After all, that is all pure wealth, enough for people to live a happy life.
However, even if she only took away half of the gold, it would still be an astronomical fortune, enough for her and the people around her to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the mountains of gold in the space. In the supermarket space, they were lying quietly, shining with attractive light, as if waiting for her to start a new and beautiful life.
When she thought of this, the smile on Yao Qingshuang's face became even brighter.
Then she got on the ox cart and galloped away with everyone, disappearing into the vast night.
Under the cover of the dark night, they hurried along the rugged road as if driven by fate.
It was pitch black all around, with one not being able to see one's hand in front of one's face. Only the sounds of hurried or heavy footsteps and the occasional heavy breathing of livestock broke the endless silence.
From dusk to dawn, the long night of running around has made everyone's body exhausted to the extreme.
My legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every step required all my strength; my eyes were bloodshot due to extreme sleepiness, and so sore that I could hardly open them.
But even so, the string of vigilance in their hearts was always tense, and they dared not slack off at all.
At noon the next day, the scorching sun mercilessly scorched the earth, making the already exhausted people feel even more unbearable.
Everyone really couldn't hold on any longer, so they decided to rest for half an hour.
They found a relatively secluded forest, unloaded their bags, leaned against tree trunks, or sat on the ground, then took out the dry food and water that had been prepared in their bags and ate them voraciously to quickly replenish their strength.
The livestock nearby were finally able to catch their breath. They lowered their heads and slowly ate the dry grass on the ground, slowly regaining some energy.
When they saw the horses brought out from the villa, they checked them and only felt relieved and rested after finding that there were no marks.
However, this short half hour seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.
Although everyone had not yet fully recovered from their fatigue, they were worried that pursuers might catch up with them at any time. Once they were caught, all the hardships and efforts they had experienced before would be in vain.
Therefore, they did not dare to stay any longer, and they got up again, packed their bags, drove their livestock, and set out again on this journey full of unknowns and hardships.
As night fell, the sky gradually darkened.
At this time, they looked back and were surprised to find that in this day and night, they had actually walked a distance that would normally take almost three days.
This discovery made everyone's tense nerves relax a little.
Everyone looked at each other and saw a hint of relief and relief in each other's eyes.
Since we have already opened up such a great distance, I guess the pursuers will not be able to catch up for a while.
So they decided to have a good rest here tonight, recharge their batteries, and continue their journey tomorrow.
On the other side, the mountain villa located in Ping'an County was shrouded in a strange silence.
The leader who was in charge of sending people to the villa tonight instinctively sensed an unusual aura as soon as he stepped into the gate of the villa.
In the past, at this time of day, there would be sounds of people walking around or talking in the villa, but now it was completely silent, as if it were an empty house. This dead silence made his heart sink suddenly, and an ominous premonition instantly surged into his mind.
He didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, and immediately ordered his men with a serious expression: "Go, investigate carefully and see what's going on!"
After receiving the order, the men immediately dispersed and carefully searched every corner.
After a long while, the people who went to investigate came back one after another, each with an expression of shock and confusion on their face.
Seeing this, the leader hurriedly asked, "How is it? What did you find?"
One of them stepped forward and reported, "Boss, this... this is bizarre! We've searched the entire villa and found that everyone in it is unconscious, lying all over the place. No matter how hard we try, they won't wake up! And... and all the food and gold in the villa are gone!"
When the leader heard this, his eyes widened and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
He knew that this matter was of great importance, so he didn't dare to delay any longer. He quickly ordered one of his men, "You, hurry back here at full speed and report the situation to Steward Li in detail. Don't delay! Go!"
The subordinate responded and hurriedly ran out of the villa, leaving the leader behind, pacing back and forth anxiously, waiting for further instructions.
Inside the Ping'an County government office, the atmosphere was as depressing as the gloomy sky before a storm.
He Feiyan was sitting upright on a chair in the back hall of the county government office. She was wearing a gorgeous brocade dress, and the pearls and jade on her head made crisp sounds as she swayed slightly, but her face was full of sinisterness at this moment.
She stood up suddenly, raised her arms high, and her well-maintained hands drew an arc in the air. Then, with a crisp "crash" sound, the teacup on the table was thrown heavily to the ground by her.
The teacup shattered into pieces in an instant, and the boiling hot tea splashed everywhere. It seemed that at that moment, the temperature of the entire room dropped sharply because of her rage.
"You're such a waste!" He Feiyan roared, gritting her teeth. Her eyes were wide open, filled with blazing rage as she stared at Butler Li intently, as if she wanted to devour him alive. "How could you be tricked by a bunch of refugees? Are you guys just being kept here for nothing? With so many eyes watching and so many people watching, you still managed to make such a huge mistake? You're such a disgrace to me!"
He Feiyan paced back and forth in the room in rage, the hem of her clothes fluttering like waves with her rapid steps.
After a moment, she suddenly stopped and looked at Butler Li coldly again. Her gaze was like an ice knife in the cold winter, piercing Butler Li directly. Her voice was low but revealed unquestionable majesty: "Send someone to capture them immediately! No matter what means, even if you have to turn Ping'an County upside down, you must find these daring refugees and bring them back to me!"
Upon hearing this, Butler Li trembled with fear and quickly responded, "Yes, yes, I'll do it right away. I will definitely live up to the expectations of the young lady!"
After saying that, he prepared to leave the room.
