Chapter 144： refugee

Early the next morning, Yingbao went to give Chen Sanyou another injection. After feeding him a bowl of decoction, she saw that he was awake and could sit up to express his thanks. She was pleased and wrote down an account at the same time.

When she returns to the village, she will give the account book to his three sons and ask them to pay for the medicine.

As for now, Yingbao only asked Chen Yin to pay for the medication, and Chen Yin said that he would definitely pay it back in the future.

However, before noon, another group of refugees arrived in Jiangjia Village. Half of them knew Jiang Sanlang, and it was as if they had come to seek refuge with him.

Jiang Sanlang and his brothers were also helpless, but they were all from the same village and were also in trouble, so there was no reason to ignore them.

Fortunately, they brought their own food and could barely eat for a few days.

But before they could decide how to settle here, a large group of refugees came over there.

Most of the people who came this time were from Dongchen Village, including three mothers and daughters. It was Mrs. Wen San, her twin daughter Wen Tian Wenjiao, and two maids.

As soon as they entered the village, they directly found Jiang Sanlang. A large group of people were sitting on the ground, crying and crying. It was so miserable.

Hundreds of refugees poured into the small village at once, which made the people of Jiangjia Village panic. More than 20 families went to the village leader and patriarch's home and unanimously demanded that Old Man Jiang and his family and the refugees be driven out of the village.

Jiang Cunzheng was also in a dilemma, but considering that the village really couldn't accommodate so many people, he had to tactfully ask Old Man Jiang to let them leave.

Now that the village leader has spoken, and there are dozens of eager villagers following behind him, Old Man Jiang and his family can only silently pack up and bow before leaving.

Uncle Jiang held his brother's hand and refused to let him go, with tears and runny noses.

Jiang Jiu said from the side: "Dad, why don't we let my uncle and the others go to Dongshan? There is water and bamboo forests there. Aren't we going to cut bamboo arrows? Let them stay there temporarily, and it will be easier for them to do things."

Uncle Jiang's eyes lit up and he immediately wanted to take his younger brother and his family to Dongshan.

The villagers of Jiangjia Village were still unhappy and tried their best to prevent them from going to Dongshan. "They must leave the village and are not allowed to go to Dongshan!"

Uncle Jiang got angry, picked up a kitchen knife and rushed out, cursing: "There is Yongye field owned by my family in Dongshan, with dozens of acres of forest land. I just want them to stay there. What does it have to do with you?"

Then he pointed at Chief Jiang: "You don't want to cross the river and burn the bridge. I gave you so many cotton seeds, but they were all given by my nephew. Now my brother's family is in trouble, and you are turning your back on me? I Let me tell you, his surname is Jiang, and he is also a descendant of my Jiang family. As the clan leader, forget it, but you are adding insult to injury and are worse than animals! "

Chief Jiang's face turned red after being scolded by the old man, but he did not dare to get angry. Finally, he reluctantly agreed to let Jiang Sanlang and the others go to Dongshan Woodland.

Mrs. Lin, the third wife of Jiang, did not want to leave, so she said to Xiao Zhenniang: "Fourth brother and sister, we are different from those refugees. Why don't we talk to the Jiang chief and let us stay in the village, and we will pay them the accommodation fee."

Xiao Zhenniang said while packing her things: "You can tell it yourself, Shu'er and I must go with the Jiang family."

Mrs. Lin was displeased and complained: "It's just a matter of words. You have lived here with the Jiang family for a day or two and are familiar with them. I only came here just now, so how can you make sense."

Xiao Zhenniang glanced at her, ignored her complaint, and asked, "Didn't you go to the county town? Why are you back? Where are your two carriages? Where are the golden ears you took away?"

Mrs. Lin turned away and said sarcastically: "We encountered bandits on the road, so we had to turn around and come back, but the bandits were hot on their heels, so I had to ask the maid to throw away the golden ears and valuables, and then we got rid of the chase. But halfway. The wheel was broken, so we had to get out of the car and walk. Later, we met the villagers of Chen Village and joined them. "

“Oh, where are the horses?” Xiao Zhenniang asked, “Are the two horses missing too?”

“The horse was stolen by someone last night.”

Ms. Lin was embarrassed to say that it was actually two grooms who stole the horse and took advantage of the chaos to escape somewhere.

The two horses were also tied with food and some supplies, as well as their household registration and road signs.

Xiao Zhenniang glanced at her third sister-in-law expressionlessly and continued to pack her things: "So now that you have nothing, you still want to live in Jiangjia Village. Have you ever thought about what you can use to pay for accommodation and food?" Ms. Lin wanted to say no. There is you, but I can’t say that because of face.

“I still have a bracelet, which should be enough to cover the cost.”

No matter what, the two daughters still have two zodiac gold medals in their lapels, which should last for a while.

Xiao Zhenniang ignored her and packed her and her daughter's things into two packages.

Nanny walked in and whispered: "Madam, we are leaving now. If you have anything else to pack, let me come."

"It's all packed up." Xiao Zhenniang pointed to the two large packages on the kang, "Please ask grandma to carry one, and I will carry the other."

Nanny put one parcel on her back, tried it, and then picked up another one. "These are not heavy, just one person will do."

Xiao Zhenniang didn't say anything, turned around and walked out.

“Fourth brother and sister!” Mrs. Lin was very angry when she saw this and hurriedly followed her out, “You want to leave us?”

Xiao Zhenniang said without turning her head: "Throw something away or not. Now you and I have too much time to take care of ourselves, so we'd better be safe on our own." She didn't want to talk to this sister-in-law at all.

He told her not to go to the county town but went anyway, taking Jin Ear with her. As a result, not only the goods worth more than two hundred taels of silver were lost, but also the delicate silver coins.

At this moment, he was approached again, hoping that he could support the three masters and three servants of the six of them, and he looked confident and confident. This wishful thinking was really good.

"You..." Ms. Lin was anxious and didn't care about being reserved. She ran forward and grabbed Xiao Zhenniang, "Okay, let's go together."

The people in this village obviously did not welcome them, and Mrs. Lin actually did not dare to stay alone. Seeing that her four younger siblings had left, she naturally wanted to follow them.

The escape two days ago had frightened Lin's courage, and now meeting Xiao Zhenniang was like grabbing a life-saving straw in the rapids, and she dared not let go.

A large group of refugees went to Dongshan. Jiang Sanlang took more than 20 young people to cut bamboo to build a bamboo shed, while Old Man Jiang and a group of people cut bamboo to make bows and arrows.

Jiang Jiu took the money and went to the village to buy a lot of hemp rope and gave it to his uncle. He also brought two large iron pots and asked his aunt and the others to cook for themselves.

Chunniang exchanged the rice, wheat and **** wine she brought home for rice noodles, used an iron pot to make flour pancakes, and another pot to cook porridge for her family to eat.

As for other people, she couldn't care about them because she didn't have much food at home.

Of course, my little girl’s master and daughter cannot ignore her, and she must give her what should be given.

The villagers of Chen Village followed Jiang Sanlang to Dongshan, but they were not dissatisfied. They all worked enthusiastically to cut bamboos and build bamboo sheds.

They were so familiar with this job that they quickly built bamboo sheds for their homes to protect themselves from the wind and rain.

So each house was settled in each house, and the women spontaneously went back to find firewood and piled it next to the bamboo shed.

Those villagers who lost their food did not complain. Women took their children to look for edible wild vegetables and ground vegetables in the mountains.

Since it had just rained a while ago, there were a lot of vegetables on the mountain, so everyone quickly returned with half a basket.

 Tear some ramie leaves and ground vegetables and boil them, which can barely fill your stomach.
