Chapter 108: Prepare to Separate
Jiang Wenming came out from the corner, put away the white cloth, and walked over to give each of them a pill. "Take the antidote! Otherwise, you will see that I am either a ghost or a bull-headed horse-faced demon."
Jiang Jiyuan swallowed the pill while trying to hold Jiang Wenming's hand while punching him on the horse's head.
Ma Chao looked at the ghost with disheveled hair and a long tongue opposite him and heard his voice was Jiang Wenming's. He turned his head to look at Jiang Jiyuan next to him and unconsciously took a step to the side.
"what happened?"
Jiang Jiyuan had just swallowed the pill and the effect of the pill had not yet taken effect. When he saw Ma Chao retreating, he actually looked like the Monkey King Sun Wukong when he just emerged from the stone, covered in dust. He couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What do you think I look like now?" Jiang Jiyuan asked Ma Chao.
“Puchi, hahahaha…” Ma Chao couldn’t help it anymore.
In Jiang Jiyuan's eyes, it was just a monkey jumping up and down and laughing at him.
"Brother Ma, now I see you as a monkey jumping up and down."
Ma Chao's laughter suddenly stopped. "I see you are a pig. Although you are wearing clothes, you have a boar's head."
"Hahaha..." Jiang Wenming held his stomach and laughed when he heard what they said.
"Stop laughing. The more the big-tongued ghost laughs, the uglier he looks!" the two said in unison.
"Uh..." Jiang Wenming couldn't laugh anymore.
After waiting for a while, the effect of the medicine took effect, Jiang Jiyuan and Ma Chao recovered and stood up. Jiang Wenming took them to see the pile of gold nuggets.
Ma Chao rubbed his eyes with his hands. "Has my hallucinogen not yet dissolved? Why do I still see a pile of gold?"
"Brother Ma, this is the truth. I brought you here to load these things and send them away overnight. This place should have been targeted by someone, so we have to hurry."
Jiang Jiyuan handed him the two cloth bags in his hand and said, "Brother Ma, you pack the bags, and uncle will take care of delivering them to the dog cave. I will load them onto the ox cart."
"Then let's get to work!" Ma Chao picked up the gold bars and put them into the bag.
While they were busy here, Jiang Jiyun was also very busy at home. The first time she gave Xiaobao a bath, she almost flooded the room.
“Ahhh…” Xiaobao slapped the water excitedly.
Jiang Jiyun's face and body were already wet. Master Jiang Liu laughed out loud when he saw this. Yan Xuyang tried to hold back his laughter and picked up Xiaobao from the basin.
Xiaobao suddenly saw his body getting farther and farther away from the water and cried out in panic.
"Stop screaming. I'll wipe you clean and help you get dressed. Look at you, you've become so fat that wrinkles appear on your face. The child of Aunt Taohua in the village looks like a kitten, but you look at me, you're just a piece of meat." Jiang Jiyun wiped him clean with a towel.
“Ahhh…” Xiaobao stretched out his hands and tried to grab his sister’s towel.
"Definitely..."
Jiang Jiyun suddenly tickled Xiaobao's armpits.
"Giggle..."
Xiaobao was laughing so hard.
Jiang Liuye wiped his eyes and said, "Big brother, Third brother, Fourth brother, your descendants are still alive now. Your spirits in heaven must bless them to be safe and sound!"
The next day when Jiang Jiyuan and his friends came back, a couple, one big and one small, were practicing Kung Fu in the yard.
"That little guy doesn't have enough strength, but his posture is enough to scare people. Xuyang has trained well, but it's a pity that he lacks murderous intent." Ma Chao commented while watching the two men fighting.
"Xiao Yun, we are back!" Jiang Wenming got out of the car.
Du Wanqing came out of the house and saw the quilt on the carriage, so she went over to help move it to the bamboo bed in the yard.
"Wife, why don't you move back into the house?" Jiang Jiyuan asked, putting down the quilt in his hand.
