"No, let's go together. There will always be a way." Jiang Xia interrupted Liu Guizhu's words that sounded like a last will.
The village was burned down, the people's livelihood was destroyed, their life savings were gone, and the wives they had abducted with great difficulty also ran away. The fate of those who stayed behind can be imagined, either they were beaten to death, or just like what the old man said, their hands and feet were broken and they could never run away again.
And if some people run away from the village, then these people will definitely not stay here anymore.
When they went out to report the case, no one was there and the village had already been emptied.
There will be no chance to escape again in this life.
Jiang Xia glanced at the flames rising to the sky behind her. She wanted to bet that Lu Yuanting had seen the hairband she left on the ground. She bet that Lu Yuanting noticed something was wrong. Lu Yuanting would search for her everywhere. He would definitely notice the flames rising to the sky.
What she had to do now was to take these people away, as far away as possible, to buy some time so that they would notice the fire coming.
After Jiang Xia said this, Liu Guizhu's eyes turned red. She wiped her tears and finally nodded.
No one mentioned staying anymore, and as the group headed out of the village, there was a winding mountain road outside.
"You...if you dare to leave, I tell you, even if you run for three days and two nights, you can't get out of this mountain!!" The old lady of the Zhang family stood in front of him, trembling with a cane. Her inverted triangle eyes swept over Jiang Xia sinisterly with resentment.
"Little girl, my wife is fine, but you have corrupted her. I will ask my son to break your legs soon. No, I will scratch your vixen face. People with such a face are not good people!"
The old lady was usually very powerful in the village. She was the oldest in seniority. At first, the men in the village were too poor and the place was too remote, so no woman was willing to marry here. It was she who came up with the idea that if they couldn't afford to marry, then they could kidnap. She used her own wisdom to marry wives for the bachelors in the village.
Therefore, she is the most respected and prestigious one in the village. She has the final say among the men. She can also sit at the table during meals and eat meat with them. She is very powerful. These new wives are also well trained by her.
Now she was heartbroken watching the village burn down, but she couldn't put out the fire, so she could only block the way.
Waving a cane, he tried to teach these ignorant women who had just arrived in the village a lesson as he did in the past.
"Old thing, I almost forgot about you." Jiang Xia looked at the old lady and frowned. This old lady was just as vicious as those men. Liu Guizhu was helping her out of kindness, but she had the idea of abducting her to the mountains to be her son's wife.
Jiang Xia asked the women with limited mobility to go forward first, while she herself grabbed the old lady's cane and pushed her backwards.
With a thud, the old lady's buttocks became numb. She was old and her bones were brittle. She couldn't get up for a long time after the fall.
The old lady looked at Jiang Xia in disbelief, as if she had not expected that someone as weak as Jiang Xia could be treated so harshly. She was in so much pain that she could not get up for a long time, and pointed at Jiang Xia tremblingly.
"You, you...you..." the old lady of the Zhang family said.
"What do you mean by 'you'? I can tell from your face that you are not a good person. Bah! Instead of hiding honestly, you come forward to ask for a beating." Jiang Xia was not very good at swearing. She took the old lady's walking stick and hit her body, hitting her wherever it hurt. The old lady cried out in pain.
