Chapter 254 A jade pendant in exchange for two boxes of rice
Jiang Xuan took a deep breath, suppressed his anxiety, and responded, "Clan leader, Uncle Dong, I understand."
"Um!"
Jiang Shihao looked back at the forest on the right. After another few dozen seconds,
I saw several figures appearing within the scope of the flashlight light.
It was Jiang Shui, Jiang Feng and Jiang Ye, and there was a figure following Jiang Shui,
This figure is only half the height of Jiang Shui. If you look closely, you can see that it is a little girl.
Snap!
Snap!
Jiang Shui and others quickly arrived in front of Jiang Shihao,
"Shihao, look,"
Jiang Shui pointed at the little girl,
Jiang Shihao nodded, "Tell me, Uncle Shui, what happened?"
Although he had already made some guesses, he still had to hear from Jiang Shui and others about the specific situation.
Jiang Huo, Jiang Yaodong and others also looked at the little girl next to Jiang Shui, with doubts on their faces.
Jiang Shui, "Chief, it's like this. This kid saw our camp, so he wanted to come over and have a look. Then he inadvertently got involved in the bells arranged secretly, and there was a burst of rapid ringing, and I went over to see
Then she took off the bell, so it rang again..."
Jiang Shui explained what happened before,
"I understand, Uncle Shui, then why did you bring her back?"
Jiang Shihao looked at the little girl next to Jiang Shui. The little girl was probably only seven or eight years old. She was wearing a flowered short-sleeve with several patches. Her hair probably just reached her shoulders. She was uneven, her face was pale, and her figure was
Thin, looking at them nervously and fearfully,
"Shihao, let her tell you,"
Jiang Shui sighed, looked at the little girl and said, "Child, this is our clan leader. Tell our clan leader the matter yourself."
"Well, I understand, uncle,"
The little girl nodded, looked at Jiang Shihao and whispered, "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make the bell ring. I didn't know there was a bell there. I saw the fire here and smelled the fragrance from over there.
the taste,"
"So I was wondering if there was anything to eat here? But when I was there, I accidentally tripped on something that looked like a thread, and then a bell rang. I'm sorry, brother..."
When the little girl said this, she apologized to Jiang Shihao,
Jiang Shihao said calmly, "It's okay,"
There was no strange aura about the little girl, and when the little girl arrived, he also took out the soul-calming bell and asked Xiaolin if there was anything unusual about the little girl. Xiaoling told her that there was nothing unusual.
Combining these two reasons, he just said what he just said. Even if he is not a good person, he cannot just raise a knife and kill such a little girl.
"Thank you, big brother,"
The little girl has a smile on her pale face,
Cuckoo!
A sound came from the little girl's belly,
The little girl quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Jiang Shihao anymore.
Seeing this, Jiang Shihao understood that the little girl was hungry, and turned to look at the people on the side, "Everyone, put your guns away, sit down and continue eating,"
"Yes, patriarch,"
Jiang Huo, Jiang Yaodong and others also understood what happened. Everyone looked at the little girl with a hint of emotion on their faces. There was no need to say anything about the situation of so many little girls coming out to look for food at such a late hour.
Just like their Jiangjia Village at that time,
…
Everyone sat down and picked up the self-heating rice that they had not finished eating before.
"Shihao, can you give her a box of self-heating rice?" Jiang Shui didn't know how much food Jiang Shihao had stored, so she was hesitant when she said this.
Hearing this, Jiang Yaodong knew Jiang Shui's thoughts and whispered, "Chief, give this little girl my lunch box for tomorrow. I don't eat much."
After hearing Yaodong's words, Jiang Chen, Jiang Xuan and others also spoke one after another.
"I am also the leader of the clan,"
"I can survive without one meal,"
Jiang Shihao had a smile on his face. Although the people in Jiangjia Village had changed a lot, the kindness and simplicity in their hearts were still engraved in their bones.
He waved his hand downwards, and everyone instantly fell into silence upon seeing this.
He said, "What do you think? I still don't understand? Besides, in your opinion, your clan leader, am I the kind of person who has no love at all?"
"Clan leader, that's not what we meant!"
Jiang Yaodong quickly responded,
Jiang Shihao waved his hand, "Okay, Uncle Dong, I'm just kidding."
After saying that, he looked at the little girl aside,
"Are you hungry? I have delicious food here."
Hearing this, the little girl looked at the self-heating rice that Jiang Shihao took out, swallowing her saliva, but did not reach out to take the self-heating rice that Jiang Shihao handed over.
Instead, he looked at Jiang Shihao and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, is it really okay? I see there are so many people in Big Brother!"
Jiang Shihao smiled and said, "Brother, I still have a lot of food here. You can take it with confidence!"
The little girl nodded obediently, "Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother!"
