It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 176

Jiang Yan hadn't gone far in the woods when she began to stumble. She was angry but also worried about her weakened body.

The battery was stored for six hours and was completely used up in a moment. This alarming leakage rate made her wonder how to deal with the potential danger and return to Dongshan Village as soon as possible.

Relying on the pity of the faint moonlight in the sky, Jiang Yan staggered from one tree to another, and then from one tree to another, until he found a small shrub that seemed to be bearing fruit.

She picked up a few stones and threw them at the fish. After making sure that no snakes or other poisonous insects had escaped, she slowly approached. Using her eyes, which were suffering from worsening night blindness, she tried to determine whether the fish were ripe and edible.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yan came across a very sturdy tree with his arms full of fruits. He crawled up the tree slowly like a caterpillar, and then sat on a branch.

He then tied his left wrist to the branch with a hemp rope he picked up, and then he began to eat the fruit to fill his stomach.

Jiang Yan didn't take any of the fruits that had been gnawed or pecked by small animals. She couldn't withstand the visit of wild bacteria or viruses. So, except for four or five that were slightly sweet, most of the ones she ate were so sour that her expression was out of control.

Fortunately, the fruit was juicy and sour, which slightly moistened her throat which had been dry for several days.

On the other side, not long after Jiang Yan left, Guard Zhou on the cart suddenly opened his eyes.

He felt a sharp pain in his coma, so painful that he felt danger and was determined to wake up no matter what.

But when he woke up, he found that there was no thief doing evil to him, and the ropes that bound his hands were no longer there.

It's really strange...

Guard Zhou didn't have time to think about it. He took out the cloth ball that was stuffed in his mouth, and with his head still dizzy, he tiptoed to the cart tied on the other side, woke up his colleagues, and untied them.

As the effects of the drug had not yet worn off, the guards were afraid that they would not be able to defeat the human traffickers head-on. For safety reasons, they chose to steal the captured masters from the carriage first and wait until dawn to take revenge.

No matter how many times you count the human traffickers sleeping in the open air, there are always insufficient numbers, which means that some of them have hidden in the carriages.

Which carriage would the masters be thrown into? Guard Zhou and his men carefully lifted the curtains of the carriage and peered inside.

There were no lights on in the carriage, and it was even darker than the dark forest. It was impossible to tell where people were or who was who.

In desperation, the guards could only take the risk and choose between looking for someone by lighting a lamp or looking for someone in the dark.

The sudden brightness woke up the two human traffickers who were sleeping soundly in the carriage, hugging each other.

Guard Zhou was quick to pull out the two girls who were pressed under his arms and thighs, and ran away while holding one in each hand.

The other two guards rushed forward and pinned the traffickers down, drew their swords from their waists, covered their mouths and wiped their necks, then quickly got out of the carriage to resist other traffickers who had woken up.

The other carriage was dealt with in a similar way, except that there were quite a few maids in the carriage who were used as human cushions by the traffickers. They were crowded together and could not be pulled out all at once, so they had to kill them first and then rescue them.

While the fight was going on, Jiang Yan was still gnawing on wild fruits on a tree branch.

She pricked up her ears and listened to the screams coming from not far away. She couldn't help but sigh that teamwork was efficient, and suddenly she missed the three-person team she had formed.

Not long after, the forest returned to its tranquility, except that a few more lights appeared faintly in the thick fog.

With this visibility... Jiang Yan had no expression on her face. She had walked for so long and bumped into so many trees, but the straight-line distance was only about twenty meters.
