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

After Wang Yue and Qi Wangsheng left, Lian Xiuyan disliked Lian Rongrong even more.

But now Wen Hui has fallen out with her, and her daughter has been pushed away by Lian Rongrong. Lian Xiuyan is truly all alone.

During the day, seeing Lian Rongrong and Fu Bao enjoying themselves, Lian Xiuyan couldn't help but worry about whether her daughter was suffering.

In Lian Xiuyan's view, although Wang Yue had done some things that were morally offensive, wasn't it all ultimately because of that little slut Lian Rongrong?

In Lian Xiuyan's view, it seemed that all the mistakes were caused by Lian Rongrong. And her whole family were pitiful victims.

After Wang Yue and Qi Wangsheng were driven away, Lian Rongrong was clearly in a much better mood.

But Lian Xiuyan kept cursing behind her back, "You little slut, you'll get what's coming to you sooner or later!"

It's hard to say whether it was fate or something, but Lian Xiuyan's curse almost came true.

The day after Wang Yue and Qi Wangsheng were driven away, the Lian family arrived at the border of Kunshan.

Just when they thought they had finally seen hope, the convoy was surrounded by men in black coming from all sides.

Lian Rongrong still remembered what these people were dressed like; the last time she and Lian Yicheng saw them on the mountainside, it was the same organization.

This time, however, there were more than thirty people.

The assassins were all dressed in black night clothes, and their faces were covered with black cloth.

They held longswords, and it seemed they also concealed a special spinning blade at their waists.

Looking at the grand scene before her, Lian Rongrong's first reaction seemed to be curiosity rather than fear.

Therefore, when Lian Rongrong asked Lian Yicheng in confusion, "Shouldn't night clothes only be worn at night?" Lian Yicheng even suspected that his sister was stupid!

"My little darling, we're at a life-or-death situation, how can you still have the leisure to care about whether someone's clothes are appropriate or not?"

Lian Yicheng gripped his long sword tightly, his eyes blazing, not daring to relax in the slightest.

But Lian Rongrong shrugged and replied to Lian Yicheng, "What's the use of me caring about other things? For example, would I care if they let us go?"

My goodness, you're so carefree!

Fu Bao gulped out a saliva bubble, and her big, bright eyes seemed to roll back.

[Mother, be careful of the spinning blades those assassins carry. They're coated with deadly poison and silver threads; they can kill, or be used to create traps!]

After hearing Fu Bao's words, Lian Rongrong finally showed some nervousness.

She nudged her second brother, about to speak up and remind him, when Lian Yicheng interrupted with a look of delight:

"No need to say anything, I heard you!"

Because Lian Yicheng already knew that his younger sister, sister-in-law, and Ru'er could hear Fu Bao's thoughts, he was only pleasantly surprised, not shocked, when that soft and cute voice entered his ears.

At the critical moment of life and death, Lian Yicheng, who had just been looking down on Lian Rongrong, suddenly revealed a warm smile.

"You could hear that too?" Lian Rongrong seemed even more surprised than Lian Yicheng himself.

Lian Yicheng nodded, touched Fu Bao's little face with his left hand, and instructed Lian Rongrong:

"Just protect my nephew. If anything happens, hide there!"

Lian Rongrong's eyes welled up with tears. She naturally understood where her second brother meant by "there," and she also knew exactly what kind of "what if" he meant!

The suicide bomber appeared and surrounded the Lian family. Lian Rongrong's behavior was not because she was not afraid, but rather because she was terrified.

But even Rongrong understood that no matter whether she was afraid or not, these men in black in front of her would not hold back in the slightest.

Rather than trembling and encouraging the assassin's arrogance, it's better to see through life and death and face it calmly.

But when Lian Yicheng valued her and Fu Bao's lives more than his own, Lian Rongrong finally had to admit that she was not actually at ease.

She couldn't bear to leave her parents and siblings in this life, and even more so, she couldn't bear to leave the baby Fu Bao in her arms.

