Chapter 31 Rescue
  The bandits retreat just as quickly as they come!

Seeing the bandits walking away, the villagers hurried over and the village chief asked the injured people: "Are you okay?"

Looking at these injured and dead people, I felt that the question was a bit redundant, so I turned around and shouted: "Old man Zhai, come here!"

Old man Zhai squeezed in from behind again. He went to get the medicine box. These people just had stab wounds and needed medicine.

The people in the village didn't dare to stay. If these bandits were unwilling to give in and came back to kill them, they wouldn't be able to report to the official if they didn't rely on the village in front or the ground behind them! What's more, there are too many murderers and hustlers in the wild mountains and ridges in these troubled times.

The reporting officer may not be able to find out more, so the best thing to do now is to leave quickly before the bandits can react.

"Old man Zhai, are these people okay? If it's not serious, go back to the local area for treatment and stop the bleeding first. Oops, what if these bandits react and bring more people over?"

The more he spoke, the more urgent he said, "Liu Erhu, hurry up and see if their carriages and horses are still usable? Go get them quickly and get the people on them first. But you have to leave quickly! We can't stay here any longer."

After the village chief finished speaking, the young people in the village consciously went to look at the luxurious carriage in front. There was nothing wrong with the carriage. How many extra horses were there?

We couldn't take these guards with us anymore, so we consulted the guards and put them on the bullock carts to take them with us, and then take a look when they were farther away.

A group of people hurriedly cleaned up the mess, hurriedly cleaned the scene, and set off.

Originally, there were a lot of luggage in the village, and with the addition of a few new people on hand, the speed could not be improved. Even lunch consisted of solid food, and we had to walk forward for more than 30 kilometers before stopping.

Well, very good. The village chief is satisfied with this place. It is a flat land with a small slope, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If someone were to chase them, they would be able to see them from a long distance away. It was still very close to the main road, but as long as they didn't light up the lights, it wouldn't be easy for outsiders to spot them.

After the people in the village were settled, they had time to ask about the situation of the rescued people.

An Ningning held two little ones in her arms, tilted her head, looked at the injured woman with an innocent and cute look, and held a little boy in her arms.

Well, he was dressed in a rich brocade with fine stitching, a piece of mutton-fat white jade hanging from his belt, and a child's melon skin hat on his head, both inlaid with emeralds.

What a rich young man, with curled eyelashes and handsome and delicate features.

Well, she looks a bit like a girl!

Look at the injured woman again. She is dressed in silk and satin and gold and jade, which makes her rich and distinguished. Even though her hair is messy, her facial features are extremely white and delicate. She is the kind who looks beautiful even if she is wearing a sack.

The little boy was relatively shy. When he saw An Ningning staring at her rudely in the woman's arms, he shyly turned his head and threw himself into the woman's arms.

Because she is a woman, the village chief specially asked Mrs. An to come with her. They were fleeing from famine, so it would not be good to keep this mother and son with them!

"Sister, are your injuries okay?" Mrs. An spoke at the village chief's signal.

"They are all minor injuries, nothing serious." After saying that, he stood up and took his son to salute everyone. "Thank you all for saving me for what happened today. My kindness, the little lady has taken note of it. I will thank you all when I get home." Mrs. An quickly helped them sit down and said, "Sit down quickly, you are injured. Hey, don't be too polite. Even if others see it, they won't stand idly by. It's just that we are all ordinary mountain people." People have no martial arts skills, and they don’t have the power to protect themselves when encountering tough bandits.”

After speaking, he looked at the village chief. The village chief was a little speechless. He just said whatever he said. When did Mrs. An become so polite? "Madam, I dare to ask what is going on with these gangsters. Are they just passing by? Or are they being paid to kill?" Chasing you?"

Miao Mengyao understood the meaning of the village chief's question, and the bitterness in her mouth was revealed: "It's hard to explain. Something happened at home. My son's father had an accident last year. He hasn't been found yet. My son and I live alone in the garden of my husband's house. Here. I heard that something happened to my parents' family, so we, mother and son, rushed back with guards. Now I'm not sure whether the news is true or not."

After she finished speaking, tears flowed down her face. She knelt on her knees and cried, "I don't care, but my son is young. However, if something happens to my parents' family, I will definitely have to go back. Can you let my son follow you for the time being?"

There are some belongings in the carriage. I can pay for my son's food first. "

Mrs. An didn't dare to agree to this. He looked at the village chief. The village chief was actually quite embarrassed. He was worried that he would be implicated! Those bandits were too fierce, and it was far beyond the force of their village to deal with them. If it weren't for Old Man Zhai's enhanced version of the drug that scared away the bandits, it would be difficult for them to escape unscathed.

"Madam, you have also seen that we are wearing our luggage. We are fleeing from famine. It is not easy to get here all the way. There is still a long way to go from where we want to go. I'm afraid it will be difficult for your master to follow us. I can bear the pain."

Miao Mengyao shed tears and said pitifully: "It's good to be alive, as long as I have a bite of my son's food. Wait for me to go back to my parents' house to see the situation. Follow me, and you will see the dangers along the way. Parents are filial, I definitely can't stand by if something happens to my parents' family. My son is young and will have a good life in the future. I hope he is safe in the future."

An Ningning stood between the village chief and Mrs. An, looking at the pitiful woman and her extraordinary status. It wouldn't be a problem to take this young boy with her. Anyway, she could be saved.

She shook the village chief's sleeve and said, "Grandpa village chief, I can take care of my little brother, just let him follow us!"

The village chief touched An Ningning's head, "You kid, this is obviously my brother, don't scream."

When the child across the street heard that this little pudding called him brother, he puffed up his mouth and turned his head angrily. He was no taller than this little guy, so why did he call his brother so much?

Miao Mengyao listened to the girl's childish words and looked at her son with a smile. Knowing that the village chief had agreed, she quickly pulled him out and said, "Ye'er, come quickly. Thank you to the village chief's grandfather, grandma and this little sister."

The village chief waved his hand and said, "You guys can discuss what you need, and I'll tell the others." Now that the decision has been made, Ning Yatou likes it anyway, so the child can stay with their family! Anyway, they have many children at home, so the village chief happily acquiesced.

Mrs. An was actually a little reluctant, but her granddaughter asked the village chief to keep someone. It was not good for the family to take over the work and let the rest of the village do the work.

Sambo, who was herding deer on the side, saw that the conversation was over and came over quickly to find An Ningning. "Ning Bao, come here and see my little deer. It ate grass today and is very well-behaved."

Miao Mengyao pushed Ye'er and asked her to go and play. She went to the carriage to see if there was anything she could keep. She was in a hurry to go back this time and didn't prepare much. But the son will live with them for a period of time in the future. It can be seen that these people are very simple and have some strength. Following them is safer than following him back to his parents' home.

After finishing her work, she could come to pick him up. If she really had to go back and narrowly escape death, that would be her fate, so she could leave more things for her child.

Miao Mengyao wiped her tears and rummaged around in the carriage.
