Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 355 Liu Xiao's Decision

In the dim room, the man's screams and howls echoed throughout the village. The villagers trapped in the houses listened to the roars coming from outside with different expressions.

On Liu Qingcao's indifferent face, her deep eyes were calm, and occasionally a subtle light flashed by, which was fleeting and difficult to detect.

She looked in the direction he directed her, and discovered that the man's gaze was filled with hatred and anger. She glanced at him indifferently, snorted coldly, and looked away.

When she interrogated Aries, she observed him carefully and found that there was nothing strange on his expression and what he said did not sound false, but what was going on with this extra person on the ground?

Could it be that Aries is also unaware of his existence?
Many guesses flashed through Liu Qingcao's mind, but she couldn't determine which possibility it was. Finally, she fixed her eyes on the man rolling on the ground.

The man held his waist and abdomen in pain for a long time, and apart from groans and sudden shouts from time to time, he never begged for mercy.

The effect of the medicine was still increasing, and only less than a quarter of an hour had passed.

Liu Qingcao found a bench and sat on it, quietly watching the man in pain, but her eyes began to look around the room.

When entering the village, she happened to turn her head and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a momentary change in the eyes of the three men on the sled. The three men's numb eyes changed from fear and despair to suddenly shining, and their eyes wandered around the village. That's why she walked back and forth in the village repeatedly after entering.

She was not unmoved by the cries for help from the people in the house, but she would not risk paying attention to those imprisoned people until the danger was eliminated.

Now that this person has come out, she feels much more relieved.

And she was sure that he was the only one in the village who was unknown to Aries. If there were other accomplices, they would have appeared together with the people on the ground when they were wandering outside the house, and would not have waited until now without taking action.

The man's groans of pain became weaker and weaker. When Liu Qingcao came to her senses, he was already sweating profusely and his whole body was trembling. Only then did she stand up and walk over, took out a rope from her sleeve, tied the man up step by step, and threw him onto the sled.

The things on the sled were squeezed to the corner by four people. Liu Qingcao didn't care much about it. He just glanced at the lost expressions of the three people, and then drove Junfeng towards the people who were imprisoned.

When she got closer, she didn't open the door directly, but stood outside and started asking questions through the gap in the window.

"Who are you? Why are you locked up here?" Liu Qingcao's voice was suppressed, not quite crisp enough, yet childish.

The people in the window heard the voice and hurried over, worried that Liu Qingcao would not let them out if they didn't answer, and said anxiously, "We are villagers of this village. We were robbed by this group of bandits who suddenly came more than half a month ago and were locked up here. Young master, we have been locked up for a long time. Can you please let us out?"

Liu Qingcao did not answer, but continued to ask, "Where did the other people in the village go?"

The man was silent for a long time before he choked up and replied, "They should all be dead."

"Dead? How did he die?" Liu Qingcao looked at the pair of eyes inside and asked.

"I haven't seen them since they were caught trying to escape."

The person inside lowered his head, and Liu Qingcao could not see the expression on his face.

"So what are you guys eating?"

This is what Liu Qingcao is most concerned about. There are still sixteen people here. She has not looked for food in the village and does not know the food situation. If there is none, they will not be able to survive even if they get out.

As for whether she is willing to take out the food, that will have to be discussed later.

After hearing what Liu Qingcao said, the person inside hesitated for a long time and did not speak, as if he was considering how to respond.

Seeing him like this, Liu Qingcao had an idea in his mind.

"I will open the door for you, but I have to warn you first." Liu Qingcao moved aside to reveal the four people on the sled, then warned in a deep voice, "If you open the door and have any evil intentions, you will end up like the four people above."

"No, no, no, we promise not to do anything rash. The young master saved everyone, and we won't repay kindness with hatred."

"Yes, we are all grateful people. We will not do anything to you, young master."

“Yes, yes, the young master saved us. If we still have other ideas about you, then what is the difference between us and those bandits.”

When the people inside heard this, they began to make assurances, fearing that the kids outside would not believe them.

They heard the bandit's screams clearly not long ago, and they would not dare to have any other thoughts about this kid even if they were given a hundred courages.

Liu Qingcao listened to what they said but did not make any move to open the door for them. There was a lot of food on her sled, and the villager who had just talked to her did not answer her question of how she made a living.

