Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

"I admit that Mrs. Zhang and her family did a lot of bad things in the past, but now they have admitted their mistakes. Think about it, we are from the same village after all. We have been fleeing famine for so long. If we drive them out of the team, they will probably be desperate." As soon as Yang Xuyu finished speaking, he scanned the crowd, "We have lived together for so many years, can we really watch them die?"

After hearing his question, the villagers, who were originally a little angry, lowered their heads and fell silent. Zhang Pozi's family was indeed hateful, but if they were really put in a desperate situation, the villagers were also somewhat shaken.

Seeing this, Yang Xuyu felt relieved, knowing that his words were starting to work. He took the opportunity to continue persuading them, his tone gradually becoming softer, but with an invisible force that gradually made everyone change their minds. In the end, no one insisted on kicking Zhang Pozi and her family out of the team.

"Besides, although the people of Dapo Village didn't invite us to join their team, they didn't explicitly refuse us to follow them. What I mean is that from now on, our team will just quietly follow them, and there won't be any problems."

When the villagers heard the plan, they finally felt more at ease and nodded without any objections. Zeng Zhengen had to sigh that Yang Xuyu's brainwashing ability was really strong.

"If this is put into the future, it will be a complete pyramid scheme." Zeng Zhengen secretly complained in his heart, watching Yang Xuyu encouraging the villagers outside and continuing to trick everyone into following his team. Although there was nothing to see, she was too lazy to pay attention, so she called a few children and went straight into the cave.

As for Yang Xuyu's idea of ​​following their team, Zeng Zhengen had no objection. After all, it would have no impact on them and they would not lose anything.

After entering the cave, Zeng Zhengen began to prepare lunch. At the same time, the villagers of Zhangguanbao also found a flat area outside the cave and set up pots and pans to prepare for cooking.

After lunch, Zeng Zhengen decided to check around again. She walked around carefully and confirmed that the gang of bandits she had encountered before did not appear again. Only then did she feel relieved and went straight to find Pan Yang.

"Uncle Pan, how about we go down the mountain this afternoon? Let's send a few people into the city tomorrow morning and buy some food." Zeng Zhengen suggested, thinking about her own plans. Although she had enough food in her space, she had to find a reason to "display" it.

Pan Yang had long seen that Zeng Zhengen was not an ordinary person. After seeing her skills, he trusted her words very much. After hearing her proposal, he immediately nodded, "Okay, let's do as you say."

Without saying a word, Pan Yang immediately went to notify the villagers and asked them to get ready to pack up.

Everyone started packing up, and soon Zeng's mother had packed everything neatly. Seeing that everyone in Dapo Village was busy packing up, the villagers of Zhangguanbao followed suit.

Not long after, Pan Yang led the villagers of Dapo Village down the mountain. Seeing this, the people of Zhangguanbao hurriedly followed. The team marched down the mountain in a mighty manner, with Pan Yang walking in the front, followed by Zeng Zhengen and her family.

When the team passed the road where they had almost encountered bandits, the messy horse hoof prints on the ground instantly attracted the attention of the villagers. Seeing those traces, everyone's face turned pale and they whispered to each other in fear.

"Fortunately, we listened to Zeng girl's advice and hid in the mountains. Otherwise, we would have run into the bandits long ago and we don't know what would have happened to us." The villagers were grateful to Zeng Zhengen in their hearts and felt the tension of their lives hanging by a thread gradually dissipate.

The villagers of Zhangguanbao did not understand why. They just noticed that the people of Dahe Village looked at Zeng Zhengen with admiration, and they couldn't help feeling suspicious and complicated.

The team moved forward slowly, and seeing that the road was calm, everyone gradually relaxed. However, just when they thought they could reach the foot of the mountain safely, they suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves in the distance.

Everyone's faces changed, and the tension spread again. Zeng Zhengen frowned slightly, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.

Zeng Zhengen didn't expect that these bandits had been lying in ambush here, waiting for them to fall into their trap. If these people came from somewhere else, with her keen hearing, it would be impossible for them not to notice anything.

Not long after, the bandits showed up and blocked Zeng Zhengen and his group. The leader was the bearded man from that day, who was looking at them with a wicked smile on his face.

"I told you, just wait here, they will definitely show up." The tall man next to the bearded man said with a smug smile.

The bearded man looked at him with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Okay, big brother will remember your achievement. You will get your reward when you return."

The tall man was so happy when he heard this that he couldn't stop smiling. "Thank you for the reward, big brother!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and deal with the matter at hand first." The bearded man waved his hand, then glanced coldly at Zeng Zhengen and his group, and said condescendingly: "Hand over all the valuables on you, and don't force me to do it."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers huddled together in fear and trembled. When the villagers of Zhangguanbao saw the bandits, they all showed despair in their eyes. They didn't expect that they had finally escaped from the bandits, but were stopped by them again so quickly.

The people of Zhangguanbao were filled with regret at the moment. If they had known this would happen, they should not have followed the people of Dapo Village. Now they were in such bad luck. Especially Mrs. Zhang, although she was frightened by the threat of the bandits, she vented all her resentment on Zeng Zhengen.

"It's all that unlucky star's fault! If I hadn't followed her, how could I have ended up being intercepted by bandits again?" Mrs. Zhang cursed inwardly, and the more she thought about it, the more she was unwilling to accept it. She suddenly shouted loudly: "Zeng Zhengen! You unlucky star, quickly hand over your silver and grain! All our grain and silver are on you!"

Her voice was sharp and full of resentment, as if Zeng Zhengen was the culprit. In her mind, the Zeng family was well-fed and well-dressed, and must have brought a lot of silver and food. As long as Zeng Zhengen handed over these things, perhaps the bandits would let them go.

Zhang Pozi's wishful thinking fell into everyone's ears, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. When Zeng Zhengen heard her words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and anger surged in his chest. Zhang Pozi was really vicious, and she even wanted to use her to escape danger.

Zeng's mother obviously understood Mrs. Zhang's evil intentions. She was so angry that she turned around and cursed loudly, "You old hag! What nonsense are you talking about? When did you, the Zhang family, give my daughter the money and food? You are lying with your eyes open!"

Mrs. Zhang continued to shout: "I told you, it's on her, it's on her!"

The bearded man was already impatient and interrupted the quarrel between the two old ladies: "Shut up! No matter who it is, you must hand over the silver and grain."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang became even more anxious. She immediately rushed to Zeng Zhengen and said to the bearded man, "My dear brother, all our food and silver are with her. You see, everything on this wheelbarrow belongs to us. Please take it away quickly and let us go!"

After saying that, she reached out to try to move Zeng Zhengen's belongings. Zeng Zhengen quickly grabbed her wrist and exerted force. Mrs. Zhang immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream: "Oh, my hand is broken, it hurts so much!

Zeng Zhengen did not say anything else, but just grabbed a large piece of dirt from the ground and stuffed it into Mrs. Zhang's mouth. Mrs. Zhang's voice suddenly stopped, and the surroundings immediately returned to silence.

The bearded man obviously didn't expect Zeng Zhengen to do such a thing.
