Escape after crossing

Jiang Hongyu only knew that Jiang Ziluo wanted to buy something, but he didn't know what he was selling, so he just kept running forward following Jiang Ziluo.

As soon as the two entered the city, they saw the mess on the roads. Jiang Ziluo stopped and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

"Sister, let's go find dad and the others. This city looks messy, let's not go in to buy things." Jiang Hongyu looked at the messy ground and persuaded Jiang Ziluo.

Jiang Ziluo didn't expect that people would be so fast. If ordinary people were leaving in such a hurry, what about the rich people?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziluo didn't delay any longer and went straight to the south of the city. Jiang Hongyu saw his sister suddenly running forward, and he got anxious and ran after Jiang Ziluo.

There were still some people on the street, but in groups of three or four. After running for a while, they arrived at the wealthy area. This was different from what Jiang Ziluo saw the day before.

The day before yesterday there were still servants, maids and old women, but today there is no trace of any servants outside the gate, let alone maids and old women.

Jiang Ziluo walked to the house closest to him, stepped forward, and knocked on the door politely.

Jiang Hongyu had no idea what Jiang Ziluo was going to do. Before he could pay attention, Jiang Ziluo had already knocked on the door.

Standing next to Jiang Ziluo, he said, "Luluo, what are you doing? Do you know anyone inside?"

"Brother, don't talk yet." Jiang Ziluo put his ear against the door, trying to listen to the noise.

Jiang Hongyu obediently said nothing. Jiang Ziluo listened for a while, but didn't hear any sound, so she tried hard to push the door open, but she was small and not strong enough.

Seeing that he couldn't push it, he looked at Jiang Hongyu eagerly, and Jiang Hongyu understood what he meant.

Reaching out to push the door, Jiang Ziluo was not idle either, pushing hard as well. This time it worked well and opened.

Jiang Ziluo said to Jiang Hongyu, "Brother, should we look around together or separately?"

"Sister, what do you want to look at? This is someone else's home. It's not right for us to do this." Jiang Hongyu only now remembered that this was someone else's home.

"Brother, didn't you see that the whole family had left? How could there be anyone left in this courtyard? Brother, let's go together. I tell you, yesterday I saw that there were still people in these mansions, but now they are all empty.

They left in such a hurry that they must have left a lot of things behind. Let's go and see if there is any food or anything edible."

"Sister, we have so much food at home. If we take more, I'm afraid there won't be room in the car. Besides, we can't take much just the two of us."

When Jiang Hongyu talked about his own food, he unconsciously lowered his voice and looked around.

"Brother, if we don't take it, think about it. We have so much food. If other villagers see us eating well along the way, what will happen to us?"

Jiang Ziluo didn't say the things directly. He wanted Jiang Hongyu to think about it himself. This would make it more impressive than speaking it out loud.

Moreover, Jiang Ziluo intentionally wanted Jiang Hongyu to learn to think more. Jiang Hongyu is already 15 years old. It would be good for him to think more and have a more active mind.

As expected, Jiang Hongyu has lived in the village for so many years and understands the character of some people in the village.

"Sister, I saw that there are a few good people in the village following us. Sister, do you think they will come to steal our food? No, we have to leave quickly and tell Dad."

Jiang Ziluo looked at Jiang Hongyu and complained in his heart, why didn't he play by the rules? There was no other way, Jiang Ziluo said again.

"Brother, why are you in such a hurry? We can still have time to talk about it later. Let's go see if there is any food. If there is, we can go back and discuss it with the village chief.

Let's get everyone together to find some food. Once everyone has food, they won't deliberately stare at our food."

"Oh, sister, you are doing this for everyone to see? But it belongs to someone else after all. Would it be bad if we just take it away like this?"

Jiang Ziluo was a soldier and knew that he could not take even a single needle or thread from the people, but in order to ensure that the Jiang family would not be targeted or remembered by the villagers during their escape from famine, he did this.

This is the only way. "Brother, if there is someone here, I will never take anything from them, but you can see, in such a big house, how can there be only one person?

We are just here to take some of the things they don't want. Think about it, isn't it a waste to leave all this food here? The people in the village probably don't have much food.

We see there is food here, but if we don't take it, will we just watch them starve to death? Brother, sometimes we have to be flexible.

You are right, it is wrong to take other people's things, but in this situation, can we save more people?"

Jiang Hongyu listened but did not answer. Instead, he thought about it carefully. Jiang Ziluo did not disturb him.

I quickly looked around the kitchen and the storeroom. As expected, the rich man hadn't taken many things with him. I'm afraid he left in a hurry and only took the valuables.

Jiang Ziluo also noticed a cart in an inconspicuous corner of the warehouse. After Jiang Ziluo took a look around, Jiang Hongyu seemed to have figured it out.

I was looking for Jiang Ziluo, and when I saw her, I asked, "Sister, how are you?"

Jiang Ziluo knew that this elder brother could still be taught. "Brother, these rich people really have a lot of things they haven't taken away."

"Should we go back and tell the village chief now?"

"Brother, we have only looked at this one. We need to look at a few more. This way, when we go back and tell the village chief, he will believe us more."

"Well, my sister is the one who thinks things through. Let's go quickly." After saying that, she pulled Jiang Ziluo out.

Next, the two siblings visited three or four more houses, and they didn't take away all the things from almost all of them, but some took more and some took less.

Jiang Ziluo saw carts in all of these houses. After looking at these houses, Jiang Ziluo stopped looking. He pulled Jiang Hongyu and wanted to go out of the city to catch up with Jiang Runzhi and the others.
