Jiang Yulai and Jiang Erlang went out to call people over. Their niece/sister brought out so much water. They were not cold-blooded people, so they would naturally keep their promise and ask people from Jiangjia Village to fill the water.
However, Jiang Yulai still urged her to repeat what Mrs. Jiang said before they left several times.
That means she must leave some water in her little treasure box in case she runs out of water in the coming days.
Jiang Zhiyue had no choice but to tell them that there were still many buckets of water inside, which would be enough for them to use for a long time.
They had just gone out and not far away when they saw Jiang Yuchao and the four of them.
Jiang Dalang was the first to notice Jiang Yulai and Erlang. He stepped forward expectantly and asked, "Have you found the place?"
Seeing that only his third uncle and second brother came over, Jiang Dalang had some suspicions in his mind.
Jiang Erlang said happily: "I found it. We were planning to go back and call for help when we met you."
"Great, let's go back and call someone." Jiang Dalang said, dragging Jiang Erlang and walking in the direction he was going.
Chen Xiaoxia remembered what Jiang Dalang said about her oily hair just now, and just wanted to wash it quickly.
But she was worried that she wouldn't be able to use it when everyone came, so she wanted to go there now.
She asked: "Brother Jiang, where are Sister Zhiyue and the others? Why don't you go back to look for me and I will go find Sister Zhiyue first."
Because Chen Xiaoxia was asking about Jiang Dalang, but he had been with them just now. He didn't know where her sister and second uncle were, so she had to look at Erlang and ask.
Jiang Erlang pointed in one direction: "Keep going forward, and you will see a cave not far away. They are in the cave."
Chen Zhicai did not go with him. After all, he found the water source and had to go back to get the utensils to hold the water.
Jiang Yuchao and the others thought the same way, so they all went back.
When they returned, they found that most of the people who went out to look for water had returned.
They all looked downcast and couldn't find any water.
Jiang Dalang suddenly felt very happy that his sister was favored by the old god and gave her a treasure box that could transform into things.
And every time it was something they needed. What grandma said must be true. When my sister was born, magpies came to announce the good news. She was a blessing.
When everyone saw them coming back, they all looked at them.
Those who have just returned have not found water. They have been disappointed in their expectations again and again, and they are afraid of hearing the same answer again.
Only the Jiang family knew that since they came back, they must have found a place.
However, he still stepped forward and asked: "Have you found the water yet?"
"I found it, but the road over there is a bit steep and it's not convenient to drive there. Everyone, grab your things and follow us to fill the water." Jiang Dalang finished the words in one breath.
"Hey, okay, okay, brother, you all can go, we can just watch here." Old Mrs. Jiang said cheerfully.
In the end, even the younger Goro and Rokuro followed.
People from every household went out to fill the water, leaving only a few people looking around.
On the other side of the cave, Jiang Zhiyue thought that she hadn't taken a bath in such a long time.
Although taking a shower is still impractical now, you can wash your hair and face, and just wipe your arms.
It happened that there was a small pool the size of a washbasin not far from the large oval pit. Jiang Zhiyue took out three wooden ladles from the space.
Jiang Yuqing, who stayed behind, was not surprised to see his niece suddenly conjuring things.
After Jiang Zhiyue simply washed her face and hair, she heard footsteps coming from outside.
But the footsteps were very light, and it didn't sound like someone from the village was coming.
She looked at the entrance of the cave warily, and soon she saw Chen Xiaoxia coming in alone.
Chen Xiaoxia came in and greeted with a smile: "Uncle Jiang, Sister Zhiyue."
Jiang Zhiyue and Jiang Yuqing glanced at Chen Xiaoxia and said hello.
Chen Xiaoxia walked inside and saw so much water, her eyes lit up.
The family still had plenty of food, but not much water. Her mother always said she would leave some water for her nephew to drink, so she drank even less.
I just talked so much to Brother Jiang, and my mouth has long been dry.
So when you see water, grab a handful of water and drink it.
Jiang Zhiyue saw it and stopped it quickly.
They haven't washed their hands in such a long time, and they don't know how dirty they are, so they will have to fill them with water soon.
Although he said that he would not get sick if he did not eat cleanly, there was not much to pay attention to when escaping from the famine.
But...it's really too dirty.
Just now she even disliked herself, and now she saw Chen Xiaoxia's dark claws stretching into the water, and she couldn't agree even more.
She handed Chen Xiaoxia a water ladle and asked her to drink from it.
Chen Xiaoxia smiled gratefully and took it, then drank from the gourd until she was full.
Chen Xiaoxia sincerely praised: "Sister Zhiyue is so lucky to have found so much water. It seems that there will be no shortage of water for a long time."
Jiang Zhiyue saw that she was sincerely complimenting her, and was not pretending to be green tea like Jiang Zhilan, so she was not so repulsive and smiled and said a few words of modesty.
