Hiding in the bushes, Yun Qi was thinking about whether to go out, but he heard Jiang Huaixu say, "My brother Yun Qi is directionally challenged."

Qiao Da looked at her in confusion.

Jiang Huaixu explained, "I just didn't know the way. Brother Yunqi joined us halfway. No one else knew about this except me, and he didn't let me tell anyone else."

Qiao Da's doubts disappeared, but Qiao Er still felt something was strange. However, looking at Jiang Huaixu's childish face, he felt that he was worrying too much.

"Well, little girl, how about you take us brothers to see your master? We want to exchange some food with you."

Jiang Huaixu nodded seriously, "Okay, come with me."

She walked in front, heading down the mountain, licking the candy in her hand from time to time.

Qiao Da and Qiao San fell to the back. Qiao Da asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything wrong?"

Qiao San shook his head. "Not yet. She's just an ordinary little girl. Don't worry, big brother. We'll just follow this group and find out their details. Then we'll attack them from both sides in the valley. No matter how many people there are, we'll have to kill them all here."

The tips of Jiang Huaixu's ears twitched and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

On the land soaked with blood, a figure jumped lightly from a tree, and at the same time, a black, white and brown mountain cat also jumped out.

Jiang Erlang was surprised that Fu Tuan did not follow Jiang Huaixu. Just as he was about to pick up the bobcat, he saw the bobcat running towards a bush and meowing after entering the bush.

He didn't hesitate and immediately followed, "Jiang Erlang, what are you doing?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Erlang immediately said, "Let's go back quickly!"

Yun Qi and Jiang Erlang did not take the same route as Jiang Huaixu. Instead, they made a detour and ran down the mountain without stopping. After much haste, they finally caught up with Jiang Huaixu.

The two have always been steady, but this time they were a little reckless.

Jiang Erlang ignored his family's questions and just asked everyone to put away their bows and arrows.

When Jiang Huaixu led Qiao Da and the other six back to the camp, they saw the villagers busily dealing with wild boars. Before that, none of the villagers were carrying bows and arrows.

"Uncle Village Chief, I'm here with guests!" she called out crisply.

"Xu Jie'er, who did you bring with you?"

Jiang Zhengmao walked up to the group and asked, "Who are you..."

Jiang Huaixu explained: "They are hunters from the mountains, and they want to exchange some food with us."

"Yes, we were almost out of food in the mountains. We met this girl while hunting and wanted to exchange some food with the people in your village."

Jiang Zhengmao looked them up and down, "What do you want to exchange for?"

These people have nothing in their hands except the bows on their backs. What should they exchange for?

He looked at Jiang Huaixu in confusion, but saw the girl winking at him, obviously winking at him.

Hiding the bow and arrow in advance, and now not daring to speak to his face? Jiang Zhengmao was shocked, almost certain that the six people in front of him were not good people.

Qiao Da and Qiao San exchanged a glance, and Qiao San hurriedly said, "The prey we hunted is all in their habitat up in the mountains. Now I just want to ask how long you will stay here?"

"This..." Jiang Zhengmao said in embarrassment, "We are leaving tomorrow."

"Where are we going?" Qiao Wu asked impatiently.

Everyone present could hear the urgency in his tone.

Qiao Da glared at him and said quickly, "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised. Lao Wu is always impatient in everything he does. He is also worried that you will fall into a bandit's den. Bandits are rampant in this area. The government has suppressed them countless times, but they can't do anything to them. It's really...harmful!"

"I've heard there are bandits here, but there's nothing we can do about it. There are too many refugees on the official road, so we chose this route. With so many of us, the bandits might have to think twice before robbing us."

Qiao Da curled his lips inwardly, but remained silent on his face as he continued to inquire about the news.

Qiao Er, who had been thinking hard, suddenly realized something was wrong - how did this little girl know that the person going up the mountain was called Yun Qi? He had never mentioned the boy's clothes or appearance from beginning to end...

Qiao Er felt a chill on his back. He looked around in panic and found that the group of villagers had surrounded them, with a forced look of ease on their faces.

He subconsciously grabbed Jiang Huaixu, strangled her neck, and shouted: "Brother, we fell into their trap!"

Qiao Da and the others were caught off guard by the sudden change. They looked around and found that the villagers who were chatting and laughing before had taken out wooden sticks, axes, kitchen knives...

Turning his head and seeing the 'hostage' Jiang Huaixu in Qiao Er's hand, his tense body relaxed instantly, "Waiter, well done..." Beautifully done!

Before he could finish his compliment, he watched helplessly as the waiter was lifted up by one of the arms by the girl, flipped over, and thrown heavily to the ground.

In front of him, the village chief who had been speaking to him in a kind voice was now looking at them with pity.

Qiao Da felt that his identity as a bandit was not real, and the group of people in front of him seemed more like bandits.

His mind was blank when he heard Qiao San yelling, "Brother, run quickly..."

Qiao San was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat before he could finish his sentence. A crossbow arrow brushed past his forehead and hit Qiao Wu who was drawing his bow and shooting at the villagers.

He slowly turned his head to look at the source of the arrow. A young man holding a crossbow was walking towards them. A warm current surged from his body.

A quarter of an hour later, the six men were tied up and thrown to the ground, shivering.

Jiang Huaixu touched the neck that had been strangled before. The man named Qiao Er was very cruel, and she still felt a foreign body in her neck.

"Come on, you dare to bring those people back? Aren't you worried that they'll knock you away with clubs? How can you be so bold?"

Zheng Li'niang complained softly while carefully applying medicine to Jiang Huaixu.

Jiang Huaixu raised his chin, unable to look directly at Zheng Li Niang. "Sister-in-law, you can't get a tiger cub without risking it. Although these people are not tiger cubs, they are still very useful. We want to know the situation in the valley, and we can't do without their help."

"They? Will they help us?" Zheng Li Niang asked in confusion.

"Yes." Jiang Huaixu answered firmly.
