Su Yan and He An were drinking porridge in the west wing. They had been eating this for the past few days and didn't dare to make anything else for fear that the smoke would attract the wrong people.

Dudu and the other children were called out of the cave and taken to the west wing for some fresh air.

After dinner, we have to send them back.

There has never been a moment when Su Yan was so grateful for Dudu's good temper.

In fact, she has been a person who doesn't cry much since she was born. Unless someone really provokes her, she can have a lot of fun by herself.

This characteristic is usually just praised by people for being trouble-free.

But at this critical moment, she really bought herself a chance to survive.

After dinner, Su Yan was holding Dudu and coaxing her to sleep.

The outside world suddenly erupted in an uproar.

He An, who had better hearing, heard the screams and shouts at once, and his originally warm face instantly turned as cold as the wind.

He reacted very quickly and hugged Su Yan and Dudu, then immediately led them to the cellar entrance.

Brother He and the others also reacted at this time and immediately pushed the children closest to them to the entrance of the cellar.

This time, with the help of the men, the children were quickly sent to the cellar.

After putting everything back in place and confirming again and again that there was nothing unusual from the outside, He An and Brother He followed Uncle He and Third Uncle He out.

The servants outside had obviously heard the sound and were now waiting at their respective positions.

Unlike the casual arrangements made in the hasty preparations for war three nights ago, during these three days, in addition to sending people to the patriarch's house to deliver the message, they also took the time to specially arrange the positions and distribution of the servants.

In fact, they had heard from the clan leader these days that the leader of the disaster victims, Wang Yi, was quite kind.

I have no ill will towards the people in the county, nor do I have any intention of killing people.

In the past few days, he has been trying hard to restrain his men and prevent them from harassing the local people too much.

It can be said that if it were not for Wang Yi, their county would never be as peaceful as it is now these days.

So what is the reason for the unrest outside now?

Su Yan lowered his head in the room, thinking anxiously.

Are reinforcements from the imperial court arriving, or are the county lieutenant and his men rebelling again?

But judging from the information we have received so far, the second possibility is basically zero.

But Su Yan didn't think that reinforcements from the imperial court had arrived. The reason was very simple. The sound sounded like it came from the county.

Since the disaster victims occupied the county town three days ago, Wang Yi has sent people to guard the east and west gates.

If reinforcements from the imperial court arrive, they will definitely attack from the outside first.

They would not fail to hear that noise.

If it wasn’t reinforcements, nor was it an uprising in the county, then what could it be?

Su Yan was puzzled.

But soon, Su Yan no longer had to guess, because the mystery that had been bothering her was solved.

By the afternoon, the sounds of screaming and fighting in the county had subsided.

Another kind of excited and pleased sound came from all directions.

What's that sound?

Su Yan tilted his head and thought for a moment.

If I have to describe it, it's like a tiger trapped in a cage. Once the cage door is opened, its nature is released.

Therefore, they let out excited howls at the forest they are about to dominate.

It was as if it was declaring to the other animals in the forest.

The end of the world is coming!

If we say that the first three days after the disaster victims entered the county town were a time of mental torture for everyone.

After the third day of fighting, everyone truly fell into hellish pain.

The victims seemed to have finally broken free from the shackles on their bodies and began to show the darkest side of their hearts to the people in the county.

It was then that Su Yan realized that the difference between the hardworking and simple people and the vicious bandits was not as big as she had imagined.

At least that was the case in ancient times.

They are like wolves invading a flock of sheep, wantonly showing the dark side of their human nature in front of the people.

In just one afternoon, Su Yan heard the doors of several nearby houses being suddenly broken open and then ransacked.

What's worse, Su Yan also heard the woman's sharp cry.

Su Yan was silent for a while, and Grandmother He and the others in the west wing obviously realized what this voice meant.

My heart became solemn.

The screams outside continued, but Su Yan could no longer bear to listen.

She even wanted to run out and kick, beat and kill these people.

I want to ask them, why they were honest citizens a few days ago, but did such unscrupulous things a few days later?

But in the end she just shrank into the corner, listening to the sound from sharp to weak, and finally to silence.

At the same time, the obscene laughter of men was also mixed in.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sound finally stopped and it was already dark.

But obviously, those people's carnival did not end with the arrival of night.

Clusters of fire began to light up in the county.

If you look from a high place, you will find that it is not a lamp at all, but something burning violently.

Many years later, when Su Yan thought about what happened on that day, she could only describe the occasional rays of light in the pitch-black night.

The fire, which originally symbolized wealth and only appeared in wealthy homes, became everyone's nightmare on that day.

Su Yan's home is located in a remote area, but there are still some people who come here unexpectedly.

They didn't dare to make a sound and could only attack them quietly, for fear of attracting other people's attention.

This night was exceptionally long. Dawn was about to break, and just when Su Yan and the others thought it was almost over, they suddenly heard dragging footsteps coming from the other side of the alley.

The sounds were light and heavy, like a group of drunk people walking.

Then he walked drunkenly to the door of Su Yan's house and knocked on it.

He An, Uncle He and Uncle San were inside the door, not daring to move.

Hearing the sound of the fist hitting the door, it felt like it was hitting their hearts.

Each time, it was dull and powerful, making people shudder.

“...Open...the door! Open...the door for me!”

"...Grandpas need to go to bed, why don't you serve them well!"

"That's it..., serve the grandfathers...hiccup...and be happy. Maybe...the grandfathers will...spare your lives...hiccup."

There was a burst of laughter outside, followed by a burst of foul language.

He An's veins popped out when he heard this. He clenched his hands tightly and wished he could rush up and punch these people.

Uncle He and Uncle He San also pursed their lips tightly and silently increased their movements against the door.

I thought these drunks made a lot of noise for a while, but when they saw that they didn't open the door, they lost the energy to make any more noise and just left.

But unexpectedly, these people kept knocking for a long time, and in the end, not only did they not get tired of knocking, they gave up.

Instead, he became more and more aggressive, and finally started kicking the door.
