Chapter 16: Another large wave of bandits is about to attack.
Shen Yuehua spun Su Ping'an around twice, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his injuries were not serious.
"Second brother, you're injured too? Hurry up and find a doctor! What are you doing here! You have no sense of propriety at all!"
Su Pingan muttered, "There are too many injured people, and there's only one doctor. They're all waiting in line. I don't want to wait, so I came over to take a look when I saw you guys here."
"What are you looking at? What's so interesting! Haven't you ever seen your mother or your father? Come on, let's get in line."
Shen Yuehua pulled the father and son away, one in each arm, and didn't forget to give Shen Shuli a word of advice.
"Daughter, you watch over these two for now. Your father and I will go and treat their injuries and then come over."
Shen Shuli understood her father's intention in leaving these two bandits behind.
The two bandits tried to sneak away when no one was looking, but Shen Shuli kicked them back one by one.
"Speak, which mountain are you from? Why have you come to Peach Blossom Village today!" Shen Shuli looked down at the two people on the ground with icy eyes.
The two men had been stabbed several times by villagers; their injuries were severe but not fatal.
The two were terrified and just wanted to answer any question, begging these people to spare their lives.
"It was Liu Laizi from your village who tipped off our boss."
"It is said that Peach Blossom Village and several nearby villages are discussing escaping, and some people in the village have bought a lot of grain outside."
“Our boss was worried that all the sheep he was raising would run away, so he sent us down the mountain to slaughter sheep in nearby villages, so that you fat sheep wouldn’t run away and benefit others.”
Shen Shuli never expected that her actions would trigger a butterfly effect.
These bandits came down the mountain ahead of time because they heard rumors that the bandits were going to flee the famine ahead of schedule, and she had mixed feelings.
"Where is Liu Laizi? Also, how many teams did your stronghold send, and what were their missions?" Shen Shuli continued to press, stomping hard on one of the men's wounds.
She didn't know if her grandfather's village had been targeted by these bandits, and as for the other villages, she simply couldn't take care of them all.
"Ouch! It hurts! I'll talk, I'll talk! I'm very cooperative! Please, miss, have mercy on me!"
"Say it!"
“Liu Laizi is in your village. He’s our informant in Qinglong Village. He often tips us off, and we give him some grain as payment.”
"The boss sent our team. We are the vanguard. Our mission is to slaughter all the nearby villages first. There is also a logistics team responsible for transporting food, with about a hundred people. They should arrive in about two hours."
"I don't know anything else! Please, young lady, let me go! I was forced into this situation!"
Thinking of the more than one hundred bandits behind them, Shen Shuli's heart sank.
We must make arrangements in advance.
Shen Shuli dragged the two people and handed them over to the old village chief.
We must give the villagers an explanation for this.
“Village chief, I just learned from these two bandits that they were coming to our village today because a man in our village named Liu Laizi tipped them off.”
"The bandits have not only sent this group, but more than a hundred more will come to our village to plunder our grain. We need to make arrangements as soon as possible!"
The old village chief's expression changed drastically upon hearing this!
He never imagined that it was his distant nephew who had summoned these bandits!
If he had known he would bring such a disaster to the village, he shouldn't have taken them in out of pity!
What a scourge!
I thought Peach Blossom Village could escape this calamity, but I didn't expect there to be a large group of bandits behind it!
The thought of those fierce bandits made his legs go weak again.
Fortunately, her son was able to help her in time.
Watching Shen Shuli's departing figure, the village chief asked his son, "Eldest son, what should we do? There's still a large group of bandits behind us. How can we escape this time?"
"Father, no matter what, we have to try our best. I'll go find Brother Dahai to discuss a solution. He is a scholar after all. In this situation, perhaps only he can come up with a solution."
If it weren't for Su Yunhai's timely response and leadership in defending the village against the enemy, Peach Blossom Village would probably have been slaughtered long ago.
"Alright, whatever you say." The old village chief couldn't even stand up, so he simply plopped down on the ground against the earthen wall and said, "Tie these two up first. Oh, and we also need to hurry up and subdue Liu Laizi and his mother. Don't let them escape!"
"Yes, Father!" Li Rui immediately sprang into action.
Su Yunhai and Su Pingan had already given the wounds a basic treatment.
Shen Shuli called her parents aside and told them what had happened. Su Ping'an also came over and listened to the gossip.
"What? There are more than a hundred bandits behind us?" Su Ping'an's eyes widened in shock, and his voice involuntarily rose.
The surrounding villagers all heard his voice.
Their expressions changed drastically, and gasps of surprise filled the air.
"Is there another large group of bandits coming to our village?"
"My God, is the heavens determined not to leave us a way out?"
"Waaaaah, my husband was just killed by bandits, how are we, a widow and orphan, supposed to survive!"
"Those thirty bandits were already so difficult to deal with, how could we possibly handle another hundred? Let's take advantage of the remaining time and run!"
Knowing he had caused trouble, Su Ping'an immediately squatted down, curled up into a ball, covered his head with his hands, and waited for his father to slap him.
Su Yunhai glanced at his son but said nothing, though his expression was extremely grave.
The villagers will find out about this sooner or later, so it's better to be prepared sooner rather than later.
Just then, Li Rui hurried over.
"Dahai, do you have time? I have something important to discuss with you." Li Rui's voice came before he even arrived.
Su Yunhai knew what he wanted to say and nodded to him: "You have time? Perfect timing, I also have something to discuss with you."
Li Rui originally wanted to pull Su Yunhai away from the crowd, but Su Yunhai stopped him.
"Brother Rui, we don't have much time left, so we might as well let everyone listen together."
Li Rui thought about it and agreed, looking at Su Yunhai with hopeful eyes.
“Dahai, do you have any ideas? There are more than a hundred bandits. All the able-bodied men in our village combined are more than the number of bandits.”
"But we're just ordinary folks. All we do is slaughter chickens and pigs. How can we possibly be a match for those ruthless bandits!"
"Besides, we already injured quite a few people dealing with those thirty bandits. What are we going to do? Do you have any ideas?"
No matter how hard Li Rui racked his brains, he felt that Peach Blossom Village had no chance of winning this time, and he was so anxious that his forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
Su Yunhai hadn't come up with a good solution yet, so Shen Shuli quickly offered her suggestion.
"Father, I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?"
Su Yunhai's eyes lit up immediately, and he urged, "Tell me quickly."
Shen Yuehua, Su Pingan, and the surrounding villagers, hearing the discussion about fighting the bandits, unconsciously gathered around.
At this moment, all the villagers focused their attention on Su Yunhai's daughter, who had just been found after being switched at birth.
I'm really curious to know what good strategies this young girl could come up with!
