Chapter 16 Parting ways(2/2)

The girl then said: "Auntie is right, my cousin was raised too pampered and doesn't know how to bow her head and be submissive."



Everyone in Jiangjia Village has already left the city gate, and only the Jiang family, four people from the Wang family, and the newly joined old man are left at the city gate.

After calming down, Jiang Kangde also felt that he had been too impulsive just now.

He originally thought that if his family stayed together, there would be more people and he would not be afraid on the road, but he did not expect that those at home would have such an idea, and no one would be willing to stay.

Instead, he, an old man in poor health, stayed. Wouldn't this bring trouble to the second brother's family?

Jiang Kangde said with some guilt: "Kang Cheng, I can't help you, so you might as well just leave. I'll be a burden if I follow you."

Mr. Jiang pretended to be angry and said: "Brother, what did you say? Where did your enthusiasm go? We are a family, so don't worry."

Jiang Zhiyue also stepped forward in time, smiled and comforted him: "Grandpa, don't worry, as long as we have something to eat, we will never lose you."

Others also advised: "You can just follow me in peace."

Seeing that everyone sincerely didn't dislike him, he felt more at ease.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at the people of Jiangjia Village who had walked a hundred meters away. She originally thought that she would have the opportunity to take out the food in the space and give it to the villagers. Unexpectedly, she made such a fuss and left directly.

"Little sister, little sister? What are you thinking about?" Jiang Dalang patted Jiang Zhiyue on the shoulder.

It turns out that I was too engrossed in my thoughts just now and my mind wandered.

Jiang Zhiyue came back to her senses and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Our father asked you what to do next, should we follow you?" Jiang Dalang said.

"Let's leave in half an hour. You guys find a place to rest for a while while I go out to do some errands."

After Jiang Zhiyue said that, she left alone. She had not yet done what she had promised to others last night.

The Jiang family didn't ask her what she was going to do. They just shouted from behind: "Remember to come back early."



The west side of the county at this time.

Another group of people also gathered together at this time.

They all looked downcast, and someone said, "Uncle Henrong, everyone over there seems to have left. When should we set off?"

Hengrong sat on a stone pier, looked at everyone who was losing their vitality, and said, "Let's wait until noon before setting off."

Although the others didn't understand why they had to leave after noon, they thought it would be the same no matter what time they left, so they didn't say anything.

A circle of seventy or eighty of them sat together in the shade.

There is no hope in his eyes, as if he has lost hope in life.

Only old Hengrong sat and stood for a while, suppressing the excitement and anxiety in his heart.

What happened last night couldn't be a dream he had when he fainted from hunger.

But he didn't dare to go against the old god's wishes, what if he couldn't be given food because he didn't do what the old god said.

Old Hengrong, who was in a complicated mood, could only continue to wait restlessly.

Jiang Zhiyue also arrived at Liang Ji's grain store in the west of the city. She entered through the large open door and found that it was also a mess inside.

She didn't find any hidden place and took out the food directly in a clean corner of the facade.

She had already replaced the grain bag with a large sack in advance, and each bag could hold almost 200 kilograms of grain.

She waved her hand, and the grain bags appeared in the corner in front of her, neatly stacked together.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't know how many people lived in the village of Lao Hengrong, but it looked like there were no more than a hundred.

So Jiang Zhiyue took out twenty-five bags of grain, which was enough for them to eat for several months.

After thinking about it, Jiang Zhiyue filled several large tanks in the yard behind the grain store with water.

After all, finding water is a difficult task now. Since you can help, let’s help others to the end.

After doing all this, Jiang Zhiyue left quietly again.

But she didn't know that the amount of food and water she left behind was surprising.

Seeing the sun hanging high in the sky, Old Hengrong could no longer sit still.

Old Hengrong stood up and waved his hand and said: "Let's go to Liang Ji's grain store to have a look."

"Uncle Henrong, didn't we already go to the grain store when we came here last night? There is nothing even in the warehouse in the backyard. Why are we going there? We should save some energy here."

But old Hengrong was as stubborn as a cow: "What are you talking about? Hurry up, everyone goes."

Seeing Hengrong's excitement, everyone had no choice but to get up from the ground and follow.

After turning a street, a group of people arrived at the gate of Liang Ji's grain store.

A middle-aged man in the village watched Old Hengrong take a deep breath at the door and took a deep breath again and again, but did not open the door.

He was impatient and muttered: "Uncle, what are you doing? I already told you that there is nothing here..." No more!!!

The middle-aged man who couldn't help opening the door was stunned. What's going on?

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the corners of the room in disbelief.

"Grain, grain, grain... so much grain!!!"

The middle-aged man's scream broke the calm outside the door.
