Immediately afterwards, Song Wenqin's voice was heard outside.

"who are you?"

Jiang Jinhe quickly put on her clothes and went out.

Outside, torches were connected together, and a group of people who came out of nowhere surrounded the small village.

Song Wenqin protected Jiang Jinhe behind him and looked at them with a serious expression.

The leading man had a subtle look on his face.

In these five years of the end of the world, is there anyone who can stay so fat and strong?

"Brother Wang, look at these two people, they must have stored a lot of food!"

Liu Qiang looked greedy.

Before Wang Mancang could speak, Liu Qiang stepped forward holding a torch.

"We are from Liujia Village and Wangzhuang Village. We heard there is water here, so we came here to borrow some water."

Jiang Jinhe secretly curled her lips. This was not a loan, it was obviously an attempt to rob.

"I said no!"

A roar suddenly rang out, and Shi Gaoyuan, holding a big knife, pushed away the people blocking his way and walked over immediately.

His muscles bulged and his eyes were fierce, and he looked exactly like a bandit leader.

A few equally ferocious guys followed behind him.

Those skinny villagers had never seen such a scene before and retreated in fear.

Wang Qiang was a little nervous when he saw that his momentum was being suppressed, but in the end greed prevailed.

"Brother, there are only a few people on the other side. We are outnumbered and powerful. If we defeat them, we will have food to eat and water to drink!"

The villagers illuminated by the firelight were so excited by these words that a fierce fight broke out in an instant.

No one in the entire village was spared and was drawn into this dispute.

Jiang Jinhe was well prepared and sent people to protect the elderly and the weak in the village, especially the family of their village chief.

Fortunately, they had Song Wenqin and Shi Gaoyuan on their side, and they quickly repelled the invaders.

By the time the enemy retreated, the village was in ruins.

"Is everyone okay?"

Jiang Jinhe asked loudly.

Everyone gathered together, including those from Ayuan Village.

"They just wanted some water, and you had to interfere? Now they're hurt, and who knows when those guys will come back to cause trouble again!"

"Yeah, if you give it to me, everything will be fine. Why not just leave here in a hurry? Why bother causing trouble?"

Jiang Jinhe had foreseen such remarks, and she scanned them one by one with a cold look in her eyes.

"If you want to leave, go ahead. No one's stopping you!"

The crowd that was originally whispering to each other immediately fell silent, not daring to look directly at Jiang Jinhe.

Jiang Jinhe had no intention of getting entangled with them and dismissed them all.

After the inspection, fortunately the elderly in the village were safe and sound, and the water source of the village chief's house was not found.

The next day, Jiang Jinhe directed everyone to dig traps around the village.

Those who failed to succeed the first time will certainly be unwilling to give up and will definitely come back again.

Everyone in the Song family soon woke up from their dream.

The tense atmosphere of yesterday has not yet dissipated, and a subtle unease hangs in the air.

Just as daybreak approached, the eldest son Song Wenqin had already contacted the village chief.

The village chief told them that all the villagers were heading towards Maoer Mountain not far ahead, and hoped that the Song family could join them before noon.

After hearing the news, everyone did not dare to slack off and got busy packing their luggage, sorting out dry food, and packing necessities...

In order to ensure that they could arrive at the destination on time, everyone started preparations as early as possible.

When all the work was nearing completion and they were about to set off, everyone realized that two important members were missing from the team - the second daughter-in-law Zhang Xiuqin and Song Chunhua.

After realizing the seriousness of the situation, the experienced Aunt Song quickly directed her sons to search for the whereabouts of the two women.

"We must find them quickly! Don't let them down at this critical moment!"

The old man's voice was full of anxiety and blame.

At this time, Dabao, who usually doesn't like to talk, unexpectedly spoke up: "Grandma, I saw Mom go out last night and said she wanted to catch wild rabbits to replenish her food reserves. She promised me that she would come back as soon as she caught them."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of awkward laughter at the scene.

Jiang Jinhe, who was standing nearby and listening, couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking, do this couple really think that catching rabbits is so easy?

You know, it is extremely difficult to easily catch a lively little animal in this wilderness!

At the same time, Song Wenqin noticed his daughter-in-law's disdainful expression and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

He gently called out to his younger brother Song Mucheng beside him, "Come with me to the top of the mountain to take a look," and then he walked towards the towering hillside not far away.

The two of them moved quickly and swiftly and soon climbed to the top.

The scene before them made them both amused and helpless: Zhang Xiuqin and Song Chunhua were lying side by side on the grass, soundly asleep, completely unaware that the entire family was extremely anxious about their whereabouts.

Taking a few steps forward, Song Mucheng first gently kicked his sleeping wife's calves a few times.

"Yue'er, hurry up and get up, the sun is shining on your butt."

However, the only response he got was a vague groan from the other party, and there was still no sign of waking up.

After standing aside and observing for a while, the more serious Song Wenqin directly ordered in a cold voice: "Get up right now! If you keep pretending to be asleep, you'll be eaten by the real rabbit!"

This trick was quite effective. The two people who heard this immediately jumped up from the ground as if they were greatly frightened.

"Where's the rabbit? Where is it? We can't see it!"

Obviously, all the efforts made throughout the night ended up with nothing.

When they returned to the camp, they were greeted with a harsh rebuke.

Although he was dissatisfied with the two companions who performed poorly, Jiang Jinhe couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhang Xiuqin's pale and haggard face and Song Chunhua's cheeks were even more obviously swollen.

Her hearty and cheerful laughter broke the depressing silence of the early morning and also infected the innocent children around her, who also laughed out loud.

This further intensified the resentment and anger in the hearts of the two female compatriots.

Especially for Song Chunhua, who always judges people by their appearance, even a glance at Jiang Jinhe would make her feel uncomfortable all over.

Although it was only a brief burst of laughter, deep down she had begun to reflect on her own behavior and secretly vowed to work harder to change the status quo in the future - especially the "plump" body that once made her proud but now became the target of public criticism.

Since it is impossible to simply and rudely prohibit others from talking about their body shape like those legendary emperors and nobles, they can only rely on their personal strength to regain respect.

Thus, on this difficult and long journey, even though her legs and feet were already extremely sore and her clothes were soaked with sweat, it could not stop Jiang Jinhe from moving forward with a firm step...

We walked like this non-stop for the whole morning.
