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

"Huh?" Perhaps sensing something was wrong, the third brother, who was walking at the back, suddenly stopped talking and laughing, looked forward in confusion, but found nothing unusual.

"Is it possible that I'm dazzled?" The third brother became inexplicably irritated and pushed Sun Wan impatiently: "Hurry up!"

This push made Sun Wan lose her balance and she fell flat on her back.

"Ouch! You bitch, you did it on purpose!" The third brother cursed and raised his leg to kick Sun Wan.

But just as he got closer, he saw a flash of cold light, and a hatchet suddenly stabbed out from Sun Wan's hand, instantly piercing through his fleshy face and going straight to his heart.

Everything happened so fast that even the accomplices behind him couldn't see what was happening. Everything went black before their eyes, and then there was the sound of bones breaking.

Before he died, he suddenly realized: it turned out that the third brother was ambushed by that woman.

Sun Wan was gasping for air, her hand holding the knife turned white from excessive force. She pulled out the knife suddenly, staggered backward, and fled the scene.

She didn't dare look back and ran for several miles along the way she came until she was exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

Recalling the thrilling scene just now, Sun Wan closed her eyes tightly.

Those two people had countless innocent people's blood on their hands. What she did was to get rid of this evil for the people!

After repeating this sentence in her mind for a long time, Sun Wan finally managed to get up.

She took out a strip of cloth from her personal space, tore it open, and carefully sorted and wrapped the various medicinal herbs. She then randomly packed the remaining mixed herbs into a bag and left it for the village chief to identify.

After finishing the work, Sun Wan carried the herbs and returned along the same route to find the village chief.

Not long after walking, I saw the figure of the village chief who was waiting eagerly.

Sun Wan gathered herself together and walked towards the village chief with forced composure: "Village chief..."

Before she could finish, the village chief nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that these people really know how to plan ahead."

"Not only in the city, but also among the soldiers under my command, each has his own calculations. They even hid so many medicinal herbs outside this city."

"God is really helping me."

Sun Wan's prepared excuses were all stuck in her throat, but the village chief remained calm, with deep and kind eyes, looking at her as if she were his own daughter.

"Village chief..." Sun Wan felt warm in her heart and opened her mouth to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

But the village chief didn't need her explanation.

"Let's go, the villagers are still waiting for these medicines to save their lives!"

"Yes!" Sun Wan nodded heavily, supported the village chief, and hurried to the village.

In an ordinary house in Nanshi, the gatekeeper finally couldn't help but yawn loudly: "I say, didn't the boss take a bit too long in there this time?"

"Don't look at that girl's frailty; she might actually be quite capable!" someone nearby chimed in, drawing a chuckle. But the older man in the group seemed to sense something was amiss.

"Why do I feel like the boss has fallen asleep? Why is there no sound at all?" he muttered.

"Huh?" After this reminder, others also began to feel that something was wrong.

"Yeah, boss, there's always a lot of noise and commotion in the past. Why is it so quiet today?"

"Could it be that he is really enjoying the service of that young lady and is catching up on his sleep?"

"Don't talk nonsense, could something... happen?"

"You're asking for a fight! If the boss hears, he'll definitely skin you alive!"

"Wait, this is not right!" The eldest brother who first became suspicious said with a serious expression. He suddenly drew his knife, stepped forward quickly, and whispered to the door with his ear close to his ear: "Boss? Are you okay?"

There was silence inside the door, no response at all.

When everyone saw this, their faces changed slightly and they all moved closer.

The man swallowed, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Boss, I'm sorry!"

Then he kicked the door open with a bang.

The scene behind the door made everyone gasp - there was no weak woman there, only a cold, hard corpse!

"Boss!" Terror and wailing suddenly filled the entire house.

The culprit behind this tragedy had already fled to the woods outside the city.

Yan Senyue kicked away the annoying thing beside him, picked up a hatchet that was everywhere, and immediately recognized that it was an ordinary item from Darong Village.

The styles of hatchets vary from village to village and are made by local carpenters at will.

He carefully examined the knife marks and found that they were caused by a close-range attack.

The knife wound was deep and messy, revealing the murderer's panic and helplessness when he committed the crime for the first time.

Yan Senyue kicked the corpse away and followed the scattered blood and flesh on the ground to a huge rock.

Dark red blood spread from under the stone, and rags and incomplete limbs were faintly visible.

Judging from the amount of blood, the victim was obviously crushed to death.

Strangely, there were no signs of the boulder being moved around, but not far away, the place where the boulder should have been placed was found.

"Interesting." Yan Senyue curled his lips into a sneer.

This doesn't look like a crime committed by humans. It's more like a monster lifting a huge rock from the air and smashing people to death.

After looking around, he dragged the body to a huge rock, took out a tinder from his bosom and lit it. Soon, a raging flame burned around the rock.

Everything was arranged, and Yan Senyue stretched out his body and disappeared into the dense forest.

……

On the other side, the village chief and Sun Wan returned safely to Jizhou City. They hurried across the street and knocked on the door of a house in the city.

Xiao Fuzi heard the noise and came out in surprise: "Grandpa, Aunt Sun!"

Sun Wan quickly made a silent gesture, helped the village chief into the courtyard, and quickly untied the bag on her back: "The herbs have been found!"

Several villagers who were still able to move hurriedly gathered around, and the village chief did not hesitate to sort out a few herbs and gave them to everyone to boil.

Soon, the dying patients in the house took the medicine one after another, and those who were not sick also drank a bowl of tonic medicine just in case.

Xiao Fuzi swallowed the bitterness in his mouth, looked at the village chief with admiration and said, "Grandpa, you guys are amazing. You actually got the medicinal herbs!"

The village chief smiled and rubbed his head: "This is all Aunt Sun's ability. I am just lending a hand."

"Wow!"

Xiao Fuzi exclaimed in amazement, turned around and looked at Sun Wan expectantly: "Aunt Sun, how did you do it?"

"Xiao Fuzi also wants to learn this trick!"

Sun Wan smiled helplessly.

She stroked Xiao Fuzi's smooth forehead and said, "My boy, the most important thing now is to eat more and grow stronger first!"

"When you grow up to be as tall and mighty as Big Bull, I will tell you the secret."

When Xiao Fuzi heard this, she immediately became like a deflated ball. She pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Doesn't that mean there's no hope for me in this life?"

As he spoke, he pinched his thin arm.

Everyone around couldn't help laughing.

After taking the medicine, the village chief took everyone's pulse again. This time his expression was obviously much more relaxed.

"Fortunately, this epidemic isn't too severe. If it were like the one in the third year of Jianyuan, even a true god wouldn't be able to help."

Xiao Fuzi asked curiously, "The third year of Jianyuan? I wasn't even born then. Did you experience that epidemic back then, Grandpa?"