After receiving the self-heating rice, the little girl did not open it immediately to eat, but held it carefully.
Jiang Shihao saw this and asked, "Is it a little hot?"
This self-heating rice has been taken out and heated before, so the little girl does not need to reheat it herself.
The little girl shook her head, "Brother, I want to take it back to my mother. My mother hasn't eaten yet."
Hearing this, Jiang Shihao probably guessed something about the little girl's situation. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's take another box back."
"Thank you, big brother," the girl said with surprise on her face. She reached out and took something from her neck and handed it to Jiang Shihao. "Brother, you gave me something to eat. I'll give this to you."
Jiang Shihao looked at what the little girl took out. It was a round jade pendant with an old color on it, but under the light of the flashlight it reflected a green orchid color.
The color is very transparent, and there are exquisite and complex patterns on it.
It looks like several big snakes surrounding it.
Looking at this jade pendant, Jiang Shihao's eyes flashed with light. He knew that the value of this jade pendant was not low. It was a real antique.
Jiang Shui, Jiang Huo and others also saw that this jade pendant was a good thing.
Everyone had surprise on their faces, they didn't expect this little girl to have such a thing.
Looking at the little girl, Jiang Shihao shook his head, "It's just two boxes of rice. You can just take it back and eat it. You don't have to give me anything."
The thing that the little girl took out was real, but he didn't want to take advantage of it. If it was found in an antique street or found in a tomb, he would never let it go.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, with a disappointed look on her face, "Brother, am I not good at this?"
Jiang Shihao, "No, this thing is very good. Don't take it out casually in the future."
"Big Brother, then this thing is very good, why don't you want it? If you don't want it, then I won't want Big Brother's food either!"
The little girl looked at Jiang Shihao with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes,
Seeing this, Jiang Shihao nodded, "Okay, then I'll take it."
"That's good, big brother. Mom said you can't accept help from others for no reason."
The little girl happily put the jade pendant in Jiang Shihao's hand, and then picked up the two boxes of self-heating rice.
Then he looked at Jiang Shui and the others beside him, "Thank you, uncle,"
Jiang Shui also had a smile on his face, "It's okay, go back quickly,"
"Um,"
The little girl nodded obediently, carried the natural rice and walked towards the way she had just come, entered the forest and finally disappeared in front of everyone.
Watching the little girl leave, Jiang Huo sighed, "Shihao, if it weren't for you, the children in our village would definitely be in the same situation, coming out to eat early in the middle of the night."
"Uncle Huo, and everyone, we can't forget the painful experiences and years in the past, but we shouldn't be too attached to the past. We should seize the present moment, so that we can go further and better,"
Jiang Shihao said calmly,
"Yes, patriarch,"
Everyone looked at Jiang Shihao with deep respect in their eyes.
They understand that if their family elders had not proposed reforms, their Jiangjia Village would have disappeared into the long river of history.
Jiang Shihao then said, "You guys eat first, I'll go out for a while."
Jiang Shui, "Shihao? Where are you going?"
Jiang Shihao took out the little girl's jade pendant. Under the light of the fire, the jade pendant had a strange brilliance and looked very extraordinary.
"Uncle Huo, you can see it, right? This is a real thing."
Jiang Shui nodded, "Yes, I never thought that this little girl would have such a jade pendant on her body."
Jiang Huo, Jiang Yaodong and others also nodded silently,
To this day, although everyone is still unable to identify some hidden artifacts, they still have the ability to judge most antiques.
So they didn't expect that the little girl in simple clothes would have such a jade pendant.
Jiang Shihao, "Uncle Shui, the value of this jade pendant is far more than the two boxes of lunches I gave, so I plan to return this jade pendant to the little girl,"
After everyone heard this, they finally understood what Jiang Shihao meant.
"So that's it, Shihao, let's go together!"
"Yes, Mr. Patriarch, it is really uneasy for you to go out alone,"
Jiang Yaodong also continued,
Looking at the few people, Jiang Shihao smiled and said, "Okay, then you can go with me, but you still have to leave a few people in the camp."
"Yes, patriarch,"
Everyone responded,
A few minutes later, Jiang Shihao selected the people to go with him this time, Jiang Shui and Jiang Yaodong.
Jiang Huo stayed in the camp.
After discussing it, Jiang Shihao took Jiang Shui and Jiang Yaodong into the woods. Want to know where the little girl's home is?
First, we need to find the traces left by the little girl in the woods.
This is not difficult for Jiang Shihao,
In less than ten seconds, Jiang Shihao saw the little girl's footprints on the ground.
He waved to Jiang Shui and Jiang Yaodong, motioning them to follow, following the traces left by the little girl.
We walked forward for about twenty minutes,
Jiang Shihao saw a small wooden house in front of him and turned around to give Jiang Shui and Jiang Yaodong a few gestures.
