Reclaiming My Space at the Start, Not Suffering a Second While Fleeing Famine

Zhou Jiaojiao woke up to find herself transmigrated into a book, becoming the foil character to the female protagonist, who emptied out her resources. Not only was she a fake young lady, but she wa...

Chapter 125 Everyone Disbands

Aunt Huang felt guilty and turned around to leave.

When the village chief saw her like this, he knew what was going on and immediately called for people to stop her, including her son Huang Shuangming.

Although Huang Shuangming accidentally contracted an epidemic in Yuzhou during this period, he recovered. His body was a little weaker than before, but he was not dying. In addition, although the food was not very rich, at least he could have enough to eat. He did not have to starve like before when he was fleeing because Chen Lin took away the food in his home.

Huang Shuangming was actually very grateful to Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu San.

He knew that the government sent food to Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu San because they worked for the government.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Huang Shuangming felt a little disappointed.

Aunt Huang stiffened her neck and said, "You useless thing, what's the point of me giving birth to you? Didn't you see that outsiders bullied your mother?"

Mrs. Chu was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and directly lowered her head to ask Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, tell your aunt why did that old woman bully you just now?"

Although Xiaobao was young, he was actually very smart. Seeing that there were adults around, he said, "Second Aunt, Grandma Huang came over and asked me if I knew whether Third Aunt and Third Uncle had any magical tools. She even tried to trick me with candy. I was afraid and said I didn't know, so she hit me and covered my mouth..."

Needless to say, the villagers all looked at Aunt Huang.

The village chief spoke in an even stern tone.

"Mrs. Huang, why are you asking this?"

"I'm just asking casually, are you trying to force me to death?" Aunt Huang rolled her eyes and refused to admit it.

Huang Shuangming suddenly thought of something. He pointed at Aunt Huang with trembling hands and said, "Mother...did someone ask you to pay him for this?"

As soon as Huang Shuangming said this, many people in the village changed their expressions slightly. Obviously, Aunt Huang was not the first nor the last.

The village chief was a very sharp-eyed man. He looked around and noticed that something was wrong with the villagers.

"Have you all been approached?"

Only a very few people said no, and most people turned their eyes away guiltily.

Aunt Huang gradually became proud. "That man didn't keep his word. He clearly said that if I found out, he would give me the money. But he actually asked so many people in the village. He is really untrustworthy."

"Village Chief, so many people have done this, you can't just pick on me, right?"

"Humph! You are harming Jiaojiao and Chu San. If it weren't for them, would we be able to survive safely until now?"

Aunt Huang was dissatisfied. "If we had followed Chen Lin in the beginning and not angered her, we wouldn't have been able to take advantage of her. Later, it was Zhou Jiaojiao who pressured Chen Lin, and she got angry and wanted to attack the villagers."

The village chief was furious. "Is that what you think? Chen Lin stole our food just because we had a disagreement! With her character, do you believe she will protect you?"

"Stop joking. Just look at you, Old Lady Huang. If you had this magical weapon, would you help the villagers?" The village chief snorted coldly, biting his pipe. "I'm afraid you only want to lead a good life with your family, not help the village."

"Forget it." The village chief sighed, "Dealing with Chen Lin is something that all of us have agreed to. We only put the blame on Chu San and his wife. I wonder who is so shameless."

The village chief deliberately looked around at all the people in the village. Those who felt guilty naturally didn't dare to look him in the eye, while those who had done nothing wrong nodded.

"Let's not talk about this matter. After all, everyone is probably uneasy right now. Rather than being tricked by outsiders into finding out if Jiaojiao has a divine weapon and doing something that goes against your conscience, it's better for you to leave before anything happens."

"Village chief, what do you mean by this?" Aunt Xiong asked in confusion.

The village chief waved his hand and said, "Jiaojiao and the others are leaving. I thought that instead of going so far to live in Youzhou, we should stay in Yuzhou. When the world is peaceful, we can return to our hometown. It is closer here."

"Jiaojiao said that as long as you haven't hurt her, she can help you get your household registration from the government."

"I don't care where you want to go. I'm no longer your village chief."

The village chief waved his hand wearily, feeling a little too embarrassed to see Zhou Jiaojiao.

When Chu Ersao heard the news, she saw that many villagers accepted it quickly, but only people like Huang Pozi, who wanted to do bad things, became anxious.

Mrs. Chu took Xiaohua and Erbao and hurried back. Seeing Chu San in the yard, she lowered her voice and told him about the matter.

Upon hearing this, Chu San just nodded and said he understood.

Mrs. Chu said indignantly, "Mrs. Huang is so heartless. We helped her, but she still wants to harm Jiaojiao. However, I didn't expect so many people in the village to have been bribed by outsiders. Third brother, you and Jiaojiao don't have any magic weapons in your hands, right?"

"No, the artifact has been sent to General Xie." Chu San deliberately raised his voice for some reason.

"But what if people outside don't believe it?" Mrs. Chu was worried from the bottom of her heart.

Chu San said calmly, "If you don't believe me, just kill as many as you can."

"Roar." Mrs. Chu was startled.

Chu San not only did not comfort her, but assigned her a task on the spot, "Second sister-in-law, there will definitely be people chasing us in the future. You should practice using the hidden arrows more, at least you can aim at the enemy. And the knife, you also need to learn how to use it."

Mrs. Chu felt something was strange and subconsciously looked at her hands. She never thought that her hands, which had only been used to kill chickens, would one day be needed to kill people.

However, this was not the first time she faced the enemy with a knife. She was used to it when she was fleeing from the famine. Now she could only nod obediently in front of Chu San.

Chu San was quite satisfied.

He stood up, carried Baoer to the yard next door, and found Hu Liuzi, Fang Nian and others.

"master……"

"Boss..."

Five servants were called over and greeted him subconsciously.

Chu San's tone was relatively calm. "I bought you before. Now, considering that I have taken care of you for so long along the way, I can give you the indentures and you can leave on your own."

"What?"

The other three were a little surprised.

Immediately after that, there was a thud, and Fang Nian knelt down, "Boss, I won't leave."

He had a stubborn look in his eyes.

Hu Liuzi was a little skeptical. "Master, are you really willing to sell your body to me? Without money?"

"No need. If you want to leave, I will give you the indenture contracts now." Chu San didn't say anything nonsense. He reached out and took out several indenture contracts from his arms. Hu Liuzi handed him the first one.

Hu Liuzi hesitated for a while, then finally reached out to take it and knelt down in front of Chu San. "Master, I have no way of repaying your life-saving grace. If you need me in the future, I will definitely work for you again."

But he didn't want to be a servant, he had to leave descendants for the Hu family.

Chu San waved his hand and let Hu Liuzi leave.
