Liu Sisi returned to her space, changed out of her red clothes, put on her own clothes, released the two unconscious bandits from the space and threw them into the chicken coop, then walked out of the chicken coop.
"Young Master Gu, I'm hiding here! Have someone take these two bandits away! They've fainted from fright at the Snake Immortal!"
Gu Lingchen rushed to Liu Sisi's side and checked her over carefully. Seeing that she was indeed alright, he finally felt relieved.
"Sisi, I'm glad you're alright. I'll head back now; I still have some things to take care of." Gu Lingchen wanted to go back and see how Magistrate Zhou was dealing with the bandits, and then write a letter to report what had happened here to his father.
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work," Liu Sisi replied.
After Gu Lingchen left, Liu Sifu and the men in the village were also released.
The moment Li Caiping saw Liu Sifu, she went straight up and grabbed his hand.
"Brother Sifu, you scared me to death! Luckily we're all alright," Li Caiping said with tears in her eyes. Liu Sifu also squeezed her hand in response, feeling sorry for her.
The villagers who had survived the ordeal embraced their families.
Liu Dashi and Wu Shi Liu Sifu also looked at Liu Sisi with concern, and were relieved to see that she was indeed not injured.
When Zhou Lizheng came out and saw that the village was in a mess, he immediately organized people to clean up the village. He also found the grain and valuables that had been stolen by the bandits in the neighboring yard.
Since no one knew how much grain each family had, they could only divide five jin among themselves. The silver bracelets would be returned as long as the details were described. The only problem was how to divide the silver.
Because some families have money while others don't, it's easy for conflicts to arise if the money isn't divided properly.
In the end, they had no choice but to exchange all the silver for grain and divide it equally. Fortunately, everyone survived the ordeal and no one caused trouble.
Liu Sisi's family didn't receive any grain; they only took back the half-bag of japonica rice, since only her family could afford it, and no one else objected.
Surprisingly, there was no trouble at Liu Yuanshan's old house this time. Most of the villagers agreed, so their protests were useless.
Old Wang and her two daughters-in-law were also quite frightened and no longer had the ability to cause trouble.
They were saved thanks to the snake spirit, which made everyone believe in the snake spirit even more.
I used to believe it, but back then I only considered it as a story and believed it because of the influence of my ancestors.
This time, they witnessed the snake spirit descend with a fairy to save them.
After the village was cleaned up, Zhou Lizheng had the villagers put the ancestral tablets of the snake spirit in their homes. No one objected; everyone was supportive.
Only Li Ergou's family did not receive any food, because their house was intact. It is unknown whether it was because their house was far from the village or something else, but the bandits did not search their house.
Moreover, his family wasn't home. Li Ergou took his two sons and Yang Shi to Yang Shi's parents' home, but he didn't bring Li Guifen with him.
After everyone left, Li Guifen woke up from the ground. This time, she had really offended everyone in the village. She actually wanted to drag everyone down with her, so now no one pitied her anymore. They all went home and ignored her.
Seeing that everything had returned to normal, she felt somewhat unwilling, and then limped back home.
She knew that going back would inevitably mean another beating and scolding from Li Ergou. In the past, she could still get some food from Liu Sisi to take back to her father.
Now that Liu Sisi's family is all so fierce, she can't get the better of them, and her father's attitude towards her is getting worse and worse.
When Liu Sisi and the others returned home, they saw that the house had been vandalized and was in a mess, so the family began to clean it up.
Wu checked under the bed where she kept her silver notes. Fortunately, the bandits hadn't found her box, and the five hundred taels inside were still there. She patted her chest and said, "Thank goodness."
However, the bandits had smashed all the kimchi they had put in the kitchen, so it seemed they would have to make it all over again.
After finally finishing tidying up the house, Wu realized, "Oh dear! Husband, why hasn't Sixi come back yet! It's already dark!"
"Don't worry, Mother, my brother and I will go up the mountain to take a look," Liu Sisi said.
At this moment, Liu Sixi encountered an old man who had fallen into a pit and was trying to find a way to rescue him!
He had found a lot of new herbs today and was carrying his basket on his back, heading back home, when he heard someone shouting for help.
He cautiously followed the sound and saw an injured old man who had somehow fallen into the pit. Fortunately, the pit wasn't very deep and there were no sharp objects inside, but the old man had still injured his leg after falling in.
"Grandpa, I'll find you a vine. Can you use it to climb up?"
Liu Sixi saw that the pit wasn't very deep, so he wanted to try to pull the person out.
But after several attempts, he still couldn't succeed, and the old man's injured hand left him with no strength.
He heard his older brother and younger sister's voices calling out, "Fifth Brother!" and "Fifth Brother!"
She immediately responded, "Little sister, big brother, I'm here." Liu Sisi had good hearing and heard her quickly, so she brought her older brother over.
"Fifth Brother, why aren't you home yet? It's so late. Parents are worried sick," Liu Sisi asked.
"Little sister, big brother, there's an injured grandpa here. I want to help him, but I've tried many times with a vine, and he's too weak to pull me up. What should I do?"
Liu Sisi saw that the pit wasn't very deep. The old man had already fainted from exhaustion. She didn't know how long he had been in there. He was injured and hungry, and if it dragged on any longer, his life would be in danger.
Eldest brother, go find a doctor first. He'll definitely need treatment when we get back. Fifth brother, go back and call Father for help.
"Okay," the two replied and went their separate ways.
After the two left, Liu Sisi called out to Xiyu, then sat on its snake body and put the old man on Xiyu's back. Xiyu straightened its body, and the old man's body was pushed out of the pit.
When Liu Dashi arrived, he didn't even have time to ask any questions. He carried the old man home on his back. Before he arrived, Liu Sisi had already fed him water from the Bagua River. The old man should wake up soon.
When they arrived home, Dr. Li was already waiting. He went up to examine the old man and found that the wound had become somewhat festering. He treated the wound, applied medicine, and checked the pulse. He said that the injury was not serious and that the old man would recover after a few days of rest.
Little did he know that it was because Liu Sisi had given him water from the Bagua River that he had this problem; otherwise, there would probably have been a much bigger issue.
Not long after, the old man woke up and saw that it was Liu Sixi and his family who had saved him.
"Thank you all for saving my life. I'm so sorry to have troubled you." He tried to get up and bow, but his legs were still immobile.
"Old man, don't be so polite," Liu Dashi said, "You should take care of yourself first." He brought him the porridge that Wu had cooked.
"Grandpa, the doctor said you haven't eaten for two days, so you can only have porridge for now." Once your stomach has adjusted, I'll have my wife make you some other food.
"Thank you so much," the old man said, taking the porridge and eating it.
"Grandpa, how did you fall into that pit?" Liu Sisi asked curiously.
