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

When Mrs. Wang rushed towards her, Chu Haochen blocked her so that she failed. She saw Mrs. Wang panting heavily and looking at Chu Haochen with gloomy eyes.

Ruiniang was so frightened that she quickly retracted her words. She didn't expect that she would be like this...

Village Chief Wu in the crowd had a terrifyingly dark face at this time, and he kept cursing Mrs. Wang for being stupid.

At this moment, Village Chief Wu's mother-in-law ran in and left, shouting: "The boss is in trouble, our son was kicked by a horse, ouch..."

As he spoke, the man sat down on the ground, patted his legs and started crying.

"What are you howling for? Why don't you get up and show me." He yelled at the woman on the ground with a dark face.

Lu Qingqing looked at Chu Haochen beside her. Could it be their horse?

Chu Haochen said softly, go take a look and you will know.

Lu Qingqing glanced at Ruiniang next to her, and saw her carefully pulling her sleeves with prayer in her eyes.

Lu Qingqing smiled at her and said softly that he could accompany her to see their horses by the river near the village.

Ruiniang nodded worriedly when she heard this, fearing that the young lady's horse would kick the village chief's silly son. In that case...

After saying this, the group of people walked towards the direction of the river. At this moment, Lu Jiang's carriage was approaching the small village.

"This means we are going to find a village to stay overnight. I wonder if there are so many people and it is not convenient to find a suitable place."

Lu Jiang took a look at the sky outside and said. Mrs. Liu beside her was still worried that Qingqing and the others had not returned yet after riding out.

When Lu Qingqing came to the river, she saw the village chief commanding a few men next to him to catch their horses.

He kept saying that their horse had injured his son and was going to be taken away and killed. There was a bit of greed in his eyes as he spoke.

"Stop, Jueying, come here." Lu Qingqing shouted to his horse. After hearing this, Jueying snorted and raised his front legs to scare everyone until they all retreated, then he took Chu Haochen's horse behind him. We walked together to Lu Qingqing.

"Yu...Yu..."

Jueying called the two of them and stood obediently in front of Lu Qingqing. She reached out and stroked the black mane on its neck, looking at Village Chief Wu with cold eyes.

"Who gave you the courage to catch my horse?"

Village Chief Wu yelled at her angrily that it was her horse that kicked her son, who was still lying at home, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Chu Haochen glared at him with cold eyes and said in a cold voice that his horse was a war horse, and it would not hurt anyone without anyone threatening it.

"Then I have to ask why your son frightened our horses, why he wanted to get close to them, and what was his intention?"

Village Chief Wu was stunned for a moment when he was asked by Chu Haochen. When he heard about the war horse, his eyes shrank obviously, and he looked at the two of them suspiciously, guessing the truth of his words.

"This... no matter what, your horse is fine. It's my son who's in trouble. You can't default on it even if you want to."

Ruiniang, who was following Lu Qingqing, looked at the two of them with a worried look on her face. Lu Qingqing smiled at her and told her that she was fine and didn't need to worry.

Chu Haochen looked at the village chief, his face darkened, with a mocking smile in his eyes, and asked him with a sneer, did he know what the consequences of hurting a war horse would be according to the law?

Village Chief Wu was the only literate person in the village, so of course he knew it. His body froze, his eyes suddenly shrank, his mouth opened but he didn't dare to say anything, he just looked at Chu Haochen with a more sinister look.

After listening to Chu Haochen's words, several young men around him looked at the village chief's face and knew that what this man said must be true. They all retreated towards the back.

"You... don't try to scare people anymore, the injuries on my son's body are real."

While Village Chief Wu was still shouting with all his teeth and claws, a little boy ran from a distance and shouted: "Dad, grandpa asked you to go back quickly."

Everyone was attracted by the little boy's shout and looked over. They saw the young man behind Village Chief Wu looking at everyone awkwardly, and then he protected his face and let the little boy go back first.

"Dad, grandpa and I saw clearly just now that it was the brother of Wu Sanbo's family who threw stones at the horse. The horse was upset because it was hit, but it did not hurt the brother. The brother was hit by the roots of the tree under his feet. He fainted after tripping and falling on a rock.”

After hearing what the little boy said, everyone understood and looked at Village Chief Wu with dissatisfaction. The little boy's father covered the child's mouth and awkwardly said hello and ran away with the child in his arms.

Lu Qingqing and Chu Haochen's eyes suddenly turned cold when they looked at Village Chief Wu.

Village Chief Wu had a very ugly face. He shouted coldly to everyone behind him to go back, then turned to leave.

"Why do you want to leave now?"

Lu Qingqing looked mockingly at Village Chief Wu, who was about to leave. He stopped at his feet, turned his head with a dark expression, and asked Lu Qingqing what else he wanted.

"Didn't I just say that if an innocent person hurts a war horse, he will be whipped fifty times according to the law, and anyone who dies if the horse dies will be beheaded."

Chu Haochen's words were so cold that a thin layer of sweat broke out on Village Chief Wu's forehead.

At this time, the onlookers were also frightened by the seriousness of this matter. When Village Chief Wu couldn't see how to solve it, he saw Ruiniang standing next to Lu Qingqing.

He winked at Mrs. Wang in the crowd. After the latter made eye contact, he heard Mrs. Wang immediately turning her head and yelling at Ruiniang.

"You bitch, why don't you come back with me?"

After saying that, he stepped forward to take Ruiniang's hand, which frightened Ruiniang and quickly hid behind Lu Qingqing.

She knew that if she went back today, she would be able to force herself to marry the fool from the village chief's family tomorrow.

Chu Haochen looked at Village Chief Wu's despicable little move. At this time, Lu Anping and Cheng Yu also rushed to the village. Seeing the horses of Lu Qingqing and Lu Qingqing by the river, they knew they were here, but the crowd surrounding them made them aware of their presence. They instantly sense something is wrong.

The two men immediately rode forward and came to the front of the crowd.

The people around them turned their heads when they heard the sound of horse hooves, and saw two people running towards the village looking at everyone with gloomy expressions.

"What happened to Qingqing?"

Lu Anping got off his horse and came to ask in front of his sister. He kept looking at the two of them and felt relieved when he found that nothing happened.

"Brother, are you here? This person is going to be harmful to the war horse."

The way Lu Qingqing complained made Chu Haochen beside him feel a little funny, and he looked at the brother and sister while trying not to laugh.

Village Chief Wu was so frightened that the sweat on his face dripped down his forehead, and he asked a few people in a trembling voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, don't think this will scare me."

Lu Anping smiled coldly and said with cold eyes, "The person standing in front of you is Princess Anhe of Qingyun Kingdom."

When everyone heard this, they immediately knelt down in fright and shouted in unison to kowtow to Princess Anhe.

Even Mrs. Wang, who had been shouting just now, was so frightened that she knelt down and kept turning her eyes.
