In the book, I was fed by my sister

Li Dongya bent down and carefully pulled out a basket of sweet potatoes from under the bed.

When I opened the lid of the basket, I saw plump sweet potatoes lying inside.

Li Dongya picked up a sweet potato and showed it to Song Li:

"Look, there are several sweet potatoes under one vine. If we can grow sweet potatoes like this in the future, we will save a lot of food. But I don't know how to grow this thing. I ate one and didn't find that there were no seeds in it."

Song Li took the sweet potato and looked at it carefully. After a while, the sweet potato in her hand began to sprout and send out tender green vines.

Li Dongya looked at this scene and couldn't believe his eyes.

He opened his mouth wide and couldn't say anything for a long time.

A sweet potato went through its life in Song Li's hands in an instant, and now a bunch of sweet potatoes was in her hand.

"Life is very tenacious. After the Chinese New Year, when the weather gradually warms up, you bury the seed potatoes in the soil and wait for them to sprout. Then you cut the seedlings and bury them in the soil."

Li Dongya nodded blankly. This was not some fox fairy at all; this was simply my land goddess!

The next morning, as soon as the sky turned pale, Su Xiaoxiao hurried to Song Ran's house.

She didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about the many possible outcomes, each one worse than the last. The worry in her heart was like a dark cloud that made her breathless.

"What! Leave?" Song Ran couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock when he heard Su Xiaoxiao's suggestion.

I originally thought this was just a small disturbance that would pass quickly, but I didn't expect things to be so serious.

Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner panic. After thinking for a moment, she slowly spoke:

"I'm afraid they will attack Feng County in the next two days. After all, we lost more than 20 officers and soldiers, and the general who died among them looked like an important figure. When they come looking for us, I'm afraid our entire village will be held accountable."

Song Li was chewing a steamed bun: Sister Xiaoxiao doesn’t know yet that the group of people had already raided last night. It will probably take less than two days, or at the latest this afternoon, to find them back.

Seeing that Song Ran remained silent, Su Xiaoxiao continued:

"You also saw yesterday that although those officers and soldiers found medicinal materials in Doctor Qin's home, it is impossible for a doctor's home to be short of medicine. These officers and soldiers wanted to kill people without asking for the reason. Doctor Qin just said an offensive word, and he blamed everyone in the scene."

It's an atrocity!

Thinking of the previous County Magistrate Yang, he was a clear-minded person.

Song Ran was silent for a moment, knowing that what Su Xiaoxiao said was true, and he couldn't help but think about possible things in the future.

He raised his head, looked into Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, and asked, "But where should we hide? Where can we hide?"

Su Xiaoxiao held Song Ran's hand tightly and said firmly, "Go south. It's warmer there and we can go out to sea."

She was afraid that the war would become more and more chaotic, but fortunately there was enough food in the space.

As long as you are alive, you can rebuild your home anywhere.

Song Ran couldn't help but feel a little shaken after hearing what Su Xiaoxiao said. She knew that Su Xiaoxiao was a person with drive and ideas, but she was more cautious and would think before taking a step. Worried, she said:

"There is snow on the road now. We don't know what the situation is like in the south. How long will it take us to walk on this snowy road? Can we finish the walk?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "If all else fails, let's hide in the mountains."

Song Ran shook his head. "There is snow on the mountain now, and the road is not easy to walk on. If we encounter heavy snow again, it will be difficult. Let me think about it... That's right! We can hide in the brick kiln."

"Brick kiln?" Su Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully. She knew nothing about this place. "How many people can it hold?"

"There are two brick kilns near the village. One belongs to Mr. Jia. Although it is relatively small, it should be able to accommodate 20 to 30 people. The other is the government kiln, which is quite large. The kiln is not fired in winter, and the city is so chaotic, so I guess no one is guarding it."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.

"We learned that we should meet the villagers." Song Ran suggested, "It will be safer if we act together."

"Okay, let's go find the village chief. It's better for him to initiate this matter. Everyone will listen to him more."

Before they reached the hall, they saw Li Wanshu from afar. Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly shouted, "Village Chief! We are looking for you for something!"

