The next morning, the two rushed down the mountain after daybreak.
He quickly fed the mule and left.
This time, they chose to pass through the village to see how the village chief's family was doing.
It was hot, so people slept less. Around eight or nine in the morning, many people had already left their houses open to cool off. Seeing the tall mule passing by, they poked their heads out in shock.
"Then, is that Xiaoyue from the Jiang family?"
"I think it looks like... isn't that her son-in-law? He's tall and big, and he looks so fierce!"
"They're looking so good now? They're living the same life as the rich people in the city!"
“…”
When they arrived at the village chief's house, Jiang Yue got out of the car and knocked on the door.
"Uncle village chief, auntie, is anyone home? I'm Jiang Yue."
The village chief's family was preparing to have breakfast. They had to close the door tightly when eating, otherwise there would always be some ignorant people coming in to ask for food.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It seemed to be Jiang Yue. The village chief's wife hurried to open the door.
When she saw the person, she was no less surprised than the villagers.
Jiang Yue has grown so much taller now. She has more flesh on her face and her skin is smooth. She looks very energetic.
"Xiaoyue! Come in quickly!"
As she was speaking, the whole family came out and looked at her in surprise.
Jiang Yue turned sideways so that everyone could see Jiang Nian and the mule cart behind him. "We're not going in. We're in a hurry to get on our way. We just came to see you."
Jiang Nian said, "Uncle, aunt."
The village chief was shocked. What did these two people eat during the disaster? They looked so good, tall and fair.
He came back to his senses, his eyes widened, "Jiang Nian can speak?!"
Jiang Yue smiled and nodded, "It's not that I was born unable to speak, I'm cured now."
"Okay, okay! That's good!" The village chief was very pleased. These two people should live a good life.
Jiang Shan couldn't wait to ask, "Did you come down from the mountain?"
After seeing the two nod, he said, "We went up the mountain once after the snow melted. The herbs there were becoming scarce, and the prey were very aggressive. It was too dangerous, so we retreated."
"You were right to retreat. There's a tiger inside. The prey is having a hard time with this natural disaster. They're very aggressive and hard to hunt."
Everyone took a deep breath. There really was a tiger inside! It was better not to go into the mountains easily. They had only been lucky before.
These two people were able to get down the mountain safely after encountering a tiger. They are really amazing!
Pingya looked at Xiaoyue, who seemed different from the person she had known before. This Xiaoyue was braver and more beautiful than her.
Jiang Yue casually asked about the rabbits. The village chief and his family looked pale and thin, and she thought they would eat them when they were short of food. But Pingya said happily, "The rabbits are growing well!"
Jiang Shan teased her, "It will be sold in two days."
Jiang Yue said sternly, "There are refugees outside now, which is why we have to hurry. You should bring more people with you when you go out, and be more careful even in the village."
The village chief's face tightened, refugees!
After Jiang Yue finished saying what she needed to say, she returned to the car and said goodbye to everyone.
When they heard that there were refugees, they were already distracted and dared not keep them anymore, so they urged them to go back quickly.
Jiang Nian drove the mule cart out of the village and heard no calls from behind.
"Jiang Yue! Jiang Yue!"
"Wait for us, Jiang Yue!"
The village chief's wife stopped Eugene and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Eugene Hua shook her hand off, lifted up her loose pants, and said, "We are Jiang Yue's relatives. It's none of your business to find her! Mind your own business!"
After saying that, the family of four chased after the mule cart.
The village chief's wife wanted to chase after them to stop them, but the village chief stopped her, "Just let them go. How can they catch up with the mule cart when they are so skinny? Even if they catch up, they won't be able to stand up to Jiang Yue and his wife."
When this family of four was penniless, they traded their youngest daughter for two buckets of black flour, and stole vegetables and food from everywhere. They survived until today, but are only a skeleton left. They ran so hard that their shoes fell off, but they still couldn't catch up with the mule cart.
They panted and stopped to watch the mule cart go away. They regretted not chatting outside today. If they had known earlier that the couple would return to the village today, they could have taken the mule cart into the city to enjoy life.
Eugene's family had a very hard life, so they sent their youngest daughter away as a servant, thinking she was their lifeline. But when she disappeared without a trace, they knew they had been tricked.
After becoming desperate, he regarded Jiang Yue as another life-saving straw and completely forgot about the abuse he had done to her before. He only remembered that the two families were close relatives and he should not ignore their lives.
The four men sat slumped on the roadside covered in flying yellow dust, scorched by the sun and almost fainting.
"Mom, the mule cart has stopped!" Jiang Erfu had good eyesight and saw the mule cart parked on the side of the road from a distance.
Eugene Hua seemed to see hope again, and she ran forward desperately, holding the hands of her two sons.
Jiang Yue and the other man looked at the row of refugees blocking the road with unfriendly eyes.
If Jiang Nian hadn't been so sharp-eyed as to notice two hemp ropes lying on the roadside, when their car arrived, the refugees on both sides would have pulled and lifted the ropes, and their car would have been destroyed and they would have died.
Although this group of refugees were also dressed in rags, they were more numerous than the ones in the morning, looked stronger, and had more greed in their eyes.
The rest of the people were unarmed, only the strongest middle-aged man in the middle was holding a worn kitchen knife.
"Leave the mule cart and the woman here, you can go." He pointed at Jiang Nian and cast a malicious look at Jiang Yue behind him.
Jiang Nian was filled with murderous intent. He picked up the butcher knife Jiang Yue had given him and got out of the car.
Jiang Yue also held a long knife in his hand.
The refugees had no idea that the two men actually had two knives, which looked even sharper. Their legs instantly went weak with fear. They were just ordinary people, forced into robbery.
The burly man in the middle tried to maintain his composure and shouted, "Brothers! They are only one man and one woman, what are you afraid of? We have eight of us! If we don't kill them, we will starve to death!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the refugees who had retreated became determined and rushed forward again.
Jiang Nian went straight to the center, while Jiang Yue was responsible for protecting the mule cart.
The refugees had no strength to fight, charging forward on their own valor. They were starving, so how could they have the strength? Jiang Nian struck at their vital points with every strike of his sword.
Those who ran to the back were also dealt with by Jiang Yue.
In less than half a minute, all eight people fell down, and blood spread on the ground.
There were footsteps behind them, and the two men turned around, blood flowing down the blade, and the cold murderous intent in their eyes stabbed at the newcomer.
