Chapter 175
After learning that it was public food, Yan Changman enthusiastically accepted the basket.
Yan Yao pointed to the tables and chairs not far away: "Go over there and eat."
The group of people nodded, walked to a table not far away and started to share the cakes.
At this moment, two women sneaked over carrying buckets. The group of refugees immediately stepped forward to help them when they saw them.
"Hurry up and drink. We'll get the bucket later."
After exchanging a few words, the two left in a hurry.
The refugees sitting on the ground immediately gathered around the bucket, staring directly at the water in the bucket.
The old woman at the head took out several beveled bowls from her bag and filled them with water for them to drink in turn.
Everyone was already hungry and thirsty, so they drank heavily after it was their turn.
It was dark, and there was a distance, so Yan Changman, Yan Changming and others who were eating did not notice the movement here.
After delivering the food, Yan Yao deliberately passed by the group of refugees.
The old woman glanced at Yan Yao and chased after him.
"Girl, please do your best to stutter."
Yan Yao stopped and turned to look at the old woman.
The old woman limped to Yan Yao with heavy steps.
"Girl, give me something to stutter. My little grandson really won't be able to hold on if he doesn't eat."
Yan Yao handed her the two remaining pancakes in the basket.
"Old man, I only have two pancakes left here. I'll give them both to you."
"Thank you, the girl is really the reincarnation of the living Bodhisattva. The old woman kowtows to you." After saying this, the old woman knelt down.
Yan Yao stepped forward to help the old woman up and said softly: "They seem to have noticed something moving outside the village. Several village chiefs have organized strong labor to strengthen the vigil. That family lives in the east yard. What do you want? The gold, silver and jewelry are in the hands of the man named Yan Shu."
She had another prophetic dream last night, in which a large group of refugees broke into the village late at night.
They were numerous in number and their methods were extremely cruel. All the men and old people in several villages were killed. Younger women became tools for them to vent their beastly nature, while all the children were captured and used as two-legged sheep.
Everything in the dream made her uneasy. When she found refugees appearing near the village, she knew that the prophetic dream was about to happen.
So, she made a deal with this group of refugees in private, drew a topographic map of the interior of Panfeng Village and gave it to them to gain their trust, and promised to help them explore the situation in the village.
This group of refugees promised to let their family leave after they invaded the village tonight.
Her main purpose of doing this was to take the opportunity to deal with that bitch Yan Shu.
The old woman took a deep look at Yan Yao.
"How can I trust you?"
Yan Yao said coldly: "The warehouse was empty when we came to the village. Panfeng Village has been here for many years and intercepted countless merchants. How could they not have any wealth in their hands? It must have been Yan Shu who transferred it in advance. The money in the warehouse has been transferred out, and everything I said is true. If you don't believe it, just grab two villagers from the village and ask."
The woman pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Girl gave us a few buckets of water today. If what you said is true, we will definitely remember this kindness in our hearts. What do you want, girl?"
Deep hatred flashed in Yan Yao's eyes.
"I want that bitch Yan Shu to disappear completely."
The old woman smiled sinisterly: "I've made a note of it, and I will definitely make the girl achieve her wish tonight."
After the two had a brief conversation, Yan Yao hurried back to the backyard.
Not far away, two figures left closely behind.
Returning to the backyard, the seventh uncle sighed with a heavy face.
"I didn't expect Yan Yao to have such vicious thoughts."
Yan Shu sneered: "In order to get rid of me, my cousin will do anything she can."
Uncle Qi seemed to have made up his mind: "It seems that we have to clean up the house today."
The old woman walked back to the team and suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain. Others also developed similar symptoms.
"My stomach hurts."
The old woman seemed to be waking up from a dream, pointing to the two buckets and said: "That water... there is something wrong with that water! That dead girl dared to poison us!"
A cold voice came: "You'd better save your energy."
The old woman looked up and saw a large group of people walking towards her.
Yan Shu looked at his seventh uncle on the side.
"Seventh Uncle, how do you want to handle this matter?"
The seventh uncle's face was gloomy, and he glared sharply at the two women delivering water.
"Tell me, who asked you to deliver water?"
The two women were trembling with fear.
"We...we saw how pitiful these people were and couldn't bear it, so...we brought them two buckets of water."
Yan Shu smiled softly: "It seems that Aunt Zhao and Aunt Wu are still unwilling to tell the truth. Uncle Mu Mu, you tell me."
Yan Mutou walked out of the crowd and glanced coldly at Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao's pupils shrank and she wanted to grab Yan Mu's hand in a panic.
"Master, you..."
Yan Mutou shook her off with a look of disgust: "I saw with my own eyes that Zhao Xiaolian accepted two taels of silver from Yan Yao, saying that he was helping to carry water to these refugees."
"Uncle Mu Mu, don't talk nonsense." Yan Yao hurried over, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.
Yan Shu looked at her coldly.
"If Uncle Mu Mu is talking nonsense, why should my cousin be afraid?"
At this time, the old woman who was lying on the ground saw Yan Yao coming and pointed at her with vicious eyes.
"You little bitch, it's you who poisoned our water. You... you are so... so poisonous."
Yan Yao was also full of doubts. Aunt Wu and Aunt Zhao had drawn the water themselves. They were in the same boat that took her money, so there was no way they could have poisoned the water.
Who was responsible for this poison?
After thinking quickly, Yan Yao said, "I admit that I was the one who sent the water. I just felt sorry for them and wanted to help them out of kindness, but I really didn't inject this poison."
The old woman gritted her back teeth and determined that it was Yan Yao who poisoned them, and she was threatening to kill them all.
"Bitch, you must have wanted to kill someone when you saw what happened was exposed. I will never let you do it."
The old woman looked at the seventh uncle and laughed loudly: "Haha, you must... still don't know, right now... the entire village has been surrounded by a large number of refugees, this little bitch... no... I don't know where he got it from After hearing the news, she came to us and said she wanted to negotiate a deal with us. She gave me... us a topographic map of Panfeng Village, and promised to help us invade the village. The only requirement was that we... kill one The girl named Yan Shu!"
When the old woman told the truth, Yan Yao's beautiful face was as pale as paper.
The seventh uncle, the village chief, and several clan elders all looked at her with disbelief.
"Girl Yaotou, we thought you were kind-hearted, but we didn't expect you to be so vicious."
"That's not the case. Seventh Uncle, fellow clan elders, don't believe what this old woman says. She must have been bribed by Yan Shu to deliberately frame me."
Yan Shu sneered: "Yan Yao, now that things have come to this, you still want to throw dirty water on me?"
Then I have no choice but to let you die clearly.
Yan Shu looked at Aunt Zhao and Aunt Wu.
"Both of you, you have all been deceived and committed wrongdoings. As long as you sincerely repent and tell the truth to the clan leader and elders, the clan can treat you leniently. If you continue to be ignorant and help some people I’m afraid you can’t afford to be charged with covering up the truth and colluding with refugees to murder your own people!”
