Second Grandpa pondered and nodded. "That's true, Zhengmao. Tell me what you think?"
"Uncle, how could I not know?" Jiang Zhengmao scratched his head in annoyance. "Haven't you heard that the further you go, the worse the drought gets? We're not even halfway there yet, and we have no idea what the situation is like in Chongming Prefecture. We're completely in the dark!"
"The situation is good now. When the food and wild vegetables are gone and people are so hungry that they have to eat tree bark, cannibalism will happen. By then, with so many people and cars, we will definitely be popular in the eyes of refugees. If we are not careful and someone takes advantage of us, many people will take advantage of the opportunity and rush in. Then we will all die."
Jiang Zhengmao didn't say anything else, his meaning was already very clear.
Either you put your head down and fight the bandits, then the road ahead will be much easier. Or you stay alert at all times and fight with the refugees who are eyeing you covetously, and it's best not to make a wrong step.
The former may not end well, and the latter is really time-consuming. The results of both choices are unknown.
Everyone was silent.
It's time to make a choice again. No one wants to take that step and bear the responsibility of so many lives.
Jiang Huaixu watched silently, without saying a word. If no one had mentioned it at this time, it would have been considered impolite for her, as a junior, to speak up.
In fact, even without these people, she could have wiped out the bandit's nest. After all, the technological gap was there, but she just couldn't say it out loud.
In the silence, Boss Jiang spoke up, "Tens of thousands of refugees and hundreds of bandits, which one should I choose?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people who wanted to take the official route began to waver.
Isn’t it obvious which side has more people and which side has fewer people?
The number of bandits is definitely not as large as that of refugees. If their number is small, they can still resist for a while. Just like what happened during the day, once the refugees rushed in, there was nothing they could do and they were all finished!
Someone retorted, "How can refugees be compared to bandits? Bandits live on the edge of a knife, and have taken countless lives. Refugees won't resort to cannibalism unless they're forced into a desperate situation."
"When they start to eat people, they almost go crazy. How can you handle so many crazy people?"
······
Everyone was arguing.
Jiang Zhengmao didn't care. He just wanted to let them argue, as long as they didn't fight. Maybe they could even come to a conclusion.
He calmly moved to Jiang Huaixu's side and said, "Xu girl, what do you think?"
"I want to rob the bandits." Jiang Huaixu said shockingly.
After hearing Yun Qi say that the bandits in the valley had been entrenched in that area for many years, she really wanted to rob the bandits.
There's nothing wrong with robbing the rich and helping the poor villagers.
"Robbery!" Jiang Zhengmao gasped, his eyes widening for a moment, "Girl, are you crazy?!"
Jiang Huaixu said seriously: "Everyone should have dreams. What's the difference between a life without dreams and a salted fish?"
"What nonsense? Speak properly." Jiang Zhengmao patted Jiang Huaixu's head gently.
Jiang Huaixu winked at Jiang Zhengmao without any respect. Knowing that she was short, Jiang Zhengmao didn't get angry and bent down to listen to her.
"Uncle Village Chief, we have Yun Qi!"
Jiang Zhengmao stood up and looked at Jiang Huaixu. Suddenly he thought of something and his worry turned into joy.
"Yes, yes, why didn't I think of that? Yun Qi walked through that valley, and since he's fine, he must have used some method."
Jiang Huaixu didn't explain it in detail, but just smiled at him.
Jiang Zhengmao felt a little uneasy at her laughter and couldn't help asking, "Does Yun Qi have any ideas?"
"Yes, we do, but we shouldn't completely rely on others, right? Uncle Village Chief, self-reliance is the long-term solution. We still need to practice archery. My second brother, Yun Qi, and the others need to select some people and teach them some self-defense skills. This matter cannot be delayed."
"That makes sense." Jiang Zhengmao clapped his hands. "Leave the rest to your uncle. I guarantee I'll convince them."
After saying that, he joined the quarreling, oh no, discussing, crowd with high morale.
Jiang Huaixu looked at his back, turned around and left with satisfaction.
"Huh?"
When he turned around, he almost bumped into Yun Qi.
"What are you doing..." Jiang Huaixu was about to complain, but he found that Yun Qi's eyes were full of meaning.
Yun Qi asked quietly, "Push me out again?"
"This is not a hassle... I was wrong, I'm sorry."
After saying that, Jiang Huaixu turned around and left.
It's just that flexible.
Zheng Li'niang had already laid out the bedding in the tent. Jiang Huaixu rolled into the innermost part, closed his eyes, and his consciousness sank into the planting space.
The crops planted in the previous wave have all matured and have been harvested by the planting robot - Fubao, which has been working hard day and night.
Fubao is the name Futuan gave to the planting robot. Seeing that Futuan was calling it that easily, Jiang Huaixu followed suit.
After the crops were processed by Fubao, they were placed in piles in the planting space. Jiang Huaixu was originally worried that these crops would be affected by the speed of time, but Futuan said that the speed of time only affects the planted seeds. Jiang Huaixu didn't want to move them anymore because the storage space was too small to accommodate them.
As the number of things in the space increased, Fu Tuan, who had obsessive-compulsive disorder, became a hard-working little bee, helping her to arrange the things in the space neatly, which looked very pleasing to the eye.
Now Fubao is planting the next round of sweet potatoes, and Futuan follows Fubao to pick up the sweet potatoes that Fubao just dropped and then eats them in one bite.
Fubao noticed something was wrong, so he moved back to continue planting, and Futuan continued to eat...
[Are you sick?] Jiang Huaixu couldn't help but complain.
When Futuan saw that his bullying of Fubao was exposed, his honest and round little panda face instantly became serious.
[Host, how could you disturb the happy time between me and Fubao? ]
【Only Fubao can't speak, otherwise your parents would be dead.】
Futuan raised his chin proudly, "I was born without parents, so I don't care!"
Jiang Huaixu was curious, [Did you pop out from a crack in the rock?]
【In my world, creatures like me are born this way.】
Jiang Huaixu didn't ask any further questions and said to Fu Tuan, "Let me tell you something. Can you turn into a cat or a dog and follow me?"
Fu Tuan's round eyes widened instantly, and he asked in disbelief: [Host! You've changed! Don't you want me to be exposed?]
Normal cats and dogs don't have wings. Jiang Huaixu said, "As long as you don't show your wings, others won't be able to tell you're abnormal."
Fu Tuan was even more shocked: [This dumpling has an outstanding temperament and fluffy fur, unparalleled in the world, how could stupid humans not see it?!]
After saying that, it looked at Jiang Huaixu with suspicion, "You don't want me to be your mount, do you?"
Jiang Huaixu was speechless. [You're so big, I'd be doing a disservice to my physique if I didn't squash you.]
[I just like small ones, but they are not really small! ]
Now it was Jiang Huaixu's turn to be shocked. [Can you get bigger?]
