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

After the generals had their feast,

Of course, there were also those beasts who didn't know the situation and, drunken, pounced on the pile of corpses again.

In the dungeon, the sounds of vomiting were heard one after another. No one could bear to watch and turned around to avoid these beasts.

Finally, when everyone was satisfied, the only people left in the yard were the silent women and the drunken and sleeping men.

Sun Wan slowly opened her eyes.

I looked around and found that no one was asleep.

She used a sharp knife to quickly cut the restraints and turned around to help everyone untie the ropes.

The group from Darong Village tried to make as little noise as possible, but still alarmed the prisoners in the nearby dungeon.

In the darkness, several pairs of eyes watched quietly, but no one spoke.

Soon, all of their ropes were untied.

Zhang Daniu and others approached the dungeon door quietly, suddenly shot arrows, wrapped ropes around the necks of the two guards, and pulled hard, ending their lives completely.

The key passed silently from the guard's body to his hand, and the heavy dungeon door groaned open a crack.

The dungeons around them began to stir.

Sun Wan brought up the rear, waving for everyone to follow. As she passed the adjacent dungeon, she flicked her wrist slightly, and the tiny blade and the guard's key slid into the next cell.

There were immediately two hands that took over hope and quietly cut off the shackles that bound her.

Figures fled from the darkness one by one, but only the beating of hearts could be heard in the night, and everyone held their breath, fearing that they would disturb the drunken beast.

This was Sun Wan's careful planning.

It is difficult to avoid being seen while escaping. If you try to keep yourself safe, you will only attract the red eyes and shouts of others. Once you are exposed, there is only one way to go, and that is death.

On the contrary, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. When everyone walks together, it becomes more difficult for the enemy to capture them.

During the afternoon escort, Sun Wan carefully memorized the route and led everyone to run along the wall towards freedom.

The team gasped for breath, not daring to stop for a moment, and followed Sun Wan's back with their heads down.

Suddenly, a terrified roar came from behind: "These evil beasts have escaped!"

Everyone's heart palpitated, and they stumbled and fell. Sun Wan shouted, "Run!"

As the voice fell, people moved. Sun Wan stepped forward and rushed towards the side door of the prefectural mansion regardless of everything.

As they approached the door, two soldiers startled by the noise stumbled to their feet, knife-wielding, trying to stop them.

Zhang Daniu was enraged and rushed forward. He grabbed the soldier's throat with his iron-like hands and killed him.

Another soldier was also subdued by the crowd after their sword was taken away.

"Don't fight, just go!"

Sun Wan urged them urgently, but no one turned back and they ran through the streets and alleys like rabbits out of a cage.

The noise from the prefectural government gradually faded away, and soldiers with torches like dragons filled the streets, searching urgently.

Everyone's legs felt as if they were filled with lead, and they leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, looking at Sun Wan for help.

Sun Wan was also exhausted, with dull pain in her chest and ribs.

She wanted to find a house to take shelter temporarily, but unexpectedly, a few steps away, the door on the left was slightly open.

A very familiar face poked out: "Come in!"

Yan Senyue's voice at this moment was like the sound of nature.

Everyone was ecstatic and rushed into the house.

The house turned out to be the backyard of a medicine shop, with herbs scattered all over the ground.

Yan Senyue's face was pale, and there was a trace of blood on his left arm: "There is a cellar here, we can hide for a while."

"The defenders of Lucheng mutinied, and the entire city fell. Their food and supplies were swept away by the governor. They won't be able to hold out for a few days."

"Wait until they leave, then we'll find a way out."

Yan Senyue quickly described the situation in the city and led everyone to the cellar.

After confirming that everyone was inside, Yan Senyue turned back to clear away any traces to ensure that everything was safe.

After finishing the task, Yan Senyue returned to the cellar.

With the door closed and in darkness, Sun Wan and the others finally felt at ease.

Everyone sat down helplessly, their heavy breathing mixed with relief at having survived the disaster.

"Shh..."

The tiny candlelight leaped and everyone couldn't help but squint their eyes. The light cut through the darkness, making their eyes moist.

Yan Senyue placed the oil lamp on the corner of the table, and the herbs scattered on the table came into everyone's sight.

The village chief hurried forward and carefully identified the herbs. He nodded in approval, "These are all needed for external injuries. Sen Yue, you actually know medicine?"

"Just a quick taste." Yan Senyue said calmly, pushing the herbs towards Su Rongze, "This will be good for your injury."

Turning to look at Sun Wan, she continued, "I observed Su Guiying's injuries from afar, and I'm afraid the situation isn't optimistic. Most of the medicinal herbs here have been destroyed, and this is all I can find."

Sun Wan hurriedly shook her head and said firmly: "My heart is warm enough. Guiying looks weak, but I firmly believe that she can get through this difficult time."

After saying this, she hugged her unconscious daughter tightly, and lovingly stroked her daughter's lips with her hand. A few drops of precious spiritual spring water quietly slipped into her daughter's mouth.

Su Rongze quickly stood up to express his gratitude and turned to the village chief for help.

The village chief nodded, and he immediately took the herbs to the side, crushed them vigorously, and applied them on the wound.

Seeing Yan Senyue's face was slightly pale, the village chief's eyes swept across her bloodstained arm: "Can I check your injuries?"

Yan Senyue raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and showed his palm upwards: "Thank you for your help, senior."

After taking the pulse, the village chief finally let go, his brows furrowed, "Strange."

"When I took your pulse last time, you were obviously weak. How come you're feeling so much better now?"

Yan Senyue seemed to have anticipated this: "Perhaps by being with everyone, working harder and moving more, my body will gradually become stronger."

The village chief nodded slowly, agreeing with this statement.

After all, the frail health of many daughters of wealthy families is mostly due to excessive comfort, laziness and lack of exercise.

After the pulse diagnosis, the air fell silent again. This disaster not only caused casualties, but more seriously, all the food was destroyed.

Everyone was wearing old clothes, smelling of sweat, and huddled together in the corner for warmth.

Their precious rabbit fur coats had long been taken away by the soldiers, leaving only tattered clothes.

It was a rough night. I was hungry and cold, and I barely had the energy to talk.

The compound had been raided twice by rebels the previous night, but fortunately the cellar had not been discovered.

Despite this, fear still makes many people feel dizzy.

The next morning, Sun Wan took the initiative to go out to find a way out.

Although everyone strongly opposed it, they could not change Sun Wan's determination.

"If we sit here, we'll end up in the cellar together. Only by getting out can we have hope."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll be back in a quarter of an hour at most."

After saying this, Sun Wan resolutely left the cellar.

As soon as she came out of the cellar, she was hit by a cold wind and shivered. She quickly changed into the rabbit fur coat in the space.

Then, she took out the dried meat that had been dried earlier and started to eat it with the spiritual spring water.

After a few mouthfuls of food, my body gradually warmed up.

While chewing, Sun Wan sighed with satisfaction. After stroking her abdomen, she vigilantly surveyed the yard.

Just as Yan Senyue said, the medicinal materials in the pharmacy were almost looted, and the few remaining ones were trampled and damaged, which was a horrible sight.

Sun Wan walked around and quietly approached the gate, peeking through the crack in the door to see what was happening outside.

Rebels were walking around in the streets, mixed with a few captured refugees. The bloodstains on the ground had doubled compared to yesterday, making them particularly eye-catching.
