"What happened next door? Can't you find anyone?" Jiang Yue frowned and half sat up.

I just heard people shouting outside, and now there are cries from next door. There is a high probability that someone has had an accident. Don't know why.

Jiang Nian pulled her down to lie down, held her in his arms, then covered her ears with his hands and kissed her forehead, "Well, we don't care, just sleep well."

He tsked slightly, it was really noisy.

"Yeah." Jiang Yue closed her eyes and fell asleep in the warm embrace.

She just asked casually. Even though Da Zai has a keen sense of smell, he is not a patrol dog, so why should he be used as a dog by outsiders? It is impossible for someone who is not related to them to go out at night to help find someone.

This mountain is unfamiliar to them, and they don't know if there is any danger.

Jiang Yue: Don’t ask. If you ask, you have forgotten the time when you first used the big cub as a hunting dog to hunt for ginseng.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yue fell asleep in a daze, and woke up to the sound of "Liu Er" shouting again and again.

She frowned. Although she could understand the pain of losing her family, she couldn't help but feel angry and wanted to vent her anger. She had no choice but to exhale a long breath.

Jiang Nian stroked her smooth hair and said in a gentle tone, "You stay well in the cave. I will take the mule out for a walk, eat some grass, and change the taste."

In order not to rob the refugees of their food, they had been feeding the mules beans, wheat bran and vegetables.

The weeds are much longer now, so I have to go out for a walk to prevent the mules from getting lazy. When the time comes that we really need to use mules, we won’t even be able to run.

Jiang Yue put her arms around his neck and leaned in to kiss him. Good morning kisses in the morning and good night kisses before going to bed have become their daily habits.

"Okay, don't go too far."

Jiang Nian enjoyed this behavior very much. He smiled slightly and pressed his forehead against hers, "Well, I'll be back soon."

Jiang Nian led the mule and walked towards the place where the weeds were the most abundant, passing by the refugees looking for someone.

"This mule is so strong! He looks great!"

After being a silent neighbor for more than ten days, I also saw a lot of mules when passing by. Although the refugees are now greedy for mules, they have no other ideas and can only stare at people secretly.

Jiang Nian has been so bored recently that he doesn't wear a mask. According to Jiang Yue, the sharp facial features have a kind of temperament that makes people stay away from strangers.

Having been deprived of food and clothing for more than a year, the refugees were left with almost only a skeleton, and they could not even hold up their clothes. When the wind blows, the clothes bulge, filled with air.

And this man also has a bulging body, but at first glance, it looks like he has strong flesh on his body.

Although this dress is also made of gray fabric, it is actually cotton and has no patches!

The envy on their faces is overflowing. Even when times are good, they can't wear clothes without patches.

"Look, his fists are as big as mine! Tsk, no wonder he can kill a wild boar with one punch!"

"He can probably lift two of you with one hand!"

"Shh! Keep your voices down! Didn't you see the knife behind his back? That knife is said to have killed bandits and officials! It's sharp, so don't mess with others!"

"Hey, let's go. Don't gossip and go find Liu Er quickly. Where did this kid go?"

"Liu Er!"

"Hey, do you think he has..."

"Don't say such depressing words! Their children are young, who will support the family if something happens..."

The voices gradually faded away, finally letting Jiang Nian's ears go.

Jiang Nian turned a deaf ear to those inquiries and discussions, as long as he didn't get involved and fight.

He didn't want to say hello to anyone who didn't care, so he took the mule and walked farther away from the noise.

The vitality of the weeds is indeed tenacious. An entire mountain that was originally withered began to appear green all over the mountains and plains in just ten days. Even the trees that were not completely dead showed their green buds and were full of vitality.

Jiang Nian let go of the rope and patted the mule's butt. "Go and eat. You can eat as much as you like today."

The mule blew out a long breath from its nose. It was really going crazy with the breath, and it gnawed on the fresh grass on the ground.

After a quarter of an hour, the mule's grazing speed slowed down. Jiang Nian touched its back and scraped the dirt with big leaves. It's drizzling in the sky, so let's give it a bath.

It rained heavily before, so I didn’t dare let the mule get wet outside for fear of getting sick.

Bringing a straw hat for the mule wasn't enough, Jiang Yue also hid it under a "little house" made of old mats. If the cave wasn't too small, it might have had to live inside.

Jiang Nian snorted. According to him, he shouldn't be so kind to this mule. What would happen if the beast got wet in the rain?

Mule: Don't ride on me next time, I'm weak.

The rain was pouring on the ground. Jiang Nian didn't wear the raincoat because he thought it was too heavy. Now his shoulders were already wet.

It's better to go back early. If Yueyue sees it, she will be angry with him for not taking care of his body.

Suddenly, the tips of Jiang Nian's ears twitched slightly, he stopped what he was doing, then slowly turned around and stared at the visitor indifferently.
