Lu Qinghe responded quickly: "My mother went to the kitchen and said she was looking for something to make some medicine."

Li Xiaoshu hurried to the kitchen, and saw the lights on in the kitchen from a distance, and Sang Luo was indeed there.

Sang Luo was holding a thick wooden pot lid in his hand and was looking at the pot on the stove in a daze.

The pot in the kitchen is still there, the water stains in the pot have not dried, but it is not rusty. There is also an oil lamp with oil on the stove.

"What are you doing here?"

"Why do I feel like this pot has just been used? Could it be that the people in this room just left?"

"You're overthinking it! How can anyone set out to escape at night? Are you planning on using a pot to cook medicine for Brother Zhang?"

Sang Luo put down the lid of the pot and said, "I don't want to either, but there is no medicine jar!"

"Let me find it!" Li Xiaoshu hurriedly looked around for a pot that could be used to cook medicine.

"I feel like this house is occupied by someone. The room we stayed in was very clean, and everything was covered."

Sang Luo intuitively felt that there were still people in the village, but no one came out at night.

"Impossible. Someone is living there. If we pry open the door like this, if we didn't jump out earlier, can we still be allowed in?"

Sang Luo felt that what Li Xiaoshu said made sense, maybe she was overthinking it!

Maybe the pot is made of better material and won’t rust easily? Maybe I can’t bring so many things with me, so I just leave them in the house.

Li Xiaoshu finally found a medicine jar and handed it to Sang Luo.

"Decoct Brother Zhang's medicine! I think he's feeling quite uncomfortable. Why don't you give him acupuncture to relieve the pain?"

Sang Luo took the medicine jar and said, "Go and take care of your brother Zhang! Once the medicine is boiled, I will send it to him!"

"do you need my help?"

"No, you're in the way!" Sang Luo took a rag and wiped the inside of the medicine jar.

"Okay! Call me if you need anything!" Li Xiaoshu left.

Sang Luo was sure that Li Xiaoshu was gone, so he fetched water from the space, washed the medicine jars clean, and then took the well water to boil the medicine.

She knew that the well water in the space had the ability to enhance the efficacy of medicine, but the medicinal materials were still lacking, so she had to use it reluctantly.

While Sang Luo was boiling medicine, he took food from the space to eat! Because he was short of water, he didn't cook at night and only ate dry food.

At this time, rustling sounds came from the woodshed.

"what sound?"

Before she could swallow the crystal cake in her mouth, she quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

"Who?" Sang Luo said quickly.

There was no response, and the woodshed returned to silence.

Sang Luo didn't hear the noise anymore, so he thought it might be a rat, so he didn't pay attention and continued eating!

Suddenly, the rustling sounds became more frequent, and the movement seemed louder!

Sang Luo stood up and looked into the firewood house, but there was no movement again!

Sang Luo felt something was wrong. If it were a mouse, it would be normal for it to not move when it hears human voices.

But she didn't make a sound now, she just stood up and took a look, and the sound inside stopped. This meant that the movement inside could see her.

She suddenly felt a little scared and shouted: "Li Xiaoshu, Li Xiaoshu!"

When Li Xiaoshu heard Sang Luo calling him, he quickly returned to the kitchen.

"What's wrong? Are you shouting so urgently?"

"I felt something was in the woodshed, and I heard a noise inside." Sang Luo felt a little nervous.

Li Xiaoshu took out his saber and walked cautiously into the woodshed. As he walked, he used his knife to pull out the straw and dry firewood in front of him.

"Come out!" Li Xiaoshu shouted.

Sang Luo stood outside the woodshed, feeling extremely nervous!

"We are not bad people. Come out and I promise not to hurt you!"

Li Xiaoshu also felt that there seemed to be someone behind the straw pile.

"Come out, I am a government official and will not harm the people." Li Xiaoshu also quickly added.

As soon as Li Xiaoshu finished speaking, the haystack suddenly moved. A woman and a child came out of it.

Li Xiaoshu breathed a sigh of relief and put the knife away.

"Who are you? Why are you hiding here?" Li Xiaoshu asked.

The woman said: "My mother and son are from Hongjia Village, and this house also belongs to my family. When the robbers came, my mother and son hid and escaped."

Sang Luo was startled: "Robber? What's going on?"

"The day before yesterday, twelve people came to the village. Bandits riding tall horses and holding big swords in their hands! They drove everyone in the village to the rice fields and forced the villagers to take their belongings and follow them to escape."

"What? The bandits forced the villagers to flee with them?"

Sang Luo thought he heard wrongly. There was such a strange robber?

The woman nodded: "Yes, they said that if the people in the village don't follow them to escape, they will kill all the people in the village."

"How strange! Didn't the people in your village resist?" Sang Luo was very confused.

"There are people in the village who are resisting, but four or five young men can't beat any of them! They are too powerful." The woman was still frightened when she thought about it.

"So, everyone in the village fled with them?"

The woman nodded: "Seventy or eighty people followed us, and there were still twenty or thirty people hiding in the village! However, they didn't dare to light a lamp at night!"

"Did you see us entering the village holding torches, so you hid?" Li Xiaoshu asked.

"Yes, you and your group were lighting torches. We saw it when we entered the village, and everyone hid quickly! Just now, the child saw this lady eating and couldn't help but move!"

Sang Luo suddenly thought of Liu Chengyong and the others. They seemed to be twelve or thirteen young adults, leading a group of people to escape from famine.

"Among the twelve of them, is the leader wearing black clothes? Others call him Brother Yong?"

The woman nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! Do you know each other?"

She subconsciously pulled the child into her arms, with a hint of panic in her eyes.

"We don't know each other, but today our group almost fell into his hands. Another of our yamen was injured by him, and I am giving him some medicine."

"Oh!" The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

Sang Luo's heart suddenly became filled with panic, and she couldn't help feeling annoyed and blaming herself. She actually gave a bag of water to Brother Yong at that time.

Why is she being soft-hearted today?

I thought they were protecting the people fleeing the famine, but who knew they would actually bully the people like this.

If she had known this was the case, she should have killed him with one knife!

"Did those people hurt anyone in your village?"

The woman thought for a while and shook her head.

"No! They just forced the villagers to flee with them. I don't know where they took the villagers."

Sang Luo quickly comforted: "Don't worry! When we met them, they were indeed leading a group of victims. But no one was injured."

The woman was very puzzled and couldn't help showing worry in her eyes.

"I don't know what they want to do? Can my family come back?"

Sang Luo also thought this was strange.

What do these deserters want to do by forcing a group of disaster victims to flee? What is their purpose?

I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out!
