Chapter 399: Chapter 399

"Brother Qiancheng, Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu are in trouble. Gather some people and come with me to rescue them. They’ve fallen into a hunter’s trap."

"What?" Mu Qiancheng’s face changed, and he immediately instructed one of the sentries, saying, "Go find a few people and come with me to rescue them."

In no time, the sentry brought a few people over and followed Mu Qiancheng and Zhuoyue as they ran towards the mountains.

When they arrived at the scene where the Mu Family elders had the accident, they saw Jiang Xue helping Bai Yuhua bandage a wound, and Mu Siwu had also regained consciousness.

"Mom, Dad, are you alright?" Mu Qiancheng quickly ran up to his parents and asked with concern.

"Chengcheng, why did you come? We’re fine, thanks to Xue’er. Otherwise, the two of us old folks would still be in the trap."

Zhuoyue, who returned with Mu Qiancheng, was stunned by what he saw. After a while, he finally fixed his gaze on Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue alone managed to rescue Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu, which was simply unbelievable to him. If it were him, he might not have been able to do it.

Yet Jiang Xue, a woman, managed to do it. How on earth did she do it?

"Xue’er, thank you!" Mu Qiancheng, after hearing his mother’s words, turned to Jiang Xue with a look of gratitude. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

"Thank me for what? They’re my parents too. Isn’t it only right to save them?"

After speaking, Jiang Xue noticed that Mu Qiancheng had brought quite a few people, so she said, "But, Mom and Dad are injured, and they definitely can’t walk back. We need your people to help carry them back."

"No problem!" Mu Qiancheng nodded, then instructed the warrior beside him, who left with two others.

In no time, a few people returned with freshly cut wood and vines. Upon their return, everyone worked together to make two simple stretchers to carry the elders back.

Mu Qiancheng led the group, carrying the Mu Family elders in front, while Jiang Xue and Zhuoyue walked behind. Along the way, Zhuoyue couldn’t hold back anymore and asked, "Jiang Xue, how did you manage to rescue Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu?"

He had just checked; there weren’t even any ropes or vines by the trap, which was why it was so strange.

"Take a guess!" Jiang Xue glanced at Zhuoyue and said mysteriously. She wouldn’t tell Zhuoyue that she rescued them by herself.

Zhuoyue’s face turned sour. He glared at Jiang Xue and said no more. Indeed, he and Jiang Xue were destined to clash; it was unlikely they’d ever get along.

Seeing Zhuoyue upset, Jiang Xue didn’t mind. What she was worried about now was how to bring Little Reunion out of the space.

She had put the child in the space to save people earlier. However, Zhuoyue noticed she didn’t have the child with her; if the child suddenly appeared, it would be too shocking.

So, she needed to find a place and an excuse to bring the child out.

With this in mind, Jiang Xue deliberately slowed her pace a bit. She planned to find a secluded spot once they reached the village to bring the child out.

If asked by Mu Qiancheng or the in-laws, she would simply say the child was left at someone else’s home.

Zhuoyue watched Jiang Xue fall behind and felt puzzled, but he didn’t say anything, instead striding forward to catch up with Mu Qiancheng to chat.

Soon, the group entered the village. Since it was winter and almost lunchtime, there weren’t many people outside, and they only encountered one or two people.
