Chapter 49 Crisis
"No, no, no," the woman declined quickly and took two steps back: "We don't want to go to the city anymore. Please help me, brother, to take us back to the village. We have a doctor in the village."

Her eyes turned red as she spoke, and her tone started to tremble when she talked about the city, as if she was extremely scared.

Alas, Jiang Mingshun sighed in his heart. He, who was just watching in the restaurant, was horrified by the scene. Those who really escaped death must be frightened to death.

At this moment, the child in the woman's arms suddenly started crying.

Seeing the little child crying heartbrokenly, Jiang Mingshun softened his heart and said to the woman, "Come up here."

The woman's eyes lit up, her face filled with gratitude, and she kept saying, "Thank you, thank you, brother."

She walked to the car with the child in her arms, first picked up several children, and then said to Jiang Ming apologetically: "Brother, can you help me help my man up?"

Jiang Mingshun got off the mule cart and the woman lifted up the man sitting on the ground on the left and right.

Jiang Jinyu sat in front of the car and helped them lift the car curtain.

The man bent over and got into the car. As they crossed paths, Jiang Jinyu's eyes swept across the man's face, and his brows jumped suddenly.

"Dad," she called to Jiang Mingshun, who was about to drive, and said coquettishly to him: "Please take me to sit in the front. I don't want to sit in the back."

Jiang Mingshun regarded her as a child and carried her forward.

The mule train was soon in action.

With the sound of running mules, Jiang Jinyu whispered in Jiang Mingshun's ear: "Dad, I know the man behind you."

"We just met in the restaurant!"

"The one who ran up from outside!"

Jiang Mingshun's hand holding the reins paused, and his expression suddenly became tense.

He was standing to the side when he helped the person, and the man deliberately lowered his head. He really didn't see what the person looked like.

But he knew that his daughter never talked nonsense. If she said it was the guy in the restaurant, that must be it.

Why do you say you didn't enter the inner city when you were clearly someone who came out?
How could he have a wife and children when he was alone in the restaurant?

No matter what they meant, they still lied to him.

Jiang Mingshun was worried because he couldn't go any further. He was not far from the city gate now, and he could occasionally meet a few people on the road.

If we go further and reach a more remote place, who knows if we will still meet people?

After all, Jiang Jinyu is someone who has experienced information bombardment.

After briefly recalling the men and women who had just gotten into the car, I discovered the problem.

Needless to say, the man was basically the same person in the restaurant, and the woman's movement of holding the child didn't look like she had given birth to three children.

Not to mention the three children, Jiang Jinyu thought with horror, except for the youngest who could cry a few words, the two older children were actually not awake!
What else could this be but a human trafficker?
So these two people quietly glanced at the carriage behind them. Are they coming for her or her mule cart?

Jiang Jinyu whispered her thoughts to Jiang Mingshun.

Jiang Mingshun had no expression on his face and only nodded slightly.

The mule cart slowed down, and Jiang Mingshun followed the fork in the road, leaving the usual shortcut and headed straight for the official road.

He just hoped that there would be more people in the official circles, he prayed secretly in his heart.

After another quarter of an hour, the people behind finally couldn't hold it any longer.

"Brother," the woman opened the curtain and said, "Can you find a place to stop?"

"My man wants to make it easier."

Jiang Mingshun and Jiang Jinyu looked at each other and thought, here it comes.

Neither of them noticed that they had changed paths, and they were obviously not locals.

In this case, Jiang Ming planned to delay it for a while, so as to get closer to the official road.

"Just bear with it a little longer," he kept moving his hands to drive the car, and said with a slight hesitation in his tone: "There are many wild animals here, so let's go a little further." "Okay, then I'll bother you, brother." The woman said again Put down the curtain.

They walked forward like this for two-quarters of an hour, during which the woman came to ask twice more, but Jiang Mingshun refused each time on the excuse of not being safe.

"Brother," finally, the man inside also spoke, his tone a little impatient: "Can you stop now? I can't hold it in anymore."

Jiang Mingshun knew that he could not delay it any longer.

He stopped the mule cart on the side of the road, tightened his grip on the whip that drove the cart, and tensed up all over.

The woman got out of the car first, turned around and said to Jiang Ming, "Brother, please help me get my man down."

Jiang Mingshun turned a deaf ear and whipped the mule when the woman's hands left the car.

"Ah!" A woman exclaimed from behind.

The unsuspecting man fell into the carriage.

Jiang Jinyu hugged her father's waist tightly, her hair falling down due to the bumps of the carriage.

"Brother," Jiang Mingshun shouted to the back: "This mule was frightened tonight."

"I'm afraid I'm going crazy now!"

"You sit still!"

No one said anything inside. I wonder if they haven't woken up yet after being hit on the car board.

Jiang Mingshun didn't care about anything else, he only waved his whip to speed up.

It's just that mules are not horses after all, and no matter how fast they are, there is a limit.

The man in the car reacted quickly. He grabbed the window with both hands and suddenly said, "You know?"

Jiang Ming shook his hand and the whip fell on the mule. The mule, which had been slowing down, sped up again.

The man was prepared this time, and he swayed slightly, but still sat firmly in the carriage.

Jiang Jinyu clutched her father's clothes tightly with both hands, turned her head with difficulty and looked back, and was immediately shocked.

The wind blew open the door curtain in front of the car, and the cold light flashed across the man's hand.

"Dad!" Jiang Jinyu screamed and shouted with a trembling voice: "He has a knife!"

The man had begun to move slowly towards the door.

This can't go on like this, Jiang Jinyu thought anxiously. Her father wanted to control the mule cart and couldn't even resist.

Her eyes were fixed on the man who was still moving forward even though he was bumped by the mountain path.

Suddenly there was a flash of inspiration in my mind.

"Dad," Jiang Jinyu said close to her father's ear: "Quickly pull the reins and jump down!"

Jiang Mingshun was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously tightened the reins, and the mule cart stopped instantly.

He was prepared first, and rolled down with Jiang Jinyu in his arms the moment the mule cart stopped.

Fortunately, there was an open space next to them, and the two of them only rolled a few times before stopping.

Jiang Jinyu was held in his arms, but she didn't feel any pain. However, the impact of hitting the ground and the subsequent rolling made her dizzy for a while.

Jiang Mingshun didn't care whether he was injured or not, he picked up a stone and ran back to the mule cart.

The man in the carriage was obviously badly thrown and was huddled in the corner, covering his head.

Jiang Mingshun gritted his teeth, climbed into the car and hit the man on the head with a stone.

"Ah!" The man roared in pain, and blood instantly flowed from his head.
