Xiao Yunying slept very soundly.

When she opened her eyes, she came out of the supermarket and looked at the sky. It was already dark, and she estimated that it was around eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Back at the supermarket, I grabbed a mirror and some cosmetics and gave myself a makeover.

She wasn't very good at makeup. In her previous life, she was afraid of allergies, so she only used lip balm and lotion that she had tested and confirmed were safe. She never used any makeup.

Therefore, I could only do a simple eyebrow drawing and apply a slightly darker foundation to my face and hands to make myself less fair.

Then she found some cloth, cut it to the right size, wrapped it around her chest, put on Ling Qi's loose coat, and looked in the mirror.

"It'll have to do."

Her makeup skills were really poor; at first glance, you couldn't tell she was a woman, she looked like a handsome man with slightly dark skin.

I grabbed a piece of bread, ate it, and left the supermarket, then looked at the tower through binoculars.

"They're gone?"

There was no one in either tower; the gates were tightly shut, and there was no one guarding the outside.

After finishing her bread and throwing the binoculars back into the supermarket, Xiao Yunying walked along the village wall to the right under the moonlight.

After walking for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, she quickened her pace and rushed to the base of the wall, where she lay down and listened to what was happening inside.

"Why are you acting like a thief?"

Xiao Yunying muttered something under her breath.

However, this is much more dangerous than stealing; the consequences of being caught are unimaginable.

She couldn't hear anything inside, so she decided to try exploiting a bug in the supermarket and using its ability to ignore obstacles and move freely within a five-meter radius to pass through the wall.

Upon entering the supermarket and exiting, the scene before her eyes had changed. Xiao Yunying knew that she had successfully entered the village, but she hadn't infiltrated directly like that.

Instead, they stood still and quickly went in and out.

She had decided that if she heard screams, she would pretend to be a ghost to scare people.

This way, you won't be in danger, and you won't arouse suspicion or increase vigilance.

Just imagining it makes me realize how terrifying it would be to see a shadowy figure flickering in the middle of the night.

She would definitely be scared if she saw it.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual around her, Xiao Yunying came out one last time and did not go back in. She ran to the back of the wooden house in front and hid there.

It was pitch black here; it didn't look like anyone was there.

The lights are bright in the distance; there must be people there.

She mustered her courage and hid in the darkness, walking towards the light. Every so often, she would enter the supermarket to prevent anyone from approaching her silently should she be discovered.

The person who had been staring suddenly disappeared from the spot, which would scare them to death.

When she was very close to the house with lights, she took out her binoculars and looked inside.

Inside, there was a large hall, similar to a council chamber, with about a hundred people eating and drinking, as if celebrating some happy occasion.

A few people came out, complaining about things like, "They just bully the newbies and make them carry wine."

Xiao Yunying thought for a moment and decided to follow them from a distance.

They saw the group of people enter a house, and soon after, one of them came out carrying two wine jars and left.

After they left, Xiao Yunying carefully went inside and quickly poured the sleeping pill powder that she had mentally ground in the supermarket into the outermost row of wine jars, shaking it vigorously to dissolve the powder.

"I don't know if the dosage is enough."

She didn't dare put in too much, afraid that the group would taste the bitterness.

Hearing footsteps outside, Xiao Yunying's heart tightened, and she quickly went into the supermarket.

After waiting a while, I heard the door close and made sure it was quiet outside. When I came out, I saw that half of the wine jars in the row in front of me were gone.

After thinking for a moment, he ground some more medicinal powder and poured it into the row of wine jars behind him.

She swirled the wine jar, muttering, "Comrades, drink more, don't be shy."

After doing all this, she opened the door a crack, made sure no one was outside, and then quickly ran behind other cover.

"Which way should we go now?"

She knew nothing about the area and felt it was quite large, so searching around randomly would be a waste of time and unsafe.

I remember the officers saying that this bandit den had more than two hundred people, and there were only about a hundred in that hall. I don't know if the rest of them went down the mountain and didn't come back, or if they were drinking somewhere else.

Just as Xiao Yunying was about to leave, she saw someone approaching from not far away.

She took two steps back and disappeared into the darkness, where she saw two women, one around thirty and the other around forty.

The younger woman, carrying a food box in one hand and a cloth bag in the other, went into the room where the wine was kept and came out carrying a jar of wine.

"Could a woman who can move freely in a bandit's den be a member of the bandits' family?"

She immediately decided to follow the two women. Following the man might attract attention, and these two women didn't seem to know martial arts. If she was careful, she shouldn't be discovered.

I followed the two of them discreetly until they arrived at a somewhat secluded house.

A table was set up in the open space in front of the house, and two people were sitting there drinking.

After the woman, who looked to be around thirty, laid out the food from the food box, Xiao Yunying took a cloth bag, opened the door, and went into the house.

Through the gate, you can see children sitting together huddled together inside.

"My goodness, we're so lucky to have found the room where the children are kept."

After the two women left, Xiao Yunying went around in a big circle, ran to the back of the house, found a window, and quietly peered through it to observe the situation inside.

There are nine children in total. The oldest is estimated to be eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest should be Chen Yuanxuan.

Chen Yuanxuan was asleep against the wall when a boy next to him nudged him with a steamed bun. He woke up, thanked the boy, and took the bun.
