Zhou Ling'an was working in the yard, and Song Ning couldn't hide the murderous intent in his eyes.

Since they can't leave the city anyway, and the rebels don't have such strict rules, it's okay to go out and strangle him now, right? It should be okay, right?

The wound on her head was hurting terribly. She had planned to go into her spatial dimension to get some water while no one was around. She did manage to get the water, but she couldn't go back in.

This space was her lifeline; she could go in and hide when she was in danger. Now, however, she could no longer lie on her soft, comfortable bed.

They couldn't get the things out of the house either.

Most importantly, if she can't get in, she can't farm!

Although there is a lot of food stored now, it will eventually run out. What if she still can't settle down by then? How will she live in the future?

The thought of this made Song Ning feel terrible. She really wanted to strangle Zhou Ling'an to death, otherwise she couldn't swallow this anger.

Tang Xinghuai said that at the time she was lying on the ground, her expression was blank, her eyes were unfocused, and she was not moving at all, but she was still breathing.

At that time, she appeared in the space, but only her consciousness entered.

But now I can't access anything.

Song Ning was about to cry; Zhou Ling'an was a jinx.

Lying down on the bed, Song Ning called out, "Mother."

Liu Yuelan quickly came in: "What's wrong, Er Ya? Do you have a headache again?"

"Let Zhou Ling'an go back. I don't want to see him."

Liu Yuelan glanced outside and comforted her, "Erya, after all, it was the village chief who asked us to stay, so we can't say anything too harsh. Just bear with it, and let him go back when you're better."

Song Ning's head injury no longer hurts, but her heart aches.

She thought she was the chosen one; weren't all the heroines in those novels supposed to have access to spatial abilities?

But I've only ever seen people give out cheat codes, I've never seen anyone take them back.

Oh God, don't you love me anymore? Am I no longer your sweet little darling?

After lying in bed all day, I couldn't resist going for a walk in the yard. As soon as I went out, I saw Zhou Ling'an, and all my mood vanished. As soon as I sat down, Zhou Ling'an brought me some water.

Song Ning quickly moved away from him; her head really couldn't take another hit.

Zhou Ling'an was a little embarrassed: "Er Ya, I'm so sorry, I lost my balance and caused you to fall and hurt your head."

It's quite a coincidence that she broke her head twice because of Zhou Ling'an. Zhou Ling'an must be her nemesis.

"I'm fine now, you can go back."

Zhou Ling'an was somewhat at a loss: "Er Ya, your injuries haven't healed yet. I'll wait until you're better before I leave."

She was a little dazed from the head bump, but the injury to her head wasn't very noticeable.

Song Ning gritted her teeth: "I'm really fine now. You should go back. If you don't go back soon, your mother will come and eat me alive."

Just now, Madam Yu had been lying at the entrance of that hole, her head sticking out, her eyelids drooping, looking back and forth between her and Zhou Ling'an, and every time she looked at her, she would glare at her.

Song Ning felt a chill run down her spine.

Zhou Ling'an saw that Madam Yu was peeking at him, and he was too embarrassed to stay any longer: "Then...then I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you again tomorrow."

As soon as Zhou Ling'an returned, Song Ning quickly moved a large vat next to them. The wall next door was covered with weeds, while their side had nothing. If outsiders came in, their secret would be exposed.

I peeked through the crack in the door and saw that patrols passed by the door approximately every fifteen minutes.

The village chief also asked her what to do next. What could she do? Just wait it out for now.

Now that the rebels have just entered the city, the outside is definitely heavily guarded. It will be difficult to leave the city gate, let alone the courtyard gate.

I'm already thankful to be alive.

However, the opportunity came quickly. A few days after they entered the city, the streets returned to normal, and there were no restrictions except for leaving the city.

The government office also posted notices offering a large sum of money to recruit a doctor.

Having no information at all wasn't a solution, so Tang Xinghuai suggested applying for the job.

"If we get into the government office, we might be able to find out some information."

They don't have any other options right now, so maybe Tang Xinghuai going in would actually work.

"Alright, Dr. Tang, you must be careful. No matter what happens, staying alive is the most important thing."

Tang Xinghuai nodded: "Don't worry, wait for my news."

Tang Xinghuai went to the government office alone, looking as if he were going to blow up a bunker.

There are more people outside now, and fewer patrols. Apart from the occasional abduction of women, everything else seems to have returned to normal.

Two days later, Song Ning and Song Dahai went out on the street.

People on the street looked normal, and there were very few patrols. However, the city gates were heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to approach within a hundred meters.

The village chief also came back with information that all four city gates are now guarded, making it impossible to get out.

"Er Ya, what do you think we should do next?" the village chief asked, worried.

"Let's wait for news from Doctor Tang first."

Tang Xinghuai has been in the government office for three days now. He returned the day he entered to deliver a message saying that he had succeeded, but three days have passed and he has not returned since.

Song Ning had been waiting for news from Tang Xinghuai, but instead of news from here, she received news from outside.

Ten days after the rebels captured Yanzhou City, there was finally some activity outside.

The imperial army finally arrived.

However, the army was stationed outside the city and had not yet entered.

Tang Xinghuai also provided an explanation for why they didn't come in.

"There is gunpowder in the city now, but the rebels have hidden it. If the troops outside the city dare to attack, they will probably not come out unscathed."

"Do you know where those gunpowder are stored?"

Tang Xinghuai shook his head: "I mainly help those people with their medical problems now. I only learned about the gunpowder by chance from those people."

If a real fight breaks out, it will be these innocent civilians who suffer.

She had seen a lot of those on TV before, where those who lost a war, seeing no way to turn the tide, would threaten the lives of the entire city.

The thought of this possibility sent a chill down Chu Ning's spine.

It turns out they've been fleeing famine for so long just to die. As soon as they arrived, the rebel army arrived too, so the rebels didn't have to travel so far to capture them.

Song Ning went to the South Gate again, and this time, there were more than twice as many people at the gate as last time.

Standing on high ground, I looked out through binoculars and could vaguely see the army stationed outside the city, not far from the city gate.

They must be the ones Jiang Shuyue mentioned who came from Shangyang City.

I wish I could send the message out.

People outside dare not come in, and people inside cannot get out; this is a difficult situation.

After thinking about it all the way without finding a solution, Song Ning sighed, "God, please think of a way!"

You brought her here and are just going to leave her like this? Isn't that irresponsible?

She had just finished cursing in her mind when a hand suddenly reached out from behind her and dragged her into the alley next to her.
