“Dad, wuwuwu… I miss you so much, Dad. Why did you die? Wuwuwu, now that you are gone, there is no one to protect Mom and us, wuwuwu…”

Ye Shian sat down on the ground and started crying.

Ye Shian was serious about throwing a tantrum.

Yu Xiuying's eyes instantly turned red. She bent down and hugged Ye Shian: "Shian, don't be afraid, Shian, don't be afraid. Even if I die, mother will be with you. I just feel sorry for your sister who is only two months old..."

After just a few simple words, the bearded man already had his own ideas. He turned to look at Old Lady Ye with an unfriendly look in his eyes: "She is your daughter-in-law?"

"Ah, yes, but..."

"So she is your granddaughter?"

"It's not the case anymore..."

The bearded man's eyes suddenly widened, and he went up and slapped him: "Fuck you, you tortured the mother like this right after your son died, you old hag."

How could Old Lady Ye withstand such a slap in the face? She cried out "Ouch" and fell to the ground. The ground by the river was covered with pebbles, so the fall must have been very serious. Fortunately, Ye Zhankui was quick to catch his mother.

Ye Zhankui glared angrily: "Why are you still hitting the old man?"

The bearded man sneered: "Bullshit, she is an old lady, and the other person is an orphan and a widow, how can she have the nerve to bully others."

"Then you shouldn't hit the elderly."

"I don't hit old people. If I hit her, she's not a human being."

Listening to what the bearded man said, Ye Shian couldn't help but want to applaud him. This bearded man was just to her liking.

Ye Zhankui couldn't argue with him and could only stare blankly.

The bearded man noticed Ye Zhankui glaring at him, and he snorted indifferently: "Hmph, stop glaring at me, believe it or not, I'll dig your eyes out and feed them to the fish."

Old Mrs. Ye groaned in pain. When she heard the bearded man say this, she quickly pulled her son's head and made him lower his head.

After collecting the food, the bearded man did not forget to apologize to everyone: "Thank you for your generous help. If I meet you again in the future, I will definitely repay you. Since I have eaten your food, I would also like to remind you that there is a Yuanbao Mountain ahead. That is the territory of the Golden Tiger Gang. The Golden Tiger Gang is the bandit of this generation. They have no rules and no morals. They are not as easy to talk to as me. You can only wish you good luck."

After saying this, the group of people quickly disappeared.

Ye Shian stood up from the ground, brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, and said to Yu Xiuying, "Mom, let's go."

Behind them, Old Lady Ye was cursing and howling, but the mother and daughter ignored her.

Ye Zhankui stood up from the ground, his face not looking very good: "Okay, isn't this embarrassing enough?"

Old Lady Ye's shouting and cursing stopped abruptly, and she got up from the ground and went about her business as if nothing had happened.

But in her heart she completely hated Ye Shian and his mother. It was all their fault. They were the ones who caused her to be beaten, and it was because of their son that he treated her like this.

What surprised Ye Shian was that after the group of people left, except for a few people who had their food taken away and sighed, most people chose to remain silent.

The group of people, who were already silent to begin with, became even quieter now.

Yu Xiuying took Ye Shian and walked away. Seeing that there was no one around, she immediately frowned.

"Did you do it on purpose?"

Ye Shian chuckled: "Nothing can be hidden from mother."

"You, you, what can I say about you? Do you know how dangerous it is? If, if someone discovers your secret, do you know..."

Yu Xiuying didn’t say the rest of the words.

"Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry. I promise I won't do that again!"

"Do you still want a future?"

"Don't dare!"

Ye Shian waved his hands quickly!

Yu Xiuying sighed. Her daughter now had a perverse personality and was completely different from before.

"How about this, I think this place by the river is pretty good, let's spend the night here!"

"Row."

Ye Shian understood that Yu Xiuying wanted to distance herself from the Ye family.

She had no objection, and I did whatever I wanted to do anyway.

She also still remembered the bearded man.

bandit!

This road is the only way to Nanhuai City, and it is impossible to bypass it.

If the bandits were after money, that would be fine. Ordinary people who are so poor that they can't even afford food would not be their targets. But if not...

Ye Shian thought again of the bearded man’s expression when he said that.

That bandit is probably not a good person!

"Ah, I have an idea!"

Yu Xiuying was puzzled: "What idea?"

"Mom, hurry up, let's go after him."

Yu Xiuying was pulled by Ye Shian to chase in the direction of the bearded man: "Hey, Shian, what are you doing? Slow down, what are you chasing?"

It was really unsuitable for Yu Xiuying to run while holding Ziyuan.

Ye Shian put all his things into the backpack and said, "Let's follow the bearded man. Although he doesn't look like a good person, he has a strong sense of justice. Besides, Old Lady Ye will definitely not follow him. Besides, he seems to know the bandit quite well. Maybe if we follow him, we can reach Huainan City safely."

When Yu Xiuying heard that she was going to follow the bearded man, she refused to agree no matter what.

"No, absolutely not. That bearded guy is not a good person at all. We can't follow him."

Ye Shian stopped what he was doing. "Mom, that bearded guy may not be a good guy, but he's not a bad guy either. The people who came with him today should be from the same village. They were armed with kitchen knives and axes, and they didn't do anything the whole time. They said they would take half of the food, so they took half. Didn't you notice that they didn't even take anything from the family with less food?"

Ye Xiuying didn't dare to stare at them, as she had no idea what they were holding.

"That's not OK!"

"Oh, mother, don't worry, nothing will happen. You forgot, we still have that place... Even if something happens, we are not afraid."

Yu Xiuying knew she couldn't convince her daughter, so she had to follow her. She just hoped her daughter's guess was right.

While the mother and daughter were discussing, the Ye family was also discussing.

"So what if they are bandits? What else do we have? We have nothing. Can bandits rob us?" Old Lady Ye was the first to express her opinion.

Ye Zhankui's brows were twisted into a knot. Why didn't he realize before that his mother was a brainless person?

"Mom, what you said is not right. Who are those bandits? They are desperate criminals. They do everything from robbing women to killing people and setting fires. I think if we want to get through safely, we have to stick together with others."

Tian had a worried look on his face: "Who are you grouping with? They are all from the same village and are walking together. We haven't seen anyone from his village since the heavy rain started."

The village head of Huaishu Village had just come out of the county town. He hurried to look for the villagers, but there were only a few people left. Those who could leave had left, and only three or four out of ten stayed. And they were all old and unwilling to make trouble.

Ye Shian and Yu Xiuying walked upstream along the river and soon saw a group of people resting by the river.

As soon as she approached, someone recognized them.
