"If you had told us earlier, would we still be wandering around here like headless chickens?"
When Xie Ying heard that Jiang Yue already knew about this, his expression suddenly changed.
So all the suffering she endured along the way was in vain?
"Get lost! You can't give birth to a son, you just gossip all the time. Get out of here right now. Do you think you can say anything about me, Ah Yue?"
When Old Mrs. Zhang heard Xie Ying scolding Jiang Yue, she couldn't help but step forward and start scolding.
"Mom, what did I say wrong?"
"If we had known this earlier, we might not be so worried now. Also, even if we bought this food, wouldn't it attract the attention of those bandits if we took it with us?"
Xie Ying spoke without changing his expression.
Jiang Anfu nodded in agreement when he heard this.
If Jiang Yue had known that the bandits would enter the village, she should have told them in advance.
We wouldn't be as flustered and passive as we are now.
"You're the one who talks the most all day! Just shut up now, you're spouting shit. Why didn't you rush over when the thief came in?"
"Mom, that's not what you said. This concerns the safety of our entire family. How can this be a trivial matter?"
"Why are you so anxious, sister-in-law? Since I haven't said anything, it means I have a way to deal with it."
"real?"
Jiang Anfu couldn't wait to speak.
In the face of life and death, he didn't care about his previous face.
"Dad, what do you think I'm going to do when I ask you to buy all that food?"
"Those bandits have entered the village, naturally they have some plans."
"You mean... the bandits came into the village for food?"
Jiang Anfu's eyes widened.
"Um."
Jiang Yue nodded. "Right now, the border war is tense and food is urgently needed. In addition, due to the drought in recent years, the grain production is not high. These nearby bandits have set their sights on the village."
"But if that happens, wouldn't the food in our hands become a death warrant?"
Jiang Anfu's expression suddenly changed.
"No, on the contrary, it is our life-saving talisman."
Jiang Yue raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Where there are bandits, there are naturally officials. The person she is waiting for will soon be here.
It's time to leave their house.
The other side
Fortunately, the village chief had already known the news and sealed off everything in the village in advance.
Some of the elderly, women and children had already hidden themselves, and the rest did so to avoid attracting the attention of the bandits in the mountains.
As soon as the bandits entered the village, the barking of dogs in the village alerted them.
But it still caught them off guard.
Fortunately, the number of bandits who appeared in the village this time was not as many as they expected, but there were still many casualties.
These bandits must have scattered and gone to different villages.
"I didn't expect your village to be such a tough nut to crack. You've hurt so many of my people, but you're going to have to pay the price!"
The bandit leader had a gloomy expression on his face and glared fiercely at Cheng Renming and others in front of him.
"kill--"
"Leave no one behind!"
As he finished speaking, a row of soldiers suddenly emerged from behind him and surrounded them.
The leader of the bandits' expression suddenly changed.
"You knew we were coming?"
Cheng Renming took a step forward and said, "Of course, it's worth our effort to put on this show."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the people behind him who were originally hunched over straighten up one after another.
“!”
The bandits' eyes were bloodshot.
Damn it!
"How did you know?"
"Few outsiders come to Qingshan Village. Wouldn't we be suspicious if you suddenly appeared in the village?"
They are just ordinary people living in the countryside, not fools.
Besides, anyone can tell whether there is something wrong with them by their poor local dialect.
mountains
Jiang Yue and his family walked towards the mountains with food.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared and blocked their way.
Jiang Anfu and the others were startled. Before they could say anything, Jiang Yue suddenly took a step forward.
"My dear warriors, bandits have entered our village. Now my family has nowhere to go and can only hide in the mountains."
"My dear warriors, you all look so righteous and honest. If you are willing to protect my family, I will give you some food."
Even as she said this, her eyes were fixed on the masked man in the lead.
He wore a black robe with gold thread, a silver mask, held a long sword in his hand, and had a slender figure.
This is the male protagonist in the book - Huo Jiuyu.
He finally showed up, and all her planning was worth it.
If this trip goes smoothly, she will be able to escape from here easily.
Hearing her words, Huo Jiuyu's gaze fell on her, and his eyes moved slightly.
Is it her?
The guards behind him stepped forward.
"Since bandits broke into your village, how did you escape?"
This group of people, old and weak, including such a young girl, carrying so much food, are clearly the best targets for the bandits. How could they appear in front of them safely now?
Jiang Yue bit her lip.
"I know the path in the mountains and fled here with my family. As for the food, we stored it here before..."
Huo Jiuyu's eyes fell on her and he glanced sideways.
"In that case, we will accept the food and give it to you as an equal, so that we can protect you."
Huo Jiuyu left this sentence and turned to leave.
Jiang Yue's eyes flashed, and she said nothing more.
However, Xie Ying, who had been paying attention to Jiang Yue's movements, saw her like this and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
