Grandpa Zhang took the mask, with a flash of determination in his eyes: "At the critical moment, Grandpa will drive Xiao Hei. Our loyal carriage is moving at full speed. Now that the whole family is in the same car, it is much more convenient to move."

After that, the family members quickly put on the masks that looked more like advanced gas masks, and every seam showed signs of careful design.

Xu Liyun gently adjusted the mask for Zhang Laoer, who was still in a coma, to ensure that it could effectively protect his breathing.

Zhang Wuya was listening at the side and could not help but break out in a cold sweat. She said with a trembling voice, "Young lady, should we release the drug first? Just hearing the name of this snake-attracting incense makes me feel scared."

Xiao Youniang nodded slightly to show her agreement.

She immediately opened five packets of Sanli Mihunxiang. With each packet she opened, her eyes became more determined, as if she was making sure that the plan was foolproof.

As soon as the medicine bag was opened, a faint medicinal fragrance began to spread in the air.

As a breeze blew by, Xiao Youniang raised her hand silently, and the love powder dissipated like invisible smoke.

The escort personnel following the carriage were the first to be affected. The drug took effect so quickly that it was as if the scythe of death was swung lightly, and the crowd fell down like a wheat field in autumn.

A few sharp-eyed villagers just noticed something strange ahead, and pointed at the carriage with trembling fingers, but could only make a few unclear mumbles from their throats, and then fell to the ground weakly.

Grandpa Zhang carefully leaned his head out and looked at the people lying all around him. He secretly admired the effectiveness of this medicine, which should not be underestimated.

But the gangsters leading the way were still immersed in their own world, unaware of all this.

Xiao Youniang peeked at the outside world again, patted her grandfather's shoulder gently, and conveyed confidence with her eyes.

She recalled the key points of practicing martial arts in her mind, and then stretched her body, as if flying into the air. Although the distance was not far and the height was limited, it was already shocking enough at this moment.

Just as the bandits in front were about to turn around to check, Xiao Youniang decisively threw the Ecstasy Sachet in her hand at their faces. The powder was like petals flying in spring, spreading rapidly with the breeze.

"One, two, three, down..."

“This medicine is really highly effective.”

Xu Liyun patted her chest, looked at the villagers lying on the ground with lingering fear, and muttered to herself: "If I had known it would be so troublesome, I should have used drugs directly from the beginning."

Grandpa Zhang got off the carriage steadily, holding a hemp rope in his hand. "We must tie them up quickly before they wake up, and tie each one tightly."

Then, the Zhang family members quickly tied up the villagers on the ground one by one with hemp ropes, and their hands and feet were tightly bound.

After everything was arranged, Zhang Mingyi clapped his hands in satisfaction, but inadvertently discovered a figure hidden in the shadow of the cypress tree opposite.

"Who is it?! Come out now!"

At this moment, Zhang Mingyi was full of confidence. Even if there were some fish that slipped through the net, it would not cause any big waves.

The Zhang family looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl about the same age as Zhang Wuya timidly walking out from behind a cypress tree, her body trembling slightly: "Don't hurt me, I...I..."

Xu Liyun looked carefully at the girl in front of her. She was wearing rough linen clothes with layers of patches on them, but they were extremely clean.

Xu Liyun looked around and confirmed that there was no one else before asking, "Are you from this village too? Young lady, tie her up as well."

The girl quickly shook her head, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "No, I was also captured."

"We have already dealt with them all, why didn't you take the opportunity to escape?"

Xu Liyun asked curiously.

The girl called herself Xinghua, tears in her eyes, and slowly told her story: "Five months ago, I accompanied my daughter to Hongsi Temple to pray for peace. On the way back to Tianyuan County, we passed Niu Shangpo and encountered this group of robbers. When I woke up, we were tied up in the woodshed."

"Afterwards, a few villains broke in and said they wanted to make my daughter the woman their boss liked. And I was taken away by a guy named Asheng, and then... wuwuwu..."

Mentioning that painful memory, Xinghua couldn't help sobbing, and tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string.

"Then your lady..."

Zhang Wuya knew from the plots in past books and movies that many ladies from wealthy families would choose extreme methods to prove their innocence in order to protect their chastity...

The humming of Xinghua carried a few barely perceptible tremors, as if it was trying hard to suppress the turbulent waves in its heart.

Then, her emotions suddenly exploded like a wild horse, and her high-pitched and sharp voice cut through the silence: "Yes, that's right. My pure and innocent lady resolutely chose to mutilate herself in order to protect her reputation - she bit off her tongue! It was all because of them, those despicable and shameless people, who pushed my lady to the edge of despair. I swear to take revenge, put an end to their crimes with my own hands, and seek justice for my lady!"

Xiao Youniang frowned slightly, seeming a little tired of this commonplace revenge plot.

She shook her head slightly, with a hint of impatience in her tone: "Apart from the people who were arrested, are there other villagers in this village? Do they know about our actions?"

Xinghua's gaze fell on the unconscious Gangzi, and her eyes seemed filled with hatred and anger that were about to burst.

"There are still a few old, weak, women and children in the village, but most of the young people have been captured by you. The rest are just some old and weak elders and young and innocent children."

Then, she looked at Xu Liyun almost pleadingly: "Madam, can you take me to the government to report the case? I know all the evil they have done. But please don't choose Niu Shang Town, it is the same as Niu Shangpo. Only the county town, Tianyuan County, is the place of justice."

Facing Xinghua's request, Xu Liyun's brows showed some doubt: "Why should I believe you? What if you deliberately misled us and let the remaining gang members in the village take the opportunity to rescue us, or even turn against us?"

Xinghua looked determined and said confidently: "I, Xinghua, can swear on my life that I have nothing to do with Niu Shangpo. On the contrary, I hate them to the core, especially those men. I have nothing but overwhelming hatred in my heart!"

Whenever she thought of the single men in the village sneaking in like thieves and acting stealthily, she felt waves of nausea welling up in her heart.

Ah Sheng, who was standing by, felt that Xinghua's words and actions were too artificial, attracting the attention of men. Whenever someone approached, he would be punished innocently.

Many times, she wished she could just run into a wall and die, and leave this miserable world with the young lady.

However, reason told her not to do so.

Once she chooses to escape, the death of her young lady will become an eternal mystery, and who should repay this blood debt?
