The village chief, however, remained clear-headed. Seeing that everyone was only focused on rejoicing, he quickly raised his voice and said, "Quick, everyone, stop being so happy! We must split up and act according to what we agreed to last night. We can't delay for a moment and get out of here! If we delay any longer and someone suddenly comes, we'll be in danger again. Let's go!"
The village chief's words were like a slap in the face, bringing everyone back to their senses from their joy. Everyone nodded, and then quickly began to act separately in an orderly manner according to last night's plan, preparing to escape from this dangerous place.
Several strong men took the lead and ran towards the stable. Their footsteps made a dull sound in the silent night, but they did not care whether they would alarm others.
When they arrived at the stable, they saw their own cows and mules at a glance. The familiar figures made them feel at ease.
He hurried forward to untie the reins, skillfully soothed these animals that worked hard every day, and prepared to take them away.
However, when they glanced at the remaining horses in the stable, a few clever people's eyes turned and they instantly came up with an idea.
They thought that it was a waste to keep these horses here, so it would be better to drive them away together. Maybe they could be of great use in the future.
So, after a few people exchanged glances with each other, they quickly untied the horses' reins, gently patted their bodies, and drove them towards the warehouse together.
At the same time, another group of people hurried to the warehouse.
This warehouse is usually heavily guarded, but now that everyone has successfully drugged the person, no one tried to stop them.
When they pushed open the door, they saw the gold stored inside gleaming attractively in the dim light.
You know, the gold in this warehouse is moved every ten days, and today happens to be the seventh day, and it is not yet time for the next move. Unexpectedly, everyone has caught up with such a "good opportunity", which is a good deal for everyone.
Without saying a word, everyone took out the cloth bags, baskets, etc. that had been prepared long ago, and using their hands and feet, filled them with all the gold, silver and treasures. After they were full, they carried them on their shoulders or placed them on the backs of livestock, ready to be transported away.
Others headed for the granary.
The granary was filled with a faint aroma of grain, and bags of grain were piled up like mountains.
These people were filled with joy when they saw the full warehouse of grain, as it would guarantee their future survival.
They acted quickly. Some of them carried a bag of grain in groups of two and walked out, while others pushed carts carrying several bags of grain slowly forward. They worked together to move all the grain away, not wanting to leave a single grain behind.
The rest of the people came to the kitchen.
The kitchen was filled with all kinds of kitchen utensils, including pots, pans, and some leftover food and vegetables scattered in the corner.
These people were not vague. They collected all the kitchen utensils that could be taken away, wrapped them in cloth, and tied them tightly to prevent them from making noise during transportation.
As for the remaining food and vegetables, they were all put into bags, and buckets were filled from the well. Then they followed the main force and prepared to leave this dangerous place with these supplies.
Before leaving this dangerous place, everyone did not forget the people in the two next rooms.
They sent a few brave and careful people to tiptoe to the next house.
One of them took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and gently knocked on the door of the first room next door.
"Knock, knock, knock," the knocking sound was particularly crisp in the quiet night, but it was also carried with a hint of caution, for fear of disturbing someone who should not be disturbed.
After a while, there was a rustling sound in the room, as if someone was approaching the door.
The person knocking on the door quickly lowered his voice and said, "Everyone in the room, we are from next door. I want to tell you something. We have drugged everyone in the villa and made them pass out. Now is a good time to escape. If you want to leave, pack up your things and leave."
There was silence in the room for a moment, and then a doubtful voice was heard: "Is this true? Are you guys kidding us?"
The person knocking on the door explained anxiously, "Really? We took great pains to put the drug in their water. I just checked and the whole villa is silent. They've indeed all fainted. This is a rare opportunity. If we miss it, it's gone."
However, there was no response from the room, as if the people in the room were still hesitating and unable to make up their minds.
Helpless, they went to the second house next door and knocked on the door as well.
This time, the noise in the house was louder, yet nothing moved.
It seems that the people in this house did not listen to them and ate dinner tonight.
However, everyone felt that they had done their best by being able to tell them this.
Time was running out and there was no time to waste. Everyone drove the livestock, carrying gold, silver, grain and other supplies collected from warehouses, granaries, kitchens and other places, and took advantage of the deep night to run hurriedly in the direction away from the entrance of the villa, no longer paying attention to those who were still hesitating and watching, just hoping to get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible.
Finally, the group hurriedly arrived at the gate of the villa.
At this time, although everyone looked a little tired, there was an irrepressible excitement and eagerness in their eyes. After all, they were finally going to escape from this place.
Everyone hurriedly called out to the elderly and children, and carefully helped them onto the vehicles that had been prepared.
After the elderly and children were settled, everyone quickly jumped on their respective means of transportation, either riding horses, or driving ox carts or mule carts, and then drove them without hesitation and left the place quickly.
The rolling of wheels and the clatter of horse hooves made a series of sounds in the silent night, as if telling the story of this thrilling escape journey.
Among the crowd, Yao Qingshuang was also preparing to leave with everyone else.
Before leaving, she stopped and looked back at the villa where she had stayed for several days.
At this moment, the villa seemed particularly quiet under the cover of night. The rows of houses and corridors seemed to be immersed in sleep, without the noise and terror of the past.
Yao Qingshuang stared at all this quietly, and her mind couldn't help but emerge with everything she had experienced here in the past few days.
Looking back on what happened in the villa these days, although I did suffer some hardships, there were many days of fear and worry.
However, she also knew in her heart that the harvest this time was quite huge.
She took advantage of the free time from work these days to secretly use her consciousness to move half of the gold mine in the mountains and put it into her supermarket space.
In fact, she had also thought about taking all the gold away. If she hadn't been afraid that these people would wake up and find that a lot of gold was missing, they would chase her and try their best to track down her whereabouts. She really wanted to take all the gold away.
