Chapter 52: How dare you come out and do bad things like this?
Chapter 52 How dare you come out and do bad things?
Jiang Zhiyue thought of what her third uncle had just said, and the porridge provided by the rich households in the city was getting thinner and thinner.
This shows that the food in the city is not inexhaustible.
There are more and more people outside the city who still want to live off the rich households in the city, which is not a long-term solution.
If the refugees outside the city break out, Dashan County will become like their county seat.
So Jiang Zhiyue said: "Grandma, we have enough money, but let's discuss it and decide whether to enter the city or not."
"What, not going into the city?" Old Mrs. Jiang said in surprise.
However, she knew that Jiang Zhiyue always had her own ideas, so she said, "Okay, let's discuss it later."
The two of them returned to the crowd.
When Mr. Jiang saw Jiang Zhiyue coming back, he asked, "What do Zhiyue think? Do you think it's okay for us to go to the city?"
Jiang Zhiyue looked around the crowd and then said what she had just thought.
Finally, she added: "It is not safe to gather so many refugees outside the city, and there are a lot of dead bodies on the way we came. If no one takes care of them for a long time, it is easy for the plague to occur. Let's continue going south."
What Jiang Zhiyue said was indeed pertinent, and Mr. Jiang did not refute it. The others also listened quietly, thinking that what she said made sense.
Mr. Jiang looked at Jiang Yuchao and asked, "Boss, look where we can go around if we don't enter the city."
Jiang Yuchao took out the topographic map from his bag and spread it on the ground.
It was already dark at this time, and no one dared to use the electric lamps given by Jiang Zhiyue here, so they lit a few oil lamps for lighting.
Everyone gathered around, even Ouyang Ming and Bai Yifeng came closer to take a look.
This was the first time Ouyang Ming saw the terrain map they brought with them. It was not as detailed as the ones in the army, but it was OK.
Jiang Yuchao said: "If you want to get around this city, there are only two ways. To go east, you need to climb over the mountain. To the west is a large forest with a wide area."
Everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction Jiang Yuchao was pointing. Even though it was already dark, they could still see the faint and towering peaks.
There are wolves and wild animals on the mountain, so you can imagine how dangerous it will be.
So everyone chose to go to the west jungle without hesitation.
"We are driving both an ox cart and a flatbed cart. It will definitely be troublesome to cross the mountain. Let's go through the woods."
Ouyang Ming thought for a while, but couldn't find any record of that forest in his memory.
He turned to look at Jiang Zhiyue and asked, "Where do you think Zhiyue should go?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Zhiyue, waiting for her decision.
Jiang Zhiyue: "..." Why are you watching what I do?
She took out a copper plate and tossed it in her hand: "Walking through the woods on the front side, over the mountains on the back side."
After saying that, he threw the copper plate out. The copper plate flipped several times and finally fell into Jiang Zhiyue's hands.
Jiang Zhiyue opened her hands with her palms facing up. Everyone looked over and saw that the copper plate was facing up. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Zhiyue said: "But we still have to go to the city to replenish some medicinal materials and the like."
"There must be a lot of snakes, rats, insects and ants in the forest. I'll buy some insect repellent powder tomorrow and add some other things along the way."
Jiang Zhiyue would never say that she was greedy. Although there were many things in the space, she couldn't use them without any worries.
But when she goes to town tomorrow, she will have an excuse to get things out of the space.
After making the decision, the big stone in everyone's mind has finally fallen to the ground.
Because there were nearly a thousand refugees not far away, the Jiang family did not want to cause any trouble, so they did not light a fire to cook.
I still eat fried pancakes with my favorite sauce, and drink some water from each water bag, and dinner is over.
But even so, it is much better than many people outside the city gate.
Because I was worried that something might happen at night, I arranged for a few more people to keep vigil before going to bed. There were four people at each vigil.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Zhiyue, Ouyang Ming, Jiang Yuchao, and Jiang Yuqing stayed vigil together.
The surroundings were quiet except for the voices of Ouyang Ming and Jiang Zhiyue talking in low voices from time to time.
A few people who were lying outside the city gate quietly stood up and walked towards the Jiang family and the others.
"Wang Mazi, if you make any money from this business, I have to get a share of it." A thin man with triangular eyes said in a low voice.
And another man named Wang Mazi said irritably: "I know, you will benefit from following me well from now on."
The man with triangular eyes rubbed his hands and asked, "I see that these boys who came here today sell more water than you did in the past few days. Can you make more money?"
Wang Mazi glanced sideways at the man with triangular eyes and replied unhappily: "No matter how much it is, you can only get 30%, otherwise there will be many people willing to follow me."
"Hehe, what you said is, 30% makes 30%." The man with triangular eyes was not reluctant at all, but said happily.
The two of them continued to sneak towards Jiang's house.
And their target is not the Jiang family's food, but the Jiang family's children.
