Green Water Village.

Hunter Wang and Lotus didn't sleep much all night.

Not only the two of them, but also Jiang Weiran and the four children, as well as Aunt Xie's family, did not get much sleep.

Xie Lan's home.

Fourth Aunt Xie asked Hunter Wang worriedly, "My niece-in-law and her friends went to Pingyao County early yesterday morning. Even if it took them half a day to go back and forth, they should have returned by now. Did something unexpected happen to them?"

Meihua advised: "Mom, don't overthink it, maybe he was delayed by something."

Juhua was not optimistic. She covered her eyelids and said with a distressed look on her face: "Mom, my right eyelid has been twitching since last night. They say that twitching of the left eye brings good luck and twitching of the right eye brings disaster. Could it be that Wan'er and the others..."

"Puh, puh, puh!" Fourth Aunt Xie glared at her and scolded, "What are you talking about! My niece-in-law is so lucky, how could anything happen to her? She must be on her way back!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Look at my mouth, I just can't speak!"

Juhua slapped herself twice, then covered her right eyelid.

Although Fourth Aunt Xie said this, her complexion did not improve and she still looked worried.

Hunter Wang frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Thank you, Fourth Auntie. Please drive the ox cart and take me to the county. We will go to the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency to see what is going on."

When she heard that they were going to look for someone, Fourth Aunt Xie immediately became excited and agreed, "You and I are thinking the same thing! I was also thinking of going to the county to look for my niece-in-law and her family!"

Just as Fourth Aunt Xie got home and hitched up the ox cart, she heard Juhua running over like the wind, saying happily, "Mom, Big Brother and Erzhu are back!"

Aunt Xie dropped the hemp rope and ran out of the yard quickly.

"Niece-in-law, you are back..."

Before the smile on her face was completely spread, Xie Erzhu jumped off the black horse and said with a sad face: "Mom, Xiaolan and my sister-in-law are in trouble!"

After these words were spoken, Fourth Aunt Xie and Hunter Wang were all shocked.

Xie Jing rushed towards Xie Erzhu like a whirlwind and asked anxiously: "Brother Erzhu, please tell me clearly, what happened to my eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law?!"

The others reacted and asked Xie Erzhu all at once.

Xie Erzhu was extremely anxious and said briefly, "Captain Feng of the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency said that Xiao Lan was an insider planted by the mountain bandits. Not only did she rob the goods, she also kidnapped Feng Yuanfei and his men. We were locked up all night, and when the cocks crowed in the morning, my sister-in-law was taken to Rising Sun Mountain by Captain Feng! I guess he wants to exchange my sister-in-law for his son!"

These words were like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake.

The waves stirred up were enough to engulf everyone present.

Jiang Weiran almost fainted when he heard this.

Fortunately, the hunter Wang next to him helped him up.

"Erzhu, what happened to Wan'er?"

Jiang Weiran's lips trembled as he stepped forward to confirm it again.

Xie Erzhu couldn't bear to repeat it again.

Hunter Wang was afraid that Jiang Weiran might get too excited and hurt himself, so he said to Hehua, "Help Fourth Uncle Jiang back to his room."

Although Hehua was anxious, she still obediently helped Jiang Weiran into the house.

Aunt Xie finally came to her senses. She stepped forward, grabbed Xie Erzhu's arm, and slapped him on the back.

"I asked you to keep an eye on my niece's wife, but what did you do? If anything happens to my niece's wife, I'll punish you!"

Xie Dazhu and Xie Erzhu let Aunt Xie scold them, with their heads down and not daring to say a word in rebuttal.

Hunter Wang interrupted Fourth Aunt Xie's questioning and tried to calm down and said, "Fourth Aunt, Dazhu and his men don't know martial arts, so of course they can't defeat a master like Feng Biaotou. It's useless to blame them. The most important thing right now is that we have to find helpers for Sister Jiang Wan. Otherwise, she will be held hostage by Feng Biaotou alone in the Rising Sun Mountain where bandits are rampant, and she will be misunderstood by Feng Biaotou. It will definitely be extremely dangerous."

Aunt Xie wiped her tears and nodded quickly, "You are right! But where can we find help?"

Hunter Wang thought about it, and a name came to his mind.

He said, "Aunt Si, let's go to the Qian family in Luohe Town!"

*

Qian family in Luohe Town.

Qian Yu has been a little depressed these days.

One reason was that he was ruthlessly rejected by Jiang Wan last time, and the other was that he was worried about Mrs. Qian's nagging.

Mrs. Qian said that she would take him to Pingyao County in a few days and let him follow the steward of the county cloth shop to learn how to manage a shop and do business.

But Qian Yu doesn't like doing business.

He doesn't like reading either.

There seemed to be nothing in the world that he liked.

He just wants to eat, drink and have fun every day and live a happy life.

But Mrs. Qian said that if he didn't learn business and take over the family business, she would find him a wife.

Qian Yu didn't want to get married so soon. Besides, he liked a girl like Jiang Wan who was both beautiful and capable.

After meeting Jiang Wan, how could he be interested in other vulgar women?

Unconsciously, I thought of Jiang Wan again.

Is it because Jiang Wan is not as good as Xie Lan that refuses to accept him?

Qian Yu thought for a long time and decided to follow Xie Lan's example and become a mature, steady and skilled man.

He was just about to ask Madam Qian to find him a martial arts master when he heard the servant hurriedly report: "Young Master, Madam wants you to go quickly!"

"What's the matter? Are you going to find me a wife again?"

Qian Yu raised his eyebrows and asked lazily.

The servant said, "No, a lame guest came to see the lady and said something happened to Miss Jiang..."

Before he finished speaking, Qian Yu had already strode out.

In the main hall.

"Mother, what happened to sister Wan'er..."

Qian Yu looked anxious, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Madam Qian said worriedly, "Xiao Yu'er, your sister Wan'er is in danger."

Then she briefly recounted what happened in the Dragon Tiger Escort Agency, and finally said, "It's not easy for mother to show up. You take the letter mother wrote to the county magistrate and ask him to send troops to Rising Sun Mountain to capture the bandits."

Qian Yu agreed without even thinking, "Okay! Mom, write it now!"

*

The official road outside Pingyao County.

Inside a galloping carriage.

Jiang Wan's hands were tied tightly behind his back with ropes, and there were two tall and strong bodyguards watching over him.

At this point, even if she grew wings, she couldn't fly away.

At first she had no idea why Escort Captain Feng wanted to see her, but she was escorted all the way to the escort agency, and when she saw the carriages and horses that had been prepared, she immediately understood.

Head Feng wants to take her to Rising Sun Mountain to exchange for hostages.

This result was expected, so Jiang Wan did not seem too surprised.

At present, Captain Feng has complete faith in Zhao Wei, and the life and death of Xie Lan and others is unknown.

Even for Xie Lan, she had to wade into the muddy water of Xuri Mountain.

The carriage traveled quickly for half a day and stopped at the foot of a big mountain.

Jiang Wan was brought out to get some fresh air.

As soon as she got off the carriage, Jiang Wan looked up and saw Zhou Suting getting off the carriage in front.

Zhou Suting glanced at her, nodded slightly to her, said nothing, and turned to eat.

Jiang Wan made sure that she had brought Luo Hai with her before she could eat with peace of mind.

As a hostage, she naturally had no particular taste for food.

A piece of dry and hard sesame cake and a bowl of coarse tea that pierces the throat are considered a good meal.

Jiang Wan finished the sesame cake in just a few bites and was immediately stuffed back into the carriage by the escort.
