He cried heartbrokenly, attracting everyone's attention. Everyone felt guilty when they heard what he said about the treasure gourd being broken and being drained.
Especially the people of Dongchen Village, they all know that the gourds grown by the Jiang family are extraordinary, but this is the first time they have seen one that can consistently produce water.
But for such a treasure gourd to be broken, it would be painful for anyone to leave it alone.
Those who still wanted to ask for water silently put away their pottery bowls, too embarrassed to speak again.
Jiang Wu was woken up, rubbed his eyes and sat up. Seeing his second cousin holding the gourd and crying sadly, he got up and comforted him, "Second brother, don't cry. Even if the gourd is dead, Xiao Wu will still play with you."
Jiang Quan:……
He hugged the gourd and cried even more sadly.
The first thing Yingbao did when she got up early in the morning was to check Chen Sanyou's pulse and give him an acupuncture, and then go to check on Chen Boyuan's condition.
Later, as his second cousin cried, he reported the pulse condition he diagnosed to Mrs. Wen Xiao Zhenniang.
Xiao Zhenniang patiently answered her questions and told her to record the details of Chen Sanyou and Chen Boyuan's cases when she went back, so that she could compare them with similar patients later.
As soon as noon arrived, there were still no bandits at the foot of the mountain, and many people asked to go down the cliff.
After discussing with Patriarch Chen, Jiang Dahu decided to let two people go down to see the situation first.
After all, there is not a drop of water in the cave, and if we don't act, we may really be trapped to death.
So Old Man Jiang connected the two bundles of ropes, asked several people to tighten them, and let one person go down first.
"I'll go!" Someone volunteered and stepped forward.
When Patriarch Chen saw that it was Wang Dashan, the fifteen-year-old son of villager Wang Ke, he warned: "Wrap your palms with cloth, be careful not to hurt your hands."
Wang Dashan nodded, took the linen strip handed by others, wrapped it around his palm, then tightened the rope and climbed down.
He was small and agile, and he quickly reached the bottom of the cliff.
When it was still five feet above the ground, the rope had ended.
Wang Dashan gritted his teeth and jumped directly.
The bottom of the cliff was full of rocks, but luckily he didn't sprain his feet.
Patriarch Chen and Wang Dashan's mother stared nervously at the figure, watching him run down the mountain quickly and into the woods.
After waiting for about half an hour, Wang Dashan emerged from the forest again, waved his hand towards the cave, and said loudly: "There are no bandits nearby!"
The people in the cave jumped up excitedly and asked to go down one after another.
Patriarch Chen asked them to line up and come one by one.
In order to prevent the rope from wearing out against the cliff, Old Man Jiang also held his own quilt on the edge of the cliff.
But even so, after sending dozens of people down, the rope was still worn and rough.
The remaining people were even more anxious and asked to go down the mountain first. Some even started fighting over this.
These are nothing, the most terrible thing is that some old people and children cannot go down the cliff alone by rope.
"What should I do?" Jiang Dahu scratched his head anxiously.
Most of these people were from Jiangjia Village. They didn't feel anything when they came up, but it was difficult to get down the cliff.
Patriarch Chen: "Then let someone carry them down."
"The key is who is willing to carry it?" Jiang Dahu asked anxiously: "Every family has several old people and children, and there are only two young and middle-aged people. They each carry one, but there are other children."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Patriarch Chen suddenly thought of his wife and injured grandson.
That's all for these two people. The most important thing is that there are several young grandchildren.
Moreover, an adult's weight and body shape are different from that of a child, so how much arm strength is required to carry a large living person.
Chun Niang became anxious when she heard their conversation.
She has two sons and one daughter. How can she take all three children with her?
I'm not afraid of carrying three at a time, but if my hands slip...
Jiang Cheng saw Third Aunt's anxiety and said, "Third Aunt, don't worry, I can carry Ying Bao down."
How could Chun Niang not be worried? She looked at Yuan Bao and Hu Zi and whispered: "There are still Yuan Bao and Hu Zi."
"Aniang can carry ingots on her back."
Jiang Cheng glanced at the weak second aunt. He just didn't know if this second aunt could carry a tiger's son.
Chun Niang: "What about your grandparents?"
Jiang Cheng paused.
Yes, there are also grandparents. Damn it that I forgot about them.
Chun Niang sighed: "I'll carry it myself."
On the other side, Xiao Zhenniang decided to let Wen Fu carry the nanny down while she took care of her daughter Wen Shu.
Nanny shook her head and refused: "I can do it myself, but I'd better let Wen Fu take Shu'er down first."
Xiao Zhenniang thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
The third lady, Mrs. Lin, suddenly came over and said, "Fourth brother and sister, your two nieces are only eight years old. Just ask Wen Fu to take them down. Shu'er is already ten years old. There is no need for someone to carry her. Look at the ten people over there.
Next year, none of the children will go down by themselves."
Xiao Zhenniang didn't even look at her and immediately asked Wen Fu to take Wen Shu down the cliff.
"Ms. Xiao! You're going too far! After all, A Tian and Gillian still call you aunt, but you don't care about their life or death!" Mrs. Lin was so angry that she tried to pull Wen Fu to prevent him from taking Wen Shu off the cliff.
Now even Patriarch Chen couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Mrs. Lin: "Mrs. Wen San, this is wrong with you. How can you let others give up their own children and send your children away?"
Mrs. Lin burst into tears, "But what about my child?"
Patriarch Chen frowned and ignored her. He asked a few young men to tighten the rope and let Wen Fu carry Wen Shu down the cliff.
After that, the nanny also went down, and almost sprained her foot when jumping off the rope. Fortunately, she did a lot of work on weekdays, and her body was still flexible. She stabilized quickly, and ran to the opposite side and shouted to the cave: "Madam, come down quickly, hurry up.
The rope is fine."
Wen Fu had already thrown the bedding and other items as well as the remaining food off the cliff before. Although the jars and other items were broken, the water bag wrapped in the quilt remained intact.
At this moment, he gathered all the things and carried them to a stable place. When the hostess came down, he went to find water.
Seeing that Aunt Wen and Wen Shu had gone down, Chun Niang was relieved.
It seems that going down the cliff is not too difficult. As long as you are careful, you should be fine.
Xiao Zhenniang came over and said to Yingbao: "Bao'er, I'll carry you down." She had already seen that the Jiang family had too many children, but Qingzhuang didn't have any, so Chunniang couldn't carry three children down the mountain by herself.
Since her daughter has already gone down the mountain, she should carry one for Chun Niang.
When Chun Niang heard that Mrs. Wen was going to take Bao'er down, she was naturally happy and hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you very much, sir."
Ying Bao shook his head: "Master, please take my brother down first."
She wanted to end her marriage not only because her mother-in-law and her brother were still up there, but also because she believed she could go down the mountain alone without anyone else carrying her.
"It's fine." Xiao Zhenniang didn't have any objection. Anyway, she could share one of the tasks for Chun Niang. It didn't matter who she was.
So Xiao Zhenniang tied Jiang Jie tightly behind her back with the cloth strap given by Chun Niang, then wrapped another cloth strap around her palms several times, and pulled the rope to climb down the mountain.
At this moment, Mrs. Lin knelt down and begged Xiao Zhenniang with tears in her eyes: "Fourth brother and sister! I beg you, please save your niece."
