Chapter 52 A little friend
A fenced courtyard and a simple cabin in the forest.

"Uncle." Ah Shan shouted, and a group of people walked out of the house.

Yan Wan was startled. She didn't expect that there were so many people hiding in this hut?
"Let's go!" Ah Shan was the little kid just now, holding a small ax in his hand. He looked like a little man, with two small dimples when he smiled.

This reminded Yan Wan of her son Doudou. After being away for so long, she didn't know how Doudou was.
"Who is this?" The slightly older man looked at Yan Wan warily.

Ah Shan placed the ax in the corner and gave himself a thumbs up, "Those who ran down the mountain and were kidnapped by me are either bandits or people who escaped!"

"On the mountain?" The man immediately looked at Yan Wan warily.

Yan Wan quickly explained, "Let me state in advance that I am not a bandit!"

"Brother, look at her with thin arms and legs. She can't be a bandit. She was probably kidnapped to be the wife of a stronghold." The thinner man looked at Yan Wan with disgust on his face.

Yan Wan: "..."

What happened to the thin arms and legs?
She ran so fast...

"You're not a bandit?" The man's expression softened slightly, "Then how did you get up the mountain?"

Yan Wan shook his head, "When I woke up, I was in the mountain nest. I finally ran out. Who knew there were officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain? But I saw something was wrong with these officers and soldiers, so I didn't dare to come down until I met him!"

"Come in first!" the man said hurriedly.

Yan Wan doesn't have anywhere to go. It's safer here than the bandits' den, right?

After all, who does bad things and still has children?
"My name is Ashan, this is my uncle, Zhao Fan, and this is my uncle, Zhao Lin." Ashan explained, "We are from the neighboring village at the foot of the mountain. Over the years, the mountain bandits have caused trouble and have nowhere to stay, so we are here Here’s a hiding place.”

Zhao Fan was the thin man and poked Ashan's little head, "You can't move your legs when you see a beautiful woman and you say anything?"

"Okay, stop making trouble." Zhao Lin led Yan Wan down to the cellar.

It was very spacious underneath, and there were many people hiding there, including men, women, old and young. They all looked at Yan Wan suspiciously, with frightened expressions on their faces.

"Why do you all live down here?" Yan Wan was confused.

Ah Shan sighed, "The village has been occupied by the army, and the mountain has been occupied by bandits. Isn't there no place left? If you stay up there, the bandits will come down from time to time to search for food. They were all blown away."

"Officers and soldiers?" Yan Wan shook her head, "Shouldn't the officers and soldiers be supposed to suppress the bandits and then protect us common people?"

Zhao Fan sneered, "The world has changed now. If they don't eat, it's time to drink blood!"

"Where did these officers and soldiers come from?" Yan Wan asked.

Zhao Fan's face was full of disdain, "Of course he is from Fucheng, could it be that he jumped out of the cracks in the rocks?"

"Shouldn't the officers and soldiers in Fucheng be uniformly dressed?" Yan Wan whispered, "I look at the officers and soldiers in Yangcheng and the officers and soldiers in Beijing, they are all exactly the same."

But just now she looked at those officers and soldiers, some were wearing boots, some were official boots, and some were cloth shoes...

"Who are those people who were tied up on the mountain?" Yan Wan asked again.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and then stared at Yan Wan.

"Have you met the old village chief?" Zhao Lin asked hurriedly.

Yan Wan paused for a moment, "I don't know him, but when I was tied up in the ruined temple on the mountain, I saw someone being locked up. Is he someone you know? The old village chief?"

"It's all like this. From time to time, the bandits have to ask us to hand over food or prey." Zhao Fan said, "The old village chief and the elders of several nearby villages were all captured by them. They are facing difficulties. Same as us.”

Ah Shan tugged on Yan Wan's sleeve, "You came down from above, so you must be familiar with the road. Can you take us up to rescue people? Once we rescue people, we will leave here."

"I ran out of the cave, but there are snakes in the cave. I'm afraid it won't be convenient for you to go in." Yan Wan explained.

After hearing this, the hopes that everyone had finally raised gradually dissipated. "Do you have anything to eat?" Yan Wan asked in a low voice, "I haven't eaten for a long time and I'm very hungry."

Everyone: "..."

The cellar is cold and damp, but fortunately there are many people, so everyone can stay warm by squeezing in. You can go out during the day, but you have to stay here at night, because there are wild animals in the forest, and if a blind bear comes, it will be a real disaster.

"Where are you from?" Ah Shan and Yan Wan were sitting in the corner.

An old woman gave Yan Wan a tattered quilt so that she could wrap her up for the night.

"I'm from Yangcheng." Yan Wan didn't dare to mention the capital easily, "Is this Bazhou?"

Ah Shan nodded, "Yes! Where is Yangcheng?"

"You don't recognize this small place." Yan Wan said with a smile, "Why are you at the mountain pass?"

Ah Shan explained, "The old village chief is my grandfather. I have been waiting there every day. If I have a chance, I will go up the mountain and rescue my grandfather."

"Those two just now..."

Ah Shan smiled and said, "That's an uncle from the same clan, not my biological uncle. My grandfather is the only son of my father, but my father fell off a cliff when he was collecting medicine in the early years."

"What about your mother?" Yan Wan asked.

Ah Shan shook his head, "Dad said that my mother had a difficult childbirth and risked her life to give birth to me. Then she left, leaving us two behind. Who knew that my father had also left, and my grandfather was captured by bandits."

"Come on, give me a hug!"

Yan Wan was also a mother, so she felt sorry for the child who had lost her mother. She hugged Ashan gently, feeling uncomfortable in her heart.

She is not with Doudou. Who will hug Doudou when he feels sad?

"I have never seen my mother." Ah Shan said in a low voice.

Yan Wan let go of him, "Hey, I can't sleep. Tell me how those bandits came and what happened to the army?"

Ah Shan couldn't sleep either, so the two simply sat in the corner and talked.

The next morning, someone screamed.

"Ah Shan is missing."

"No, that woman is gone too!"

When the two brothers Zhao Fan and Zhao Lin saw something was wrong, they quickly went out to look for it.

Don’t know who kidnapped whom?
Ah Shan was very familiar with this area.

"Ever since grandpa disappeared, I've been walking around, visiting every corner, in order to rescue him one day." Ah Shan held a small ax and walked in the forest with Yan Wan.

Yan Wan held a hatchet in her hand and followed Ah Shan hurriedly.

Walking to the hillside, Ashan pointed to the village not far away, "Did you see it? That is our southern neighbor village. At that time, those officers and soldiers came from the opposite road, and then they lived in the name of suppressing bandits. Outside our village.”

There was smoke curling up from the woods outside the village.

"They set up tents there and stayed there. They ate and drank from the village. They also took our things. If we didn't give them to them, they would arrest us and send us to jail." Speaking of this, Ashan was so angry. His face turned blue, "It's almost the same as those bandits."

Yan Wan tightened the hatchet in her hand, "Let's go over and take a look, let's go!"

"Yeah!" Ashan nodded, "I'll take you around."
