"Jintang, run! Grandmother is blocking the way, you must run!"

The old lady kicked away a refugee who was trying to grab Jintang, and stood in front of him like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

Xiao Jintang's tired eyes suddenly lit up.

Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt are back in their horse-drawn carriage!

Mother and Aunt were already in the carriage.

Huo Jingya shouted, "Jintang, reach out!"

Huo Jintang reached out his hand toward the carriage, ran a few steps, and was lifted up by Huo Jingya.

The old lady was also pulled onto the carriage, but as she was being pulled, the jar in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, spilling out all the water and meat inside.

"Meat...meat...Tai Sui..."

We can't throw it away! We can't throw it away! That's the flesh of a rare fungus, it's Lao Si's medicine!

If Huo Jingya hadn't held her back, the old lady probably would have jumped down again.

“Meat…meat…”

The old lady watched helplessly as the refugee picked up the piece of meat and swallowed it whole, and she couldn't help but slap her thigh and cry.

Oh, her bad luck!

"Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law is over there!" Huo Jingya exclaimed, her eyes wide with horror.

I saw my third aunt sitting in the middle of the chaotic road, clutching a wooden hairpin in her hand, about to stab herself in the neck.

"Third sister-in-law——"

The wooden hairpin that Xie Yurou had aimed at her neck was knocked away.

A long arrow grazed her cheek and embedded itself in the ground.

"Capture them alive—"

The bandit leader, a fierce-looking man with a thick beard, let out a triumphant roar and then spurred his horse toward Xie Yurou.

At the same time, Sang Ning and Huo Chang'an also drove their carriage over.

Based on distance and the breed of horse, the bandits should have captured the person first, but—

Sang Ning suddenly pulled something out of his pocket and threw it out.

It hit the bandit right in the face.

The bandit fell headfirst off the horse.

The moment his head hit the ground, a large crab landed right in front of his face.

Crabs are falling from the sky?

Xie Yurou was rescued, and the carriage quickly turned and sped back.

A group of bandits were about to give chase when their horses suddenly stopped, nearly throwing them off.

A dozen or so horses were engaged in a fierce battle over something.

"What the hell?"

"I don't know how it's made!"

"Hey, Old Ghost, don't get any closer! Stay away!"

"Oh no! My horse is out of control!"

Another piece of something was thrown over, and the bandits were completely thrown into chaos. It wasn't until the carriage had gone some distance that they were shocked to see what had caused the horse to lose control.

It's a green pea sandwich?

Where would you find green pea pods at this time?

Is this some kind of ghost?!

Inside the carriage, Huo Jingya excitedly asked, "Fourth Sister-in-law, what did you just throw? How could it make the horses fight?"

Everyone else was curious and looked at Sang Ning.

Sang Ning pulled it out and threw it out so fast that no one could see it, so they didn't know what it was.

"I picked the jute fruit from the riverbed. Their horses were very thin and looked very hungry. When I scattered it over, they scrambled to eat it."

Abutilon is commonly found along riverbanks and is also known locally as green hemp or green bun.

Its skin can be used to make whips for driving cattle, and the fruit is a small, enclosed package that can be peeled and eaten.

However, these ladies certainly didn't know that.

Sure enough, Huo Jingya exclaimed, "Fourth Sister-in-law knows so much. I looked around there but didn't find anything useful."

Everyone was excited to have survived the ordeal, but the old lady lay on the edge of the car, silently grieving.

Jin Xin, who usually clung to the old lady, no longer sought a hug from her, but instead nestled in Xie Yurou's arms and refused to come out.

Sang Ning supported Huo Chang'an's waist from behind, allowing him to sit steadily in the carriage.

There was a layer of blood around his mouth, from biting the reins with his teeth.

He was ruthless enough that, in order to prevent himself from losing control of his legs and being thrown off by the horse, he wrapped the reins around his neck and held them in his mouth, while holding the horse's neck with both hands and pressing his face against it to soothe it.

After being violently kicked and shoved, his body tilted to one side several times, and his veins bulged from being strangled, but he still managed to slowly crawl back to his original position.

He only released the reins from the horse's mouth once the horse had calmed down.

His mouth was full of blood.

The horse was already stable, and Sang Ning could easily have acted as the coachman, but she chose to stay behind him.

He should be willing to do these things for his family; he doesn't want to be a useless person.

Behind him was the woman's cool, refreshing scent. The young man's upper body was tense as he gripped the reins and stared straight ahead, oblivious to the surrounding conversations.

The carriage finally rushed into the mountains.

On a large rock, Yunshuixian finally waited for someone.

She glared at Sang Ning with a look of deep resentment, as if she hated someone for letting them die without helping them.

When Sang Ning and Huo Chang'an returned to rescue the people, Yun Shuixian was running in the lead, and the two of them skipped over her and ran to the back.

Yun Shuixian, who wanted to get on the bus, was left standing there.

Of course she hates Sang Ning!

Li Yuzhi picked up the bundle that Yun Shuixian had thrown away.

Although they are worthless, they are life-saving items. If we lose them, even if we escape to the mountains, we won't survive!

This Yun Shuixian is utterly useless, more trouble than she's worth!

Nobody likes her anymore.

"Abandon the carriage, we need to go further in," Huo Chang'an said.

"Ah? It's so hard to find a carriage." Huo Jingya was reluctant to part with it.

"Throw it away quickly, those bandits won't let it go easily."

Grain, money, and women were all their targets for plunder. Once they found something, they were like cats smelling fish or ferocious beasts seeing blood.

They wouldn't give up so easily.

“That’s right! I’ll drive the horse in another direction to attract their attention.” Sang Ning said, removing the saddle.

“Sister-in-law, you can take the cart platform off so you can carry Silang into the mountains.”

Sang Ning led the horse in a certain direction, then took out a few ears of corn that had just sprouted kernels from his spatial storage and fed them to the horse.

"Thank you for saving our lives. We don't have time to eat you now. You're so lucky, you're free."

The horse wolfed down the corn, then, still a little reluctant, nudged Sang Ning for more, only to be slapped on the rump by her.

It let out a screech, startled again.

It took off running.

Cowardly horse.

"Big brother! They're over there!"

I could vaguely hear the shouts of the bandits.

Sang Ning quickly ran back.

They walked another five or six miles into the mountains, but they were all too exhausted to go any further.

The chains wore the cloth wrapped around her ankles to shreds.

That damned Du Shan, he doesn't value the lives of prisoners. Huo Chang'an is right, how can someone who can be a head constable be a good person?

He probably didn't kill anyone himself, but many people must have died at his hands.

It's okay, they'll all be returned.

"It's gone, it's gone..." The old lady burst into tears, unable to hold on any longer, and collapsed onto Huo Chang'an, wailing loudly.

"It's all my fault! I can't even hold a jar properly. The medicine I finally got is gone!"

"Fourth brother, what are you going to do?!"

Besides Huo Chang'an, only the old lady knew about the Tai Sui meat.

Every day, Sang Ning would prepare a little fish and meat, which the old lady would then prepare and distribute to everyone.

The old lady firmly believed this statement.

Because she loves food, she has eaten all sorts of delicacies in her life, and she has tasted everything.

The Marquis even brought her whales from the open ocean to eat.

Unappetizing.
