C132 The Frigid Lady Song Li

Jiang Ting drove the carriage the same way as Song Zhien, holding onto the donkey cart all along the way.

But he walked quickly, the strength in his hands was also much stronger than Song Zhien, and his vision in the darkness was also much better than Song Zhien's.

There was no clumsiness on the way down the mountain, but Jiang Ting's footsteps were so soft that they could barely be heard. There was the sound of a wooden carriage, the sound of a donkey's footsteps, and the chirping of insects in a field.

At this moment, Song Zhien still did not know that the reason he heard the sound of footsteps was because this person did not want to scare him with his sudden appearance.

Silence, silence, and occasionally accompanied by the painful cries of the river crabs from Mian Niang. On this dark night, there was an exceptionally strange, terrifying feeling.

Song Zhien could not take it anymore, the numbness on his arm slowly disappeared, and instead, he felt a kind of swelling pain. Previously, his body had also been punched and kicked by the servant, and now, it seemed to have erupted all of a sudden.

The most important thing was that he was afraid.

He was afraid that this person would kill them to keep their mouths shut, and that this person would suddenly go back on his words and throw him and the Sis A on the mountain road that was devoid of business.

This fear was caused by hearing the howls of the wolves, magnified countless times in the forest.

There had to be something, something that could distract him. There was no need to be so afraid.

"You … You... "What's your name?" He remembered the teachings of the teacher in the academy and changed his mind.

"Jiang Ting."

His voice was wooden and dull, as if he was saying a name that had nothing to do with him.

There was another silence.

"Why did you save us?"

The man holding the donkey suddenly stopped and indicated for him to be quiet. His fingers reached to his waist and grabbed the hilt of his sword.

Although Song Zhien didn't know what was happening, he was still scared by her expression and immediately became silent.

In the darkness, the sound of a tree branch being broken could be heard. The hoarse breathing of a wild beast was slowly approaching them.

Its two green eyes were fixed on the prey in front of it.

This was an old wolf attracted by the smell of blood.

Song Zhien clearly saw what was coming and he shouted, "Ah …" He immediately covered his mouth.

He looked at Jiang Ting who was standing beside the horse carriage, wanting to say "Let's quickly run, catch up to the donkey cart and run quickly, maybe we can even escape from this wild beast's pursuit."

However, he did not say it out loud. Jiang Ting hid to the side, leapt onto a tree behind him, and exposed himself to the wolf along with the Sis A.

Song Zhien did not have any stance to criticize the other party. After all, they were not related to each other in any way, and it was already unexpected for them to be able to speak up for them in the courtyard.

He mustered his courage and tried to think of the move that Argus had given him. He tried to think of how he could fight against this wild beast.

Just by looking at that pair of greedy eyes, he was already very afraid. He was simply unable to concentrate on thinking about anything else.

Just like the donkey with the reins, the moment it saw a wild beast like this, it lost all its temper and its legs became so weak that it could almost kneel on the ground.

The wolf looked up and down, making sure that the man who had suddenly disappeared before its eyes was not a threat to it. Its eyes focused once again on the bloody cart.

Following that, both sides moved at almost the same time.

The wolf pounced towards the smell of blood with lightning speed. With its mouth wide open, he could clearly see the meat pieces hanging on its fangs, which Song Zhien blocked off his sister's body without thinking.

Just when Song Zhien thought that he would be torn to shreds by this old wolf, he heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed, followed by a "plop". It was the sound of a heavy object landing on the ground.

The wolf moved twice on the ground and then stopped moving.

The man calmly sheathed his sword and pulled up the reins.

It was as if nothing had happened.

The donkey's legs were still soft and uncontrollable. He wasn't in a hurry and silently dragged the wolf away. Then, he turned around and walked back to where he was holding onto the reins.

The animal also had a keen intuition. Knowing that the danger was over, the donkey gradually returned to normal.

Song Zhien looked at this man who had almost blended into the darkness and felt a strange sense of security in his heart.

He had even forgotten about him using his own siblings as bait.

The following words were like a chatterbox. He chattered on and on about his thanks, trying to chat with this person to get rid of the lingering fear in his heart.

The other party did not reply. It was still the sound of the cart, the donkey's footsteps, and the sound of the insects' chirping.

Song Zhien, who was only wearing a simple set of clothes, shivered coldly. An ill-timed thought suddenly emerged in his mind.

