The words of the man in front of him became more and more unreasonable. Although he was smiling, he seemed to be holding a thin layer of anger.
Jiang Nianjiao didn't know where his unreasonable anger came from.
And she had never seen such a shameless person. She was about to take her hand away. This time, Zhao Yanzhen did not force her, but before she pulled away, he still pecked Jiang Nianjiao's wrist.
"Jiaojiao, think about it carefully."
After saying that, he didn't care about Jiang Nianjiao's reaction and just moved forward.
Although Jiang Nianjiao was not clever, she could only keep up.
However, those words he just said still lingered in Jiang Nianjiao's mind.
Who in the Jiang family deserves her protection?
Especially when she knew that her ruthless father was dating married women behind her mother's back, why did she still subconsciously choose to protect the Jiang family.
It's a pity that after thinking about it, she couldn't come to a conclusion at all.
She seemed to have done this subconsciously. Perhaps she could only attribute this to the fact that she and the Jiang family both prospered and suffered losses.
At this time, Zhao Yanzhen passed through the group of thatched houses and climbed up the back mountain on foot. Perhaps because he was still thinking about Jiang Nianjiao's previous words, he did not deliberately slow down for this reason.
Jiang Nianjiao could only follow in an extremely embarrassed manner.
They didn't know how long they had been walking before they saw a large hole newly dug in the back mountain that had not yet been buried.
There were many dying or dead people lying in the pit.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Nianjiao was even more shocked.
One of them, a skinny old woman with all her teeth missing, seemed to have heard the coming. She immediately dragged her broken leg and said, "Son, are you back?"
Her eyes were cloudy and dull, as if she had been blind for a long time. The entire leg seemed to have been broken. She could only rely on her hands to crawl over to them in the pile of dead people in the deep pit.
The earthy smell mixed with the rotten smell, everything here shocked Jiang Nianjiao.
Those who caused them to end up like this should indeed be severely punished.
But she was also afraid that Emperor Yong would take advantage of the situation and implicate the entire Jiang family, just like before his rebirth.
But today's tragic situation is obviously not something that can be solved by one person alone.
Moreover, this matter has become a big deal, and Emperor Yong may know about it sooner or later.
"Grandma, it's me." Zhao Yanzhen picked up the old man and said softly at the same time.
Although the old man heard that the voice on the other side was not his son's, he obviously still had some hope: "My dear, have you found my son?"
Zhao Yanzhen only lowered his eyes to hide the gloom in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "Of course I found it. I was about to pick up grandma."
After hearing this, the grandma's dark, thin and deeply wrinkled face showed a faint smile.
At this time, she also tremblingly took out a blue ledger from her arms: "My dear, this is the ledger you asked me to keep. It's enough for the old woman to know that her son is safe."
After Zhao Yanzhen took the account book, he only said, "Thank you for your hard work, grandma, but when I come here this time, in addition to getting the account book back, I also plan to take grandma out of here."
While speaking, he only handed the account book to Jiang Nianjiao, "You can hide it for now. I'm afraid it's inconvenient right now."
Jiang Nianjiao was not ambiguous. Although she was afraid that Emperor Yong would use the topic to his advantage, she obviously didn't want anything to happen to these people.
So at this moment, at least her and Zhao Yanzhen's goals are still the same.
Zhao Yanzhen, after Jiang Nianjiao hid the account book, turned around and said to the old woman, "Grandma, can I carry you to see your son?"
But the old man shook his head and said, "It's still not possible. The old woman can't see her eyes and her legs are useless. Now she can't do anything. It's not easy for Ah Huan and the others. I can't hurt him anymore." I can’t trouble you anymore.”
"Grandma, I won't get involved. I can properly arrange for your son, and I can also properly arrange for you. Come with me quickly." Zhao Yanzhen comforted him.
The old man was obviously determined to die, and she shook her head stubbornly.
At the same time, Jiang Nianjiao could hear the rustling of grass and trees, thinking that someone might be going up the mountain.
She just whispered, "Someone is coming,
Grandma, just let him carry you down the mountain. He really wants to save you. If you don't let him leave, the three of us may end up here. "
Jiang Nianjiao's words were obviously more effective. After hearing her words, the old man finally climbed up Zhao Yanzhen's back with Jiang Nianjiao's help.
Then Zhao Yanzhen led the people deep into the jungle.
But they didn't dare to go far at this time. After all, they could hear the rustling sounds of others walking through the mountains and forests against the grass and trees. Couldn't others hear their voices?
Fortunately, the back mountain is inaccessible, with thick bushes and dense shade. It's a natural protective site.
As the sounds in the forest got closer and closer, the men in black robes who had been distributing porridge and water also appeared in front of the pit.
Each of them was holding iron bars, and they were obviously planning to cover the pit.
