Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

In the Hu Mansion, the woman who had just returned to the courtyard called her personal maid.

"Come here." The little maid had confusion in her eyes, and she obediently came over. When the woman whispered in her ear, the little maid's eyes flashed, and then she bit her lower lip and nodded lightly.

After the little maid leaned over and exited the room, the woman looked at her back coldly as she left, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.

"It doesn't matter if I'm rescued, I'll just let you die once." The woman's cold voice was as cold and ruthless as a ghost in this dark night.

At this time, Grandpa Hu received accurate news. The man was indeed not dead and was rescued. How could this be possible? He did not want to hear any rumors in Shuguang City.

Then he ordered the servant to find someone to go to the inn to assassinate Xie Kui under the cover of night.

At this time, Ling Feng in the inn gave Xie Kui the soup prepared in the kitchen: "The medicine is ready."

Xie Kui sheepishly took the medicine bowl he handed over and smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, brother Lingfeng, today..."

Ling Feng waved his hand at him nonchalantly, indicating that he should drink the medicine first.

Xie Kui smiled and picked up the bowl and drank the whole bowl of soup. Ling Feng took the bowl and put it on the table behind him, blowing out the candles in the room.

"Go to rest early."

Ling Feng said to Xie Kui on the bed. He turned around and walked towards the soft couch, lying on it with his clothes on, and pulled the quilt to cover himself.

Xie Kui wanted to switch with Ling Feng and let him sleep on the bed, but when he saw Ling Feng's tired look, he stopped disturbing him.

At this moment, Lu Qingqing's master and servants had already gone to bed, thinking of getting on the road early tomorrow.

In the dead of night, Ling Feng, who had just fallen asleep, heard a slight sound coming from the door. He stood up quickly, walked to the bedside with gentle steps, and woke up Xie Kui.

The dazed Xie Kui was about to speak when Ling Feng reached out and covered his mouth. He looked at Ling Feng in surprise as Ling Feng made a silent gesture with him, and then signaled to him that there was someone outside the door.

Xie Kui stood up and followed Ling Feng to hide in the shadow behind the bed, keeping his eyes fixed on the door.

After a while, the door was pried open from the outside with a knife, and three masked men in black sneaked in, looking around the room and searching for Xie Kui's location.

One of them came to the soft couch first, picked up the quilt with the knife in his hand, and shook his head towards the two people behind him.

Xie Kui, who was behind the bed, looked at the three people in the room with a stiff expression. He didn't understand anything at this time. Presumably, that person still didn't want to let him go.

The anger in his heart was instantly ignited, and his angry hands began to tremble. Ling Feng, who was beside him, held his hands down and stared at the people approaching the bed.

I saw the big knives in the hands of those people slashing at the bed, "Brother, there is no one at all."

"Who said there was no one?" At this time, Ling Feng interrupted their conversation, jumped out of the bed, took out his dagger, and stabbed the three of them.

In the darkness, the three people couldn't figure out who was coming, so they could only quickly accept the challenge. Several people started fighting in the room, but those three people were no match for Ling Feng, and they were quickly stabbed and subdued by Ling Feng. .

At this time, the movement in the room also attracted Ziyao and Ziyue, along with the innkeeper and the waiter. The shopkeeper ran over with his coat and shoes on.

He wanted to see who was so bold and dared to act like a monster in Tongyu Inn.

"Boy, please find a rope and tie these people up to me. I will hand them over to the county government in person tomorrow morning, so that we can break ground on Tai Sui's head."

The shopkeeper came to Ling Feng's room and saw three men in black lying on the ground. Ling Feng helped Xie Kui limp out from behind the bed.

He instantly understood what was happening in the room and gave instructions to the waiter behind him in a deep voice.

"Hey, little one, let's go right now." After saying that, he ran downstairs.

Zi Yue looked at Ling Feng and found that he was not injured, so she felt relieved.

"What's going on with Ling Feng?" Ziyao asked him with a frown on her face.

Ling Feng was also confused at this time. He simply said that he didn't know who sent these three people. When they entered the room, they started hacking together and were finally subdued by him.

Ziyue saw that Xie Kui was hesitant to say something as if he wanted to say something, but because there were other people around, he didn't say it.

"Since these people are in the hands of the shopkeeper, let's go back and rest first. I hope the shopkeeper can give us a reasonable answer."

Ziyao had a cold face and glanced at the three people on the ground gloomily.

The shopkeeper's face didn't look very good at the moment. He smiled apologetically and promised Ziyao and the others that he would give them a satisfactory answer and asked Ling Feng and the others to move to the opposite room to rest.

Ling Feng supported Xie Kui and walked toward the opposite room. When he passed by Zi Yue and the others, he whispered to them not to worry.

"Then let's go back first." After Ziyue said that, the two of them went back to their rooms.

When Ziyue returned to the room, she found that her master had also been awakened by the movement just now.

"What's going on outside Ziyue?"

Lu Qingqing rubbed her brows and asked her vaguely.

Ziyue stepped forward and helped her master gather the quilt around him, and replied softly: "Master, everything is fine. A few thieves just entered Ling Feng's room."

"Is anyone injured?" After hearing Zi Yue's words, Lu Qingqing instantly understood what was going on.

Ziyue shook her head lightly and said that the people had been subdued by Ling Feng and had been handed over to the innkeeper Zhan, who would send them to the county government early tomorrow morning.

Then Ziyue comforted her master, saying that it was getting late and she had better rest early, otherwise the master would feel uncomfortable again tomorrow.

She felt relieved when she heard Ziyue's words, thinking that she might as well talk about it tomorrow. Ziyue helped her tuck in the quilt, and she followed her back to the soft couch.

Biyun, who had been sleeping with her master on the bed, didn't know whether she was tired during the day, but no movement this night woke her up.

Lu Qingqing knew that Biyun was nervous about her master all day long, and her spirit was always tense. Now she finally relaxed, and the fatigue all over her body also came out.

So she didn't wake up Biyun just before Ziyue came back.

The shopkeeper of the inn outside and his waiter tied up the three people and apologized one by one to the guests who had just been woken up.

After calming down the guests, he escorted the three of them towards the woodshed in the backyard, and told the waiter to keep an eye on the three of them.

"Shopkeeper, do you want to tell your boss about this?" The waiter glanced at the three people in the woodshed and asked.

The shopkeeper also pondered for a moment, and then nodded lightly: "I really need to tell my boss about this matter. Tomorrow you go to the Yamen to report to the official, and I, the shopkeeper, will go and talk to my boss."
