Chapter 139 Hiding
Jiang Sanlang has always trusted his daughter unconditionally.
"Okay, let's go to the wild bamboo forest. I'll inform your eldest and second uncle. You and your mother can clean up quickly."
Jiang Sanlang said and went out.
Chun Niang said to her daughter: "Go pack some thick clothes and take them with you. The autumn night is cold and we don't know how long we will have to hide outside. Mother will load the steamed buns that we steamed yesterday onto the mule cart."
You also need to pack some rice and wheat, and you must also bring some golden ear seedlings, otherwise there will be no fungus after being harmed by others.
Ying Bao nodded, ran into her room, and put the two boxes and furniture directly into the cave.
Then he went to the bamboo shed where he grew golden fungus and collected all the golden fungus and snow fungus, including the wooden shelves in one pot.
Next, I just have to wait for Aniang to finish cleaning up so that she can finish it off.
A quarter of an hour later, Chun Niang loaded everything that needed to be packed onto the mule cart and was about to lock the front door of her home.
Yingbao took the lock and said, "I'll do it. Aniang, go and call Adi and the others back."
"Yes." Chun Niang handed the lock to her daughter and hurried to find Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu.
When Yingbao saw her grandma leaving, she immediately ran to the grain warehouse and collected all the food in the house. Then she ran to her grandma's house and collected all their wooden boxes and furniture.
Going to the kitchen again, I didn't even let go of the pots and pans, and I also took away the big table, chairs, and other things in the main room.
Look at the empty house and lock the door with satisfaction.
After locking the door, Yingbao asked her mother to take her younger brother away first, then she went to her father's mushroom shed and collected the remaining golden ear jars and wooden racks.
Then he went to the chicken shed, fished all the chickens into the chicken coop, and took them directly into the cave.
Then he put a saddle on Youyou and led him outside.
As long as he locked the courtyard door, no one would notice that the house was empty.
"Bao'er, let's go quickly, your uncle and uncle have already packed up." Chun Niang shouted anxiously.
Jiang Jie also shouted in the car: "Sister, come quickly."
Jiang Wu: "Sister, you are too lazy."
"Coming, coming." Yingbao ran over.
Jiang Dalang, Jiang Erlang and Jiang Cheng had already carried bedding and other items to the bamboo forest. Dani and Erni were with their grandparents, aunts and uncles. Each of them had a basket on their back and a big basket on their arm.
The baskets and baskets were filled with the most important items. As for the large plaques of grain, they were all piled on the mule cart.
Wei Zhan and Jiang Quan Yuanbao Huzi also followed behind everyone, more or less holding their own belongings in their hands.
"Oh, I should have dug a cellar if I had known. There is still a lot of food at home. How wonderful this is." Mrs. Jiang Liu looked back as she walked, with a distressed face.
Ying Bao blinked, but she couldn't take care of her eldest uncle and second uncle's family at the same time.
She dared to collect her own things because the key was in her hand. Another reason was that it was convenient. If she used her brain a little bit, her parents wouldn't find out. Even if they found out, she could get around it. But at her eldest uncle's and second uncle's house, she couldn't. It’s easy to manipulate.
Forget it, let's leave it at that, maybe the bandits won't be able to reach our house.
The Jiang family entered the depths of the wild bamboo forest one after another, and did not stop until they could no longer go deeper.
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang held a few bundles of bamboo and blocked the road. Then they said to the family: "You hide here, don't light a fire, and don't let the mules bark. Let's go out and have a look."
"Then you should be careful. If you see someone coming up, hide quickly and don't confront them." Old Man Jiang said worriedly: "Oh, I don't know when Sanlang will come back when he goes to the village. It will be bad if he encounters a bandit."
Jiang Sanlang went home to explain and went to the village again, saying he wanted to see the situation.
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang agreed and walked out.
At this time, it started to rain lightly.
Seeing this, Chun Niang and her sister-in-law quickly brought bamboos to build a low shed.
These bamboos were cut by Dani Chuchu and the others last time. Because there were too many, they were piled in the bamboo forest. They came in handy now.
"Yeah! Snake! Snake!" When Dani picked up the last pile of bamboo, she found two black snakes hidden underneath, which frightened her.
