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

A moment later, the group hiding behind the haystack saw two bandits drag Wang Yue out.

"I must say, the woman the boss has his eye on is really something else. I wish I could have a taste of her too."

A bandit sized up Wang Yue with a lewd look on his face. He deliberately tore a large piece of Wang Yue's clothes open with force.

With her fair skin exposed, Wang Yue trembled uncontrollably from the cold and fear.

"Do you know who I am?" Wang Yue shouted while crying.

But the two bandits just smiled disdainfully, "Who are you? We don't care who you are."

However, you'll soon be our boss's woman!

The bandit who had been lecherous suddenly bent down and took the opportunity to pinch Wang Yue's smooth skin.

Then he grinned and chuckled, "Of course, if you don't serve her well, she might become many men's women!"

As the bandit spoke, his hands became increasingly restless. Wang Yue shouted loudly, and at the same time, Lian Xiuyan's cries came from inside the woodshed.

"Alright, stop messing around. You dare to make a move on the person the boss wants first? Are you out of your mind?"

Another bandit grabbed his companion's groping hand and kindly warned him.

"I couldn't resist for a moment. Come on, little wench, go and serve our boss properly."

Two bandits grabbed Wang Yue from the left and right, dragging and pulling her towards the front yard.

Wang Yue screamed desperately, her voice failing her several times. But just as she was about to be dragged out of the south courtyard...

Wang Yue suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute! I have a secret to tell you!"

The people behind the haystack were all startled by what they heard. They exchanged glances, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.

The two bandits who were dragging Wang Yue didn't seem to take the secret she was talking about seriously.

In their view, Wang Yue was merely stalling for time.

"If you have any secrets, you'd better go tell them to our boss in bed."

Without saying a word, the two continued dragging Wang Yue. Startled, Wang Yue finally shouted:

"Someone has infiltrated your mountain stronghold; they're nearby!"

Upon hearing this, the two bandits finally stopped, and Lian Rongrong, who was behind the haystack, couldn't help but mutter "idiot" under her breath.

Now that Wang Yue knows they have arrived, she should understand that they will not leave her alone.

Although Lian Rongrong loathed Wang Yue, she couldn't bear to see her being harmed by villains.

Moreover, even if Lian Rongrong could do it, Lian Yijun and Lian Yicheng would not stand idly by.

Wang Yue could have a hundred ways to stall for time; she could even feign compliance with the bandit leader and trick him into drinking alcohol.

But this fool chose to betray them!

"It really is stupid!" Qi Yuan stayed by Lian Rongrong's side the whole time, and Lian Rongrong's disgusted expression was really cute in Qi Yuan's eyes.

He was so adorable that he couldn't help but respond to a woman.

"You said someone has infiltrated the mountain stronghold?" The bandit woke up and looked around, but there was no movement around him.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. Our village is as solid as a fortress. How could anyone just come in like that?"

This woman is just stalling for time. Don't waste your breath on her, just pull her away. Otherwise, all the food and drink will be gone.

Seeing the bandits' actions, Wang Yue feared they would really take her away, so she shouted again:

"I'm not lying to you, it's our companions who have come. I have a cousin who's much prettier than me, go and capture her."

They were just here in the woodshed; they must still be in the yard. I've told you everything, please let me go.”

Wang Yue's words really made everyone itchy with anger. At this moment, everyone wished she would just be taken away by the bandits.

What's the point of saving such a wicked and selfish woman?

However, Wang Yue's outburst did indeed alert the bandits.

Even that lecherous man from before was instantly awakened.

“Go tell the boss that my brothers inside and I are checking the courtyard,” one bandit said to another.

The two men exchanged a glance, and then one of them quickened his pace, intending to go ahead and deliver a message.

"We can't let them leave, or all our efforts will be in vain," Lian Rongrong said anxiously.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a gust of wind brush past her ear, and when she looked again, the bandit who was about to tip her off was already lying on the ground.

Before Lian Rongrong could react, another gust of wind blew past her ear, and the bandit next to Wang Yue also fell down silently.

This terrified Wang Yue. She stood there, covering her ears with her hands and screaming in panic.

As a result, the guards inside the woodshed were also attracted by Wang Yue's screams.

"Your cousin is truly a complete idiot." Qi Yuan gave a wry smile with a look of disgust.

Then another arrow was fired, and another bandit was taken down.

At the same time, Lian Jinghuai also took action in the woodshed. With the help of both sides, they quickly eliminated all the bandits in the area.

Now that things have come to this, there's no need for everyone to wait any longer; everyone gathers in the courtyard.

Seeing that her parents were alright, Lian Rongrong finally felt relieved.

Wang Yue stumbled and crawled back to Lian Xiuyan's side, her tattered clothes making her look rather pitiful.

But this poor man does indeed have some hateful aspects.

"What do we do now? We don't even know if they've already drunk the drugged wine?"

If they haven't drunk, and these two haven't returned yet, even if we run, it will be difficult to escape.

Lian Yicheng was well aware of the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, and they could indeed escape immediately.

But this place is all mountainous, and a family of elderly, weak, women and children, without a vehicle, cannot go far at all.

Once he's caught again, he might not even have a chance to turn things around.

Everyone agreed with Lian Yicheng's analysis, but the most crucial issue at the moment was that they had no way of confirming whether the bandits had already drunk the drugged wine.

Just as everyone was hesitating, Lian Rongrong suddenly frowned and said:

"Since we can't be sure, let's go and see for ourselves."

"Are you crazy? Do you want us to walk right into a trap?" Lian Xiuyan was furious upon hearing this.

But Lian Rongrong completely ignored her. Lian Rongrong looked at her father and two older brothers, and continued:

"How about we just ignore what's in front of us?"

"The darkest place is under the lamp?" Lian Yijun looked puzzled, but Qi Yuan instantly understood what Lian Rongrong meant.

"You mean we shouldn't run away, but just hide in the village?"

Lian Rongrong turned to look at Qi Yuan, her lips curving upwards, and nodded slightly.

"That's right, that's exactly what I mean. If they've already taken the medicine, then we don't need to rush."

But if not, then we can't run away anyway. In that case, we might as well stay.

Lian Rongrong walked over to the two bandits who had been shot dead by Qi Yuan, forcefully pulled off one of their cotton-padded coats and hats, and put them on herself.

"How is it? Does it look like it?"
