308 Alarmed
Chen Jiang was talking excitedly when he was suddenly interrupted. He looked a little unhappy, but when he saw Jiang He’s mother’s anxious expression, he said to Xiao Sheng, “There might be something urgent, so I’ll go have a chat with her first.”
After Xiao Sheng nodded, Chen Jiang followed Jiang He’s mother a few meters towards the door and stopped to ask. Jiang He’s mother told him what she had seen just now. “I also heard something about a large army at the village entrance. I was a little far away at that time, so I couldn’t hear clearly.”
Chen Jiang’s expression froze. When he looked at Xiao Sheng, his previous amiable expression turned cold.
Yu Bing thought to herself that this was bad, but at this moment, she could only deal with whatever came her way.
Frightened by Chen Jiang’s sudden change of expression, she approached Xiao Sheng timidly and quickly explained what had just happened in a low voice.
Xiao Sheng’s expression didn’t change, but he was already prepared for the worst.
Before the matter was resolved, Chen Jiang naturally wouldn’t lay things out on the table immediately. No matter what, he had to find someone to go to the village entrance to investigate the situation before making plans. If it was a misunderstanding, he would lose the opportunity to earn extra money. “It’s not easy for two guests to come all the way here, so let’s go to my house to rest first.”
Xiao Sheng’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that this meant they had been exposed, but he still nodded calmly. “Then I’ll oblige.”
As he spoke, he approached Chen Jiang. Before Chen Jiang could react, he suddenly punched Chen Jiang’s temple.
Jiang He’s mother was so frightened that her face turned pale. Just as she was about to shout, Yu Bing pressed a dagger to her neck. “Watch your mouth, or I’ll slash your neck!”
With her life in Yu Bing’s hands, Jiang He’s mother quickly nodded.
Seeing that the situation had been stabilized, Yu Bing heaved a sigh of relief. As she felt the sweat in her palm, she felt a lingering fear.
However, in the next moment, an exclamation came from outside the door, instantly disrupting the situation.
“Yu Bing!”
A familiar voice made Yu Bing look out the door. It was Dashan’s mother!
After Dashan’s mother was beaten up, she stayed at her brother’s house for the night. Because she was anxious about whether Dashan would find his wife, she immediately rushed back after she felt a little better.
It was precisely because of this that Dashan’s mother happened to miss the rescue team going to the village to save people. She didn’t expect to see the scene in front of her.
After recovering from her shock, she immediately ran towards the entrance of the village. As she ran, she shouted, “Help! There are outsiders killing people!”
Xiao Sheng immediately chased after her, while Yu Bing knocked Jiang He’s mother unconscious and found a bunch of keys from her body. She hurriedly released Tian Lin and anxiously arranged, “Think of a way to report to the main force! They’re in the forest at the entrance of the village. Find them and tell someone called Zhao Xing about the situation in the village.”
Tian Lin asked in surprise, “What about you?! All the women they caught ended up miserable!”
The reason Yu Bing arranged this was because she was an unfamiliar face and wasn’t familiar with the way. The two of them were too conspicuous and it wouldn’t be easy to hide from them. At that time, they would really be helpless.
Yu Bing said with a serious expression, “Don’t worry about me. I have my own arrangements. Hurry up and leave!”
Seeing this, Tian Lin didn’t continue to persuade her. She turned around and jogged out the door.
On the other side, Xiao Sheng had caught Dashan’s mother, but the matter had already spread. Xiao Sheng could only bring Dashan’s mother back to the Jiang family’s home first.
Yu Bing, who was looking for handy tools in the room, saw Xiao Sheng enter and asked, “What should we do next?”
Xiao Sheng frowned at Dashan’s mother. Dashan’s mother’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Xiao Sheng looking at her coldly. After she looked at the two people who had already been knocked down to the ground, she mustered her courage to say, “The village is filled with our people. You can’t escape. If you let me go, I can help you plead for leniency.”
Xiao Sheng sneered and knocked her out with his knife. Then, he pulled Yu Bing’s arm. “Let’s leave quickly. Those villagers will find us soon.”
Yu Bing nodded, and the two of them left Jiang He’s house.
Xiao Sheng had only strolled around the vicinity just now and didn’t know the terrain well, so he and Yu Bing found a place to hide and look for suitable weapons.
When the two of them saw that a certain house’s door was unlocked, they hurriedly pushed the door open and entered. They saw a crippled middle-aged woman cooking. When she sensed the two strangers in front of her, she picked up the kitchen knife warily and asked, “Who are you two?!”
Yu Bing immediately went forward with a smile. “We came to the food factory to buy chili.”