Li Wanshu heard the voice, turned around, and saw that it was Song Ran and Su Xiaoxiao, so he waved to them to come over. He said solemnly: "Shh! Don't speak loudly, something is wrong."

The three of them walked over, and Li Wanshu whispered, "I noticed something was wrong inside the hall."

"What's wrong?" Song Ran asked.

Li Wanshu frowned and said, "This morning, Dongya, that girl, eh? Where's Dongya?"

Dongya, who had just been following him, lost focus and disappeared. He did not bother to look for anyone and continued:

"Dongya came to my house and said that the rebels attacked Fengxian last night."

"What!" Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise. This was much faster than she had imagined.

She thought the rebels would take a short break before launching an attack, but she didn't expect them to be so decisive.

Song Li was observing silently at the side. Her eyes fell on a house not far away. In the corner of the wall outside the house, a seed sprouted.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made her heart tighten.

She planned to let Li Dongya inform the village chief to cause chaos in the village so that she could take the opportunity to slip out and prevent Huang's troops from returning to the village.

The current situation seems to be much more complicated than she expected, and the group of people who stayed behind actually took action directly.

Li Wanshu continued: "Also, something seems to have happened in the hall."

"Village Chief, did you see anything?"

Li Wanshu shook his head and said, "When Dongya came to tell me, I wanted to come to the hall to ask what was going on. But before I got close, I heard screams from inside. The door was closed, and I didn't dare to go in rashly."

At this time, Li Dongya ran over breathlessly, his face full of anxiety: "Oh no! The group of people from yesterday blocked us from leaving the village and wouldn't let us out!"

This was what Song Li told her last night, to make everyone alert and realize that the entire village was controlled by Huang Jun and his men.

Li Wanshu's expression became serious: "Not good! I'm afraid they want to use our village as a base."

Li Dongya continued, "The soldiers from Grand Duke Yaolin's family and those who stayed in the village yesterday confronted each other at the exit of the village!"

Su Xiaoxiao made a decision immediately: "Let's go to the village entrance to check the situation. Village chief, go and call the villagers."

Li Wanshu nodded in agreement: "Okay! If you meet people from the village on the way, remember to tell them not to disturb the temple. Go back and take your hoes and sickles with you, just in case."

Su Xiaoxiao acted quickly. She turned to Song Ran and said, "I'll ask the boys from the Lin family to go to the village entrance to check the situation. You go back and get the tools you need. Don't rush forward before we get here."

Song Ran nodded and quickly ran back home. She picked up the sickle and hoe, and told her younger sister Song Li, "Little darling, stay home and don't run around. If things get chaotic later, I'm afraid you'll get hurt."

Song Li shook her head: "Sister, I want to go. I will stand far away and watch. If things get chaotic, I will run away."

Song Ran sighed helplessly: "Okay, then just follow me and don't run around."

When the two men arrived at the village entrance, they saw at least seven or eight people from yesterday's group guarding the entrance. They pinned Li Yaolin's two sons and older grandson to the ground.

Several women were held with their hands behind their backs and tied up with hemp ropes.

Song Ran left his little sister under the tree and told her, "Xiaoguai, you can only stay here. If a bad guy runs towards you, run into the field. Got it?"

After the explanation, Song Ran stepped forward and shouted, "Let go!"

When several Huang soldiers saw that the person coming was a young lady, they exchanged glances with lustful looks in their eyes.

Although Military Advisor You had instructed that women should not be touched now, and no actions such as burning, killing, and looting should be carried out.

But these people rushed in front of them, especially the young wives in front of them, with their hands tied and twisting around.

I'm really angry!

The leader chuckled and said, "Little girl, don't be unreasonable."

"Bah! You shameless people, why are you stopping us from leaving the village? Yesterday your leader said that it was just a temporary disturbance. We even treated you warmly last night and prepared hot soup and pancakes. Now you have kidnapped people from our village. What do you want to do?"

The other party did not respond, but just let out a mocking laugh, and then walked straight towards Song Ran.