However, the truth was that when the carriage stopped at the entrance of Tian Jia Wan Village, the man did not say a single word. Not only did Song Zhien's words not respond, even her clothes and other clothes did not exist.

The reins were handed back to Song Zhien, who thanked the stupefied and paralyzed man once again.

The other party completely ignored him, and picked up Mian Niang once again.

"I want to take the blanket away!"

"My Sis A …"

"I only have this one blanket!"

"Ah …"

Song Zhien stared at the other party and followed his instructions to take down the blanket. Once again, Mian Niang was placed onto the carriage, the unpaved carriage made her feel extremely uncomfortable, but she only moved slightly, to the point that she could not attract other people's attention.

Jiang Ting glanced at the person on the carriage and the corner of his mouth twitched, but he did not say anything. He folded up the blanket and hugged it, before turning around and leaving.

His figure was quickly swallowed up by the darkness.

Song Zhien took a long time before he remembered that the situation of the Sis A was not looking good. He quickly held the donkey and was about to head home, when he saw a light moving towards them from the village.

It was the Village Chief who had brought his men to look for the two siblings.

As he walked in, seeing the familiar face, Song Zhien's nose twitched and he almost cried.

"What's going on? What happened to Mian Niang?"

When the village chief's lantern shined on Mian Niang's body, he was shocked by the other party's motionless look. His heart sank and instantly recalled the time when Song Youfu died, it was exactly the same as the current Mian Niang.

Almost subconsciously testing Mian Niang's breath, only after determining that she was still alive, did the village chief heave a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly changed to an experienced old cart and took the donkey's reins. Without asking what had happened, he hurriedly sent the two siblings home.

Ever since Mian Niang had left with these people, Madame Song Li had never returned to her room, she had been waiting outside the entire time. She was completely powerless and could not take them all, but she still insisted on waiting outside.

They had to wait for their youngest son to return safely.

Seeing that the villagers had returned after walking for a short distance, he knew that his son had returned, so he forced himself to stand up.

A Yunniang was worried that she would faint, hence he stood by her side and supported her.

"You just have to stop everyone from helping you bring the two siblings back. If Li Chang and the others had left, they might have already returned!"

"Back?"

Song Li shook her head and sighed, "Sister-in-law, how could it be that easy? You didn't see the vicious appearance of the people who came today, so how could this be good? Even if Minister Li and the others went, they would only be implicated with them.

"We can't let Mian Niang just follow her around in a daze. She's just a young girl, what kind of world has she gone through?

In the darkness, Madame Song's eyes were filled with helplessness and a hint of disdain, "If it's already like that, how can I bully you?"

A Yunniang looked at her in shock, as if he couldn't believe his own ears. He didn't understand why the usually gentle Mrs. Song Li would say such words, especially when she was his own daughter.

They had clearly doted on their daughter just like how they had doted on their two sons. Even if he were to change the engagement, it would be an act of helplessness.

After Mian Niang was taken care of, although Madame Song Li would always vent her anger on her daughter, A Yunniang had always thought that it was just her anger for a moment.

Madame Song Li also realized that something was amiss and quickly explained, "I don't have any other intentions, it's just that I was once a family, so I just want to know whether it was the tofu hyacinth or the Elementary Scholar, as long as they thought of their past relationship, things would not be so bad. "Sister-in-law, with the way we are now, we have already caused a lot of trouble for everyone. How can we bring trouble on everyone and implicate everyone?"

A Yunniang accepted the reason, but he still felt it was strange, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

He thought for a bit and still persuaded: "Younger Sister-in-law, you have to think things through, everything has already happened, and it's not Mian Niang's fault, it's really her family members being too unscrupulous, you can stop blaming Mian Niang, her heart isn't feeling good either!"

Before Madame Song and Li could reply, that group of people had already arrived in front of them.

Madame Song Li saw her youngest son standing beside Li Chang at first glance. She quickly walked over and hugged her youngest son. After some questioning, her heart ached for him.

A Yunniang looked at his empty hands and sighed in his heart. He asked hurriedly, "Where is Mian Niang?"

Everyone moved aside, only then did A Yunniang see the unconscious Mian Niang, and he could not help but take a deep breath.

At this time, Song Zhien also pushed Mother away, and pointed at his sister who was on the carriage as he said to Madame Song: "Mother, Sis A, in order to save me, I received a lot of whips, and I was almost cut in half by the Mayer's disease girl."
