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

Sun Wan took out the fire starter prepared by Sister Chi from her bosom and blew it gently. The dim flames jumped in the cellar.

With the faint light, everyone saw the surrounding scene clearly and couldn't help but gasp.

"Ah!" A villager screamed, and his mouth was immediately covered tightly by the person next to him.

Fear spread in everyone's heart, and the smell of blood and decay in the air became stronger and stronger.

Finally, as night fell, there was a noise coming from the door above the cellar.

Everyone quickly closed their eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

The two men went down to the cellar muttering to each other, put down a bucket of water and turned to leave.

At this moment, Zhang Daniu and Su Rongze pounced out from the darkness like cheetahs and silently broke the two men's cervical vertebrae.

With a "crack" sound, the two men fell to the ground.

Everyone in the cellar quickly "woke up".

Sun Wan stepped forward to confirm that the two had no signs of life, took out the key, and the group quietly left the cellar under the cover of night.

The next day, Yan Senyue was awakened by the noise before dawn.

The night watchman was already staggering with sleep. When he heard the noise, he looked up and saw that it was Yan Senyue, so he greeted her, "Miss Senyue."

Yan Senyue nodded slightly and looked at the cave in the backyard.

The night watchman scratched his head in pain: "It started making noise at the hour of Yin, it's really disturbing."

Yan Senyue didn't say anything, walked straight to the entrance of the cave and kicked it hard.

There was a brief silence in the cave, followed by more intense cursing and quarreling.

Yan Senyue's eyes flashed, and she opened the door of the cave directly. Before the night watchman next to her could stop her, she bent down and stepped in, and the knife flashed.

The evil spirit dissipated and the cave returned to peace.

A moment later, Yan Senyue walked out of the cave with an expressionless face, holding a knife, and returned to the house angrily.

The night watchman swallowed and shakily closed the door of the cave.

This time, the cellar was quiet until the morning light penetrated the darkness, and Sun Wan and her group opened their eyes one after another.

The night watchman quickly and quietly told Sun Wan what Yan Senyue had done last night.

Sun Wan's expression was complicated and indescribable for a moment.

Why pick on someone else when you can pick on someone else, but you have to pick on the guy who gets in a bad mood when he wakes up?

Now that’s good, I’ve reported to the King of Hell early.

Due to Yan Senyue's thundering measures, the cellar was dead silent. Sun Wan and the others were not in a hurry. They leisurely made breakfast in the house in Taohua Village. After eating and drinking their fill, they began to escort the villagers inside.

After such a commotion, the villagers of Taohua Village who were brought out were all listless, just like autumn tassels hit by frost.

Sun Wan didn't mind their condition.

She threw the head of Village Chief Yan to the ground and said, "Tell me, how long have you been eating blood?"

"Why the bloodlust?"

Looking at Village Chief Yan's eyes that were unwilling to close, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

Perhaps realizing that resistance was hopeless, these people did not put up much resistance. After being kicked a few times by Zhang Daniu, they revealed everything.

"It was all done by the village chief..."

It turned out that as early as half a year ago, Taohua Village, which had always been prosperous, began to suffer from drought.

It comes earlier than the drought outside.

After the drought, spring sowing was the first to be affected. Nearly half of the crop seedlings withered, and those that barely sprouted were weak and fragile.

Soon after, drinking water became a big problem for the whole village.

If it were a peaceful time, the villagers of Taohua Village could have gone elsewhere to make a living, but it happened to be a time of chaos.

Those villagers who first fled to neighboring villages were massacred by the Western Zhao army within a few days.

Fortunately, Taohua Village is located in a remote area and was lucky enough to escape the disaster.

But the village’s plight did not ease.

At this time, a Taoist priest suddenly visited and taught the villagers how to offer sacrifices to the mountain god and pray for water.

When everyone heard this, they found it absurd: "Just because of a Taoist priest's words? You started to thirst for blood!?"

"How could that be possible? At first, no one dared to do it. It was the village chief who offered his own wife first..."

"The village chief said he planned to set an example by personally beating his own wife to death and offering her to the mountain god."

"That very night, water gushed out of the well! Real water!"

When this matter was mentioned, all the people in Taohua Village showed a strange enthusiasm and obsession on their faces.

Everyone in Darong Village frowned when they heard this.

"With the beginning, you began to offer sacrifices. But what about the subsequent bloodlust? Why?"

"Since it has been offered to the mountain god, how dare you share it?" Sun Wan glanced at them coldly.

This is exactly what she found incredible.

In troubled times, human life is naturally as worthless as an ant. When people are desperate, strange and supernatural things often happen.

Even the prestigious Western Zhao Army believed in the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, but had never heard of such a cruel and terrifying method of sacrifice.

Not only do they sacrifice living people to the mountain god, but they also mutilate and eat the sacrifices!

After hearing Sun Wan's question, the eyes of the people in Taohua Village flickered: "This, this was also discovered by the village chief first..."

"He said the mountain god allowed us to enjoy the sacrifices... and it's true that since the bloodthirsty event, the village has had more water!"

Seeing that they wanted to shift the blame to the late Village Chief Yan, Sun Wan suddenly felt bored.

Village Chief Yan is certainly not a good person, but this group of people are by no means completely innocent.

To do something so evil that the men in a village ate the elderly, women and children, and even called it asking for water, we can only say that this village is rotten to the core!

She glanced around and saw the expressions on everyone's faces. She guessed that they were thinking the same thing as she was.

Zhu Xiuqin was impatient and couldn't hold back. She stepped forward and spat fiercely at the group of people: "Bah! You idiots, you actually believe what the old man says? You even dare to eat the flesh of your own relatives? Is he the father of all of you?!"

"Or is it that the old guy is really so powerful that he can take care of all of you grown men by himself?"

"You're worse than an animal. You're still trying to make excuses after all this!"

Zhu Xiuqin's words were harsh and merciless, and everyone in Taohua Village lowered their heads in shame.

But Zhu Xiuqin didn't buy it and angrily scolded: "Now you are pretending to be an innocent little wife, what were you doing before?"

"How shameful!"

Sun Wan shook her head and signaled Zhang Daniu and others to continue to keep an eye on them.

Listening to the cries coming from the cellar, Sun Wan's face was heavy. "Village Chief, what do you think we should do next?"

This group of people are bloodthirsty by nature. Keeping them alive will only harm more people. But if they really kill so many people, the villagers of Darong Village cannot bear to do it.

On the way to escape, they did fight to survive and fill their stomachs, but they still couldn't massacre so many people in cold blood.

After all, they are not the group of Western Zhao troops that have gone crazy.

The village chief was also in a dilemma. At this time, Yan Senyue came up with an idea: "Since you can't do it, let them fend for themselves."

She raised her chin slightly, pointed at the cellar and said, "Seal the cellar and let them taste the feeling of being devoured by their own kind." Yan Senyue thought of the piles of bones in the cellar, his eyes full of disgust.
