Chapter 112 Carriage
Although Li Mazi had no problems after drinking the filtered pond water, Jiang Jiang knew that people's physical constitutions cannot be generalized. Just because Li Mazi had no problems drinking it doesn't mean that children and the elderly will have no problems drinking it.
Jiang Jiang also suggested that the elderly and children in the village should drink the water that had been stored before, and the adults should drink the filtered pond water. This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.
With water, people are no longer so fussy. Those who have water storage at home are willing to exchange some filtered pond water with other families. Jiang Jiang's family also exchanged a lot of water.
However, after Jiang Jiang exchanged with others, he secretly replaced the pond water with the pure water in the space.
Her mission was to ensure that everyone in the family survived the famine safely, and she could not let anyone get sick due to her negligence.
In this way, the people in their village and the Zhou family emptied the entire pond of water, and each household had several buckets of clean drinking water.
The drinking water problem has been temporarily solved.
The originally lifeless team became energetic again. As long as they could hold on for another half a month, they would be able to reach Jiangzhou. With the help of the Li family, they would be able to find a place to start over after the famine.
Up to now, there is almost no shortage of people in Daxi Village. After moving to a new location, everyone has the confidence to start over.
As long as people are there, everywhere is Daxi Village.
Even Li Shuming began to research where there were fertile fields near Jiangzhou and where he could settle down.
Everyone’s idea is very simple, to live well and, on the basis of living, to live a better life.
Jiang Jiang also knew this, so she hoped that she could help everyone overcome the difficulties within her ability.
In the era she lived in, whenever there were natural disasters or man-made disasters, countless civilians and soldiers risked their lives for the country and the people. Inspired by them, Jiang Jiang naturally had a sense of responsibility.
But she also knew that helping others must be based on the premise of not hurting herself.
There is water in her space, which not only stores water for Daxi Village and the Zhou family to drink for several years, but there is also a slowly flowing stream in the planting space.
But she never intended to give the water directly to everyone to drink.
Because this is irresponsible to herself and her family.
And suddenly thinking of a way to filter the lake water to help everyone actually gave Jiang Jiang a greater sense of accomplishment.
With these buckets of water, if everyone uses them sparingly, they can almost last until the team reaches Jiangzhou.
And along the way, they might encounter other water sources.
"Li Sheng, we slaughtered the two chickens at home today. They haven't laid eggs for several days. Send one to the Li family and we'll eat one ourselves. Everyone has worked hard during this period, so we need to replenish their energy."
A few days ago, there were almost no living livestock in the village except for two cows, and it was not convenient for Jiang Jiang to subsidize the family with eggs under the guise of two hens.
So in the past few days, the two chickens in the house have not laid eggs.
Everyone was a little disappointed, but they could accept it. Compared with other hens in the village, their hens were already hardworking enough.
Every household was frugal with their food. Jiang Jiang's family was often criticized by villagers for giving some rice bran and husks to the hens. People had nothing to eat, but they were still thinking about feeding the chickens. It was the eggs laid by the hens in their family that kept some people hungry.
As for the hardworking old ox, Jiang Jiang would only occasionally feed it some grass from the space at night, under the cover of darkness.
The entire team, like a small boat, persisted in the rain even when it was about to capsize and everyone on board was about to die.
On the road to escape famine, there is always yellow earth, dead trees, barren mountains, numb refugees and debris on the roadside.
Everyone, including children, has become accustomed to it and even numb to it.
They had only one thought in their minds, to reach Jiangzhou alive.
"Mom, according to what the Zhou family said, if we continue walking for a few more hours, we will reach another pipeline."
Li Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had just gone to Zhou's house to deliver chickens. Everyone in the Zhou family was already very familiar with him. He mentioned this matter casually and then came back to tell Jiang Jiang.
The road they had been walking on during this period passed through the Valley of Broken Souls, an uninhabited area, and they hardly encountered any people. Most of them were alone or had fallen on the side of the road.
Once they enter the officialdom, they will definitely meet more people, which also means there will be more unknown dangers.
Sure enough, after they got on the official road, they met more people along the way.
There is no communication, no goodwill, only hostility and defensiveness.
The people from Daxi Village and the Zhou family were too lazy to bother with the cold reception and just found an open place to rest.
Seeing that the people of Daxi Village were well-armed and did not bully others, some lone refugees secretly followed their group. For a moment, no one dared to bully them.
Li Shuming naturally knew about this, but he did not order anyone to drive away those lone refugees. They had relied on the protection of the Zhou family to get here safely.
Just when everyone thought that everything was fine, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds was heard.
A horse-drawn carriage was speeding towards the people in Daxi Village.
Jiang Jiang picked up Li Pandi, who was closest to her, and kept asking the adults to take the child away.
As soon as the family left where they were sitting, the carriage hit them.
A bucket of water they had placed on the ground was knocked over, and the straw mat they had laid out was caught in the wheels, turning the newly made arrangement into a mess.
The driver pulled the reins hard to make the somewhat irritable horse stop.
Jiang Jiang took a deep breath. She also realized that the horses seemed to be stimulated by something, but fortunately they reacted in time and no one was injured.
If the people in the carriage sincerely apologized to them and compensated them, the matter would be over.
Jiang Jiang wanted to forgive others when possible, but others didn't think so.
After the carriage stopped, the people in it got off leisurely.
This is a young woman with an elegant hairpin, dressed in silk and satin, and with a proud look on her face.
She frowned slightly, glanced at the overturned bucket and the tattered straw mat, then looked at Jiang Jiang's family.
Just a bunch of uncouth people.
Just by looking at her expression, Jiang Jiang knew what the young woman was thinking.
A nameless fire rose from her heart.
Seeing that the woman wanted to just walk away, Jiang Jiang spoke up.
"Miss, you almost hurt someone and broke someone's things, but you didn't even say an apology?"
After hearing the words, the woman turned around.
She looked at Jiang Jiang, sneered, and pointed at herself.
"Do you know who I am?"
