In the mushroom shed, not only was there no golden mushrooms, even the wooden shelves were gone. Inside the chicken coop, not a single chicken was left.

Suddenly, Jiang Sanlang thought of his little girl. Could it have been Baobao’s doing? But how is it possible?

He quietly climbed over the wall and saw his elder brothers, each carrying a large square table.

“What are you guys doing?” A puzzled Jiang Sanlang asked.

Jiang Dabang replied, “It’s raining, isn’t it? There’s no cover in the bamboo grove. We can’t let ourselves get drenched all night. These big tables can give us cover.”

Jiang Sanlang: …

Alright, his elder brother had a point.

The three brothers entered the bamboo forest as the sky was completely dark.

Walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow into the depths of the bamboo forest, a dim light was visible from a bamboo shed.

After putting down the big square table, Jiang Dabang crawled into the bamboo shed.

Inside the bamboo shed were only old man Jiang and his wife, Mrs. Jiang Liu, and Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan.

The two kids were curled up asleep in the bamboo bed. Old man Jiang and his wife were awake, waiting for their sons to return, by the light of a dim oil lamp.

“You’re back!” A surprised and joyful Mrs. Jiang Liu called out upon seeing her oldest son and looked outside, “Where are Erlang and Sanlang?”

“They’re here, too.” A weary Jiang Dabang replied, sitting on a thin bamboo branch.

Mrs. Jiang Liu handed him a steamed bun, “Eat something quickly.”

Jiang Dabang took a bite of the bun handed to him and then took the water gourd handed over by his mother and drank it all in one go.

No kidding, the gourds they had grown themselves came in extremely handy. Their benefits were clear in times like these.

“How are things outside?” Old man Jiang asked.

Jiang Dabang took a sip of tea and said, “There are quite a few bandits in the village. They’ve taken over and they’re not going to leave anytime soon.”

“Oh, what are we going to do?” Mrs. Jiang Liu frowned.

Jiang Dabang: “The government will eventually send people to get rid of the bandits. We just have to tide over this period.”

At this moment, Jiang Sanlang also crawled in.

“According to the villagers, these bandits don’t just occupy this place. Some of their teams have already gone towards the county town. I estimate that government officials won’t be able to attend to us for the time being.”

Old man Jiang was surprised, “How come there are so many bandits?”
