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

After exchanging glances, many guys brandished their swords and charged forward again.

But as soon as they got closer, several long iron rods stretched out from the cave.

These guys smiled and tried to repeat their old tricks, reaching out to grab the iron bars.

"Ouch!"

Anyone who could stretch out their hands screamed in pain, jumping and shaking off the iron rods as if they were being chased by a ghost. When they looked at their hands again, their skin was already scorched red, and they could even faintly smell the smell of burnt flesh.

"Hahaha!"

Merciless laughter came from inside the cave.

These guys were completely enraged.

This time, even Zhu Zhennan didn't need to urge them, and a group of people rushed into the cave like crazy.

But this time, before they could engage in close combat with the people in the cave, they were splashed with boiling water.

Several people were unable to dodge and were burned to death. Then, several iron rods attacked again, "puff puff", and directly stabbed into their chests.

"Bang bang bang!"

They fell to the ground and died before they could even get close to the cave.

It turned out that after the first round of melee, Sun Wan immediately realized the gap between them and these thugs.

That is, there is no chance of winning in a hand-to-hand fight with this group of thugs who usually bully men and women.

In that case, don't let them get close!

Zhu Xiuqin and others were desperately adding firewood to boil water, while Xiao Fuzi and others were busy running back and forth to make the iron rods burn red. Su Rongze, Zhang Daniu and others also picked up iron rods and dealt with those thugs one by one.

Everyone was so busy that they naturally didn't notice that the bucket that should have been empty still had water, and the firewood that should have been burned out still had water.

While Sun Wan was paying attention to the battle situation at the cave entrance, she quietly added water and firewood.

It’s a pity that she didn’t bring enough quicklime, otherwise with this stuff, they would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort!

Buckets of hot water poured down, and with the red-hot iron rod, soon, people outside the cave no longer dared to come near.

Most of them were seriously injured, and their wailing mixed with the sound of rain made people's backs chill.

"Brother, let's...let's retreat!"

Finally, one of the frightened men spoke tremblingly, his face full of fear: "We've met a tough nut to crack! They're all crazy!"

"Brothers are all dead or wounded. Big brother, let's retreat!"

The other brothers also echoed: "Yes, big brother, as long as the green mountains are there, there is no fear of running out of firewood!"

"These guys can't hide in the cave forever. We might as well wait outside the mountain. Once they show their heads, we can find an open area. Our chances of winning will be much better!"

Everyone was talking to each other, and the last bit of stubbornness in Zhu Zhennan's heart began to waver.

Looking at his subordinates who were still groaning in pain, Zhu Zhennan finally raised his head and sighed, his shoulders drooping dejectedly: "Retreat!"

As for the ambush outside the mountain mentioned by his brothers, Zhu Zhennan just ignored it.

What a joke! The mountains surrounding Lushui County are rolling and the roads in the mountains are complicated. Let alone a few gangsters like them, even if thousands of troops went in, it would be like sinking into the sea!

These guys are so hateful. They took his things, but he can't do anything about it!

Zhu Zhennan looked deeply at the cave, his eyes burning with anger.

But then again, the brothers are not completely unreasonable.

As long as there are people, there is hope.

This group of people who looted the county government office obviously had bad intentions. In this chaotic world, they will meet again sooner or later.

At that time, Zhu Zhennan will definitely take back everything that belongs to him!

After venting his anger, Zhu Zhennan no longer hesitated. He called on the brothers who were still able to move to carry the seriously injured first and evacuate vigilantly and quickly.

Inside the cave, everyone stared intently outside, not relaxing until they were sure those people had completely disappeared.

"They... escaped?" Zhang Daniu asked hesitantly, looking at Sun Wan for confirmation.

Sun Wan stared at it for a moment, still unsure: "Don't act rashly. What if they set a trap to lure us out?"

"Keep the fire and defenses up. Boss, you and Dazhuang take the uninjured ones to guard here. If anything unusual happens, stop immediately!"

The two nodded immediately.

Sun Wanze quickly walked to the depths of the cave and squatted anxiously beside the injured villager.

Those people were ruthless and arrogant in their daily actions. Compared with the villagers who only knew how to farm, each of their attacks was more deadly.

Looking at the wounds of varying depths and bleeding on everyone's bodies, Sun Wan felt troubled. Even though she had lived a new life, she still had no idea how to deal with the injuries.

"Madam Zhou, don't panic. These are just superficial injuries and can be cured."

Suddenly, the village chief behind him coughed lightly and slowly approached.

Sun Wan thought of the still unconscious Xiao Fuzi, and her suspicions grew stronger. Finally, she couldn't help but whisper, "Village Chief, do you know any medicine?"

The village chief sighed, his cloudy eyes seemed to penetrate time, and finally turned into a wry smile: "I wanted to hide it forever, but it has come to this point, my conscience really can't let it go."

Apart from this, the village chief did not say anything more. Although everyone was curious, they did not want to ask any further questions.

The village chief carefully lifted up Liu Laifu, who was the most seriously injured, and after examining him, he said, "Rongze, come here now!"

Su Rongze hurried over. The village chief looked at him with a serious expression, unusual for him: "Rongze, I need some herbs now. Do you dare to go and gather them?"

Su Rongze was slightly stunned, then nodded quickly: "You say!"

"There might be those guys lying in ambush outside. It's very dangerous, so are you willing to go?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Su Rongze's face, but was quickly interrupted by the weak groan of the wounded lying on the ground. He gritted his teeth and said, "I do!"

"I'm very agile. As long as you're careful, you'll be fine."

The village chief nodded in satisfaction, a fleeting trace of confusion flashing across his face, a subtle change that was difficult for others to grasp. But this subtle change did not escape Sun Wan's eyes.

She pondered for a moment and decided not to interrupt the village chief's arrangements. She said obediently, "Okay, if you think I'm brave, I'll go pick some Panax notoginseng.

The leaves of that thing are as wide as the palm of your hand, and it is currently blooming and bearing fruit. The fruits are densely packed together, red like blood, and are quite easy to recognize.

"But Panax notoginseng likes shade and moisture, and often grows in the crevices on the back of the mountain. You have to remember this," the village chief warned.

Su Rongze nodded vigorously and responded firmly: "Don't worry, I remember it clearly!"

After saying that, he rushed into the pouring rain with his big umbrella.

Sun Wan followed him almost instinctively. Seeing that the village chief did not stop him, she quickly put on her raincoat and hurriedly followed him.

The people in the cave looked at each other in confusion. Zhu Xiuqin spoke first, "Village Chief, why did you send Sister Sun and Rongze?"

"Why don't you wait until the rain is lighter before going?" she asked again.

The village chief shook his head and pointed to the most seriously injured person on the ground: "Laifu, he can't wait any longer."
