Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

The expression on his face quickly returned to normal, and he immediately ordered his servants to take Yun Qi to Yun Kang's yard.

Soon, Yun Qi and his guards brought out five or six bundles of arrows and a dozen bows and arrows.

Yun Zhenchuan's eyes were as big as copper bells, and his face was full of surprise and disbelief.

My goodness, when did his good son hide so many weapons in the house?

He turned to look at Kong.

Kong shook her head pitifully. She didn’t know either!

However, now is not the time to pursue these issues.

Yun Si quickly distributed bows and arrows to the guards who were good at archery.

Finally, he looked at Madam Yun, who had been silent the whole time, and said respectfully, "Madam, please arrange a guest room for Miss Sisi to rest. Yun Si will be very grateful."

Madam Yun showed a dignified and decent smile, "It's just a small favor, there's no need to be polite, Young Master Yun, please follow me, Miss Sisi."

Liu Sisi glanced at Yun Si, then followed Mrs. Yun out of the reception room.

The servant quickly found a ladder. The bandits outside the door had stopped attacking and were sitting on the ground, discussing how to take over the Yun Mansion.

"Boss, this family's house is very big and the wall is too high. What should we do if we can't break in?"

"Brothers, go find a ladder and tung oil. Once it gets dark, we'll pour the oil inside and rush in during the chaos. No one will be able to escape."

The bandit leader had a ferocious look on his face, and his sinister and fierce eyes were like a demon crawling out of hell.

Yun Si and Yun Qi, who were lying on the wall, heard it clearly. They looked at each other and quietly came down.

All the archers are ready on the wall.

"Fire arrows!"

Suddenly, arrow shadows, accompanied by snowflakes falling from the sky, shot towards the bandits on the street.

Arrows rained down on the unsuspecting bandits, who fell to the ground one after another.

Immediately afterwards, screams were heard one after another on the street, which were extremely shrill.

When the uninjured people saw this horrifying scene, they were so frightened that they stepped back one after another, not even caring about the injured. They hid in the street corners and dared not go forward.

The two people who had just conspired to burn the Yun Mansion with tung oil fire were killed by Yun Si's arrow through the chest.

In the blink of an eye, the bandits outside the Yun Mansion were killed, injured, or escaped.

The Yun family won the first battle.

Yun Si and Yun Qi knew clearly that there were many bandits in the city, and the counterattack would become more fierce as time went on.

Taking advantage of the time when the bandits dispersed, Yun Si quickly discussed with Yun Zhenchuan and asked him to ask people to prepare tung oil and cloth strips.

The secret weapons given to them by the city lord cannot be used unless it is a critical moment.

The snow in the sky was getting heavier and heavier. The snowflakes blown by the strong wind were dancing in the air. In a blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were covered with white.

The air was filled with a cold breath. In the usually peaceful South, many people died overnight in this icy and snowy winter.

Civilians, without the protection of high walls, sought places to hide.

There are those who are hiding in the woodshed, the roof beams, the bed, the toilet...

If you were to be looted by the bandits who were constantly coming and going, you would have no chance of survival even if you handed over your life savings and begged for mercy.

The streets and alleys are full of bandits. If you want to escape, going out is simply walking into a trap.

In a small alley in Nanzhou Prefecture, there are low thatched houses on both sides. It is obvious that this is where poor people live and there is not much money to be made.

No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat. How could the bandits let it go easily?

Yu Suqin was forced to kneel on the ground with a knife at her neck by a ferocious bandit. She trembled as she watched the bandit go in and out, ransacking her house.

Ever since Yu Qiutou broke off contact with her, Yu Suqin has had a hard time in the past few years.

He was only in his early forties, but his hair was as white as dead grass, his eyes were bloodshot, and he no longer had the luster he once had. The skin on his cheeks was sunken, and covered with deep and shallow wrinkles.

Even Lin Chaohui, who was lying on the bed, was dragged into the yard and thrown on the ground.

Looking at the motionless Lin Zhaohui, Yu Suqin called out anxiously, "Hui'er, how are you?"

After a while, Lin Chaohui coughed violently and sat up with his hands.

The bandits only found a few decent clothes and a few copper coins in this poor family.

The bandit came out angrily and kicked Lin Chaohui.

"Tell me, where is the money hidden in the house?"

"Sir, there is really no money left at home. Please don't hit my son." Yu Suqin cried and begged.

The bandit looked at her and said, "Don't waste my time. I'll ask you again, where is the money hidden?"

Yu Suqin bit her lip tightly. That was the money she earned from working day and night sewing for others to buy food. She couldn't tell anyone.

The bandit snorted coldly, raised his knife and chopped off one of Lin Chaohui's hands in an instant.

Lin Chaohui had been bedridden for several years and was already weak. When the severe pain came, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

“Hui’er!” Yu Suqin screamed, “Tell me, I’m telling you, it’s in the moving brick on the wall behind the door as soon as you enter the room.”

A bandit immediately ran into the house and soon found a purse with a few pieces of loose silver in it.

Seeing this, Yu Suqin pushed the knife away from her neck and quickly stood up to grab it.

"You damned beasts, this is the money I saved with great difficulty, return it to me now."

Before her hand touched the purse, she felt a sudden sharp pain. She lowered her head and saw a bloody blade piercing her chest.

The sharp blade was suddenly pulled out, taking away Yu Suqin's energy and spirit at the same time. She fell to the ground, her hands and feet shaking uncontrollably, blood gushing out of her mouth.

The snowflakes dancing in the sky fell into her eyes, whose light was gradually fading, and melted in an instant.

The bandits divided the silver in the purses with a smile, and someone spat on Yu Suqin before leaving.

Someone cut Lin Chaohui's neck, and blood immediately spread on the snow like a gorgeous flower.

The lives of Yu Suqin and her son ended here.

All the past is gone like smoke!

The sky gradually darkened, and the entire Nanzhou Prefecture was filled with flames and thick smoke.

Some aristocratic families that failed to defend themselves were completely wiped out. After everything was looted, the bandits set fire to their houses. Even those who were lucky enough to hide could not escape death in such a big fire.

From the streets and the ruins of houses, heart-wrenching screams could be heard from time to time, which were breathtaking.

The rain and snow falling on the ground mixed with blood and were trampled into a muddy state by the fleeing civilians and the deadly bandits, emitting a disgusting stench.

The Yu family, the largest family in Nanzhou Prefecture, also successfully resisted the repeated attacks of the bandits.

When the bandits entered the city, Yu Xunmei summoned his clansmen and guards, as well as the troops left by Yu Shida, and quickly closed the main gate of the Yu family's home. He had people guard each person's small door and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.

The old lady brought her only beloved grandson to her own courtyard, and seeing that Yu Qiutao and her daughter looked pitiful, she had them taken over as well.

The entire Yu family’s backyard was in panic.

Aunt He was strolling in the garden holding her belly, with a soft white pillow visible under her clothes.

Seeing Yu Qiutou passing by with her maid holding her child, she hurriedly jumped out to block their way.

"Where are you going to play?"
