Soon Jiang Huaixu had no time to care about Boss Meng and his group. After leaving Huai'an Prefecture, the next provincial capital was Jinzhao Prefecture. For some reason, the number of refugees along the way was increasing, and most of them were exhausted, but they still insisted on moving forward.
After asking, I found out that it was the Nanxia people who attacked. Along the way, that group of people burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil.
Now the Nanxia people are still in Huai'an Prefecture, and no one knows when they will attack Jinzhao Prefecture. Therefore, those who can escape from Huai'an Prefecture all flock to Jinzhao Prefecture, traveling day and night, and actually caught up with them.
When there are more people, there are more things to do.
Fortunately, the men and teenagers in their team all had bows and arrows, and they would arrange people to keep watch at night. Therefore, even if someone wanted to attack their team, they would give up the idea after observing them for a day or two.
In order not to attract attention, Jiang Huaixu no longer taught Jiang Erlang martial arts every day. He only forced Jiang Wei and others to learn a few words every day and tested them the next day.
She spent the rest of the time having Futuan scan the people or teams near the team.
A quick glance allowed her to discover a lot of things. Most of these people were ordinary people, except for Boss Meng and his group and a wealthy family.
This family had a carriage, guards and even servants, but they walked very slowly, just behind their team. I don't know if they realized that they were not easy to deal with or they were disdainful of interacting with them, but they didn't communicate with them along the way. Compared with the others who were dusty and disheveled, these people were like people on a picnic.
They were the most eye-catching along the way.
Not only that, Jiang Huaixu also learned why Boss Meng and his group were weird. Except for Boss Meng and his dozen or so younger brothers, the rest of the men, women, and children were refugees they captured. All the food they carried with them was taken away by Boss Meng. In order to survive, the men had to find some wild vegetables to fill their stomachs, and the rest of the women and children were kept hostage.
Jiang Huaixu had heard of such things. If they were to reach a dead end with no food left, these people might become their food.
That night they walked until it was completely dark before they heard Village Chief Jiang knock on the gong and shout "Rest where you are."
The villagers, who had long been accustomed to walking forty or fifty miles every day, no longer complained as soon as they stopped, as they did before. Except for the younger children who were still crying, the rest of the people started setting up pots and preparing food as soon as they stopped.
Jiang Huaixu walked to the pot where his sister-in-law was cooking, lifted the lid and took a look. Oh, there were wild vegetable cakes and wild vegetable soup.
The wild vegetable soup, which originally had an egg in it, now has no egg at all.
There was not much dried wolf meat left, so for future considerations, Qian Xiuzhu asked Jiang Huaixu to put the dried meat into the space.
She was already starving, but when she saw the food, she found it hard to eat.
"What's wrong? Are you hungry?" Zheng Li'niang asked when she saw Jiang Huaixu staring at the wild vegetable pancakes in a daze.
"Sister-in-law, let me see if there's anything to eat nearby."
The crops in the planting space are growing well, and it is almost time to harvest the potatoes and peanuts. She asked the planting robot to dig them out and see how they are.
Zheng Li Niang looked at the dark surroundings and felt uneasy. "It's so dark, let's not go. There are quite a few people ahead of us. Maybe they've even dug up the wild vegetables."
"Sister-in-law, I'm very lucky, just let me go!" Jiang Huaixu shook Zheng Li Niang's arm and said coquettishly, "The food isn't ready yet, so I'll go with my second brother and be back soon."
Zheng Li'niang was dizzy from being shaken by her, so she had to look at her mother-in-law who was coming towards her for help.
"With Jilang by her side, nothing will happen. Let her go."
Jiang Huaixu smiled at Qian Xiuzhu, picked up the small backpack, called Jiang Erlang and left.
The two of them walked to a place far away from the crowd in tacit understanding before speaking.
"Brother, let's go a little further. What I'm going to take out later is planted in the soil. Let's find a small area and turn the soil over. Even if others see it, they won't be able to find anything."
"Okay." After agreeing, Jiang Erlang asked again, "Are these the sweet potatoes and potatoes from before? The villagers have seen these two things before, but only our family found them, which might arouse suspicion."
Jiang Huaixu thought about it and it made sense.
"Then I'll get something else."
The two men walked to the edge of a deep ditch. Jiang Huaixu stuck his head in to look and found that there was no water, only some weeds growing there.
"It's far away from the crowd, so let's just stay here."
As she said this, she squatted down, pressed the ground with one hand, and jumped into the deep ditch.
"Slow down, don't get hurt."
Stepping on the soft ground, Jiang Huaixu clapped his hands and looked up at Jiang Erlang, "I'm fine, second brother, don't come down, help me keep watch from up there."
Jiang Erlang paused, feeling somewhat annoyed that he had not brought a torch with him, so that he could have seen the situation at the bottom of the ditch more clearly.
Jiang Huaixu at the bottom of the ditch had already started moving. She took out all the peanut vines with peanuts pulled out by the planting robot, picked the peanuts and put them into her backpack.
The peanuts planted in the planting space are both abundant and plump, and look particularly pleasing. Although they are still a little tender, the tender peanuts do not need to be peeled and can be cooked directly in the shell. Just add some salt to make salted peanuts. They are tender and fragrant when eaten, and are best eaten with wine.
As she was thinking, she peeled a peanut, not caring about the dirt on her hands, blew it lightly and put it into her mouth. The food she hadn't tasted for a long time tasted delicious again.
After picking half a basket of peanuts, Jiang Huaixu felt that it was enough. She took out a small hoe, chose a piece of land nearby and started to hoe it casually, then kicked the peanut vines apart with her feet.
After making a good disguise, she put on the backpack and stretched out her hand to Jiang Erlang, "Okay, second brother, pull me up."
With the help of Jiang Erlang, Jiang Huaixu climbed out from the bottom of the ditch without any effort.
