Chapter 24 Broth
This is meaty!

Jiang Yunjin's face turned pale instantly.

She suppressed the churning in her throat and quickly walked up to Boss Jiang.

He grabbed the other person's sleeve, faced the other person's surprised gaze, and put his index finger between his lips.

"Shh, Daddy, follow me."

Jiang Yunjin lowered his voice to a very low level, attracting the attention of Boss Jiang, and then led his men into the woods.

The father and daughter crouched down and walked in the yellow hay. In order not to attract attention, they walked to extremely remote places.

After stumbling a lot, I finally reached the center of the forest.

When they arrived at the place, they were both shocked.

I never thought that there was a thatched hut in this inconspicuous grove!

Not only that, there were slices of bacon drying on several wooden racks in front of the thatched house, and a lot of bones were piled up in the corners.

The bones are of different lengths.

Jiang Yunjin could tell at a glance that there were human bones in the corners!
Boss Jiang was also shocked, but he did not immediately recognize that they were human bones.

Instead, he looked at the thatched cottage in front of him with curiosity, and it could be called a paradise.

"This is a nice place. There are so many bacon! We won't have to worry about the winter." Boss Jiang said with emotion.

Jiang Yunjin, who was standing beside his legs, twitched his lips and gave him a look of pity.

I hope that when dad knows the truth, he will still feel this way.

In order to let Boss Jiang know the truth as soon as possible, Jiang Yunjin groped his way towards the smell of meat.

Soon, Boss Jiang also smelled the aroma of the meat, which was a little different from the meat he usually ate!
The two followed the scent and came to the back of the hut.

What came into view was a large iron pot with firewood burning underneath and hot mist floating above.

The aroma of meat they smelled just now came from the firewood in front of them.

Seeing this, Boss Jiang stopped moving forward.

"Girl, let's go back."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Boss Jiang's honest face, and as he looked around, the embarrassment on his face became more and more obvious.

When Jiang Yunjin saw his father's reaction, he instantly understood what he meant.

They probably thought that there were people living there, and if they came over rashly, it would definitely cause displeasure to others.

Just as she was anxiously trying to find an excuse to keep the person, footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance.

Upon seeing this, the father and daughter quickly crouched lower and hid in the weeds.

Peek out through the gaps in the weeds.

An elderly man came hobbling over, looked up and found that the person looked very familiar.

Jiang Yunjin looked carefully and soon discovered that the old man in front of him was the gatekeeper of the post station.
Is it...

An unspeakable thought arose in Jiang Yunjin's heart.

Before she could take a closer look, a big hand reached down from above her head and trapped her in darkness.

Here, Jiang Yunjin suddenly heard a strong heartbeat, the sound was fast and intense, as if something terrible had been discovered.

She felt enlightened.

This is discovered.

She finally found out, otherwise she would have to find a way to let her father find out.

The action didn't last long before Boss Jiang freed his daughter from his arms.

Without time to explain, he took his daughter back to the post station while no one was around.

"Snapped"

The back door was closed again.

Boss Jiang couldn't help but breathe heavily. When he thought about the praise he had just given to the aroma of the meat, his heart couldn't help but surge with emotion.

In order not to scare his daughter, Boss Jiang forced himself to hold back the discomfort.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Yunjin spoke in a low voice only after he saw that Boss Jiang had almost calmed down.

The little girl's voice was so soft that the nervous Boss Jiang let down his guard.

He stretched out his hand and pulled his daughter to his front, carefully admonishing her, "Don't tell anyone else about what you saw today! Not even your mother. Daddy will definitely protect you!" Jiang Yunjin pretended to be frightened and nodded timidly.

She never thought about telling her mother, as only her father could come.

The father and daughter stayed outside for a while before returning to the room where the Jiang family was.

At this moment, the Jiang family had just prepared dinner. Each person took a bowl and ate aside.

Boss Jiang didn't eat much because he was worried.

He ate a few bites quickly, whispered a few words to Mrs. Jiang, turned around and left the house.

Outside, night fell.

Boss Jiang came out of the house, looked around, and after finding nothing unusual, he went to the Pei family's resting place.

The post station is very large, but there is not much room to live in.

The Pei family cleaned up three rooms in total.

Mrs. Pei had one room, Young Master Pei had one room, and the other servants had one room.

When Boss Jiang arrived at the Pei family's resting place, Mrs. Pei had just finished dinner.

Boss Jiang entered the house and bowed to Madam Pei and Young Master Pei.

"Why are you so polite, benefactor? What is your purpose in coming here at this time?"

Mrs. Pei stood up, exchanged some pleasantries, and then asked.

Boss Jiang did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked at Young Master Pei with an embarrassed expression.

Mrs. Pei saw this and quickly said, "Sir, just speak directly. There is no need to be restrained."

With just one sentence, Boss Jiang lost all his worries and immediately told everyone what he saw in the forest.

"Mrs. Pei, this is absolutely true! You must be vigilant. If that person gives you food, you must not eat it!"

What Boss Jiang said is true.

After coming back, he wondered why an old man alone could slaughter so many people?

Or have help!
Or there is some vile medicine.

Whatever it is, be careful.

They are traveling with a lot of people on this trip, so who knows whether the other party will take action?

It is better to be cautious!

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Pei's gentle expression froze, and a look of deep thought emerged on her face.

After a long time, she thanked Boss Jiang with a grateful look on her face, and at the same time instructed the maid beside her to tell the people below to be more vigilant and to control their mouths!

The old woman agreed with a pale face, turned around and left in a hurry.

Mrs. Pei also expressed her gratitude to Boss Jiang.

The old woman who had left came back with an anxious look on her face.

"Madam, something's wrong!" The old woman took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued, "I just went to inform everyone, but I didn't expect to see the old man at the post station distributing meat soup to everyone!"

"what?"

Mrs. Pei stood up with a look of shock.

They all know exactly what broth is!
If the benefactor hadn't told me in advance, I'm afraid even they would...

Thinking of this, Madam Pei suppressed her nausea and asked in a trembling voice, "But are they..."

"No, madam! Fortunately, I arrived in time and sent the person away!" said the old woman with a look of fear on her face.

After hearing this, Mrs. Pei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I originally had some doubts about my benefactor, but now I don't dare to doubt it at all.

Boss Jiang, who was standing aside, frowned.

As soon as I thought of the Jiang family, I couldn't stay there any longer.

"Ma'am, I've said everything I need to say. I also need to tell my family!"

Boss Jiang left where the Pei family was and went straight to the room where the Jiang family was resting.

Just as I was about to get closer, I suddenly saw an old man coming out empty-handed.

Looking carefully through the moonlight, I suddenly realized that it was the gatekeeper of the post station!
Are all his family members...
