Chapter 325 326. Save People

"Hurry up and call the village head to ask. Who would go up the mountain at this time?" Jin Qianqian frowned and hurriedly ordered, "By the way, ask him to find more people and rescue them first."

Jin Qianqian didn't think that the few guards she brought with her could go into the mountains where they were unfamiliar with the situation. Even though this forest belonged to the manor, the Daqing Mountain behind it was so deep that it was impossible to see the bottom.

Jiang Shuiniu also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he asked the other guards to protect Jin Qianqian, and he ran towards the manor without stopping.

"It must be the kid from the Xie family," Li Zhuangtou stamped his feet, and without explaining to Jiang Shuiniu, he hurriedly ran and shouted, "Everyone, hurry up and take your weapons, the second kid from the Xie family has gone into the mountains."

After a while, many people came running out, each holding a machete or a hoe in their hands, "Boss Li, why did Xie Ermao go into the mountains again?"

"He must be trying to avenge his father and brother. I wonder if he ran into the wolf pack again."

"What if he encounters a pack of wolves? Won't we all die if we go over there?" Some people stopped.

"At that time, his father and his brother, who were both highly skilled in martial arts, were unable to withstand him. For those of us who only know how to farm, it is better not to take the risk."

Li Zhuangtou, "Why are you saying this now? Don't forget that you have always sought help from the Xie family when you had difficulties over the years. Do you want to see their only child gone?

Besides, it's broad daylight now, and there are so many of us, we can scare those beasts away even if we just scare them."

After saying this, Li Zhuangtou didn't care about them and led the way up the mountain.

When passing by Jin Qianqian, he didn't even have time to say hello, but the villagers all looked at him curiously. However, Jin Qianqian was already surrounded by several old women.

Jin Qianqian looked at the guards still standing nearby and said, "You guys should go over and take a look. If you can, please help."

Jiang Daniu hesitated. Lin Dapeng had already gone to protect the young master, and the madam must stay here without anyone, otherwise the master would be the first to not forgive them when he returned.

Jin Qianqian naturally saw his dilemma, "I'm going to go forward and take Luo Luo with me, and then I'll go back to the manor to wait for you. You can follow me and take a look, and be careful to protect your own safety."

This is her own farm after all, and Jin Qianqian doesn't want to see anyone die on the first day she takes over.

Jiang Shuiniu could vaguely see where Lin Dapeng was standing. He knew that the distance between the two sides was not far, and they were gradually walking towards the village entrance, so they were within a safe range.

Jin Qianqian immediately took action and led her men to slowly approach the children in front. Jiang Shuiniu and the others also chased them towards the mountain.

Li Zhuangtou took the lead and ran in front, shouting, "Ermao, Xie Ermao, where are you?"

"Answer me quickly. This mountain is so big, where can I find you?"

He shouted again and again, but the only response he got was the echo from the deep mountains.

Jiang Shuiniu, who was chasing behind, pointed to the direction where the sound was just heard and said, "We just heard the sound coming from that place, move to the side."

Li Zhuangtou turned around without hesitation, and the tenant farmer behind him asked curiously, "Li Zhuangtou, where does this new owner come from?"

Li Zhuangtou looked at Jiang Shuiniu apologetically. This kid is really something. He didn't even consider the occasion when asking this question. The boss's people are still standing here.

"Our master is this year's top scholar and now holds the sixth rank in the Hanlin Academy. His wife is also an imperial merchant appointed by the emperor himself." Jiang Shuiniu said with his head held high.

Even though the master is only a sixth-rank official in the capital now, no one in the entire Upper Capital dares to look down on him.

"That's amazing," someone exclaimed. "I just saw that lady, she doesn't look very old. Is the new number one scholar also young?"

Jiang Shuiniu, "My master is only in his early twenties, so he is young."

"Hurry, there seems to be movement ahead." Li Zhuangtou suddenly exclaimed. Everyone stopped chatting and held their breath, staring ahead.

Unexpectedly, the first thing that came into everyone's sight was a wolf's corpse. Some people even wanted to turn around and run back, but their legs were a little weak.

"Ermao," Li Zhuangtou lowered his voice, and one could hear his trembling voice, "If you are here, let me know."

"Uncle, ..."

"It seems to be in front of you on the right," Jiang Shuiniu heard it clearly this time. He held the sword tightly in his hand and walked directly in front of him. The following scene made him unforgettable for his whole life.

I saw a child covered in blood, lying on the corpses of several wolves, and not a single one of the wolves was intact.

The pungent smell of blood also alerted Jiang Shuiniu. He pushed Li Zhuangtou, who was also stunned, and said, "Hurry up and get someone to take the child away. The smell of blood here is too strong."

It’s not that he was disgusted and didn’t want to take action, but the boy’s eyes were staring at the sword in his hand fiercely. He knew that he was blood-thirsty. The fierce look in his eyes made Jiang Shuiniu a little afraid.

"Ermao," Li Zhuangtou didn't have these concerns. He ran over directly without noticing the child's temporary defense. However, due to physical reasons, he soon collapsed again.

“I’ve told you a long time ago, even if you want to avenge your parents, you have to wait until you’re older.

Look at what you have done to yourself. Tell Uncle Li quickly if you feel uncomfortable anywhere."

When Xie Ermao saw the familiar face, he finally relaxed, but he had no strength left and slowly closed his eyes.

"Ermao," Li Zhuangtou was anxious, wondering what happened to the child?

Jiang Shuiniu, who was standing by, was calmer. He walked over to check his pulse and said, "He must have just fainted. Let's take him down the mountain to see a doctor."

He looked around and said, "Take the child away quickly. This is not a place to stay for long."

"Hey," Li Zhuangtou, who was indecisive for the moment, walked over, picked up the child, and stumbled down the mountain.

Jiang Shuiniu couldn't bear to watch, so he handed the sword to his companion next to him, walked over, grabbed the child and put him on his back, "Let's go."

Naturally, the other tenants did not dare to stay here for long, but in their panic, they did not forget to carry the corpses of the wolves on their shoulders. After all, they were all meat.

Jin Qianqian and a few others also came to the place where Gu Benluo and others were picking wild vegetables, and hurried back to the village with a few children.

When they arrived at the village, they found many people gathered at the gate of the village, and the children quickly found their families.

Jin Qianqian didn't know what was happening on the mountain, and didn't want to face the gazes of so many people, so she took the child back to the carriage and waited.

Gu Benluo held the few wild vegetables he had harvested, and looked a little aggrieved. "Mom, these vegetables are not even half of what Tudun and his friends harvested."

Jin Qianqian touched his head and pointed at the cakes that were placed in the cabinet before she came. "Next time, when mom brings you here to help them pick wild vegetables, you can bring these cakes over to share with them."
