It seems that she must be more careful to prevent those families from secretly sabotaging her.
However, Xiao Ling'er still underestimated human nature. She thought that those people would at most secretly attack the excavator to prevent everyone from clearing the land.
She never expected that one night three days later, a group of thieves broke into the village.
As soon as they entered the village, they started killing and destroying everything, and the villagers fled in all directions.
Xiao Ling'er suddenly stood up and listened carefully. Faint breathing sounds could be heard from all around the Misty Village.
Finding that the entire Misty Village was surrounded by thieves, Xiao Linger couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Damn it!"
He quickly went to the next room and woke up Mu Xiya, "Mother, wake up quickly, wake up quickly."
Mu Xiya woke up and looked at Xiao Ling'er with a confused face. Xiao Ling'er said "hush" and whispered, "Mother, hide in the dark room downstairs."
"Lingling, what happened?" Mu Xiya looked around vigilantly and asked in a low voice.
"Thieves have entered the village. Mother, please hide in the dark room." Xiao Ling'er looked very serious.
"Lingling, what about you?" Mu Xiya asked worriedly.
Xiao Linger looked into Mu Xiya's eyes and assured her, "Mother, I'm going to the village. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."
Although Mu Xiya still looked worried, she nodded and quickly went downstairs to the dark room.
"Ding ding ding", at this time, the deafening sound of gongs and drums came from all around. At the same time, torches were also lit, illuminating the entire misty village.
Xiao Ling'er also saw clearly that there were at least two hundred thieves around, some of them holding torches, some holding sticks, and some holding swords.
A rough and threatening voice suddenly sounded: "Villagers of Misty Village, listen up! If you don't want to die, hand over your food and money, and then move to the center!"
All the villagers did not dare to resist and could only hand over their food and money and were forced to move towards the center.
Xiao Ling'er was also in the crowd. She looked at Ren Yanran, who was also moving towards the middle, and the two nodded in tacit understanding.
The thieves were very satisfied to see that the villagers were obedient. They left some thieves to guard the villagers, and the rest rushed into other people's homes and robbed them.
The villagers watched helplessly as the thieves moved all their food onto the horse-drawn carriages at the village entrance. No one dared to stand up to stop them, and they could only curse in their hearts.
After the thieves moved the food, they did not leave immediately. Instead, they returned to the village with lewd smiles. The leader, holding up a torch, looked at the crowd and ordered, "Take the women away, and kill the men and the old scholar!"
"Okay, big brother!" Dozens of thieves stepped forward excitedly.
Xiao Ling'er and Ren Yanran looked at each other again, and they moved at the same time, one forward and the other backward.
A moment later, Xiao Ling'er and Ren Yanran looked at the villagers and thieves lying on the ground.
The two smiled at each other, and then Ren Yanran saw Xiao Ling'er take out two thick and long ropes like magic and throw one of them at her.
He kept one rope for himself and strung up the thieves with a rope. Seeing this, Ren Yanran followed suit and strung up the remaining thieves.
Xiao Ling'er went forward and checked among the refugee group, but did not find Chen Laosan's family or the other three families close to his family.
He raised a torch and looked around. A few hundred meters away, he saw a dozen dark shadows sneaking towards Misty Mountain.
Xiao Linger's eyes narrowed instantly, and she quickly told Ren Yanran, "Sister Yanran, keep an eye on them. I'm going to catch some mice."
"Go ahead, you can rest assured here!" Ren Yanran immediately understood what Xiao Ling'er meant.
