A lucky koi fish was found while escaping from famine, and the whole family became prosperous

Chapter 25 Vulnerable

Boss Jiang walked forward quickly.

The old man had already disappeared into the darkness and his figure could no longer be seen.

His heart sank instantly and he quickly pushed the door open.

What came into view were the Jiang family members with heavy expressions.

Boss Jiang was stunned for a moment.

"Mom, what happened?"

Old Mrs. Jiang had a heavy face. After hearing her eldest son's voice, she just glanced at him indifferently, her face full of anger.

Boss Jiang didn't know what was going on and wanted to ask a few more questions, but was pulled aside by Boss Jiang No. 2 who stood up in time.

He lowered his voice and said to his eldest brother: "Don't ask, mother is still angry!"

"What happened?" Boss Jiang asked puzzledly.

"Alas, it's all the fault of the third son's wife! I didn't notice her when I was eating just now, and she actually ate all the food of the gatekeeper of the post station! I heard that it was a pot of meat soup! Just now, the old man came to my mother to ask for compensation. After much persuasion, he paid some money and let it go!"

When Jiang Lao Er talked about the third brother's wife, his face was full of sighs and he was speechless about Xu's behavior.

The two brothers exchanged a few words before going their separate ways.

Boss Jiang, who understood the whole story, did not tell the old lady what was wrong with the broth in time.

He was afraid that he would scare his mother and prevent her from sleeping.

He turned around and came to Mrs. Jiang.

The couple exchanged a few words and then looked at their daughter and two sons.

"You guys should stay with your mother to sleep first. There is dry firewood laid out in the corner over there."

Boss Jiang coaxed his wife and children to rest, then turned around and called his younger brothers out.

Jiang Yunjin, who was being coaxed to sleep, watched his father and uncles leave with a dazed look in his eyes.

It looks like Daddy is going to tell the uncles about the woods out back.

only…

Daddy seems to have forgotten to call Uncle San!
Jiang Yunjin couldn't resist the sleepiness, so he tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep.

Lying next to her were her two brothers.

That night.

Jiang Lao Er and Jiang Lao Wu were taking over shifts with Jiang Lao Da and his two companions.

The first half of the night that Jiang Laoer was on duty was peaceful and uneventful.

After the brothers exchanged glances, the second brother took the fifth brother back to their room to rest.

At that time, Boss Jiang and the fourth brother were squatting in the dark, staring carefully at the surroundings, not missing any movement.

The fourth brother, who was squatting on the side, yawned quietly.

I have no objection to my eldest brother's insistence on keeping watch all night, the only thing I find incredible is that there is something wrong with this post station?

He looked around and saw the bright moon hanging on the branches, with a hazy and poetic beauty.

Just when the two of them were in different states of mind, a strange noise was heard not far away.

The two brothers became alert instantly.

Just as Jiang Lao Si was about to stand up, he was pushed back by Jiang Lao Da.

"Shh!" Boss Jiang lowered his voice and hushed at the fourth brother.

The two looked up at the source of the sound.

All I saw was an old figure sneaking out from the darkness.

Through the moonlight, it was clear that the person coming was the old man guarding the post station.

The old man took two steps, looked back three times, and groped his way to the outside of the room where the Jiang family was resting.

Seeing this, Boss Jiang became tense and kept paying attention to the old man's actions.

Jiang Laosi on the side wanted to rush up immediately.

But arresting someone requires dirty tricks! Rushing forward at this moment would only alert the enemy.

The two men kept their eyes on the old man, and saw him take out a dagger and a small straight barrel from his arms.

The small straight cylinder was poked into the paper window. The old man took a puff of air and blew the small straight cylinder towards the house.

When Boss Jiang saw this, he picked up a stone at his feet and threw it at the old man's face.

There was a "pop" sound, and the small straight tube in the old man's hand fell to the ground instantly.

The old man seemed to be frightened, and his whole body froze in place for an instant. It took him a moment to calm down, and he quickly picked up the small straight tube that had fallen at his feet.

After waiting for a long time and hearing no sound, the old man became bolder again.

This time he simply held the knife and pushed the door open.

Seeing this, Boss Jiang was sure that the old man in front of him did not have any gang.

"Fourth Brother, attack from both sides and outflanking them!"

The two brothers split up and quietly walked behind the old man. Before the old man could react, they chopped him down with a knife.

The man went limp instantly and fell to the ground with a thump.

This was the first time Jiang Laosi did this, and after the old man fell to the ground, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Brother, what should we do with this person?"

"Go get the bull rope!"

The cow rope is a very tough rope. Combined with Boss Jiang's unique knotting technique, no matter how powerful the old man is, he cannot escape.

Boss Jiang threw the old man into the dark, and the two brothers surrounded him and waited for dawn.

All night without incident.

The Jiang family slept very soundly that night.

This was the most peaceful and comfortable night of sleep they had had since they fled the famine.

However, the Jiang family was unaware of what happened last night.

After getting dressed, Jiang Yunjin couldn't wait to find Boss Jiang.

She wasn't sure what happened last night would happen.

He left the room and ran straight to the yard, looking everywhere, but there was no sign of Boss Jiang.

Just when Jiang Yunjin was about to go to the backyard, he happened to see Jiang Lao Da and Jiang Lao Si walking out from the Pei family's resting place.

Seeing the two of them, she instantly guessed something.

It seems that something happened last night.

"Daddy!"

When Jiang Yunjin saw his father coming, he flapped his short legs and ran happily into Boss Jiang's arms.

Boss Jiang squatted down, caught the soft and sticky girl, and asked casually: "Have you had breakfast?"

He raised his hand and smoothed his daughter's messy hair.

"No, mother and second aunt are cooking!" Jiang Yunjin shook his little head, still thinking about the bad guy, and hurriedly asked: "Dad, have the bad guys been caught?"

Boss Jiang smiled and nodded, "Let's go back and talk about it in detail."

The three of them returned to the room where the Jiang family was temporarily staying.

As soon as he entered the house, Boss Jiang told the news conveyed by the Pei family.

"After breakfast, pack up your things and we'll set off on time at noon."

The Pei family could no longer stay here.

Faced with such a disgusting thing, who can have the mood to stay?
As soon as he finished speaking, the first person to go out and pack up the gifts was the third roommate.

Xu's face turned pale, still because she was angry about her secretly drinking the broth yesterday.

She felt that she and the third brother were no longer a couple, so why did Old Lady Jiang still scold her?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt.

The sound of him packing things became more and more like throwing and hitting things. Before leaving, he snorted coldly at Old Mrs. Jiang.

Xu's actions made Jiang Lao San's face completely dark.

He apologized to my mother, then went out with a dark face to scold Xu.

As soon as the person leaves.

Boss Jiang then told everyone what happened last night, including what the old man had done.

The Jiang family, in particular, became sick after hearing what kind of broth Xu drank.

Even when Xu came in to get something, the Jiang family members didn't dare look her in the eye, for fear of vomiting in front of her.

However, Xu mistook this phenomenon as a sign that the Jiang family was guilty!
She knew that the Jiang family must be jealous of her drinking the broth!
Xu was holding her luggage, her eyes rolling around. She took advantage of the chaos at the Jiang family to pack up her things, then turned around and ran towards the kitchen of the inn.
