"Moon, that happened last year. So much time has passed, the bear has long forgotten. Third Brother is in danger now. I promise, as long as you come with me, I will risk my life to make sure nothing happens to you!"

Jiang Lao Er quickly finished speaking, trying to keep his tone calm, but you could still hear the anxiety in his voice. He thought that this would make Jiang Yue'er go with him.

Unfortunately, he's going to be disappointed!

Jiang Yue'er continued to make up various excuses.

"Second brother, you should go down the mountain and call for help. I really can't go; I'm pregnant!"

Jiang Lao Er felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, and he finally realized the truth.

Jiang Yue'er really didn't want to save the third brother!

His Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke with difficulty, "Yue'er, don't you want to go save Lao San?"

"Second Brother, how could you think of me like that?" Jiang Yue'er's eyes reddened as she spoke. "I'm just scared. I can barely walk now, let alone in the mountains."

Jiang Lao Er took a deep breath, trying to soften his tone.

"Then come with me!"

Jiang Yue'er clutched her prominently pregnant belly. "Second Brother, it's not that I don't want to go save Third Brother, but my belly is so big that I can't walk fast at all. I might even delay your rescue of Third Brother and become a burden to you!"

Jiang Lao Er closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Although he felt cold, Jiang Yue'er's words made sense.

"Okay, I'll go rescue them. You go down the mountain and call for help!"

Jiang Yue'er didn't refuse again, her tone tinged with worry, "Okay, I'll go right now. Second brother, you should hurry and save third brother!"

Jiang Lao Er took out the slingshot, hoe, and flashlight hidden in the cave and left.

Jiang Yue'er's eyes were filled with indifference as she watched Jiang Lao Er leave.

She sat in the cave for a while, then looked at her watch. Seeing that half an hour had passed, she slowly walked out of the cave, ready to go down the mountain to call for help.

On the tree

As Jiang Laosan listened to the tree trunk making a cracking sound as it succumbed to its weight, he tried his best to calm himself down.

By the moonlight, he looked around.

Just when he was about to despair, he discovered that it was pitch black about ten meters to his right.

Having walked at night for many years, he knew that it should be a hillside, but he didn't know what the situation was like there.

Before he could think any further, the tree cracked again, and then his body began to tilt, the tree about to break.

His eyes were sharp. Just as the tree crashed down, he seized the opportunity and jumped down. Because it was too dark, he couldn't see what was happening below.

His chest slammed directly into the rock, the violent impact nearly causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Boom!"

The tree snapped completely, raising a cloud of dust. The bear's eyes were squinted by the dust, and it kept sneezing.

Despite the excruciating pain in his chest, Jiang Laosan scrambled to his feet and ran desperately to the right.

Sure enough, there was a steep hillside ahead, about seventy or eighty meters high, but to get rid of the bear completely, he could only roll down the hillside.

Rolling down from that height won't kill you, but it's highly likely you'll suffer broken bones and injuries.

He was hesitating whether to jump or not, but the heavy footsteps behind him sounded like a death knell, leaving him no time to think.

He found a spot with dense grass, covered his head with his hands, and rolled down the hillside without hesitation.

The bear saw its prey fall down the hillside. It roared irritably a few times on the hillside, tested the slope with its paws, and finding it dangerous, it circled around a few times before turning and leaving.

Down the hillside, Jiang Laosan was covered in blood and had lost consciousness due to the violent impact.

Deep in the mountains, the smell of blood will attract countless covetous wild beasts!

Jiang Lao Er searched in the mountains for a long time and finally found the marks left by the bear. He followed the marks, but before he could get close, he heard something collapse with a loud crash.

Without thinking, he immediately ran towards the source of the sound.

Before he could get close, he saw a tall, dark figure approaching from afar.

He immediately found a place to hide.

Only after the bear slowly left did he emerge in utter terror.

Seeing the broken tree lying on the ground and the surrounding mess, his legs went weak and he almost couldn't stand up.

He shone the flashlight around and found no bloodstains, which relieved him considerably.

He looked around and came to the hillside. He saw that a large patch of wild grass had been bent over by the weight of the grass, and his face immediately lit up with a look of surprise.

Following the bend in the wild grass, he saw that lying on the hillside was none other than Jiang Laosan.

"The third son?"

Jiang Laosan remained unconscious and showed no signs of movement.

Fearing that he might attract other wild animals, Jiang Lao Er dared not make a sound.

He held the flashlight in his mouth, tucked the wood-chopping knife into his waistband, and slowly descended the hillside.

His ankle was so swollen it was unbearable to look at, but he dared not stop. His mind was entirely on Jiang Laosan down the hillside, and he couldn't feel the pain at all.

Having finally reached the bottom, he quickly ran over and saw Jiang Laosan lying on the ground covered in blood, with a cave-in in his chest.

He shakily placed his hand on Jiang Laosan's nose and felt that he was still breathing. He immediately sat down on the ground, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.

"Third brother, third brother?"

Jiang Lao San was unconscious, so Jiang Lao Er had no choice but to carry him on his back and prepare to leave.

But when he stood up, a green light appeared opposite him.

He stood frozen in place, the flashlight clattering to the ground. His mind had completely stopped thinking, and his body didn't even know how to react.

His mouth moved slightly, but no sound came out of his throat.

Jiang Laosan, who was on his back, slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the current situation, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

"Second brother, put me down!"

Jiang Lao Er gripped Jiang Lao San's legs tightly, "No!"

"If you don't put me down, we'll both die here!"

Jiang Lao Er said, trembling all over, "My foot is injured, I can't run!"

His legs were already too heavy to bear, and if he hadn't clung to his will, he would have collapsed long ago.

As the wolf pack closed in on them, despair filled the brothers' eyes.

The more desperate the moment, the clearer Jiang Laosan's mind became.

"Second Brother, do you think Yue'er really didn't know, or was it just a coincidence?"

Jiang Lao Er's eyes were glazed over. "Perhaps it's just a coincidence!"

In fact, the two brothers already knew the answer in their hearts, but they were unwilling to believe that their sister, whom they had doted on since childhood, would want to harm them.

When did Jiang Yue'er's premonition go wrong?

She said that the good things are usually prey that is not very dangerous, or valuable medicinal materials such as ginseng and lingzhi.

Jiang Laosan felt a tightness in his throat. What kind of good thing was a bear?

forget it!

Even if the two of them die here, there are still the eldest brother and the fourth brother. I think our parents will pull themselves together!

I just hope that Mother will stop believing Jiang Yue'er!

Just as the two were despairing and waiting to die, the sound of a gong being struck suddenly came from the hillside.

Several people carrying hoes appeared on the hillside.

Just as the wolves were baring their teeth and preparing to attack, for some unknown reason, they suddenly changed direction and charged towards a certain location like madmen.