But seeing that there were still some dying people in the pit, one of the men in black robes just muttered to himself, "There are still some people who are not dead. The vitality of these untouchables is really tenacious."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get to work." After saying that, the man just sprinkled some powder into the deep pit. Following the pleas of the people who were still struggling, those people waved shovels and began to shovel the thin soil into the pit. Buried in a pit.
Seeing these people showing such disregard for humanity, Jiang Nianjiao really wanted to rush out for a moment.
It's a pity that she didn't expect that she would encounter such a thing when she came, so the manpower she brought with her was simply not enough.
Moreover, Zhao Yanzhen only held her hand at this time. @
The arriving people patted down the last shovelful of soil, scattered a layer of fallen leaves on the flat land, and turned around to leave.
Jiang Nianjiao subconsciously wanted to dig out the pit with her hands.
Zhao Yanzhen took her hand and said, "They are hopeless, don't waste your efforts. Moreover, these people also added things left by people who died from the epidemic. If we don't have enough power to subdue the people here, let's not do it first." act rashly."
Jiang Nianjiao heard Zhao Yanzhen's words. Although she felt sad in her heart, she could only move forward.
In fact, she still doesn't understand why her farm became such a place.
The three of them walked back and forth like this for who knows how long. The two people who were in a state of embarrassment seemed to be even more embarrassed at this time.
After climbing over the back mountain, we saw a water moor with a small boat parked on it.
As long as they get on a small boat, they may be able to leave here through the water.
It's a pity that those men in black robes had obviously expected this, and they only guarded the waterfront very tightly.
Seeing that it was impossible to successfully break through the defense here, he was obviously a little depressed.
But now these people are already patrolling here.
Even though he was unwilling to do so, he could only reluctantly find another way out.
Jiang Nianjiao sighed softly, thinking about how Cui Qiao and his friends were doing.
If they were there, they might be able to tear open a hole bluntly, but right now there is only a prince who is not very skilled in martial arts and can only barely defend himself, an eldest lady who knows nothing, and an old man who is obviously weak.
Such a combination simply has no chance of waiting to die.
"We'd better retreat into the mountains! My secret guards will come here after finding out the situation of the iron ore factory on the Xuanyan side." Zhao Yanzhen whispered.
Although Jiang Nianjiao felt that what Zhao Yanzhen said was more reliable than praying to Cui Qiao and the others to find her soon.
But it is obvious that these patrols will not leave here in a short time.
In order not to be exposed, they naturally stayed as far away from here as possible.
But it's a pity that God is destined not to let them escape so smoothly.
The grandma Zhao Yanzhen was carrying suddenly sneezed at this moment.
Although the sneeze was not loud, it was because it was too close to the patrolling area, and those people's ears were really good.
Soon they still felt the movement here.
One of the men in black robes only said "Who is there" with extra vigilance.
At the same time, a group of people came only towards the bushes on the back mountain.
At this time, such a situation is simply unavoidable.
I'm afraid it will only be a matter of time before the three of them are found.
thing.
In particular, the grandma seriously slowed down the pace of several people.
At this critical moment, Zhao Yanzhen still let the old woman down. Then he glanced at Jiang Nianjiao and said, "No matter what happens later, don't come out! After I lead the people away, you can get on the boat immediately. There will be a meeting on the shore." Someone will help you, and then you should quickly go find Chen Jinghuai!"
After saying this, Zhao Yanzhen quickly emerged from the bushes.
Then he just went in the opposite direction.
Jiang Nianjiao watched with fear as the group of men in black robes quickly followed Zhao Yanzhen towards the mountain road on the left after discovering him.
And Zhao Yanzhen seemed to think that provoking these black-robed men was not enough. He just held up a blue ledger and said, "I have the things here."
As a result, the one or two men in black robes who originally planned to guard here no longer care about defense.
They only chased Zhao Yanzhen at the same time.
And these people are no better than the rabble led by the leader of Huanyuan Farm. They were extremely fast on their feet, and they were obviously all practitioners.
Although Zhao Yanzhen had some skills, he was still struggling. It would only be a matter of time before he was caught.
The old lady obviously felt guilty for her sneezing just now. "It's all me who hurt you, young man, just leave me alone. Let the old lady fend for herself."
Jiang Nianjiao didn't care to pursue so much. The account book was something to be given away, but nothing could happen to Zhao Yanzhen.
She only looked at the direction in which Zhao Yanzhen disappeared while struggling to hold the grandmother. Then she struggled for a while, thinking about what Zhao Yanzhen asked her to do. Since she had done it well, this person should be reliable, so she just Put the thin tent into grandma's arms.
"Grandma, can you punt a boat?" Jiang Nianjiao asked.
Grandma nodded.
After getting the answer she wanted, Jiang Nianjiao quickly said, "If you really want to help us, just take this account book and leave. I have something else to do. Please be sure to hand the account book to the right person."
After saying this, without waiting for grandma to answer, she had already untied the rope on the boat.
Then, amid her pleas, the old lady had no choice but to punt and leave.
Jiang Nianjiao then chased in the direction of Zhao Yanzhen.
