Chapter 342 Villagers Revolt
Quarter of an hour later, Liu Xiao brought a group of people back to the carriage, waiting quietly for Liu Qingcao's next order.

Liu Qingcao did not waste any time and started assigning tasks to them.

"Liu Xiao, you take ten people to gather the sled boards together. Liu Er, I'll give you twelve people. Shout out from 20 meters ahead. Oh, and bring Liu Er with you. Let him speak when necessary."

"Yes, young lady." Liu Xiao and Liu Er clasped their fists and led the people away.

Liu Qingcao then began to make arrangements, "Liu San and Liu Si, the two of you retreat a hundred meters and prepare some food so that you can replenish your energy later."

"Liu Wu and Liu Liu, take the rest of the people and head to the two sides of Xiaojia Village to capture the villagers who are fleeing. If there are not many people in the village, you can make your own arrangements. You don't have to hold back on these people. Remember to protect yourself."

Finally, Liu Qingcao was worried and gave another reminder.

Liu Wu and Liu Liu looked at Liu Qingcao and nodded seriously, then left with a group of people.

Only after everyone had left did Liu Qingcao lower the curtain and get off the carriage.

Everyone has work to do, and she is no exception.

After Liu Er and his men arrived at the location, they followed the method given by Liu Qingcao and shouted towards the direction of Xiaojia Village.

As for what the shouting was about, Liu Qingcao did not say much, only saying that it would be enough to lead the person out.

Therefore, none of the twelve people had a good word to say, which made Liu Er, the leader, feel a pain in his teeth, but he did not stop them.

In Xiaojia Village, the villagers were stunned by the sudden noise coming from outside the village. It took them a while to realize what these people were talking about.

"Da Chu, listen, are these people scolding us?" Liu An's handsome face showed suspicion and he turned to look at Liu Da Chu who was standing beside him.

Liu Dachu listened carefully for a while, his face suddenly turned ugly and angry, "These fearless bastards are tired of living, and they dare to bring people back to seek revenge on us."

Liu Dachu bared his teeth and cursed, then spat on the ground and snorted with disdain, "You only dare to make trouble from a distance, a bunch of cowards."

After hearing what Liu Dachu said, Liu An frowned in displeasure. He glanced at Liu Dachu inconspicuously, but his tone was flat and no emotion could be heard.

"Da Chu, although there are many people in the village, not many of them are ours. Okay, go gather them together. We can't let these people get left behind."

Liu Dachu also knew how serious the situation was, so he ran towards the village without delay, shouting as he ran.

After Liu Dachu ran away, Liu An's face suddenly darkened. He stared at the direction where the sound came from outside, his eyes dark and unclear, and a sinister voice came out of his mouth.

"Since you are not honest, don't blame me for being unkind."

After he finished speaking, Liu An lowered his eyes, turned around and walked towards the village with a normal expression.

Outside Xiaojia Village, Liu Wu and Liu Liu led their men to hide carefully in the surroundings.

Liu Wu and Liu Liu were wearing warm clothes and had internal energy to warm their bodies, so there was no big problem.

Yuan Bachi and his group were thinly dressed and weak, and they were suddenly unable to move in the snow in such severe cold. They soon began to shiver with cold.

Liu Liu had been secretly observing the group's every move, until he saw them acting like this without saying a word, and then he pushed the jar in his hand to Yuan Bachi.

"Everyone take two sips to warm up your body."

When Yuan Bachi saw Liu Liu's action, he was stunned for a moment, then he quickly reacted, nodded gently, uncovered the oil paper covering the jar, drank two sips, and then his eyes lit up.

He didn't care about being excited and just crawled slowly towards the person next to him.

"Big brother, what are you doing here?" The man was so cold that he stuttered. Except for his lips and eyes, his whole body seemed to be frozen and unable to move.

Yuan Bachi didn't explain much. He just pinched the man's mouth open and carefully poured the wine in the jar into him.

The man didn't even struggle, but let Yuan Bachi do what he wanted, trusting him completely.

As the wine went down his throat, the man's eyes widened instantly. He looked at the jar in Yuan Bachi's hand excitedly and raised his hand to touch the jar.

There was no way Yuan Bachi would let the man touch him, so he quickly retracted his hand, then turned sideways and crawled towards the next person without stopping.

