The young couple from the farm fights back
Chapter 88 The Whole Village Escapes
At this moment, Jiang Li didn't have time to think deeply, and brought in a large bundle of cow grass that Dashuan had cut in the morning from outside the yard.
He threw the food on the ground to satisfy the cow's hunger, and then drew a bucket of water and placed it in front of it. Only after it had eaten and drunk enough would it have the strength to take their entire family to escape.
Zhao hurried to the school to pick up the two children. Heng'er and Shuan'er returned to their own yard with confused looks on their faces.
When Aunt Zhao went to pick them up, the uncles and aunts from the clan also rushed to the school to pick up their children. On the way back, the two brothers saw many villagers driving ox carts loaded with things towards the end of the village. They had no idea what was going on.
Now, they saw that the ox cart in their own yard was also loaded with things.
Having not seen their mother [aunt] for many days, the two children didn't have time to think and immediately threw themselves into Jiang Li's arms.
"Mother~"
"Aunt, Brother Que misses you so much."
Jiang Li stroked the two children's heads with relief: "Heng'er, Que'er, Mom has to take you away. You must be obedient on the road and take good care of your younger brothers and sisters, understand?"
Heng Ge'er: ..., what does leaving mean?
Que Ge'er: ..., but there are bad guys coming to kill them?
The two brothers, who seemed to understand but not quite, nodded in response.
Jiang Li returned to the house, carried An Ge'er on her back with a sling, then used another newly made sling to carry her daughter in front of her, and took Jing Ge'er and her cousin's granddaughter Ming Jie'er out.
Zhao, holding Erbao and holding Dabao, waited in the yard, watching the villagers passing by with their ox carts fleeing the disaster. Zhao couldn't help but feel anxious, fearing that if her family took a little longer, they would end up in trouble.
About half an hour later, Dashuan was finally seen driving a loaded ox cart towards them.
Aunt Hu and her cousin sat on top of the cart. Uncle Zhou Er took the whip and ox rope from Da Shuan and said, "Go and help your sister-in-law drive the cart."
"Oh, okay, Dad." Dashuan responded and stepped forward, first picked up Dabao and Mingjie'er and put them in the arms of my mother and uncle.
When Jiang Li went to the car to store things, he reserved a small space for people to sit. Compared with the things in Uncle Zhou's house, their family didn't have too many things, and Zhou Chunfeng added a top plate at the end of the car, so that the things would not fall off easily when walking, and they could be stacked higher.
Jiang Li asked Zhao to hold Erbao and sit on the carriage, then she carried Heng'er and Que'er onto the carriage, and finally picked up Jing'er and stuffed him between the two brothers, and then she also sat on the carriage. There was just enough space for them.
Jiang Li turned around and told the three brothers: "Sit still and don't move."
"Yeah." The children were very obedient.
Jiang Li lowered his head and gestured to Aowu, who was under the car: "Get in!"
Awooo raised his head and roared happily, then jumped directly to the top of the object with his front paws, crawled comfortably and looked up at the front.
Jiang Li did not intend to increase the burden on the cow. It was just that if the cow moved around underneath, it would easily scare the villagers who were fleeing with it, so he did not want to cause unnecessary unrest.
Dashuan looked at the large group of people rushing towards the end of the village with a confused look on his face, and their two ox carts hurried to catch up with the large group.
Fearing that the army would raid the village and discover that all the people had fled, they pursued them overnight. Dashuan and Zhou Ershu didn't dare to stop for even a quarter of an hour, starting from the tail of the main force and slowly catching up to the front. More and more villagers who had fled from other villages joined them, and the entire team became a mighty force.
Jiang Li never expected that she would experience the famous scene of fleeing famine in her life, dragging a bunch of little kids, and the ox cart was moving slower than it was.
The road was not easy to walk at night. Seeing that most of the troops were resting on the roadside, Jiang Li suggested, "Why don't we take a break too? The cattle are exhausted, so let them drink some water and eat some grass. Otherwise, they won't be able to move forward tomorrow."
Uncle Zhou Er said, "You two take a rest first. We'll go up to the front and cut some fodder."
Uncle Zhou Er and his son pulled the ox cart over to the side of the road. Many villagers started a fire with firewood in the surrounding area. Everyone was fleeing in a hurry, and few families had time to prepare some dry food at home.
