Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

Once everything was ready, Lian Rongrong instructed several guards to take turns watching over the supplies. The others were to return to the dilapidated temple to rest.

But as soon as Lian Rongrong stepped into the dilapidated temple, she heard Fu Bao crying.

Even though the mother kept holding Fu Bao and pacing back and forth, the little guy just kept crying.

Hearing the child crying, Lian Rongrong quickened her pace.

"What's wrong with Fu Bao?" Lian Rongrong took Fu Bao from her mother's arms. The little guy was crying so hard he could barely breathe, and big tears were falling from the corners of his eyes.

"I don't know either, he just suddenly started crying. I've never seen this little guy cry so hard before."

Lian Rongrong looked at Fu Bao in her arms with some worry, but suddenly heard Fu Bao's voice.

"Mother, they're trying to harm us. That wicked man drugged the water."

I heard them say they were going to drug us and then throw us outside to freeze to death.

That way, all the supplies would be theirs.

Fu Bao's words made Lian Rongrong's heart skip a beat, but at the same time she was very relieved.

Fortunately, Fu Bao was there; otherwise, who would have thought that these seemingly simple villagers would harbor murderous thoughts over some external object?

Just then, Muramasa walked up to Lian Rongrong with a bowl of water. "Miss Liang, you look exhausted. Have some water."

"Mommy, don't drink it!"

Fu Bao's soft, cute voice rang in Lian Rongrong's ears. Lian Rongrong patted Fu Bao reassuringly, and then smiled as she took the water from the village head's hand.

"Thank you, Village Chief." Lian Rongrong did not drink the water directly, but instead carried Fu Bao in one arm and the water bowl in the other, and walked to her mother's side.

Lian Rongrong handed Fu Bao to her mother, then covered the water bowl with her long sleeve, tilted her head slightly, and pretended to drink water, but in fact she poured all the water onto her sleeve.

Lian Rongrong was standing with her back to the Lian family members, which allowed everyone in the Lian family to clearly see her actions.

Therefore, needless to say, everyone can guess that there is something wrong with the water.

Next, the village chief led several villagers to deliver water to the Lian family members one by one, ostensibly to apologize for what had happened earlier, but their underlying plans and schemes were chilling.

Soon after the Lian family members "drank" the water, they began to experience reactions, with Lian Rongrong, who was the first to "drink" the water, being the first to faint.

After Lian Rongrong "fainted," one after another, members of the Lian family collapsed.

"Muramasa, make your move!" A deep and urgent voice rang in Lian Rongrong's ears.

The voice sounded unfamiliar and was clearly not the middle-aged man who had started the earlier dispute.

Lian Rongrong closed her eyes, but couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Human nature is truly something you can't look at directly."

I thought this was instigated by that middle-aged man, but I never imagined that there are evil people everywhere in the world.

"These people are innocent too, do we really have to be so ruthless?" Muramasa was clearly still somewhat reluctant.

But as soon as Muramasa finished speaking, several people retorted, basically saying that in such a year of great disaster, people would even exchange their own children to eat, let alone the lives of a few strangers.

“Muramasa, you need to know exactly where you’re from,” the young man said.

"You didn't see it; those were the real treasures they took. We've all been fooled."

I just saw it; that thing called a tent has now been turned into a train carriage.

It's incredibly luxurious. I bet there are still many treasures we don't know about.

If they had only taken some useless things, that would have been fine. But these wicked people have deceived us.

Since they are unjust, they can't blame us for being unjust, don't you all agree?

The young man's words were quickly agreed upon by the crowd, but there was actually one person in the crowd who had not spoken at all.

However, these were things that Lian Rongrong, who was "fainting," could not see.

"Then let's tie them up first." Muramasa sighed, ultimately siding with evil.

Lian Rongrong closed her eyes and let the villagers tie her up. However, Lian Rongrong was not afraid, because she was prepared.

The whole family tacitly allowed themselves to be manipulated, except for Wang Yang, who suddenly sprang into action when the villagers encountered him.

Fortunately, the villagers thought he hadn't drunk much of the drug, so they simply grabbed a stick and knocked him unconscious.

Seeing Wang Yang's fate, Wang Yue and Lian Xiuyan wanted to resist, but dared not.

Once everyone was tied up, the villagers didn't rush to throw the Lian family members outside. Instead, they eagerly surged out.

Hearing that there was no more movement inside the temple, Lian Rongrong opened her eyes. She confirmed that there were indeed no villagers left in the temple.

"Second Brother!" Lian Rongrong called softly, then slipped the dagger she had hidden in her sleeve earlier into her hand.

Seeing this, Lian Yicheng quickly turned his back to Lian Rongrong, and the two siblings worked together to cut Lian Yicheng's rope in no time.

With his hands freed, Lian Yicheng immediately stood up and cut all the ropes binding everyone.

After breaking free of her restraints, Lian Xiuyan rushed to Wang Yang's side, but her son did not respond to her calls.

Just as Lian Xiuyan was about to curse, she heard Lian Rongrong say, "He won't die. He's not that delicate. This is a good opportunity to teach him a lesson!"

"You!" Lian Xiuyan's fingers trembled with anger, but Lian Rongrong had already turned away and ignored her completely.

It was rare to see his aunt so embarrassed, and Lian Yicheng was secretly delighted. However, he was still somewhat puzzled by his younger sister's actions, so he asked Lian Rongrong:

"Little sister, why didn't you just subdue them? These troublemakers have already gone this far, are you still having second thoughts?"

Lian Rongrong shook her head with amusement, but her eyes remained cold and indifferent.

"Second brother, I crawled out of hell, how could I have so much reluctance?"

What's more, they're facing a pack of ungrateful wolves. It's just that there are many of them, and these people are hunters all year round.

While moving supplies, I noticed that there were quite a few young people in the village.

Moreover, they are all strong and powerful men. If a fight really breaks out, even if we have skilled fighters on our side...

Even so, it's still impossible to completely guarantee everyone's safety. What's more, Grandmother, Mother, Ru'er, and Fubao are all completely defenseless.

In the heat of battle, no one can guarantee their absolute safety, so minimizing harm is naturally the best course of action, avoiding bloodshed.

Upon hearing this, Lian Yicheng nodded approvingly, "It seems you already have an idea?"

“Use their own methods against them.” Lian Rongrong turned to look at the water vat in the corner. She had just noticed that the villagers’ water came from that large black water vat.

The water that the village chief brought to everyone was poured from a ceramic jar on the side. Lian Rongrong strode over to the corner where the water jar was placed.

He casually picked up a clay pot from the side and poured the water from it into the water vat without hesitation. Then he even reached in and stirred it.

After doing all this, Lian Rongrong clapped her hands in satisfaction and walked back with a beaming smile.

"Mommy is so great!" Little Fu Bao clapped and flattered her, but just then, the door of the dilapidated temple suddenly opened.

Everyone's eyes turned nervously toward the temple gate!
