Chapter 12 Good luck at night
Jiang Silang fell a bit badly, his head was knocked out by a rock in the mountain, and he bled a lot.
Jiang Yusheng was afraid that he would die in the mountain, so she took a lot of effort to get him down the mountain. However, when her mother saw that Silang fell like that, without saying a word, she grabbed a broom and beat him.
Jiang Wan gloated for a while and listened to Jiang Yu's screams of being beaten, and then she let Erlang carry her into the yard.
As soon as Jiang Yu saw her, she shouted at the top of her lungs: "Jiang Wan is back, she was the one who caused Shiro to fall down the mountain!"
Mrs. Zhou immediately rushed over with a broom in hand, "Little Hoof, you made my Shiro fall down the mountain, right? You broomstick and a pest, come down here and see if I don't beat you to death today!"
Erlang grabbed the broom she waved over, stared and said: "If you dare to touch a hair of my sister, try it! It was obviously your untutored son who wanted to bully Wanwan, but he couldn't stand still and fell.
Shan, you want to frame her now, how shameless! Why didn’t you kill that scourge Jiang Silang!”
Dalang came out of the house and stopped in front of Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Su stepped forward and pretended to persuade Mrs. Zhou, but in fact he held her and dragged her aside.
Zhou alone could not stand up to Da Lang's three people. She watched helplessly as San Lang carried Jiang Wan on his back and rushed into the east wing, making her scream in anger.
After Da Lang and others retreated, Mrs. Zhou sat down on the ground and began to beat her legs and curse.
The older men closed the doors and windows tightly and pretended not to hear.
Erlang took out the roasted chestnuts he brought back and poured them on the table. Dalang and Su's eyes lit up and they asked in low voices: "Where did this come from?"
Sanlang proudly pushed Jiang Wan forward: "I found it late at night."
Dalang and his wife were very surprised. From yesterday to today, they have found food three times at night. This is really incredible.
However, they didn't say anything. They ate their share of chestnuts with the doors and windows closed, and drank some water. The feeling of filling their stomachs was so wonderful that even Zhou's curses didn't sound so harsh.
.
It was already afternoon when Jiang Pan and Chen Yuezhi came back. As soon as Zhou saw them coming back, she ran over to argue with them.
Unexpectedly, the couple scolded them with serious faces: "Go away! Your life is almost gone, and you still have the energy to quarrel over such trivial matters. It seems that you are really not hungry!"
Zhou was stunned for a moment after being scolded, and then started to cry and howl again at the throat.
Mrs. Jiang rushed out of the house and glared at Jiang Pan and his wife: "What on earth do you want to do? It doesn't matter if you bully the younger one, you still want to bully the older one!"
Jiang Pan went out to inquire for most of the day. His heart was very heavy and he had no intention of making trouble with Mrs. Jiang. He passed her without saying a word and entered the main room to find Mr. Jiang.
Old Man Jiang asked with a dark face: "Can your big house still be quiet? If not, pack up your things and move out quickly. It will annoy people to death if they see such a noisy situation!"
Jiang Pan originally wanted to discuss escaping from the famine with him, but seeing his attitude, he suddenly lost the idea of discussing it and turned around and walked out.
What is there to discuss with such a confused person?
So Jiang Pan went to the village chief's house and told him the news he had learned today.
"Village Chief, a group of refugees has come from the north. It is said that there are tens of thousands or even more. They are not far from us now. The villages that have received the news are already preparing to evacuate. Should we also prepare?
Woke up?"
The village chief's expression became much more solemn: "I'll gather all the people in the village first to see what everyone thinks. After all, leaving one's hometown is not a trivial matter. We have to listen to everyone's thoughts. You go to the ancestral hall and wait in person first.
Tell everyone what you learned."
Jiang Pan nodded, stood up and left.
After a while, the villagers heard the bells from the ancestral hall and knew that the village chief was summoning them to a meeting, so they hurried to the ancestral hall.
Jiang Wan heard the sound and hurriedly asked Sanlang to take him over to join in the fun.
When they arrived, Jiang Pan was telling the villagers the news he had heard.
The village chief took over and said: "The situation is serious now, and many villages have begun to flee. I have called everyone here just to ask everyone what they want. Whether to flee or stay, let's make an idea together!"
Someone said: "It's dry everywhere now, and we don't have much food in hand. What if we encounter something else along the way?"
"If death is inevitable, then I would rather die in the village."
"Yes, we are so old. If we stay here, it might rain in a few days. If we escape, we will die on the way."
"At least there is still water in the village. If we go out, we may not even have water."
"I won't leave, I won't go anywhere. When the refugees come, can't we work together to drive them away?"
"Although it's sad to stay, at least we still have a house and land. As long as it rains, we will have a way to survive. But when we go to a foreign country, we don't even have a roof to cover our heads, so our life is worse than a beggar. I
If you don’t leave, I won’t go anywhere!”
Everyone talked non-stop, and finally decided unanimously not to leave.
It is difficult to leave their homeland, and the situation outside is not optimistic, so the villagers do not want to escape.
Seeing the villagers like this, Jiang Pan could only sigh helplessly. He had really tried his best. No one was willing to leave, and there was nothing he could do.
On the way home, Jiang Pan deliberately stood on the roadside waiting for Mr. Jiang, told him his plan, and wanted to persuade Mr. Jiang to leave together.
"Dad, the situation is a bit serious. Let's go with Da Niu's mother-in-law's family. It's better to have more people to take care of us."
Unexpectedly, Old Man Jiang didn't even raise his eyes: "You can leave if you want, but I have to say it first. Since you have decided to leave, then this family will be divided. You can't take the house or the land with you.
So I won’t share it with you. There is no food at home, so don’t count on it. If you can’t survive outside and come back, I won’t care.”
Jiang Pan's heart felt cold. He was worried that Old Man Jiang would be in danger if he stayed here, but as a result, Old Man Jiang was plotting everything about the big house.
Anyway, he has tried his best to say and do what he should do. As long as he has a clear conscience.
Jiang Laoer, who came back from nowhere, began to sneer: "My family has been in a big disaster, so I want to drag the whole village with me to escape. Is this because I want everyone to protect you on the road? The abacus is really loud. Unfortunately,
No one else is a fool, some people’s wishful thinking is in vain.”
Jiang Pan had been running around all day today. The more he knew, the heavier the burden on his heart became. He was too lazy to argue with Jiang Laoer, so he ignored him and quickened his pace to chase his wife and children.
Jiang Lao Er snorted and turned to go to Old Man Jiang, "Dad, don't listen to the boss's nonsense. It's such a mess outside. We will die if we go out."
Old Man Jiang snorted: "I know what's going on, don't worry, they can leave as they please. I won't stop them."
Jiang Laoer rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, I'm afraid the eldest brother has some back-up tricks in his hands. Those things were all stolen by our Jiang family."
Old Man Jiang snorted twice and said nothing.
Jiang Laoer knew his temper well and had a smile on his face.
