After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 38 Thieves Come at Midnight

As night fell, the village chief led everyone to stop at an open space in front of the woods, where they would spend the night.

The men took the children to the woods to collect firewood, while the women and the elderly took out the food to be cooked in the evening.

The weather was too cold, so they planned to cook some hot porridge to warm their stomachs and save the dry food for eating during the day.

Lin Shuyue took out a small bag of coarse grains and got out of the car.

Lin An took his two sons to collect firewood and check the surrounding situation.

After the firewood collectors came back, everyone started to cook porridge. The boiling hot porridge dispelled the winter chill.

Lin An's family were sipping hot porridge cooked with spiritual spring water.

Suddenly, Lin Shuyue frowned slightly, and she noticed a malicious gaze looking at her from behind.

Lin Shuyue pretended to drink her porridge calmly.

Suddenly, she turned back and looked in the direction of that sight.

He met Lin Shuqian's eyes filled with resentment.

Lin Shuqian didn't expect Lin Shuyue to find out. She was shocked and took a step back unconsciously.

The wooden barrel on the ground was overturned, and the little water they had left poured onto the ground.

Lin Shugui's angry curses echoed over the open space.

Seeing this, Lin Shuyue calmly turned back and continued to drink her porridge.

She didn't want to figure out why Lin Shuqian harbored ill will towards her, she just silently kept Lin Shuqian's abnormality in her heart.

After dinner, everyone found a place to rest and started a fire.

Li took out an oilcloth and spread it on the ground, and then took out a blanket to cushion it.

This is where Lin An, Lin Shuyuan and Lin Shuyan sleep at night, while the mother and daughter sleep in the carriage.

Although the village chief had arranged for someone to keep watch, Lin An's family was still worried.

After discussion, it was decided that Lin Shuyuan and Li would guard the first half of the night, and Lin Shuyan and Lin Shuyue would guard the second half.

Lin An asked him to rest early because he had to catch a bus during the day.

Lin An had no objection to this, he believed in the children's abilities.

The cold wind was getting stronger at night. Even though there was a fire burning, the people wrapped in quilts were still shivering.

The night watchman added some firewood to the fire from time to time.

As soon as midnight arrived, Lin Shuyue, who was sleeping in the carriage, was awakened by the sound of shift change.

Li and Lin Shuyuan outside the carriage asked her to continue sleeping.

Lin Shuyue shook her head, motioned for Li to come into the carriage and sleep, and asked her eldest brother to go back to sleep.

She put on her clothes and sat on the frame outside the carriage. She called her second brother Lin Shuyan up and handed him a piece of beef jerky.

Everyone in their family has inner strength, so the cold wind at night did not affect them.

While no one was paying attention, Lin Shuyue released Xuebao from the space to get some fresh air.

She held Xue Bao and Lin Shuyan in her arms, chewing beef jerky out of boredom.

Olaf was also holding a piece of beef jerky and chewing it with his little fangs.

The night watch time was always very long. Lin Shuyue leaned lazily against the carriage, touching Olaf's paw from time to time with her hand.

Suddenly, she paused and looked at Lin Shuyan. Someone was quietly approaching this place.

Lin Shuyue put Xuebao into Lin Shuyan's arms and signaled Lin Shuyan to guard the place.

I tiptoed lightly and disappeared silently into the night.

"Brother, I see they still have a lot of food. After we finish this job, we can get another reward.

"I also saw a mule cart. The man driving the mule cart looked a bit tough."

"It's okay. Can't the five of us beat him alone?"

In the woods near the resting place of Yunhua Village,

The five men were whispering to each other, the big swords in their hands were shining coldly.

Li Liang looked at the people from Yunhua Village who were sleeping soundly in the open space, and said harshly: "Deal with the people on guard first. It would be best if we don't alarm them. It would be troublesome if they get into trouble."

They were about to stand up when suddenly, a leisurely voice came to their ears: "Who are you going to deal with?"

Li Liang and the other four were so frightened that they jumped up on the spot, holding their knives, and looked around in fear, but they saw no one.

"Brother...brother...is there a ghost..." a man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks asked Li Liang in a trembling voice.

Li Liang calmed himself down and whispered, "Who's playing tricks there? Come out now!"

"Tsk, what a bunch of cowards." A crisp voice sounded from above.

A few people looked up and saw a little girl standing on the tree next to them.

Li Liang and his men calmed down, pointed their knives at the tree, and said jokingly: "You are a very courageous girl, come down quickly, or I will chop you down."

They had no idea why a little girl was here so late at night.

Lin Shuyue sneered, flew down, and after standing still, she drew her sword from its sheath. With a flash of light, a streak of sword energy swept past.

"Plop" "Plop"....

Four voices rang out in succession, and Li Liang fell to the ground, watching in horror as his four younger brothers fell to the ground one after another.

The four men's faces still had smiles on them that they hadn't had time to put away, and there was a long bloodstain on their necks.

Lin Shuyue casually made a sword flower, put the Liuguang Sword back into the scabbard, and walked towards Li Liang step by step.

When Li Liang saw her walking towards him, he was so scared that he crawled back with his hands and feet together, and the fear in his eyes was as if he had seen a ghost.

Lin Shuyue squatted in front of Li Liang, with the sword in her hand on his neck.

He asked sternly, "Who are you? Why are you here to steal things?

Who is the person behind you? Tell me now, or you will end up like the four people on the ground."

Li Liang was so scared that he burst into tears. Even though he still had little brothers under him,

In fact, he was very afraid of death, so he didn't have the courage to hide it.

He hurriedly told Lin Shuyue where he came from and the person behind him.

Li Liang told Lin Shuyue that he was from Datian Village, Yufeng County.

After the refugee riots in Yufeng County, he fled with his wife and parents.

Unexpectedly, not long after walking, they encountered a group of refugees holding knives.

Instead of killing him, the refugees took his family to a mountain village.

The stronghold was heavily guarded, and he saw many captured men who were as strong as him being locked in a large cage.

He and his family were also imprisoned. The next day, a young man with a pale face and a scholar-like appearance came to the cage.

They used food, gold, silver and jewelry to lure the people in the cages to join their team.

A small number of people were tempted when they heard that they would have food, drink and money if they stayed here, and expressed their willingness to stay. Li Liang was one of them.

The remaining people who did not nod knelt down and begged the man to let them go.

The man didn't say anything, but waved his hand, and a big man with a beard walked up to him.

He raised the knife expressionlessly and chopped at the people standing in the front of the cage.

Everyone looked at the bloody head on the ground in horror, and nodded in agreement trembling with fear.

After being locked up for a few more days, they were finally released from the cage.

There was also a special cook in the mountain village who was responsible for the meals, and the families of the captured men were also assigned to do some chores.

The men were trained for several days by a tall and burly man.

The main purpose was to teach them how to kill people. Only then did Li Liang know that the mountain where the stronghold was located was called Yuhu Mountain.