He must have hidden some food and no one had discovered it, and he was worried that if he told her, she would take it for herself.

This is human nature, Liu Qingcao can understand it, but one must be on guard against others. Who knows if the food they have hidden is enough for them to survive! ?

If not, these people will inevitably have plans to target her, so it is better to be cautious.

Seeing that Liu Qingcao didn't respond, the person who had been talking to her earlier squeezed through the crowd and spoke carefully, "Young Master, if you are willing to help us, we are willing to give you five kilograms of food as a reward."

As soon as the man finished speaking, the woman beside him anxiously tugged at his sleeve and hesitantly whispered, "Zhou'er, isn't this a bit too much?"

Zhao Yunzhou frowned for a moment, sighed helplessly, and explained to the woman, "Mom, although food is important, we need help from others now. If we don't show some sincerity, no one will let us go like this."

The woman was dissatisfied and was about to persuade him again, but Zhao Yunzhou glanced at the willow green grass outside the window and interrupted his mother's next words without hesitation, "Mom, we don't know when the remaining bandits will come back. If we waste time because of the food, we will have no chance to leave by then."

When the woman heard the serious consequences, she no longer dared to stop it.

"Okay, five pounds of food. Let the kid outside open the door for us." Although the woman did not stop him, she felt as if a piece of her heart was being cut out when she thought about taking out five pounds of food. She twitched in pain.

The voices in the house were very soft, but Liu Qingcao still heard them outside. Five kilograms of food was not much for her, but it was life-saving food for these people.

Everyone inside showed their sincerity, so Liu Qingcao naturally would not remain silent anymore.

"Okay, I'll open the door for you."

Zhao Yunzhou's face lit up with joy and he kept thanking him.

The door of the house was not only locked, but also propped up with wood. Even with brute force, it would not be opened for a while.

It would be impossible to use an iron hoe, as those people would not leave them anything to escape.

Liu Qingcao moved away pieces of wood that were thicker than her legs. When the wood was moved away, the wooden door was completely exposed. She looked at the door lock and took a hammer from the sled and smashed the lock.

When the door was opened, the villagers who had been waiting inside ran out excitedly one by one, completely forgetting Liu Qingcao who was standing beside them.

Only the man who promised Liu Qingcao food stopped at the door. He bowed and thanked sincerely, "Thank you, young master, for risking your life to save our lives."

Liu Qingcao's expression looked better then. "It's something we both agreed to, so don't mind it."

Zhao Yunzhou was stunned for a moment, then said seriously, "Young Master, please wait a moment. I will go get the food right away."

Liu Qingcao nodded, turned and walked towards her sled, not caring where the man was going to get food for her.

There were only five people in this house, and the others were locked up in several houses around. When she opened a room, someone would go and open the door for other villagers.

After all the villagers were rescued, Zhao Yunzhou also came over with a bag of food. Liu Qingcao took a look at the bag, which was bulging and it was obvious that there were more than five kilograms of food.

Liu Qingcao secretly gave Zhao Yunzhou a thumbs up in his heart, thinking that he was really a man who knew how to handle things.

"Young master, this is the food I promised to give you." Zhao Yunzhou handed over the food.

Liu Qingcao glanced at the villagers around him. Although they all had reluctance on their faces, no one wanted to come forward to argue.

She took the sack and placed it on the sled, saying calmly, "All those bandits have been tied up by my people. You can stay here in peace."

Zhao Yunzhou was startled, then he reacted and bowed to Liu Qingcao again in gratitude.

"Thank you, Young Master, for telling me. Zhao is very grateful."

Liu Qingcao said "hmm" softly and slowly left on the sled.

Zhao Yunzhou speaks and acts clearly and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he is a scholar. He is not very old and might even be a scholar.

He was able to give her more food than he promised, which meant that they still had a lot of food in stock, at least enough for them to survive the winter.

Since it was enough, she didn't need to send them food. As for the bag of food, Liu Qingcao naturally put it in the thatched shed at the entrance of the village.

Liu Qingcao did not give Zhao Yunzhou and the others any chance to vent their anger on the four people on the sled. She wanted to take them back to stay with the people in the ear room.

In the Gu family mansion, Liu Wu came back and saw Liu Xiao and the other four lying on the bed. None of them looked normal, and shock and anger instantly appeared on his tired face.