Dashuan carefully helped my mother and uncle get out of the car, and then followed me to the hillside in front to cut grass. Jiang Li asked Aowu to go with them so that they could catch some wild animals to fill their stomachs.
Aunt Hu was worried about the children being hungry, and also worried that Jiang Li, still in confinement, would not be able to bear it, so she said hurriedly, "Everyone is hungry, how about we light a fire and cook something to eat?"
"I asked my sister-in-law to prepare some dry food at home. We can just make do with it." Jiang Li said as he untied the straps behind him and put An Ge'er down.
Zhao nodded repeatedly, found a large basket of dry food from among the items, first gave half a large pancake to each child and a whole pancake to the adults, and also took out several bamboo tubes filled with well water.
The children ate voraciously, not afraid of choking. This year, their families had been well off, and the children had never been deprived of food, with regular meals. If they only had food at the right time, they would starve.
Jiang Li was not in a hurry to eat. She held her daughter and found a big tree. She fed her daughter a few sips of milk while turning her back to the viewer.
The ride was bumpy, but fortunately the little girl didn't cry or make a fuss, which saved me a lot of worry. She was a well-behaved and obedient child. In the dim light, the little girl drank milk in big gulps, which made the little one very hungry.
The little girl, who was well fed and satisfied, grinned brightly. Although the light was dim, the child's eyes were particularly bright and sparkling like glass beads.
Jiang Li couldn't help but hug her daughter tightly, thinking of the letter she had left for Zhou Chunfeng. She wondered if they would ever be together again. A wave of melancholy quietly flowed through her heart. In these turbulent times, she and her child were truly helpless. Only by surviving could they have a chance to meet again. She sincerely prayed to God to bless them and their family with peace and prosperity.
Too many unexpected events have happened in this life. Clearly, there was no such incident of the people of Shilitun fleeing in the previous life in the book. Could it be because too many people in the book were reborn, and the arrival of her and Zhou Chunfeng created a wings effect?
When Jiang Li returned to the ox cart with her daughter in her arms, she saw Zhao, who had brought back a bucket of water from somewhere, and was gutting a chicken with a knife.
"Sister-in-law, mother said you're still in confinement and you must have endured so much hardship along the way. You must be physically unable to bear it. So she asked me to catch a chicken from our chicken coop and kill and roast it."
When the children heard about eating roasted chicken, they all became more energetic, their carsick heads were relieved, and their bodies, which were sore from the shaking, felt stronger.
My uncle is old, and the shaking of the ox cart along the way really made his old body feel uncomfortable. Now he is sitting on the board of Jiang Li's ox cart to take a rest.
Aunt Hu was holding Erbao and probably went to the front to chat with other villagers.
Few of the villagers who fled this time were able-bodied men, though some did escape the imperial draft last year. But most were boys under fifteen, or men with disabilities, young and old, all looking terrified.
"We have a cage of chickens in the car. We have two families, so why don't we check to see if any of them are suffocating in the cage? Kill one or two more so everyone can have a good meal. If there are none, and they suffocate and can't be eaten, it would be a waste."
Jiang Li never thought that he could transport the poultry to a suitable refuge safely. Not to mention that the chickens and ducks were uncomfortable in the cages, feeding them on the road was also a hassle. However, he thought that if he took them with him on the road, the children would have some meat to eat.
"Okay, sister-in-law." Zhao nodded in response.
Jiang Li asked her uncle to help hold the little girl. She rolled up her sleeves to help, but was stopped by Zhao: "Sister-in-law, you must not touch the cold water. Otherwise, you will get sick in the future. You should rest well. You don't need to worry about such a small matter."
Jiang Li had no way to deal with her, so she went back to the carriage and saw that her daughter was already asleep in her cousin's arms.
After thinking for a moment, he found a mattress from the car and placed it on the floor. He placed his daughter in a corner and covered her with a small blanket. He asked Que and Heng to watch over her in the car so that his uncle wouldn't have to carry her all the time.
Jing'er, An'er, and Dabao, three boys of the same age, squatted by the fire, watching Zhao kill the chicken. Jing'er, who had just eaten a cake, was especially greedy and couldn't blink.
Ming Jie'er is just a little girl after all. Faced with the current embarrassing situation, the little girl was timid and dared not move. She sat quietly beside her grandfather.
