"Boom!"
"Snap!"
The next second, large raindrops poured down from the sky.
Bai Ziming and Bai Yunfei nestled tightly in Mo Qingcheng's arms, Shangguan Yunxi protected Mu Wanqing, and Shangguan Yichen shielded Mu Yunchuan behind him. The young boy's eyes were sharp, and his face was expressionless.
Yun Lei: "..."
Was I rejected?
Li Changgeng then squeezed in, exchanged glances with Liu Changming and Sun Yunhui, and felt a chill run down his spine.
There were only three cabins, and everyone crowded inside, with children being held in arms so that more people could squeeze in.
Even so, a third of the people couldn't squeeze in, so they could only let their own children and elderly relatives in...
Mo Qingcheng felt a heavy weight in her heart; whether she could escape to the south was still uncertain. The bandits tonight had come prepared…
The villagers were overcome with grief. A third of the matchmaking attempts had not yet been made. It was obvious to anyone with a brain that they were doomed. Why wouldn't they listen to advice?
Didn't the village chief warn that there might be a problem with the water?
As they fled, those who couldn't run anymore complained that their bodies were limp and weak. What else could it be but a water source?
Everyone shivered and endured the cold for more than an hour. Then the wind stopped and the rain ceased, and they gradually returned to their original positions.
A complete mess...
"Village chief, help!"
"Village chief, please look for my grandson!"
"Village chief, I'm begging you! My daughter has been kidnapped..."
The three village chiefs were dumbfounded, standing at a loss for what to do in front of the knees of hundreds of villagers.
Li Changgeng frowned, then glanced at Mo Qingcheng as if she were his savior: "Lady Mo, what do you think?"
Liu Changming and Sun Yunfeng walked forward together. Mo Qingcheng rolled her eyes. Was this trying to make her an enemy?
"Ahem... Three village chiefs, judging from the traces at the scene, it was the work of robbers..."
Mo Qingcheng had been secretly observing her journey. Her findings were quickly confirmed.
It turned out that Mo Qingcheng, hearing the commotion, led the way in running away. Wulala and her group scattered and fled in chaos.
Yanfeng Village suffered heavy losses; its residents, who were already at the rear, could only rest by the river. Half of Bishui Village was also affected.
In fact, most people are unwilling to go into the dense forest because of the mosquitoes and other insects that bite them.
After taking stock, Li Changgeng and his two companions discovered that six young children, seven teenage girls, twenty young men, three cows, four carts, and countless grains of food were missing.
Mo Qingcheng frowned slightly. Something seemed off about this scene—capturing children and young girls… Could it be…?
Everyone shared their harrowing and heartbreaking stories from the previous night.
They were already starving during the famine, and then their only remaining food was stolen. How were they supposed to survive?
The cries of sobbing filled the air. Mo Qingcheng's eyes were deep, her brows furrowed. They couldn't retrieve the items from the Interstellar Farm One...
Shangguan Yichen walked over with a dark face: "Old Huang is injured..."
Mo Qingcheng suddenly realized that when she ran away last night, she seemed to have forgotten about her old ox at the crucial moment.
No, it's not that I forgot, it's that I didn't have time to pay attention...
The boy's hateful gaze fell on Mo Qingcheng's face; this misunderstanding... was quite serious...
Old Huang lay on the ground with a shallow wound on his left leg, probably inflicted by bandits.
"Wait for me!" Mo Qingcheng stood up and disappeared into the dense forest. The children anxiously surrounded Shangguan Yichen, asking the same question repeatedly: "Big brother, will Mother come back?"
Shangguan Yichen was somewhat annoyed: "I don't know."
"Wow! Mommy doesn't want Momo anymore..."
"Big brother is bad, Mother didn't say she didn't want us..."
Bai Ziming and Bai Yunfei took the lead in crying, while Mu Wanqing and Shangguan Yunxi had expressions that said "I don't believe you for a second."
The young boy's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he exuded a chilling aura: "Just wait..."
