Although the chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and other animals at home were no longer fed with spiritual dew, they were still fed with the leftover vegetable leaves and fruit peels from the glass house on the third floor.

Perhaps because the effect of jade dew is so good, they also like the trimmed mango leaves, lychee leaves and watermelon vines.

On ordinary days, chickens and ducks would not even look at these trimmed branches and leaves, but now they are very happy to eat them. Sometimes when there is not enough food at home, the hens will fight for food. They will not stop even if their feathers are pecked off, and will continue to fight with a clucking sound.

A heater is burned in the shed every day, and the chickens, ducks and other animals raised at home are growing well.

There were too many livestock raised in the shed in the backyard, so Qin Suyun naturally didn't dare to lead Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu directly to the backyard. Instead, she led Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu to the living room and took out the cages containing hens and chicks from the backyard.

The yellow, fluffy chicks were well fed and looked energetic, chirping particularly vigorously. When Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu saw the twenty or so chicks in the cage, they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

"Sister Qin, your chickens are so well-raised! They're even more energetic than those at Li Laowu's house down the road!" Aunt Wang stared intently at the chicks in the cage and said with a smile, "These chickens usually like to hatch eggs in the spring. We thought it was a bit strange when we heard the noise last night! But you're raising your chickens so well! No wonder they're hatching eggs in winter. The chickens at other families in our village either froze to death a few days ago or were completely frozen to death. They can't even lay two eggs, let alone hatch chicks."

"That's right! We originally had three chickens, but that night, my old lady didn't light the brazier to save firewood. When we woke up the next morning, all three chickens were frozen into lumps of ice!" Aunt Liu slapped her thigh and echoed with regret, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have to buy new chicks now. We could just wait until spring to raise another brood."

"Well, don't blame your old lady... Even if your old lady didn't save firewood that day, but look at the village these days, except for Li Laowu's family at the village head and Qin Damei's family, I'm afraid there are not many families in the village who still raise these things... You don't need to count to know that there are definitely no more than ten people in the village who still raise chickens, ducks and geese!" Aunt Wang waved her hands and sighed.

Generally in the countryside, every household raises chickens, ducks and geese. These little creatures only eat one meal a day. On weekdays, they wander outside to find food for themselves. They are easy to raise, and you can kill one during the New Year or other festivals when you are hungry.

Therefore, these chickens, ducks and geese are considered essential items for every household in the village.

However, this time an earthquake occurred, killing the chickens and ducks of many households in the village.

For the dozens of families that were not completely crushed to death, many of their chickens, ducks, and geese were frozen to death because the village chief had gathered everyone together to make a fire for warmth a few days ago.

When they were at home, they could keep the chickens, ducks, and geese in cages and put them in the house to keep warm. But when they went to someone else's house to burn a fire with everyone else to keep warm, they couldn't bring their own cages of chickens and ducks over.

Not to mention how smelly these chickens, ducks and geese are, even they themselves are not so shameless.

There is no place for people to sit, and you still put these things here. Isn't this annoying?

Some are so considerate that they just light a small fire next to the cages at home as a token of their gratitude, while others simply give up on them. They can barely make ends meet, so why bother with these things? They can just sell the chickens and ducks later when things recover outside.

Because of this, after more than ten days, there are only six or seven households in the entire village who are still raising chickens and ducks.

"You're right. Actually, we don't mean to blame the old lady. No one knows how long this blizzard will last. It's right to save charcoal as much as possible. I'm just nagging. Besides, don't we have the chickens from Sister Qin's family now?" Aunt Liu took over the conversation with a smile. She didn't mention the chickens and ducks that froze to death at home just now. She looked up and asked Qin Suyun, "Sister Qin, do you plan to keep some of these chickens for yourself? If not, just sell them all to the two of us. We'll bring rice to exchange with you later."

"These chicks in your family are full of energy and must be easy to raise." Aunt Wang also smiled.

"Auntie wants them, so you can take all these chicks." Qin Suyun smiled at the two of them. These chicks in her home were just hatched last week, and they still had pure light yellow fluff on their bodies.

Originally, she planned to raise the child herself, but since Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu came to her house and spoke so sincerely, she couldn't refuse.

