At that time, horses were very expensive and had little edible value, so most people would not raise horses. Jiang Xueying immediately stomped out the torch in her hand and quickly hid in the bushes on the side.
Soon, the sharp neighing of horses was heard, and a large group of figures appeared.
"Boss, it's only getting dark, why are we in such a hurry to come out? If we are recognized by others, then..."
"Okay, you're the only one who's talking too much. I know what to do. I clearly saw a fire here just now, how come it disappeared when I came over? It looked like a girl to me. Am I seeing things?"
"Haha, boss, you haven't seen a girl for so long that you're having hallucinations. Look at this wilderness, it's even more deserted than our mountain. Where did this girl come from? She might be a ghost!"
Hearing this, the others burst into laughter!
"Bah, I haven't seen a female ghost yet, but I want to see one!"
"I'm afraid the boss won't mind!"
"I haven't seen a woman in so many days. What's wrong? I'm going to get bored staying in the mountains all day. No, I have to go to the city for a walk!"
"Hey, boss..."
There was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds, and the bandits quickly disappeared from sight.
After making sure that they had left, Jiang Xueying came out of the bushes, looked at the extinguished torch in her hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that these bandits were coming for her. Fortunately, she extinguished the torch in time, otherwise... there would have been a tough battle!
It seems that the missing women we heard about before were most likely the work of these bandits. Listening to their vulgar conversations, it is not difficult to imagine what would have happened to those women if they fell into their hands.
Jiang Xueying didn't dare to light a torch on the road ahead and could only walk towards the village by moonlight. Fortunately, she had trained her body, so these were not a problem at all.
It was already midnight when they got home. Jiang Xueying went to see Ye Xiaojin who was not sleeping well, and went to bed without waking him up.
The next morning, Jiang Xueying settled Ye Xiaojin down early and prepared to go out, but she found that the village chief was walking towards her with a few people not far away, and they were obviously heading towards her house.
Jiang Xueying couldn't help but be stunned, because the person following the village chief was exactly the man who followed her and was knocked unconscious by her yesterday. The man was followed by several followers, and his identity seemed to be very unusual.
Last night, I took him by surprise and knocked him out. Could he be here to cause trouble for me?
Jiang Xueying quickly guessed in her mind and immediately came up with a way to deal with it.
The village chief immediately smiled when he saw Jiang Xueying.
"Hey, Ye's wife, I was just saying I was going to your house to look for you, but I met you here so I won't go in. This is Yu Feng, he's here to look for you, and I brought him here."
After giving a few instructions, the village chief turned around and left without noticing Jiang Xueying's strange expression. He had been very busy recently because of the bandits and missing children in the village.
"Hey... Village Chief, please... don't leave?"
Jiang Xueying didn't know who this man named Yu Feng was and why he came to see her. She was about to call the village chief to find out more, but the village chief seemed to have greased his feet and disappeared quickly.
She suddenly felt helpless, but was afraid that Yu Feng was not a good person and wanted revenge on her, so she had to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible.
"Your name is Yu Feng? Which Yu? Is it the fish in the sea? Which Feng? Is it the Feng in bee? Hahaha... Your name is so weird. Who would be called Yu Feng..."
She played crazy and stupid, thinking that she had disguised herself a little last night and did not use a torch. In the moonlight, this man should not have been able to see her face clearly, so what was his purpose in coming here?
As he was thinking about it, Yu Feng didn't expect that he really didn't see Jiang Xueying. He just felt that the figure of the crazy woman in front of him seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.
He was well-informed and not an ordinary villager, so he naturally saw at a glance that Jiang Xueying was acting crazy and stupid and making a fool of herself, but he also thought that she was being wary of strangers.
"This... these ladies, you don't have to be like this. I am a good friend of Ye Xingzhou. I heard that he lives in this village. I came here to find him. You just need to tell me where he is."
What?
Ye Xingzhou's friend? Who is Ye Xingzhou?
Jiang Xueying silently complained a few words in her heart, she just felt that the name of the person Yu Feng was looking for sounded familiar.
Suddenly, I was stunned. Ye Xingzhou? Isn't that the original owner's husband?
Jiang Xueying looked up at him in surprise. It turned out that he was an acquaintance of the original owner's husband. But he came to find Yexingzhou, but why did he follow her yesterday? And it seemed that he followed the village chief to her house today. Does that mean he didn't know the location of her house at all?
No, that's not right. Their house had been burned down before, and now they live in the village chief's house. Even if he had been here before, he wouldn't know it.
Because he didn't recognize Jiang Xueying, Yu Feng treated Jiang Xueying quite well, and a relaxed smile appeared on his already handsome face.
Compared to Yu Feng's calmness, Jiang Xueying felt a little nervous. She was afraid that Yu Feng would recognize her at any time, so she seemed a little restrained.
"Oh, so you are my husband's good friend. What a coincidence! My husband is not at home. He has been away for quite some time. There are only me and my two children at home."
Hearing that Yexingzhou was not there, Yu Feng couldn't help but be stunned. He had finally found out the news about Yexingzhou and a few others, and he just happened to have the opportunity to come here, but he couldn't see Yexingzhou. This made him a little disappointed.
"Where are the children? Can you take me to meet them?"
Judging from the village chief’s enthusiastic attitude towards Yu Feng, she must think that Yu Feng’s identity is not ordinary. Moreover, this person has already come to the door of the house. Can she still refuse?
Therefore, Jiang Xueying would naturally not stop Yu Feng from seeing the children. It’s just that Ye Xiaojin is the only child left in the family. Ye Xiaoyu has been missing and there has been no news. Perhaps... this person may have a way?
"Well, come in with me first and talk to Xiao Jin first."
Yu Feng nodded, and followed Jiang Xueying into the yard with a few followers.
Several people stood guard around the yard, while Yu Feng followed Jiang Xueying into the house.
"Mom, didn't you go to look for your sister? Why are you back again?"
Ye Xiaojin had just got up when he saw Jiang Xueying walking into the house, so he immediately ran out to ask. When he saw that the man next to his mother was tall and unfamiliar, he was slightly stunned. Then he saw several tall men in the yard, and he felt inexplicably scared. He hid behind Jiang Xueying unconsciously, looking at them timidly.
"Mom, who are they? Why did you let them in? Xiao Jin is a little scared..."
