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

Seeing Sun Wan's frightened expression, Su Yinan immediately took her hand and said gently with a warm smile on his face.

Goudan, who was standing nearby, also noticed her and greeted her with a smile, "Grandma Lanzhen, you're here too? What a coincidence!"

As he spoke, he smiled mischievously, seeming to be pleased with his discovery.

Sun Wan patted their heads gently, her tone doting.

"What brought you two little rascals here? Are you planning some mischief?"

She smiled, her eyes twinkling with kindness.

Goudan said excitedly, "I'm looking for a horse and carriage! I want to prepare a comfortable means of transportation for Grandma to use on our next journey, so you don't have to walk so far!"

As he spoke, he described his ideas with his hands and feet, as if a brand new carriage had appeared before his eyes.

Hearing this, Sun Wan was deeply moved, and a hint of moisture flashed in her eyes.

This child always thinks about her, and this caring feeling warms her heart.

So he said, "Okay, I've already arranged the car. Now come with me into the house and see what's going on."

There was a hint of excitement in his tone, as if he was looking forward to the treasure he was about to discover.

However, after walking a few steps, he suddenly realized a new problem - it would be inconvenient to let the two children go in with him to pack up the things.

They are too small to move smoothly and may accidentally damage some precious items.

"You will stay here and keep watch for me," he said gently to the children. "I will come out to see you when I am done."

He hoped these two clever little guys could help him keep the place safe.

Su Yinan gently instructed her grandmother, "Remember to prepare some books, fine rice paper, and high-quality brushes, inkstones, and inkstones for my uncle."

He seemed to be very interested in these things and obviously took the request very seriously.

Sun Wan just waved slightly with a warm smile on her face. Although she didn't say a word, this action meant that she had understood and remembered her grandson's request.

Then she walked towards the study. The door was not locked and opened with just a slight push. The scene before her brightened her eyes.

"Wow! This study is really spacious."

Li Lancheng couldn't help but sigh.

In front of her was a large open space used as a hall, and looking through this space, she could see two other small rooms deeper in the room, which looked very well laid out.

Sun Wan didn't stay too long to appreciate the surroundings. She simply waved her hand and moved all the antique shelves placed near the wall, a large desk with neatly placed chairs on it, and even the books on the bookshelf into her own private storage space.

As she continued to explore deeper into the room, Sun Wan was pleasantly surprised to find more books of various types hidden at the back. She secretly thought that these must be the best pieces in the collection, right?

There are several smaller but exquisitely crafted shelves placed next to it, which are filled with various exquisite jade ornaments; at the same time, there are also several handmade ceramic vases of considerable height standing on the wall.

For all these precious treasures, Sun Wan still chose to quickly put them all into her pocket without staying or observing for too long.

Just as she was about to turn to the last room to see what kind of rare treasures were hidden,

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a hurried voice coming from outside the door, "Grandma Lanzhen! Come out quickly, come out quickly!"

It was Goudan who was shouting anxiously and terrified.

After hearing the call, Sun Wan immediately realized that something unexpected might have happened. She became alert and ran out in a hurry.

When she just arrived at the door, she saw Goudan and Su Yinnan pulling her hands and quickly fleeing from here. They chose to escape along the path blocked by the rockery on the right side of the study.

The three of them quickly moved to a hidden spot at the base of the courtyard wall and hid. Just as they were about to leave the sight of the original building, they heard faint voices coming from inside the building...

"Pack your things and leave!"

Sun Wan urged anxiously, her voice full of urgency.

Sun Wan pulled Su Yinnan and Goudan to run out.

She was very anxious, fearing that she would be discovered if she delayed any further.

Goudan stopped, looked up at Sun Wan, and said, "Grandma Lanzhen, I heard that the wives of wealthy families store all the treasures they bring with them when they get married, as well as the gold and silver jewelry they collect on a daily basis, in the small warehouses in their own residences."

Goudan's eyes flashed with intelligence. "I've just seen that's the prefect's wife's small storehouse over there. Let's go take a look. Maybe there's something good in there."

Sun Wan patted Goudan's head, smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay! Let's go!"

Her tone was full of praise.

Sun Wan's mood suddenly became very good. She felt that Goudan was really smart. Not only did he think quickly, but he also had many ideas.

The three of them entered the courtyard of the magistrate's wife together and saw the maids and servants in the courtyard busily packing various items into boxes. It was obvious that they had received urgent news.

Goudan quickly threw a firecracker over.

A loud "bang" exploded in the yard. The servants were frightened and screamed, fleeing in all directions. Finally, they hid in the nearest room and dared not come out again.

As they walked past the incense burner, the aroma filled their nostrils.

The three of them ignored the decorations around them and packed all the things including the boxes in.

Sun Wan pushed open the door and entered the main hall, only to see several little girls huddled in the corner, their faces filled with fear, trembling.

Obviously they were also frightened by the noise outside.

Goudan immediately yelled, "Get out of here!"

He was stern and merciless.

When the maids heard this, they screamed and rushed out the door, as if the devil was about to catch up with them.

Sun Wan waved her hand, and all the furniture, jade, picture frames on the wall and other valuable things in the house disappeared and were put into her storage space.

All this happened in an instant, making it impossible to see her movements clearly.

At this time, Goudan and Su Yinan, who were leading the way, did not notice this magical scene.

When the three people arrived at the backyard, they found that there were indeed several small warehouses that looked quite hidden.

Sun Wan picked up a big axe and smashed it hard on the door lock. With a "click", the sturdy lock was finally broken. Then she walked in without hesitation.

Goudan and Su Yinan, who stayed outside the door, held the firecrackers tightly in their hands and remained highly alert. Once someone came, they could immediately throw the firecrackers over to create chaos and buy more time to escape.
