She immediately jumped out of bed, scooped some hot snow water from outside the door and wiped her face. After washing her face, she jumped back to sit at the table.

In order to make it more convenient for her to eat, a lot of bowls, spoons, chopsticks, and even tables and chairs were made along the way for her to use.

Shen San carefully divided her breakfast and brought it to her special small table.

The two of them then sat down and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast together.

After eating, she asked about what happened last night.

“The people who came last night were from the village. It is said that they wanted to rob us because they saw that we were generous.” Shen San explained helplessly while washing dishes.

"People from the village? Who?" The only people they had actually spoken to in the village were the elderly people they were staying with. The other villagers basically just nodded and smiled. How did they know they were generous?!

He nodded, confirming her guess: "It's just as you thought. The old man from our family brought everyone in the village to rob us."

Lu Yunxi twitched his eyes. "Are they crazy? An entire village is coming to rob us?!"

"I went to ask around," he shook his head, a complicated look flashing in his eyes, "I heard that the entire village has always made a living by robbing others. There used to be people coming here, but over the years, there have been fewer and fewer people here, so they can't wait to come and cause trouble for us."

She was speechless, but turned around and suddenly thought of the problem she had discovered: "By the way, I noticed that there seemed to be no women and children in the village. Can you tell me what's going on?"

As she spoke, she thought of something bad, her face darkened, and her voice became icy: "When they're starving...could they kill their wives and children?"

Shen San was shocked by her cruel imagination. He paused for a moment before looking at her hesitantly: “It shouldn’t be… that serious, right?”

He went into the main house and questioned the large group of villagers who were tied up separately.

When he returned to the west room, his expression was still very strange.

Lu Yunxi raised an eyebrow, and the light in his eyes became more fierce. "Why? Are they really so cruel?"

He shook his head and sighed, "Master, I've asked around. People here are so poor that they can't afford to raise women. So every few decades, they go out and buy a few women to bear children for them."

"Where are those women?" A cold light flashed in her eyes, but her tone became softer.

"They sold them," he continued, gritted his teeth as he saw his master's incredulous look. "They would sell women after they gave birth, sending them to wealthy families to work as firewood cooks and so on."

Sell ​​it?! Really...

She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. "What about their children? I haven't seen any children in the village! They couldn't have sold the children too, right?!"
