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

The village chief smiled and nodded. "Yes, but Grandpa was still young at that time. I only remember that almost all the villagers were killed or injured."

Xiao Fuzi was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth.

The village chief rubbed his head again and said, "Go boil some hot water and wipe everyone down."

Xiao Fuzi obediently turned around and left.

Just then, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Sun Wan was about to open the door when she saw a figure lightly jumping down from the wall.

Sun Wan was stunned.

Looking at Yan Senyue's calm expression, Sun Wan felt that he seemed less and less willing to hide anything.

When Yan Senyue saw Sun Wan, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

She curled her lips into a smile and sniffed the herbal scent in the air: "I was still worried about your safety, but I didn't expect you to act faster than me."

"But aren't these herbs... in that den of thieves? Aunt Sun, have you made another trip?"

Sun Wan remained calm and simply repeated the village chief's words.

"So that's how it is..." Yan Senyue looked as if she had suddenly understood. She picked up a piece of Poria cocos curiously and smelled it: "The medicinal material is of good quality."

"Those two little thieves do have some foresight."

Sun Wan didn't know how to respond for a moment.

In line with the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, Sun Wan pursed her lips and did not respond.

Yan Senyue didn't seem to want to delve into it any further. He found a place to sit down, holding his chin and watching the busy figures of the crowd.

Sun Wan was not sure whether she had been fooled, so she turned around and quietly asked the village chief how to solve the food problem.

The village chief was still pondering, but Yan Senyue interrupted with interest: "I know where those people hid the food."

"After I escaped, I wandered around the area and found it in the yard of the two houses next door."

"Aunt Sun, they are leaderless and in chaos right now. Do you want to go and get some benefits together?"

Sun Wan felt excited when she heard this.

It was far from enough to provide food for dozens of people by just stealing occasionally, so she had to find a legitimate way.

She nodded immediately: "Of course that couldn't be better!"

"If it's just the two of us, we won't have enough hands; if there are more people, we're afraid the noise will be too loud and alarm the other party."

After all, most of the villagers are sick, and those scoundrels are armed with sharp blades and look ferocious. It is not wise to confront them head-on."

Sun Wan pondered for a moment and said, "Why not secretly get some back for emergency use? Maybe there will be a turning point in the future."

Yan Senyue smiled lightly: "That makes sense."

She stood up and looked at Sun Wan with a determined look: "There is no time to lose, Sister Sun, let's take action!"

Sun Wan readily agreed, and after a brief nod to the village chief and others, she followed Yan Senyue out.

The two men covered their faces and walked quickly, and soon arrived at the courtyard mentioned by Yan Senyue.

The place where the Western Zhao army was stationed was still in chaos, with cries and shouts coming one after another.

Nearing the door, Yan Senyue suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "Take as much as you can. I'll keep watch outside for you!"

After saying that, he gently pushed the door and Sun Wan walked in.

This was exactly what Sun Wan wanted. She quickly sneaked into the yard and saw that the house was full of food.

Some of the rice and flour bags were stained with blood.

"These damn villains!"

Sun Wan cursed inwardly, avoided the blood-stained bags, turned to the clean ones nearby and began to deliver them into her secret space.

But the rice bag didn't move at all.

Sun Wan was stunned and blinked hard, but still no response.

She began to get anxious and hurried forward to try to move it into the space manually, but the space that could usually be opened with a thought now had no response no matter how she called!

Sun Wan's heart sank suddenly.

She hurriedly wiped the sweat from her forehead and tried to take the things out of the space, but failed.

Could it be that this space actually hides secrets? !

Sun Wan was suddenly confused and turned her head inadvertently, catching a glimpse of an unusual shadow from the corner of her eye.

When I looked at the shadow against the light, it was clear that someone was peeping outside the window!

Cold sweat immediately soaked Sun Wan's back.

She forced herself to remain calm and restrain her body from trembling.

No wonder the space malfunctioned, it turned out there was someone outside!

At this moment, Sun Wan was full of gratitude for this space that "broke down at the critical moment". Otherwise, her secret might have been exposed long ago!

After calming down, Sun Wan picked up two large bags, tied them on her back, and carried two bags in each hand.

Although I feel sad that I cannot store all of it, I am lucky to have escaped this disaster.

Carrying four large bags of food on her shoulders, Sun Wan looked up and saw Yan Senyue: "Senyue, do you want to share two bags?"

Yan Senyue looked Sun Wan up and down, a smile on his face: "That's fine."

She walked into the house and picked up two bags easily: "Let's go, Sister Sun."

"Without their leader, they will probably scatter soon and seek their own way out."

"These grains might cause a lot of fighting."

Sun Wan nodded in agreement and quickly left this dangerous place with Yan Senyue.

Three bags of food were left for the villagers, and Sun Wan carried the remaining three bags and headed towards the suburbs.

This time, she was alone.

On the way, Sun Wan repeatedly tried to activate the space, and this time, the space returned to normal operation.

It seems that Yan Senyue is no longer vigilant after that "test".

Even so, Sun Wan did not dare to be careless.

Her secret has been known to the village chief, and no third person must know it...

The village chief has been upright all his life. He is short but energetic. She trusts him very much, but she always has some hesitation in her heart about the woman named Yan Senyue.

Yan Senyue, every time this name passed through Sun Wan's mind, it would inexplicably bring her a hint of worry.

In Sun Wan's eyes, the seemingly innocent Miss Sen Yue was like an unnoticeable bamboo green snake in the bamboo forest, hiding unknown dangers.

After the space failure incident, Sun Wan's defenses became stronger. She needed an impeccable reason to distribute food with peace of mind.

Walking on the road, Sun Wan's mind was full of thoughts about how to find food, and she didn't realize that she had stepped into the edge of the city.

Suddenly, she stopped and fixed her eyes on the familiar dense forest in the distance.

After a moment's hesitation, she returned to the place where the two scoundrels died.

Arriving at the scene, Sun Wan's heart suddenly tightened—

The huge stone was charred all around, obviously having been burned!

A skeleton could be vaguely seen in the burnt marks, and the bloody and mangled scene that should have existed under the boulder had disappeared without a trace!

Someone has been here!

Sun Wan's heart was beating like a drum, and the figure of Yan Senyue immediately appeared in her mind.

Only she knew the whereabouts of herself and the village chief. Only she, when faced with such a strange situation, was not only fearless, but calmly set everything on fire.

It turned out that Yan Senyue's active approach and peeping from behind were all premeditated.

Sun Wan took a deep breath and tried to summon the space. This time it appeared successfully, which meant that there was no one else around.

She stood there for a long time, and after her mood gradually calmed down, she turned around and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, just as they reached the edge of the woods, they heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves approaching in the distance, accompanied by the sound of fierce fighting.

Sun Wan's expression suddenly changed and she quickly hid in the nearby bushes.

The sharp branches pricked her skin, but she ignored the pain and buried her head deeper.
