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

Zeng's father looked at his daughter with a look of emotion. He knew that if it weren't for the burden of their family, Zhengen would never have been caught here. He said to Zeng's mother who was worried, "Old woman, don't say anything more. Don't you believe in your daughter's ability? Since she said she's fine, then she must be fine. Although we can't help much, we can't hold Zeng'er back."

After that, Zeng's father patted Zeng's mother on the shoulder, turned to Zeng Zhengen and said, "Zeng'er, do whatever you want to do. Our family supports you. Don't worry, we will take good care of the children."

Zeng Zhengen nodded and said gratefully, "Dad, I'll leave those children to you and mom."

Zeng's father waved his hand and said with a smile, "We are a family, there is no such thing as trouble."

After telling her parents, Zeng Zhengen took Zeng Siyuan to the innermost part of the cave. While no one was paying attention, she took out a powerful pill from her arms. This pill was won in her first lottery, and she had given Zeng Siyuan one before.

When Zeng Siyuan saw the pills, although he was not as surprised as the first time, he still felt excited.

"Brother, take this pill quickly. The safety of our parents will be in your hands. I will be back soon."

Zeng Siyuan swallowed the pill in one gulp and immediately felt a strong force surging from his body. He instantly felt full of energy. He looked up at Zeng Zhengen and said solemnly, "Zeng'er, don't worry. Daddy, mom and the children will be safe with me here. But you must be careful and don't get hurt, otherwise we will all be worried."

Zeng Siyuan kept on giving instructions for a long time and finally stopped before Zeng Zhengen opened his mouth to stop him.

Afterwards, Zeng Zhengen walked towards Pan Yang and told him about her plan to sneak into the village for reconnaissance. After hearing this, Pan Yang's face was full of worry.

"Girl Zeng, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. How about I pick a few strong and agile laborers to go with you?" Pan Yang suggested. The surrounding villagers also responded, expressing their willingness to follow Zeng Zhengen to gather information.

Zeng Yatou has helped them a lot along the way. They cannot rely on Zeng Yatou to do everything, and Zeng Yatou has no obligation to help them so much.

Other villagers in the village also followed suit and said they wanted to help Zeng Zhengen deal with the robbers.

"I appreciate your kindness, but if we all go together, we will be too conspicuous and the robbers will definitely find us soon. It would be safer for me to go alone, and you should know my skills."

Zeng Zhengen directly rejected the idea of ​​asking everyone to go with her. She didn't want to give herself away.

After listening to Zeng Zhengen's explanation, everyone agreed with her judgment. After all, she was right. It was easier to act with a small target. Seeing this, Pan Yang no longer insisted and just reminded Zeng Zhengen to pay attention to safety.

Zeng Zhengen planned to wait until dark to take action, using the cover of night to reduce the risk of exposure. However, to her surprise, before she could take action, the robbers came to her door.

Just as Zeng Zhengen was about to leave, the sound of robbers' conversation suddenly came from the cave entrance.

"Second in command, why did you come here in person? Do you have any new instructions?" A robber guarding the cave entrance asked in a low voice with a hint of flattery in his voice.

The villagers in the cave became nervous when they heard the noises. They held their breath, afraid of making any noise. The air seemed to freeze, and everyone looked extremely nervous.

A moment later, another deeper and more sinister voice was heard from outside.

"The boss has ordered us to pick a few people. We need to find some pretty girls to entertain the brothers, and also some fair-skinned children."

After hearing what the second in command said, the villagers in the cave's faces changed from fear to anger.

The robbers' rampant words continued to spread into the cave, and the villagers were so angry that they could hardly control themselves. Some impulsive men could not help but clench their fists, and their joints made crackling sounds.

"I'm going to fight these beasts!" An impatient villager lowered his voice, his eyes full of anger, and he was obviously ready to rush out and die with those robbers.

Seeing this, Zeng Zhengen and Pan Yang immediately stepped forward to stop their impulse.

"Everyone calm down!" Pan Yang said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to be impulsive. We must act according to circumstances and not act rashly."

Zeng Zhengen also nodded and agreed, "That's right, everyone, don't be impulsive. If we rush out now, we may not be able to defeat these robbers with our strength, and we will put ourselves in danger. We have to find another time."

Although her voice was soft, it was filled with unquestionable calmness. Her words calmed everyone down and their anger gradually subsided.

Pan Yang and Zeng Zhengen calmed the villagers' emotions together and made sure that no one would act rashly. Then Zeng Zhengen began to carefully instruct them on what to do next.

"If the robbers come in to pick people later, everyone should try to cooperate with their requests and not arouse their suspicion." Zeng Zhengen whispered, "Once the time is right, I will take action, and everyone should act according to the plan we discussed before."

The villagers responded one by one, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

At the same time, the robbers outside the cave were obviously in a very good mood. They were extremely excited about the boss's orders and discussed them without any scruples.

"Our boss really knows how to care about his brothers! This kind of work is really exciting!" A robber laughed wildly.

The robber next to him echoed, "That's right. As long as we follow the boss, we can have a good life. I heard that there are some pretty girls among the people selected this time. The boss will definitely like them."

The second in command became even happier when he heard what he said.

"Okay, then we'll leave the pretty girl for the boss to enjoy." The two robbers said with a smile on their faces, and then walked towards the cave triumphantly.

However, the moment they stepped into the cave, their bodies suddenly froze, and then they fell down silently, hitting the ground heavily with a dull "bang".

The sound startled the other robbers outside the cave entrance. They looked puzzled and quickly approached the cave entrance to check what was going on. "Second Boss, what's going on?" One of the robbers asked, but before he could finish his words, his body went limp, as if his strength had been drained away, and he fell to the ground in an instant. Soon after, the other robbers fell one after another, all losing consciousness.

Zeng Zhengen looked at the robbers lying unconscious on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly sighed: "This drug is still so effective." She turned around and looked at the villagers. They were obviously surprised by this wonderful scene and were whispering to each other.

"Girl Zeng, this drug is too powerful! It can make these evil guys fall down instantly?" a villager asked in surprise.

Zeng Zhengen nodded and said calmly, "This is a special drug I made. Just a little bit of it can make people lose consciousness instantly. But everyone remember, tie up all these people quickly, and don't give them any chance to untie them. Don't be negligent at all."

Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately took action and quickly tied up the robbers tightly.

After Zeng Zhengen confirmed that everything was arranged properly, she whispered, "Everyone stay here quietly. I'm going to check out the situation outside." After she finished speaking, she quietly left the cave under the cover of night, her light figure swiftly flying towards the direction of the mountain village.

At this time, in the lobby of the mountain stronghold, the one-eyed leader was in a very good mood. He sat alone on a chair at the top, holding a wine jug in his hand and drinking with a smile on his face.

"Boss, on behalf of the brothers, I would like to toast you. I hope our village will get better and better under your leadership!"

A burly man at the lower right of the one-eyed man raised his wine glass and said with a smile.

The one-eyed dragon shouted happily, "Great, our village will definitely get better and better."

After the one-eyed man finished speaking, he raised his wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Then a few more robbers stood up and flattered the one-eyed man.

The one-eyed man was immediately flattered by the flattery of these robbers.

After drinking several bowls of wine in a row, the second in command still did not bring anyone in. The one-eyed dragon finally realized that something was wrong.

"Who of you can go to the cave and see why the second brother hasn't come over yet?"
