Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Night falls, and the stars become dim.

The sound of dogs barking in the village could be heard one after another, and Roaring Sky Dog also ran out to help.

Its wolf howl scared the sneak attacking bandits.

The village was also filled with the cries of women and children.

Knowing that they had alarmed everyone, the bandits no longer acted quietly, but instead acted openly.

Some of them rode on horses, holding torches, and shouted proudly to the people in the village.

It's as if they treat everyone as their own.

The firelight illuminated their hideous faces and greedy eyes.

Their target was the village's food, property, and possible captives, to be exchanged for ransom or sold as slaves.

Xia Shengsheng tried to organize resistance amid the panic of the villagers, but there were only Xia Shengsheng and Xia Yi and a few others.

The rest of the people were no match for the bandits at all.

The villagers had simple weapons and insufficient training, and were clearly unable to cope with these bandits who had been living on the edge of a knife all year round.

"Xia Yi, take people to look after the elderly and children first."

"Yes!"

The elderly and children were hastily taken to secluded places in the village to hide, while the young and strong men took up farm tools to fight.

Village chief Ma has never left, he is bound to stand together with the villagers.

The bandits wreaked havoc in the village and even set it on fire.

The flames spread quickly, engulfing the simple hut.

They pounced on livestock and granaries like hungry wolves, looting everything they could carry away.

There are too many people in the village, and Xia Shengsheng cannot take care of everyone. He can only try his best to fight the enemy, hoping to drive these bandits out of Kaoshan Village as soon as possible.

In this chaos, countless people were injured.

Just when Xia Shengsheng was about to be exhausted, an arrow flew through the air.

The shot hit a bandit on horseback directly between the eyebrows.

As the bandit fell to the ground, a man wearing armor, holding a spear, with determination in his eyes, joined the battle with dozens of his subordinates.

It was obvious that the bandits were no match for them.

The battle was finally resolved quickly.

When everyone reacted, they saw clearly that the armored man leading the group was none other than Han Liehu who had disappeared for several months.

"Xia Shengsheng, how is Doctor Zhao?"

At this time, Han Liehu was sitting on a tall warhorse, making people feel both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Nothing!" Xia Shengsheng only answered with this sentence and didn't know what else to say!

After hearing this, Han the Hunter just nodded, turned around and told the people behind him to deal with these bandits as soon as possible and hand them over to the nearest government office.

He went ahead.

"Village Chief Ma, Xia Shengsheng, the world is in chaos, make preparations early."

He only left these words before leaving. Before anyone could react, even Han Liehu's back could not be seen in the dark night.

Xia Shengsheng looked at the people left behind by Han the Hunter, and gathered all the bodies of the bandits and the bandits who were captured alive together.

One of them walked towards Village Chief Ma.

"You are the village chief, right? Please come with us to the government office to explain the situation."

"Ah? Okay, okay!"

Village chief Ma’s eldest son followed the village chief and the couple to the yamen.

The rest of the people cleaned up the mess.

Many people in the village were injured.

Xia Shengsheng hurried back to call Doctor Zhao.

I went home and checked my children, and they were all fine.

I brought some medicine for treating external injuries and asked everyone to go and help the villagers.

"Xiao Xia, how are you guys? Are you all right?"

Craftsman Chen and his daughter also came out from the workshop and saw Xia Shengsheng and asked anxiously.

"We are all fine. How are you and your daughter? Where's Yaoyao? Was she scared?"

"I'm glad you're okay. We're fine too. Thanks to you for asking Xiaowu to come and help us. We were really scared just now."

"Yes, sister-in-law, we are fine!"

"Well, there are a lot of injured people in the village, let's go over and help."

Xia Shengsheng brought his entire family to help the villagers.

Almost everyone was injured in some way, and some were seriously injured, with their skin torn and flesh exposed by the bandits' knives.

Xia Shengsheng and Doctor Zhao worked together to suture the wounds of those who were seriously injured.

Others helped apply medicine.

Some children were so frightened that they couldn't speak.

Yiyi, Shanshan and others followed them and comforted them one by one.

The old houses that were burned down were those of Wang Wu and Liu Penyi. They were burned completely, leaving nothing behind.

Half a year ago they still lived in that thatched hut.

But last year I made some money from selling chili peppers.

Both families rebuilt their houses and fortunately moved into their new houses.

Otherwise, the loss would be huge now.

"Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Everyone is busy, and some people who don’t have anything serious to do are calculating the losses at home.

Suddenly a loud noise was heard.

It’s the Sun family!

Doctor Zhao hurried over first.

Xia Shengsheng was still stitching up other people's wounds, so he didn't move.

After I finished my work and walked over, I found out that the old man of the Sun family had passed away.

The remaining youngsters were kneeling there crying.

Old Grandpa Sun is almost 70 years old this year, and his great-grandson is already two years old. He can be said to have a large house with many children and grandchildren.

I didn't expect that he would pass away first in this incident.

Old Master Sun’s son is also 53 years old this year. At this moment, he was sitting next to Old Master Sun, crying uncontrollably.

"Dad! It's all my fault. If I had known something like this would happen, I would have sent you to Guan Hua a few days ago. Why didn't these bastards take my life away? Dad... wuwu..."

The Guan Hua he was referring to was his sister who married into another village.

Know it earlier? Actually, how can we know so much earlier?

People don't have the ability to predict the future.

If everyone had known about this incident earlier and taken precautions in advance, so many things wouldn't have happened.

Even Xia Shengsheng didn't expect so much.

Everything is changing now, things are getting out of control, she is not a god, and she doesn't know what will happen next?

That's why such a sad thing happened.

Many people gathered together and shed tears silently when they saw the Sun family's condition.

But life must go on.

Everyone almost didn't sleep all night. After treating everyone's wounds, they helped each household clean up the messy things.

After working all night, at dawn the village chief came back and everyone had just finished tidying up.

Village chief Ma was also extremely sad when he learned that Old Master Sun had passed away.

He still remembered that when he was a child, Old Master Sun took him to pick nightshades to eat.

In the past two years, whenever there were any major or minor events in the village, he would go to discuss them with Old Master Sun.

Unexpectedly, the person suddenly disappeared.

Old Master Sun’s funeral was not that grand, but almost everyone in the village went to see him for the last time.

Many young people whose injuries were not serious also went over to help.

Until Old Master Sun was buried.

Everyone returned home with emotion.
