At the moment when Fu Tuan reminded her, Jiang Huaixu also heard the emotional "grunts" of the wild boar in the distance. She stood up hurriedly and opened her mouth to remind him.
[Six people followed the wild boar! They were armed with bows and arrows.]
Jiang Huaixu had doubts in her heart. To be on the safe side, she still wanted to let the villagers leave this place first.
"I heard some movement deep in the woods. Let's move quickly. It would be bad if the bloody smell here attracts wild animals."
When everyone heard this, they carried the tied wild boar and went down the mountain.
After taking another look at the source of the sound, Jiang Huaixu slowed down his pace and planned to climb up after all the villagers left, to see if the group of people would pass by and notice the commotion here.
Jiang Erlang, who had been keeping an eye on Jiang Huaixu, noticed that she looked a little off, and subconsciously slowed down his pace. When they were side by side, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just heard some noise, I don't know if I heard it right."
Jiang Erlang listened carefully, but didn't hear any other sound except the wild boar's cry, but he believed in Jiang Huaixu's judgment.
"How about we climb up a tree and hide here and see if anyone comes?"
Jiang Huaixu had exactly the same idea, and the two hit it off immediately.
While the two were hiding in the tree, the villagers carrying the wild boars arrived at the camp. Surprised and delighted to have hunted so many wild boars, the villagers enthusiastically began to process the pork.
The big wild boars weigh two to three hundred pounds, while the small wild boars weigh only over a hundred pounds. When they are all piled together, they look particularly spectacular.
Jiang Zhengmao assigned tasks to the villagers. After he finished assigning all the tasks, he suddenly found that Jiang Erlang and Jiang Huaixu were not among the crowd.
"Yun Qi, do you know where the brother and sister went? Did they not come down from the mountain?"
Yun Qi didn't pay attention to the two people's movements. Seeing that they didn't come back, he rarely remembered his duty to protect Jiang Huaixu's safety.
"I'll go back and take a look."
On the mountain, Jiang Erlang and Jiang Huaixu hid among the dense leaves, quietly listening to the people under the trees discussing how to steal their food.
"With so much blood on the ground, I'm sure those people had a good harvest. They must have had plenty of food."
"I didn't expect this group of people to be so capable. They were able to catch so many wild boars. They must have a large team."
"Let's talk about it when Xiao Er comes back."
The man they called Xiao Er was hiding in the mountains and observing the movements of the villagers at the foot of the mountain. When he saw Yun Qi coming up the mountain, he felt something was wrong and began to run around in the jungle like a wild monkey.
He quickly ran back to his companions and briefly told them what he had seen and heard, as well as the news that someone was going up the mountain.
Everyone was slightly stunned by the number of villagers mentioned by the waiter. When they heard that someone was going up the mountain, the leader among them immediately changed his mind and came up with an idea.
"How about we capture this person who came up the mountain and use him as a hostage?"
"Great idea!"
······
Jiang Huaixu was puzzled by the scene. She could clearly see from her God's perspective that this group of people did not catch up with the wild boar, but were attracted by the bloody smell here. One of them followed the bloodstains left by the villagers to investigate, and sure enough, they found the cheering villagers.
She originally wanted to shoot the people on the spot, but suddenly changed her mind. These people were extremely useful and might be able to lead them to the bandit's lair.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Huaixu looked at Jiang Erlang on another tree.
The dense leaves completely blocked their view. She took out a mask to cover the lower half of her face and slid down the tree.
If she wanted to kill these people, it would be more advantageous for her to shoot them directly from the tree. Since she had revealed her figure, Jiang Erlang should be able to guess her purpose.
"Who are you?"
Her sudden voice made several people tense up, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Several people slowly turned around, and after seeing Jiang Huaixu's appearance clearly, they looked at each other for a while. The leader among them asked, "Who are you?"
Jiang Huaixu snorted angrily and pointed at them. "I just heard you guys wanted to arrest my brother Yun Qi. You're definitely not good people!"
She ran down the mountain and said, "I'm going to tell my father and the village chief to come up and catch you!"
“Hey——”
The man called Xiao Er rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Huaixu.
Jiang Huaixu struggled a few times but failed to break free.
When Jiang Erlang on the tree saw this scene, his originally anxious mood calmed down instantly. After thinking about it for a while, he figured out the purpose of Jiang Huaixu's actions.
Even though he had a plan in mind, he still couldn't help but worry. Ordinary hunters would not take people hostage casually, and there were bandits in this place, so the identities of these people would be clear at a glance.
If Jiang Huaixu faces them alone, what if something unexpected happens...
A cold look flashed across his eyes, and Jiang Erlang raised his crossbow and aimed at the group of people under the tree.
The third person in the row of six had a square face and looked very upright and honest. He pulled over the eldest brother in the team and whispered a few words to him.
The team leader looked thoughtful. After a moment, he waved his hand at the waiter, "What are you doing? We're not bandits. Why are you fussing with a little girl?"
The waiter felt aggrieved. Not to mention that they were bandits, the girl he had restrained, although young, was full of strength. She struggled a few times and was almost knocked down by him.
"Let him go! You have no sense at all!" The team leader raised his voice slightly.
The waiter reluctantly let go of the little girl, still rubbing her belly with one hand.
"Second brother, you can't even take care of a child?" someone teased.
"If you have the ability, go and treat it. Why are you just sitting here making sarcastic remarks?"
