Starting as a Mute Girl? I Thrive in Famine Years

Special forces operative Jiang Huaixu transmigrated, becoming a seemingly dull and mute girl.

Her grandmother secretly abused her and even planned to sell her off? Jiang Huaixu was furious, d...

Chapter 124 Pre-war Preparations

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end with Jiang Wei's arrival.

After Jiang Wei called the two of them to dinner, she came outside the tent and called out to Jiang Huaixu, "Little sister, why do you always go into the tent?"

Jiang Huaixu lifted the tent curtain and stuck his head out. "I know. Come now, don't nag me."

After sending Jiang Wei away as he wished, Jiang Huaixu focused his attention on checking the situation in the space.

Futuan, which was originally a physical entity, is now busy in the space. It directs Fubao to process wheat into flour and paddy into refined rice. After processing, all of them are caught in burlap bags, directly realizing fully automatic integration.

The remaining wheat bran and rice husks after processing are all spread on the black soil.

Seeing that Fubao was so capable, Jiang Huaixu stopped staring at him, said hello to Futuan, and walked out of the tent after regaining consciousness.

When she sank her consciousness into the space again before going to bed, Fu Tuan had already transferred bags of flour and rice into the medical space. She counted them and there were exactly twenty sacks.

[Host, why are you getting so much food? Are you giving it to the bandits?]

[Do I look stupid to you?] Jiang Huaixu was speechless. [Hide in the bandits' cave and take them as trophies.]

Of course, if the bandits had stored food, she wouldn't have to worry about this.

After transferring all the weapons that might be needed into the medical space, Jiang Huaixu fell asleep.

The next day, not long after the villagers and the carriages and horses entered the valley, Jiang Huaixu heard Fu Tuan's reminder.

[Host, there is a spy on the hill on the right.]

Jiang Huaixu, who was concentrating on walking, looked up at the sun hanging in the sky. When he looked away, he glanced to the right out of the corner of his eye.

Maybe it was because of the angle, she couldn't see anyone.

Spy Qi Dafu didn't expect to encounter a group of refugees on his first surveillance mission. He immediately rushed into the dense forest with joy and ran towards Yangwei Village halfway up the mountain.

"Boss, boss, boss!"

Before anyone arrived, a series of "bosses" were disturbing people and making them very annoyed.

"You bastard! What the hell are you yelling about? Just say what you want to say!"

The chief of Yangwei Village sat on a seat padded with tiger skin and scratched his ear with his little finger.

Qi Dafu immediately fell silent, his face smiling like a chrysanthemum. "To answer the question, Boss, I saw some refugees passing by at the foot of the mountain. There was also a wealthy family with a carriage and servants. Oh my God, as they walked by, there was a lot of clanking. Isn't it obvious that they are being robbed? Boss, when are we going to rob them? We can't let other mountain masters get away with it!"

"Who's so foresighted as to send them straight to the gate of our Yangwei Village?" The second in command slammed the table in ecstasy, stood up, and bowed to the first in command. "Brother, after waiting for so long, a business opportunity has finally arrived. I'll bring my brothers and capture them right away."

"Wait a minute!"

The head of the family stopped the man and asked Qi Dafu, "Head?"

Qi Dafu scratched his head. He was so happy that he didn't even count the number of people. He said uncertainly, "It's about the same as in our village, right? Anyway, the line is quite long!"

The energetic second-in-command's eyes widened, "Good-for-nothing! What did I tell you all the time? Come back and report back! If you can't explain clearly, I'll kill you and feed you to the wolves!"

Qi Dafu walked in happily and came out tremblingly. He didn't dare to delay and ran again with his weak legs.

This time, he ran back in no time. "Big boss, second in command, this team has two to three hundred people. There are also many guards around the convoy of that wealthy family. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them..."

Someone in the hall said, "So what if there are only two or three hundred people? Excluding the elderly, the weak, women and children, there won't be many left. We must not let this group of people go easily!"

"Yeah, Boss, how long have we not been open for business? Qiao Da and the others went hunting in the mountains and haven't come back yet. We can't just sit back and eat up all the food."

"They are all people who live on the edge of a knife, why should we be afraid of them?"

······

The eldest leader thought for a moment before speaking, "I will personally lead the charge this time. Second brother, you stay in the village and wait for good news from me!"

"kill!!"

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The shouts and cries of killing resounded throughout the mountains and forests.

In the valley, Jiang Huaixu put two fingers into his mouth and a clear whistle sounded. The children who heard the whistle immediately took out their bows and arrows, passed the adults and gathered around Jiang Huaixu.

The villagers were no longer surprised. They knew that this was Jiang Huaixu's way of summoning the Boy Scouts, and it had happened several times before.

The team continued to advance slowly, unlike the easy pace in the past. Everyone on this road was on high alert, fearing that someone would jump out of the bushes on the roadside.

"Remember what I told you before?"

"Remember! Kneel down at the adults' feet and just aim and shoot!"

"If we get separated, form groups of three, back to back, and slowly move towards the main force!"

······

Seeing that they remembered clearly, Jiang Huaixu nodded with satisfaction, but a stern look was rarely seen on his face. "Remember Niutou Village?"

"The Niutou Village where the entire village was killed?" Zheng Yuan asked.

On the way to meet up with people from Zhengjia Village, Dahuai Village and Shili Village, they passed by Niutou Village. At that time, they did not know that the village was full of dead people. It was only later that people from Shili Village told them.

After hearing this, everyone felt a chill from the soles of their feet and were scared for a long time.

"Yes, you have to understand one thing. If we lose, our fate will be no different from that of the people in Niutou Village, or perhaps even worse. They will kill the useless elderly and those who resist. They will not kill the children because they are tender and will only save them for when they run out of food."

"Ah?!" a child screamed.

"Sister Ah Xu, are you lying to us?"

"Wow, wow, I don't want to be eaten!"

The crying seemed to be contagious. Suddenly, the tears in the eyes of many children were about to fall, and some even burst into tears.

The villagers who were far away were confused, not knowing why so many children were crying while walking. The villagers who were nearby were also filled with fear, because they knew what Jiang Huaixu said was true.

When forced into a desperate situation, it becomes rare for people not to eat humans.

The team stopped at some point.

Jiang Huaixu said loudly: "Three breaths."

After the two words were spoken, the crying became softer and softer, and finally disappeared.

Jiang Huaixu scanned the familiar faces before him, his voice clear and firm, "I'm not trying to scare you. I know that although you're young, you've seen many things along the way that you wouldn't have dared to imagine before. Not everything will wait until you're prepared. If the bandits attack us now, you only need to do two things—remember what I said before and listen to my instructions. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

The voice is young but neat.
