Shortly after they left, a group of people appeared at the place where they left.
The man in black stepped forward to investigate and finally returned to the leader.
"Master, there are indeed traces of those bandits here. Are we going to take them?"
"It's just that there are villagers down there... If our people take action, the villagers down there will probably be killed."
The man in black remained calm and his tone was very indifferent.
The leading man slowly raised his head, revealing a handsome face.
The man was dressed in a green brocade robe. He was thin but strong. His eyebrows were like knife blades, slanting into his temples, revealing a murderous aura.
Hearing his men's words, his hawk-like eyes moved, his lips pursed slightly, his fingertips fell on the hilt of the knife at his waist, stroking it gently, and after a while, he spoke.
"Wait and see. If there's any movement in the mountains, kill them on the spot, no matter the cost."
"Then... the people?"
"It doesn't matter whether you live or die."
The man in black straightened his back and responded quickly.
Huo Jiuyu's dark eyes fell on the direction where Jiang Yue had just left. That woman, dressed in local clothes, could actually get so close to the two bandits and even order them around.
"Ayue, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as she returned to the Jiang family, Old Zhang saw that Jiang Yue's clothes were covered in mud, which was caused when she fell in the back mountain.
Now it looks a bit embarrassing.
Jiang Yue walked past her and went straight into the house. Seeing this, Old Zhang hurriedly followed.
"Ouch, Ah Yue, what happened to you? Did you fall?"
Jiang Yue looked impatient and spoke in a cold tone. "How's the food I asked you to buy?"
Hearing this, Old Zhang's eyes evaded and she stammered, "This... food..."
Seeing her like this, how could Jiang Yue not know what was going on?
Old Mrs. Zhang said quickly before she could speak.
"I was just thinking that the eldest wife still owed us 200 kilograms of grain. I originally thought that if I asked them for the grain, I wouldn't have to buy so much. Who would have thought that Jiang Wan, that little bitch, would do something weird again..."
"It's Jiang Wan again!"
Jiang Yue was so angry that she gritted her teeth. This little bitch ruined her plans three or five times. Did she really think she was so capable?
"Don't worry about the 200 kilograms of food for now, Mom. Hurry up and use the money to stock up on more food."
"How can that be? I must get those 200 kilograms of food!"
Old Zhang subconsciously opened her mouth to retort. If she didn't want the 200 kilograms of grain, wouldn't it be a waste for the eldest family?
Jiang Yue was so angry that her heart ached. At this time, she was still thinking about the 200 kilograms of food.
"Mom, seriously, if we don't buy them now, we won't be able to buy tadpoles when we want to!"
Her tone became heavier, and only then did Mrs. Zhang understand, "Ayue, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Jiang Yue leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.
"What?……"
Old Mrs. Zhang spoke in a light tone, but when Jiang Yue looked at her, she immediately fell silent. After a while, she spoke hesitantly.
"Ayue, are there...are there bandits in the mountains behind us?"
Old Zhang's lips and teeth were trembling and her back felt cold.
Bandits are not good people. If you really fall into their hands, the only thing you can do is die.
"Um."
Jiang Yue responded coldly, "Mom, don't tell anyone about this. The food must be brought back as soon as possible. Then, we can make plans early."
“…Oh, okay, okay, Mommy will do it right away.”
Old Mrs. Zhang was really panicked now, her life was the most important thing.
She turned around and ran out.
Jiang Yue changed her clothes, threw the new set on the ground, turned around, opened the cabinet, took out a box from the innermost part, and walked out of the yard with the things.
That night, the villagers of Qingshan Village had already turned off the lights and fell into a deep sleep.
The thick ink color covered the entire village like a huge curtain. The only sound was the whistling wind, which could be heard through the window.
The window frame creaked in the wind. Jiang Wan sat up, frowned slightly, lit the kerosene lamp, stood up and closed the window.
In the dim light, I could vaguely see the trees outside swaying in the wind.
It's still summer, why is the wind so strong?
For some reason, listening to the whistling wind outside the window, Jiang Wan always had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Gugu—"
Suddenly, a burst of bird calls was heard in the mountains.
The bandits who had been hiding in the mountains poked their heads out upon hearing the signal.
"According to the plan, it's better to kill a hundred people by mistake than to let one go. We must find that thing! In addition, all the food must be transported to the mountains as planned."
"yes!"
Jiang Wan was just about to turn off the lights when suddenly, several sharp sounds broke the silence of the night.
Mixed with the howling wind, the barking of dogs came one after another.
She quickly put on her clothes, got up, opened the door and walked out.
"Wanwan? Why are you up?"
As soon as he went out, Jiang Zexing came out wearing a coat. When he saw Jiang Wan, he was stunned for a moment.
Without bothering to explain, Jiang Wan hurried forward and said, "Dad, go get Mom and my brothers up. Something's going to happen."
The barking of dogs at night was so obvious that the villagers were woken up.
As soon as I went out, I saw dark shadows coming towards me in the darkness, and I was so scared that I collapsed to the ground instantly.
“Murder—”
The old man fell to the ground, and the shadows of swords appeared. Just as the swords were about to fall on the old man, they were blocked by a figure that suddenly appeared and stabbed him with the backhand, and blood splattered.
"This way and that way, don't let any of them go!"
