Jiang Wan strode forward, yanked the man out, and dragged him to the center of the courtyard like a dead dog. "Speak, where is the silver, jewelry, and clothes from my room! Also, where are the people from my household! And the people in this village!" kuAiδugg
The so-called leader was so terrified by Jiang Wan's divine strength that he peed himself. Fearing a beating, he quickly curled up, protecting his head.
Jiang Wan had no patience and directly kicked him.
The leader felt his bones crack with a crisp sound, and he cried out in pain.
Jiang Wan stepped on his chest. "I'm asking you a question. Are you deaf or mute? If you don't answer, I'll break both your ribs!"
The leader felt that the small foot on his chest had an astonishing amount of strength, and his bones were already at their limit. He quickly said, "I'll talk, I'll talk!"
"In this house, when we arrived, there was only some grain and furniture. As for the people in this courtyard, we never saw them. The people in the village... it is said they all went into the city. The magistrate of Yao County ordered the shops in the city to clear out their rooms to allow the people from outside the city to take refuge..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man couldn't bear the pressure on his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
Jiang Wan calmly withdrew her foot and turned to Jiang Pan and Chen Yuezhi. "It seems Sister-in-law and the others should have all gone into the city."
Chen Yuezhi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her family was safe, the things and money in the house, though regrettable, were nothing compared to the safety of her family.
Jiang Wan looked at the messy courtyard and said to the people on the ground, "Get out of here immediately, or I'll chop you all up and throw you into the river to feed the fish!
The refugees were injured, and upon hearing Jiang Wan's words, they quickly struggled to get up and ran out.
This little girl was too strange. She looked only five or six years old, but she had such immense strength that she could break bones with a single kick.
Especially since she was always shouting and threatening to fight, it was terrifying.
If they had known the owner of this courtyard was so terrifying, they would never have come here to die.
The refugees fled out of the courtyard desperately. In a short while, only the unconscious leader remained in the courtyard.
Yan Li was about to say he would handle the person, but Jiang Wan turned around, found the right angle, and kicked the large living person out of the courtyard with one kick.
Hearing the sound of the leader hitting the ground, Yan Li felt his heart skip a beat.
This girl usually seemed like a normal child, so why was she so ferocious?
Jiang Wan looked at the chaotic courtyard, her chest feeling stuffy with anger. Looking at her tea tree, she felt even more heartbroken.
The once spiritual old tea tree was now almost bald from being ravaged by the refugees. Its branches were broken and scattered, and there was no trace of spiritual energy left.
If Divine Doctor Jin saw it like this, wouldn't he be so angry he'd spit blood?
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have been so eager to dig it out of the mountain.
Fearing that the old tea tree would die, Jiang Wan quickly infused it with her special ability to repair the injured parts. As for the broken branches, there was nothing she could do about them now.
Jiang Pan and Yan Li repaired the main gate together, then took charcoal and wrote a few large characters on the door: Trespassers will die!
After the fierce battle just now, she believed no one would dare to break into their courtyard again.
With the house in such disarray and refugees everywhere outside, it was impossible to stay in the village for now.
They had to go into the city to find their relatives.
Locking the main gate, the few of them prepared to set off again.
This time, Chen Yuezhi let Jiang Wan wait inside the carriage and drove it herself.
As soon as Jiang Wan entered the carriage, Xiao Bao was so scared that he cowered into Jiang Xiao's arms, looking at her as if she were a ghost.
He was scared by her kick just now.
Jiang Wan wrinkled her nose. "Coward! If you don't behave in the future, and your mother is too soft to hit you, I will."
Xiao Bao shivered and cried loudly in Jiang Xiao's arms.
Auntie is so scary, he didn't want to be in the same carriage as her.
After more than ten days of getting along, Xiao Bao was now very attached to Jiang Xiao.
They were mother and son, and the blood connection, coupled with Jiang Xiao's meticulous care, made it impossible for a child less than three years old to have strong willpower. Within two days, he started calling Jiang Xiao "Mom."
When Xiao Bao called her, Jiang Xiao cried and laughed, kissing the child repeatedly, which frightened him.
Seeing her son crying from fear, Jiang Xiao smiled helplessly. "Wan Wan, you are an elder, you can't scare juniors like this."
Jiang Wan snorted. "Sister, he's a boy, not a little girl. If he's so timid, he'll grow up to be a sissy!"
Jiang Xiao was amused and speechless. "He's not even three years old..."
It was normal for a child this age to be timid and afraid.
Jiang Wan thought about herself at three years old... well, she couldn't remember.
But she firmly believed that when she was three, she was definitely not like Xiao Bao, whimpering all day long. After all, orphans in the apocalypse had no right to whimper. If their crying annoyed someone, they might be thrown into a zombie pile.
However, thinking of Xiao Bao's experience and the current general environment, Jiang Wan did not blame Xiao Bao. She just pouted and sat on the carriage shaft.
In a short while, they arrived at the edge of the county town.
The county town gate was tightly shut. There were a few refugees gathered below, but not many. There were a few people on the city wall.
Jiang Pan looked up and saw a familiar face, so he quickly shouted.
The people on the city wall took a closer look. "Brother Pan, you're back? Hurry, go down and open the gate, let Brother Pan and the others in!"
A moment later, the heavy city gate was opened, and the Jiang family quickly slipped inside. The nearby refugees heard the commotion and also rushed over, trying to squeeze into the city gate. However, they were met with the swords, spears, and clubs of the soldiers, which scared them into retreating.
The city gate was quickly closed.
Jiang Pan bowed to his colleague and asked, "Brother, do you know where my household is now?"
The man replied, "They are all at our lord's mansion."
The family's hanging hearts finally settled. "What about the other people from the small mountain village?"
The man smiled. "Some have been settled in your restaurant, and others in the shop next to yours. Don't worry, everyone is fine. Our lord saw that the situation was not good and decisively ordered the people around the county town to quickly harvest grain and then enter the city, which saved everyone's lives and property."
Upon hearing this, the Jiang family felt immense respect for Lord Cheng.
After all, when they were in Jianzhou, that scoundrel magistrate had fled with his family.
They were both magistrates, but look at the difference!
