Even without them saying anything, Lu Shiyan was also planning to go and rescue people.
He put down the oxcart and was about to run away, but Jiang Tangtang grabbed him from inside the oxcart, saying, "I'll go with you too."
Jiang Tangtang had already gotten off Lu Shiyan's shoulder.
Although they were husband and wife in name, they were actually just strangers.
She doesn't have the nerve to sit on his shoulders the whole time!
"Shi Yan's wife, you should know when to stop making a scene. What time is it? Why are you still causing trouble? Let go of your husband and let him go save people." Fang Dalin sternly reprimanded Jiang Tangtang.
"Why are you yelling at me? You're not going to save your own daughter and wife, but instead you're ordering my husband around? Who do you think you are? I'm worried about my husband, so what's wrong with me going with him?"
As Jiang Tangtang spoke, she glanced sideways at the Fang family.
Fang Dalin had three brothers in total. Besides Fang Dalin, there were three other brothers. But at this moment, the others all shrank their necks, as if they hadn't heard Fang Peiru's cries for help at all.
Meanwhile, the women of the Fang family cursed Fang Peiru, calling her a troublemaker who acted like a spoiled princess and wandered around aimlessly during the escape from famine. They worried that she might attract thieves and cause them harm.
Meeting Jiang Tangtang's gaze, Fang Dalin's elder brother, Fang Junmu, said matter-of-factly, "If we had your man's abilities, we would be the first to rush up and save people right now. But the problem is we don't have those abilities, so it would be useless for us to go."
"Let's go!" Jiang Tangtang ignored them, grabbed a piece of clothing from her bag, and pulled Lu Shiyan along.
Lu Shiyan glanced at the clothes in his hand and roughly understood why she had followed him. He put his arm around Jiang Tangtang's waist, and in a moment, the two were already several miles away.
Is this the legendary light-footed skill?
As she observed the changing scenery around her, Jiang Tangtang felt as if she were in a martial arts film.
In just a few moments, the two arrived at the place where Fang Peiru had called for help.
At this moment, Fang Peiru had already been captured by the refugees who had arrived from behind. The first thing these refugees, who were used to robbing, did after capturing someone was to steal all their food and water.
What happens to those who are captured depends on the character of the robbery gang. For example, the gang that Li Shi and his group formed only sought money; after robbing the refugees, they would let them go.
And then there are the particularly brutal ones who, not only steal things, will also eat women and children like sheep.
Some of the robbers, besides eating two-legged sheep, were also lecherous.
The robbery gang that Fang Peiru and Lu Cuilan encountered was the last type: lecherous and fond of kidnapping women and children to be eaten.
When Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang arrived, several men had tackled Fang Peiru to the ground and were about to tear off her clothes.
Although Jiang Tangtang disliked Fang Peiru, she couldn't stand these beasts who bullied women even more. She pursed her lips and shouted out a line often seen in TV dramas, "If you don't want to die, put the person down and get out of here."
The robbers were so engrossed in bullying Fang Peiru that they didn't notice how Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang got there.
At this moment, seeing a pretty boy with a beautiful young woman by his side, they all burst into lewd laughter.
One of the men, a man with a full beard, leered at Jiang Tangtang and began to make lewd remarks, "Little lady, this pretty boy can't satisfy you, you want to find me—"
Lu Shiyan suddenly made a move, and before the man could finish speaking, his eyes widened and he fell straight down.
The robbers' expressions changed when they saw the wound on their comrade's neck.
If Lu Shiyan severed his accomplice's neck with a single blow, it would mean he was just a brute with superhuman strength. If they gathered all their accomplices and gave it their all, they might still have a chance.
But his accomplice only had a small cut on his neck, and he had acted so quickly that they hadn't even seen his movements.
All of this shows that this pretty boy is a master of internal martial arts, and no one combined could defeat such a master.
The men took off running, but how could Lu Shiyan let such scoundrels escape? He moved swiftly, his pig-slaughtering knife flashing in the air.
In just a short while, all the thugs had their throats slit.
"Cousin!" Fang Peiru finally snapped out of her panic. Her eyes lit up with an unprecedented light as she lunged at Lu Shiyan. "I knew it! You have feelings for me."
Lu Shiyan dodged in a flash, and Fang Peiru lost her footing and fell flat on her face.
Jiang Tangtang wanted to laugh, but felt it wasn't the right time, so she held it in with difficulty. She handed her the clothes and said, "Put these on quickly."
Although Fang Peiru's clothes weren't completely torn by the thugs thanks to Lu Shiyan's timely arrival, they were still in a terrible state.
Let alone in ancient times, even in modern times, if she went out looking like this, people would probably misunderstand and think that she had been bullied and lost her innocence.
She was unusually kind, but Fang Peiru glared at Jiang Tangtang fiercely and said, "Are you deliberately trying to make a fool of me? I don't want your tattered clothes."
Jiang Tangtang remained silent, taking it or leaving it.
She turned her head and took Lu Shiyan's arm, "Husband, let's go save Aunt!"
Fang Peiru also remembered Lu Cuihua at this moment, and hurriedly got up and ran towards the place where Lu Cuihua had been robbed.
Lu Cuihua was old, and having been careless on the journey of fleeing famine, her skin was dry and yellow. Unlike Fang Peiru, a fresh-faced young woman who wore brightly colored clothes and saved her water every day to keep her face clean.
The robbers had no designs on her. After hearing their accomplice's screams, they stole her money and food and ran away.
By the time Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang arrived, the robbers had already vanished.
When Lu Cuilan saw Lu Shiyan arrive, she was as if she had seen a savior. She grabbed Lu Shiyan and said, "San, hurry up and chase after those thieves and help your aunt get the things back."
The rewards she received while working for a wealthy family, the silver and jewelry she had painstakingly accumulated, and the piece of meat she had always been reluctant to eat and kept close to her body—all of it was stolen. What was she going to do?
Without these things, how will they settle down?
Lu Shiyan lowered his gaze, which fell on Lu Cuihua's dirty hands. Those dirty hands were gripping his wrist.
A dirty handprint suddenly appeared on his fair wrist. A visible hint of displeasure appeared on his face.
To avoid getting his clothes dirty, he even controlled his strength when killing people, so as to prevent blood from splattering on him.
How could he bear to have Lu Cuilan's dirty hands grab him?
Lu Cuilan noticed his displeasure and awkwardly let go of his hand. "I'm your own aunt, you must help me find my things."
Lu Shiyan raised his hand to brush the dirt off his wrist and asked calmly, "Which direction did you run off in?"
