"I finally found you!"
Jiang Yue was hugged tightly by him, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood. The two cotton-padded jackets, one large and one small, of the same style, were placed at his feet.
The straw hat slipped off, she pointed the knife downwards, hugged him back, buried her face in his chest, and choked with sobs, "Jiang Nian, you're finally here."
She really felt like she hadn't seen him for a long time, and she couldn't stand missing him like this.
Jiang Nian's wildly beating heart finally had a chance to breathe. If he couldn't find someone, he would go crazy.
He held her face with both hands, and seeing the wound on her forehead, his voice trembled, "Yueyue, you are hurt!"
Without waiting for Jiang Yue to explain, the third brother was so horny that he was about to go crazy. That was his wife!
The boss was not as stupid as him. Seeing the powerful knife in her hand and now there was such a strong man, he didn't expect that she actually had a husband and was still alive.
He blew a few whistles, and a dozen young men and women ran out of the village, armed with knives, guns, sticks and clubs, and surrounded them in an instant.
The third brother was anxious. He yelled at the man, "Let her go! She's my wife!"
Then he said, "My dear, if you stay here and become my bride, I will ask my elder brother to let him go."
Jiang Nian turned his head abruptly, the red in his eyes becoming more intense. He let go of the person in his arms and said in a cold tone, word by word, "What did you say?"
The third brother wanted to shout, but a gust of wind rushed towards his face.
With a heavy "crack", his neck was broken by a punch and he fell to the ground.
Jiang Nian knelt on one knee, clenched his right fist, and with a fierce look in his eyes, he punched him again and again until his skull was shattered and his brains splattered out. Only then did he stop.
His eyes were half-closed, his fists hanging at his sides, blood flowing down, and his voice was filled with suppressed rage.
"She is mine!"
The woman was frightened by the madman. She covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes filled with shock and fear as she screamed. The accomplices around her were also terrified when they saw this tragic scene. They didn't think killing people in this way was possible.
The speed was so fast that the bearded boss was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Third brother!"
He rushed forward with a knife and slashed at Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian was not afraid at all. He was faster than him and knocked the man to the ground with just his fists in three or two strokes. The hatchet was also kicked away and the man lay on the ground, not daring to move.
He looked at the woman beside him with murderous intent in his eyes. The woman fell to her knees and said, "I, I was wrong! Please forgive me!"
Jiang Nian didn't believe what these people said. He kicked the woman away until she lay on the ground motionless.
She also brought down the group of people who had besieged Jiang Yue. She didn't kill them, but she didn't let them off lightly, leaving them with many wounds and a river of blood.
They dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
Jiang Nian walked over, put his arm around her shoulders, then took the knife from her hand and pointed it at those people.
At this time, the old man in the wooden house came out tremblingly.
He is blind, but his ears and nose are very sensitive.
The strong smell of blood made his hands and feet go weak. Perhaps because he knew the other party was a good person, he spoke boldly, "Young lady, can you help save the villagers?"
Jiang Nian was on guard, thinking this man was also an accomplice of the other party. Jiang Yue pressed his hand down and asked the old man, "Aren't these people from the village?"
He shook his head. "These people are bandits. They came to the village a few days ago and tied up all the villagers in the ancestral hall at the end of the village. They wanted to force them to tell if they had any food..."
In other words, he was a blind old man and there was really not much money to be made, so he was let go and not arrested.
Jiang Yue contacted Wu Shi and heard what the two men said. Perhaps the villagers were unwilling to speak out, so they had not been killed yet.
She gathered all the people together and walked towards the ancestral hall at the end of the village.
There were more than forty people in the ancestral hall, young and old, all tied up and with cloth strips stuffed in their mouths. When they saw the bandits coming in from the door, their already sallow faces became even uglier, and they were trembling with fear.
Jiang Yue and the other person supported the old man and walked behind him.
The bandits were injured and covered in blood, kneeling on the side waiting for their fate.
The villagers were all confused by this scene.
Jiang Yue took a knife and untied the ropes that bound the villagers' hands and feet.
The old man said tremblingly, "These two are good people. They came to save us."
The villagers were obviously familiar with the old man, and they were very happy to hear this. They were finally saved!
The old, weak, women and children huddled together and cried, while the men rushed forward, venting their anger on the bandits with gritted teeth.
Some kicked, some hit with fists, and some beat with sticks.
"I told you to do evil! You are such beasts!"
"My wife was forced to death by you! You are worse than beasts!"
"And my dad was scared to death by you! You are worse than animals!"
"Beat them to death! They beat my son beyond recognition!"
“…”
The ancestral hall was instantly filled with shouts, wails, and pleas for mercy. In the end, even the elderly, the weak, women, and children rushed forward to beat people, and the scene became a mess.
Jiang Yue noticed the burning gaze and turned her head. Jiang Nian was staring at her. She smiled and took Jiang Nian's hand, interlocking their fingers.
After a while, it was getting dark again.
She looked outside and saw that the moderate rain had turned into drizzle, like thin silver threads connected into a line.
A middle-aged man limped over with bruises on his face, probably having been interrogated by the bandits.
He bowed deeply to Jiang Yue and the other two, "I am the village chief, my last name is He, thank you two for saving our entire village!"
The others also gathered around and thanked them.
Jiang Yue didn't say much, just asked, "We'll probably need to stay overnight tonight. Who's the owner of the fourth stone house?"
Village Chief He's face was gloomy. "That house belonged to my uncle, but they lost it in a natural disaster a long time ago. The house is well built, my lady and my husband can live here with peace of mind."
After Jiang Yue thanked the village chief, the two of them returned to the house.
As for what to do with those bandits, she didn't really care.
The key to the courtyard gate was found on the woman. Jiang Yue looked at several rooms and finally chose the small room where she had slept.
After entering the house, Jiang Yue took off her straw hat and raincoat, which had become particularly heavy after being soaked in water.
Jiang Nian hugged her tightly from behind, his hot breath spraying on her neck.
Jiang Yue touched his head. Both of them were wet, and a puddle formed where they stood.
She turned around and touched the belt of his clothes, "Take off the wet clothes, don't get sick."
"Also, what's wrong with your left hand? Let me see."
