Chapter 178: The House of Small Pillars

Jiang Zhao quickly scooped some water and fed it to him. The child grabbed Jiang Zhao's hand and poured water into his stomach desperately. It looked like he had been hungry for a long time.

He drank a whole gourd of water alone.

But Jiang Zhao didn't let him drink anymore. If he drank it for a while, he wouldn't be able to eat.

She asked Wei Xiang to go to the village to buy something edible, while she stayed here and continued to feed the remaining people with water.

They are already dying. If we don't care about them, it may not be long before all of them will starve to death and die of thirst.

"No, miss, Zhang Yougen lived here before. Who knows if there will be any of his people here."

Wei Xiang frowned and rejected Jiang Zhao's request.

As long as it concerns her personal safety, Wei Xiang will never compromise.

Jiang Zhao thought about it in his mind. In those TV series he watched before, the female protagonists were extremely conceited. In order to save others, they pushed the male protagonist away, giving the enemy an opportunity.

Wei Xiang was right. This was the place where Zhang Yougen lived before. No one would know if there were any of their people here. It was always right to be cautious.

She has already died once, and she doesn't want to die again. She can't do anything to seek death, and after this death, who knows whether she will really die or whether she will travel through time again.

She nodded: "Okay, let's give them some water first, and when they get better, I'll go with you."

Wei Xiang was very pleased that his young lady would still listen to him when it came to safety.

With Jiang Zhao's help, Wei Xiang fed everyone a little water.

After making sure that they all drank water and would not die for the time being, Jiang Zhao and Wei Xiang went to nearby houses to see if they could buy some food for them.

The little eunuch's home is relatively remote, and there are not many people nearby.

Jiang Zhao and Wei Xiang walked on the field ridge for a long time.

Fortunately, it is winter now. It would be extremely hot in summer.

Wei Xiang opened the road in front and stepped on all the weeds to make it easier for Jiang Zhao behind.

But there are too many weeds on this field ridge, and it may have been too long since anyone has left it.

The little eunuch's family was the only one nearby. They must have been lying in bed for a long time, and the weeds on the field ridge were growing like crazy.

Although Wei Xiang was leading the way, Jiang Zhao still had a very difficult time walking.

She looked down at the road under her feet. Everything she could see was green grass, and she couldn't see the tawny land below.

She raised her head and sighed, hoping to find her family soon. She didn't know how long the water they had just fed to the little eunuch's family would last them.

She quickened her pace, but accidentally tripped over a piece of cowweed.

Seeing that her face was about to come into close contact with those below, she had only one thought in her mind.

The fairy descended to earth, but landed face first.

Then, a pair of big hands held her firmly, preserving her fairy-like face.

She didn't need to look up to know it was Wei Xiang.

"Is everything okay?"

Wei Xiang's calm and mellow voice came from above his head.

She used Wei Xiang's hands to steady herself, then shook her head: "I'm fine."

At this time, Wei Xiang squatted down in front of her and said.

"The road here is not easy to walk. I don't know how long it will take to find them. I will carry you there."

The road was really difficult to walk, and he was worried that Jiang Zhao was walking behind him. If something happened, he might not be able to leave in time.

It would be more difficult for Jiang Zhao to walk in front, so it was the best way for him to carry her on his back.

But Jiang Zhao shook his head.

"It's okay. I just need to pay attention to myself. If you carry me on your back, it will definitely waste time."

Time now is life for the little eunuch's family.

"It will be faster if I carry you on my back."

He was waiting for Jiang Zhao behind, so he slowed down and carried Jiang Zhao on his back. He could indeed go faster.

Jiang Zhao stopped squirming and walked forward and lay on Wei Xiang's back.

Wei Xiang bumped her body upwards and frowned, why is his young lady so light?

Carrying her on his back was like carrying a bag of cotton on his shoulders, it didn't weigh much.

It seems that when I get back, I have to let my young lady do more work. At least she won't be so light.

Every time she ate a little more, Jiang Zhao shouted that she wanted to lose weight. We must not let her continue to lose weight in the future.

It's so light, so why lose weight? If I lose any more weight, I'll be dead.

Wei Xiang thought about it in his mind, and then continued walking forward.

At this time, Jiang Zhao only had one thought in his mind. Wei Xiang was indeed right. He could walk faster while carrying him on his back.

It seemed that he was dragging him down, lying on Wei Xiang's back, Jiang Zhao's face was full of pride.

Wei Xiang's steps were still steady even though he had Jiang Zhao on his back.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I finally saw a house. The village was so scattered that it took me so long to find a house.

Jiang Zhao asked Wei Xiang to put him down and go up to ask that family.

A peasant woman was feeding chickens in the yard. When she saw the two people walking towards her house, she stepped forward and asked.

"What's the matter with you two gentlemen?"

Jiang Zhao's fair face smiled brightly, and he stepped forward and asked sweetly.

"Sister, we have several friends who are dying of hunger right now. Can you sell us some food so that we can save my friends?"

There was only one house in sight here. Jiang Zhao was afraid that this lady would not sell food, so he acted so sweetly.

The peasant woman looked at this handsome young man with such a sweet mouth, she pursed her lips and smiled.

Then he went back to the house to get some food, put it into a sieve made of bamboo strips, and handed it to Jiang Zhao and the others.

"We only have so much food at home right now, so take it."

Jiang Zhao took it and looked at it. It was made of whole grain cakes. Now it had become hard and it took a lot of effort to bite it.

Quickly ask Wei Xiang to get the money.

"Thank you so much for this sister."

Jiang Zhao handed the money to the peasant woman.

But the peasant woman waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, it's just some food. Just take it. As the saying goes, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

But Jiang Zhao still put money into the hands of the peasant woman.

"The money given is not only for these meals, we also want to buy a chicken from my sister's yard."

The peasant woman subconsciously looked back at her chickens, and then at the silver coins in her hand.

"It doesn't cost so much money."

She wanted to return the extra silver to Jiang Zhao, but Jiang Zhao refused.

"My sister just said that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This money is just to repay such kind people like my sister."

Seeing that Jiang Zhao refused to take back the money, the peasant woman grabbed the two fattest chickens from her yard and gave them to Jiang Zhao.

"In that case, let me take these two chickens."

But Jiang Zhao only took one chicken.

"This one chicken is enough. Let's let this one lay eggs for a while longer."

After taking the chicken, Jiang Zhao and Wei Xiang went back without giving the peasant woman a chance to refute.

"Thank you sister."

As the two of them walked further and further away, Jiang Zhao's voice of thanks came.