Anyway, her family has a lot of chickens and ducks, so she can just hatch some more when the time comes.

Everyone's life gradually returned to normal as the snowstorm stopped. Apart from worrying about the county robbers mentioned by the six thieves, Wanxi Village had a very peaceful night these past few days.

…

However, in Ningyong County, dozens of kilometers away, two o'clock in the morning is the time when a person is most relaxed.

The twelve people in the room had fallen asleep, and bursts of snoring came from the room through the window. He Zhennan stood up and walked silently on the snow. His cold face was almost like the ice and snow in the mountains.

He quietly opened the door, and with the moonlight and snow outside shining through the faint light, He Zhennan could clearly see the positions of the twelve people in the room.

The unpleasant stench of decay and blood filled the room, making the group of people sleep soundly. One of them was even scratching his belly and talking in his sleep.

He Zhennan quietly closed the door and pounced directly on the first one!

Before he could even groan, He Zhennan killed the other person on the bed with a single blow of his sword. In the blink of an eye, He Zhennan killed three more people in the room. However, when it came to the fifth person, the man was probably splashed with fresh blood on his face, and he opened his eyes wide and screamed in fear.

"Who are you? Who are you...!!" However, before he could finish the last word, his throat had been cut.

The man's voice woke the others in the room, but in the darkness, apart from the moonlight streaming in through the window, the others could only see He Zhennan's dark shadow. The untrained men felt their scalps tingle, and they quickly jumped up from their beds. In the chaos, someone rushed towards He Zhennan and tried to fight back, but He Zhennan stabbed them in the heart with a backhanded knife.

The man's eyes widened, and a gulping sound came from his throat, which then slipped down.

It only took a few breaths from the time this man counterattacked to the time he was killed by He Zhennan with one sword. He Zhennan's speed and skills were completely incomparable to ordinary people.

Especially at this time, when everyone was extremely panicked and wanted to escape, it was even easier for He Zhennan to take advantage of the chaos.

If this group of people all took up weapons and fought back against him, there might still be a way out. However... these people were all screaming in fear and wanted to escape. They had no intention of resisting at all, so it was much easier to deal with them.

Of course, if these people had the guts, they would have fought the food thief head-on. How could they have singled out the elderly, children, women, and young women for bullying? They are a bunch of cowardly bastards!

"Murder! Murder!!" Someone screamed in horror, running past He Zhennan without even wearing shoes, and staggered towards the door.

The back of He Zhennan's head seemed to have eyes. He kicked the man hard backwards, directly kicking him on the knee. The man staggered and fell to the ground!

When the man fell to the ground, his originally round head was kicked in front of him by someone next to him in panic. In the moonlight, the man came face to face with the hideous and bloody head.

The man actually screamed and fainted. A pool of yellow liquid with a fishy smell spread out from under his pants. He was so scared that he wet his pants!

In just ten minutes, only four of the twelve people in the room were left.

Among them were the group's leader and his deputy. They had completely calmed down, each clutching a sharp axe they'd found from nowhere. Their muscles tensed, their axes clenched, their teeth gnashing, their teeth clenched with the rage to tear the man before them to pieces. How dare someone suddenly barge in while they were resting in the middle of the night and kill so many of their brothers? It was unforgivable!

"You bastard, give me your life! I will chop you into pieces!" The man roared, raised the axe high, with a ferocious face, and followed his companions to chop towards He Zhennan fiercely!

There are four of them, and he doesn't believe that the four of them will lose to one of the other side!

"You don't know what death is!" He Zhennan said with a cold face, and took out another dagger from his waist.

The dagger and short knife on his body were given to him by Qin Suyun before he left that day. He Zhennan touched the handle of the knife lightly with his fingers twice and rushed forward!

At the same time, the other two guys each picked up a chair beside them and attacked He Zhennan from behind. They wanted to take advantage of He Zhennan's flaw while he was fighting with others and take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack!

Bang! ——

With two crisp sounds, the dagger and short knife in He Zhennan's hands directly blocked the axes of the two people in front.

At this moment, the man standing behind He Zhennan who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack him suddenly saw hope. His eyes lit up, he growled, and hit He Zhennan on the head with a chair!

If this attack hits, He Zhennan will at least be seriously injured!
