Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

Xu Liyun was determined not to put her children or any villagers in such danger. Since she had chosen Zhangjia Village as her home, it must become a pure land away from all the troubles!

Zhang Laoer thought it made sense, but he still had some concerns: "The government sometimes makes mistakes. Can you ensure that no one can escape by leading those villagers who have never experienced storms?"

Xu Liyun raised a confident smile: "With me here, no one can escape. Besides, I don't plan to rely on the villagers alone. Zhou Xiucai has lived in the village for so long, he has already integrated into Zhangjia Village and become half of the Zhang family. He is also Sanwa's master. For the sake of his disciples, it is reasonable for him to help us, isn't it?"

Xu Liyun blinked her bright eyes at Zhang Laoer, with confidence and cunning in her eyes.

She now looks completely different from the past. Her plump and healthy figure, coupled with her no longer timid and calm temperament, has wiped away the traces of sadness that used to hang on her cheeks, and replaced them with a radiant and vibrant glow.

Zhang Laoer's heart started beating fast when she looked at him like this. He lowered his head in a hurry and pretended to pick up the teacup leisurely, but he didn't realize that the cup was already empty, with only a few lonely floating tea leaves.

A blush of embarrassment quietly crept up his ears. Xu Liyun saw all of this and couldn't help feeling a ripple of pride in her heart.

The plan was set, and Zhang Laoer was well aware of his own incompetence in this regard, so he simply handed over all matters to Xu Liyun.

The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Xu Liyun set out alone to find the old village chief.

She was anxious and walked with firm steps as she headed straight for the village chief's house. She also secretly invited Zhang Rui. The three of them sat together and discussed in low voices the shocking discovery last night that was enough to shake the peace of the village.

When the old village chief heard the news, the pipe in his hand trembled involuntarily, so much so that a tough beard on his chin was pulled out, but he seemed unaware of the pain, and the sudden shock overwhelmed him.

"Is this true? Did you really see it with your own eyes and investigate it yourself?"

He asked eagerly, his tone mixed with disbelief and nervousness.

Xu Liyun, a weak woman, went to Black Dragon Mountain alone to track down the bandits. In the eyes of the old village chief, this move was undoubtedly bold and risky.

Although the previous fight against the giant insect proved her bravery and strength, tracking and fighting are two different things after all. He was afraid that she might misunderstand, so he asked her questions one after another, in great detail.

Xu Liyun recounted her experience without reservation, from how she discovered the clues, to the thrill of going deep into the tiger's den, to the layout of the mountain stronghold and the appearance of the bandits, all were described vividly.

When she mentioned that one of the bandits had a thumb-sized black mole under his right eye, Zhang Rui's face suddenly turned gloomy, and the old village chief was stunned for a moment, and his eyes gradually became moist.

Xu Liyun was confused by their reactions.

After some inquiries, she found out that the old village chief had a lovely granddaughter who was ruthlessly abducted by human traffickers several years ago.

In order to find his daughter, Zhang Rui led the villagers to track down the human traffickers' hiding place, but witnessed a heartbreaking scene there.

The daughter fell ill due to the extreme shock and the bad weather, but the cold-blooded human traffickers ignored her, neither called a doctor nor gave her any medication.

In the end, the innocent child could not escape the call of death, and his life was forever frozen in that tragic time.

What is even more outrageous is that the leader of that group of villains is a man with obvious facial features and a black mole under his right eye.

It is said that although he was once arrested and sentenced to exile, he later killed the officer on the way to be escorted and disappeared since then.

"They are actually hiding in Black Dragon Mountain!" Zhang Rui stood up suddenly, his eyes burning with anger and hatred that were almost tangible.

The old village chief took a deep breath, closed his eyes, then slowly opened them and said with a heavy sigh: "We agree with your plan."

Deep in the Black Dragon Mountain, there are not wild beasts roaming around, but a group of criminals who once escaped the law are hiding!

This group of extremely vicious guys were most likely the escaped prisoners, and now they had set their greedy eyes on the village, attempting to loot the village's property and food in just two days.

In less than half a day, this life-and-death news spread throughout the village.

At first, the villagers stood there in a daze, seemingly still digesting the meaning of the old village chief's words, but soon, panic and determination intertwined into a complex emotional web in everyone's heart.

When everyone fully realized the impending, horrible fate, the entire village seemed to be shrouded in an invisible fear. The usually bustling streets were now filled with only hurried footsteps and low discussions.

In many families, adults and children all looked pale and restless, with their eyes revealing deep worry about unknown disasters. Some people have even begun to quietly pack up their valuables at home.

Several timid villagers, with tears in their eyes, asked with sobs: "Who are those evil spirits? If they come for money, can we raise money and offer it to buy some peace?"

After saying this, his body couldn't help but tremble, and it was obvious that he was still filled with fear.

"Bah! How dare you say that!"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhang's face turned pale and she rebuked him harshly, completely changing her usual kindness. Her anger made her forget the panic in front of her. "Back then, when you were showing off your wealth, did you ever think of this day? It was your excessive publicity that made the wealth of Zhangjia Village known to the world, which attracted the covetousness of these villains! I think it would be better to drive these ostentatious people out of the village and let them reap what they have sown. The bandits brought trouble upon themselves!"

When the people in the kang-panning team heard this, they all looked embarrassed and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Fortunately, Boss Zhang was sharp-eyed and careful. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the emotional Old Lady Zhang tightly, and comforted her softly, thus avoiding an unnecessary dispute from breaking out in the yard.

The old village chief waited for the atmosphere to calm down before he spoke slowly: "I am not calling you all here to listen to your quarrels. The bandits are about to invade, and we in Zhangjia Village have nowhere to retreat."

As soon as the words fell, it was like a hammer hitting their hearts. Everyone felt their chests tighten. Even if they had thousands of words to say, at this moment, they were all silent.

The old village chief continued, his voice slow but every word powerful: "I know that most people in our village cannot bear to kill even chickens and ducks, and have compassion in their hearts, but those bandits are lawless and cruel, robbing and plundering without restraint. Once we surrender and offer silver, not only will we not be able to gain peace, but we will be regarded as weak and vulnerable, and as a 'fat sheep' hiding more wealth. Sooner or later, even the last grain of rice and food will be plundered away."