Jiang Zhiyue couldn't help but look at her twice. She didn't expect her brother to be such a cold person, but the girl looked pretty good.
Soon, Chen Xiaoxia and Jiang Yuqing also briefly freshened up.
Thinking that Chen Xiaoxia was also here, Jiang Zhiyue simply asked Jiang Yuqing to guard the entrance of the cave while the two girls briefly scrubbed the cave.
Jiang Zhiyue felt finally comfortable.
On the other side, Jiang Yulai led everyone to walk around for a while, and then they saw the cave just now.
The cave is so big that it can accommodate so many people when they come.
Seeing how much water there was, everyone's eyes burst with surprise.
When they first arrived, they didn't expect there to be so much water, and they wanted to grab as much water as possible.
Now that we see so much water, even if we don’t grab it, the containers brought by each family can be filled to the brim.
Jiang Zhiyue was afraid that they would contaminate the water by grabbing it, so she organized them to line up and fill the water with ladles one by one.
Seeing so much water, they finally didn't fight and lined up honestly.
However, everyone had smiles on their faces, and those who usually liked to take advantage and argue did not start to look for trouble.
There were many people who thanked Jiang Zhiyue and the others, whether they were sincere or mean, it was rare that they did not say anything unpleasant.
The Jiang family all accepted it with peace of mind, after all, the water was really thanks to their eucalyptus.
Many people carry water downstairs after fetching it, and then come back to fill it again, fearing that they won’t be able to lift it for a while.
After each house filled the water, there was still some water left in it. Jiang Zhiyue suggested that they take the water out and put it in the small pool just now for a simple scrubbing.
Some people wanted to go directly into the big pit to wash themselves, but Jiang Zhiyue sternly refused.
Although they were a little unconvinced, she found the water and didn't say anything in the end.
After solving the water problem, the Jiang family did not leave in a hurry, but stayed where they were.
Jiang Hengrong glanced sideways at the Jiang family and sat down as well.
Knowing that there were robbers in front of them, they seemed to have a large group of people, but few of them dared to fight against the robbers.
That's why he won't leave the Jiang family now.
And he hasn't given up the idea of letting Jiang Jia return to the team.
Not far away, the Jiang family was discussing the matter of the robbers.
"Girl, we have also found water. Should we go back and take that path now?" Wang Fengshou asked.
He had already noticed these days that his aunt's family would always ask Zhiyue girl about any big or small matter.
Moreover, Zhiyue girl is really powerful and has ideas in her heart.
Jiang Zhiyue said: "Don't leave in a hurry. We are all tired after driving for so long. Let's rest here for a day before leaving."
After that, he whispered: "I'm going to check on the robbers tonight."
"No, it's too dangerous!"
Jiang Zhiyue was rejected by everyone as soon as she finished speaking.
"That's the bandits' den. I don't know how many people are there. If you still want to go there at night, what if something happens?"
Others also agreed, and they had a little blood on their hands.
But those were unorganized refugees, and even the robbers we encountered today were only a few.
The robbers who were stuck here had done countless evil things and had a lot of lives on their hands. Everyone secretly thought that they could just hide away if they were not right.
"I will be more careful and I will explore the situation." Jiang Zhiyue said decisively.
Everyone saw that she had made up her mind and knew that she would definitely go. If they didn't agree, she might even avoid them and leave secretly, so they didn't try to persuade her anymore and just told her to be careful.
Night falls.
In these days, it is rare for everyone to feel as comfortable as today.
We bought food, found water, and rested for most of the day.
Just thinking about the money spent on buying food makes me feel sad.
As usual, arrange for good people to keep vigil while others go to rest.
Perhaps because they were in the mountains, the heat in the summer had also weakened, and it was rare for everyone to have a peaceful sleep.
None of them saw it. After everyone had rested, a figure from the Jiang family quietly left and walked down the mountain.
That person was Jiang Zhiyue, and she planned to go find out the situation now.
Under the cover of the night, Jiang Zhiyue soon arrived at the place she passed by in the morning.
The bodies of those people on the ground have disappeared, and faint traces of dragging can be seen on the ground.
Jiang Zhiyue's expression was condensed, and she walked over looking for the faint drag marks on the ground.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhiyue heard a voice coming from her, causing her to stop suddenly and hide carefully.
A voice came: "The brothers who arrested someone today are really lucky. If I had known earlier, I would have gone out with them."
Another person obviously disagreed with his statement and retorted: "Lucky? Didn't eight of the brothers who went out today die? I think it's better to guard the gate here. It's safe and someone will bring food back to eat."
Jiang Zhiyue listened to their conversation and obtained part of the information. The eight people the man mentioned should be the robbers they met.
"Hey, I'm not talking about the eight of them. That group of losers didn't even catch a few of them, and now they will become food for the brothers.
I'm talking about the brothers who blocked people on another trail. They arrested a lot of people today and brought back a lot of food.
