Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

The soldiers watched vigilantly for a long time, and seeing that the crows showed no signs of attacking them, they gradually relaxed their vigilance and began to mutter to themselves.

"Where did the crows come from in broad daylight? It's such bad luck!" a soldier complained in a low voice.

Another soldier echoed: "Yes, yes, everyone says that the crow is an ominous bird. Could it be..."

"You two, shut up!" Captain Wu suddenly shouted angrily, interrupting the soldiers' conversation.

He hated these weird and superstitious things the most, thinking they were all inexplicable and misleading.

He had already been interrogating the man for a long time but hadn't gotten anything out of him, and he was feeling very upset. Now the crows' cries made him even more upset.

After being scolded by Captain Wu, the soldiers immediately quieted down and dared not say a word.

The other soldiers who were responsible for dragging Shen's grandmother and eldest sister-in-law Wang Lan continued to do what they had not completed before, preparing to drag them to the chairs for further interrogation.

But before their hands could reach the arms of their grandmothers and the other two, several crows swooped down at an extremely fast speed and pecked at the soldiers' hands fiercely.

The two soldiers were pecked so hard that they retracted their hands and stepped back in pain. Suppressed discussions and screams began to be heard from the crowd.

The crows that pecked the soldiers away did not leave, but circled around my grandmother, as if they were deliberately protecting her.

Even so, this scene really scared my grandmother. Her legs went weak with fear and she squatted down, almost falling down.

Fortunately, Shen Qingge rushed over at this moment, quickly supported her grandmother, and said softly: "Grandma, don't worry, these crows are here to protect us, they won't hurt you!"

The grandmother looked at her in surprise. Although she had doubts in her heart, she chose to believe her granddaughter's words. She stood up straight and was no longer as scared as before.

Captain Wu, who was standing not far away, refused to believe it and immediately ordered a group of soldiers to drive away the crows with sticks.

Strangely enough, these crows seemed to have intelligence. When they saw someone attacking, they quickly dispersed, flew to a height that the soldiers could not reach, and then circled in the air again, constantly making creepy calls, but did not actively attack anyone.

Captain Wu was helpless when he saw this, and worried about wasting time, so he ordered his men to watch over the crows and drive them away, while at the same time moving the interrogation site under the eaves.

However, whenever the soldiers tried to approach the Shen family, the crows would immediately swoop down and stop them. This happened several times, and the soldiers were so scared that they dared not take action.

At this moment, whispers began to be heard from the group of exiles: "These crows really seem to be protecting the Shen family!"

Another person echoed, "Yeah, they've been circling over the Shen family. It's really weird. Could it be that the Shen family has gotten into trouble with some evil creature? This is all so weird!"

After hearing everyone's discussions, the soldiers cast hesitant glances at the captain, not knowing how to deal with the situation.

Captain Wu acted decisively, took the bow and arrow from the back of the soldier next to him, drew the bow and shot at the flock of crows.

A crow was immediately pierced through the chest and fell to the ground.

I thought that this would scare away the other crows, but who would have thought that this action seemed to anger the crows.

They quickly gathered together, and then, in groups, they flapped their wings and swooped down towards Captain Wu like sharp swords, making shrill cries as if calling their companions.

Captain Wu quickly drew the sword from his waist and ordered his soldiers to surround and fight against the crows.

For a moment, the sounds of swords, soldiers' screams, and crows' cries intertwined together, and the scene was in chaos.

The fugitives fled in terror, hiding under the eaves and behind big trees, trembling.

Soon, the ground was littered with crow corpses. The black crows and the red bloodstains were shocking and a bit weird.

When the soldiers covered their injured arms and thought the danger was about to pass, the sky, which had already turned white, turned dark again.

The soldiers took a closer look and nearly fell to the ground in fear: "Ah... What kind of crow is this? It's as big as an eagle. How terrifying!"

"Master Captain, how about we retreat inside the house?"

Captain Wu had never seen such a big crow before and was also frightened by the scene.

He looked closely and found that the wings of these crows were about as long as an arm, and they flew even faster. When they flapped their arms, he could feel the wind from a long distance away.

But how could he, a dignified captain, be frightened by a few crows? He really couldn't afford to lose face!

Out of consideration, he had to continue to raise his sword to fight.

No one noticed that at this moment, Shen Qingge clenched his left hand hidden in his sleeve, and a faint blue light shone in the palm of his hand.

Then, the crows flapped their wings and circled around Captain Wu, and every time they flapped their wings, they released a strong murderous aura.

Captain Wu was already a little tired from dealing with the crows. When his sword-raising hand dropped slightly, a crow suddenly swooped down at high speed, its sharp, thick beak piercing his shoulder blade.

"what!"

In an instant, the skin was torn and blood was flowing.

Captain Wu dropped the sword in his hand in pain, and the soldiers around him quickly formed a human wall to protect him and quickly retreated under the eaves.

"It's really a ghost!" Captain Wu cursed as he retreated.

The window of the guest room behind him had opened a crack. County Magistrate Zhang and his companions were observing the situation in the open space through the crack.

"Sir, I didn't lie to you. There is really something wrong with Shen Qingge. Either she has learned some evil magic, or she is too evil and attracts sinister things!" Wang Gui said as he nodded and bowed.

Zhao Bao also chimed in: "Indeed! Look, these crows attack our soldiers but not the fugitives over there. It's really strange. In my opinion, this woman cannot be kept!"

"In that case, we should go back and prepare overnight and get rid of this girl tomorrow to avoid any more trouble." Zhang Juncheng said. He thought for a moment and then added:

"You, Wang Gui, will drive these fugitives back to the county government later. There must be no delay!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

"So, does Captain Wu still have questions?"

"What are you asking? Don't you have those unlucky crows circling in the sky? Let that good-for-nothing come back and find a doctor to give him some medicine!" Zhang Juncheng said unhappily.

At this point, this grand "raising of troops to hold people accountable" came to an end, and County Magistrate Zhang and his entourage left the Auspicious Inn in disgrace.
