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

Sun Wan walked into the first small warehouse and took a look, and found that there were indeed many precious treasures stored there.

Some of the boxes were filled with shiny silver ingots, emitting an attractive luster.

She waved her hand again, and in the blink of an eye, all the treasures were put into her storage bag. The whole process was fast and secretive.

Then he went to another small storeroom next to it and smashed the door open with all his might. When he took a closer look, he saw that the room was filled with clothes and beddings that were usually used by the servants in the yard.

He reached out and touched the fabric and found that the fabric used for these clothes and bedding was quite good. Most of it was made of coarse cloth and cotton. It felt soft and comfortable, and was very suitable for their current needs.

Although silk is gorgeous and shiny, and looks very noble when worn, these practical and durable fabrics are more suitable for their current situation.

So Sun Wan waved her hand again and put all the clothes and bedding into the storage bag she carried with her.

In this way, Sun Wan, with her two children, rushed around the prefect's mansion and collected a lot of things that would be very useful in life.

Goudan cautiously reminded her, "Grandma Lanzhen, it's time for us to leave. I think Second Uncle and Uncle Zhang Kun are almost done fighting the soldiers. If we don't leave quickly, we might not be able to evacuate in time."

After hearing this, Sun Wan thought that it was indeed time to leave this place. She should quit while she was ahead and not continue to be greedy.

So she gave the order decisively and led the two children quickly towards the government office.

When the three of them hurried to the courtyard in front of the government office, Sun Wan was shocked by the scene before them.

I saw a group of men holding knives and sticks gathered here, obviously refugees on their way to escape.

They were surrounding the officers and soldiers who had been knocked down and were lying on the ground.

When Su Yousheng saw his mother coming back, he immediately went up to her and said, "Mom, it's great that you're back soon. Let's get out of here quickly."

Sun Wan nodded and then asked, "Then where is Zhang Kunren?"

Su Yousheng replied, "Zhang Kun has led a group of brothers to attack the guards at the city gate."

This is because many people who fled the area needed to exit through that gate to seek safety.

After thinking about this, Sun Wan hurriedly asked, "In that case, does he have enough explosives to support this operation?"

Su Yousheng said, "That's enough! We solved it pretty quickly here. These officers and soldiers were already quite drunk from eating meat and drinking wine that night. We dealt with them all without much effort."

When he said this, his voice rose slightly, and he was obviously a little proud of the smooth progress.

After saying that, he hurriedly added: "Mom, we have to leave quickly. I heard from a soldier that their reinforcements are coming soon."

Su Yousheng's expression suddenly became serious, his brows furrowed, and he looked very worried.

Sun Wan's original intention was not to eliminate these officers and soldiers, but just to save people and get some supplies. Now she has gained a lot.

She nodded, agreeing with her son's decision, while also thinking about her next move in her mind.

She said, "Let's go! Let's go quickly. Have all the people from Sujia Village come out?"

Her tone was firm and resolute, and her eyes revealed a resolute light.

Su Yousheng nodded: "They are all out, each one is very powerful!"

With a hint of pride on his face, he said, "Mother, we have searched these officers and soldiers and found a lot of silver and other things. I have stripped off their clothes and shoes."

As he spoke, he pointed to the pile of clothes and shoes scattered around.

When Sun Wan looked, she saw that the soldiers' clothes had been taken off, especially their shoes, which had all been taken away.

Her eyes swept around and finally stopped at the second brother's feet.

She looked down and found that the second brother had also changed into a pair of boots.

These boots look sturdy and durable, and should be able to protect my second child's little feet well.

"Alright! Let's go, get out of town!"

She waved her hand, urging everyone to leave quickly.

Goudan asked, "Grandma Lanzhen, aren't we going to go through the dog hole?"

The child looked confused and didn't seem to understand why the original plan was changed.

"No need to go in. We have to go through the city gate to see what the situation is like with your uncle Zhang Kun."

Sun Wan explained.

Despite the time pressure, I tried to answer his questions briefly so that he could understand the current situation.

Sun Wan turned around and saw the people from Sujia Village. Almost everyone was holding a horse.

She was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that they could obtain so many resources.

Su Yousheng said proudly: "Mom, we have seized all the horses of these officers and soldiers."

When he said this, his tone was full of pride.

Sun Wan smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go."

She looked at Su Yousheng with satisfaction, acknowledging his decisiveness and wit.

Su Yousheng shouted loudly: "Let's go, everyone, carry your food and set off!"

The sound was loud and clear, spreading throughout the entire venue.

Everyone immediately packed up their bags and started to follow him.

The guards from Sujia Village and the able-bodied men recruited from other fleeing groups discovered the large cafeteria in the government office.

Their eyes suddenly lit up. Although the food here was not as high-end as that at the prefect's house, it was already very satisfying for the refugees.

Everyone seemed to be silently saying in their hearts: Thank fate for favoring us, at least we can have a full meal during our escape.

Everyone was carrying some things on their backs, and some were even carrying a pot, which they probably lost on the way to escape.

These pots may carry all their belongings and are the only tools for cooking. Losing them means it will be difficult to survive.

Several people were pushing a cart piled high with sacks, pots, pans, and wooden barrels.

The heavy load made the cart creak on the uneven ground, and every step forward seemed extremely difficult, but people didn't care because they knew this might be their only way to survive.

Sun Wan held the two children's hands tightly and followed Su Yousheng quickly through the busy city.

In the darkness of the night, the two men were almost jogging, fearing that they would be caught up by some unknown danger.

Although the children were afraid, they followed closely because they knew that the adults' actions were to protect their safety.

There was a burst of banging noises in the middle of the night. Everyone in Ankang City closed their doors and windows tightly, and no one dared to look outside.

The silent night was suddenly broken by this sound, making everyone hiding in the house terrified, wondering if something unexpected was about to happen again.

They ran very fast and soon arrived at the city gate.

Under the moonlight, the city gate was vaguely visible, and ahead was a dark unknown area, but it was much better than staying in this city full of fear.

At this time, the situation at the city gate was also one-sided. More than a dozen guards had been tied up and thrown aside, their lives or deaths unknown.
