"Sure, sure..."
Seeing the pitiful Chen Ermei kneeling there, her snow-white neck and the bulging of her breasts barely concealed by her deep-cut clothes, Jiang Ming couldn't help but grin.
Although Chen Ermei is quite well-developed.
Objectively speaking, the slender younger sister was actually more beautiful and taller. She lowered her head delicately, looking like a lotus emerging from the water, with an expression of resignation and acceptance.
Watching Jiang Ming eat and drink his fill, his mouth smeared with oil, and looking at his two younger sisters with a sly grin, Chen Dabao's eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown.
"Dad! We need to be careful!"
"What do you mean?"
Chen Dabao warned, "What if this kid deliberately speaks in front of the sedan chair bearers and reveals a flaw? These refugees often cheat and swindle to get a full meal... Second Sister will die then."
"this......?"
After his eldest son reminded him, Old Master Chen also looked at Jiang Ming with a suspicious expression.
The two Chen sisters also looked terrified.
"You covered your ass after crossing the river, didn't you!"
Jiang Ming glared at Chen Dabao: "If I'm found out I'm impersonating someone else, according to the laws of Yan, I'll be branded on the face, exiled as a slave, and forced to do hard labor for life!"
"That's still better than starving to death!" Chen Dabao said, frowning.
"Heh, besides trusting me, do you have any other choice? Can you rely on anyone else? Anyway, I'm full and satisfied. If you don't trust me, just kill me. Anyway, once I'm dead, your second daughter can just wait to go up the mountain to feed the mountain god." Jiang Ming was fearless.
"you!"
Chen Dabao was speechless for a moment.
"Da Bao, you must not be disrespectful to your benefactor!" the old lady scolded angrily, and the old village chief had no choice but to acquiesce.
"Hmph! Fine! I'll personally lead the wedding procession. If you dare to back out halfway, I'll make sure you die in Chenjia Village!" Chen Dabao sneered.
“No problem!” Jiang Ming said easily. “It’s getting late. Quickly have one of the skillful maids in the manor take your future son-in-law to bathe and change.”
Chen Dabao was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The more he looked at the refugees, the more unreliable they seemed.
But who can blame them when their second sister's life depends on this bastard?
Helpless, the crowd allowed two maids to lead him into the bathing room.
"Oh my, you have such skillful little hands, hurry up and wash this son-in-law's body."
When everyone heard Jiang Ming acting like a son-in-law and joking around with the maid in the bath room, their expressions were incredibly varied.
The old village chief snorted coldly, increasingly convinced that Jiang Ming was a fraud.
The two girls blushed with embarrassment.
Chen Dabao couldn't resist rushing in to beat Jiang Ming up, but was scolded by the old lady, which made him yell and kick over a flowerpot in the yard.
As soon as Jiang Ming walked out of the bathroom, everyone's eyes turned to him.
And sure enough, after some styling, Jiang Ming, dressed as a woman, was quite charming. With the rouge and powder on, she was even more beautiful than the average young lady. The old lady nodded in praise after seeing her.
This kid doesn't seem so unreliable after all?
Chen Ermei gave him a look that was both adoring and shy...
"Hmph," Jiang Ming sneered inwardly, "It's just a transaction! Saying you like it is a stretch. If I really force you to have seven or eight kids, don't cry!"
Since he was going up the mountain to fight the tiger, before getting into the bridal sedan chair, Jiang Ming asked the Chen family for a dagger, a slingshot, and two small bags of corn, which he stuffed into his left and right chests.
To his surprise, the eldest daughter of the Chen family ran over and handed him a peach wood amulet. She bit her lip and said with concern, "My lord, take this with you. My mother left it to me..."
Jiang Ming's heart sank. Her mother? Could it be Madam Chen?
It seems that this younger sister was born to a concubine, and that her mother is no longer alive.
The girl looked at him with a worried expression, her eyes seemingly filled with tears, a stark contrast to Chen Ermei's joyful expression.
Time was limited, and they had to set off immediately, so Jiang Ming didn't have time to say anything to her.
Chen Dabao and his father, as her maternal family members, personally escorted "Chen Ermei" to the mountain gate.
Next, the government-appointed sedan chair bearers, under the watchful eyes of a group of soldiers, escorted the "bride" into the mountains.
The lead sedan bearer did indeed check it, lifting the curtain to take a look before lowering it again.
Then, the group of people carried the sedan chair up the mountain, swaying slightly.
Chen Dabao, accompanied by three burly servants, quietly followed them.
When the group escorted Jiang Ming to the mountain god temple, it was already late afternoon.
Tigers prefer to hunt at dusk.
The sedan bearers and the escorting soldiers abandoned the sedan chairs and ran away.
They also found it strange that the brides who had been sent up the mountain before had been convulsing and wetting their pants the whole way.
But this young lady was not only beautiful, but also calm and composed, showing no sign of fear.
Chen Dabao, who was following behind, was also very surprised. Jiang Ming did not make any move to run away. Could it be that he was scared to death in the sedan chair?
He couldn't afford to think too much right now; it would be a lie to say he wasn't scared after coming here.
Chen Dabao quickly led his servants and ran back as fast as he could.
After the bystanders left, Jiang Ming immediately climbed out of the sedan chair and began his hunting plan!
Jiang Ming fled all the way along the Yanshan Mountains.
Before entering the mountains, as a special forces soldier with exceptional wilderness survival skills, he already knew the terrain and the wild animals that lived there very well.
Not only did they know there was a 'Mountain God' near Dukang County, but they also knew that further into the mountains there was a 'Mountain Ancestor,' an even more powerful being!
They each occupy a hilltop, separated by a small river, and usually keep to themselves.
What Jiang Ming needs to do right now is to use one enemy to devour another!
By using information such as the mountain god's excrement, footprints, urine marks, and prey remains, Jiang Ming continuously narrowed down the location of its lair.
In just half an hour, a cave filled with bones came into view.
"What's that? A woman? There's a living woman in the tiger's den?"
"Was her clothing stripped off by the mountain god?"
