"I have also escaped from famine, aren't you afraid..."

Jiang Huaixu didn't hear clearly what was said next, and she had no interest in listening. The look she gave Wang Dacai was even colder than the cold wind in the night.

She stood up from the wall, stretched her numb hands and feet, and walked slowly towards Wang Dacai.

The two people who were snuggling together and about to hug each other had no idea that a small figure was approaching them from behind. They were still talking sweet and lovey-dovey words until they heard footsteps.

"Who?!" Wang Dacai looked back suddenly.

Jiang Huaixu, who was discovered, suddenly ran towards the two of them, then jumped up and punched Wang Dacai in the face.

Wang Dacai felt a pain on his face and two teeth flew out of his mouth. The soft and fragrant jade was in his arms one moment, and the next he was lying on the cold ground, twisting and rolling.

Lin Jiuer was so frightened by the sudden change that she screamed. After screaming, she saw that Wang Dacai couldn't even get up, so she was scared and wanted to run away. Before running, she didn't forget to pick up half a sack of five-spice powder.

"If you dare to run, I will break your legs." Jiang Huaixu said softly.

Lin Jiuer heard it clearly. It was clearly a simple sentence, but it frightened her so much that her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Huaixu walked over to Wang Dacai and squatted down. "Wang Dacai, your name is not good. You are destined to lose money."

"You...what do you want to do?" Wang Dacai looked at Jiang Huaixu in horror, his body shaking, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or fear.

Jiang Huaixu didn't want to waste any more time talking to him, so she grabbed the man's collar and was about to leave. When she passed by Lin Jiuer, she glanced at the man. Although it was dark around her, she could still see the man's face clearly.

She has an average appearance, not particularly beautiful. She must have dressed up carefully before coming here, and there is a familiar scent of powder wafting from her body.

"Grab the five-spice powder and follow me."

Lin Jiuer looked at Wang Dacai in surprise, who was struggling while being held by the hand of the little girl in front of her. She felt extremely regretful that she had been frightened by a single sentence just now.

Besides, was this little girl acting silly? How could he possibly follow her? She couldn't possibly chase him like this, so it wasn't too late to run away now.

As soon as the thought came to her mind, it grew like weeds. She walked slowly to the sack, while constantly keeping an eye on the dark shadow not far away, and then ran as fast as she could in one direction.

After running only two steps, she was hit hard on the leg. Her legs went limp and she knelt down. The pain and fear made her burst into tears instantly, and she sobbed.

"I'll tell you again, grab the sack and follow me, or I'll have your eyes next time."

The crying stopped abruptly.

Not long after, Jiang Huaixu returned home carrying a person in his hand and someone dragging a sack beside him.

At home, Jiang Zhengmao was walking back and forth restlessly. When he saw Jiang Huaixu, he immediately came up to him.

After seeing clearly who Jiang Huaixu was holding, Jiang Zhengmao immediately called out Jiang Sanlang and others and arranged for them to notify every household.

After everyone left, only Jiang Zhengmao, Jiang Erlang and Jiang Zhou were left.

"Are they the ones who stole our five-spice powder?" Jiang Zhou pointed at the two of them and asked.

Lin Jiuer suddenly let go of the sack in her hand as if frightened, and fell to the ground, covering her face with her hands and crying: "Wuwuwuwu, it's not me, it's really not me, wuwuwuwu——"

"This...this..." Jiang Zhou didn't expect that just asking a question would cause such a big reaction from Lin Jiuer, and he stuttered for a moment.

Jiang Erlang walked around behind Jiang Huaixu and looked at Wang Dacai, "He must have stolen it."

Wang Dacai just kept shaking his head and was speechless.

Jiang Erlang was curious and went forward to check. He found that the man had a piece of ice stuffed in his mouth, and there was blood in his mouth, with blood constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth.

He looked up at Jiang Huaixu.

Jiang Huaixu explained, "He was howling the whole way and was very annoying, so I stuffed a piece of ice into his mouth."

Wang Dacai still wanted to vomit it out, but was finally suppressed by force.

Jiang Erlang stood up helplessly and took the hat and gloves that Jiang Huaixu had taken off.

Only Jiang Zhengmao was worried. "If his parents come and see him like this, they'll probably make a scene."

Jiang Huaixu's expression was cold. "Let them make a fuss! I'm afraid they won't make a fuss! Even if they don't make a fuss, I will make a fuss anyway."

Jiang Zhengmao knew at a glance that there was more to the story than just stealing the five-spice powder, so he kept silent and said no more.

Jiang Zhou, who hadn't yet developed the same look as his father, asked again, "Second cousin, can you tell me what's going on with these two people?"

Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhou was kicked in the butt by his father, and he staggered and almost fell.

"You can't stop talking, can you? You read all day long, and I think you've read so much that it's all gone to waste!"

Jiang Zhou covered his butt and hid behind Jiang Erlang, saying aggrievedly: "It's not that I want to read..."

"If your uncle hears you, he will definitely kick you again." Jiang Erlang said calmly.

Jiang Zhou muttered quietly for a while, then suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of dogs, where's your dog Fu Tuan'er? Why haven't I seen him in a long time?"

Jiang Erlang was stunned, frowned and thought for a while, and found that he had not seen Fu Tuan for a long time. Usually, he would stay in his room and study hard, and Fu Tuan would sneak into his room to bask in the sun.

He looked at Jiang Huaixu and was about to ask something, but when he saw someone coming in at the door, he put the question aside for the time being.

The villagers came over one after another, and when they saw the scene in the yard, they began to whisper.

Lin Jiuer covered her face and didn't move, while Wang Dacai kept making "Pooh, Pooh, Pooh" sounds and spitting out the blood in his mouth.

Jiang Huaixu was originally standing in front of him, but now he was ten feet away.

"Oh my God! What trouble have you caused again, you bastard? Explain it to everyone quickly!" As soon as Wang Xu entered the yard, she rushed towards Wang Dacai. Old man Wang glanced at Wang Dacai with a gloomy face and said nothing.

Jiang Zhengmao raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said loudly: "The person who stole the five-spice powder has been caught. He is caught red-handed and cannot deny it. Brother Wang, what do you think?"

Old man Wang said in a muffled voice: "My family's Dacai is not a thief, there must be a misunderstanding!"

"Yes, yes, there must be a misunderstanding!" Wang Xu quickly responded, "We've been with you all this way, no matter how hard it was, we never complained. Now that we're finally living a good life, how could we do something like this?"

When she heard this, some people were unhappy. "What do you mean by traveling with us? Can you survive if you don't come with us?"

"We saved you, we don't owe you anything! You still have complaints? Would we die on the road if you and your family were there?"

"If you don't want to stay here, go back to your Yangjiao Mountain!"

······

When Old Man Wang saw that things were not going well, he quickly defended himself, "That's not what I meant. This stupid woman is tongue-tied and can't speak! She's offended everyone. I apologize to everyone on her behalf!"

Wang Xu, who was stunned for a while, also said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Everyone's anger subsided temporarily.
