Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

Chapter 42: You’re Safe

They tied up the bear and carried it up with a tree pole, two in front and two behind.

When one was tired, others would switch places. There were more than a dozen men here, but they still worked together to carry the blind bear back.

One of the men was slightly weaker, so he didn’t have to take turns carrying the bear. Instead, he carried Xue Wufu, who had sprained his foot and couldn’t walk.

According to Xue Dafu and the others, Xue Yan would lead the way with Jiang Yue.

The people they met along the way, no matter who they met, were all very surprised. They stared at the big bear that was being carried and unconsciously clicked their tongues. “Must be nice…”

Xue Wufu, who was being carried, pointed at the bear with one hand and himself with the other excitedly. “I hit him, I hit him.”

He was afraid that no one would know.

Jiang Yue was speechless.

Xue Yan put a finger to his lips, and no one could see the upturned corners of his mouth except for Jiang Yue, who was held by his other hand.

On the way back, Jiang Yue learned from Xue Dafu that Yu Hongyan had come back because she saw that her mother was only coughing a little. However, she found out that she and Xue Yan were not at home or in the village and panicked. Xue Wufu’s bow and arrows were also missing. Yu Hongyan understood the situation and rushed to the place to tell Xue Dafu and the others.

Xue Dafu and the others then called some people to go deep into the mountains to find them.

However, because Liu Guixia and the others were women, they were not allowed to come along.

When Jiang Yue and the rest were still walking on the fields, the anxious Liu Guixia, Li Hehua, and Yu Hongyan saw them at the entrance of the village. As Yu Hongyan was pregnant, Liu Guixia asked her to wait at the same place. Liu Guixia and Li Hehua came in a hurry.

......

Liu Guixia came up and hit Xue Wufu’s arm. “You d*mned child! D*mn child! Didn’t you promise us that you won’t go to the mountains to learn how to hunt? Didn’t you say that your stomach hurt? Ah!”

“My baby!”

Seeing Li Hehua striding towards her and picking her up like a loving mother who cherished her, Jiang Yue’s small body immediately tensed up as if she was facing a great enemy. It was fine to be held, but she was really not used to being held this way and felt quite repulsed.

She actually didn’t hate Li Hehua, but rather liked her sister-in-law. However, at times like this, she couldn’t control herself and was extremely uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was because the apocalypse was full of danger and she could die at any time, she didn’t like to leave the ground. Only when her feet were firmly on the ground could she feel that she was still alive.

Jiang Yue’s entire body was tense, and her hand was clenched. Xue Yan was holding her hand, so he immediately noticed it.

At first, he wanted to quietly move in front of her to block his sister-in-law, but when he thought of how ruthless she was when she killed the blind bear, he didn’t do anything. It was just like how she was always in danger in her previous life. She was so calm and composed, and now she was like this again... He felt that she was not rejecting something, but was just showing that she was insecure about something.

It seemed like a form of self-protection.

With this thought in mind, Xue Yan didn’t move to block her, but lowered his voice and comforted her, “Don’t worry, she won’t hurt you,” he added after a pause.

Jiang Yue immediately looked at Xue Yan in surprise.

Her heart trembled. This person actually went straight to the point.

Rather than saying that she was repulsed by being hugged, it was more like she was afraid that she would get hurt if she got too close.

How did he know that she was actually trying to protect herself?
