The young couple from the farm fights back

Jiang Li led Aowu up to Tietou Mountain and said, "Go hunting on your own. Come back to me in an hour at most. If you see anyone, don't hurt them."

Awoo roared happily to the sky: "Awoo~"

Then he spread his long legs and ran happily up the mountain.

Jiang Li walked slowly up the mountain, searching for valuable goods. Not long after, she discovered Polygonum multiflorum growing in the cracks of the rocks covered by the snow.

She took out a small hoe and slowly pried open the cracks in the rocks, pulling up the entire Polygonum multiflorum plant by its roots. After about half an hour, the sky gradually brightened, and the bamboo basket on her back was filled with various freshly picked yams.

Jiang Li was so tired that he supported his waist with one hand, leaned on a wooden stick and shouted towards the mountain: "Awoo, let's go home~"

I don’t know where the little thing ran to, but don’t let the wolf go back to the mountains and not come back, becoming an ungrateful wolf who eats and lives for free for two months.

Soon, Jiang Li heard a howling sound, "Come back quickly!"

"Ow~~~"

Jiang Li was waiting there. Less than half a cup of tea later, little Aowu swooped down from the top of the mountain, shook off the morning dew and snow on his body, and happily turned around in front of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li glanced at the bright red on the corner of its mouth with annoyance: "But are you full?"

"Awoo~" The little thing raised its neck again, as if in response.

"It's just right to eat and go home."

Jiang Li turned around and took two steps down when Xiao Aowu rushed in front of her again and turned around twice, obviously blocking Jiang Li's steps down the mountain.

"Why, you don't want to go back after having fun?"

"Ow~"

"..."

Jiang Li didn't understand what the little thing meant, "If you don't want to go back, you will stay on the mountain by yourself in the future."

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't understand what it meant, the little thing simply used its head to butt Jiang Li's legs, forcing Jiang Li to take a few steps back. Then it turned around twice and howled towards the mountain.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, realized the little thing's intention, and turned back to look at the top of the mountain.

"Is there something on the mountain?"

"Awoo~" Seeing Jiang Li react, the little thing jumped happily with its long legs, took two steps forward, and looked back at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li thought about it and thought that Awu might have caught a lot of small prey and couldn't eat them all at once, so he asked her to help bring them home.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but press the corners of his mouth: "Okay, lead the way."

Finally, seeing Jiang Li willing to follow, Aowu was so happy that he slowed down his pace and led the way.

After a while, Jiang Li found that Ao Wu had led her around the road to the top of the mountain and walked straight to the side of the mountainside. He stopped in front of a hidden cave, raised his neck and howled to signal.

"..."

Wow, could it be that they found treasure?

Jiang Li was thinking when he vaguely heard some unusual movements in the cave.

Jiang Li frowned and looked down at Aowu: "Is there anyone inside?"

Awooo jumped around in a circle: "Awoo~"

Seeing this, Jiang Li used a wooden stick to push aside the pile of dry grass blocking the cave. The light in the cave was dim, but he could clearly see a child squatting in the small cave, who was about five or six years old.

The little boy turned his head with horror and stared at Jiang Li, whose legs were resting on a woman covered in scars and blood.

The child's clothes were also covered with bloody wounds of various sizes, but judging from his appearance, they were probably non-fatal skin injuries.

Jiang Li's eyes were slightly stern, and he noticed that the woman's hand moved. Seeing this, Jiang Li kindly stepped forward to check it out.

Unexpectedly, the child suddenly raised the sharp knife in his hand and pointed it at Jiang Li. Even though he was trembling all over, he still gritted his teeth and stared at the stranger warily.

Jiang Li amused herself by knocking the dagger out of the child's hand with a stick, and it fell to the ground with a thud: "Do you really think you can hurt me with a knife?"

"Stay still, I'll take a look at your mother's injuries."

When the child heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed across his frightened face, as if he realized that Jiang Li had no ill intentions, but the gray wolf next to him -

Jiang Li didn't waste any more time talking to the child. He walked forward, squatted down, and held the woman's wrist.

The woman was seriously injured, her blood was almost drained out of her body, and her pulse was barely detectable.

Not to mention that she couldn't rescue the person under the current environmental conditions, even if she successfully brought the person home, it was still unknown whether the woman could survive to get down the mountain.

At this moment, the woman forced herself to open her eyes a little and looked at Jiang Li weakly.

She moved her pale lips slightly and turned her gaze to the child beside her.

There was reluctance and sadness in their eyes. As a mother herself, Jiang Li knew without asking how desperate this mother and son who were about to be separated were at this moment.

"Please, please, save me, save me--" The woman used all her strength to pull out the golden hairpin from her bun and handed it to Jiang Li.

The woman knew that Jiang Li had just been taking her pulse and that he was a good man. She and her son had no other choice.

She was afraid that her child would be in danger again after she left, and she hoped that Jiang Li would give her child a chance to survive for the sake of this golden hairpin.

Jiang Li noticed that the mother and son were wearing expensive silk and satin clothes, and with the solid gold hairpin, they must be from a wealthy family.

I just don’t understand how this mother and son ended up in the mountains. Were they being hunted down by their enemies?

Logically speaking, Jiang Li was most reluctant to get involved in muddy water. No matter how valuable the hairpin was, if it brought disaster to the children at home, then all the valuable things would be in vain.

"Where is your home? I'll ask my husband to send you and your son back." Jiang Li's only thought was to send them away.

The woman shook her head weakly and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The child beside her was so scared that he burst into tears and called for his mother hysterically.

The woman raised her hand distressedly, trying to wipe the tears from the child's face, but her hand, raised in mid-air, could not reach the child and fell heavily back to the ground.

"Mother..." The child hugged the woman in his arms in grief, his voice hoarse from crying.

Jiang Li closed his eyes silently and mourned for the woman he had only met once. When he opened his eyes again, he found that the child had fainted from crying.

Jiang Li quickly took the child's hand and took his pulse. Fortunately, there was nothing serious.

Looking at the mother and son, one dead and one unconscious, in front of him, Jiang Li took a deep breath and turned back to glare at the little wolf cub helplessly.

"Awoo~~" The little thing tilted its neck up in grievance and howled towards the sky.

【I'm actually feeling wronged! 】

They think their family is a ragpicker, bringing home everything.

Feeling helpless, Jiang Li looked at the golden hairpin in his hand, and finally found a piece of land next to the cave and hastily buried the woman's body.

When Zhou Chunfeng saw Jiang Li coming home with a blood-stained child in her arms, he was stunned and had to quickly put the child into the house.

Fortunately, Jiang Li had made a lot of much-needed medicinal herbs in the past few months, including homemade golden spear medicine and hemostatic drugs. The couple first wiped and bandaged the child's wound, and it was noon when they were busy.

Brothers Yiheng and Yijing were watching eagerly, wanting to ask their mother who the person was that she had brought back, and whether the person would have to live in their house from now on.

After packing everything up, Jiang Li went to the kitchen to boil some medicine for the child's condition, spread it out to cool, and asked Zhou Chunfeng to give it to the child.

Seeing the child start to sweat, Jiang Li held his little wrist and took his pulse.

After a while, his brows relaxed: "Okay, let him sleep for a while, we will take the child to eat."

Zhou Chunfeng sighed helplessly, took the two children and went out with Jiang Li.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Jiang Li took off the sling and put Ang'er down. The little guy smelled the fragrance of the food and laughed so happily that he waved his little fists and giggled.
