Jiang Nian finished the pancake in a few mouthfuls, replenished his energy, took a deep breath, and started running.
The guard at the door took shelter from the rain under the city gate. The two of them were chatting, and suddenly a black shadow floated over, carrying the wind.
By the time they reacted and picked up the knife on their chests, the man had already run away.
"This, this is a person?"
"Running so fast, are you human?"
"It looks like a person's back to me."
"This, this...what happened in the city?"
The two of them looked tense, facing the city, and clenched the knives in their hands.
In an instant, the two of them were ready for a new round of escape, but no matter how long they waited, the second person did not appear.
The two looked at each other and lowered their guard. Wasn't that person just a fool?
Jiang Nian kept running eastward toward the official road, looking for Jiang Yue's scent as he ran. Every time he passed some refugees, he would stop and search. This madman-like appearance made people panic.
Thunder had been thundering continuously during the day, and he passed a group of refugees who were hiding from the rain under a tree and were struck by lightning.
The old couple held the charred body of their son and did not let go, and the sound of crying reached his ears.
"My son! Why did you go over there to pee, and you were struck by lightning like this? What did you want us to do!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Jiang Nian glanced over and saw that he had been struck by lightning and was out of shape.
He pressed his lips into a straight line and sped forward.
On the other side, Jiang Yue slept for two hours and woke up after noon. She covered herself up and sweated, feeling much better.
It was quiet outside the house, nothing happened.
She tried to push the door open, but couldn't.
Oh, it's tied from outside the door.
She took out the knife, passed through the gap, and slashed hard.
With a "snap" sound, the board broke and fell to the ground.
The wooden doors in the village are really fragile.
Such a loud noise failed to attract anyone. It seemed that they went out collectively. Are you sure she can't break out?
Jiang Yue kicked the broken board into the house and closed the door, which might delay it for a while.
As expected, the courtyard door was also locked, and it also had an iron lock.
Jiang Yue climbed over the wall last night and got out again today.
The heavy rain turned into moderate rain, and she put on her raincoat and straw hat again. Except for the black footprints left on the wall, the rest of the traces had long been washed away.
She walked around the back of the house and towards the entrance of the village.
The entrance to the village was quiet, and it didn't look like there were many survivors living there at this time.
She passed by the wooden house last night. The courtyard wall was also made of bamboo, but it was made strong and tight, which was much better than the one without walls.
She lowered her head slightly and quickened her pace.
With a "squeak" sound, the door of the opposite room opened, as if someone was about to come out.
She looked left and right, and suddenly, a pair of dry black hands stretched out from the yard behind her and pulled her into the yard.
Jiang Yue quickly took out the knife and put it on his neck.
"Shh!"
The person opposite didn't seem to care about the knife on his neck. He hissed at her and then fell silent.
Voices came from outside, "I have to dig wild vegetables again. I'm tired of eating them."
"How can we survive without digging wild vegetables? Are you going to starve to death?"
"According to me, it's better to kill those people."
"What to kill? I haven't asked where the food is yet..."
The sound of voices faded away with the sound of footsteps.
Jiang Yue looked at the man in front of him. He was about fifty years old, with a wrinkled face and only the whites of his eyes. He was motionless and hunched over. The clothes on her body were in tatters, and she concluded that her living conditions were not good.
She put the knife away.
The old man must have not spoken for a long time, and his words were a little stiff, "You should leave quickly and don't talk to the people here."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the house.
Jiang Yue saw that he was walking crookedly, and he didn't have a crutch in his hand to find the way. He only used his hands to find the way, and his body was already soaked by the rain.
I don't know if there are any other family members in the house.
She stepped forward, took his arm, and led him into the house. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the room was in a mess. She turned around and left without asking anything.
When she left the house, she happened to see the woman and several men coming in from the village entrance.
Seeing her, several people looked stiff.
The woman sneered and said, "My dear lady, are you awake? I was just going to find medicine for you. It's still raining heavily. Why did you come out?"
Jiang Yue rubbed her wrist, half-smiling but not smiling, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm fine and I'm leaving now."
She chuckled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, little lady. Just rest for two more days."
The second and third children were already staring at her blankly. As if she hated the iron, she patted the second child on the back and said, "What are you doing standing there in a daze! Help me go home!"
The tall, thin man wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and stepped forward with a smile, "Little lady, it's so hard to escape, why don't you stay here with us? I won't make you suffer..."
With a crisp sound, the sharp blade was unsheathed, and Jiang Yue slowly put the tip of the blade against his chest, with sharp eyes, "Try taking another step closer."
The second child didn't expect that she was carrying such a sharp knife, and was a little stunned.
But then he thought about it, the little lady probably wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken with a knife, how could she dare to kill someone? It's just used to bluff people.
Then he continued with a playful smile, "Don't be afraid, little lady, come with me, I will treat you well..."
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Yue pulled out the knife, and blood flowed down the blade, which was instantly washed away by the rain.
The second child opened his eyes wide and fell into the pool of water. The blood instantly stained the ground red.
He covered his lower body and rolled back and forth, crying, "Ah——"
This tragic cry is not earth-shattering.
Jiang Yue lowered her head and raised the corners of her mouth, "Do you really feel that you are powerful with these two ounces of meat under your body? I don't think you can use it, so why not castrate it? Think of it as getting rid of harm for the people."
"Dick!"
Several people were shocked, their eyes were split open, and they stared at her angrily. The originally kind-hearted woman also took off her mask and gritted her teeth, "Little madam, we kindly took you in, but you actually repaid us with kindness! What a cruel person!"
"Stop talking nonsense, don't be disgusting. You guys have an agenda. If you are really kind, why don't you let me go now?"
Jiang Yue raised the knife and pointed it at the woman, "Pretentious, with a human face and an animal heart."
The woman's eyes turned red with anger, and the boss took out a hatchet.
The third child was reluctant to let go and wanted to persuade him, "Little lady, you should put down the knife. Your husband doesn't want you at all, otherwise why would he leave you alone..."
"Yueyue!"
Jiang Yue turned her head, and a tall figure rushed over and hugged her tightly.
