Reincarnation and Rebirth

The village chief sighed inwardly, thinking, "This girl is still kind-hearted."

Only Su Wan'er knew that even if these people woke up, they would be crippled. The tendons in each of their hands had been severed, and it would be impossible for them to wield swords and spears again.

Su Wan'er didn't know how these people were eventually dealt with. She only knew that the village chief convened a meeting of the villagers early the next morning, but that's another story.

Among the injured villagers, apart from Su Youlu who was seriously injured, the others had minor injuries. Su Wan'er invited everyone to Grandpa Lin's yard, "I learned some pharmacology from Grandpa Lin before. If you trust me, come with me and apply some herbs."

Zhang Dazhuang said happily, "Wan'er, you've been learning medicine from Uncle Lin? By the way, it seems like Uncle Lin hasn't been home for a long time."

"Yes, I've learned a little."

After much hesitation, the villagers went along and took some herbs.

Su Youlu was seriously injured, so Su Wan'er fed him a pill.

"Wan'er, who did you learn your kung fu from?" Seeing that everyone else had left, leaving only Zhang Dazhuang and his daughter in the room, Su Youlu asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time.

Su Wan'er replied without batting an eye, "Grandpa Lin."

"What? Uncle Lin knows kung fu?"

Su Wan'er put her index finger to her lips and said mysteriously, "Shh, Uncle Lin said this can't be told to anyone. You guys keep it a secret for me."

Zhang Dazhuang and Su Youlu nodded vigorously.

After taking the medicine, Su Youlu felt much better and asked happily, "So, did Uncle Lin teach you this medical skill?"

"Ah."

"Oh, that's wonderful! It's a pity Uncle Lin isn't here, otherwise Dad would definitely thank him properly."

Speaking of this, Su Youlu asked again, "Do you know where Uncle Lin went? It seems like he hasn't come back for several days."

"Grandpa Lin knows kung fu, so he won't be in any danger. He's probably off on some important business."

After the three of them tidied up, Zhang Dazhuang returned to his own home, while Su Youlu took Su Wan'er back to the old house. On the way, Su Wan'er looked in a certain direction, and Shunqing was so frightened that he almost fell off a tree. Only after Su Wan'er looked away did Shunqing say incredulously, "Master, did she just discover us?"

Xiao Yun Shen smiled slightly, "Let's go, according to the original plan."

"Yes."

When they got home, the light was still on in Old Man Su's room. Hearing the noise at the gate of the yard, he quickly asked Su Youfu to come out and check.

"Father, it's the second son and Wan'er who are back."

Su Youlu glanced at Su Wan'er, made a gesture to her, and then entered the main room.

"Dad, you haven't rested yet?"

Su Wan'er looked around and was shocked to find that almost everyone in the Su family was in the main house. They had clearly heard the sounds of fighting at the village entrance, but no one had come out to check. Looking at the bundles beside them, Su Wan'er's face turned completely dark.

Su Youlu naturally saw it too, and his heart was filled with complex emotions. His parents and brothers completely disregarded his life and death. They were actually prepared to escape at any time. What was most hateful was that they did not intend to take his wife and daughter with them. Everyone else was in the room except for Wang Shi and a few children.

Su Wan'er glanced at her cheap father's face, which was as black as ink, and for some reason, felt a surge of secret pleasure.

"Father, what are you doing?"

Old Su turned his face away, saying awkwardly, "It's nothing, I'm just worried that if bandits really come into the village, I should make preparations early."

"What about our second wife's family? You're not going to take care of them?"

Old Man Su was furious when his secret was exposed. "Second son, how dare you talk to your father like that?"

Su Youfu also said, "Second brother, you and Wan'er are both at the village entrance, so your wife must be worried about you too."

"Brother, don't you know why I'm doing this? Shouldn't you be protecting my wife and daughters?"

Grandma Su cherished her eldest son the most, and she couldn't bear to see him scolded. "You unfilial son, how dare you speak to your father and elder brother like that? Do you want to rebel for the sake of a few sluts?"

Su Youlu said sorrowfully, "Mother, they are my children."

"Alright," Old Man Su snapped, "Is this the time to dwell on these things? What's the situation outside?"

Su Youlu glanced at his eldest daughter, not intending to mention Su Wan'er's matter, and said vaguely, "They've all been driven away. The village chief said there will be a meeting first thing tomorrow morning."

Old Man Su was shocked. "They drove them away? The people from Black Tiger Stronghold?"

"Ah."

Old Su stared intently at Su Wan'er. He knew Black Tiger Stronghold very well, and he didn't believe that these peasants could be their match.

He had considered returning to Black Tiger Stronghold, but what happened last time left him with lingering fears.

He was afraid that the leaders were two-faced, and if he went up the mountain again, would he never return? Suddenly, he remembered that the second-in-command of Black Tiger Stronghold was Su Yang, and a calculating glint flashed in his eyes.

This night was destined to be a sleepless one. As soon as the rooster crowed at dawn, the villagers rushed to the village chief's courtyard.

"Village chief, what should we do?"

"Yes, Su Wan'er killed people from Black Tiger Stronghold, so Black Tiger Stronghold will definitely not let us off the hook."

"What? Su Wan'er? That girl from the Su family? She's that capable?"

The village chief walked into the courtyard with a stern face. "What nonsense are you talking about? Wan didn't kill anyone. Those people are still alive. I arranged for people to move them all to the village entrance."

"No, village chief, I went to check when I got up this morning, and all those people were gone."

Upon hearing this, even the village chief was shocked. They were all ordinary people after all, and they wouldn't dare to kill anyone. So they had simply moved everyone away and left them to fend for themselves. But where were the people? Could it be that the people from Black Tiger Stronghold had come and taken them all away?

Only Su Wan'er thought of Xiao Yun Shen, implying that those two had solved their problem.

"Village chief, the people from Black Tiger Stronghold said yesterday that they would let us go as long as we hand over Su Wan'er. Why don't we just hand her over?"

The village chief was furious. "Hand her over? Wan'er saved the whole village last night!"

"Village chief, you need to think about the whole village."

Some villagers, unaware of the truth, inquired among themselves and learned that the people of Black Tiger Village said they would massacre the village if Su Wan'er was not handed over. They all expressed their willingness to hand over Su Wan'er.

Of course, there were also those who were unwilling, and everyone was arguing fiercely. Su Wan'er sighed. These ignorant people, who usually seemed so well-behaved, were now showing their true colors.

Hearing the villagers' words, Old Lady Su glared at the second wife's family and said loudly, "Village Chief, I agree. Although I am her grandmother, for the sake of the lives of all the villagers, I agree to hand over Su Wan'er."

“Mother…” Su Youlu and Madam Wang spoke at the same time.

"Grandma!" Xiang'er and Zhao'er were also extremely anxious.

Su Wan'er, on the other hand, remained calm.

Old Man Su looked at Su Wan'er, recalling what the villagers had said, and lowered his head, struggling with his emotions.

If what they say is true, then keeping Su Wan'er by our side would provide an extra layer of protection, but at the same time, it would completely offend the Black Tiger Stronghold.

Wu was a kind-hearted woman. Seeing how the villagers were treating a little girl like this, she stood up and said, "We can't be ungrateful. Wan is only fifteen years old. How can we send her to a bandit's den?"

When Old Man Su saw Madam Wu, he suddenly thought of Su Yang. He said in a sinister tone, "Yes, my granddaughter can't go to the bandit's den. Where is your Su Yang?"
