After hearing this, Shuanzi smiled and nodded, then turned and went into the yard to call out the others. The group got on the carriage and slowly set off towards the outside of the town.
Unlike when they came here and hurried on foot, the group went back because they were sitting in the carriage and the weight of the food made them walk very slowly. The only advantage was that it didn't require much physical effort.
As we walked slowly, the sun gradually set in the west.
Wang Miaomiao sat in the driver's seat, looking at the road. Seeing that they were almost near Dashi Village, she said, "Shuanzi, stop the car."
“Ouch~”
The carriage slowly stopped. Wang Miaomiao got out and said, "Shuanzi, you drive the carriage and take the others back first. I will catch up later."
"Leader, where are you going?" Shuanzi asked in confusion.
Wang Miaomiao looked up and saw the worry in his eyes, so she explained, "I'm going to check on the situation in the village. You can drive away first and don't worry about me."
She has a lot of prestige as a team leader.
After hearing this, Shuanzi didn't dare to speak again and nodded in agreement.
Wang Miaomiao stood beside the mountain road, watching the carriage swaying back and forth on the dirt road as it continued to move forward and slowly disappeared from her sight. She felt relieved and withdrew her gaze.
The sun is blazing high in the sky.
Beside the mountain path, tall green trees with branches and leaves cast heavy shadows, and wild grass grows wildly on the ground.
She turned around and used her lightness skills to go into the forest.
The moon-chasing footwork made her as light as a swallow. In a moment she was airborne, her figure changing gracefully. In a few rises and falls, she leaped towards Dashi Village.
Only the mountain path was empty and the birds were startled and flew away.
…
Dashi Village.
A few scattered soldiers were guarding the entrance to the village, and rows of empty freight carts were parked in the open space nearby.
Wang Miaomiao jumped up and landed on a thick and lush tree in the village.
She hid her body with the branches and leaves, secretly observing the soldiers at the village entrance. She felt a little strange when she saw the soldiers looking around with alert expressions.
What are these soldiers on guard against? !
Wang Miaomiao was suspicious about this and quietly went into the village to check.
In the village, every house's door is half open, and the only sound in the empty space is the occasional creaking of the wind and the chirping of cicadas in the trees, making the place seem lonely and eerie.
Wang Miaomiao walked around briefly, from the beginning to the end of the village, and didn't see anyone else.
The only soldiers left in the village are those at the village entrance!
She still felt something was wrong, so she went back to the big tree near the village entrance and continued to observe patiently.
When leading the villagers up the mountain, Wang Miaomiao thought that this group of remnants of the army would not stay long. After all, Dashi Village was very close to Qingshi Town. Once their whereabouts were exposed, they would be seeking death if they faced the Chen army.
As a result, several days have passed and there are still people guarding the village entrance. This seems a bit abnormal.
"Here I come."
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, other soldiers finally appeared in Wang Miaomiao's sight.
She was actually a little unsure whether these people were soldiers, because they were not wearing armor, but they were walking in formation.
"What is that?!"
Wang Miaomiao's eyes fixed, and she looked at the sacks in these people's hands with some disbelief.
The sacks were not tied tightly, and some of them slipped out from the gaps and fell to the ground. She saw it all from the tree, and then she couldn't control the raging anger that ignited in her heart, burning all her reason.
"These people...these people pulled out the unripe crops in the field like this!"
Wang Miaomiao suddenly thought of the daily weeding in the scorching sun by every household in the village, and the manual watering every day due to the drought. They did this every day without a break. So many people in the village worked hard day and night to water the crops, leaving only a small part of them alive.
Now, they have become those green ears of wheat in sacks.
She stared at these soldiers and bandits who appeared out of nowhere without blinking.
These people, not only plundered the land, but also destroyed the hopes of the villagers. The crops that were about to be harvested in a few months were gone.
She clenched her fists, unconsciously tightening them, her nails digging into her flesh.
If these people don't want to leave, then don't leave!!!
In an instant, Wang Miaomiao made a decision in her mind, and then she finally calmed down. She looked coldly at the soldiers and bandits who were moving the sacks onto the car, turned around and left on tiptoe.
The farmland in the village is on the east side, and the land is flat and there is no place to hide.
She walked around and only took a few glances from a distance in the dark.
The crops that were growing neatly in the ground a few days ago and were a little shriveled by the sun now have some parts left empty, revealing the cracked surface of the soil and some roots that were not completely pulled out.
The gaps looked like a pancake that had been nibbled a few times, jagged and disorderly.
Judging from the situation in the fields, it will take several days to harvest all the crops.
Wang Miaomiao came to this conclusion calmly, thinking that these soldiers and bandits would most likely not leave immediately. She felt relieved, turned around and left quietly.
At this time, the sun was setting, the sunset dyed the sky red, and the light gradually dimmed.
In this piece of farmland, a few crows occasionally fly over the green crops.
"quack--"
Their cries echoed in the air, sounding particularly shrill, like some kind of ominous omen.
…
"What did you say?"
Wang Yong's taciturn face frowned, and a rare expression appeared on it.
Shuanzi got off the carriage nervously, scratched his head, and repeated, "Leader, she...she asked me to drive the carriage and bring the others back first, and not to wait for her."
As he spoke, his eyes met the rabbit in the deputy captain's hand that was still holding its eyes open. Somehow he stuttered and his voice became weaker and weaker.
Wang Yong looked at the people getting off the carriage and the food piled on it. His eyes darkened and he said in a deep voice, "In that case, you guys keep an eye on this food cart. No one else is allowed to approach until the leader returns. Do you understand?"