The same action was also happening at the other end of Xiaojia Village, but the process was slightly different.

In the ancestral hall of Xiaojia Village, a group of men and women stood together, some whispering to each other, some asking anxiously.

The person standing at the front of them was a man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an elegant temperament and a fair face.

The man calmly scanned the faces of the people below one by one. After a while, the people in the ancestral hall stopped whispering and slowly quieted down.

"Uncle, aunt, brother and sister-in-law, have you all finished speaking? If you have, can you let me have a few words?"

Liu An's voice was gentle. Although he was asking the villagers at this time, there was no doubt in his tone.

All the villagers below fell silent at once, and their expressions became unnatural. The timid ones began to dodge and avoid Liu An's gaze.

Liu An saw that the time was right, so he retracted his gaze and said calmly, "I asked you all to come here on this snowy day because I have something to discuss with you."

"Everyone knows that the village has arranged two teams to go out and look for food. Although they have the families of these people in their hands and there are people following them secretly, but..."

Liu An's voice suddenly turned cold and a faint light flashed in his eyes, which was difficult to detect.

When the villagers saw Liu An suddenly stop talking, they took a closer look and found that his face looked not good, and a chill rose in their hearts.

No matter what they felt in their hearts, Liu An ignored them. He had long been accustomed to these people's ever-changing expressions. He sneered in his heart but did not show it on his face.

"The two groups of people who went out yesterday included our family members. Now, overnight, none of them have returned. Overnight, we don't know what happened to any of them.

But not long ago, there was a lot of noise outside the village. After listening carefully, these sounds were not unfamiliar. I think everyone heard it. "

"Anzi, you said, you said these people are them?" A woman had a complicated expression and spoke in a nervous and bitter voice.

Liu An nodded slightly, said no more, stepped back a few steps and stood aside, making room for him.

When everyone saw Liu An nod and leave, they all started to panic. They knew very well at this moment how serious the consequences would be if these people were not under their control.

"What should we do? If someone finds out about what we did, how can we face people?"

"Yes, yes, what should I do?"

"No, I didn't mean it. I couldn't help it. I, I just wanted to live." A man murmured in panic, and he kept backing away as if he was going crazy. Finally, he huddled in a corner, shaking his head and mumbling to himself, but no one could hear what he was saying.

Seeing this, the villagers around felt even more complicated. Some of the timid ones began to regret, some began to lower their heads and wipe their tears, and some wandered around in the crowd numbly. No one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

"Shut up, everyone. What are you doing making so much noise?"

Just as everyone was filled with fear and panic, a deep and powerful roar sounded in the ears of the villagers.

The villagers suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked towards the source of the sound.

"Chief, you are here."

"Chief, tell us what to do. We will listen to you."

"Yes, please tell me about it."

Everyone reacted and started asking questions at once. The numbness and sluggishness on their faces seemed to have gained a backbone, and all of it disappeared immediately, turning into a sense of urgency.

The patriarch looked at the villagers who were looking at him with hope, and a hint of fatigue appeared on his old face.

He really regrets it now, but things have come to this point and there is no point in regretting it. He can only go down the same path and suppress this matter.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet and let's listen to what the clan leader has to say." Liu An saw the villagers' mood changing and reminded them at the right time.

This reminder indeed calmed the villagers down, and they looked at Liu An again.

In the crowd, a skinny man stared at Liu An, his deep, sunken eyes filled with hatred.

Liu An seemed to sense something and looked up at the crowd, but found nothing unusual. When he was wondering, the patriarch interrupted his thoughts.

"Yuan Bachi and his group have ignored their wives, children and the elderly, and are determined to unite with others to go against us. For the sake of our loved ones at home, we cannot just sit there and wait to die." The patriarch had a serious face and made the decision as soon as he opened his mouth.

Liu An stood silently aside, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with what the patriarch said.

Liu Er and others outside the village shouted heart-wrenchingly in the snow and ice for nearly fifteen minutes, until their voices became hoarse and unclear, but no one came out of Xiaojia Village.

Liu Er was puzzled, but he kept Liu Qingcao's words in mind and never acted rashly.

