Jiang Huaixu also picked up a piece to taste. The sugar color was fried slightly bitter, and the heat was not well controlled. The fishy smell of wild boar meat was too strong, and even so many spices could not cover it up completely. However, since it was her first time making it, she was very satisfied.
A bowl of braised pork was eaten up by everyone before it was time for dinner. Jiang Huaixu felt a subtle sense of satisfaction in her heart, but her appetite was a little smaller after the meal, so she didn't enjoy the dinner very much.
Before falling asleep, Jiang Huaixu sank his consciousness into the space. After fiddling with the tool man for a while, he looked at Fubao's situation. The crops planted for the first time had all been harvested. The corn stalks, sweet potato vines, etc. were chopped up by Fubao and scattered on the ground in the space. The magical thing was that after being scattered, they disappeared like seeds, just like fertilizer.
In the second round, she found some vegetables to plant. It was rare to eat green leafy vegetables in winter, so if she couldn't finish eating them at home, she could stockpile them and sell them in Chongming Prefecture for a good price.
After looking around, Jiang Huaixu fell asleep.
In the following days, the group hurried on their journey, walking from dawn to dusk every day. Seeing that the villagers were exhausted every day, Jiang Huaixu suggested to Jiang Zhengmao that they eat three meals each time so that the villagers would have enough physical strength.
Jiang Zhengmao agreed as soon as he heard it. The bandits' food alone was enough for them to get to Chongming Prefecture. It would be a waste if they were exhausted after such a long journey through mountains and rivers.
It took them seven or eight days to get out of the forest, and Jiang Huaixu's points were approaching four million.
During this time, Shi Tao and his wife's child, Shi Xiaoxing, also managed to wake up. Although his foot injury had not healed, he did not cry much.
The further they went, the more desolate the scenery became, and everyone became more and more worried. On the night before leaving the forest, the villagers took out all the water containers and filled them up with water, for fear that they would have difficulty finding water after leaving.
After leaving the forest and walking for another two days, the villagers saw the first village they had seen in these days.
Having been cut off from the news for too long, Jiang Zhengmao decided to go to the village to find out some news.
The convoy stopped at the entrance of the village, and he called his eldest son Jiang Miao and Jiang Dalang and went there.
The rest of the people waited where they were, sitting or lying down, taking time to rest.
Some villagers passed by and saw so many of them. Some of them looked around curiously, some stared at their carriage with envy, and more people stayed away with expressions of fear on their faces.
Soon Jiang Zhengmao and two other people came out, and the villagers gathered around to ask what was going on.
Jiang Zhengmao briefly explained that there was only one well in the entire village that still had water, and the other wells and rivers had dried up. When the villagers heard that there was water in the forest when they came here, they were not very excited, which made them a little strange.
They also asked whether any refugees had passed by recently. The villagers just said that the village was remote and few outsiders passed by.
Jiang Huaixu listened to these words, and most of his attention was attracted by the two sneaky people scanned by Futuan.
[Host, these two people have been following us since we reached the edge of the village, and they've been stealing glances at the things loaded on the car.]
Jiang Huaixu grabbed Fu Tuan's furry ears and looked at the two people on the screen. "These two look like thieves. They must be trying to take advantage of the situation. The carriage is well guarded, so they can't succeed. If they continue to follow us after we leave this village, it won't be too late to deal with them later."
The two men with thief-like looks slipped away after Jiang Huaixu and his group set off again. Jiang Huaixu no longer took them seriously.
At that time, she didn't expect that these two people could cause such a big commotion.
At night, the group set up camp at the foot of a small hill sheltered from the wind. The villagers, tired after a day of work, simply filled their stomachs and quickly fell asleep.
It's getting colder day by day, especially at night. Fortunately, there are more than a hundred bandits in the mountain, and Jiang Zhengmao didn't even let go of their bedding. He distributed some to each family, so it wasn't very cold after they huddled together.
On a dark and windy night, it is time for murder and arson.
Just as everyone fell into a deep sleep, many figures moved quickly towards the hillside in the darkness.
In the dark night, Jiang Huaixu suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, Jiang Erlang and Yun Qi also opened their eyes.
"Someone is attacking, everyone wake up!!"
The night watchman realized it belatedly and started shouting. The villagers who were still sleeping were still a little confused. After hearing the content of his shouting, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Children react faster than adults.
"Grab your bows and arrows! Brothers and sisters, we have work to do!"
Some of the boys were quite excited and shouted that they wanted to "do something big."
Jiang Huaixu took out his crossbow, bent down to pick up a small stone, flicked his finger, and hit Zheng Yuan, who was shouting the loudest, on the head.
Zheng Yuan covered his head and looked over with an unfriendly expression. When he saw that it was Jiang Huaixu, he shrank his neck and turned back.
"Line up!" Jiang Erlang shouted, and the young men immediately lined up facing the direction of the enemy and waited quietly for the enemy's arrival.
The movement seemed to be noticed by the newcomers, and their originally firm steps gradually became hesitant. After a while, they ran towards the hillside again.
“Charge!”
"Kill them and we won't have to starve!!"
“Kill them!”
Following roars, a group of people dressed as villagers appeared in front of everyone, holding various weapons.
Jiang Zhengmao recognized that they were from the village they had passed today, so he began to persuade them, "We have bows and arrows. You are only seeking death by coming here. We urge you to leave as soon as possible, rather than losing your life in vain."
"In this world, if you don't rob, you'll die! The drought has lasted for so long, and we've paid taxes, leaving us with nothing at home. You have so much food, but you haven't shown any kindness to help us. What's the point of saying this now?!"
