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

Sun Wan turned around and said, "Hey, how did I alarm you guys?"

Su Yousheng was as excited as a child. "We saw you at noon and guessed you would definitely come here tonight, so we found a way to untie the rope ourselves. Look, this can help you!"

Zhang Kun, who was standing nearby, also said happily, "Not only that, most of the people in Sujia Village have already broken free from their restraints on their own."

After hearing this, Sun Wan happily took out more firecrackers from her bag and handed them to the two men, carefully instructing them, "These are spares. Press here with your lighter and throw them out as soon as the fuse is lit, otherwise they will really hurt someone."

The two of them took it carefully and held it tightly as if it were a treasure.

"Zhang Kun, you take care of the enemies here. I'll go take a look behind the prefect."

Sun Wan said in a firm tone.

Hearing this, Su Yousheng said anxiously: "Mom, be careful, I'll go too."

His voice was filled with worry and uneasiness.

But Sun Wan shook her head and refused. "Follow Zhang Kun and rescue the villagers. Save whoever needs help, and make sure those soldiers don't pose any more danger."

Her eyes showed determination and concern.

After she finished her instructions, she quickly left, leaving the two young men to take action.

Although they were a little nervous, they followed their mother's instructions and quickly started working to rescue the villagers.

On the other side, the petite Goudaner and Su Yinan moved around under the cover of night, throwing the things in their hands at the enemy.

Every time they threw it, they would immediately run to another hidden place to hide and make sure they would not be discovered.

Not only were they limited to firecrackers, the two also brought a lot of handheld fireworks.

Once these things are thrown directly into the eyes of the target, they will cause the target to be temporarily blinded and cry bitterly.

They moved expertly through the crowd, continuously releasing all kinds of fireworks, as if they were fish in water, giving full play to their abilities in this battle.

Sun Wan came to the private residence behind the government office and went straight to the dining area.

Since this place was occupied by enemy troops before, it is expected that a large amount of food is stored there.

Sure enough, the kitchen was filled with hot food - steamed buns, steamed buns, sesame cakes, braised products, etc.

Sun Wan quickly transferred all these things to her own mysterious space for storage to ensure that the villagers would have sufficient food supply in the future.

Not only that, raw food ingredients are not spared.

All edible things, regardless of shape or state, are included.

Fresh vegetables, meat, soy products, etc., nothing is left out.

Next, she kicked open the door of the adjacent storage room.

All the dry and wet items inside went into her pockets.

Various dry goods, seasonings, canned foods and other foods were also quickly cleaned up.

Not even a single shelf in the cupboard was left empty, and all kitchen utensils such as pots, pans, and bowls were taken away to ensure that no useful supplies were wasted.

After she finished cleaning up, she saw the woodshed as she passed by the courtyard and emptied it without hesitation.

Fuels such as wood, straw, and dry branches were also collected one by one in preparation for the coming cold winter.

Finally she arrived at the warehouse door.

Based on experience, there should be a lot of important materials stored here, such as grains, fibers, and fabrics, right?

She pondered this in her mind and prepared to search the place further.

At this moment, the officials in the mansion were so frightened by the noisy noise outside that they thought they were under attack and had already closed themselves in. The servants were looking for shelter everywhere and shouting loudly. The whole mansion was filled with panic and chaos.

All this bought Sun Wan plenty of time to do more collecting work.

Because all the security forces had been deployed to the front to meet the enemy, almost no one noticed her actions.

Finally, she harvested several sturdy mounts and related feed from the stables, and took them away without any hesitation.

After passing the carriage shed, looking forward, you can see a row of tall houses, which are obviously warehouses or other buildings.

Sun Wan quickened her pace and quickly arrived at the door of one of the warehouses.

There was a large brass lock hanging on the gate, which looked extremely sturdy.

She took out an axe from the space and smashed the lock several times without hesitation, and soon broke the lock open.

Just as I was about to step in, I heard hurried footsteps behind me.

Sun Wan quickly put the axe into the space and stood obediently at the door waiting.

"Stop! Where did you come from, old woman? Why are you here? Who told you to open the warehouse door?"

When she turned around, she saw two palace soldiers holding long swords questioning her with fierce expressions.

She pretended to be honest, lowered her head and said softly, "I am a servant of the eldest lady. The eldest lady asked me to check whether the storeroom is safe."

As she spoke, she slowly approached the two palace soldiers, her eyes searching for an opportunity.

Suddenly he took out the fireworks he had prepared in advance and threw them at their faces. There were two loud bangs and sparks flew out.

The two palace soldiers were so frightened that they screamed and jumped up in panic. They never expected that the seemingly docile woman in front of them would suddenly attack.

Sun Wan immediately took out her weapon and pointed it at them. The two soldiers immediately fell to the ground without a sound.

She was worried that the noise here would attract more people, so she immediately used the axe to chop open the two warehouse doors next to her and rushed in.

After quickly collecting the necessary items, he moved towards the front yard, his movements extremely decisive and swift.

Sun Wan wanted to find the prefect's study.

There should be a lot of books and writing supplies hidden there, perhaps some precious study treasures and rare ancient books.

She planned to pick out some stationery and books for her youngest son to take home.

I hope that he can start studying after he settles down. Once the country of Li is stable in the future, maybe I can let him try to take the college entrance examination.

This will not only make him knowledgeable, but also improve the status of his family.

Because she understood that in this world, it would be difficult to get enough support and protection without an official title.

Especially in such a turbulent era, if you don’t have a background, you will always encounter various obstacles when doing things.

For example, if you want to grow crops or run a money-making project, the situation will be completely different if there is a scholar in the family who speaks for you.

With such a long-term plan in mind, Sun Wan finally found a place in the front yard that looked like a study.

Although this courtyard is not large, it has an ingenious layout and the doors and windows are carved with patterns. It is obvious that this is a relatively important place in the mansion.

Just as she quietly entered the yard along the wall, a sharp sound suddenly sounded above her head.

Then, several rockets shot straight into the sky, lighting up the entire courtyard.

The sudden light made her stop and she was filled with alertness.

The moment I turned my head, I met two pairs of dark eyes, one of which was full of surprise.

"Grandma, why are you here?"