Jiang Cheng rushed over without saying a word and used the shovel in his hand to cut off the snake's body.
Looking at the snake's body twisting, he said: "Be careful, there are many snakes in the bamboo forest, don't get bitten by snakes."
Everyone nodded again and again, becoming more cautious.
Several adults started working together and quickly set up two bamboo sheds. Although they were a little short, they were no problem for shelter from the rain and rest.
The children were ordered to stay in the bamboo shed and were not allowed to go out. After Chun Niang fed the mule some fodder, she put a muzzle on its mouth to prevent it from barking unexpectedly.
After that, everyone squatted in the bamboo shed and listened quietly to what was going on outside.
Dani sighed: "There are still a lot of things in our house that have not been hidden, and Golden Ear has not been moved away. Dad and the others must have gone to hide Golden Ear."
Golden Ear hasn't grown up yet, so the bandits would naturally look down on those things, but if they burned down the bacteria shed, the family would suffer a great loss.
Ying Bao said nothing, she was a little worried about her father, Mrs. Wen and Sister Wen.
I don't know how long it took, but Yuanbao, Hu Zi, Wei Zhan, Jiang Jie, Jiang Wu and several other children began to doze off.
Chun Niang went to the mule cart and brought two large bamboo plaques, and placed them in two bamboo sheds. She also carried two quilts and let several children sleep in the bamboo plaques.
It was drizzling outside, and Jiang Sanlang and the others hadn't come back yet.
Chun Niang wanted to go out and take a look, but was stopped by Jiang Liu: "Don't go, Sanlang asked us to stay here and not wander around. Just wait for them with peace of mind."
"Yes, Chun Niang, you can't help much if you go out. You'd better take care of the children." Old Man Jiang tucked his grandchildren into bed.
Chun Niang had no choice but to hold back her temper and sit back in the bamboo shed.
After a while, Dani and Erni were also sleepy, and Chun Niang asked them to sleep on the mule cart. Although there was a lot of food piled on the mule cart, the two girls could still squeeze in.
Yingbao also followed her two cousins into the mule cart and squeezed into the pile of sacks.
There was a roof on the mule cart, and the light rain falling on it made a rustling sound, and Dani and Erni fell asleep quickly.
When Yingbao saw that her two cousins were asleep, she quietly slipped out of the carport while no one was paying attention. Xiaolu Youyou stood under the bamboo forest and saw her little master, blinking and looking over.
"Don't make any noise, let's go out quietly and take a look." Yingbao carefully climbed onto the deer's back and let it gently walk around the bamboo shed and run outside.
It was already noon, but the rain and fog were hazy, and Yingbao couldn't see clearly what was going on down the mountain.
There seemed to be a carriage parked at the door of my yard, and a man wearing a raincoat was talking to the people on the carriage.
From the looks of it, the carriage seemed to belong to Mrs. Wen, and it was Erbo Jiang who was talking to them.
Yingbao urged the deer over and saw that it was indeed Mrs. Wen's car. Sister Wen and her nanny were also sitting in the car. Her servant was sitting on the shaft of the car with a bamboo hat.
"Master, you didn't go to Beishan?" Yingbao asked.
Mrs. Wen stuck her head out and said, "The carriage can't get on the other side of Beishan. I think it's raining, so I just came to find you."
Yingbao: "We are all in the bamboo forest, why don't you go too." If a mule cart can enter the trail in the bamboo forest, so can a carriage.
Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "Thank you very much. Your second uncle also asked us to go to the bamboo forest, and he was about to show us the way."
Jiang Erlang: "It's hidden in the bamboo forest. If anything happens, we can abandon the car and go inside. Yingbao, please take Mrs. Wen to go first. Your uncle and I have to clean up the food at home. You bring the key." Are you ready? Go back and move your food and hide it."
He and his eldest brother have been carrying the family's grain and cotton and hiding them in the vegetable garden, because there is a shed there, which is used to store cabbage in winter, and it is now used to hide grain.
After all the grain and cotton were moved into the shed, they would get some straw and pile it up so that nothing could be seen from the outside.
As for whether they would be discovered, they didn't know. Anyway, hiding something was better than not hiding it at all. If the thieves were frustrated and couldn't find it, they would make money.
