Li Lanzhen felt a little nervous and followed the man in black silently.

She guessed that this person was King Jin's man, or the county magistrate's man, or...

I can't guess it, so I have to play it by ear. I don't know if I can enter the space. If I can, it would be nice to hide in there.

Tongzi probably doesn't know either, so you have to make full preparations. She quietly prepared the electric baton, but held the wooden spike tightly in her hand.

Because she felt that the man in black should be a martial arts expert. The martial arts masters seen in later generations looked like this, exuding a coldness that kept strangers away, and this man was as light as a swallow.

As he was thinking, he came to a dead end. The man in black turned around and looked at Li Lanzhen coldly.

The black guy was looking at what she was doing, so she decided to take the initiative.

"Why are you looking at me? Are you trying to quit?"

Li Lanzhen looked calm, but she was really panicking inside. She continued to grumble, "Tsk tsk, your taste is really unique. Look carefully, I'm an old woman! I have a lot of children and grandchildren."

Glancing at the guy who was still standing there motionless, she mustered up her courage and moved her feet, "If you don't say anything, I'll leave. Thank you for saving me."

After saying that, she turned around and walked away without hesitation, one step at a time. After taking three steps, Li Lanzhen's back was covered in sweat. When she raised her foot to take the fourth step, she heard a voice colder than the system.

"Hand over your weapons. You can go back to your family."

Li Lanzhen understood immediately that this guy might have discovered the electric batons in her and her two sons' hands a long time ago, and he came here today just for the electric batons, but it was unknown who he was.

The electric baton must not be handed over, otherwise the whole family will die. No, the entire Hanjia Village may be killed. Thinking of this, she turned around and looked at him with innocent eyes.

"What weapons? We are fleeing from famine. We don't have any weapons. Don't listen to the nonsense of that rogue old lady Wu. She and I are sworn enemies. She knocked me out with a stone and then fled from famine."

"I say again, hand over your weapon." The cold voice sounded again.

Li Lanzhen thought the time was right. If she continued to dawdle, he would probably lose his patience. She slowly took out three wooden thorns from her bosom, put them in her palm, and handed them to him to see. "Oh, are you talking about this thing that kills bad guys when you poke it in their body?"

"Swish", Li Lanzhen's eyes flashed, and the three wooden spikes in her hand were lying in the palm of the big hand of the man in black one meter away from her.

This made Li Lanzhen surprised and amazed. Could this be drifting? Teleportation? Qinggong?

Hahaha, that’s awesome. I’ve learned a lot today.

The system's Carslan metal eyes have turned into ping-pong balls, idiot!!!

I am hovering on the brink of death, yet I am still so happy.

Humph, this host is a stubborn one, and a heartless one!! When I graduate from the System Bureau, I can choose my own host.

The man in black looked at the wooden thorn in the palm of his hand. It was as long as himself, as thick as his finger, and reddish-brown in color. It was the same as what he had seen from afar, but he just felt something was different.

Li Lanzhen: Of course it's different. This is the secret weapon I showed you. It looks like this. Fortunately, what I took out was a small electric baton, which was hidden in my sleeves and not much was exposed.

"Can you make someone faint by poking him with this?" The man in black seemed to not believe it. He picked up one and prepared to poke it into the palm of his hand.

Li Lanzhen immediately screamed and tried to stop him, "Be careful, these wooden thorns are soaked with poison. If the skin is broken, the poison will enter the body and the person will faint immediately."

The man in black paused, took out a piece of oil paper, wrapped the three wooden thorns, carefully put them in his arms, and asked her.

"What kind of poison is on it? Where did these thorns come from?"

"The one on top is a powerful drug. These wooden thorns were obtained from the mountains. We didn't get them. They were left by my husband's ancestors. I don't know where they came from."

Li Lanzhen thought to herself that she must not expose Xue Lao Hu, as he was doing it for her own good. She thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Your husband? Why don't I see him?"

Li Lanzhen was shocked. Could it be that this guy had been following her? She looked down at her feet with a sad expression, "My husband has passed away."

"Go on, hand over your secret weapon?"

Li Lanzhen thought she could leave, but she was stunned by the man in black's words. At this time, she was also a little angry and asked him angrily.