Just when he was about to turn back to ask Liu Qingcao for advice, a hazy black spot suddenly appeared in front of him. The black spot was getting closer and bigger. Only when it got closer could he see it more clearly.

Seeing the people coming from Xiaojia Village, Liu Er hurriedly pulled Liu Er back. The speed seemed very fast, but in fact, they kept the most appropriate distance from the people coming out. When the villagers of Xiaojia Village saw that the people in front were about to run, they kept shouting and quickened their pace.

Liu An was not as strong as the villagers working in the fields, so he was the last one to fall behind, gasping for breath.

Almost half a quarter of an hour later, villager Liu Dachu looked at the person who was getting closer and closer, and suddenly threw the hoe in his hand forward. Liu Er noticed that something was thrown at him from behind, so he stopped and looked at the object.

"What a strong force you have." Liu Er snorted coldly and threw the person in his hand away without any hesitation.

A muffled groan was heard, and a figure fell from the flying snowflakes onto the ice. Immediately afterwards, another black shadow hit the ice with a "bang", causing ice to splash everywhere.

Liu Dachu was stunned for a moment, and some doubts arose in his mind, but they were quickly replaced by excitement.

"I hit one of them, and they can't run anymore. Hurry, everyone, chase them and catch them." Liu Dachu was very excited. If he caught each person, he would get an extra three liters of food and one pound of meat. He had made a good start, and maybe he could get one more liter. How could he not be happy?

Seeing this, the villagers couldn't help but get excited. They quickened their pace and chased after Liu Er and the others.

Liu Er was thrown out by Liu Er to block the flying hoe, and the hoe happened to hit his knee, breaking his entire leg bone. At this moment, he was lying on the ground unconscious, with his right leg strangely folded.

Liu Dachu ran over excitedly, ready to tie the man up, but when he got closer he suddenly realized the person on the ground. He was extremely familiar with him, and the sudden discovery made him stunned where he was.

"Liu, why is Liu Er here?"

Liu Dachu exclaimed and hurried over to check the situation. When he found that Liu Er's leg bone was broken, he was shocked and angry.

How could he not understand until now that Liu Er was thrown out by the people they were chasing to be used as a shield?

Liu Dachu didn't bother to pick up the hoe that fell on the snow and ice. He picked up the unconscious Liu Er and walked quickly towards the village.

If it was someone else, he wouldn't have made this trip, but Liu Er was not just anyone else. He was the woman's beloved. If he died...

Liu Dachu shuddered, not daring to think too much, and gritted his teeth and continued to speed up his pace.

The rest of the villagers chased forward excitedly, paying no attention to what was happening here with Liu Dachu. Only Liu An, who was a little slower, noticed Liu Dachu's abnormality.

When Liu An saw the familiar face, a look of shock appeared on his pale face, but he quickly returned to normal. He looked at Liu Dachu who suddenly took a detour, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and then he followed the villagers in front as if nothing had happened.

In just a blink of an eye, most of the villagers who were originally aggressive disappeared in front of him in an instant. This change made him feel dangerous and he couldn't take a step forward.

These people came prepared!

Liu An's head was buzzing and he quietly retreated backwards.

After a while, he heard faint shouting from the village behind him. It was very short, but it made him feel cold all over and his forehead was chilled.

Half an hour later...

Liu Wu and Liu Liu led their men to completely control the entire Xiaojia Village, while Liu Er also tied up all the villagers tightly.

After Liu Qingcao received the news, he took people and sleds to meet up with Liu Wu, Liu Liu and others.

As soon as they arrived at the village, Liu San and Liu Si distributed the freshly steamed buns. The plump, white, steaming buns were served with a plate of oil-pickled pickles, which made the villagers of Xiaojia Village jealous.

Although they survived by some means, most people's lives were not easy, but they were still better than those in other villages.

Liu An was tied up like a dumpling and lying on the ground, his sight right in front of Liu Er who was eating.

Liu Er originally didn't care about that pair of eyes and continued to eat the steamed bun in his hand slowly. But every time he took a bite of the bun, that pair of eyes seemed to become more resentful, which was really disgusting.

"What are you looking at? Am I going to eat your meat?" Liu Er glared at Liu An unhappily.

