A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

Most of the villagers are clear-headed.

Su Yunhai felt slightly better.

Otherwise, if he had to keep traveling with these ungrateful people, he would be sick of himself.

Su Yunhai had no intention of getting involved in whether or not to drive away these troublemakers.

"You can discuss this with the village chief. I don't care about these things. The important thing now is to interrogate these two people."

After saying that, Su Yunhai looked at the officers and soldiers and continued to ask questions.

"How many of your officers and soldiers still know that you've come to pursue us?"

Suddenly, the soldier had a thought; he might have found a glimmer of hope for survival.

“Many officers and soldiers know that we came out of the city to find you. We were supposed to be on duty in the city today, but our leader specially switched shifts with another group of brothers in order to find you.”

"They said they would treat us to drinks when we got back. If they see that we haven't come back, they will definitely get suspicious and send people out to look for us."

"Brother, please spare our lives! We'll say we encountered bandits when we get back, and we'll never betray you. Please believe me!"

The officers and soldiers looked at Su Yunhai pleadingly, hoping to give him a way out.

Upon hearing this, the officer who had been stabbed quickly endured the pain and begged for mercy.

"Yes, please let us go. If we can't all get back, the magistrate will definitely send a large number of soldiers to hunt us down. If you let us go back, we can exonerate you and pin the blame on the bandits. We will never bother you again!"

After getting the answers he needed, Su Yunhai slit the throats of both men without hesitation.

The villagers never expected that Su Yunhai would kill the last two officials without hesitation.

They subconsciously felt that what the two officials said made some sense.

All the officials and soldiers in the county government knew that these people had come to see them.

If these officials don't return, a large number of soldiers will surely come to investigate and hunt them down.

With these two officials mediating, they might actually be able to escape unscathed and pin the blame on the bandits.

They couldn't understand why Su Yunhai would kill these two people.

"Scholar Su, why did you kill these people?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, wouldn't it be more advantageous for us to have them clear our names?"

Shen Shuli was no longer sleepy and had been hiding in a tree nearby, watching the situation closely.

She couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out, "Are you really stupid or just pretending?"

"We've killed so many government soldiers, how could these two not hold a grudge against us?"

"You actually believed them and thought they would let us go?"

"Don't be naive!"

"Also, don't forget that these people were instigated by the Wang family. As long as the soldiers don't return with good news, the Wang family will definitely become suspicious, and sooner or later we will be targeted by the government."

"So we can't let these two live at all; they might buy us more time to escape."

Dark as ink.

The villagers peered out and searched for a long time before finally spotting the person speaking hidden in the tree.

It turns out she's Su Yunhai's daughter.

After hearing her explanation, everyone finally understood Su Yunhai's intention.

Su Yunhai couldn't help but nod: "My daughter is right! That's exactly what I meant."

Li Rui thought further ahead and said worriedly, "So, does that mean we'll be targeted by the government sooner or later? Doesn't that mean we're still in danger?"

The villagers finally realized what was happening.

So they're not safe yet!

"What are we going to do then?!"

"We're less than twenty miles from Qingyun City, so won't they be coming to capture us very soon?"

"Then what are we waiting for? Run!"

"Everyone, calm down," Su Yunhai shouted to stop the noise.

Everyone was on edge, fearing that officials would catch up at any moment. They looked at Su Yunhai expectantly, wanting to know what solution he had.

"It's getting late, everyone should rest and recover their strength."

"Let's set off as soon as it gets a little light."

"It seems that the soldiers will only be able to catch up after dawn."

We've been traveling for nearly ten hours. If we try to travel now, we won't be able to see the road clearly, and we won't be able to go very fast.

It's better to get some rest.

As for the bodies of the officers and soldiers, Su Yunhai found a few people to throw them into a nearby ravine.

It will be dawn in another hour.

I need to rest and catch up on sleep to restore my strength.

.

Four hours ago.

Qinglong Village.

There are three leaders in Qinglong Village.

The three leaders were discussing matters in the council hall.

"Third brother, what time is it? Why haven't any of the brothers we sent out returned?" the chief asked.

The third-in-command is responsible for assigning tasks to people.

“I find it strange too. We sent them out at Shenshi yesterday. Logically, they should have been back by last night, even if they were delayed.” The third leader frowned, looking puzzled.

"It's been a whole day and night, perhaps something has happened?" The second-in-command had a bad feeling and asked.

"There are only a dozen or so villages down the mountain, all just farmers who know how to make a living from the soil. Wouldn't it be as easy as chopping vegetables for our thirty-odd skilled brothers to kill them?" the third leader said disdainfully.

"These unruly people actually dared to run away with the grain. They were just tools for us to grow grain. They really don't know what's good for them."

"I guess the brothers haven't seen any fresh women in a long time, and when they see beautiful girls and women outside, they can't help but play around with them for a while. There's no need to rush, let's wait a bit longer."

The head of the gang, somewhat irritated and suppressing his anger, asked, "Shouldn't the grain-hauling team have brought back a batch of grain by now? It's been so long, why haven't we heard a single word from them?"

His men have really gotten carried away with their pride.

Instead of sending the new woman back for him to enjoy first, they started using her themselves. He was very dissatisfied and thought he needed to give them a good talking-to!

The third leader didn't know what was going on either.

The second-in-command suggested, "Why don't we send a team down the mountain to check out the situation?"

"Row."

Two hours later.

The bandits who had been sent down the mountain to investigate hurriedly returned.

He practically crawled into the door.

"Reporting to the First Boss, Second Boss, and Third Boss!"

"Something terrible has happened! Something horrible has occurred!"

The three leaders felt a chill run down their spines when they saw him like this.

The leader immediately pressed, "Tell me quickly, what happened!"

“They’re all dead! All the brothers we sent down the mountain are dead! Many people from the nearby villages have fled.”

"I secretly inquired with the villagers nearby and learned that a scholar from Peach Blossom Village had organized several hundred men to ambush and kill our people."

"The bodies of all our brothers were thrown into the mountains behind Peach Blossom Village. They're dead, all of them are dead..."

Upon hearing this, the three leaders' expressions turned pale!

"Are you telling the truth?" the leader asked incredulously.

He knew his men wouldn't dare lie to him about something like this, but he still found it hard to believe.

"Really, Boss, you have to avenge us brothers!"

Without hesitation, the three brothers immediately led the entire village down the mountain.
