Liu Pan'er replied without hesitation or arrogance: "Back to the general, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, it was discovered by a young man named Li Dazhuang from our village. He accidentally touched it with his arm and was in great pain.

Later, we did experiments and found that serious cases could be fatal, while less serious cases would be unbearably painful. Facing those bandits, we were unarmed, so we tried to find a way to use a piece of earthen garbage to hold a piece of gold-skinned leaf in case of emergency.

I thought of using it."

At this time, Village Chief Li was too frightened to speak, fearing that he would say the wrong thing. He did not expect that his niece-in-law, the Yuan Qing family, would be so courageous.

Imperial Envoy Gu Shao was stunned. He didn't expect that there was such a powerful thing. "Is there a whole plant?"

Liu Pan'er pointed to the right and replied: "Sir, there are many over there a hundred feet away from here. There is a layer of fine white furry thorns on these leaves, and these thorns are poisonous.

It's this thorn that makes people miserable. When picking leaves, it's best to plug your nostrils with cotton balls and close your mouth, otherwise it will be inhaled into the body and make it even more painful."

Gu Shao nodded and cupped his hands, "Thank you so much, madam. You should hurry up and pack your things and go to Dadukou."

Liu Pan'er thanked, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!"

Liu Pan'er had already said what needed to be said, and quickly got down from the big pile of rocks and walked back.

Village Chief Li's face was complicated and he was still frightened, "You are from the Yuan Qing family, you are an imperial envoy, how dare you speak?"

Liu Pan'er was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was ancient times with strict etiquette, not modern times. He smiled and said, "Uncle Village Chief, don't you think about it, if everyone is silent, if more officers and soldiers are injured by the golden leaves,

, isn’t it our fault?

Especially those rubbish, my sister-in-law and I did it. If you want to ask questions, why don't you ask me first? So no matter what, I have to remind the officers and soldiers first to reduce injuries and clear away our responsibilities. I see that the imperial envoy

Sir, if you are interested in the gold-skinned leaves, my explanation of the situation is just a matter of convenience."

Village Chief Li scratched his head, with a look of joy on his face, "Yuan Qing family, thank you for your boldness and speaking up in time, otherwise more officers and soldiers would get into trouble, and we would be unlucky then."

Ms. Liu had been worried and wanted to come out to have a look, but she also knew that there were only children in the cave and she could not leave.

This time, although Li Dabao, Li Rong and others were nervous and scared, they no longer worried that their stepmother would not want them.

When Mrs. Liu saw Liu Pan'er running over from a distance, she thought something big had happened, and her legs became weak with fear.

Liu Pan'er quickly ran back with joy on her face, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and pack your things with the children. The government officials have shot all the bandits. Let's hurry up and go to Dadukou, where we can take a free boat ride to the south."

Mrs. Liu, who originally thought there was no way out, was stunned and surprised after hearing Liu Pan'er's words, "Third brothers and sisters, can we...can we really cross the river?"

"Yes, you heard me right." Liu Pan'er replied, seeing a few children standing beside them stupidly, "You guys, stop standing there in a daze, hurry up and pack your things, we can

Cross the river early and go to the south."

Li Dabao scratched his head, "Yes, mother, I will take care of it now."

In fact, when Liu Pan'er went to fight with the villagers against the bandits, Mrs. Liu had already brought her people to pack up everything, just in case they couldn't hold on, and they would have to hide in the dense forest.

In less than half a moment, Liu Pan'er's family had already packed up.

Li Dabao led the family's old scalper. Li Xiaobao and Li Nan sat on the back of the cow. Some heavy objects were placed on the old scalper's body as much as possible. The adults carried some light packages and traveled lightly.

Village Chief Li's family was not slow in their actions and brought everything they could.

Zhou Cuihua carried a bag full of grain and brought it to Liu Pan'er, "It's from Yuan Qing's family. This is the grain that those in our village didn't take with them when they ran away. It's been several days, and they haven't come back. I guess they won't come back either."

I won’t come. Let’s take the food away and leave it here. It’s a waste. Your food is gone, so I’ll give you some.”

Liu Pan'er was stunned for a moment and showed hesitation, "Auntie, I don't want these grains from us. When we go to the south, there are abundant products and we can always find something to eat. Let's leave some grains in the cave and place them high, and I will leave a letter.

, tell them they can cross the river."

When Zhou Cuihua heard this, she was slightly startled, and replied: "If these grains are left, they may not eat them, and they may be taken away by others. The weather is humid now, and these grains will be stored for a few more days."

If there are insects, it will also get damaged.

I know you have good intentions and are worried that the escaped villagers will have no food when they come back. However, you don't have to worry, in such a dense forest, you can always find something to eat and you will not starve to death.

Furthermore, except for your father-in-law who is literate, the people in the village are literate and even you are literate. If you write a letter, they probably won’t be able to understand it. It’s a waste of effort, so don’t bother.”

Mrs. Liu also felt that the village chief's aunt was right. She felt that there was no need to keep the food and waste it. "Third brother and sister, I know you have good intentions, but leaving most of this food is a waste. If you meet the villagers again in the future,

, let’s return the food.”

Zhou Cuihua nodded, "Yes, when the time comes, as long as we have someone who stutters, we will help the villagers, so that you will feel comfortable."

Seeing that her aunt and sister-in-law both said so, Liu Pan'er nodded, "Okay, that's settled. Aunt, the villagers can't read, so I'll use charcoal to draw on the walls of the cave. They'll know who we are at a glance.

Once you cross the river, you will come out of the dense forest. As long as you cross the river and go to the south, you might encounter them again in the future."

Although Liu Pan'er was in a hurry, she couldn't do nothing since she had taken other people's food.

So Liu Pan'er took out a few blackened branches from the extinguished fire and painted a picture of crossing the river by boat on the walls of the cave of the seven villagers who had not yet returned.

Only a few strokes, vivid and lifelike.

Village Chief Li praised, "Yuan Qing family, you are so thoughtful. If the villagers come back, they will definitely come to the cave and see these paintings."

Liu Paner smiled calmly, "We are all from the same village, from the same clan, and we help each other. It is safer to follow the villagers along the way. I always keep it in mind."

"Yes, there is strength when there are more people." Village Chief Li nodded and had a better impression of Liu Pan'er. It seemed that he had misunderstood Ms. Liu before. "After the painting is done, let's leave quickly without delay."

People from Lijiacun, Zhaojiacun, and Liujiacun gathered together again and headed back the same way.

What is sad is that the number of people now is only 70% of the original number. Many people escaped that night and were killed or injured and did not even come back.

Everyone was in a low mood and remained silent.

Li Dabao cried while holding the cow.
