"Bang!"

The door that was bolted from the inside was smashed open by everyone's combined efforts, raising a large cloud of dust and causing everyone to pause for a moment.

Turning to look at each other, they could see the excitement in each other's eyes.

Water and food!

Someone swallowed.

"Hu Yunxiao hunted a lot of game before he left, and also killed all the chickens, ducks, and geese at home to make dried meat. But when they left, they only carried a backpack. The rest of the stuff must have been left at home!"

As he spoke, his eyes were shining as he looked at the large yard in front of him, and his hungry and yellow cheeks made him look like a starving beast.

"Yes! They still have cows and horses, so they must still be at home!"

"They collected so much food before and didn't sell any of it. If they could find some food, we wouldn't have to starve!"

"Yes! There must be food at their house! The children are saved!"

Everyone was excited at the door, but no one dared to take a step forward. It was as if there was an invisible wall in front of them, blocking them at the door.

No one wants to be the first to step forward.

No matter whether it was monsters or gods who lived here before, at least everyone has long been afraid of it.

The heated discussion gradually quieted down, and everyone looked at each other, waiting for the other person to step into the yard first.

Until a child pushed through the crowd and ran straight in.

"I want food, I want water! Grandpa, I want water!"

He is the grandson of the village chief.

"Xiaobao!"

The village chief hurried in and saw that his grandson had already reached the center of the yard. He slapped his thigh, exclaimed, and followed him in with big strides.

With the village chief leading the way, the others rushed in instantly. In a short while, hundreds of people crowded into the two courtyards.

Some people went straight to the well in the backyard, while others frantically opened every room to look for possible sources of water and food.

Some people also ran to the backyard and wanted to attack the cattle and horses of the Baichi family.

But soon, everyone's screams were heard in the yard.

"The well has collapsed! It's completely filled with rocks, and there's no water at all!"

"No food! How could there be no food? They clearly didn't have any food to sell!"

"Their cattle and horses are nowhere to be found. Even if they were dead, they would have left behind bones. Did someone steal them? Who is it?"

"They have so much water stored. I saw Hu Yunxiao buy at least ten large water tanks. There's no way they didn't have any!"

"A cellar! There must be a cellar! They must have hidden the food there. Look carefully, you'll definitely find it!"

"Yes! A cellar! There must be a cellar!"

When the people who were full of expectations found nothing, they finally went crazy. Like lunatics, they kept rummaging through Bai Chi's house, trying to find even a grain of rice.

Unfortunately, they are going to be disappointed.

As early as when Hu Yunxiao decided to go into the mountains, he brought the cows and horses in the family to the mountains in the middle of the night while the villagers were asleep.

Not only cattle and horses, but also a lot of food was delivered to the mountain in the middle of the night and carried by the cattle and horses to go with them.

As for what others saw, he was just carrying a simple backpack or something, which was just a trick.

Hu Yunxiao is indeed a man who doesn't care about trivial matters, but he is not a fool. He certainly knows what will happen if the cattle and horses are left in the village.

He couldn't take all the food, but he took away enough seeds for the next year.

Unfortunately, even though Bai Chi's family still has two or three thousand kilograms of grain, even though those people keep walking past their warehouse, even though the warehouse door is wide open.

But everyone was like blind men, frantically searching the yard, even prying open the bluestone slabs in the front yard, but they found nothing.

No water, no food, and no so-called cellar was found.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could there be nothing?"

"It's over, it's over. We have offended the immortal master. Now there is no way out."

"God is going to destroy Qinghe Village!"