Wang Mazi would look for good-looking boys outside the city, and people from the city would come out to take over with them early the next morning.
The people in the city gave grain to Wang Mazi, and Wang Mazi gave the children captured at night to those people.
There are people in the city who come out every day to exchange grain for children with these people outside. A baby girl can be exchanged for half a bag of grain, and these people are also willing.
However, these people are willing to exchange their girls for food, but the boys are not willing to do so.
But the people in the flower houses in the city also have a demand for beautiful boys, and these people are not willing to sell their sons, so they came up with this method.
Wang Mazi scouted out good people in advance during the day, stole the child away at night, and gave it to those people in exchange for food the next morning.
Today is their second time doing this, and they didn’t expect to meet such good guys.
When the Jiang family's team came today, they happened to be at the back of the crowd. They saw these children at a glance and thought they would definitely get a good price.
So the one child that was originally expected to be favored was replaced by Wulang and Liulang, the youngest children from the Jiang family.
When the triangular-eyed man and Wang Mazi came this way, the four people on guard discovered them.
At first I thought they were trying to steal food, so I wasn't that angry. But when they got closer and heard what they said, I became even more furious.
Boy? Sell it? Make more money?
It seemed that they wanted to steal some of the Jiang children and sell them.
Just when Jiang Yuchao and Jiang Yuqing couldn't hold back and wanted to stand up and beat them up, Jiang Zhiyue stopped them.
She and Ouyang Ming looked at each other and whispered: "Do it or not to eliminate harm for the people."
"Fuck, let's go!" Ouyang Ming nodded tacitly, and after the two looked at each other, they quietly stood up and walked around behind the two people.
The two of them struck quickly, almost at the same moment, and a hand blade knocked out the two people who sneaked over.
The man with triangular eyes and Wang Mazi, who had sneaked over, didn't even react, and were knocked unconscious by the two men who sneaked up from behind.
The two of them were about to fall down as soon as their bodies went limp. Jiang Zhiyue was about to catch one of them.
Ouyang Ming felt disgusted and held someone up by his collar with one hand.
He glanced at Jiang Zhiyue and wanted to ask her how she planned to deal with it.
Jiang Zhiyue turned to her father and second uncle who were looking over and whispered: "Dad, second uncle, you guys stay here for now while we deal with these two people."
Jiang Yuchao and Jiang Yuqing nodded and let them go.
Jiang Zhiyue wanted to help Ouyang Ming carry someone, but he avoided her.
She looked at Ouyang Ming doubtfully, and Ouyang Ming explained: "I can do it alone."
But when he looked at the two people he was carrying, his eyes were filled with disgust.
Jiang Zhiyue and Ouyang Ming, who was dragging the two of them, walked towards the north and did not stop until no one on the other side could hear any noise.
Ouyang Ming threw the person to the ground, looked up at Jiang Zhiyue and asked, "What are Zhiyue going to do with the two of them?"
Jiang Zhiyue looked at the two people lying on the ground with cold eyes and decided to target them. She was not so kind-hearted to let them go.
"Teach them a lesson and let them fend for themselves."
Of course what Jiang Zhiyue said about self-destruction was to teach them a lesson and then strangle them before leaving.
But Ouyang Ming didn't know, he just felt that she was still too soft-hearted.
He raised his hand and rubbed her head, smiling and saying, "Zhiyue is kind-hearted."
Jiang Zhiyue: "..." Kindhearted? Are you okay?
However, Jiang Zhiyue didn't intend to explain, and said with some embarrassment: "Ahem, let's wake them up first."
As he said that, he raised his foot and kicked the man a few times.
Ouyang Ming was more direct. He took out a dagger from his body and stabbed someone in the thigh.
"Ahhhh!!!"
"Ahhhh!!!"
Two screams sounded at the same time, accompanied by a clear clicking sound. It was Jiang Zhiyue who kicked one of the people's bones directly.
As soon as Wang Mazi and the man with triangular eyes opened their eyes, they saw two faces facing them above, and they were so frightened that they screamed.
Jiang Zhiyue looked extremely disgusted: "Tsk, how dare you come out and do bad things with this courage."
Ouyang Ming silently wrote down: Zhiyue doesn't like timid people.
Wang Mazi and the man with triangular eyes calmed down after hearing the voice.
They asked in horror: "You, who are you?"
Didn't they just plan to steal the child from the new family?
Why did two people suddenly appear here?
Could it be that you are dreaming?
But the severe pain in their bodies clearly reminded them that all this was really happening.
Jiang Zhiyue said deliberately: "Someone said that he wants to taste human flesh. He said that if you hand you over to him, you will get two bags of food."
Then he looked up at Ouyang Ming and asked, "Do you think it's better to chop it into pieces and then hand it over to that person, or just keep it alive?"
"Chop it into pieces." Ouyang Ming's deep voice sounded.
Their voices became particularly scary in the ears of the two men lying on the ground.
