At this time, the villagers who couldn't wait came over along the route that Mu Jin had left. Seeing this scene, several women in the village came forward to help Mu Jin.
"My child, please save him."
"Where is the child? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly."
Mu Jin comforted her, her eyes still searching for the child.
The woman was too weak and emotionally agitated to pass out.
Mu Jin quickly checked the woman's body and found that she was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
They set up a tent on the spot and put the woman on a camp bed. The villagers had no complaints and cooked outside the tent.
Maybe because she was starving for too long, the woman woke up not long after being unconscious.
Mu Bai also happened to bring in a bowl of rice porridge. Mu Jin helped the woman up and served her the hot porridge.
“It’s a little hot, eat slowly”
The woman thanked him and started eating.
After eating, Mu Jin handed the bowl to Mu Bai. Seeing that the woman's mood had stabilized, he asked her what she said before she fell into a coma.
The woman also told her experience in detail
"My name is Qin Niang. I lost my husband early in life and came here to escape famine with my children. I was traveling with people from the village. There were quite a few of us, but some died of hunger and thirst along the way, and only a dozen of us were left in the team.
At first, everything was peaceful. Later, a few ragged people came and claimed to be refugees. They wanted to be a companion on the road. The kind-hearted villagers agreed.
It was fine for the first few days, but then those people started to give some food to the villagers, intentionally or unintentionally."
"So those who were originally wary saw how generous these people were and put aside their reservations," Mu Jin continued.
"Yes, because of these people's generosity, the villagers soon became close friends with them." Qin Niang agreed with Mu Jin's guess.
Qin Niang is a doctor, but the world is not tolerant of women. A widow who can raise a child must have extraordinary qualities.
"At first, the group only gave food to a few people in a small area, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Later, almost everyone got a portion, so I became alert.
During the famine, everyone had to hide their food for fear that others would find out. But these people were so generous in giving away their food. They were either traitors or thieves.
Those people gave me and my children food, and we always pretended to eat it, but actually put it away."
"On a rainy night a few days ago, this group of people finally revealed their true colors. After eating the food they had brought to them, the villagers fainted one after another."
"My child and I quickly pretended to faint. After a while, we heard the sound of horse hooves. Perhaps they didn't want any fish to slip through the net, so they released smoke again."
"On my deathbed, I saw in the darkness that several men had tied up the child and the woman and stuffed them into a carriage. When I woke up, the child was gone. The remaining people had fallen into a deep sleep because of the drugs in their food and the drugs they had smoked. They never woke up again."
The villagers sighed, it was such a pity that those people were gone.
"How did you wake up so quickly?" asked Mu Jin.
"This is it. I accidentally found it while picking herbs."
Mu Jin looked at what Qin Niang was holding, and it turned out to be a bunch of coriander.
"I thought the smell was unique, so I picked some. When I saw the villagers fall, I held it in my hand. I was afraid of being discovered, so I held it tightly. After I passed out, my hand naturally relaxed, and the smell came out, and I woke up."
Mu Jin praised in her heart, what a smart woman!
"Then you said they robbed women and children, why did you survive?"
Several women who came in to help asked curiously
