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 90 Sewing Masks

In the end, Jiang Huaixu dragged Qian Xiuzhu to a deserted place and took out the safe pants he had just bought from the mall.

"Mom, have you ever worn panties? These are worn the same way as panties, but without the straps. You can wear them without leaking even when you sleep..."

Qian Xiuzhu touched the strange-looking 'comfort pants' and found them exceptionally soft. She asked in surprise, "Is this made of cotton?"

Cotton is precious and tight.

"I don't know what it is, but there are a lot of them piled up in the little house. I think they are worthless." Jiang Huaixu said, "Mom, put them on. I'll help you keep an eye on others."

After saying that, she turned her back.

Qian Xiuzhu put on the so-called "comfort pants" awkwardly, and after putting them on, she also walked awkwardly.

"Mom, just walk normally." Jiang Huaixu pinched the flesh on his back and forced himself not to laugh out loud.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qian Xiuzhu's face, and she looked several years younger. "I'm not used to it... Let's go back quickly. We can't let the villagers wait for us."

"Yeah." Jiang Huaixu responded, worried that Qian Xiuzhu was still feeling unwell, and reached out to support her.

As soon as the mother and daughter returned to the resting place, Jiang Zhengmao shouted and set off.

"Wife, you are not feeling well. I just made a space in the car for you to sit. Come, get in." Boss Jiang tilted his head and motioned Qian Xiuzhu to sit in.

Jiang Huaixu asked what Boss Jiang was doing when he was resting on the cart. That was great, he maintained his image as a man who loves his wife.

Her father is the best man of this era!

Qian Xiuzhu felt a little embarrassed when she saw the children looking at her. She wanted to say something, but was pulled directly to the side of the car.

"Mom, you're not in good condition. Don't get too tired. I'll make some medicine for you tonight. For now, just make do."

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Sanlang asked blankly.

The others also looked worried.

Jiang Sanlang didn't know. Jiang Wei looked at her mother's face and came to her senses. She knew that her mother had stomach pain during her period. She raised her hand and patted Jiang Sanlang's shoulder, "Third brother, didn't you hear what my youngest sister said? She just happened to have some medicine. Don't worry."

As she spoke, she and Jiang Huaixu stood on each side of the cart, looking at Qian Xiuzhu like bodyguards.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Qian Xiuzhu had no choice but to get on the cart. After getting on, she felt her face burning.

Jiang Huaixu and Jiang Fu helped push the cart while chatting with Qian Xiuzhu, and Zheng Li Niang also joked from time to time. Qian Xiuzhu, who was sitting in the cart, gradually relaxed.

Zheng Wangshi saw this scene from afar and curled her lips. "Our mother-in-law will be rich and noble in the future. She can even ride in a car when she escapes from danger. Old man, when will your son let me enjoy this blessing?"

Zheng Lai Tou knew his wife's temper very well. At this time, anything he said would be wrong. Smiling was the best choice. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person!

If Zheng Cong and Zheng Ming knew the word "involution", they would definitely shout to the sky - involution is prohibited on the road to escape!

They walked for another afternoon. In the evening, they passed by a village. Seeing that there were people in the village, they decided to spend the night near the village.

Whenever they arrived at a place, Jiang Huaixu would ask Fu Tuan to scan the layout within a one-kilometer radius, so that if an emergency occurred, they could choose a suitable route to escape.

This time is no exception.

Jiang Zhengmao and Village Chief Zheng were negotiating with the village chief, and many refugees gathered together to listen.

I learned from the village chief that the village is called Xiaoyang Village. Due to its remote location, only a few thatched houses in the village collapsed when the earth dragon turned over, and only a handful of people were injured. I don’t know if it was the impact of the earth dragon turning over, but there was a rat plague in the village, and people have been bitten by rats in recent days.

When Jiang Huaixu heard the word "rat plague", his eyes flashed, and he looked up and down at the village chief and several villagers who followed him with a sharp gaze.

Just looking at the surface, you can't tell anything. The farmers' houses are very rough due to wind and sun.

Jiang Huaixu could only rely on the Futuan scan, and the results showed that several people had some illnesses, but they were all caused by years of hard work, such as frozen shoulder, lumbar muscle strain, rheumatism, etc. There were no infectious diseases.

While feeling relieved, she decided to persuade her uncle to choose a base farther away from the village.

So after Jiang Zhengmao finished negotiating with the people of Xiaoyang Village, Jiang Huaixu went to their house.

Before she could speak, Jiang Zhengmao waved his hand and said, "Xu girl, just tell me what you think. Uncle will believe you!"

Jiang Yao, who was passing by, heard what her father said and almost rolled her eyes to the sky. She didn't know what kind of magic potion Jiang Huaixu had fed her father, making him believe everything he said and not afraid that Jiang Huaixu would kill all one or two hundred of them one day!

Jiang Huaixu, who admired Jiang Zhengmao's behavior in his heart, smiled humbly, "Uncle, there are many of us, so it's better for us to rest at night farther away from the village to avoid conflicts with other refugees."

Jiang Zhengmao agreed without thinking.

She was so quick and efficient that even Jiang Huaixu felt a little ashamed. She didn't do anything excessive to the village chief, right?

With this question in mind, the group found an open place and stayed there.

After the tent was set up and Jiang Fu had prepared Qian Xiuzhu's medicine, Jiang Huaixu said to Qian Xiuzhu while she was drinking the medicine: "Mom, let's light a few more fires tonight and teach the villagers how to sew masks."

"Mask? What's that?"

Jiang Huaixu quietly took out a pure white mask from the space and stuffed it into Qian Xiuzhu's hand.

"Hang these two strings on your ears to prevent the plague."

Qian Xiuzhu was startled. "Plague? There's a plague here?"

"Be prepared, Mom. Little bugs can get in through your nose or mouth, but if you block them with a piece of cloth, won't that make it harder?"

This sentence was simple and easy to understand, and Qian Xiuzhu understood it immediately.

"Didn't you hear what Yun Qi said? Many people died in Zhangzhou City. If a body fell into the river, there's a chance of plague. It could also happen if someone gets bitten by rats or lice. Wearing a mask and boiling the water you use every day before drinking it will reduce the chances of the plague."

Qian Xiuzhu nodded thoughtfully, "I understand, Mom. After dinner, let's gather all the women in the village and make masks together."

She touched the mask Jiang Huaixu took out again and asked, "What material is the mask made of? It feels like cotton, but not quite."

"Just use cotton cloth and sew three...two layers." Jiang Huaixu was afraid that it would be too stuffy and people would feel suffocated.

"My family wears this mask. After putting on the mask, we put a layer of plain cloth on the outside to be safer."

Sometimes Qian Xiuzhu really didn't understand what her little girl said, but she guessed it was pretty close, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Mom knows."

After the mother and daughter finished talking, Zheng Li Niang had just prepared the food.
