Chapter 41 Her father is quite scheming
Erlang was beaten until he jumped, but his ears were grabbed by his mother. He couldn't jump high and couldn't escape. He screamed in pain.
Chen Yuezhi was so angry that she kept whipping the cane in her hand.
Erlang was beaten until he cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf, but he still had no trace of heroism.
Jiang Wan looked on beside him, dumbfounded.
Her mother is so good!
First, he coaxed Erlang over, and then started beating him after checking his injuries. He was very strict and responsible.
She originally wanted to protect Ichigo Jiro, but after all, he was injured and lost so much blood.
But this kid Erlang is too courageous. If he doesn't clean up his memory, he will definitely do it again in the future.
Moreover, the cane was not very harmful and would only hurt for a few days at most, so she relaxed and slowly enjoyed her second brother's graceful appearance when he was being beaten.
Not to mention, the way her second brother cried after being beaten was quite funny, and she couldn't help laughing.
After Chen Yuezhi finished beating the child, she threw down the cane and told Dalang: "You guys get some food first, and I'll go take a look at the injured person."
Jiang Wan quickly followed Chen Yuezhi and went to the village chief's side.
The village chief was excited at the moment. All the stolen food was recovered. The two girls were brought back safely. Many of the men who went out to rescue people also came back.
How could this make him not excited?
"Let each family come to claim the food brought back. The extra food over there will be divided equally among the people who participated in the rescue! The injured people will be given a little more."
The men were also very satisfied. When they went to rescue people, they didn't think much about it. They only thought about bringing food and people back.
Now there is still a lot of food to share, so I am naturally happy.
After all, food is too precious. One more pound of food means one more chance of survival.
I thought that if we distributed more food to the injured people, they would feel better.
Unexpectedly, the wives of those people complained: "What's the use of just sharing more food?"
"Village Chief, you asked my boss to save people. Now that he is injured, you have to give him an explanation. You can't let him get stabbed in vain, right?"
The wives of several other people also echoed.
The village chief was so noisy that he had a headache: "Can you calm down for a while?"
The women were reluctant to let go: "If we stop, my man's injury will be cured? Then the family's cart will be able to run on its own? The whole family is trying to survive by pointing at him. He is injured.
Who pulls the car? Who carries the things?"
The village chief is old. He is tired and worried today, and his mind can no longer move at this moment.
Jiang Pan saw the village chief in such a difficult situation, so he went over and whispered a few words to him.
The village chief's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Don't worry, you guys. Your man was injured, and he was injured for the people of the village. Naturally, the village will not ignore you. I will arrange for your carriage."
People will take turns to pull them for you. Their injuries will be looked at by Dapan’s wife, and the money for the medicine...every family in the village will contribute a little."
Immediately, someone else became unhappy and said, "Why should we pay?"
The village chief said: "Just because you are a member of a small mountain village! Can you guarantee that today's incident will not happen again in the future? If it happens again, everyone is afraid that if you are injured, you will have to spend money to see the injury.
, how far can we go if we don’t even dare to come forward?”
"Although we don't have the same surname, since we come from the same village, when we go outside, we are a big family! A family naturally has to support each other. If anyone thinks what the old man said is unreasonable, then just take it from us.
Get out of the team!”
Those who were unhappy immediately became silent.
Jiang Pan stood up and said: "I would also like to express my position to everyone. As long as you are injured due to things in the village, as long as you don't need to buy medicine outside, my family will cover it all. If you need to buy medicine outside, we will also provide the money."
Give one copy."
Chen Yuezhi also said: "As long as you are injured because of the village affairs, I will not take any money from you and I will be there whenever you call."
The village chief said: "Dapan, Dapan's family, you two are doing great!"
At this time, the women had nothing to say.
The car was pulled, the injuries were treated, and more food was given to them. If they complained again, they should be stabbed in the back.
After this matter was resolved, everyone began to worry about the water issue again.
Originally, each family didn't have much water left, and could only last for half a day at most. Several families had even run out of water.
After those bad guys robbed the food and water, they immediately drank all the water. Now, their entire small mountain village, except for Jiang Pan's family who still had some water, was facing the dilemma of having no water to drink.
If there is no food, there are other ways to survive.
But without water, there is really no way to survive.
Jiang Pan sat silently. Jiang Wan felt a little strange. Their family had obviously found the water source, why didn't her father speak?
Jiang Wan raised her head and glanced at her father. Her father bent down and picked her up, and whispered: "A problem that is too easy to solve is not a problem anymore."
Jiang Wan's eyes lit up. She really didn't realize that her father was quite scheming.
Jiang Pan smiled and said nothing.
He has no bad intentions, he just knows human nature well.
If he tells the story about the water source now, the villagers will at most say a few words to him and forget about it in a few days. If the same thing happens again and again, from now on, his family will not do anything for the villagers.
Whatever happens, people in the village will take it for granted.
But in this world, there are so many things that should be taken for granted.
Of course he is willing to help the people in the village tide over the difficulties, but he also wants these people to remember the good things about his family!
Therefore, let’s let the villagers be anxious first.
Jiang Pan stood up and said to the village chief: "Village Chief, I will take Wanwan back first. She has been working hard all day and is exhausted."
Jiang Wan quickly covered her mouth and yawned.
The village chief nodded: "Go back. I heard that this little girl has made great achievements today and is the little hero of our small mountain village."
Jiang Wan pursed her lips and smiled.
With a proud look on his face, Jiang Pan hugged Jiang Wan and called Chen Yuezhi back to his home.
They had roasted yam for dinner. After eating, Jiang Wan took a sip of the water in her small water bag and shook it again.
One more thing, I can survive until tomorrow morning.
Not long after dinner, Jiang Wan couldn't open her eyes. Chen Yuezhi carried her into the tent, took off her clothes and covered her with a quilt.
I had a dreamless night, and when I woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Jiang Pan was thinking about the water source in the mountains, so he went to the village chief and started to lie, "Those people were not far ahead last night. When we leave now, we are sure to encounter them. It's better to do less than to do more. Let's go first."
It’s not too late to stay here for one more day and wait for those people to leave before setting off.”
The village chief thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so he agreed.
Once he said he couldn't leave, everyone in the village heaved a sigh of relief.
How can we travel without water?
If they continue to go forward and there is still no water, wouldn't it cost them their lives?
If they couldn't stop here, they could still turn around and go back.
Jiang Pan took the hatchet, called Chen Yuezhi, and took Jiang Wan into the mountain again.
Some villagers saw them entering and wanted to follow them.
The village chief stopped him with a cold face: "Yesterday's events haven't made your memory clear yet? You can go into the mountain, but only one man per family can go there. There is no limit on women and children. Everyone else must stay behind to look after things!"
