A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

If there is a problem with the county magistrate's food, no matter who is responsible, he will definitely not let them off easily.

Cheng Lu quickly got off the couch, pushed the soldier out, and asked him to call for help.

Wen Meijiu was crying and her voice became a little hoarse. Finally, she heard the sound of assembly drums outside.

When calling on the generals, after three drum beats, those who fail to show up will be beheaded.

The guards had no time to take care of the warm wine as they came out from all over and swarmed towards the first yard outside.

Everyone had left. Wen Meijiu looked around to see that there was no one around, so he quietly went to the small corner door at the back and opened all the bolts on the top and bottom.

Dou Dashu, who was waiting outside with his men, saw that it was Wen Meijiu who came out. The two exchanged glances, and he turned around and said to the dark crowd standing behind him:

“Fellow villagers, this is your last chance to survive. Whether you can succeed or not depends entirely on your speed.

Let’s go and grab some food.”

As soon as he gave the order, the real victims behind him rushed into the corner gate like a flood crossing the street. Wen Meijiu was so frightened that he held his breath and pressed his whole body against the wall to avoid the risk of being trampled on the ground.

After waiting for a long time and everyone went in, Wen Meijiu finally put down his limp arm.

Dou Dashu smiled innocently at Wen Meijiu, gave her a thumbs up and said:

"Sister, you are really brave. You have done a great thing for so many disaster victims."

Although Wen Meijiu doesn't like to brag about herself, she still feels very happy when others praise her like this.

Seeing that Wen Meijiu was in a good mood, Dou Dashu also praised himself:

"I've done a good job. I found a way to survive for these hundreds of disaster victims. I've also done good deeds for my ancestors. I hope that the King of Hell will still remember this a hundred years from now and won't let me go into the oil pan."

Dou Dashu and his brothers pretended to be disaster victims. There were no more than forty or fifty of them at most. Such a small number of people were almost the same as the defenders in the house. If they really encountered the enemy, they would not have any advantage.

It’s different with so many disaster victims who are willing to sacrifice their lives. They are hungry and need food.

If they were given the choice of starving to death on the streets or being beaten to death for stealing food here, they would definitely choose to steal food without hesitation, because at least they still have a glimmer of hope.

So when they heard that there was food to be taken, and that it was food that the dog county magistrate had embezzled, they responded immediately, and Dou Dashu brought the people here without any effort at all.

Hundreds of disaster victims, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, rushed into the backyard and surrounded the yard tightly. Some people in the front were breaking the locks, and people behind were shouting in unison: "Come on!"

Wen Meijiu stood at the outermost edge and shouted at them:

"Don't stand here, there are still some in the yard outside, everyone go outside, otherwise you won't be able to grab them."

After saying this, she led the way, and the victims who heard her followed her. When they reached the fifth yard, they began to pick locks and smash windows.

Just as Wen Meijiu guessed, all the food here was stolen by the county magistrate under various excuses.

When the victims saw the food, their eyes lit up. Some cried while holding the food, some quickly stuffed the food into their mouths, and some put the food into their arms to feed their children.

"Everyone hurry up and act, the officers and soldiers who stay behind will come back if you delay any longer."

After Wen Meijiu reminded everyone, she hurried to the yard in front. The food in these two yards was enough for the victims to grab, so she had to hurry to the yard in front to collect the food.

Seeing that no one was following her, Wen Meijiu pulled out her pistol and fired a few shots at the door lock. The door lock fell to the ground, and a mountain of food inside appeared before her eyes.

With a wave of his hand, Wen Meijiu collected all the food into the space.

She collected the fourth courtyard, then the third, the second, and the first. All the food stored in the remaining courtyards fell into her space.

After collecting the grain, Wen Meijiu took out a tinder from his arms, raised his hand, and threw it on the cattails that were used as padding for grain in the corner.

Soon, the fourth courtyard caught fire, forming a cordon that separated the three courtyards in front from the two courtyards in the back. She walked out of the front door calmly.

Dou Dashu led a group of real disaster victims into the county magistrate's private residence through the back door. Dou Dashu's younger brother Dou Xiaoshu led his former bandit brothers to pretend to rob Zhang Can's grain transport convoy and tied up Zhang Can and others.

When Cheng Lu arrived with a group of people, he saw this scene and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that the number of disaster victims was surprisingly equal to his own, and they were all young and middle-aged, he did not dare to attack rashly, but stood opposite them and shouted.

He first tried to calm them down, saying that they were all workers for the county magistrate and were children from poor families, and begged them not to rob them of their food and to leave them a way to live.

Not to mention that these "disaster victims" know the inside story, even those who don't know the inside story would find it difficult to be convinced by his words.

However, the purpose of the "victims" was not to knock Cheng Lu down, but to hold him back and wait for the people inside to take action.

Dou Xiaoshu had the "hostages" and food in hand, so he was not panicked at all. He slowly argued with Cheng Lu for a long time.

Finally seeing the warm wine coming out, Dou Xiaoshu stopped pretending and pointed at the flames rising high behind Cheng Lu and said:

"Is that a fire?"

At first Cheng Lu didn't believe what Dou Xiaoshu said and thought he was trying to change the subject. But when he turned around, he was stunned.

After he reacted, he ran back, shouting:

"It's on fire, put out the fire quickly."

The yard was full of grain. If the house was burned down, the county magistrate might spare his life. But if the grain was burned, his head would probably be taken away.

As he ran, the brothers who followed him also ran back. Dou Xiaoshu laughed loudly behind him and said sarcastically:

"Brother, run slower. What if you fall?

Haven't I talked to you enough?"

Suddenly, Dou Xiaoshu was slapped on the back of his head.

"Just go, wait to be caught, and you're still in the mood to joke with others, you have a really big heart."

The one who hit him was Zhang Can, whom he had tied up just now. It was because he had stinked when he tied people up that he had to make Zhang Can smell his stinky feet. This slap was definitely meant as revenge.

"Hmph, big brother, you are not nice. I was just joking with you and you hit me. I'm going to tell my brother."

Although Dou Xiaoshu looks big and strong, he is actually only sixteen years old. He still has the mentality of a child and is a bit playful.

"Hey, brat, you're still excited."

Seeing that his neck was stiff, Zhang Can reached out and slapped him twice on the back of the head.

Wen Meijiu just came over and stopped Zhang Can, saying:

"Brother, we have got the stuff, let's go quickly."

She put the badge in her hand into Zhang Can's hand. Dou Xiaoshu also came over curiously to take a look and asked curiously:

"What is this, brother?"

Dou Xiaoshu performed well in front of Cheng Lu, which greatly improved his self-confidence. He felt that he had shown his face in front of his brothers and could stand on his own in the future.

However, in Zhang Can's eyes, he was still a child, and such confidential matters must not be told to him.

"Go play, this is not something you can ask."

Zhang Can said this to him casually, then waved his hand and asked everyone to turn the car around and go back.

In the dim light, only Dou Xiaoshu stood still. After a while, he walked towards the side door of the house.

He knew that Dou Dashu had gone in through the back door and had not come out at this time.
