Jiang Xueying didn't expect that Ye Xiaojin didn't know the man in front of her named Yu Feng at all, and she was suddenly confused, but seeing that Yu Feng didn't seem to have any ill intentions, she immediately squatted down, hugged Ye Xiaojin, and comforted him softly.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaojin. This is your father's friend. You are still young, so it's not surprising that you have no impression of him."
This Yu Feng should not be a bad person, otherwise he would not have come to them in such a high profile.
Yu Feng, who had been calm just now, suddenly became very excited after seeing Ye Xiaojin. With a gleam in his eyes, he immediately squatted down and grabbed Ye Xiaojin and was about to push her into his arms, almost pushing Jiang Xueying down.
"Hey, can't you see I'm still here?"
How rude! No matter how much you love children, you can't push a weak woman like her aside. It's really too much!
Jiang Xueying immediately became dissatisfied and accused Yu Feng of his arrogant behavior, but she could see that Yu Feng obviously had no ill intentions.
Ye Xiaojin was frightened by Yu Feng's pull. There was fear and evasion in his eyes. He kept backing away to find his mother. When Yu Feng let him go, he immediately ran to Jiang Xueying and hugged her legs.
"Mom, I'm scared. I don't know him."
"It's okay, Xiaojin, don't be afraid. Mom is here. If they dare to do anything to us, the village chief brought them here, and he won't let them go."
She said this not only to Ye Xiaojin, but also to Yu Feng.
Ye Xingzhou was not there, so even if the village chief brought him here, she could not completely trust him. After all, as a woman with a child, she had to be cautious and the most important thing was to ensure the child's safety.
After being here for a while, he only saw Ye Xiaojin but not Ye Xiaoyu. Yu Feng frowned, thinking of the question Ye Xiaojin asked when he first entered the door.
"Where's Ye Xiaoyu?"
It turned out that he knew Ye Xingzhou's family very well and even knew Ye Xiaoyu's name.
Jiang Xueying sighed slightly in her heart, her eyes flickering, she also wanted to know the whereabouts of Ye Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu... Xiaoyu is missing. We have confirmed that she was captured by bandits, but we don't know where she is hidden or whether she has been sold."
Jiang Xueying had been searching for Ye Xiaoyu for several days but couldn't find any news about her. She was really at a loss, so she had to tell the truth. Perhaps she could still rely on Yu Feng's help to find her.
"What? Ye Xiaoyu is missing? How did you take care of the children? Do you know their health... How could Xingzhou trust a woman like you to leave the children to you? You are so irresponsible, why did you take on the responsibility of taking care of them..."
Did this man eat ammunition? Is he blaming her? What right does he have to blame her?
Even Yexingzhou has no right to blame her, okay?
When the family was penniless, she was the one trying to earn money to give Ye Xiaojin and Ye Xiaoyu a good life. At that time, Ye Xingzhou was missing and Ye Xiaoyu didn't tell her where Ye Xingzhou was. Has anyone ever understood her feelings?
"What do you mean? Are you here just to blame me? Did we know each other before? What does our family's affairs have to do with you?"
Jiang Xueying had been going out early and coming back late these days looking for clues and was already exhausted both physically and mentally. Now she was being questioned by a stranger. She could no longer hold back and asked harshly, as if she wanted to pour out the haze in her heart in recent days.
Yu Feng was anxious and naturally wanted to find Ye Xiaoyu as soon as possible, so he ignored Jiang Xueying and turned to leave, but was grabbed by Jiang Xueying.
"Wait, where are you going? Are you going to the mountains to look for bandits?"
Yu Feng turned around and looked at Jiang Xueying with a very cold look, which was completely different from the enthusiasm he had when he just found Jiang Xueying.
It seems like I am looking at a stranger, no, it should be said that I am looking at a strange sinner!
"Yes, so what?"
Ye Xiaoyu is missing, so he naturally has to find Ye Xiaoyu as soon as possible. Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin are both of noble status. Jiang Xueying may not know their identities, but he and Ye Xingzhou know them.
If anything happened to Ye Xiaoyu, he and Ye Xingzhou would blame themselves to death.
It's all this woman's fault. She shouldn't have left the two children to Yexingzhou to take care of. If he had been with them, such a thing would never have happened!
"open!"
Seeing that Jiang Xueying had no intention of letting go of the hand that was holding his arm, Yu Feng felt disgusted and spoke in a cold voice with a hint of rebuke.
Jiang Xueying complained in her heart. If she hadn't wanted to find Ye Xiaoyu, she wouldn't have stopped him and would have kicked him out long ago. But now was not the time to act on impulse. Finding the person was the most important thing.
"I'm familiar with the mountain, maybe I can help. You can take me with you."
Jiang Xueying offered to help and wanted to go into the mountains with Yu Feng again to explore the bandit’s lair to look for Ye Xiaoyu, but was rejected.
"Impossible. We have a better chance of success if we act alone. It's inconvenient to bring a woman with us."
Jiang Xueying became anxious when she heard this. How could she not take her with her?
"I have lived here for many years and I am familiar with the terrain. It will definitely be good for you to take me with you. Besides, Ye Xiaoyu is also my daughter. She was lost from me. I will bring her back no matter what."
Looking at Jiang Xueying's calm and determined expression, Yu Feng agreed after hesitation, and they went out together.
Jiang Xueying and Yu Feng walked for a long time before they met up with the main force in a small ravine.
Jiang Xueying observed the route all the way. She had been to this place before, but she did not find any signs of anyone staying there. Such a large group of people actually hid in this secluded ravine. It seemed that they were quite capable.
"General Yu!"
The leader's eyes lit up when he saw Yu Feng, and he hurriedly ran over with the others and saluted Yu Feng.
Jiang Xueying looked at Yu Feng in surprise. She just found out that Yu Feng was the general of the people sent by the imperial court to suppress the bandits. What a coincidence!
"Well, you guys have worked hard."
Yu Feng nodded lightly and introduced Jiang Xueying to them with a serious expression.
"This is Miss Jiang. She is familiar with the terrain of this mountain and can help us map out the route and deploy our defenses."
The leader looked at Jiang Xueying, and the two nodded to each other.
"Miss Jiang, thank you for your help."
At this moment, Jiang Xueying realized that she had entered the anti-bandit camp, but she quickly recalled the two men in black she had encountered when they were exploring the bandit's lair at night. Could it be that they were not from the imperial court? But she clearly noticed that the two men were very skilled and well-trained, so they must be soldiers!
Yu Feng on the side smiled coldly in his heart but remained expressionless on the surface. He wanted to see what Jiang Xueying was capable of. What was the purpose of a woman who was so weak that she had to follow him?
