Xu Jinhuan smiled and assured her, "Auntie, don't worry, with your promise, I will definitely be more careful."
After Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, he turned to look out the window, squinted at the dark figure that had already reached the halfway point of the mountain, and then quickly left the house.
She walked very fast and almost bumped into Xie Datou who was coming from the opposite direction.
"Boss, why are you in such a hurry?"
Xie Datou looked at Xu Jinhuan with a puzzled expression and asked.
Xu Jinhuan pointed towards the door and said with a hint of seriousness, "They're here."
Xie Datou immediately understood Xu Jinhuan's meaning, and he quickly reported on the progress he had made.
"The ropes have been tied up, and the cellars have been found, but only two have been found, one in the original kitchen and one in the corner wing."
The kitchen cellar was larger, able to hold about a hundred people, while the other cellar was smaller, able to hold only about twenty people.
Xu Jinhuan nodded, "That's enough. You take two people to subdue Xiao Li first, then remove the shackles from the men, and give each of them a weapon for self-defense."
I led the women and children into the cellar to hide first. After settling them in, I will join you.
Xie Datou nodded first, then asked hesitantly, "Boss, we only have a limited number of weapons. Even if we had more, it wouldn't be enough for so many people to share."
Xu Jinhuan smiled. You don't have weapons, but I do. Everything I plundered before is in my spatial storage, and now it's coming in handy!
"I've made preparations. You can just bring someone to your room to get it in a bit."
Because of the Loyalty Pill, Xie Datou cannot betray Xu Jinhuan, so she doesn't mind showing a little bit of her own differences.
Xie Datou simply nodded honestly after hearing this, but then, still worried about Xu Jinhuan, he added a few words.
"Boss, we should have enough people. You can stay in the cellar with them and wait for our good news."
Xu Jinhuan smiled mysteriously, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and then turned and went to the house where Xie Datou had lived before.
After rummaging through the swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks in the space, he selected some less conspicuous swords and threw them into the house like junk.
After turning around and closing the door, he went back to the room where he had been.
If you were to ask who she most wanted to live among the exiled group, it would be the kind-hearted, plump auntie and her family.
As for the Xu family and their group, let them die if they deserve to; they're just wasting food if they're alive anyway.
"Jin Huan, are you alright?"
As soon as the plump auntie saw Xu Jinhuan come in, she quickly went to greet her, carefully looked at Xu Jinhuan, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was alright.
"Auntie, I've found the cellar. Take your things and come with me in a bit."
The plump auntie quickly nodded, "Mingren and Mingli, take the packages and follow behind your sister, hurry up and go to the cellar."
The two chubby little boys, holding hands and carrying large bags on their backs, walked towards Xu Jinhuan.
Xu Jinhuan understood what the plump aunt meant, and she looked at her in surprise, "Auntie, aren't you going?"
The plump woman shook her head. "I won't go. If the bandits break in and find no one in the house, they'll definitely search everywhere. It'll be better if Mingren's father and I stay outside and deal with them."
"Jin Huan, I'm at ease leaving the children in your care."
Xu Jinhuan was surprised that Aunt Bai Pang had thought so much in such a short time, so she quickly said.
“Auntie, I just ran into the head constable. He personally arranged for the women and children to hide in the cellar first, and the men will also take off their shackles, pick up weapons and fight the enemy together. We will all survive.”
Aunt Bai Pang was surprised that Xu Jinhuan had done so much in just a short time, and upon hearing this, she immediately made a decision.
"Okay, then I'll go with you to the cellar."
Xu Jinhuan nodded and said to everyone in the room, "The bandits are coming. Women and children, quickly take your things and come with me."
The people inside had been carefully observing Xu Jinhuan ever since she returned, and when they heard her say this, they felt as if the sky was about to fall.
"Are there really bandits?!"
"Oh dear, what do we do now?!"
"God, please have eyes! We've already had so much bad luck, why are you still bullying us!"
Xu Jinhuan frowned upon seeing this. Instead of wasting time crying and wailing, wouldn't it be better to pack up your things?
With that thought in mind, she ignored the others and hurried to other rooms to inform them.
After all, the task was simply to lead most of the people to the place of exile; one more or one less would make no difference.
She was merely a ruthless executor whose goal was to obtain the Spirit Spring Space.
Xu Jinhuan ran around to all the surrounding houses, notifying everyone except the one where the Xu family lived alone.
There's nothing we can do; she's a petty person.
After informing the women and children to gather outside the kitchen, Xu Jinhuan waited in the kitchen.
The plump auntie soon arrived with two chubby boys, followed by several other women with children.
"The cellar is here. Everyone, please go in in an orderly fashion," Xu Jinhuan said, pointing to the cellar entrance.
The plump woman nodded, first letting the two children climb down the ladder, and then she followed suit.
Others followed suit, letting the children go down first, and then slowly going down themselves.
However, although people were still climbing down one by one, the kitchen, which was not very big to begin with, became crowded as more and more people arrived.
Suddenly, a somewhat sarcastic voice reached everyone's ears.
"Make way, everyone! This old woman is still outside. Why should you younger people like me go in first?"
After saying that, one person forcefully charged through the crowd, carving a path through it.
Xu Jinhuan looked up and saw a mean-looking old woman smiling and calling out to those behind her.
"Yaozu, come to your grandmother quickly. The bandits will be here soon. Your grandmother will take you to a safe place."
Then, a young man with a somewhat sleazy appearance walked out from the crowd.
His appearance drew some dissatisfaction from those around him.
Everyone initially thought it was a child being called, so they made way for it. But it turned out to be a young man. Isn't this a place specifically for the elderly, women, and children to hide in?
How could someone his age have the nerve to do that?
"Hey Madam Lin, your son Yaozu is already twenty this year, how can you let him squeeze in with us?"
"That's right, all the other men have been freed from their shackles and are ready to fight the bandits to the death, but you're here with such a big grandson, competing with the children for a spot."
Upon hearing this, Madam Lin was displeased. "Let whoever wants to fight, fight. My Yaozu is the only male heir of the Lin family. I can't let him take this risk."
