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

The third brother pointed his finger at Sun Wan, frightening her so much that her legs went weak: "Master, I, I really can't do this!"

"Let's not even mention that Fuhu Mountain is 20 to 30 miles away from here. Even if we got there, the Shangguo grass grows in the middle of the cliff. At least someone would have to use a rope to lower it down to pick it."

"Ordinary herbal farmers wouldn't dare to go there. Only close relatives would dare to try it!"

The third brother had no sympathy for them and tutted impatiently, "Aren't you just father and daughter?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Go dig herbs for me!"

The third brother grabbed Sun Wan like a hungry eagle hunting for prey, and at the same time ordered his men to restrain the old village chief, pushing and shoving the two of them towards Fuhu Mountain.

The noise in the yard soon alarmed Zhu Zhennan.

He waved his hand, and a follower came running over and reported the situation in detail.

When he learned that they were going to dig medicinal herbs, Zhu Zhennan immediately lost interest in learning more.

But his gaze stopped at the room where the village chief and his companions had left, and a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.

"Were all three of them captured by the third brother?"

When the minion heard this and looked at his expression, he could no longer help but understand.

He immediately chuckled twice and said in a low voice, "Not only that, there is also a beautiful lady in the room!"

"Boss, do you want to personally interrogate that young lady?"

Zhu Zhennan cast an approving look at the little minion, coughed lightly, straightened his collar, and said in a serious tone, "Well, that's all."

"But the young lady is not feeling well, so please don't be too rough or you might scare her."

"As ordered!"

The minion retreated meaningfully and turned to go into the house to find Yan Senyue.

"Hey! Young lady, our boss wants to ask you for help!"

Yan Senyue raised his eyes and stared quietly at the rogue in front of him.

Somehow, when she glanced at him with such a cold gaze, the little minion who had been so arrogant just now suddenly felt a chill inexplicably.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"

He cursed in a bluffing manner, and immediately stepped forward to pull Yan Senyue's clothes.

Yan Senyue did not resist, but obediently followed him into Zhu Zhennan's room.

"Boss, people are here."

The minion flatteringly pushed Yan Senyue into the house, then considerately closed the door and left.

After seeing this scene, the people in the yard exchanged knowing glances with each other.

Indoors, Zhu Zhennan completely threw away all disguises.

He looked at Yan Senyue's handsome face, and the more he looked, the more he felt like ants were crawling in his heart, making him feel itchy and uncomfortable.

Especially when Yan Senyue stared at him with a stern face, his heart felt as if it was being roasted by fire, warming up.

"Hey, little girl, are you feeling better from your cold?" Zhu Zhennan opened his shirt and approached Yan Senyue with a malicious look on his face.

"How about I take a closer look?"

Before he could finish his words, his hand just touched Yan Senyue's face when a bamboo tube was quietly pressed against his waist.

"Well!"

In an instant, countless silver needles exploded like heavy rain, and in the blink of an eye, the man with a head full of evil thoughts was pierced into honeycomb coal.

He didn't even have time to hum before Yan Senyue stuffed all the air back into his stomach.

"Oh!"

There was a dull thud of a heavy object falling to the ground. The guard at the door frowned and was about to ask something when the younger brother next to him tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Mind your own business. Our boss likes this kind of girl who fainted."

Upon hearing this, the two men smiled at each other and continued to stand guard seriously, but their ears were perked up, paying attention to the movements in the house.

Yan Senyue naturally heard their muttering.

She sneered, kicked the lifeless Zhu Zhennan aside, and as light as a swallow, she escaped from this filthy place with a few nimble leaps.

Only Zhu Zhennan was left staring with a pair of unwilling eyes.

……

Under the threat of a knife, the village chief and Sun Wan staggered towards Fuhu Mountain.

The wolf behind her threatened her from time to time, but Sun Wan's heart unexpectedly calmed down a little.

Perhaps because one was an elderly man and the other was a weak woman, the group only sent two guards.

Moreover, the two men did not seem to take them seriously. Apart from ordering them to walk in front, they chatted leisurely in the back.

Sun Wan observed secretly until the four of them walked out of Jizhou City and into the suburbs.

The surroundings became increasingly desolate.

The village chief's back became more hunched and his steps became more and more unsteady.

The third brother was about to urge him impatiently, but he saw the village chief fall straight forward.

"father!"

Sun Wan screamed and quickly supported the old village chief, but even so, the two of them fell heavily to the ground.

The old village chief coughed violently and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The third brother and the other two were frightened and quickly retreated!

"what happened!"

Sun Wan hugged the unconscious village chief and cried bitterly: "I'm afraid my father has contracted the plague!"

"Master Jun, please save my father too!"

Sun Wan grabbed the corners of their clothes and cried, but she didn't expect that they were even more panicked than her, and they retreated repeatedly as if they had encountered a ghost.

"This old man is so stubborn. He died before he could even collect the herbs!"

"Third brother, what should we do now? This old guy has the plague, we dare not get too close!"

The third brother was speechless for a moment and smacked his lips irritably: "Damn it."

"Don't worry about this old guy. Let's catch that woman first. We have to get the medicine first no matter what. We can worry about their life and death later!"

After saying that, the third brother suppressed his disgust and swung his knife fiercely, "You stinky bitch, get out of here!"

"If you get infected later, I'll kill you both!"

Sun Wan's heart tightened. She didn't dare to delay and quickly let go of the village chief. She took advantage of the momentum and pushed away, avoiding the sharp blade that was chopping towards the village chief.

The village chief fell limply to the ground, without a sound.

"father!"

"Why are you howling? It's almost dark, hurry up and pick some herbs!"

"If you don't collect the herbs before sunset, both of you will be buried with me!" the third brother cursed.

When Sun Wan heard this, she was so frightened that her whole body was shaking, tears were streaming down her face, and she crawled out of the ground crying, looking back every step of the way as she rushed towards Fuhu Mountain.

After the three figures disappeared, the village chief, who seemed to be lifeless, suddenly opened his eyes, coughed a few times, covered his injured tongue with his hand, and struggled to get up from the ground.

He followed Sun Wan and the others' receding backs, his eyes filled with deep worry about the future.

As for Sun Wan, her uneasiness was relieved a lot.

When the village chief was around, she always had many concerns and her hands and feet were tied.

But now it was just her and the two villains, and her mind began to become active, and the opportunity had come.

They walked hurriedly and soon entered a dense grove.

Sun Wan took the lead, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, a large rock came into her sight.

Sun Wan stared at the stone and tilted her head slightly. She found that the two people behind her were joking and telling some obscene jokes. They obviously didn't notice the changes around them.

There seemed to be ripples in the air, and the place where the big rock was was quietly empty.
