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

Shen Shuli then made several sturdy dog ​​cages using pieces of wood as thick as a baby's arm.

They drove all of the dozen or so vicious dogs that the Lin family kept inside.

These past few days, these vicious dogs have been stealing the most food; they must be locked up and starved.

She hadn't forgotten how those vicious dogs almost killed her.

As for that last small vegetable patch, we'll plant vegetables there after we move the livestock away.

After finishing setting up the space, Shen Shuli fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.

She hasn't had a full night's sleep in the past two days.

Perhaps knowing her mother was by her side, she slept very soundly.

I wasn't woken up by the noise outside at all.

late at night.

An uninvited guest arrived at the camp.

Following last night's surprise attack by government troops, the villagers on night watch have increased their manpower.

There were more than twenty people taking turns on night duty.

Everyone was on high alert during the night watch.

Hearing a noise in the woods, they were immediately discovered.

"There's movement over there!" someone immediately and cautiously alerted their companion.

Shen Ziqian is on night duty tonight.

He was quite skilled, so he told everyone to pretend nothing was wrong and sneaked over by himself.

They discovered that it was a woman hiding in a nearby haystack.

Shen Ziqian relaxed slightly, then demanded sharply, "Who are you! What are you doing hiding here! Come out right now!"

Zhao Qiao'er, Wang Kui's eldest daughter-in-law, was trembling with fear after being discovered.

She stood up slowly and nervously, her head bowed, not daring to look at the person in front of her.

"I...I really have nowhere else to go. I won't bother you. Please let me follow you..." Zhao Qiao'er's voice was soft, tinged with sobs.

It sounds especially endearing.

In the stillness of the night, her voice reached the hearts of men of all professions.

Shen Ziqian saw that she had her head down and he couldn't see her face, so he didn't recognize her.

He didn't know how to handle the situation.

I wanted to discuss it with my uncle, but seeing that he had finally fallen asleep, I didn't disturb him.

He turned around and went to find Li Rui.

Li Rui has been very tired these past few days. She finally manages to fall asleep only to be woken up again, leaving her feeling helpless.

He asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong? Has something happened again?"

Shen Ziqian led Li Rui to the place where the woman was hiding and explained the situation.

Li Rui was, after all, the son of the village chief of Peach Blossom Village, so it was easier for him to make decisions on such matters.

"Uncle Li, you handle this matter. I'm going to take my night shift." Shen Ziqian slipped away.

Li Rui was helpless.

How could he possibly know how to handle this!

The woman's origins are unknown.

The fact that they were able to follow the trail to their camp shows that they are not simple-minded.

It's clear that she was hiding here alone and didn't want to just kick people out.

He could only let her enter the camp first, and have the night watchman keep an eye on her.

Let's discuss how to handle this after daybreak.

Zhao Qiao'er breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that they did not drive her away.

She glanced around discreetly, then quietly moved to sit down next to Shen Ziqian.

Of all these people, she only knew Shen Ziqian.

She only felt slightly at ease when she was by his side.

Listening to the crackling sound of the fire burning, Zhao Qiao'er's tense heart gradually relaxed and she slowly fell asleep.

"No, no, don't kill me!"

sudden.

A shrill female voice pierced the sky.

This startled everyone awake.

Fortunately, it was already getting light.

Many villagers immediately got up to inquire about the situation.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong now?!"

"Who's screaming so loudly! What happened!"

Zhao Qiao'er suddenly opened her eyes and realized she was dreaming when she looked around.

In a dream.

She witnessed that tragic scene unfold in Baishan Village once again.

The bandits forcibly cut open her belly to remove the child from her womb, and then threw the child to its death.

It startled her awake!

Seeing pairs of eyes staring at her intently, Zhao Qiao'er was so frightened that she immediately covered her head with her hands and sobbed softly.

"woo woo woo woo……"

Li Rui briefly recounted Zhao Qiao'er's story to everyone.

The villagers then realized that this woman had been secretly following them without their knowledge.

"Hey, isn't this someone from the Wang family?" Shen Yuehui said immediately when she saw Zhao Qiao'er's face.

Upon hearing this, the Shen family members all came over.

But Zhao Qiao'er had already hidden her face, so they could no longer see it.

The old village chief's face darkened when he heard that they were from Wangjia Village.

He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Girl, lift your head."

Knowing she couldn't escape it, Zhao Qiao'er slowly raised her tear-streaked face and knelt down on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

When the maternal grandfather Shen Huai'an saw that it really was a member of the Wang family, he immediately explained to everyone, "This is Wang Kui's eldest daughter-in-law, the wife of that scholar Wang Xuewen."

"What? She's really a member of the Wang family?"

"What is she doing in our village? Is she trying to harm us?"

"We can't let her stay! Get her out of here right now!"

"Let's just kill them! The Wang family already wants so many of our lives, why should we be merciful to them!"

When Zhao Qiao'er saw that the villagers not only didn't want to take her in but also wanted to kill her, she was so frightened that she cried even harder, and kept banging her forehead until it bled.

"Please don't send me away, I won't cause you any trouble, please! Waaah..."

The old village chief wouldn't soften his heart just because she was crying pitifully; he sensed that something was amiss.

"Tell me what happened! Why were you following behind our group alone? Where are the Wang family members? Where are they hiding? What kind of conspiracy are you plotting?!"

Zhao Qiao'er choked back tears as she recounted the events that occurred after the Wang family returned to the village.

"Waaaaah, when we returned to the village, we encountered bandits massacring the entire village. Everyone who hadn't left was killed by the bandits."

"Of the more than 100 members of the Wang family, only more than 20 managed to escape. Waaah, my husband was suffering from a serious illness and had been in a coma for a long time. His younger brother abandoned him on the road, and he was also killed by the bandits."

"My father-in-law is trying to force me to die, so I escaped. Please, please don't drive me away. I won't cause you any trouble. Please! Give me a way to live!"

Everyone gasped in shock after hearing this!

They never expected that the Wang family would encounter such a thing!

And those bandits have actually reached Baishan Village!

It seems those bandits already know that their men were killed by the villagers!

This is how to do!

There are only a few villages in front of Baishan Village.

Given the bandits' brutal and vengeful nature, once they've slaughtered all the villages, they'll definitely come after them for revenge!

Everyone's heart was pounding like a drum.

Shen Shuli and her parents slept well last night and are in good spirits.

Hearing that something had happened here, we came over together.

Su Yunhai immediately sensed something was wrong and assigned tasks to everyone.

"Two teams of strong men, come with me to clear the way!"

"Those who were on night duty last night, please stay and get some rest!"

"Arrange two more teams, one of which will completely block our retreat."

"Another team will form a reconnaissance group to keep watch and observe from behind, observing whether any bandits are chasing after us, so that we can notify everyone in advance!"

"The rest of you, hurry up and pack your things, prepare breakfast, and we'll set off together when we get back!"