Liu An's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and stopped looking. Liu Er thought that this man was quite sensible, but he didn't know that Liu An's drooping eyelids were scarlet.

Liu Qingcao saw that everyone in the carriage had almost finished eating, so she got out of the carriage.

At a glance, there was a sea of ​​people on the ground, about eighty or ninety in number, half more than them.

"Liu Wu and Liu Liu, how are the rest of the people in the village?"

"Miss, these people are locked up in the village ancestral hall. There are nearly two hundred of them, but..." Liu Wu frowned and said coldly, "More than a hundred of them were captured."

"Okay, I understand." Liu Qingcao nodded and said gently, "Take me to see it."

Liu Wu said "hmm" and walked towards the ancestral hall with Liu Qingcao.

In the ancestral hall, there was a lot of noise, with cries, noises and shouts mixed together, which was very uncomfortable to listen to.

Liu Wu walked to the door and protected Liu Qingcao behind him.

Liu Qingcao shook her head and walked out from behind her.

When I pushed open the door, the noise inside stopped for five breaths. Five breaths later, the crying of a child began. In this quiet ancestral hall, the sound was particularly loud.

Liu Qingcao glanced around and saw that the people in the ancestral hall were roughly sitting on the ground, one on the left and one on the right. Although most of the people on the left were women, children, the elderly and children, their clothes looked much cleaner, and they all had rosy complexions and were of normal weight.

But the people on the right are much worse. They are thin and weak, and look like they are dying.

"Liu Wu, let Yuan Bachi and the others in." Liu Qingcao said to Liu Wu after looking at everyone inside.

Not long after Liu Wu left the ancestral hall, he came in with a large group of people.

They stood behind Liu Qingcao, their eyes constantly searching the crowd, some excited, some panicked, some filled with hatred.

"Check to see if your relatives are inside."

"Yes, yes." Yuan Bachi answered excitedly, but suddenly his expression changed, and he said in disbelief, "No, that's not right, my son is not here."

Liu Qingcao followed the direction Yuan Bachi was looking and saw a woman hugging her legs and crying, her voice was mournful.

"Liu Wu, are all the villagers here?"

"Girl, Liu Liu is still searching in the village and should be back soon." Liu Wu answered truthfully.

Just as Liu Qingcao was about to nod, he saw a figure coming towards him quickly. It was Liu Liu.

Liu Liu stopped steadily beside Liu Qingcao with an unsightly look on his face.

"Go ahead." Liu Qingcao's expression was calm, but his eyes were cold.

Liu Liu hesitated for a moment, took two steps towards Liu Qingcao, and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Liu Wu, you watch here. I'll go out and take a look."

"Yes, girl." Liu Wu guessed that the matter was not simple, and his tone became serious.

Liu Qingcao followed Liu Liu out of the ancestral hall and went straight to the end of the village.

At the end of the village, a house stood alone in the snow. The house was not small. In the icy snow, Liu Qingcao could smell a faint smell of blood from a distance.

This is where this group of villagers committed evil.

"Girl, inside"

"It's okay, I'll go in and take a look."

"Okay." A hint of worry flashed across Liu Liu's cold eyes, but his hands moved quickly.

The door was opened and the smell of blood hit Liu Qingcao in the face, making her feel nauseous.

"Liu Liu, is there anyone in here?" Liu Qingcao suppressed the discomfort in his heart and magnified his five senses.

"Girl, there are four people here. They are the people arranged by the village to do this. I have already tied them up." Liu Liu didn't find Liu Qingcao strange. Although the girl was not very old, her facial features were no less sensitive than theirs.

Liu Qingcao understood and walked into the house.

This is the main room of the house. There is an oil lamp lit in the room. The light is not dim, but the smell of the burning oil is a bit unpleasant.

There was nothing else in the main room except tables, chairs and benches. Liu Qingcao turned his head to look at the closed door and sniffed carefully.

Yes, the smell is much stronger than in the other rooms.

"Liu Liu, it's in here, right?"

"Girl, this is where they slaughter, and the other rooms are used for division and storage." Liu Liu's expression was solemn. She clenched the long red whip in her hand, and the veins on the back of her hand were slightly visible.

Sensing Liu Liu's emotional change, Liu Qingcao gave her a soothing look and then walked towards the Nadao Gate.
