The ancestor is here, she is here with space

"What happened?" Lin Congyun's heart suddenly tightened and he asked quickly.

Fang Deyong quickly responded: "When we entered the deep forest, we didn't expect someone to follow us in."

Lin Congyun's expression suddenly became serious. "Why are you so careless?"

"It was the trees in the deep forest that blocked our sight. We didn't notice anyone behind us." Fang Deyong looked regretful. "Besides, there was only one person following us as a mark. By the time we became alert, those people had already sneaked into the village without anyone noticing."

Lin Congyun's heart suddenly sank, and he asked anxiously, "How are your second sister-in-law, Xin Lei, and Seventh Aunt now? Are they in danger?"

"Second sister-in-law and Lei'er are fine, but several villagers were injured. Our people also suffered some minor injuries while protecting the villagers." Fang Deyong answered truthfully.

Lin Congyun frowned and asked, "How are they doing now? Why did you return alone?"

"Seventh Aunt and the others are safe for now. I will come back alone to report the news first."

After hearing this, Lin Congyun breathed a sigh of relief. "Safe for the time being? Then where are they hiding now?"

"They are hiding in a cave outside the village. The cave is very hidden and difficult to be discovered. I have arranged for people to guard the cave entrance to ensure their safety."

At this time, Zeng Xiaoyu also heard the noise and came over. She poured a glass of water for Fang Deyong and handed it to him, "Third brother, drink some water first."

Fang Deyong took the water and drank it all, then continued, "In the cave where Qi Gu and the others hid, there was a path leading to the outside of the deep forest. When I came out of the path, I happened to see a dozen horses outside. I guess those who entered the village parked there."

Hearing this, Lin Congyun frowned and turned to look at the horse that Fang Deyong rode back.

"This horse? Did you ride it back?"

"Yes, it's the horse I rode back. What's wrong with it?" Fang Deyong looked at Lin Congyun in confusion.

Lin Congyun approached the horse and looked up at it. Suddenly, he smelled something. "Old Third, come and smell it. What's the smell on this horse?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Deyong walked to the side of the horse, lowered his head and smelled it carefully. There was indeed a special smell on the horse that went straight to his mouth and nose.

Fang Deyong turned his head in disbelief and looked at Lin Congyun: "Mom, this smell is wrong, horses shouldn't have this smell, right?"

Lin Congyun's face was solemn. "Butler, you've traveled a lot, have you ever smelled this kind of smell?"

Wu Jinjie walked to the side of the horse, lowered his head and sniffed carefully, his eyes suddenly narrowed, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while he spoke: "Ancestor, this smell is a bit like..."

Lin Congyun quickly asked: "Like what?"

Wu Jinjie continued, "This smell is a bit like what people outside the Great Wall use when hunting, and they use it on prey to track its location."

"People from outside the Great Wall? Could it be that those who entered the village were from outside the Great Wall?"

Fang Deyong shook his head. "Mom, I met those people face to face. They don't look like people from outside the Great Wall."

Lin Congyun pondered for a moment, then said, "It looks like Nanyuan Village is not safe anymore."

"What should we do? Mom, where should we go next?" Hearing this, Zeng Xiaoyu became a little anxious.

Lin Congyun looked around. The house he had just cleaned had not even been occupied for one night and was now facing a crisis again.

"Let's go and meet up with the second son's wife first." Lin Congyun couldn't think of where to go for the moment, so he could only find a place first.

Then he asked Wu Jinjie to prepare some kerosene and fire starters.

"Ancestor, are you preparing..." Wu Jinjie asked uncertainly.

Lin Congyun nodded and said, "I want to burn this place down. Since we can't live here, we can't leave anything for those people."

Fang Deyong and Wu Jinjie were a little confused when they heard Lin Congyun's decision. This place was already deserted, so why bother with this?

The reason why Lin Congyun made such a decision was because she had already decided to store all the houses in Nanyuan Village into the space. If she found another place to settle down, she could just take out the house and live in it.

Seeing Wu Jinjie still standing there in a daze, Lin Congyun urged him, "Housekeeper, hurry up. If those people come looking for us, it will be difficult for us to escape."

Although Lin Congyun has forty or fifty people on his side, he doesn't know how many people there are on the other side. Besides, there are still some wounded in their team. If they are not completely sure, they should not engage in a head-on confrontation.

"Okay, I'll prepare it right away." Wu Jinjie didn't ask any more questions, but listened to Lin Congyun and started preparing.

In a short while, kerosene and other things were prepared.

Lin Congyun asked Fang Deyong to take his men away first, while she stayed behind to set the fire.

When everyone heard this, they all disagreed. How could they leave the ancestor here alone?

"Mom, you go first. Leave the arson to my son and Butler Wu."

"Yes, this old servant and the Third Master will stay here to set the fire. You, old ancestor, should leave first." Wu Jinjie followed.

Lin Congyun glanced at them and knew that they were concerned about her. However, if she wanted to put the house into the space and they burned it down, wouldn’t her plan be ruined?

"Third brother, you are the only one who knows the way, how can you stay?" Lin Congyun glanced at Wu Jinjie again, "Just let the housekeeper stay, the rest of you hurry up and leave."

"But……"

Fang Deyong was still thinking about what to say, but Lin Congyun looked at them seriously and said, "If I tell you to leave, leave now. If you stay any longer, you will be in more danger."

Seeing Lin Congyun's firm attitude, Fang Deyong had to take the others away first.

Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Congyun ordered Wu Jinjie to go to the houses that were about to collapse and were not habitable at all.

After Wu Jinjie walked away, Lin Congyun began to put the house into the space.

When they collected a house, they poured kerosene on the ground. Soon all the houses that could be collected were packed into the space.

In order to prevent Wu Jinjie from noticing anything, he immediately ignited the kerosene with a fire starter.

Wu Jinjie's actions were not as quick as Lin Congyun's. By the time Lin Congyun found him, there were still two or three rooms that had not been filled with kerosene.

"Ancestor, have you poured kerosene on all the houses?" Wu Jinjie asked when he saw Lin Congyun coming.

Lin Congyun nodded and said, "Butler, hurry up. With such a big fire, if those people follow us, they will definitely find us."

Wu Jinjie nodded, quickened his movements, and the fire soon started.

"Okay, let's go." Lin Congyun urged Wu Jinjie.