"Brother, what happened to you? Are you seriously injured? Were you robbed on the way back?" Liu Wu walked forward quickly, speaking with concern.

Liu Xiao lay there for some time. After the medicine was applied to the wound, it was no longer as painful as before. Seeing Liu Wu coming back safely, he finally felt relieved.

"Liu Wu, the girl has already applied medicine on our wounds. It's nothing serious now. Don't worry." Liu Xiao comforted him, and then remembered that the girl had left for a while, he said to Liu Wu, "Go and see the girl, so that she won't worry about you." What Liu Xiao didn't say was that he was afraid that the girl would go out and find the remaining thieves to avenge them. He knew that his girl was a protective person, and it was no wonder that she would think so since they were so badly injured.

The girl was very kind to them. She felt very sad to see so many of them injured like that. Liu Wu did not object. He nodded obediently and walked out.

Before she had walked far, she saw Yu Cheng, who was not far away, running towards her in a hurry with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Yucheng, why are you in such a hurry?" Liu Wu quickly walked up to Yucheng. Seeing his anxious look, her heart was lifted up.

Yu Cheng handed the note over and stood there to catch his breath. Liu Wu looked at the words on it and felt sick.

"girl!"

Liu Wu's eyes widened and he exclaimed, then he disappeared on the spot.

Yu Cheng looked at Liu Wu who suddenly disappeared, and the breath he had just recovered came up again, almost suffocating him.

"You'll get used to it, you'll get used to it..." After recovering, Yu Cheng patted his chest and muttered to himself to comfort himself as he walked.

In the wing room, Liu Wu landed at the door, stepped over the threshold and entered the house, saying anxiously, "It's not good, it's not good."

After Liu Xiao and the other four heard what Liu Wu said, they all felt a pang in their hearts. What they feared was coming true.

Liu Xiao's face changed slightly, but he still tried his best to remain calm and asked seriously, "What's going on?"

Liu Wu frowned and handed the note to Liu Xiao, "Brother, what should we do now?"

Liu Er and the other three didn't understand what was going on, but seeing Liu Wu looking so nervous, they felt something was wrong.

"Liu Wu, help me go to the ear room." Liu Xiao frowned, his tone brooking no room for rebuttal.

Liu Wu glanced at Liu Xiao, who was wrapped in cotton cloth, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his eyes.

"Brother, I know what you are going to do. It will be faster if I go alone."

After saying this, Liu Wu turned around and went to the ear room.

Liu Xiao did not call out to Liu Wu, but his brows were already furrowed, and now their frown deepened.

The five of them are now seriously injured and can't help at all, and they might even drag down Liu Wu.

Liu Xiao looked around the room, sighed helplessly, closed his eyes and thought about a solution.

Liu Liu narrowed his cold eyes, clenched his fingers tightly, and then his pale face showed a different expression.

Liu Wu arrived at the ear room, the anger on his face had not yet disappeared. When Aries saw the person who suddenly broke in, he frowned and lowered his head, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

Liu Wu walked forward a few more steps, glanced around the room, and his eyes fell on the man who was leaning against the wall with his head lowered and motionless.

"You, raise your head." Liu Wu stood in front of the man and gave the order in a cold voice, not as approachable as usual.

Aries pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly. He was angry but didn't dare to show it. He raised his head and said nothing.

Liu Wu was anxious and said directly with a dark face, "How many of you have not come yet, and where are you?"

Bai Yang raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Wu lightly, pursed his lips, and finally gave up resistance, "Nineteen people, all in the village three kilometers away."

After Aries finished speaking, he didn't even look at Liu Wu's expression, but stared blankly at a certain spot on the ground.

Liu Wu had something on his mind and went to the side room without stopping.

Pushing open the door, Liu Wu looked even worse than the five people in the room. She took a step forward, her steps staggering a little.

When Liu Xiao saw Liu Wu's appearance, his heart was in his throat.

Liu Er, Liu San, Liu Si, and Liu Liu also looked at Liu Wu nervously.

"Brother, the girl went to the lair of those thieves." Liu Wu's mouth drooped and tears welled up in his eyes.

“How many people are there and where are they!?”

"Nineteen people, big brother, there are still nineteen people. How can a girl be their opponent?" Liu Wu's voice was trembling, and his fingertips were shaking violently. It was unclear whether he was afraid or excited.

