Jing Chunxi took Jing Mingrong to search room by room, and swept through all the rows of houses. In addition to knocking out seven or eight big men, they found four women in the most remote small house in the corner.

The women were not tied up, but everyone had wounds on their bodies and limbs, and their clothes were torn and dirty. One of them was already mentally retarded and obviously not a thief. No one knew how long she had been imprisoned.

When the three women first saw the two little girls standing in front of them, they thought they were captured by thieves again. They had cold expressions and no sympathy, and didn't even say hello to them.

"We are here to save you."

Jing Chunxi's words did not convince them. Their bodies did not even move, only their eyes were staring at them, completely numb.

"The government officials are outside!"

Jing Chunxi could only fool them like this for the time being. Sure enough, when they heard this, hope ignited in their eyes. However, the flames burned for too short a time, and soon the light in everyone's eyes went out again and disappeared completely.

Even if someone rescued them, could they still go home? Having been held captive by bandits for so long, their families would probably rather see them die than take them in. That's human nature.

Jing Chunxi had no idea what they were thinking. He just comforted them quietly and told them to stay in the house honestly. This was not the best time to let them out.

Obviously, they had no intention of leaving, and no one would follow them.

I checked all the houses and confirmed again and again that there were no living people left.

Heizi also came over. He had been waiting for too long and was getting impatient. Seeing many people lying down, he finally came over with a lucky hope.

"Why are you here?" Heizi was also shocked when he saw Jing Mingrong. He didn't know how such a person appeared out of nowhere.

Jing Mingrong didn't feel embarrassed, nor did she look sad anymore. Instead, she felt like she had gained another teammate.

She felt that there was no need to explain to a child like Heizi, and she didn't dare tell others about what had just happened, so she just smiled at him as a greeting.

Jing Chunxi didn't want to hide it and told the truth directly: "She was sold by Datou." This sentence stopped Heizi from asking any more questions. Heizi also knew that it was already like this and there was no need to poke other people's pain. Jing Mingrong was dressed neatly, so he was too young to think of the worst.

"How is the person in front?" Jing Chunxi asked. The effect of the drug was what she cared about most.

“They all fell down.”

Heizi didn't know what medicine Jing Chunxi gave him, nor did he know whether the bandit was dead or unconscious, because he didn't run over to take a closer look. He only saw people who had drunk alcohol falling down one after another, but the speed at which they fell was too fast, which was completely unlike those of drunk people.

However, Jing Chunxi knew clearly: if he fell, he would die.

After all, they only had a few children. If they just knocked the bandits unconscious, Jing Chunxi was worried that the drug would not be effective enough. If the bandits woke up in the middle of the attack, it would be easy for them to counterattack, which would be counterproductive. Not only would they not be able to escape, but they would also die in the bandits' den.

"We received a lot of silver and banknotes." Jing Chunxi shook his bag of spoils in front of Heizi, and Heizi did not show any envy at this time.

Jing Chunxi looked towards the gate. The guard who was originally leaning there was gone. He thought that those people must have been drinking secretly.

She then said to Heizi, "I'll go get Silang and the two little ones out. You go check the stables to see if there are any carriages or horses. Rongjie'er, go tell those four women that the thieves are dead. Let them escape on their own."

After giving the order, Jing Chunxi ran towards the innermost cave. She had to hurry as she was afraid that her family would worry, so she wanted to get down the mountain as soon as possible.

I was also worried that the longer the night went, the more trouble I would have. What if there were still bandits outside the mountain who hadn't returned yet? It would be troublesome if I came back and intercepted them halfway.

After returning to the small cave, Jing Chunxi rushed into the space.

Silang was still lying there, but in a different position. Jing Chunxi kicked him, and he muttered and turned around.

The two little dumplings disappeared, which scared Jing Chunxi. She confirmed again and again that she had indeed taken the two little dumplings in, but where were the people?

If she hadn't been sure there were no ferocious beasts in her space, she would have suspected that the two little balls had been snatched away. Where could they run with their short arms and legs? If she had known earlier, she would have given them some medicine.

"Oh no, they are not going to play in the water!" Thinking of the stream, Jing Chunxi ran forward quickly. The stream was not deep for her, but the two little kids didn't know the depth, and it would be hard to say if they fell in.

"Haha, I caught another one."

"Bring it here, put it in the bucket quickly."

"Haha, there are already five."

"Ask my aunt to cook for me tonight."

……

Jing Chunxi slowed down his pace after hearing the voices of the two little kids and seeing two small figures catching fish by the stream. These two little brats really deserved a beating, and Jing Chunxi was itching to bite them.

One of the two wooden barrels that were thrown in again has been used by the two little dumplings and is now being used to fill it with fish.

The two of them didn't even soak in the water, but judging from their conversation, they actually caught fish. That's amazing.

"What are you doing? It's so hard for me to find you." Jing Chunxi really wanted to spank them twice. If anything happened to such a cute little ball, she would have to bang her head against the wall.

"Hehe! Cousin Xi, come quickly. There are so many fish."

"How did you catch them?" Jing Chunxi was very surprised when he saw that there were already five palm-sized fish in the bucket.

The fish that was originally put in was only as big as a finger, but after a short while, it grew into a big fish, and her owner was so lazy that she didn't even notice it.

"We used vegetable leaves to fish, cousin Xi, you should try it now, these fish really like to eat vegetable leaves."

Qiaoqiao handed her a vegetable leaf.

Wow, those two little brats actually destroyed her vegetable garden. But Jing Chunxi wanted to give them a thumbs up. They were much better than those naughty kids who jumped into the water as soon as they saw it.

"We have to go now. We'll come back fishing next time when we have time!"

Jing Chunxi picked them up one by one. The two little girls thought Jing Chunxi was teasing them. They giggled happily and kicked their short legs happily, not caring about the fish they caught.

Jing Chunxi held one in each hand and walked out of the space directly. As soon as the two little men touched the ground, Silang, who was still unconscious, was also picked up by her and fell to the ground with a thud. Silang just curled up his body, grabbed to the side with his hands, and then twisted to get up by himself. Jing Chunxi hurriedly fed him some well water.

"Where is this, cousin Xi?"

"It's too dark and not fun at all."

"Fishing is more fun there."

The two little kids didn’t like the cave that cousin Xi brought them to at all, and their eyes couldn’t adapt to it. They thought it would be better to fish in the stream than here!

While Silang was still not fully awake and the two little kids were still chattering, Jing Chunxi looked around and saw so much food. He felt it would be a waste not to collect it. He wondered if anyone would come here in the future. Wasting food was a crime.

The silver and notes we just found are less than expected, and they are all of small denominations. If we don't collect the grain now, it will be a huge loss.

She pointed at the grains, wanting to collect them all.