"What did you say? Didn't I give it to you? What secret weapon do you have? I'm just an old woman in the village, what secret weapon can I have?"

The man in black was unmoved. "Let me help you recall. There was a loud bang. There was a flash of fire. There was an explosion."

Li Lanzhen was really dumbfounded this time.

It was confirmed that this guy really saw it. Ye Dayan saw me on the day he led King Jin's soldiers to arrest soldiers, right? This is really troublesome.

"Explosion? Oh, hahaha, what you saw were the firecrackers given to my third son by his classmates in the academy. Thanks to these firecrackers, otherwise, our whole family would have been buried in the mountains."

"Firecrackers?" The man in black was a little unconvinced, but he didn't see it with his own eyes. It was just said by a frightened soldier who came back. Maybe he was so scared that he exaggerated.

The man in black looked up at the sky and thought to himself that he should arrest all the people in this village. The men could be sent to King Jin to serve in the army, and the women could be sold to brothels to make some money.

In this way, King Jin would not be too disappointed and angry with himself. However, it is not possible now. I have to wait until night. The knockout drug should be more effective.

Thinking of this, he looked at Li Lanzhen and said, "You can go now."

"Ah? Oh, okay, I'm leaving, don't see me off." After saying that, she immediately walked out of the alley. When the wind blew, she felt that she was covered in sweat.

She shuddered and walked out quickly to blend into the crowd on the street.

Old Mrs. Wu must disappear, but no one knows where she is. Keeping such a vicious person around would be the greatest evil to oneself and one's family.

Li Lanzhen gritted her teeth and cursed Old Lady Wu thousands of times in her heart.

She didn't want to go shopping anymore, so she thought about finding the dog hole that Goudan mentioned. She wanted to use the dog hole to take out some of the food she had exchanged in the mall.

As he was walking with his head down, he bumped into a woman holding a child about one year old.

"Sorry, I'm sorry." Li Lanzhen reached out to support her, and saw that the child in her arms had a red face, purple lips, and his limbs hung down weakly.

The woman's cheeks were filled with tears and her eyes were as red as a rabbit.

"Nothing." She was about to leave, but Li Lanzhen stopped her and said, "Did the child get something stuck in his throat? Leave it to me."

After saying that, he picked up the child and placed him against his chest, then knelt on the ground with his knees bent, picked up the child, and placed him face down with his body resting on his knees.

Then, Li Lanzhen patted the baby's shoulder blades with one hand five times with moderate force, then turned the child over, face up, and pressed his chest five times with her index and middle fingers at the lower half of his sternum.

The woman was caught off guard for a moment and saw Li Lanzhen holding her child and slapping and hitting the child, turning the child over and over. She was extremely angry.

She immediately stepped forward and grabbed the child's arm and tried to pull him over. The crowd of onlookers gathered around her, pointing and scolding Li Lanzhen.

Glancing at the woman coldly, she said, "If you don't want your child's life, pull it."

After hearing her son's life, the woman collapsed on the ground, covered her mouth and sobbed.

Li Lanzhen repeated the above actions, and the shouting and cursing around her became louder. Suddenly, "Woo waa, cough cough cough." The child spit out a big red date from his mouth, and then began to cry loudly.

The woman went up and hugged the child tightly, and also started crying.

Li Lanzhen stood up and clapped her hands, then tidied her sweaty hair and did not move. She did not want to do good deeds without leaving a name. Currently, she urgently needed a rich man to take the blame for her supplies.

At this time, several maids, old women, and servants rushed in from behind, helped the woman up from the ground, and all of them looked anxious and asked about the child.

"Madam, how is the young master? Why are you sitting on the ground? Let's go to the clinic and find a doctor."

"Alright, young master is alright, hahahaha, you see, young master can breathe now."

"Snapped."

The lady who was holding the young master slapped the old woman who said that the young master could breathe.

Only then did he see Li Lanzhen standing there. He looked at her gray clothes, obviously a refugee, and did not show any disdain in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Thank you very much. You are a great benefactor to our Zhou Mansion."

"Zhou Mansion? Oh my god, this is Jin Fulai who just came back, the eldest young lady of the Zhou Mansion."
