Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

Sun Wan didn't dare to delay. She slid down the hillside quietly and ran back to the cave, shouting, "Everyone, get up! There are enemies nearby!"

These six simple words instantly alerted everyone. They hurriedly got up from the ground and looked at Sun Wan in panic.

Sun Wan didn't waste any time and simply stated her unexpected discovery with a serious expression.

"They're too close, and we have so many elderly people, children, and women here, and we're carrying so much food. If we flee in a hurry, we'll be easily ambushed and wiped out!"

"Now we have no choice but to fight to the death. Xiuqin, you must lead everyone to boil water immediately. The more the better!"

"It's a matter of life and death. Don't save firewood. After all, you can chop more firewood if you run out, but if you lose your life, it's all over!" Sun Wan specially reminded the frugal Xiuqin.

Zhu Xiuqin nodded hurriedly and immediately took a few women to boil water in a panic.

"Da Zhuang, you and Rong Ze are strong and brave. Guard the cave entrance with your knives. If anyone dares to show their head, chop them to death. Chop off the head!"

"The rest of the children, you have little strength and are not tall. Use this spear to poke them in the legs and crotch!"

Sun Wan pulled out a spear from the grain cart and put it in Xiao Fuzi's hand, and distributed the rest to the other children.

"Don't be afraid, just treat them as scarecrows. Look, this is a piece of cloth. Anyone holding a weapon must tie their hands tightly to the weapon, and don't let them take it away!"

Everyone's originally panicked hearts gradually calmed down under her arrangements.

"it is good!"

Everyone responded in unison and began to act in a hurry. Those who were boiling water did so quickly, and those who were tying knives did so quickly.

Just when they were finally ready, they heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside the cave.

"I figured you'd hide here. Hey! Get out of this cave, you scum!"

The cave was quiet.

Outside the cave, Zhu Zhennan's expression gradually became serious.

But in front of so many men, he couldn't retreat, so he swallowed his saliva and kicked someone next to him: "Go and see if these wimps are scared and dare not make a sound!"

The man was kicked and did not dare to delay. He approached the cave quietly with a knife in hand.

At first, everything seemed normal, and he felt relieved. He quickened his pace and rushed to the cave entrance: "Hey! Cowards..."

"Pfft!"

A spear pierced deeply into his thigh and was then quickly pulled out, splattering blood everywhere.

He was stunned at first, as if unwilling to believe what was happening before his eyes. Soon, the pain in his thigh where he was stabbed was unbearable.

"what--"

The screams were deafening, and the man fell to the rain, holding his thigh, groaning and rolling around in an attempt to relieve the pain in his thigh.

Inside the cave, Xiao Fuzi, who had just fired a shot, was trembling with nervousness. Sun Wan held his shoulders tightly and said, "Excellent work!"

Xiao Fuzi felt the gentle yet resolute strength on her shoulders, and the panic in her heart gradually subsided, followed by a high fighting spirit!

He grinned, squatted down, and stared at the group of scoundrels outside the cave without blinking.

Zhu Zhennan's face instantly turned gloomy.

He took a step forward hesitantly, and with his sharp eyes he caught a glimpse of the scene outside the cave entrance where people were standing in a row with swords and spears.

"What a hell!"

Zhu Zhennan was burning with anger. Compared to facing a powerful opponent, he was even more indignant that those weapons should have belonged to him!

"Don't be scared, guys! Look, we're outnumbered. How many people can hide in this shabby little cave? It's just bluffing!"

After saying that, Zhu Zhennan waved his hand and everyone rushed towards the cave.

But as they approached, five or six spears emerged from the cave.

In light of the previous lessons, these scoundrels were much more vigilant, and most of them easily dodged the children's sudden spear attacks.

What's worse, he even tried to seize the gun!

Xiao Fuzi was accidentally grabbed by someone, and his thin body was almost pulled out of the cave. Fortunately, Su Rongze and others at the cave entrance quickly pulled the children back.

Despite this, their faces were still seen clearly by Zhu Zhennan and his group.

Seeing that the other party even used children, Zhu Zhennan became even more convinced that this group of people had no real skills.

The morale of the rogues was greatly boosted, and they attacked fiercely, brandishing swords.

Sun Wan hurriedly pulled the children back, while Su Rongze, Zhang Daniu and others defended the cave entrance.

The sound of metal clashing and the smell of blood filled the air.

Although the people in the cave were protected by the rock walls, many people were still injured. They usually just farmed honestly, and once they were stabbed, they almost lost their combat effectiveness.

Fortunately, the scoundrels were more vulnerable and their movements were hindered, so they were temporarily unable to break in.

Seeing the critical situation, Sun Wan was extremely anxious. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a bonfire still burning nearby from the corner of her eye.

She picked up Xiao Fuzi and threw the spear in his hand into the fire: "Quick! Everyone do this!"

Everyone understood what was going on at a glance, and Zhu Xiuqin and others quickly added firewood to the fire, making the flames grow more and more intense.

Before the spear was heated, the water in the pot was already boiling.

Sun Wan, Zhu Xiuqin, and a strong aunt gritted their teeth, picked up the scalding iron pot and rushed to the cave entrance: "Da Zhuang!"

Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Daniu immediately dragged the villagers standing at the entrance of the cave back.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhennan and others outside the cave mistakenly thought that there was an opportunity and rushed into the cave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped in, everything in front of me became blurred, and a full pot of boiling water was poured on my head.

"Oooooooo-"

A terrible wail was heard. Several people in the front row had their faces and bodies burned to pieces. They waved their limbs and retreated like crazy, hoping to cool down with the rain.

But the heavy rain hitting the wound not only failed to relieve the pain, but instead irritated every inch of skin, causing it to feel as if it were being pricked by needles.

"what--"

Another wail, the burns caused by the boiling water were far worse than the cuts from a knife, the pain went deep into the bone marrow, becoming more and more unbearable as time went on.

If you don't soak in cold water quickly to relieve the pain, your skin will feel like it's being scalded layer by layer...

Several people screamed and rushed into the woods, frantically looking for puddles on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, several figures had rushed out, and those who stayed in place were also affected by the aftermath. They grinned and bared their teeth, shrinking back in pain.

At this time, Sun Wan took out quicklime from her backpack, pretended to take it out as a treasure from her arms, and sprinkled it into the air.

When quicklime came into contact with water, it immediately caused bursts of heart-wrenching screams.

Zhu Zhennan and the brothers around him were all stunned by the scene before them.

The enemy's ferocity was indeed terrifying, but the screams of their brothers made them feel even more depressed.

Many people began to shrink back and secretly began to think of backing out.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Zhennan was furious and kicked the guy who was trying to sneak away on the butt: "Why are you so cowardly!"

"I just don't believe that this boiling water can keep up with our speed! Come on!"

"Whoever rushes in first will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver from my own pocket!"

These words immediately ignited everyone's greed.
