"Hey, I've taken your girlfriend away!"
Chi Kangyong frowned: "She is not my girlfriend."
Wei was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Haha, that's even better! In that case, I'll take the two of them and leave."
Ji Kangyong nodded: "Okay, but you can't bully them." He was afraid that the two women would suffer a terrible fate.
Wei laughed heartily: "Yeah, I know. Huanhuan will be my woman from now on, and I'll treat her well."
After that, Little White Flower and Old White Flower moved to Brother Wei's place. As promised, Brother Wei would give the mother and daughter a bowl of meat soup every day.
Little White Flower was overjoyed. Several times during meals, she would happily take her bowl and run to Ji Kangyong to show off: "Hmph, so you looked down on me. Now I'm eating and drinking well, which you can't compare to."
Ji Kangyong nodded and didn't argue with her.
He had happened to see Brother Wei's men catching rats, so this meat soup must have been made from dead rats!
Ji Kangyong felt nauseous, but he forced himself not to show his emotions.
Times have changed; just surviving is a blessing. People eating rats doesn't seem so wrong. Even if you might contract the plague... well, that's just fate.
However, he still subconsciously distanced himself from the group.
Ji Kangyong lived a secluded life and had no contact with Wei Ge at all. But one day, while hunting, he passed by a stream and found Wei Ge's underlings cleaning pieces of meat.
Ji Kangyong glanced at him, and Wei Ge's underlings flinched and quickly hid the piece of meat behind their backs.
Ji Kangyong frowned, thinking that they were trying to prevent him from taking the meat, so he nodded and left.
He didn't take it seriously at all, but when his underling went back to report, Brother Wei was furious.
"You sons of bitches, are you looking to die? You knew what that was, why didn't you hide it properly?"
"Boss, we were being very careful, but he just suddenly appeared. We didn't expect this at all!"
Wei frowned: "What was that person's reaction? What did they say?"
The younger brother thought for a moment and said, "He didn't say anything, he just nodded and left."
Wei Ge felt that the other party must not have discovered his secret, otherwise they wouldn't be so calm. But he was also afraid that the other party was just pretending to be calm. So he had been arranging for people to monitor Ji Kangyong.
Ji Kangyong had no idea that he had unintentionally made an enemy of Brother Wei. He always thought that Brother Wei's henchmen were washing rat meat, or at least small animals like field mice or sparrows. He never imagined that it was a human...
So, after hearing from Xiaobaihua that Ji Kangyong was leaving, Wei Ge started to have ulterior motives.
Although Ji Kangyong might not have guessed that they were cannibals, they couldn't take the risk, could they? Besides, their granaries were almost empty.
After Xiaobaihua fell asleep, Wei Ge went to find his underlings: "That man is about to leave. After he leaves, we'll ambush him on the way."
"Brother Wei, that guy looks pretty tough. Can we really beat him?"
Wei chuckled: "He's one, but there are more than ten of us. We'll wear him down!"
The younger brother nodded: "Alright, then let's give it a try."
Wei patted his underling on the shoulder: "We have to succeed. We're almost out of food, and if we don't replenish it soon, we'll be eating grass. The others can't move, or our secret will be discovered quickly. Only those who are preparing to leave will attract the least attention."
The younger brother agreed, asking, "Brother Wei, when is that person planning to leave?"
"I heard it will be in two days. In the next two days, everyone keep an eye on his whereabouts and spread the word that he is preparing to leave. Once he leaves, we will immediately chase after him and intercept him."
“Okay, we can also arrange for a team to wait on the road that they have to take. That way, we can do it without anyone noticing.”
Wei nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's do it that way. Now go back to sleep."
"Okay, goodnight, Wei!"
Ji Kangyong had no idea that someone was plotting against him. After overhearing the conversation between the two white flowers, he felt there was no point in staying any longer. So he waited in the middle of the night, waiting for Shen Yanming's signal to disappear again.
But tonight, Shen Yanming's signal remained active the whole time.
Ji Kangyong scratched his head, wondering what had happened.
He composed himself, glanced at the two white flowers, and thought, "From now on, may we each take care of ourselves!" Then, he tiptoed off on his journey to find Bi Qiaoan.
Ji Kangyong was unaware that his actions had saved him from disaster, and he groped his way forward in the darkness.
Two days ago, when the thought of leaving crossed his mind, Ji Kangyong was observing the terrain. He finally determined the location, and it seemed to be where Bi Qiaoan was.
Ji Kangyong initially walked on a flat road, but soon the road beneath his feet became soft.
I knew it was mud without even looking at it. Luckily, it wasn't too runny.
Gradually, the mud deepened. Ji Kangyong wondered, "Why hasn't it dried yet after all this time?"
He wanted to give up, but the thought that he hadn't heard from his brother's wife for several days made him panic, fearing something might have happened.
In the end, I made up my mind to keep going until I couldn't go any further.
Ji Kangyong struggled in the mud for two or three hours until he saw three figures in the distance.
He was startled and stood frozen in place, unsure whether he should continue.
Anyone who dares to travel in the middle of the night is either desperate or a formidable character. Even if he's a good fighter, what if he runs into someone even stronger?
The three people opposite them were also taken aback when they saw Ji Kangyong. They had been traveling since dusk and hadn't seen a single living person for several hours. How come they ran into him just before dawn?
The two sides remained frozen in place for five minutes. Though they were only a kilometer apart, it felt as if they were separated by a thousand mountains and rivers.
After a long wait, the group with more people spoke first: "Is the person on the other side male or female?"
Ji Kangyong remained silent, wary.
"Hey, don't just stay silent. We're not bad people. We're just on our way and happened to run into you." The other person smiled, trying to keep a low voice: "Let's keep to ourselves and go our separate ways, okay?"
Ji Kangyong felt that the other person didn't seem like a barbarian, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Okay, let's get started."
The two groups converged towards the center, stopping when they were less than a hundred meters apart.
At this moment, in the dim light of dawn, they could see each other's faces clearly.
Looking at Ji Kangyong, Li Sikai thought the man was tall and strong, with an upright demeanor and a righteous air. He didn't seem like a vicious person.
He asked with a smile, "Dude, can you tell me where you came from? And what's the situation over there?"
Ji Kangyong was also observing Li Sikai and his group. He noticed that the men had resolute faces and a similar aura to his own.
He gave an irrelevant answer: "Who are you people?"
Li Sikai smiled: "We are guards."
Ji Kangyong's eyes lit up: "Guardsman, where are you from?"
“Suzhou!” Li Sikai said instinctively.
Ji Kangyong's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he said with disappointment, "Ah? It's not Haishi!"
