"Shh, it's me, Xiao Yanyan."

Ah Jiu pulled his hand from his mouth in shock:

"What are you doing? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Her heart was still stuck in her throat and her voice had changed.

Her eyesight was so good that she was attracted by Taozi, but she didn't see her grandson Tuoba Yan here, which scared her to death.

"Didn't Uncle ask me to keep vigil? It was said that both of their main forces had gone out. Didn't I just come down from that slope?"

Xiao Yanyan also found that Sister Ah Jiu was so scared that she quickly explained:

"I just found a few figures in the woods. Didn't I find a dark place to hide and observe."

"What?" Ah Jiu said indifferently.

Something fell from the tree. Ah Jiu turned to look and grabbed the lump on the ground with the help of the dim moonlight.

"It's done? So fast?" Ah Jiu was overjoyed and took a bite. It was really tender and juicy.

This speed is faster than her planting wheat. Could it be possible that this kind of seed is brought from space, so it has a certain aura in itself?

"Shhh." Xiao Yanyan said, "What is this? It can actually be eaten."

Ah Jiudun reached out to grab it and put it in his pocket on the front of his coat.

Tuoba Yan didn't have time to wonder what that thing was at the moment.

"Ajiu, you have good eyesight, do you think that is a human figure?" Xiao Yanyan said this.

Ah Jiu was brought back to reality and hurriedly crouched down and hid in the shadow of the peach tree to look in the direction pointed by Xiao Yanyan.

Sure enough, there were four or five people going in and out of those wooden houses.

Their clothes were all in tatters, but Ah Jiu could spot at a glance the guy who looked like the leader standing outside the wooden house with his arms folded.

He was probably in his thirties and was looking around until the three people who entered the house came out.

The leading hand waved his hand and disappeared into the forest. It seemed that he was rushing to the next house. From the looks of it, he found himself here very quickly.

"Xiao Yanyan, you stay here and watch while I go find my father and Uncle Wu. Although these people are dressed in shabby clothes, I think the knives in their hands are for officials, and they don't look like refugees."

If it is a wandering militia, its nature is very different. On one side, it acts as a backer for the government, and on the other side, it forms a clique with the bandits, but they do not spit out the bones of people who kill people.

Ah Jiu turned around and left, but was dragged back by Xiao Yanyan:

"Don't go anywhere here, I'm going to find someone..."

With that said, Xiao Yanyan stuffed the wooden scabbard that she had made at some time into Ah Jiu:

“It’s easy to carry and you won’t accidentally hurt yourself.”

"Then be careful." Ah Jiu didn't force it. He grabbed the horn knife and looked up at the rapidly ripening peach.

No, Ah Jiu rolled his eyes, there was still an urgent matter that needed to be done now.

The horn knife is the only tool.

After about a stick of incense, Ah Jiu saw several figures walking out of the forest.

She turned around and looked anxiously at the distant mountains. Why hasn't dad come back yet?

"Nobita, did you say you saw smoke from cooking here during the day? Why didn't you see any human hair?"

The leader cursed and walked down the mountain towards the next house.

"I did see the second boss, but I didn't know how many there were, so I didn't dare to come over."

The man named Daxiong patted his chest and said, "I can guarantee that I'm right. Look, there's another house there. Maybe it's the one I saw."

"You kid, if you don't find anything valuable and useful, I will be the first to dig out your blind eyes."

Ah Jiu was panting now, covering her mouth and not daring to breathe. She just waited for them to enter the forest enough to block their sight, then got up and ran to the house.

"Mother...mother, wake up quickly."

Ah Jiu shook her head and woke up Cai Lihua. She was afraid that she would yell loudly and quickly gave her a silent sign.

When my father left, he told me not to light the fire.

"Someone is coming, hurry up, mother, let's move Aunt Wu and her mother to a place."

Cai Lihua was so frightened that she didn't even bother to put on her shoes, so she hurriedly carried the two of them to the back of the house with her daughter.

Aunt Wu might have been too weak to scream like that.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Wu, who was tired from crying, was suddenly woken up by fright and shouted.

Ah Jiu's scalp felt numb for a while, and then there was the sound of rapid footsteps outside.

There was a crisp crackling sound, which sounded like stepping on the wooden board. It was obvious that the person had arrived at the door.

With a bang, the door was kicked in, and the torch instantly illuminated the entire shabby house without any blind spots.
