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

If Qi Yuan could dismiss the last time he heard Fu Bao's inner thoughts as a hallucination, this time, there was no explanation.

Qi Yuan stood there, looking at Lian Rongrong and her son for a long time. That soft and cute voice clearly came from the little guy.

But how could such a small child possibly speak? Besides, it seems like no one around can hear him.

The situation before him was far beyond Qi Yuan's comprehension, and he increasingly felt that the woman in front of him must be hiding some unknown secrets.

For example, the so-called parallel universe that suddenly appeared, the many strange things she conjured, and her child...

"Mother, the bandits' wine cellar is next to the woodshed. They kidnapped Grandfather and the others, so they must be celebrating with a drink."

Let's poison them and kill them!

Fu Bao's voice wasn't loud, but it reached Qi Yuan's ears once again. This time, Qi Yuan was 100% certain that the previous voice was not a hallucination.

Qi Yuan continued to watch Lian Rongrong, noticing that she had her head down and seemed to be whispering something.

Then, that soft, cute voice appeared again.

That handsome guy has drugs, right? Even that big bear was captivated by him.

Mother, use your beauty to ask him for some.

Qi Yuan's expression was priceless, even though everything before him was still inexplicable.

This little darling, Kefubao, is just too cute.

Based on Fu Bao's response, Qi Yuan concluded that Lian Rongrong must have been able to hear the little guy's thoughts long ago.

However, Qi Yuan still intends to keep the fact that he can hear Fu Bao's thoughts a secret for the time being.

Although eavesdropping like this is a bit unethical, upon closer inspection, it doesn't really count as eavesdropping; it's listening openly and honestly.

Qi Yuan still doesn't know much about the Lian family, but he knows they are definitely not an ordinary merchant family.

Even the surname might be a lie. It's incredibly difficult to get the truth out of some cunning adults.

Since that's the case, it would be more practical to listen to what little Fu Bao has to say.

Just as Qi Yuan was thinking this, Lian Rongrong walked up to him.

"Young Master Qi, do you still have any medicine?" Lian Rongrong asked directly.

Qi Yuan nodded slightly and took out a medicine packet from his waist. "I'll go instead."

Qi Yuan did not hand the medicine to Lian Rongrong, but instead turned and walked towards the wine cellar next to the woodshed.

Wow, it must be Mother's beauty that bewitched that guy. Excellent! Excellent!

Fu Bao's words were heard by both Rongrong and Qi Yuan. Rongrong glared angrily at her son, while Qi Yuan, who had his back to the mother and son, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Brother, Qi Yuan and I will go together. You go to the woodshed to rescue the people."

Lian Rongrong was still worried about Qi Yuan being alone, so she carried Fu Bao and followed Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan and Lian Rongrong went to the wine cellar to poison the wine, while Lian Yijun and the others sneaked into the woodshed to check if their parents were there.

Lian Rongrong and Qi Yuan tiptoed into the wine cellar; these bandits certainly had a lot of stock.

In addition to dozens of jars of fine wine, the cellar also contained a lot of cured meat and grains.

"With so much wine, where should we put the medicine?" Lian Rongrong asked, looking at the wine jars that covered almost half of the north wall.

Qi Yuan looked around and finally settled on a wine jar placed alone on a high place.

He strode over without hesitation. He uncorked the bottle and poured the medicine in.

"How can you be so sure they will drink that jar of wine?" Lian Rongrong asked Qi Yuan, puzzled.

Qi Yuan put the cork back in, then walked to several wine jars near the door, opened the corks one by one, and added the poison.

Then he returned to Lian Rongrong and whispered, "Today, the bandits have made quite a haul, including the people and the cart."

For desperate criminals like them, such a huge haul deserves a proper celebration.

Since we're celebrating, we should drink the best wine. Here you go,”

Qi Yuan raised his chin, looked at the jar of wine on the high place, and continued, "That jar is the best."

However, while the bosses drank well, the underlings weren't so lucky. Therefore, the easiest thing to carry out near the entrance was the underlings' drinks.

After Qi Yuan's explanation, even Rongrong found it to be very reasonable.

"Someone's there!" Qi Yuan's expression hardened, and he suddenly grabbed Lian Rongrong's wrist, hiding in a corner to the side.

The corner space was too cramped, and even Rongrong's body could only be pressed tightly against Qi Yuan. If she hadn't been holding Fu Bao in her arms, the two of them would probably have been even closer together.

[Hehe, Mommy and the handsome guy are hugging!]

Lian Rongrong glared at Fu Bao, but dared not make any further moves.

As Qi Yuan felt the warmth of Lian Rongrong's body, he was teased by a little baby, and he couldn't help but blush.

[Huh? The handsome guy's ears are all red, is he shy?]

Upon hearing Fu Bao's words, Qi Yuan's ears turned bright red. Lian Rongrong looked up at Qi Yuan, only to meet his slightly complicated gaze.

Both of them involuntarily turned their faces away, pretending to be calm as they looked outside.

Through the cracks in the wine jars in the corner, the two could see the bandits carrying away the wine.

Just as Qi Yuan had predicted, the bandits took away the topmost jar and several jars from the entrance.

The bandits' faces were filled with joy and excitement.

"We've had quite a haul today; we're going to have to drink a few bowls of wine later, guys."

"Don't drink too much. The boss said we'll get a share of those girls we caught!"

"Look at those women, each one with delicate skin and tender flesh. If I could sleep with one of them, wouldn't that be more carefree than being a god?"

"That's right! That's right!"

The bandits' faces were full of wicked smiles. As if thinking of those despicable things, they even sped up the speed at which they carried the wine.

After the bandits left, Lian Rongrong and Qi Yuan immediately left the wine cellar. As soon as they came out, Lian Yicheng pulled them aside.

"Shh!" Lian Yicheng made a shushing gesture, then pulled the two behind a pile of haystacks.

Because of the recent heavy snow, the already not small haystack has become much larger.

When Lian Rongrong and Lian Yicheng hid behind, they discovered that their elder brother, sister-in-law, and Ru'er were also there.

"Didn't you find your parents?" Lian Rongrong asked with a worried expression upon seeing this.

"Found it, it's definitely in the woodshed. But there are guards inside."

They are not in any danger at the moment, and we are afraid of alerting them and ruining our plans.

However, we have already used military force…

Lian Yiyun stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing that Qi Yuan was still there, and changed the subject, continuing:

"Use our Liang family's unique code to let them know we're here."

"Hmm." Lian Rongrong nodded, but the worry on her face had not lessened.

Lian Rongrong didn't distrust her older brother's decision; she was just really worried about her mother's health.

In the current situation, there is no other option but to wait.

The group held their breath and focused their attention on the door of the woodshed outside. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, two bandits suddenly appeared outside the woodshed.

The two men grinned mischievously as they pushed open the door to the woodshed.