Du Wanqing looked at him speechlessly, "This quilt has probably not been used for a long time, and you guys are pulling it around. How can I cover myself with it without washing it?"
"Brother Ma, uncle, breakfast is in the pot." Du Wanqing said to the person who was washing his face by the well.
Jiang Wenming didn't see Uncle Jiang Liu and Xiaobao, so he asked, "Jiyuan's wife, where are Uncle Liu and Xiaobao?"
"Sixth Grandfather carried him to the headman's house, saying that he had something to do."
Du Wanqing put the quilt cover and quilt lining in the basin to wash them. She asked Yan Xuyang to come over and help her take the cotton batting out to dry in the sun.
Master Jiang Liu came back dragging a piece of tree trunk in one hand, and Xiaobao kept moaning all the way.
Yan Xuyang came over to move the linden tree back to the yard, and Jiang Liuye told them, "An old craftsman will come in the afternoon to do the carpentry work and clean up the yard."
"Sixth Grandpa, what do you want to do?" Jiang Jiyuan asked while eating a black-faced steamed bun.
"I want to make a hollow crutch to put the things in the room, and put all the belongings we bought for the house in it." Master Jiang Liu walked into the yard and put Xiaobao down.
"By the way, nearly twenty people from the village just left. They went to find XSJ to join the army." Uncle Jiang Liu told his family.
Jiang Jiyuan nodded, "As long as they are volunteers, the troops will accept them."
"Oh! When will it end?" Mr. Jiang Liu sighed.
Jiang Jiyun and Yan Xuyang took off their shoes and stepped on the quilt cover in the basin. Jiang Jiyun was looking at the soapberry clip while stepping, as she didn't want to get her feet pricked.
Three days passed peacefully. Master Jiang Liu looked at the crutch and shook it hard, but he heard no sound from inside.
"Sixth Grandpa, is it safe for you and Uncle Wenming to go first?" Jiang Jiyuan was worried when he heard that they were going to go first.
Ma Chao looked at the cellar he had dug. Jiang Wenming was tamping the earth underneath, and when it was solid, he would cover it with wooden boards and put the grain on top.
When he heard what the grandfather and grandson said, "I will go with them. When things are stable, I will ask someone from the organization to contact you and give you the address."
"Brother Ma, you're injured!" Jiang Jiyuan looked at his injured leg.
"It's just that the crutch comes in handy. This way, no one will be suspicious." Ma Chao walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
"We will set out early tomorrow morning. Once we get to H City, we have to find a way to enter the concession. Once we are inside, we have to find someone to buy a house for us. That won't be something that can be done in a short period of time. Otherwise, will they have to follow us and sleep on the streets?" Master Jiang Liu touched his crutch.
Jiang Jiyuan agreed as he looked at his sister playing in the water. She worked so hard to make money just to buy a big house.
Jiang Jiyun: Playing with water? Who is playing with water? She is washing the quilt cover while doing her work!
"Let's have a good meal tonight. We have salted fish at home. Brother Xuyang and I will go see if we can catch some wild rabbits and pheasants." Jiang Jiyun came out of the basin.
When Yan Xuyang heard that they were going to catch rabbits and pheasants, he came out of the basin and went to prepare things.
"Don't cause any trouble when you two go out, okay?" Jiang Jiyuan felt a chill down his spine when he heard his sister was going out.
Jiang Jiyun, carrying a small backpack waiting to be filled with pheasant eggs, replied perfunctorily, "I know! I know!"
The two men came to the woods closest to the village. Yan Xuyang held up his homemade bow and arrow and said to Jiang Jiyun, "I'm going to look in the woods to see if there are any rabbit holes, and by the way, to see if there are any traces of pheasants."
Jiang Jiyun nodded and said, "Then I'll take a look at whether there are any edible wild vegetables."
The two men had just walked in the woods for a while when they heard someone calling for help.
“Help! Help…help me…”
