The two passed by Fengtian City and saw that the guards at the city gate were still collecting money from the refugees, but they didn't know how many people could escape.
"If we don't enter Fengtian City, we will have to take a detour to the mountains."
She looked to one side and saw that it was not as big as the mountain in Jiangshan Village, but it was still quite a mountain.
Go around, anyway, she is in a good mood now, no matter where she goes.
Jiang Nian took her down, and the two led the mule up the mountain.
There is no green in the whole mountain anymore, everything is yellow and full of dead branches and leaves. When you step on it, there are crisp cracking sounds.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Nian's ears twitched slightly and his expression was calm, "Yueyue, there are many refugees on the mountain."
Jiang Yue frowned, and she also noticed that there were many pairs of eyes staring at them and their mules behind the withered grass.
The two of them walked up the mountain calmly. An hour later, halfway up the mountain, it was getting dark.
Suddenly, three people walked out from the front. They were all skin and bones, and their clothes were shabby. They held a rusty kitchen knife and stood in front of their eyes. "Leave the mules and let you pass!"
Two people also came out from behind, forming a situation surrounding them.
Jiang Nian pulled out his saber from behind and stepped forward with cold eyes, "This saber has killed both bandits and officials. Do you want to try it?"
The refugees were frightened when they saw the blood stains on the sharp knife. Hearing the bandits and officials again, his expressions changed, his hands and feet became weak, and he quickly gave way.
Jiang Yue did not pursue the case. These people were very unfamiliar with their robbery techniques and were not very courageous. They were supposed to be honest people.
The two of them continued walking up, and the refugees followed them not far away. As long as it doesn't get in the way and doesn't cause trouble, Jiang Yue will turn a blind eye.
The top of this mountain is not pointed. It seems that someone has shaved off a flat head to form a platform.
There were many caves with things in them, and Jiang Nian found another empty small cave that could accommodate them just right.
Tie the mule to the entrance of the cave to block the view. When they entered the cave, there were many rustling sounds outside, indicating that the refugees were coming out.
It was estimated that there were thirty or fifty people there, and it was not known how long they had been hiding here.
"Are they bandits?"
"I don't know, but the knives they used are so long and sharp. They say they have killed bandits and government officials!"
"Oh - are they bad people?"
"Don't worry about whether he's a bad guy or not, you can't mess with him anyway!"
"They don't look mean. Maybe they are just passing by and will leave tomorrow?"
"We just stay away."
"..."
Jiang Yue turned on the flashlight and swept the hole clean with dry branches, leaving the fallen leaves far away. I dare not light a candle for fear of setting the mountain on fire.
After sitting down, she let go of her tense heart.
"It's so fun to eat black and white!" Jiang Yue shook Jiang Nian's arm and couldn't help smiling. Mrs. Lianhua's warehouse is full of good things!
There are countless luminous pearls, coral trees, jade bottles, pearls and jade products, as well as many fine cloths and furs, but gold and silver jewelry are the most inconspicuous among them.
The space collected half of the stuff and added 1,500 hours! Leave half of it for her, enough for her to eat and drink for the rest of her life!
Oh no, she had no worries about food and drink.
It should be said that it would be enough for her and Da Zai to eat and wait for death for several lifetimes!
Mrs. Lianhua might not have expected that the things they had worked so hard to grab would be used to make wedding dresses for others.
Jiang Yue and the two simply wiped their bodies with wet towels and felt much better.
They gnawed on the steamed buns, but the smell couldn't escape.
"Let's just walk slowly and don't rush. In fact, if we can find a suitable place to hide, we can wait until the natural disaster passes and then come out."
Jiang Nian nodded, "Mountain fires are easy to break out on the mountain, and there will be heavy snow in the winter. We still have to go into the city."
Although the mountains were his territory, they had already seen a lot of burning mountains while they were on their way. The mountain fire came quickly and fiercely, and even they could not escape it. In a quarter of an hour, an entire mountain can be burned.
Jiang Yue sighed, "Yes, we just want to find a peaceful city to settle in, but it's too difficult!"
Things are like this in troubled times, now they are robbing food, who knows when they will robbing people again.
At Jiang Nian's age and physique, he was the most popular person during his military service. If they are forced to perform military service, they will have to escape!
"Zhizhi——"
"Quick, quick, I caught one!"
"This way, this way, I've blocked the entrance to the cave, get the basket quickly!"
Jiang Yue finished the steamed buns, clapped her hands and walked to the entrance of the cave.
The refugees were half lying on the ground, holding something in their hands. She took a closer look and saw that he was catching mountain rats.
In disaster years, it is good to have mountain rats to eat.
The sky was dark, and they were working in the dark. If they accidentally stepped on a pit, they got up and patted their butts. They were used to it.
Next door is a quite large cave, and there are probably several families crowded together inside.
Jiang Yue saw that they started a fire quickly with flints. Several families got together and the three mountain rats were roasted. They didn't even throw away the internal organs. You and I shared each bite.
Even so, a few three- and four-year-old children were still laughing so hard that they couldn't even see their eyes.
Jiang Yue stopped looking, always feeling sour in her heart. When she was a child, she shared a chicken drumstick with her friends without parents, each of whom could only taste a small bite.
The reason why she wanted to go to the beach was because she thought the situation there might be better. Another reason is because she wants to eat seafood.
When she was very poor, she always heard her classmates and colleagues mention how delicious hairy crabs and crayfish were, but she could only satisfy her craving through magazines or videos.
When she grew up and started working to earn money, with a monthly salary of 4,000, she only dared to buy half a catty and taste it.
It can be said that seafood has almost become an obsession for her, which means that she can live a good life.
Now, having food and drink is everyone’s obsession and dream.
"Let's get some rest early. We have to go down the mountain early tomorrow morning." Jiang Nian touched her head, knowing that she was soft-hearted again.
Jiang Yue taught him how to read and taught him a lot of things in books, such as ethical concepts.
But for him, these things cannot stir up waves in his heart.
His feelings are indifferent and he is only loyal to Jiang Yue.
He could watch others kill each other, and even face those people eating human flesh. He had no extra thoughts except that he was disgusted by eating the same kind of food.
In the eyes of wolves, humans are also a type of prey.
And he was even more indifferent to the scene just now.
Because that's his nature. A wolf will only be loyal to its master and will not have any feelings for other people.
In their world, the weak prey on the strong. He is the wolf king, and his cowardly peers can only chew the bones he has left.
And these people are incapable, so they can't even support their families.
