It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 267

He Sanmei was finally stunned by a small piece of dry biscuit that Jiang Lu tore off. The biscuit was only as big as two fingers put together, but she sat on the ground and nibbled it bit by bit, completely forgetting her previous sadness.

Aunt Yu stared at her for a long time, still believing she was pretending. She didn't refute being called a fool because she felt guilty, and she simply wasn't willing to apologize or express gratitude for her previous behavior of holding back.

But now was not the time to argue about this. Aunt Yu ate the little rations that Jiang Lu squeezed out, and in return, she offered to help everyone keep watch.

No matter how bright the moonlight is at night, it is still difficult to see clearly. Jiang Yan is not willing to entrust his safety to outsiders.

First, I am not sure how reliable Aunt Yu is in this matter. Second, everyone is generally malnourished at that time, and it is common for people to have blurred vision and hearing problems as they get older.

But it was not easy to reject Aunt Yu's kindness outright. Jiang Yan thought about it and asked Zhou Huan to take turns to accompany her on duty.

Zhou Huan was the youngest and had the best night vision of the group. Of course, that didn't include He Sanmei, who sat quietly and ignored everyone.

In the early hours of the morning, a few people quietly returned to Dongshan Village.

"Brother, people are on guard against and trying to drive us away everywhere. What are we going to do for food and drink these days?" The man tilted his head slightly and asked the bearded man worriedly about the next plan.

Yesterday they had gone early and plundered a village cut off from public communication. They had barely eaten the food they had robbed, and before they had time to move or hide, they ran into a large group of bandits.

Although they were denounced as bandits when they entered the village to rob things, they knew that they had only been transformed from refugees for a few days and there was still a big gap between them and real bandits.

The twenty-man team was soon beaten to pieces. The eldest brother, because he looked the most ferocious, was surrounded and beaten by several people, and soon lost the ability to fight back.

The man couldn't bear it, so he and a few of his companions who still remembered their loyalty rescued the person and ran away. However, during the chase, the food bag that was tied tightly around his body disappeared.

"Brother?" The man waited for a moment but saw no answer, so he anxiously weighed the person a few times.

The bearded man was still drowsy, and said weakly, "Find a cellar, dig in the mountains."

……

The development of the matter was beyond Jiang Yan's imagination.

Late in the night, after she finished her duty at Tiankeng Mountain, not long after she lay down, a group of people appeared at the foot of the mountain, then quickly climbed halfway up the mountain and stopped not far from Jiang Yan and her group's base.

Before Jiang Yan and the others could throw stones or take up weapons to fight the enemy, and before Jiang Lu and Zhou Huan could pack up their things and evacuate, a familiar-looking person walked out from among the group amid He Sanmei's screams.

"Jiang Yan."

"Uncle Fu?" Jiang Yan's voice was hesitant, filled with shock and disbelief. After not seeing him for two months, Uncle Jiang Fu had two long scars on his face.

Jiang Lu quickly walked forward when he heard the voice. After confirming that it was someone he knew, he immediately relaxed.

A moment later, Jiang Lu, who had already reached the foot of the mountain, whispered to Jiang Yan, "I thought Uncle Wang and his men had installed the lock on the door of that cave, but I didn't expect it to have become someone else's. I wonder what's hidden there, such a treasure."

The strange man who was guarding a few people nearby only heard a few words and instinctively knew that they were not good, so he glared at the two of them in a warning.

About two hours later, Jiang Yan followed the group back to Dongshan Village.

Uncle Jiang Fu said that they will stay in the village for a while until peace returns to the county and its suburbs.

The safety of the village is guaranteed! Jiang Yan couldn't control the upward curve of his lips, and the distress of water shortage in recent days was temporarily forgotten.

As Jiang Yan was having fun, his gaze slowly turned to the hen in his hand that was struggling from time to time.

It turns out that she has kept it until now just to facilitate this favor.
