After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

"How can that be the same thing?"

The small system was obviously dissatisfied after hearing Yuxiu's questioning.

"Let the host do all the chivalrous things, that is to do good deeds under the conditions that one is capable and safe. For example, the people in Lijiazhuang have no ability to protect themselves. What is the difference between this and a little kid walking in a busy city with a gold ingot in his arms?"

"Okay, okay, what you said makes a lot of sense. Let me have a meal and rest for a while, then we can go, okay?"

Yuxiu was speechless and had to raise her hands in surrender. Anyway, she was already dazzled by the good things given by the small system, and she had to fight hard to get those rewards.

Cui moved quickly, cooking a pot of rice, spicy and sour potato shreds, and cold cucumber salad, and also prepared a pot of seaweed egg drop soup.

Yuxiu helped to bring the dishes and chopsticks, and the two of them sat around the small dining table and started eating.

"Mom, there's a place to take a shower in the backyard. I'll teach you how to use it later. Take a shower and then go to sleep for a while. I need to go out for a while."

Yuxiu discussed the matter with Cui while eating. Cui nodded without asking any more questions. She understood that her daughter's master must have arranged some task for her. Since she couldn't help anyway, she just told her to be careful.

After arranging everything for Cui, Yuxiu left the space alone and walked in the dark towards the Lijiazhuang mentioned by the small system.

In the darkness, there were still many lights on in Lijiazhuang, and occasional voices could be heard. If it weren't for the famine year and the reminder from the small system, Yuxiu would have almost thought that this was an ordinary mountain village.

When she came out just now, she deliberately changed into that ragged clothes and messed up her hair, thinking that if she was seen by someone, she should be able to fool people for a while.

After sneaking into the village, Yuxiu discovered that not every house in the village was inhabited. Only the largest courtyards of the houses in the middle of the village were inhabited.

"I'm so tired of standing guard every night. No one has entered the village recently. Why should I keep guarding anymore..."

"Stop complaining. The victims are starving to death. If we don't keep watch, it will be troublesome if someone takes over their home."

"Yes, yes. If we leave here, where else can we go? At least in this village we have food and drink and we don't have to run around. It's much better than before we fled from the famine."

Seven or eight men with big knives in their hands came towards them. They seemed to be sent out for night watch. Yuxiu stood behind a big tree and watched those men walk all the way to the village entrance. They sat on a stone by the roadside and started chatting with dirty words.

Yuxiu thought about it, took out the dagger from the space, used the space teleportation skill to quickly come to the side of several people, and swiftly cut their necks.

A few people were still talking about how they didn't have to stand guard tomorrow night and would go play with Village Chief Li's granddaughter when they felt a flash of white light in front of their eyes and a sharp pain in their neck. Without even a cry out, they fell to the ground.

Thinking about what they were talking about, Yuxiu felt heavy in her heart. She did not delay any longer and quickly rushed into the village.

"Hahahaha... Old man, it doesn't matter who eats this. All this food of yours has gone into the stomachs of our brothers, so it's worth it..."

In the yard, a man with a ruddy face sat by the fire, and beside him sat a number of men of different heights. Although their clothes were tattered, they did not look like refugees of famine at all. They all ate until they were fat and shiny.

"Brother, this old guy is so sanctimonious and serious, but now that we have eaten a few bags of his food, he feels bad."

A short and fat man echoed this. He was holding a thin woman in his arms. At this moment, half of her clothes were almost torn off. She just stared at the fire with numb eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Looking at the other men around the fire, each of them also had a woman who looked similar to her. Some of them were still crying silently, while most of them looked heartbroken and unable to resist.

"You can eat the food if you want. We don't mind. Please release all the people..."

A gray-haired old man had his hands and feet tied up and was now tied to a pillar under the eaves, begging these people non-stop.

Yuxiu sat on a high tree branch, watching the scene in the yard coldly.

There were about twenty people in the yard, all of them were strong men. Looking at their bandit-like demeanor, no one knew what they did for a living, but they didn't look like decent people.

"Hahaha, let you go?"

After hearing the old man's plea, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"If we let you go, who will serve us brothers? If we let you go and the food runs out, what will we eat?"

The men's laughter was full of malice and arrogance. The old man was so angry that he spat out blood and his head drooped weakly. It seemed that he was either angry to death or fainted from anger.

Thinking about the information provided by the small system, Yuxiu did not have much sympathy for him because the old village chief was too kind and that caused everyone in the village to fall into trouble.

He sighed, quickly took out the bow and arrow, and first aimed at the man called Big Brother.

"Hahaha, brothers, drink..."

The eldest brother didn't feel the slightest bit of danger. He held a woman in one hand and a big bowl in the other. He was shouting for everyone to drink. At that moment, the feather arrow in Yuxiu's hand flew out and went straight to his forehead with a whistling sound.

"Pfft!"

The eldest brother fell to the ground. The others were terrified and jumped up to pick up the weapons on the ground, but they heard the sound of "Puff! Puff" from time to time in their ears.

Soon, everyone was hit by feather arrows, and most of them were shot in the head and heart. They died instantly. There were a few people who were shot in the abdomen, but they were still alive. They covered their wounds and started screaming.

A dozen ragged women finally reacted at this time. Some of them finally felt that they were saved, and immediately covered their faces and burst into tears. Others picked up the big knives thrown on the ground by the men, raised them tremblingly, and chopped at the men who were not yet dead.

"You beast...give me back my man's life!"

The crazy woman was like a lioness. She was a little scared when she chopped the first blow, but then she thought of the tragic scene when her relatives were killed, and she no longer cared about it. The knife in her hand kept swinging, and as the man screamed, the bright red blood soon splashed all over her face.
