Chapter 48 Go and pick up a horse!
Jiang Wan spoke very directly and did not save any face for Zheng Cuier. Zheng Cuier's face turned red when she spoke.
She is a straightforward person, especially when it comes to people she doesn't like, and she is not even happy to turn around the corner. After all, she is afraid that some people will pretend to be confused and make herself sick!
Chen Yuezhi winked at Jiang Wan and told her to stop talking. Although she was a little unhappy with Zheng Cuier's behavior, after all, it was a girl's house and she had to save some respect for others.
The atmosphere was so awkward that Zheng Cuier put down the bowl and stood up: "Aunt Jiang, my parents seem to be back. I'll go back and cook for them first."
After saying that, Zheng Cuier pulled a handful of Zheng Xiaoshan who was still eating.
Zheng Xiaoshan was so greedy that he twisted his body and said unwillingly: "If you want to go, you can go by yourself. I want to finish the meal. I don't want to go back to eat the rice at home that is thin and watery."
These words simply turned Zheng Cuier's face upside down, making her want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she didn't care about Zheng Xiaoshan and left.
Zheng Xiaoshan finished eating his own bowl and felt it was not enough. Seeing that there was still a lot in Zheng Cuier's bowl, he picked it up and ate it without any hesitation. Jiang Wan's eyes almost rolled to the sky.
The rest of the Jiang family were also disgusted, but thinking that Zheng Xiaoshan would have to throw away the leftovers if he didn't want to eat them, they didn't bother to say anything.
The next day, Zheng Cuier did not come again, and Jiang Wan finally no longer had to worry about it.
However, her legs hurt even more, and there was really nothing she could do. She used her powers to relieve herself when she was on her way. Although the effect was very obvious, it really consumed her powers too much.
Jiang Wan felt her eyes darken when she thought about how many months of driving she would have to do in the future.
Jiang Pan saw that she had a sad face, so he came over and hugged her: "In the evening, are you exhausted? Let your mother rub your legs in a while. It will make you feel less uncomfortable."
Jiang Wan sighed: "It would be great if our family had a cow, so we wouldn't have to work so hard."
Jiang Pan touched her little face: "Tomorrow you will sit on the cart and dad will push you. Dad is stronger than an ox."
Jiang Wan shook his head: "No, I'll go by myself later in the evening. I won't be afraid of getting tired later."
How strange!
She was almost tired and crying, so she had to find a way to get a cow quickly.
Jiang Pan felt very distressed when he saw his daughter like this, so he asked Chen Yuezhi to discuss: "Why don't we sell the ginseng and buy a cow before we get to the town? She felt sorry for us in the evening, and she couldn't bear to take the car and had to go by herself. How old is she?"
"Oh, how can you afford to travel in such a hurry?"
Chen Yuezhi nodded quickly: "I was just planning to tell you this. Although we have made arrangements for the ginseng before, in the end money is more important than being unworthy. Besides, I dug up the ginseng late at night. I bought an ox to pull the cart.
You won’t have to walk by yourself tonight.”
The couple hit it off immediately, so they told Jiang Wan the news.
Jiang Wan was so happy that she wanted to jump up, and quickly released Ponyboy to explore the road to see how long it would take to reach the next town.
Ponyboy was very efficient and brought back the news quickly.
About twenty feet away from their team is the next town, and they can get there tomorrow.
Sure enough, at noon the next day, they arrived outside the town.
The gate of the town is guarded by officers and soldiers. In addition to locals who can enter and exit freely, outsiders who want to enter must pay a fee of fifty cents per person to enter the city.
The villagers in the small mountain village originally thought of going into the city to check out the situation, but when they heard about the 50 yuan entry fee, they were immediately frightened and stepped back.
But at the city gate, they met several villagers.
Those were the villagers who helped carry Jiang Laosan to seek medical treatment a few days ago.
As soon as Mrs. Jiang saw those people, she hurriedly went up to them and asked, "Why are you here? Where is my third child? How is he?"
Those people said: "Don't worry, your third child is fine. The doctor in the city said that the medicine from Dapan's family is very effective, otherwise your third child will definitely die on the way. The entrance fee is too expensive, you
My third daughter-in-law asked us to wait for you here. Why are you so slow? We have been waiting here for several days."
Mrs. Jiang automatically filtered out the rest of the words and only heard the words "Jiang Laosan is okay". She fell to her knees with a plop, clasped her hands together and bowed to the sky: "Thank God, thank God."
The people in the village were speechless. Shouldn't we thank Chen Yuezhi for this?
Mrs. Jiang found out clearly where Jiang Laosan was at the hospital, gritted her teeth, paid the fifty cash entry fee, and hurried into the city to look for the person.
Chen Yuezhi dug out the bag containing money at home and counted a hundred large coins from it.
We really don't have much money at home, so we managed to save this hundred dollars from between our teeth.
The two of them were about to take the money to pay the city fee, but Jiang Wan stopped them.
"Father, mother, please wait for a moment. I asked Xiaoniao to go into the city and inquire about the situation. We will make sure there are people selling cattle before we go in. Otherwise, the entry fee will be in vain."
When the two of them heard this, they felt that it made sense, so they sat and waited with peace of mind.
Regarding Jiang Wan's little bird, the two of them were very receptive. After all, there are gods, so what's so strange about a little bird sent by a god?
Ponyboy worked very hard and carefully explored this small town. The results he brought back made Jiang Wan very frustrated.
The situation in the city was very bad. Most of the shops were closed, the two carriage houses were closed, and there was nothing in the horse pen in the backyard.
Jiang Wan squatted on the ground sadly and drew circles.
Jiang Pan and Chen Yuezhi felt very distressed, so they picked her up and coaxed her: "Don't be sad tonight, just forget it if you can't buy it. You just sit on the cart. Dad has plenty of strength. Just sit on it with confidence."
Just when Jiang Wan was hesitating whether to agree or not, Ponyboy brought back another news.
In a mountain col more than ten miles away from the town, there were two seriously injured horses!
Jiang Wan asked in shock: "Really?"
Ponyboy kept shouting excitedly on the branch, repeatedly assuring that his news was absolutely true.
Jiang Wan quickly told Jiang Pan and Chen Yuezhi the news. The couple were also extremely shocked, and then immediately decided to find the two horses!
So the family of three deliberately found an excuse to go around and hurried towards the mountain col.
A journey of more than ten miles sounds not far, but walking it is no joke.
The couple took turns carrying Jiang Wan on their backs all the way without daring to delay. They walked for an hour before arriving at the place Ponyboy mentioned.
When we arrived at the place, the family of three was shocked.
Jiang Pan even quickly reached out to cover Jiang Wan's eyes.
I saw dead bodies lying on the ground in this mountain col, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
These corpses were all dressed in uniform black attire, and they looked like they were extraordinary. The two injured horses were among the dead corpses.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Pan are real villagers. They had never seen such a scene before, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
Jiang Wan wanted to pull Jiang Pan's hand off.
Jiang Pan covered his head tightly, "Don't look at it tonight, it will scare you."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan didn't care at all and said: "Dad, you covered it up too late. I saw it just now."
Jiang Pan:……
