Old Mrs. Zhu was angry at Wen Xiuya's indiscriminate acts of kindness, so she pulled her over and warned her while suppressing her anger.
"If you were traveling alone, I wouldn't say anything if you planned to save people however you wanted, but do you even know what the situation is like now?"
Wen Xiuying didn't understand what Old Lady Zhu meant, and angrily pushed her away, shouting loudly.
"What could be wrong? You have two cartloads of grain, how come you won't even help a poor person? Are you even human?"
Her voice was so loud it almost echoed throughout the entire forest.
These words made the Zhu family tense instantly, and Tao quickly stepped forward to cover Wen Xiuying's mouth.
Old Mrs. Zhu turned around and gestured to her daughter-in-law to drag Wen Xiuying back. Then, she turned to look at the refugees lying in the grass.
When she looked over, she found that the people on the ground had vanished without a trace.
"Oh no, where is this refugee?"
Reminded by Grandma Zhu, Chen Xiang also noticed that the person in the bushes was gone, and hurriedly turned around to ask his brothers behind him.
Have you seen where this person went?
The rest of the people were all focused on Wen Xiuying and didn't notice the situation of the refugees in the bushes. They all shook their heads blankly.
"Lord Chen, hurry, I feel something is wrong with this refugee."
When Grandma Zhu remembered her granddaughter's reminder, her face turned deathly pale, and even her voice trembled as she spoke.
They could put up a fight against a few bandits, but against fierce and reckless refugees, they were no match at all.
Chen Xiang also vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with the men from earlier. He turned around with a stern face and instructed the others, "Set off immediately."
Upon hearing this, the Zhu family hurriedly finished their porridge and frantically moved everything onto the cart.
The panic of her family woke Xixi from her dream, and she looked around blankly at the situation in the woods.
As it turned out, she did see a familiar figure. Zhu Yanyan was mingling among the refugees, pointing in the direction of the camp and muttering to herself.
【Oh no! No way? Waaah, here we go again?】
Is this little girl bored out of her mind? Trying to ambush someone again?
In order to find out what Zhu Yanyan was doing, Xixi sighed and continued to look in Zhu Yanyan's direction.
At this moment, Zhu Yanyan was wearing a gray coarse cloth long gown, with a red birthmark drawn on her face, and squatted among the refugees to give her explanation.
"I saw that they had meat, water, and rice in their car. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to get our hands on the goods."
Upon hearing the word "food," the refugees' dull eyes lit up with excitement, and they happily revealed their yellow teeth.
Just then, a gaunt man emerged from the bushes and excitedly pointed to the campsite.
"Yes, there are two carts of grain, and I can even smell the aroma of rice."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yanyan grabbed the man's collar and loudly questioned, "Did you see a woman who was about forty years old with a chubby little boy?"
"Yes, she gave me a bowl of plain porridge, but it was kicked away by someone else, and she was even grabbed with her mouth covered." The man pondered for a moment, then nodded in affirmation.
When Zhu Yanyan heard that her mother had been bullied by the Zhu family, her eyes flashed with malice, and she clenched her fists tightly.
"We can't wait any longer! Everyone hurry and grab the food, or they'll run away."
The refugees, who were still hesitating, exchanged glances after hearing Zhu Yanyan's words, picked up the wooden sticks on the ground, and ran towards the camp.
Only after all the refugees had left the jungle did Zhu Yanyan slowly stand up, her gaze fierce. She took out a handkerchief to wipe the birthmark off her face, walked out of the bushes, and came to the carriage filled with officials.
When the clerk saw Zhu Yanyan approaching, he hurriedly bowed and scraped, offering her a handkerchief, and asked with a smile, "Goddess, has the matter been settled?"
"Yes, they've already set off for the camp." Zhu Yanyan took the handkerchief with a cold face, glanced at the dozen or so officers, and immediately looked displeased. "Why are there so few people?"
“Goddess, the master said that too many people might alert the enemy. All of us who came this time are elites and will definitely be able to help you obtain the treasure.”
The advisor obsequiously accepted Zhu Yanyan's handkerchief, handed her the water bag, and explained with a smile.
Zhu Yanyan took the water bag with a cold laugh, without exposing the clerk's intentions. That corrupt official was just worried about wasting resources and dared not act rashly.
However, it doesn't matter. With these people and the resources in her space, she can still put up a fight against the Zhu family.
The Zhu family must pay for her father's violent death in blood.
If I remember correctly, an even more important person is about to appear.
She refused to believe that the Zhu family could once again snatch the person away first.
"Let's go, let's set off."
Zhu Yanyan looked at the woods ahead, handed the water bag to the clerk with a cold smile, and returned to the carriage.
However, Xixi witnessed this entire scene and shook her head helplessly.
[How despicable! They actually incited refugees to attack the group.]
With their current team composition, they are no match for the refugees.
Most of these migrants are from farming families; they are incredibly strong and can take someone down in no time.
Thinking of this scene, Xixi decided to return to the space to think of a solution, otherwise her family would be separated from her by the refugees.
She anxiously babbled and waved her little hands at Liu Shi, trying to get her mother's attention.
Following behind the carriage, Madam Liu looked toward her daughter, having vaguely overheard some of her daughter's words.
Seeing her daughter's anxious little face, she roughly knew that she wanted to sleep, so she swayed her arm as she followed the group.
"Niu Niu, is it time for bed?"
As her mother rocked her, Xixi gradually closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Xixi returned to the space, sighed, and looked at the wall covered with dense images, curiously flying around in front of them.
There seemed to be more images on the wall, all kinds of different people and scenes.
Although she didn't quite understand what these images meant, she decided to enter the government office in Lujia Town to collect grain.
She frantically scrolled through the screen to find the government office, and finally found the government office warehouse amidst the densely packed images.
Then, she zoomed in on the warehouse scene, and with a whoosh, she entered it.
She passed through the space and arrived at the granary of the government office, where she used her bracelet to collect all the grain inside.
In a matter of moments, the huge warehouse was completely empty, with nothing left.
After collecting everything, Xixi turned around and went back into her space, releasing the granary.
The space comes with a built-in organization system, and the messy grains are all neatly returned to the shelves.
The abundance of grain in front of her filled Xixi with immense pride, and she happily spun around in circles.
However, her joy was short-lived, as she soon heard screams from outside the space.
The piercing sound made Xixi tremble. She lay down among the dense images, trying to find pictures of her family.
