The groom was kidnapped on the wedding day? Fine! I'll marry someone else.

Not long after, countless animals were seen coming towards this side.

Big, small, carnivorous, herbivorous, seen before, never seen before...

Wherever they passed, much of the grass and shrubs on the ground were lifted up along with the soil, and even trees as big as bowls were knocked down by some large animals.

Dust was flying, grass was splashing, trees were falling, branches and leaves were flying, and there were roars of various animals, mixed with the blood and corpses of some big animals stepping on the small animals, which made the group of people hiding in the big trees terrified and frightened.

As Xu Yu looked at this scene, his heart tightened and his scalp went numb. He had the illusion that they would be thrown off the tree by the vibration and then trampled into a pulp by those animals.

Seeing the dark herd of animals about to pass under the big tree where they were, Xu Yu took a breath of cold air, and her eyes were covered, and then her head was pressed against the broad chest.

A strong heartbeat reached my ears, and at the same time, a calm and soothing voice came: "Xiaoyu, don't be afraid."

"They'll pass soon and we'll be fine."

Xu Yu smelled the dry and clear scent on him. At this time, a large animal hit the tree trunk where they were, and the trunk shook, but she felt that as long as he was there, even if they really fell down, he could protect her.

The collision and vibration continued for a long time before stopping.

After everything became quiet, Jiang Yi told her, "Xiaoyu, we are safe."

Only then did Xu Yu raise his head from his arms.

Jiang Yi had already let her go, but one hand was still tightly around her waist. Then he said to her, "Let me confirm the number of people."

Then he shouted, "Everyone count! 1!"

Xu Yu's waist trembled at the stimulation of Jiang Yi's loud voice, and he subconsciously shouted: "2!"

Then, voices counting came from different trees:

"3!"

"4!"

"5!"

……

"12!"

"13!"

After making sure everyone was safe, everyone came down from the tree.

The ground was covered with broken grass and branches, trampled animals, and a mixture of feces, urine, and blood.

Many people swallowed subconsciously.

Xu Yu asked Jiang Yi, "Brother Yi, where did these animals escape to? Will they run to Zhang Tiezhu later?"

"No." Jiang Yi looked around and said, "They went in another direction."

Sun Bo also asked: "Boss, which way are we going now?"

Jiang Yi thought for a moment and asked Xu Yu and Dr. Huang, "Do you dare to take a risk with us?"

Xu Yu and Dr. Huang had not yet realized what he meant.

He explained: "We are now following the direction the animals are running from. We are sure to pick up a lot of animals. We might even pick up something particularly valuable. If there are a lot of things, we can take them to the black market to sell them."

Xu Yu and Dr. Huang opened their eyes wide in shock, as if they couldn't believe that these words came from Jiang Yi's mouth.

At this time, Zhu Juncheng smiled and said to the two of them, "Sister-in-law, Doctor Huang, don't be shocked. The boss is right. If we can pick up valuable animal carcasses and sell them on the black market, the money will allow everyone to buy food and winter clothes for their families, and this winter will not be difficult to endure."

Except for Xu Yu and Dr. Huang, everyone else agreed, as if this was not the first time this had happened.

It took Xu Yu several seconds to come back to her senses. She looked at Jiang Yi with complicated eyes.

It turns out that she always thought that Brother Yi, who was upright and straightforward, also knew about the black market, and his brain was so flexible!

If such a man were to go into business a few decades later, he would surely achieve considerable success!

In addition, she had heard a lot about this group of people in the past few days. She knew that the retirement benefits received by retired soldiers were not much, and each family had its own difficulties. Who wouldn't want to have some extra income?

Thinking of this, Xu Yu nodded to Jiang Yi: "Okay."

Jiang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Xiaoyu doesn't like them doing this, he definitely won't do it.

After all, doing things that are not allowed openly is against the law, and he doesn't want Xiaoyu to be scared because of him doing such things.

What surprised him was that Xiaoyu seemed just a little surprised that he would do this, rather than afraid.

This relieved him.

Then a group of people walked in the direction the animals came from.

Because of the animals' trampling, the jungle that was originally difficult to walk in has become easier to walk in.

Xu Yu was particularly surprised to find that many herbs were directly picked up by them with their roots, and everyone just had to pick them up.

So everyone picked up herbs as they walked.

And there are actually some animal carcasses that can be sold at high prices!

Later on, everyone became more and more excited as they picked up more things.

Jiang Yi reminded everyone: "Collect the herbs first, and then pick up the dead animals after you send the herbs back."

After all, everyone came here to help Xu Yu and Dr. Huang collect herbs.

While picking herbs, Xu Yu asked Jiang Yi, "Brother Yi, do you know where the black market is here?"

"know."

After Jiang Yi answered, Zhu Juncheng, who was following them, added helpfully: "Boss knows where the black markets are in many provinces and cities in China."

Xu Yu looked at Jiang Yi in surprise.

Jiang Yi explained: "When I was doing missions before, some things could only be bought and sold on the black market to avoid exposing my identity."

Xu Yu understood, but she only asked what she could ask: "Since you know where the black market is, have you ever thought about going there to make money after you come back?"

Jiang Yi: "That's not necessary."

Xu Yu: “…”

Xu Yu thought about it. He had several thousand dollars on him and probably had never thought about spending a lot of money before. There was really no need to take the risk of trading on the black market.

……

A group of people walked along the traces left by the animals for more than two hours until they heard a stronger smell of blood ahead, and Jiang Yi asked everyone to stop.

He pointed at two of them and said to the others, "You protect Xiaoyu and Dr. Huang. We'll go over and check out the situation first."

"Okay, boss!"

Jiang Yi said to Xu Yu again: "Stay here and don't wander around. We'll go take a look and come back. If there is any danger over there, run away immediately."

Xu Yu was worried about him: "You should be careful too."

"Ah."

Jiang Yi continued to walk forward with the two people.

The surroundings were eerily quiet. Zhu Juncheng, who had followed him, whispered, "A few people must have died up ahead. I wonder how badly the tiger is injured, or if it's lurking nearby."

Jiang Yi: "Everyone, please pay attention."

At this time, several people took out the weapons they brought.

Walk forward more carefully.

After walking for a while, when they saw many broken limbs scattered on a piece of trampled soil in front of them, Jiang Yi and his companions, who were used to such scenes, couldn't help but frown.

As they got closer, everyone looked around and quickly gathered together.

Zhu Juncheng said to Jiang Yi, "Boss, we haven't found any traces of the tiger anywhere, but there are signs of crushing in one direction. I think a few of these people are still alive and ran in that direction."

Another person continued, "It's possible the tiger also chased the fleeing people."

"Boss, are we still going to follow?"

Jiang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Send Xiaoyu and Dr. Huang back first."

After saying that, he took the two of them back to Xu Yu and the others.

Xu Yu asked about the situation, and Jiang Yi talked to her about it. Then he said, "Let's send you back to the cave in the valley first. We'll come back to pick up the animal carcasses later."

Xu Yu nodded, and everyone took the herbs and walked towards the valley where Zhang Tiezhu was.