She looked so fragile and helpless that no one in the room had time to comfort her. They were all worried about what was happening to Liu Qingcao.

After a moment of silence, Liu Xiao climbed up from the bed with red eyes, her eyes were dark and her voice was full of determination.

"Let's go help the girl."

Liu Er, Liu San, Liu Si, and Liu Liu also stood up from the bed one after another and looked at Liu Xiao with firm eyes.

Liu Wu looked at the five people and burst into tears. However, she stopped crying after just a dozen breaths. She looked at Liu Xiao and nodded heavily.

Liu Qingcao chased Junfeng, and Junfeng pulled the sled and slid rapidly on the snow, leaving two long tracks behind.

She didn't know what decision Liu Xiao and the others in the Gu family mansion had made, but she could guess their reaction after seeing the note.

She hurried along the way, fearing that Liu Xiao and the others would do something extreme.

Liu Qingcao left a message on the note. She thought Liu Wu would go to the ear room to interrogate the person, but she didn't expect that the information Liu Wu got would be so different from hers.

While Liu Qingcao was rushing back, Liu Xiao also rushed out with five people on a sled.

The sled was moving very smoothly on the snow, but Liu Xiao and the others were injured and needed to lie down quietly. Even on the smoothest snowy road, the wounds on Liu Xiao and the others' bodies still burst open.

The bright red blood soaked the cotton cloth, and the five people sat on the sled in silence.

Liu Wu was worried about Liu Qingcao, and felt sorry for the injuries on Liu Xiao and the others. His round little face was wrinkled, and two tear marks were still clearly left on his fair face, making him look really pitiful.

The two sleds were running towards each other in the snow, and both were going very fast, so the time for them to meet soon came.

Liu Qingcao saw a sled speeding towards her from afar through the flying snowflakes. At that moment, her heart suddenly tightened.

At this time, how could she not guess what was going on.

Liu Qingcao saw Liu Xiao and the others, and Liu Xiao and the other six naturally saw Liu Qingcao as well.

It's just that the mood gap between the two parties is too big.

"Why are you here?" Liu Qingcao turned his gaze to Liu Xiao and the other injured people, and said in a deep voice, "You all don't want to die, right? You're bleeding like this!"

"Girl..." Liu Wu's voice choked with sobs and he rushed over with tears in his eyes.

Liu Qingcao looked at Liu Wu hugging her, feeling so sad that she couldn't control herself and her heart softened.

She made them worry.

But the wounds of Liu Wu, Xiao Wu and the other five couldn't wait, so she patted Liu Wu's back gently and tried to comfort him in a gentle voice.

"Liu Wu, I'm fine. Didn't I write it on the letter? I was just going out for a walk and told you not to worry. Why didn't you listen?" There was helplessness in Liu Qingcao's tone, but there was no blame at all.

Liu Wu let go of Liu Qingcao, looked her up and down, and then answered with a nasal voice, "Girl, we are worried about you."

Liu Qingcao curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Liu Wu's face, then glanced at Liu Xiao and the other four and said, "Okay, hurry up and get on with the sled. Liu Xiao and the others can't wait to heal their wounds."

Liu Wu nodded, sat on the sled, pulled the rope and made a steady bend on the snow. He followed Liu Qingcao's sled and quickly moved towards the Gu family mansion.

Liu Xiao leaned silently against the wooden board, his lips pale. Liu Liu turned his head to glance at the people beside him, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, uncorked it, poured out a pill, and carefully handed it to Liu Xiao's lips.

Liu Xiao looked at the pill quietly but did not open his mouth.

"Brother, this was given to us by the girl in front. Second brother also ate one, so you should eat it too." Seeing that Liu Xiao didn't eat it, Liu Liu explained after a long time.

Liu Xiao shook his head, "It's okay, we'll be there in half a quarter of an hour, keep this medicine." Liu Xiao knew that this medicine was precious. The injuries on his body only looked scary, but they were actually not light, but he could still hold on.

Moreover, he knew that they would be fine, otherwise, the girl would have treated them long ago and would not have waited until she returned.

Liu Qingcao naturally wanted to treat the five people's injuries immediately, but it was not convenient for her now, and it was not convenient for Liu Xiao and the others either. The most important thing was that the diluted spiritual spring water and hemostatic pills were all gone in her space.