Lian Rongrong's eyes suddenly turned sharp. She handed Fu Bao to Chun Tao and told the two of them to hide it well. Then she drew her sword and stood side by side with Lian Yicheng.

"Didn't I tell you to protect Fu Bao? Why are you being stubborn again!"

Lian Yicheng's tone was somewhat anxious, but Lian Rongrong responded in a low but firm voice:

"A family should be united, sharing both life and death!"

As soon as Lian Rongrong finished speaking, Qi Yuan's icy voice rang in her ears.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die!"

Lian Rongrong turned to look at Qi Yuan, who had walked up to her at some point. Their eyes met, and silence spoke volumes!

Before Lian Rongrong could react, Qi Yuan had already leaped out and rushed away.

With a volley of short crossbow bolts, five of the opposing assassins fell in no time.

Qi Yuan's actions successfully drew the attention of some of the assassins to himself.

The seasoned assassins quickly realized that this guy who appeared out of nowhere was the most difficult person to deal with in the entire Lian family.

With a wave of his hand, the leader of the assassins immediately split into two groups of twenty-odd men.

Half of them surrounded Qi Yuan, while the other half charged towards the Lian family.

Since Qi Yuan attracted nearly half of the assassins, the Lian family naturally didn't face as much pressure.

Lian Jinghuai and his two sons took the lead and quickly killed the three assassins.

Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue also guarded the area behind them so tightly that half of the dozen or so people who were besieging the Lian family were wiped out in a short time.

The reduced pressure on the Lian family's side means that Qi Yuan is under a lot of pressure.

Given Qi Yuan's skills, eliminating a dozen or so assassins would have been a piece of cake.

However, his leg injury flared up repeatedly, which greatly affected both his strength and speed.

At first, Qi Yuan was able to fight the assassins to a standstill, but as time went on, he gradually lost ground.

In a duel between masters, life and death hang in the balance. Several times Qi Yuan revealed a weakness, and the assassin almost took advantage of it each time.

Qi Yuan dared not be careless in the slightest and could only endure the pain and keep attacking.

After the fifth assassin fell to Qi Yuan's soft sword, the assassin leader suddenly whistled.

The assassins on both sides immediately stopped and scattered.

[Mother, watch out! They're going to use boomerangs!]

Fu Bao, held in Chun Tao's arms, kept moving his arms and legs, and his loud cries seemed to carry a hint of urgency!

"Watch out for the boomerangs at their waists!" Lian Rongrong shouted, warning everyone who had joined the fight.

Qi Yuan and the Lian family members tacitly gathered together, back to back, forming a circle to protect the elderly, women, and children in the middle.

The assassin leader gestured a few times in the air, and the men in black around him immediately changed formation and drew their boomerangs from their waists.

More than a dozen spinning blades flew out at the same time, their speed so fast that even the silver threads at the ends of the blades became extremely lethal weapons.

Fortunately, thanks to Fu Bao's reminder, everyone was prepared.

The group used their weapons to knock down the spinning blades, preventing the formation from forming quickly.

But the knife has a wire, so even if it is knocked away, it can quickly return to the assassins' hands.

Watching the spinning blades hurtling towards them, Qi Yuan couldn't help but feel worried. He didn't know how much longer he could hold on, nor how much longer his family could endure.

Just as Qi Yuan was worried, a boomerang blade grazed Liu Da's arm.

At first, Liu Da didn't pay attention, but within a few minutes, he suddenly collapsed in pain, bleeding from all seven orifices and died.

Liu Da's death was a significant blow to everyone. When the aura of death enveloped their hearts, the future seemed bleak.

Fortunately, the experienced Lian family father and son were there to keep things in order; otherwise, everyone would have quickly lost their composure.

However, Qi Yuan knew that this stalemate was not a solution. To catch the thief, one must first catch the king. He had to capture the leader alive first.

Thinking this, Qi Yuan suddenly leaped up. He lightly stepped on the silver thread with his right foot and gracefully jumped into the air.

Qi Yuan pointed his long sword at the leader, but before the two had even clashed, he suddenly raised his left hand slightly.
