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

Soon, a group of riders came roaring over.

Sun Wan carefully identified that the group of people were exactly Zhu Zhennan's brothers.

But things are different now. They are no longer close to each other, but have split into two factions, each carrying food.

The team in the front row not only had sufficient food, but was also surrounded by two large carts loaded with food.

Seeing the cart full of grain, Sun Wan couldn't help but feel a desire in her heart.

The two teams, which were slow due to carrying heavy loads, met on a narrow road in the dense forest.

"Old Five! You're such a treacherous wretch! Big Brother just left and you're already betraying everyone! How despicable!"

The people in the back line were cursing, and the people in the front line were not willing to be outdone: "I say, Second Brother, stop pretending!"

"It's your men who are dishonest. We brothers are waiting for the rice to be cooked, but you ordered them to take away all the medicinal materials!"

"You bastard, if you don't leave me a way to live, I won't let you have an easy time either!"

"Nonsense! It was clearly you who stole the herbs, and now you're framing me!"

Sun Wan, who was innocently blamed: "..."

It turns out that the reason these people suddenly turned against each other was actually because of me?!

Sun Wan felt no guilt, and even found it a little funny, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

Over there, the two teams said nothing more, drew their swords and faced each other, fighting.

For a moment, the sound of fighting was deafening.

Sun Wan hid quietly, and the battle came to an end after about an hour.

In the end, the fifth brother's team gained the upper hand. Except for a few who saw the opportunity and ran away, most of the second brother's men fell in the grove.

Lao Wu's side suffered heavy losses, losing more than half of his able-bodied men.

Of the ten or so people left, half were injured and seriously wounded.

When Sun Wan saw this scene, her heart tightened.

Watching the dozen or so people gritting their teeth and pushing the heavy grain carts northward, Sun Wan hid in the bushes and stayed there for a while.

When he was able to open the space and threw all the food in, he jumped up and ran towards the Darong Village settlement.

About a quarter of an hour later, a reed marsh came into view in the distance. She took out food from the space and trotted into the vast reeds.

"Aunt Sun is here!"

When everyone saw Sun Wan returning, those who stayed behind stood up in surprise.

When he saw the three full bags of grain, his eyes lit up and he was ecstatic.

Sun Wan didn't have time to greet everyone. She took a breath and said hurriedly, "Quick! Leave two people to guard the house, and the rest of you follow me!"

"There's a lot of food waiting for us to get!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and ran away, followed by everyone.

Sun Wan vaguely remembered the whereabouts of the Xizhao army and led the villagers of Darong in relentless pursuit until nightfall, when they finally caught up with the Xizhao army.

Fortunately, everyone was injured and pushed the cart, so it didn't go too far!

By the lake, a dozen horses stood quietly to rest, and the rogues sat around the campfire, chewing dry food and hastily bandaging their wounds.

"Several of our brothers are seriously injured. We need to find a good doctor."

"That damned second brother didn't even know where he hid the medicine!"

Lao Wu took a bite of the pancake, his eyes cold and fierce.

When the other brothers heard this, their faces also became gloomy.

Sun Wan and others secretly observed for a long time until late at night, when this group of people could no longer bear the stress and fell into a deep sleep. Only then did she signal for action.

Chi Dong led his men and quietly approached. While the night watchman was very sleepy, he suddenly stepped forward, covered his mouth, and twisted it hard.

To prevent his struggle from alarming others, the remaining two people rushed over and pinned him to the ground.

Soon, the night watchman fell silent.

Chi Dong took the big knife from his waist, and several people walked towards the sleeping rogues, raised their knives and slashed them, sending them on their way cleanly and neatly.

After confirming that no one was alive, Chi Dong waved towards where Sun Wan and the others were hiding.

Chi Xi rushed out excitedly and whispered, "Brother, you are really good!"

Aunt Chi looked at her son with satisfaction.

Chi Dong's face turned slightly red, and the people around him also smiled kindly.

Sun Wan walked to the grain cart and took a closer look. Except for a few bags of rice and flour stained with blood, the rest were intact.

As for things stained with blood, everyone thought they could just be thrown away.

There is enough food and grass now. If I had been so hungry and dizzy a few days ago, I would have swallowed it even if it was covered in dirt, not to mention blood!

Er Quezi's words made everyone feel nauseous, and they all started scolding him: "You better keep your mouth shut! If Xiuqin were here, she would definitely get angry with you!"

When Zhu Xiuqin was mentioned, Erquezi couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"That tigress, I don't need to compete with her..."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they were all in a good mood. They not only pushed the grain carts away, but also stripped off the clothes of the Western Zhao army.

"This fabric is really good! I wonder where these evil guys stole this treasure from."

"And here are these horses, take them all." Some people excitedly circled around the herd of horses. Many people were eager to ride them, but were afraid of falling, so they had to touch the horses' necks carefully.

Aunt Chi smiled and joked, "My husband once taught me how to make a horse bit. Maybe we can make a carriage!"

"If we really had a carriage, not only would transporting food be much easier, but even walking would be several times faster!"

"That's great!"

The villagers were excited after hearing this. Even Sun Wan looked at Aunt Chi in surprise: "Aunt Chi, you really have some skills!"

"Where?"

Aunt Chi smoothed her hair embarrassedly, took a step back and pulled the two children beside her, seeming to feel uncomfortable with everyone's praise.

Chi Xi looked up at his mother, his eyes full of attachment.

This heartwarming scene made everyone's noses sore.

Especially Mrs. Sun and her family who are now hiding behind the crowd.

Sun Sheng curled his lips. After all, he was now entirely dependent on Darong Village for support, so he had learned not to show his dissatisfaction on his face.

Privately, he still couldn't help but often whisper to Old Lady Sun: "Mom, look at the daughter you raised."

"Compared to other people's daughters, ours is just a little devil collecting debts!"

Old Mrs. Sun glared at him and said, "Shut up!"

She glanced at Bai Mengrong, who was so thin that she was almost unrecognizable, and then turned her gaze to Su Duanxu who was in deep thought in the distance.

Su Duanxu also stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

His eyes were full of tenderness and sadness.

Old Mrs. Sun sneered in her heart, and her eyes looked at Sun Wan more and more coldly.

Evil karma will only make you feel proud for a few days, but your suffering is still to come!

Sun Wan suddenly felt a chill on her back. She subconsciously turned around, but saw that the faces of Old Mrs. Sun and her family all had the expression of "obedient to the situation" written all over their faces.

Looking away, she noticed Su Duanxu, who looked lonely.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Looking at her two sons, she was unexpectedly at a loss for a moment.

"Mom, you must be tired, right? Come and sit down and rest!"

"We can borrow their fire and make some simple food, then go into the city to pick up the village chief and his group."

Su Guiying went forward obediently and supported Sun Wan. Seeing her daughter, Sun Wan's gloomy mood finally improved a little.

"Good girl."

She patted Su Guiying's hand with relief and sat down to rest.

When I sat down, I felt my legs were swollen and painful.

Sun Wan avoided everyone and unbuttoned her trouser legs, and her legs were indeed swollen.

She dipped some spiritual spring water on her hands and wiped her legs carefully.
