Song Yao thought about it and realized that this natural disaster was sent by God. If the old locust tree helped the villagers and God knew about it, he would probably bring disaster upon it, and maybe even strike it with lightning.

Moreover, drought was raging at the time. If it provided help and people from other villages found out, they would definitely make a big fuss. If someone died, it would be even more out of control.

It seems that this old locust tree has become a spirit.

Song Silan said, "But how can your son and daughter-in-law leave? You two old people are already so old. If they are really filial, they should stay and take care of you two."

Old Master Liu smiled bitterly and said, "If I could go back many years, I would definitely not give birth to him. However, there is no medicine for regret in this world. I can only bear everything that happened by myself. I can't blame anyone else."

After hearing this, Song Yao and the others understood that Grandpa Liu also regretted giving birth to them. Facing their departure, he was helpless and hateful, but he could do nothing about it.

"Oh, the sweet potatoes are baked. Come, have some." Old Man Liu picked up a baked sweet potato and handed it to Song Yao, then picked up another and handed it to Song Silan.

Song Yao said politely, "We are holding the child and can't eat. Grandpa, you eat first."

"Then you can eat it later. It's a little hot, so let it cool down first." Mr. Liu was not afraid of the heat. He picked up a baked sweet potato and began to peel off the skin.

Some of the sweet potatoes were burnt on the outside, but after being torn open, the sweet potato flesh inside was very sweet and oily, which really whetted one's appetite.

After Old Lady Liu and Song He made the bed and started the fire, the two of them came out.

When Mr. Liu saw Mrs. Liu coming out, he hurriedly picked up a sweet potato and peeled it for her.

When Song He saw the sweet potatoes, his eyes lit up.

Old Mrs. Liu knew that she liked to eat it, so she gave her a sweet potato.

She glanced at Old Man Liu, who smiled and said, "Eat it, there's more."

After Song Yao and Song Silan coaxed the children to sleep, they put them on the kang.

After they had a good sleep, the two went out to eat sweet potatoes.

After eating the sweet potatoes, it was already late, so they went back to the house to sleep.

The kang was very wide, more than enough for the three of them to sleep.

But at night, Song He was awakened by a voice.

At first she didn't take it seriously, until she thought of the big locust tree outside, then she suddenly opened her eyes.

She wanted to wake up Song Yao, but Song Yao was asleep and she didn't have the heart to wake her up, so she had to get out of bed and check it out herself.

She put on her clothes, walked to the door of the middle room, gently pulled open the latch, and saw three people coming in through the crack in the door.

Their faces were covered, so we couldn't see what they looked like.

They sneaked around and went to the left from the open dam.

On the left is where they parked the mule carts and horse carriages.

What Song He couldn't understand was that there were only a few families left in the village, and all those left were elderly people. There were no young people at all. So where did these men come from?

Are they from another village?

Or, have they been following them the whole time?

Song He was shocked. Could it be Song Jiaqi and his men?

They followed behind because they were the most convenient, so these people were most likely sent by Song Jiaqi.

Song He was a little anxious because Song Qing was the only one guarding the supplies there. If he fell asleep, wouldn’t that be terrible?

However, Dahuang was also there. If it heard the shouting, the whereabouts of these three people would be exposed.

Of course, Song He did not sit still and wait for death. She slowly opened the door and went out. She did not go to the place where the carriage was parked, but came to the door of Song Zizhou's house.

However, the door was bolted from the inside, so Song He couldn't push it open.

She didn't shout because she was afraid of disturbing the three thieves over there, but if she spoke softly, Song Zizhou and the others would definitely not be able to hear her, so she could only go to the side where the carriage was parked.

She moved closer and hid in the corner outside Mr. Liu's house. When she stuck her head out to look, the three thieves had already reached the mule cart.

They made so little noise that Da Huang didn't notice.

Just as they climbed onto the mule cart and were about to start, Song He saw the crown of the old locust tree in front of them shake, and then a puff of white smoke rose around the old locust tree.

The three people standing on the carriage were suddenly surrounded by white smoke. Song He was stunned and covered her mouth in fear.

In her sight, she saw the three figures struggling in the white smoke, two of them even covering their necks with their hands, looking extremely painful.

After struggling for a while, they fell off the mule cart!

Song He was stunned and got goose bumps all over his body instantly.

Soon, the white smoke dissipated and the three men lay on the ground motionless!

Song He's mentality collapsed in an instant. She wanted to leave, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't move at all.

It turns out that the old locust tree has actually become a spirit!

It turns out this is all true.

It took Song He a long time to come back to her senses. She ran to the door of the house where Song Zizhou and his family lived without hesitation and started banging on it frantically.

She knocked on the door and shouted in panic, "Brother, brother!"

After shouting a few times, everyone inside was woken up.

After a while, Song Zizhou came over and opened the door.

In Song He's sight, besides Song Zizhou, there were also Song Mingxuan, Song Qian, Song Jingmo, and Li Zhao and Yuan Jizhong, father and son.

Everyone looked at Song He with doubtful eyes.

Song He pointed in the direction of the mule cart and said something they couldn't understand.

Li Zhao asked, "She pointed towards the mule cart. Could something have happened there?"

When everyone heard Li Zhao's words, they ignored Song He and ran straight to the carriage.

As a result, when I ran over, I saw three people lying on the ground!

The person was already lying on the ground, so Song Zizhou and the others were naturally not afraid and walked over to check.

It wasn't until they took off the black cloth on these people's faces that everyone gasped!

The people lying on the ground were none other than Song Wenchuan, Song Zhiyuan, and Song Xinyue.

Song He walked over. She thought she saw three men, but she didn't expect that one of them was Song Xinyue. What shocked her even more was that these people were actually sent by Song Jiaqi!

Song Jing frowned, his eyes filled with disbelief, "How could it be them?"

Song Jingmo was surprised and asked, "Why them?"

Song He said, "They must have run out of food, so Song Jiaqi asked them to steal food. The ones who are hateful are not them, but Song Jiaqi, that bastard!"

Song Zizhou didn't say anything. He squatted down and reached out to feel the breathing of the three of them.

All the people are dead.

And on their necks, a very deep dark purple mark appeared.

Li Zhao said, "How is it?"

Song Zizhou turned his head and looked at them. "They are all dead."

When Song He heard the three words "all dead", he couldn't help but feel frightened.
