"Our mother just knocked on the door. Did he make any move at first? Everyone in the village has seen what's happened to the Sun family these days. Everyone is praising Sun San for being filial. Sun Da and Sun Er didn't go up the mountain with them. Sun Si and Sun Wu are useless and don't care about anything. Sun San should show more in front of the two elders so that he can get a bigger share when the family is divided."
Jiang Wei felt dizzy, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"Second cousin, is he a bad guy?" Jiang Fu asked with blinking eyes.
"He's a little scheming, selfish at best, but he's not a bad person at all," Jiang Wei retorted. "His parents treated him so badly, yet he's still filial to them. He's a good person!"
Jiang Fu nodded ignorantly.
Jiang Huaixu shook his head. "People are complicated, not black and white. He's someone who values profit. The Sun family elders must be aware of this. Have Sun San's parents been kind to him these days?"
“…It seems not.”
Instead, it got worse, as all the work was left to Sun San and his wife.
"The result is that Sun San and his wife have earned a reputation for filial piety, while his parents' reputation has become even worse," Jiang Huaixu whispered. "If you think about it more deeply, his parents are only treating their own family members harshly, and it doesn't affect others. If his parents were bullies who were rampant in the village and bullied the villagers, then Sun San's filial piety would be aiding and abetting the evil."
Finally, she concluded, "Only people as sensible as our parents should be filial. If you blindly show filial piety to your parents without kindness, you will suffer the consequences. This family will surely have a very lively time when the family splits up."
Jiang Wei and Jiang Fu were stunned by these words. They had been taught to be filial to their parents and respect their elders since they were young. They had never heard of words like "filial piety is aiding and abetting evil".
"Little sister, you can't tell this to anyone else, do you hear me?" Jiang Wei held on to Jiang Huaixu's sleeve tightly, her eyes still looking around.
Jiang Fu, however, seemed to be thinking deeply after hearing this. "Second cousin, I think what you said makes a lot of sense."
Jiang Huaixu nodded, "I think so too."
After saying that, he patted Jiang Wei's hand soothingly and said, "Sister, use your brain and think carefully. Don't always say this is good or that is good. Otherwise, you will be cheated and have to help others count the copper coins."
Jiang Wei was so angry that she ran away.
"Cousin..." Jiang Fu looked at Jiang Wei who was running away with a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry, she'll forget it in a while."
Jiang Huaixu also wanted to take advantage of this incident to make Jiang Wei more cautious, otherwise she was really worried that her sister would be kidnapped one day.
The exit passage had been half dug, and after checking the injuries of several people, she found that the air in the cave seemed to be getting more turbid. She squatted for a while and then stood up suddenly, her brain was a little lacking in oxygen.
Looking at the others, they all had varying degrees of fatigue on their faces.
Oxygen is available in the Star Mall, but it is not applicable. Releasing it directly will only increase the air pressure in the cave.
After searching around, Jiang Huaixu discovered a plant from the interstellar world called Cuiyi Teng. This plant can absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen in a short period of time. The bad thing is that you have to grasp the time well. If it is left in the air for too long, the oxygen content in the air will be too high, which will cause people to suffer from "oxygen intoxication" symptoms.
She spent 160,000 points to buy a pot of Green Ivy. She walked to a dark and deserted corner and took the Green Ivy out of the space.
The dark green vine twisted its slender body in the space as if stretching. The moment it was placed on the ground, it immediately grew wildly along the wall of the cave, and soon completely covered the cave wall in front of Jiang Huaixu.
Fortunately, the fire was dim and the busy people would not easily notice it.
Fu Tuan reported the oxygen content in the cave in real time. When it was almost enough, Jiang Huaixu put the Cui Yi vine into the space.
Everyone continued digging the hole unconsciously.
After treating everyone's wounds, Jiang Huaixu did a quick count and found a total of three dead and eighteen injured.
Not only that, the cows and mules tied at the door were also wiped out.
The losses were heavy.
Two or three hours have passed since the mudslide occurred. It must be bright outside, but everyone's minds are tense because of the sudden change and they dare not relax for a moment.
After digging for another two hours, they finally dug out a passage that was only wide enough for one person to walk through.
The old men, women and children took all the luggage they could carry with them, and left the things they couldn't carry with them in the cave. After they were ready, they lined up and walked out of the cave.
As for the young men who dug the hole, they stayed in the hole and hastily buried the bodies of the three dead people before leaving.
It was still raining outside the cave, but it was just a light rain.
"Finally I'm out. I couldn't breathe in there." Jiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Sanlang wiped the rain from his face. The young man, who had never known what worry was, frowned. "The rain hasn't stopped yet. The village is flooded. It will be terrible if we can't find a place to stay at night. There may be wild animals in the woods..."
"Third brother, please stop talking. My heart is so cold."
Jiang Wei covered her chest and looked extremely uncomfortable.
"Speak properly. Where did you learn such nonsense?" Qian Xiuzhu patted Jiang Wei's forehead.
Jiang Wei covered her forehead in disbelief, "I learned that from my younger sister!"
"what ever!"
Jiang Wei:...
Jiang Huaixu watched silently without saying anything.
After everyone came out of the cave, the village chief led the villagers to bow three times in front of the cave entrance.
After going through so much trouble, we finally managed to save our lives. Although the death of others has affected everyone's emotions to a certain extent, we also know that the road ahead is long. In order to survive and for the future, we still have to look forward.
