Every time she cried and knelt down, not only Chun Niang was embarrassed, but even Old Man Jiang couldn't wipe his face away.
After all, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wen are sisters-in-law, and Mrs. Lin’s daughter can also be regarded as Mrs. Wen’s niece. At this moment, Mrs. Wen is carrying her grandson down the mountain, but does not care about her niece. If this is spread, people will not care about the two sisters-in-law.
If there is any discord, I will only say that Mrs. Wen is heartless.
Chun Niang and Mrs. Zhou quickly helped Mrs. Lin up, but for a moment they didn't know how to persuade her.
At this moment, Xiao Zhenniang had already slid down the mountain expressionlessly, not even looking at Mrs. Lin.
Seeing that Mrs. Lin was still crying loudly, Old Man Jiang had to step forward and said: "Mrs. Wen, don't worry, I'd better take your child down the mountain. Mrs. Wen is a female, and she will definitely not be able to carry your child, so..."
Mrs. Lin was secretly resentful, but she didn't dare to take it out at this time. She gave Old Man Jiang a blessing, "Then I'll bother Old Man Jiang, woo woo woo... I feel sorry for the two children too. It's a pity that they don't want their fourth aunt to take care of them."
See…"
Yingbao didn't want to listen to her tea talk, so she walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down.
Mrs. Wen quickly carried Xiaojie down to the bottom of the cliff, climbed up the gentle slope with Wen Fu's help, and then retreated to the edge of the forest with Wen Shu and Nanny.
Ying Bao breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to see her grandma Jiang Liu also climbing down the cliff on the rope.
Even though Mrs. Jiang Liu is already over sixty, her hands and feet are quite nimble and she can slide down to the bottom of the cliff very quickly.
Then the second concubine Yanru followed Huzi along.
Dani and Erni went down the cliff smoothly without any urging.
The aunt first threw down the bedding and belongings at home, and then with the help of her eldest son, she tied the grain to a rope and slowly hung it down.
In order to deliver the grain to the ground, several rope pullers took a few steps forward.
The little deer Youyou was also tied up with a rope and they did the same thing. When it got to the bottom of the cliff, someone would naturally help it untie it.
In the end, Wei Zhan and Ying Bao were the only children left in Old Han Jiang's family.
There is also Jiang Wu, who is already being carried behind Chun Niang.
When Chun Niang came to carry the Ying Bao again, she refused: "I can go down by myself. How can you carry two people, mother? It's better to take Xiao Wu down the cliff first."
"No! How old are you, how can you go down the cliff alone." This time Chun Niang didn't want to obey her daughter's wishes. "You're not heavy, I can take you and your brother with me."
Ying Bao: "I can really do that." She turned to Wei Zhan and asked, "Can you go down alone?"
How could Wei Zhan dare to say no? He said loudly: "What does this mean? I have climbed down a cliff higher than this!"
"Okay, let me have a look first." After Ying Bao finished speaking, she stared at him closely.
Wei Zhan's eyes twitched, he tied his hand, resolutely grabbed the rope and said to Ying Bao: "Watch it!"
"Be careful, be sure to hold on to the rope, otherwise you will fall into pieces." Ying Bao warned him expressionlessly.
"Humph!" Wei Zhan snorted, but his eyes did not dare to look down the mountain, and just slid down a little bit.
It was easy for a few young men to pull a child, and they kindly walked forward and sent Wei Zhan to the ground.
"Did you see it?" Wei Zhan shouted proudly from below.
Ying Bao glanced at it and turned around, saying to her, "Mom, have you seen it? It's very easy, I don't need you to take care of it."
Chun Niang paused for a while, still uneasy.
At this time, Ms. Lin pulled her daughter Wen Tian over and handed it to Old Man Jiang: "Please leave it to Mr. Jiang."
Wen Tian has become much more honest after that incident. She has not dared to get emotional in the past few days. Now she is lying obediently behind Old Man Jiang and letting others use ropes to fix her.
But when Old Man Jiang took her down the cliff, she repeated her old tricks, kicking and screaming desperately, which caused the rope to swing back and forth uncontrollably.
