The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

Jiang Li immediately opened the curtain and looked up to see a woman in her forties or fifties dressed as a village woman standing beside the carriage. It was she who had asked the question just now.

In addition, Jiang Li's carriage was surrounded by a group of men, women and children holding sticks, kitchen knives, and woodchopping knives. They were staring at her warily.

When he looked into Jiang Li's clear eyes and saw that she was cleanly dressed, he lowered his guard and asked, "Where are you from?"

Jiang Songshu and Jiang Youli were also awake. They wanted to stick their heads out, but Mr. Jiang held them down and gave them a warning look.

Outside, Jiang Li was about to speak. Jiang Dacheng opened the curtain and looked around with a look of surprise. Then he bowed his hands to everyone, "Excuse me, my surname is Jiang. We are coming from Anping Mansion." Yes, I was suffering from hemiplegia a while ago, and the doctors in the county said there is no cure. I am a filial brother in my family. After asking around a few times, I heard that there is a famous doctor in Qingzhou, and he was about to take me to see a doctor. I passed by here, and I disturbed everyone."

The leading woman didn't know whether to believe it or not. She looked at it for a while and then relaxed, "Is this really true?"

Mr. Jiang and Jiang Li looked at each other in confusion, then looked at the woman, "Why did this girl say this?"

"It's not just Han Jiang's group of people who were fleeing the famine, they all came over and came to our nearby villages to grab food and drink, and even injured our villagers."

A tall and strong young man in the crowd made an angry noise.

"We also encountered some of these on the way here."

The group of people in front of Mr. Jiang were no longer so nervous, so he asked Jiang Youli and others to come down.

While chatting with the local villagers, they found out that the leading woman was Wu, the village's legitimate daughter-in-law, and the angry-looking young man was his son Wu Dazhuang.

Jiang Li responded calmly, "These people are really hateful. The government has clearly issued an official document strictly prohibiting disaster victims from harassing residents of villages along the way. Yet they dare to rob and fight. You are really bold. If you catch them, you can report them to the government!"

"The head of my family is just dragging people to see the government today." Wu sighed, "I don't know how many waves this is going to be, and I don't know when it will end."

"Just wait until this wave of victims has passed." Jiang Dacheng said with relief, "The court will not sit idly by and do nothing."

Jiang Li felt that her grandfather was still too naive. The imperial court would take care of it, but obviously it couldn't control too much. It was a thousand miles from Jiangzhou to Qingzhou. There was not much food because of the drought, and there were no known dangers on the way. It is said that many people cannot survive in Qingzhou just because of food.

This is also a disguised way to reduce the pressure on the court.

Through chatting with Aunt Wu, Jiang Li learned that their carriage was discovered by Wujiazhuang villagers on patrol early in the morning.

Therefore, the Jiangli family cannot stay here any longer, lest they be treated as people with ulterior motives.

Before leaving, Jiang Lei called out to Wu Dazhuang, "Brother Wu, I have something to ask you."

"We are in a hurry to get to Qingzhou before the victims. We are afraid that there will be no food on the way. Can you please help find people in the village to make steamed buns, steamed buns, and buy some eggs? Can the price be the same as what the county buys?"

Jiang Li avoided Jiang Youli and others, pulled Wu Dazhuang who was behind the crowd, walked to the side and asked.

Wu Dazhuang didn't think much and agreed readily, "What's the problem? I'll take care of it."

Unexpectedly, Wu Dazhuang agreed so quickly. Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Then we want fifty meat buns, a hundred steamed buns, and fifty eggs. Please trouble Brother Wu."

Jiang Li immediately took out the money and gave it to Wu Dazhuang. According to the county, it cost three cents for a bun, one cent for a steamed bun, and two cents for an egg, a total of three hundred and fifty cents. Jiang Lei directly gave Wu Dazhuang half a tael of silver.

"If there are too many, Brother Wu, just give me something else."

Wu Dazhuang didn't refuse, took the money and left, waving to Jiang Li, "Wait for me to come over in two hours."

After Wu Dazhuang had gone far away, Jiang Youli and others walked up to Jiang Li and asked, "What are you two muttering about? What did you do to him?"

Jiang Li waited until she returned to the carriage before telling her what she had entrusted to Wu Dazhuang.

Everyone's eyes lit up, it can still be like this!

"Where did you get the money?" Jiang Youli looked at Jiang Li suspiciously.

It costs a lot of money to buy these things.

"What do you think I am looking for so many herbs for?" Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Youli and said.

Taking advantage of this excuse, she just happened to get rid of the herbs she usually picked while covering her ears and eyes.

"I'll send it over right away."

While Jiang Li and the others were talking, Mrs. Zhao silently lit firewood and heated the remaining chicken soup from last night. She tore the two remaining black buns into pieces and threw them into the chicken soup, soaking them together and heating them, waiting for the soup to boil. , and then threw in a handful of wild vegetables.

Huff and puff, each person ate half a bowl of glutinous rice, and quickly finished eating and putting it away.

I went to collect all the clothes I washed and hung on the branches yesterday.

Wu Dazhuang was almost back, carrying and carrying a lot of things.

Jiang Li took the lead and called Jiang Youli and Jiang Songshu to take it away.

Someone came to pick him up, but Wu Dazhuang didn't go there.

The things were taken away by Jiang Youli and Jiang Songshu, and Wu Dazhuang took out a bunch of copper coins.

"Girl, this is the remaining money, forty-eight cents. Originally, as you said, I thought of converting the remaining money into eggs for you, but we all went to the city to go to the market a few days ago, and there were also some eggs left at home. It’s not much, I really don’t know what I can give you in exchange for it, I only have these forty-eight cents left.”

Wu Dazhuang smiled naively.

Jiang Li took it and pushed it back, "Just think of it as the hard-earned money you spent on this trip. Brother Wu doesn't mind!"

Wu Dazhuang originally wanted to shirk it, but now he didn't accept it.

After chatting with Wu Dazhuang for a few more words, they learned some things about the city, and then the two waved goodbye.

Back at the carriage, Mr. Jiang, Jiang Youli and his wife, and brothers Jiang Songshu all had smiles on their faces. They hadn't seen so much food for a long time, and now they felt at ease when they saw the food.

"We have counted here, there are sixty steamed buns, one hundred and twenty steamed buns, and sixty-six eggs, which will definitely be enough for us to eat all the way to Qingzhou!"

Jiang Songshu said excitedly.

Now that they have a carriage, they might not be hungry all the way to Qingzhou.

"It's better to save some food. Who knows what it will be like when we get to Qingzhou." Mr. Jiang leaned on the carriage and looked over and said.

With enough food, I washed away the annoyance of having my original plan disrupted, and just found a place to rest on the way.

Now that they can sleep well and eat well, they can wait until they arrive in Qingzhou to see how the government settles them.

The Jiang family thought that the coming days would be full of hope, but they did not expect that the development of things later would deviate from the track.
