Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Xiao Minghu suddenly felt something was wrong, "Who are you?"

The other person had a smirk on his face.

"I advise you to stop asking questions, otherwise..." The man stared at the frightened Xiao Qing with a wicked smile.

He took a step forward and put the dagger on Xiao Qing's neck.

Xiao Minghu's heart trembled, and anger spread throughout his body.

"Let her go."

Xiao Qing was so scared that she was shaking with tears streaming down her face.

"Dad, save me."

Xiao Minghu suppressed the anger in his heart.

His daughter is the most important person to him and her only relative in this world. He dare not gamble, nor can he afford to gamble.

"What do you want to do?"

The first person to speak just stared at Xiao Minghu coldly and walked straight to the main room.

Several other people escorted Xiao Minghu to the main hall and picked up the terrified Xiao Qing.

The skinny guy who spoke first saw Xiao Minghu staring at him angrily with his hands clenched as if he was about to explode at any time, and he chuckled.

"I advise you to be honest. I have seen many country people like you. Dealing with you is like killing a chicken."

Xiao Minghu was filled with hatred, but he also knew that these people had bad intentions. He was very confused as to why they targeted him.

"You're right. I'm just a farmer. I only have a few houses. If you want to rob, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place."

The other skinny little bean mouse was afraid that others would not know of his existence.

He rushed to Xiao Minghu in a hurry, and his thin body only reached Xiao Minghu's chest.

He looked up with a hint of disdain.

"We are not bandits. Even if we want to rob someone, we won't look for someone as unlucky as you."

The thin bamboo pole glared at the little mouse with dissatisfaction.

Then he turned to Xiao Minghu and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm here for one thing. Who are you buying herbs for?"

Xiao Minghu's head buzzed, it turned out that these people were going after Liu Siyu.

My mind was racing. Should I say it or not?

Liu Siyu asked him to buy medicinal herbs, which showed her trust in him.

That girl often goes to the town but doesn't buy things herself. She definitely doesn't want others to know that she buys herbs. If she tells others about it today, it would be like betraying that girl.

If I don’t tell you, judging from the attitude of these people, I’m afraid they won’t let it go.

How to do it?

Xiao Minghu was thinking about how to deal with the situation here.

The thin bamboo pole who was sitting there was a little impatient.

His face darkened. "Are you going to tell me or not? My patience is limited. Don't force me to use force."

Xiao Minghu gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't do anything for others. I bought the medicine today just for myself."

"Don't be so ridiculous. You should know what's going on when I come to you."

Xiao Minghu felt really aggrieved, but he still wanted to make a final struggle.

"I am an honest farmer. You broke into my house and threatened me. Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the police?"

The little mouse laughed strangely, as if he had heard a huge joke.

"Report to the police. Do you think the government is owned by your family? By the time you get justice, I'm afraid your little girl has already been raped and thrown into some brothel to be enjoyed by others."

The others all chuckled.

Xiao Qing was so scared that she burst into tears, and the man who was holding the knife against her neck slapped her in the face.

"Shut up, if you keep crying I'll skin you alive."

Xiao Qing was so frightened that she trembled and immediately shut her mouth, but her tears fell like beads from a broken string.

Xiao Minghu's eyes turned red and he really wanted to take a knife and chop these people into meat.

But she knew in her heart that she and her daughter were now like meat on someone else's chopping board, and their fate was not in their control.

He closed his eyes helplessly, "Let my daughter go, I said."

It had been sunny for several days in a row. When Wang got up in the morning and saw the sky was gloomy, her heart sank a little, and she always felt a sense of uneasiness.

When he looked up, he saw Xiao Minghu at the door and was shocked.

He walked quickly to the gate and whispered, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Minghu's brows were furrowed, his face full of guilt and uneasiness.

"Is Miss Siyu up yet?"

Wang was even more puzzled. Why was this man looking for Siyu so early in the morning?

But he still opened the door and said politely, "Go sit in the yard first. I'll wake Siyu up."

Xiao Minghu forced a smile and actually walked into the yard.

This made Wang feel a little overwhelmed. If someone saw her so early in the morning, who knows what gossip they would start.

Xiao Minghu also knew Wang’s concerns, but he really had something urgent to do.

"Then thank you for your help. I really have something urgent to discuss with Siyu."

Wang was full of doubts. She pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly and turned around to call Liu Siyu to get up.

Liu Siyu was also very surprised to hear that Xiao Minghu came to see her. She hurriedly put on her clothes and casually tied her hair into a bun. She was even more shocked when she saw Xiao Minghu in the yard with an anxious and uneasy look on his face.

"Uncle Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

When Xiao Minghu actually met Liu Siyu, he became hesitant again.

When Wang saw Xiao Minghu like this, she thought there was something inconvenient for her to hear and was about to make an excuse to leave.

But Liu Siyu was a little anxious, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Minghu lowered his voice and recounted what happened last night when he was forced to do so.

Liu Siyu and Wang were shocked. Those people were so bold. How was they different from bandits?

Wang had never seen the world, and her hands and feet trembled when she heard this.

"Siyu, will those people...will those people come to our house?"

After being shocked, Liu Siyu calmed down.

"Not for now. Don't worry. I will take care of it."

Wang was skeptical, "Those people are more vicious than bandits. How can you deal with them?"

Liu Siyu deliberately kept it a secret, "You'll know when the time comes."

Then he turned to Xiao Minghu and said, "Then what did you say?"

Xiao Minghu's guilty look was a little evasive, "I was really forced into no choice but to tell them that the nepeta yesterday was bought for you."

"Then what? Did you say anything else?" Liu Siyu wanted to know how much the hunter knew.

"Anything else?" Xiao Minghu hesitated slightly.

"They asked me not to tell anyone about this and to continue buying herbs for you, but I had to show them the prescription every time."

"Oh, really? Then why did you tell me?"

Xiao Minghu sighed.

"My father taught me to do things honestly since I was a child, but today I betrayed you for my daughter and me. I have always felt uneasy in my heart, so I thought I should tell you."

"Whether you hate me or scold me, I, Xiao Minghu, am the one who has let you down in this matter."

Then he looked at Liu Siyu and said, "I came here today to ask for advice. Tell me what I should do in the future. As long as you can save my daughter, I will listen to you."

Liu Siyu didn't expect Xiao Minghu to be so straightforward, and she felt a certain amount of admiration for him.

She didn't blame Xiao Minghu at all. He was just a good hunter, but he got into trouble with so many people because of her.

Being able to inform her afterwards was already the most I could do.

Liu Siyu bowed slightly, "Uncle Xiao, I can't blame you, nor will I hate you. I also understand your difficulties. It's all because of those people's greed."

As he spoke, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and he secretly passed through the faces of Shopkeeper Fu, Madam Chen, and Shopkeeper He in his mind one by one.

These people have registered with her.
