Nowadays, there are many refugees in the mountains. With her small, still-grown body, Mimi is no match for a group of people who look like wolves and tigers when they see flesh. She might even be captured and made into soup.
Zhao Dashu and Gousheng arrived, panting heavily, and bent over to catch their breath.
Jiang Yimian scolded Mimi a few more times, and just as she stuffed the little one into the basket on her back, she encountered four people.
To be precise, there were five people.
Two of the men were carrying a person covered in blood, whose condition was unclear, and it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female.
The four men were clearly taken aback. One of them, a man with a stubble beard, looked at Zhao Dashu and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, isn't this Brother Zhao? It's been so long! I thought you'd been fed to the wild animals!"
Zhao Dashu was also startled. He scratched his head and then laughed awkwardly, saying, "It's Brother Zhu! What are you doing? Where did you all come from? How did you get so badly injured? Are you dead?"
The man called Brother Pillar just shook his head and said helplessly, "They're dead. The people who just came back insist that the mountain stronghold down below is their village, and they caused a ruckus there. A lot of people died, it was bloody and terrifying."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhuzi immediately began to complain, "Who says otherwise? Even if it used to be their village, it's now occupied by bandits. How dare they go alone to provoke them? They really don't want to live."
I heard that nearly twenty people went, but only five came back, and all of them were seriously injured.
And so, this one bled to death, causing panic among the people on the mountain. They shouted that they should be driven away, saying that the smell of blood would attract wild animals.
He is currently leading the villagers to temporarily manage the people on the mountain, fearing that someone might cause trouble. Now that this person is dead, he has no choice but to bring a few people to bury him.
Zhao Dashu then realized what was happening. He looked at the blood-covered man and trembled involuntarily. Luckily, the three brothers had gone into the small depression and hadn't gone near the mountain stronghold.
Otherwise, they might end up the same way.
He asked a few more casual questions and then left.
Wang Zhuzi called out to him.
