Two hours later, Wen Fu and several villagers returned empty-handed, not only failing to find the horses and mules but also unable to locate the pigs and cows the Jiang Family villagers had taken to the forest.
The old man Jiang sighed, but quickly stopped dwelling on it.
As long as the people survived, that was all that mattered. The rest were just material things that could be bought with money in the future.
It was not until evening that everyone in the cave was rescued.
Jiang Village's inhabitants gradually returned to the village.
Uncle Jiang knew that his younger brother's family also would return to the village, he sighs with regret, teary-eyed, saying goodbye to his younger brother.
But upon entering the village, they found the entire village had been burned down and there wasn't a single intact house.
The villagers sat by the ruins sobbing heavily. Some started criticizing Jiang Sanlang's family.
"If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have suffered this disaster."
