Chapter 1: Daddy, Hurry and Save Big Brother

Dong Yue Kingdom.

A light drizzle shrouded the entire An Yang County.

Inside the County Magistrate’s residence, Jiang Yuan and his wife, Madam Ye, sat before a redwood carved bed, their faces etched with worry as they watched their daughter on the bed.

On the bed, a delicate, jade-like little girl lay with her eyes tightly shut, a faint hint of unease furrowing her tender, beautiful brow.

Madam Ye sat by the bed, watching her still unconscious daughter, and asked anxiously:

“Husband, Chuer has been asleep for a whole day and night, why hasn’t she woken up yet?”

Jiang Yuan looked at his unconscious daughter on the bed, his heart filled withcompassion and love,

“The doctor said that Chuer only caught a cold and was exhausted. It’s normal for her to sleep longer. Wife, don’t worry too much.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Ye’s tears fell directly. “The doctor also said that Chuer’s pulse felt wiry, indicating she had been frightened.”

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her voice choked with emotion, “Chuer has always been held in the palm of our hands, never subjected to a single unkind look. I can’t imagine how scared and helpless our Chuer was at that time.”

“I don’t even dare to think about what Chuer experienced in Lian Shan Mountain Range? How did she appear alone at the foot of the outer mountains?”

Jiang Yuan put his arm around Madam Ye’s shoulder and comforted her softly, his eyes revealing an unprecedented determination and ruthlessness. He swore in his heart that if he didn’t eliminate such villains, he, Jiang Yuan, would not be worthy of being a human.

The Lian Shan Mountain Range mentioned by Madam Ye was located fifty *li* outside the city and had been a stronghold of bandits for many years.

Their power was not to be underestimated, and the mountain they occupied was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Not only was the terrain rugged, but it also had numerous traps, making it difficult for outsiders to approach.

The previous government officials had either feared or colluded with them, causing the nearby villagers and passing merchants to suffer unspeakably.

It wasn’t until three years ago, when Jiang Yuan came here, that he not only sought welfare for the people but also specifically arranged for soldiers to patrol outside the city. Although he couldn’t completely solve the problem, he did cause the bandits to restrain themselves somewhat.

But half a year ago, a tragic incident still occurred outside the city.

A passing wealthy merchant’s family was looted clean, and the scene was too horrible to look at, with no one left alive.

No, according to the clothes and items he examined, there might have been a boy of about ten years old who managed to escape by chance, but he had not yet been able to find his whereabouts.

Because of this tragedy, he could no longer wait for the delayed response from above and was preparing to use his own strength to launch a strong attack on Lian Shan Mountain Range when his young daughter was captured by the bandits as a means of coercion.

With no other choice, he had to exhaust his family fortune and contact the *jianghu* Shadow Gate, hoping they could secretly sneak into Lian Shan Mountain Range and rescue his daughter.

But the people from the Shadow Gate found his unconscious daughter at the foot of the mountains outside Lian Shan Mountain Range.

Jiang Yuan’s thoughts deepened. Who rescued Chuer? And why did they leave Chuer alone at the foot of the mountain?

Remembering the route map found on his daughter, which clearly marked all the traps in the entire Lian Shan Mountain Range.

Could it be… that the bandits did it on purpose, wanting to use a fake route map to lure him into a trap?

“Sister is awake, Father, Mother, sister is awake,” Jiang Jiuche, who was nine years old, was the first to notice Jiang Jiuchu slowly opening her eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Madam Ye quickly got up from the round stool, sat on the bed, and hugged her daughter, whose eyes were still a bit drowsy and dazed, and comforted her softly.

“Chuer, don’t be afraid, Mother is here, we’re home.”

Jiang Yuan also quickly came closer,gently stroked the little head resting in Madam Ye’s arms, “Chuer, don’t be afraid, Daddy will definitely catch all those bad people.”

“That’s right, sister, don’t be afraid. It’s all because your brother is no good. Brother will definitely protect you in the future and never let the bad guys catch you again.”

Jiang Jiuche’s handsome face was full of remorse, and he promised with red eyes.

Six-year-old Jiang Jiuchu looked at her parents and brother in front of the bed, her little face slightly dazed. She seemed to have had a very bad dream.

In the dream, she was captured by bandits and locked in a cellar. It was a handsome big brother who rescued her.

In the dream, there was a dark mountain forest and slippery, steep slopes, but as long as she got tired, the big brother would carry her on his back.

In the dream, the moon was so round and bright. She looked at the big brother who fell into the bottom of the pit next to the big pit and could clearly see that the big brother’s hand was bleeding a lot.

Big brother told her not to be afraid, saying that it would be dawn soon, and as long as she followed the path forward, she could go out to find someone to rescue him.

Jiang Jiuchu’s dazed eyes widened instantly, and she immediately stretched out her small hand, grabbed Jiang Yuan’s arm, and said anxiously:

“Daddy, hurry up and save Brother Fu. Brother Fu fell into a very deep pit.”

The couple listened to their daughter’s words in surprise and were a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Jiang Yuan looked at his daughter, whose eyes were red and crying anxiously, and quickly hugged her, his strong arms circling around her, and asked softly;

“Chuer, don’t worry, tell Daddy which big brother he is, where is he? Did he rescue you?”

Jiang Yuan’s warm and strong embrace gradually calmed Jiang Jiuchu down, and she clearly recounted what had happened.

After speaking, she said anxiously: “Brother Fu is very pitiful, he doesn’t have parents. Daddy, please help him bring him back. I promised Brother Fu, Daddy, hurry up.”

“Okay, okay, Daddy will go, Daddy will go.”

Jiang Yuan was a little unbelievable. He didn’t expect that the person who saved his daughter was actually a boy about the same age as Che’er.

He carried Jiang Jiuchu to the table, picked up the drawing on the table, and asked, “Did that Brother Fu give you this too?”

“Yes, yes, Brother Fu asked me to give it to you, saying it was something that could catch bad people. Daddy, hurry up and save Brother Fu. Brother Fu’s hand was bleeding so much.”

The anxious Jiang Jiuchu didn’t know that she had been in a coma for a whole day and night, and that in that big pit, there was no trace of the young boy.
