As dawn broke, every household was still preparing breakfast.
Jiang Bai and her sister then led the surviving man in black toward Pingshan.
Jiang Songhu had been keeping watch outside since early morning, hoping to see when they would take the medicine, but he was disappointed to see the two of them leave instead.
Wait, who is the person with them?
He was filled with suspicion. The man was dressed in a conspicuous black outfit, and the Jiang sisters had been avoiding people the whole way, as if they were doing something shady.
He felt inexplicably nervous, and his steps unconsciously quickened.
The two sisters arrived at Pingshan and continued into the mountains, where they encountered more and more snakes along the way.
Jiang Songhu hesitated for a moment, then picked up a stick, pried the snake aside, and followed behind.
“I know this is difficult for you, but Er Ya, you need to overcome your mental barriers.”
"I can't always be by your side. If this happens again, I hope you can protect yourself."
“I know, sister.”
Jiang Songhu dared not approach, hiding behind a tree and watching the direction of the two sisters from afar.
Jiang Lu held a dagger in her hand. Jiang Songhu couldn't see her face clearly, but he could sense a tremor in her voice.
What are they going to do?
Jiang Songhu's heart jumped. He saw Jiang Lu walk towards the man in black and was guessing the man's identity when he suddenly saw Jiang Lu approach the man and do something. Blood gushed from the man's neck. Then he saw her throw down the dagger and run to the side, retching incessantly.
Seeing that the man was gradually losing strength and lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, Jiang Songhu felt a sour feeling rise in his stomach, as if stimulated by Jiang Lü's retching sound, and he also felt like vomiting.
She...they actually...
Jiang Songhu was both shocked and terrified, fearing that he would be discovered by the Jiang sisters, so he practically scrambled down the mountain.
On the way, I was almost bitten by a long worm.
"Huff...huff...huff..."
Once inside, he leaned against the door, still panting heavily.
"Tiger, what's wrong?"
Today, everyone in the old house has gone out, except for Madam Wang and her one-year-old great-grandson, Xun Ge'er.
"Grandma, quickly, quickly call my grandpa and the others back."
Jiang Songhu's face was deathly pale, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably.
Judging from his appearance, something serious had happened. Wang didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went out to call him back.
"Tiger, what happened?"
The housework was so busy that even Jiang Songzong couldn't escape having to work in the fields. When he saw Jiang Songhu's expression, his heart skipped a beat. Had Jiang Bai found out?
"Come inside, come inside quickly."
Jiang Songhu panicked and called everyone into the house. After confirming that everyone present was someone he could trust, he calmed his breathing and said with a look of terror on his face, "I...I saw Jiang Bai and the others kill someone."
"What?"
Jiang Minchang stood up in shock, then sat down again.
"Tiger, don't scare me." Even Jiang Songzong was startled.
"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes. Jiang Lu was holding a dagger, and with just one stab, the person bled a lot and stopped moving after a while."
"Wait, it's not Jiang Bai, it's Jiang Lv?"
“It’s Jiang Lu, I saw it with my own eyes, Jiang Bai taught her.”
The room fell silent instantly, and fear filled the air.
"What if that girl finds out that we poisoned the food?"
Jiang Anlin panicked too. Murder! That was murder! He had lived for decades and had never seen anything like it before. He never expected that the two sisters would dare to kill someone.
"Don't panic, Tiger, take me up the mountain, let's go take a look there first."
Jiang Songzong was the one who could keep things in check. After a discussion, Jiang Anlin took his son up the mountain and arrived at the place Jiang Songhu had mentioned.
The Jiang sisters were no longer there; only a wrecked body remained, scattered all over the ground. The body was covered in marks from wild animals, and the face was unrecognizable.
Moreover, besides this one, they also found another one not far away.
"There are actually two."
Jiang Songhu's lips trembled as he thought of the two sisters, unable to suppress the fear in his heart.
No matter how fierce he is, he's only a teenager and has never been to school. Seeing this scene would probably give him nightmares for days.
"Should we report this to the authorities?" Jiang Anlin asked Jiang Songzong.
Jiang Songzong shook his head; his face was also somewhat pale.
“Luzhou is suffering from a severe drought, and many refugees have fled to Yingzhou. The county government is very busy and has no time to deal with such trivial matters. Moreover, if we report it to the authorities, we will have no evidence and may end up being arrested as criminals to take the blame.”
"So we're just going to let them get away with it?"
Jiang Anlin truly dared not imagine that his two nieces, who lived in the village and had a grudge against his family, might take advantage of the night to slit their throats.
The more I think about it, the more scared I get.
"Don't worry, as long as they continue to live in the village, they won't dare to mess with us."
The group had barely returned home when they heard a knock at the door.
"It's you? What brings you here?"
The person outside is none other than Chen Qiaohui.
"Oh, Wang Dahua, you seem to have a bad memory. We agreed to give you three days, and those three days are almost up. Are you going to return the money or offer someone as collateral?"
Chen Qiaohui had a smile on her round face, but she was anxious inside.
She thought and thought, but she never expected that Chen Qiaojuan, that bitch, had also set her sights on the two sisters.
That was someone a noble person specifically requested, and she had to bring him over discreetly, without arousing suspicion. That's why she went through several roundabout ways to make Wang think she had made a connection and sold the person to her.
