Lin Ru suddenly transmigrated into the female protagonist of a BE novel from an era of sci-fi cultivation!

She holds the script and is not panicked at all!

She is determined to turn thi...

Chapter 57 Sneak Attack

Lin Ru smiled as she looked at her three silly younger brothers!

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and wash it and eat it!"

Her three younger brothers then realized what was happening, picked up their baskets and pheasants, and quickly ran out!

After a while, they came running back with the washed fruit in their hands!

"Elder sister! You must try this, it's so sweet!"

"Yes! And this apple is very sweet, although this plum is a bit sour, but it tastes great!"

"The uncles and aunts in the village all ask us where our fruit comes from?"

"I told them my sister picked them from the mountain! They were all very envious!"

"Oh, right! Mother gave some to Grandpa and Grandma! And she gave the chicken to Grandma to cook! She said she'd make chicken soup! And a chicken stew with mushrooms! She's also going to make horse meat today!"

Lin Ru nodded, took a pear, and started eating.

These pears are incredibly juicy, and each bite is refreshingly sweet and thirst-quenching! Plus, the skin is so thin! They're absolutely delicious!

She remembered that he wouldn't ascend to heaven or change his name; he had good taste!

She smiled as she looked at her three younger brothers!

"Oh, right! Remember to tell Mother to rub salt on the leftover horse meat and make it into cured meat! That way it can be stored for longer!"

"And tell them not to be reluctant to eat the fruit, I still have more! I just put them all away!"

Lin Bai smiled and nodded, "Elder sister! Don't worry, Mother has already taken care of everything!"

Lin Ru remembered the anti-poison pill in her space, so after finishing the pear in her hand in a few bites, she took out two more from her bosom!

Just like before, she handed the whole thing to Lin Bai, and gave half to Lin Mo and half to Lin Qing!

"Eat this! After you eat this, you'll be like me, immune to those sleeping pills and poisons!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai and the others were surprised to learn that she was just as capable as their elder sister, and they quickly swallowed the medicine!

"Elder sister! That wandering Taoist priest is such a good person. If it weren't for him, we might not have survived. If we meet him again, we must thank him properly!"

Lin Ru smiled and nodded. About an hour later, as dusk fell, the food was finally ready.

Rong Peiyu cooked rice this time! Because she knew her family had big appetites, she also made a lot of flatbreads! And boiled potatoes!

And the dish also contained a lot of random wild vegetables!

There were 19 people in total, and they cooked five large pots of rice and vegetables!

Because Bai felt embarrassed to always eat at her parents' house, she brought over a bag of grain and a lot of seasonings!

This makes the dishes taste even better!

This aroma further solidified Wu Ling's resolve, who was hiding in the shadows, to lead his people to follow Lin Ru!

Lin Ru hadn't had such hot, soupy food in a long time! Her appetite was whetted, and she ate a lot!

There wasn't a single dish left from those five large pots of food!

The Bai family ate everything clean!

This might be the most satisfying meal they've had since they fled the famine!

After finishing the meal, everyone felt sleepy!

I haven't had a proper rest these past few days because I've been traveling day and night!

Now they not only have enough to eat and enough water to drink, but they also don't have to sleep in the wild, which makes them very satisfied!

But just as they had fallen asleep, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door!

"Village chief! Something terrible has happened! Erdan and the others seem to have eaten something bad; they're vomiting and having diarrhea!"

Bai Chengye could only put on his clothes and go see what was going on.

When he arrived there, Bai Chengen had already arrived as well!

"Big brother, what brings you here too?"

"Didn't I tell them? You don't need to come over, I can handle it myself!"

"You should go back and rest. They've mistaken water hemlock for water celery and eaten it!"

Bai Chengye saw his third brother and two nephews yawn!

"It's good that it can be resolved! Thank you for your hard work, Third Brother!"

The two brothers exchanged a few more words to understand the ins and outs of the matter before Bai Chengye looked angrily at the adults in Erdan's family!

"Haven't I told you not to let the kids eat random things outside? Even adults have to show my third brother and the others any wild vegetables they come across that aren't guaranteed to be safe!"

"Don't think you're so smart! Nobody wants to steal your little things!"

"If it happens again, we won't care! Those wild vegetables won't kill you even if you don't eat them, but if you do, you might just die! You always hide everything you come across!"

“My third brother’s medicine doesn’t come from thin air. He’ll prescribe the medicine for your children in a bit, and then you can give each family a pound of grain as payment for the medicine!”

The villagers knew they had done wrong and repeatedly agreed!

Bai Chengye went back to rest, and about two hours later...

Suddenly, the sound of gongs rang out outside!

They found these gongs on the road; they found two in total, so the people patrolling at night would carry these two gongs with them!

If you encounter danger, immediately sound the gong as a warning!

Now everyone should pack their things and prepare to leave!

Lin Ru and the others quickly opened their eyes and hurried out!

Their belongings were all kept together with the Bai family's, and the Bai brothers took turns guarding them!

They quickly ran to where they had put their things and breathed a sigh of relief when they found they were still there!

They left a few people to guard these things, while the rest of them rushed towards the source of the sound!

Tonight's night watchmen happen to be Diao Yan and Xue Bao, both of whom know some martial arts. Each of them will bring ten men to patrol the area together!

In the first half of the night, everyone was a bit tense because of the poisoning of Erdan and the other kids. It was almost time for the villagers to change shifts at midnight, but unexpectedly, during the shift change, when no one was paying attention to their surroundings, someone came to launch a sneak attack!

A long knife stabbed straight at the villager in the corner!

It was Diao Yan, who was standing nearby, who saw the cold glint of the knife under the moonlight. He immediately stepped forward and pulled the villager aside, thus saving his life!

Seeing that his first attack had failed, the man began to swing his long sword again, sweeping it horizontally towards Diao Yan!

Diao Yan quickly picked up the knife in his hand and began to defend himself, but at this moment, even more people surged up from behind the man!

The villager in charge of holding the gong began frantically banging it as a warning!

Upon seeing this, the refugees who had suddenly attacked rushed forward one after another!

Xue Bao jumped onto a nearby wall, picked up the bow and arrows he had been carrying on his back, and shot them at the fierce-looking refugees!

Seeing those around them fall one by one, the refugees showed no sign of retreating!

They had all heard that there was water in this village!

And there's more than one well with water!

They hadn't had water for six or seven days, and if they didn't get any soon, they would die. So they hid in the nearby forest for three or four hours, hoping to let any refugees who followed them know that there was water in the village.

Those people were gathered together! There were probably seven or eight hundred of them! They were just waiting to ambush them that night!

Just as evening was falling, they could smell the aroma of meat wafting out of there!

This drove them even crazier!

It's a do-or-die situation! It's either you or me, so I don't care about the lives of those around me at all!

By the time Lin Ru and the others arrived, the situation was already out of control!
