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

But for some reason, when he saw the woman's face, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her somewhere.

Just as he was about to continue exploring this vague memory, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, so painful that he could hardly stand. The man covered his head and groaned, as if something was about to burst out of his mind.

The next moment, severe pain came like a tide, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore. His body went limp and he fainted on the ground.

The guards soon noticed something was wrong in the carriage. Leng Yi rushed in first and saw his master was pale, eyes closed, obviously in pain. He was anxious and quickly supported his fainted master.

"The master has fainted. We must find a doctor immediately!" Leng Yi ordered urgently, looking up and shouting at Leng Er outside the car.

Leng Er responded and quickly drove the carriage towards the official road at the foot of the mountain.

At the same time, Zeng Zhengen on the mountain was still concentrating on looting the bandits' property, and had no idea that the carriage not far away had quietly left.

After Zeng Zhengen searched around, he came to the tall man.

"Tell me, where is your lair? How many people are there in it?"

Zeng Zhengen put the dagger against the tall man's neck and demanded.

The tall bandit glanced at Zeng Zhengen coldly, with a hint of contempt on his face, and snorted, "Don't even think about getting anything from me."

Zeng Zhengen smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness on the corner of his lips: "You are quite tough, but I want to see how long you can hold on."

Before she finished speaking, she took out a black pill from the space and quickly stuffed it into the man's mouth. The tall man was shocked and wanted to spit out the pill immediately. However, the pill melted in his mouth and he had swallowed it before he could react.

"What exactly did you give me to eat?" the tall man asked with a horrified look and a slightly trembling voice.

Zeng Zhengen smiled faintly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Something that can make you tell the truth obediently."

She ignored him and stood aside, with her arms folded across her chest, watching coldly, waiting for the drug to take effect.

In just a cup of tea, the man's forehead was covered with cold sweat and his body was shaking. At first, he gritted his teeth and endured it, but the pain quickly intensified, as if it was burning in a raging fire and he could not bear it anymore. In the end, he could no longer hold on and said in a staccato voice: "I said... I will tell you... As long as you... give me the antidote..."

His body rolled over and over on the ground in pain, and he had completely lost his initial composure.

Zeng Zhengen looked down at him with a cold smile on his face: "You are not qualified to bargain now. Tell me everything you know, otherwise, you will die in pain."

The man dared not to hold on any longer, and confessed everything he knew with a painful look on his face. After Zeng Zhengen heard it, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she nodded with satisfaction. She then began to search the man's body for silver, but only found twenty taels.

She frowned and muttered with disgust: "Why are you so poor?"

The man was so angry that he almost vomited blood after hearing this. These twenty taels of silver were his savings that he had saved with great difficulty. You know, ordinary villagers can only earn ten taels a year. These twenty taels of silver are enough for an ordinary family to harvest for two years! But in Zeng Zhengen's eyes, this seemed so insignificant.

"Can you give me the antidote now?" The man asked with difficulty, enduring the pain, his tone full of pleading.

Zeng Zhengen leaned over and looked at him coldly, his eyes full of mockery and ridicule, as if he was looking at a complete fool.

The man's heart suddenly sank, and he had a bad feeling. He ignored the severe pain in his body and struggled desperately to get up. However, Zeng Zhengen's dagger had already slashed across his throat as fast as lightning, leaving a fatal blood line. The man struggled a few times, and then he was completely motionless.

Zeng Zhengen calmly put away the dagger and sneered: "Don't thank me. After all, you two did evil together, so of course you should go to heaven together. I am just doing good deeds."

After she finished speaking, she straightened her clothes, then jumped lightly and used her lightness skills to quickly rush towards the direction of the village the man mentioned.

The mountain stronghold was not far away, and Zeng Zhengen reached the destination in a few minutes with her lightness skills. Since these bandits had just started, the mountain stronghold was not large. She easily knocked out all the bandits one by one with drugs, and then killed them with the same method.

Zeng Zhengen quickly found the storehouse of the mountain stronghold. Although the mountain stronghold had just been built, the storehouse was filled with a lot of valuable supplies. There were several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and several sacks of rice, fine flour and other game. Zeng Zhengen unceremoniously put these supplies into his own space one by one, and walked around every room, looting some additional property.

After completing these, Zeng Zhengen left the village with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Zeng Si returned to the cave with his family. After settling his family, he was still concerned about Zeng Zhengen and decided to go back to help fight the bandits. His parents were also worried about Zeng Zhengen and finally agreed to his request, but they repeatedly told him to leave.

Before leaving, Zeng Siyuan walked up to Yang Lizheng and said seriously, "Uncle Pan, I'll trouble you and other uncles and aunts to take care of my parents and the children. I'm going back to help my son Zeng deal with the bandits."

Pan Yang saw that Zeng Siyuan was determined. Although he was still worried, he knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be useless. There were many bandits, and Zeng Siyuan was alone. The danger was imaginable. If Zeng Siyuan set out at this time, he would undoubtedly die, but Pan Yang saw the determination in his eyes and finally chose not to dissuade him.

"Well, you must be careful," Pan Yang sighed and said, "Your parents and children are waiting for you to come back, you must take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, Uncle Pan, my brother and I will be back as soon as possible." Zeng Zhengen responded firmly.

Wang Huan was filled with reluctance at the moment. Although she was also worried, she knew that it was pointless to dissuade her husband and could only watch him leave silently. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that they would return safely.

Not far away, the Zhang family was filled with joy when they saw Zeng Siyuan leave. Only the elderly, weak, women and children were left at Zeng's side. They could finally get their three children back as they wished, and also seize Zeng's food. Thinking of this, the Zhang brothers smiled even more.

As for their mother, Mrs. Zhang, she had already been forgotten by them at this time.

"Brother, let's go to Zeng's house and get those three kids back!" Zhang Laosan rubbed his hands excitedly and said impatiently. In his opinion, Zeng Siyuan was doomed to die, and the Zeng family was no longer a threat without Zeng Siyuan.

Zhang Laoer licked his lips and nodded grimly, "Let's go and bring the person back immediately."

Zhang Yan also heard what her two brothers said. She immediately came over and said angrily: "Second brother, third brother, I want to go too." She still remembered that Zeng Zhengen had slapped her before. Now that Zeng Zhengen was dead, she must find an opportunity to beat that bitch's son black and blue.
