After the village chief thought carefully about Jiang Pan's words, he felt that what he said made sense.

It would be unwise to lose a big thing because of a small thing.

Especially after what happened in the past few days, he now admires Jiang Pan very much. Whether it is his courage or his ideas, he feels that Jiang Pan is a reliable person.

So he said: "Then I will gather the villagers together and ask them to prepare quickly. We will set off yesterday."

Jiang Pan breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to his home.

The village chief was very active and soon summoned the villagers to inform them of the departure tomorrow.

Naturally, the villagers had various opinions. After all, there were quite a lot of snakes on the mountain. One more day to stay would mean one more day's harvest.

The village chief scolded the villagers with a cold face: "Everyone has such shallow eyelids that they don't want to think about it. If you are unlucky enough to run into a homeless person, who of the snakes you beat will get the better of you in the end? Tonight, all of you will be better off.

Get ready quickly and go to the mountains to collect water tomorrow morning and set off after lunch. If anyone is reluctant to part with those snakes, just keep them."

The village chief's prestige was quite high. After losing his temper, no one dared to say anything.

Early the next morning, every household arranged for people to go to the mountains to collect water.

After the water shortage a few days ago, everyone tried their best to save water this time. Jiang Wan's family filled all the water bladders with water, and cut many bamboo poles to hold water, so that they were fully prepared for the whole family.

Drink enough for half a month.

Thanks to the strong strength of the Jiang family, otherwise it would have been a big problem to get on the road with so much extra weight.

Many villagers also took advantage of the last half day to run all over the mountains looking for snakes, hoping to catch a few more snakes in the last half day.

After busy work until noon, after dinner, the village chief announced that we would set off again.

During this stop, the villagers had water and shot many snakes. They were all confident and felt energetic when they set out on the road.

Jiang Wan walked happily with her family on her short legs, while her ponyboy stood on her shoulders and flew to the team to inquire about news.

After just walking for an hour, Jiang Wan couldn't lift her legs. Although she was strong, she was still small. When an adult took one step, she had to run two steps to keep up. Being able to run with him for an hour was already quite impressive.

It's not easy anymore.

Jiang Pan said distressedly: "In the evening, come and sit on the roof of the car."

Jiang Wan waved her hand: "No, I can hold on."

Their family had prepared so much water, and the car was much heavier than it had been a few days ago. She couldn't bear to sleep on the roof of the car again.

Chen Yuezhi took out the strap and said, "Mom, I'll carry you on my back."

Jiang Wan was even more reluctant: "I can do it on my own, mother, just leave me alone."

Her little fat body weighs forty or fifty pounds, so no one can carry her far.

It was just that she was really tired from traveling. When she took a rest in the evening, she felt like her short legs were about to run away from home.

It would be nice if there was a cow at home, so that the luggage would be pulled by the cow, and the family would be more relaxed. She could lie down on the bullock cart at any time.

Where to get a cow?

Jiang Wan was thinking about something in her heart, and couldn't keep her eyes open as she thought about it.

When she was woken up again, dinner was already ready. When Jiang Wan came out of the tent, she unexpectedly saw Zheng Cuier again!

As a result, when the rice was just out of the pot, Zheng Xiaoshan also came over. The reason this time was that his parents had not come back from the mountain and there was no food at home. Then he looked longingly at the Jiang family's rice pot.

Chen Yuezhi frowned, but in the end she couldn't help but give him a big bowl.

Jiang Wan looked at the two siblings eating their own food, feeling unhappy.

Sanlang came over and whispered: "Wanwan, do you also feel that something is wrong with Zheng Cuier?"

Jiang Wan nodded: "But I can't tell. Does her family have nothing to do?"

Sanlang chuckled: "It's not that her family has nothing to do, but it's that they are running out of food."

Jiang Wan glared: "So, she is here to make a living?"

Sanlang said with a stinky face, "As soon as it was dinner time, she came over and asked to help, and she only helped to light the fire, guarding the stove. As soon as the meal was ready, her brother came over and stared at the pot without moving. Our mother did the same thing.

If we don't open our mouth to drive people away, we'll just let them have a rough time."

Jiang Wan grinded his teeth. Zheng Dayou's family was really shameless.

No, we have to think of a way to drive Zheng Cuier and her brother away. Her family doesn't have much food, so why should she support two unrelated people?

The two brothers and sisters were talking when suddenly a Nuonuo voice came over: "Uncle, aunt, are you eating?"

Jiang Wan turned around and saw, wasn't that Zhang Qiaoxiu?

Chen Yuezhi greeted with a smile: "Qiao Xiu, have you eaten? Let's eat some together?"

Zhang Qiaoxiu shook his head quickly: "Auntie, I have already eaten. Uncle Dapan, Wanwan, and Brother Erlang saved me a few days ago. My parents have been thinking about thanking you, but there is nothing useful at home. Yesterday they

Go to the mountain and kill some snakes, clean them up and ask me to deliver them to you."

Chen Yuezhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly declined: "Your parents are so old, it's not easy to get something. You can just keep it at home and eat it. Why should you send it to my house? I have so much snake meat at home, I can't afford it. Listen to my aunt.

, take it back quickly."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiaoxiu put the basket on the ground, turned around and ran away, "Auntie, that's a little bit of our family's wishes, just accept it. Brother Erlang is injured, give him some extra patching."

Before he finished speaking, the person had already run away.

Chen Yuezhi looked at the basket of snakes and felt a little embarrassed: "What can we do?"

Jiang Wan came over and said, "Mom, since it is Sister Qiaoxiu's family's wish, just accept it."

Chen Yuezhi tapped her forehead: "Your uncle Zhang Gui's family is not having a good time. They are so old. It takes a lot of effort to fight these snakes."

Jiang Wan said: "Mom, this is the wish of Sister Qiaoxiu's family. If we don't accept it, their family will definitely feel bad. Let's accept it first, and then we can find an opportunity to stuff the things back later, right? This is safe.

It’s great to understand the wishes of Sister Qiaoxiu’s family and not have to worry about their family having no food.”

Chen Yuezhi said with a smile: "You little girl is quite good at coming up with ideas. If it works, I'll listen to you."

Jiang Wan grinned and turned around to see Zheng Cuier holding her bowl and eating deliciously, feeling increasingly unhappy.

Look, they are all rescued people. Why is there such a big gap?

So Jiang Wan said: "Mom, Sister Cui'er and I can't play together. Don't let Sister Cui'er come tomorrow."

Zheng Cuier froze when she heard this, quickly put down the bowl and said: "In the evening, if you don't want to go out to play, I will come over to accompany you. I..."

Jiang Wan clasped her hands in front of her chest and said with a straight face: "No, Sister Cui'er, you and I are too different in age, so there's nothing fun about it. Besides, I have my little brother to accompany me, no.

I’m short of playmates. Besides, my family doesn’t have much food, and every meal is a fixed amount. If you come here every day and have dinner before leaving, our whole family will have to go to bed hungry.”

"If your family really wants to thank us, then just do the same as Sister Qiaoxiu's family and just send us something real."