Several people were frightened when they saw this situation, and quickly pulled Old Man Jiang up again.
Ying Bao was also frightened and broke into a cold sweat. She immediately stepped forward and pulled off Wen Tian's straps and pushed her away.
"Grandpa! Leave her alone!"
This kind of person is simply seeking death and doesn't deserve anyone to help her.
Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan were also very angry and unanimously refused to let their grandfather carry her on his back.
Lin was so angry that she stepped forward and slapped Wen Tian in the mouth: "What on earth are you making a fuss about?"
Wen Tian covered her face and cried: "I'm scared...wuwuwu...mother, I'm really scared."
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she wanted to slap her, but suddenly she saw old man Jiang carrying the cherry treasure, so he immediately ran over and asked, "How can you keep your word? You promised to help us, but then changed your mind in the blink of an eye!"
Jiang Cheng said coldly: "Why don't you keep your words? Why didn't you tell me that my grandpa was almost killed by your daughter? Now my grandpa has to carry Yingbao and has no time to take care of your children."
After saying that, he said to Jiang Quan: "You go down first, my grandpa and I will take the rear."
He didn't want Ms. Lin to trick her grandfather into carrying her daughter after he left.
Jiang Quan did not hesitate, carried two big gourds on his back and went down the cliff, leaving the two puppies with his eldest brother Jiang Cheng.
Afterwards, Old Man Jiang also carried the Yingbao and successfully reached the bottom of the cliff.
Originally, Ying Bao could come down alone, but in order to squeeze out Lin's daughter, she had to ask her grandfather to carry her.
Then Jiang Cheng went down with two puppies.
After the Jiang family gathered together, they immediately walked into the woods.
The food and bedding were shared among everyone, so they didn't feel heavy at all.
At this time, many people had gone far away. Most of them went to find water sources nearby, and some returned to Jiangjia Village to investigate the situation.
The villagers of Dongchen Village still gathered around Old Man Jiang's house, asking where Old Man Jiang was going.
"Why don't we go back to the village?" Old Man Jiang turned to Chief Chen and asked, "What do you think?"
Patriarch Chen nodded: "Then go back to the village, but you can't take the official route."
Who knows if there are any stray bandits on official roads?
"Okay, let's take the small road back to the village." Old Man Jiang looked towards the direction of the cave again: "Is there anyone there who hasn't come down yet?"
"Yes." Patriarch Chen said: "Three friends and several families of villagers are still up there, and Mrs. Wen and her daughter don't seem to have come down either."
Old Man Jiang sighed and said, "Since we have returned to the village, we have to wait for the people on the mountain." We all fled together, and no one could be left alone.
Patriarch Chen nodded: "Then send a smart boy to take a look around, before another bandit comes by then."
"The kid from Wang Ke's family has already gone to investigate the situation. He should be back soon."
While it was still dark, Yingbao and her second cousin followed a few villagers to scrape pine bark in the forest and prepare to burn torches.
Scrape a little rosin and apply it on the bark. It will burn easily after being rolled up.
Ying Bao touched the tree trunks that had peeled off the bark, took out a charcoal stick and wrote a few big words on it: Auntie's younger brother Bao'er has returned to the village.
If Dad were nearby, he would definitely see these words.
After writing more than a dozen trees in a row, Ying Bao followed her cousin back to the station.
Two hours later, there were still servants on the other side of the cave, but Chen Sanyou and Lin's mother and daughter had already been carried down by the villagers.
Chen Sanyou was supported by his eldest son and walked to sit next to Patriarch Chen. Mrs. Lin also came with her two daughters and three servants, but she did not approach the Jiang family. Instead, she sat with Chen Sanyou's eldest daughter-in-law.
"Mr. Wen's servant went to the woods to look for mules and horses, but he didn't know if he could find them." Mrs. Jiang Liu sighed.
Old Man Jiang was not very hopeful: "Nine times out of ten, we can't find it. There are a lot of bones at the foot of the mountain. They might have been eaten by the bandits long ago."
Even if they don't eat, mules and horses are good for pulling goods and carrying people, so there's no way the bandits could let them go.
