Xiao Wu understood what was going on when he heard Jiang Chuan’s words. Ever since Brother Jiang split up with his family, he had heard a lot about how the Jiang family had abused Brother Jiang. At that time, he was still wondering how one could be so biased.
“It’s like this. There were always a lot of good things in Mountain Tong but it was rare that people brought them down. Occasionally, people would bring ginseng down and sell it for a lot of money. Some people got jealous and tried bringing their relatives up into the mountains but they end up losing their lives.” Xiao Wu sighed as he spoke and continued to tell him what happened next.
“At that time, it was the village chief who brought us up the mountain to look for people. We only found a few corpses. Their faces and limbs were missing. Their families were able to identify them by their clothes.”

This was also the reason why the villagers thought that Jiang Chuan and the others had died in the mountains when they first arrived.
After listening to the story, Jiang Xia’s expression changed slightly. If such a ferocious beast really existed in the mountains, she wondered if her mother could deal with it.
However, even if her mother could not defeat the beasts, she had water from her interspace. She could take it out and lure the wild beasts away from them.
“Thank you for informing me! We’ll be careful when we go up the mountain.” Jiang Chuan said.
Xiao Wu’s original intention was to get Jiang Chuan to give up the idea of entering the mountain, but it was useless.
Seeing that they couldn’t persuade Jiang Chuan, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Li didn’t stay any longer. They were about to leave when Jiang Xia stopped them.
“Thank you, Uncle Wu and Uncle Li, for telling us so much. It’s already dinner time. Why don’t you two uncles have dinner here?”
Their journey into the mountain could be as short as a few days, or as long as half a month. It could be considered as completely cutting off contact with the village. Since these two people were willing to be on good terms with her family, they might as well be nice to them. It would also help them catch up on information when they do come down from the mountain.
“This isn’t good!” Xiao Wu looked a little embarrassed.
He was not good at cooking and often ate what other people cook. But with the current situation of the lack of food, he could not be too thick-skinned.
Hearing Xiao Wu’s words, Xiao Li also stood up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJiang Chuan smiled and stopped the two of them. “You two are too formal. You came to persuade me because you are worried about our family’s safety. I understand what you mean. Since you see me as a brother, why arc you being so polite now?”
“Let your mother cook two more dishes,” Jiang Chuan said to Jiang Xia. “Let’s have a good meal tonight.”
“Alright!” Jiang Xia answered happily and ran to the kitchen.
When Zhou Lan saw Jiang Xia running over, she thought that they had run out of water and she needed her to refill it.
“No, Mom, Dad said that Uncle Wu and Uncle Li are eating at our house today and asked you to make more dishes.”
After saying that, Jiang Xia added firewood to the stove and told her mother what she had heard just now. She thought that she would see her mother’s afraid look, but Zhou Lan added water to the pot and said with a smile, “There really arc large wild beasts in this mountain! Could it be a tiger or something? If it’s really a tiger, I’ll show you the modern version of Wu Song beating the tiger.”
Jiang Xia’s face darkened. “Mother, can you be more reserved and maintain your ladylike image? Don’t always show off your strange strength. Also, Xiao Gu has been learning bad things from you recently.”
Jiang Xia pouted in dissatisfaction. She and her father wanted to train Xiao Gu into a well-educated and well-mannered lady, while her mother wanted to train Xiao Gu into a tough woman. The most infuriating thing was that Xiao Gu was really swayed by her mother.
She and her father had been so worried, but her mother was actually clapping and saying that Xiao Gu had the potential to learn martial arts. Xiao Gu really took after her mother.
“What do you mean by bad? I was teaching Xiao Gu to protect herself. Some time ago, the two of you were beaten up.. If you had learned how to protect yourselves, you wouldn’t have been beaten up by that old fellow!”
