“Ms. Song.” An Dong looked at the girl who had descended from the sky in surprise.
Shen Yijia nodded mysteriously. When she turned around and saw Song Jingchen coming over with Furball, she immediately put on a meek smile.
The people in the house ran out when they heard the commotion. One of them widened his eyes in fear when he saw who it was. He was so frightened that the jar he was holding fell to the ground.
The others were also frightened, but the difference was that they saw Furball.
The scene fell strangely silent. Song Jingchen glanced at them and paused. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are you going to leave or not?”
The few of them looked at each other, as if wondering if they could take down Furball.
The person who was frightened by Shen Yijia was already trembling and nodding. “Let’s go. Let’s go immediately.”
After saying that, he glanced at them and gestured for them to follow.
Seeing that the bandits had left, Auntie Tian suddenly knelt on the ground and cried, “Miss Song, please save our Xiu’er.”
Shen Yijia was wondering why An Xiu’er was not around. She asked curiously, “What happened to her?”
“She was taken away by that group just now.” Father An sighed.
It turned out that when those people barged in and saw that An Xiu’er looked pretty, they wanted to bring her back and give her to their boss for credit.
If Shen Yijia had come a step earlier, she might have bumped into the person who took An Xiu’er away.
Shen Yijia was speechless.
Why did she feel that An Xiu’er was a little unlucky? She would’ve been rescued if Shen Yijia came a little earlier.
It started snowing, and soon, they were covered in snow.
Since she had already rescued the An family, it was impossible for her to leave An Xiu’er alone.
It was already late at night and the weather was cold. The bandits were making such a big fuss that they definitely wouldn’t run away after robbing the village. They were probably looking for a place to survive the winter.
Xiagou Village was unlucky enough to be chosen by them.
After Song Jingchen finished analyzing the situation, Father An and the others were relieved. It was useless for the An family to go. Moreover, Auntie Tian had just been frightened, so she asked An Dong to stay and take care of them.
The two of them left the An family home, but they did not go straight to the ancestral hall in the village.
“Husband, aren’t we going to save Xiu’er?” Shen Yijia asked curiously when she saw Song Jingchen heading home.
He had just spoken to Father An nicely and told them not to worry. It wouldn’t be good to change his mind in the blink of an eye.
Song Jingchen glanced at her and said indifferently, “She won’t die. Go back to the house and wear more clothes.”
He had to save her, but he only promised to save her life. Anything else was none of his business.
Shen Yijia had always felt that Song Jingchen was very smart. For example, he could guess the motives of those bandits without asking.
Therefore, when she heard him say that, she believed him and did not feel that there was anything wrong.
She returned to the house and put on the cloak that Madam Li had made. Song Jingchen also insisted that she put on the scarf made of the rabbit fur that Shen Yijia had hunted.
Faced with her beautiful husband’s sudden enthusiasm, Shen Yijia wondered if it would be inconvenient to fight later.
Song Jingchen didn’t seem to notice her gaze and wrapped it around her. He took out another scarf and wrapped it around Furball.
If Furball could speak, it would probably say, “I was born with a scarf. I don’t need it.”
Fifteen minutes later, the man and tiger were wrapped into balls by Song Jingchen. Shen Yijia felt that this was enough and wanted to bring Furball out, but Song Jingchen blocked her way and said, “I’ll go with you.”
Shen Yijia was speechless.
“Don’t they say that saving lives is like putting out a fire? Time is of the essence. I think you’re stalling, but I have no proof.”?she thought.
