My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 203 Robbery Along the Way

The little girl flitted past like a butterfly, paying no heed to the bandits lying on the ground.

She accidentally stepped on someone's leg, causing the bandit to scream. She ignored him and ran over to touch the horse, then looked at the other horse, her face beaming with a bright smile, overjoyed.

Chang Mianmian ran forward as well, crying out in distress, "Look at these poor little guys, how long has it been since they had water? They're all so wilted."

She quickly used a small water balloon to feed the horse, which neighed repeatedly and swept its tail back and forth.

One horse drank water, and the rest of the horses all gathered around Chang Mianmian.

"Okay, okay, my little darlings, you can have them all."

Several villagers were helped up by the people of Zhoucun, clutching the bundles of grain in their arms, and glanced at the bandits on the ground with lingering fear.

Just now, these people almost stole my things.

This was his last remaining life-saving food, and he couldn't let anyone take it away from him.

Thinking of this, the villager was filled with indignation and went forward to kick the bandit several times.

Most of the robbers who came to rob the bandits were dead, and four were captured alive. At this time, they were injured on their heads, faces and bodies, and lay on the ground groaning.

Xin Nian was overjoyed to have seized sixteen horses in one go.

These little guys were all worn out and Xin Nian didn't plan to send them out immediately. She took them back to the farm and raised them for a couple of days first.

This time, all the villagers from Zhoucun and others who followed behind witnessed this incredible transformation of the horse into a living creature.

Shocked, I dared not say a word.

Although no one said it aloud, everyone was thinking to themselves, "No wonder the Sixth Sister has everything she wants; it turns out she has such supernatural powers."

For the ten thousandth time, Village Chief Zhou was overjoyed that he had followed Old Man Zhou's advice and arranged for all the villagers to follow the governor's entourage.

This person has definitely chosen the right person to follow.

He was certain that those who escaped from Binzhou later would not have had such an easy and smooth journey as they had.

They followed behind the governor's entourage and truly benefited from his favor along the way.

Xin Nian ruffled her messy hair and waved her hand, "Dig a hole and bury the body."

"Girl, should we kill these men?" Luan Dalong, holding a knife, gestured to one of the bandits, whose face was bruised and swollen, as if to cut his neck.

The bandit cried out in a strange voice, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I can offer you all my gold and silver treasures!"

Xin Nian's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.

Yes! This bandit's den must be nearby, and it might even be hiding a lot of good stuff.

Even bandits need to eat, so they must have hidden some grain!
The most interesting thing was about robbing the rich and distributing grain.

The little girl perked up, and when she looked at the few surviving bandits, her facial expression softened considerably.

"How are you? Can you still walk on your own? If so, take us to your lair."

The bandits nodded and bowed, repeatedly agreeing.

"Fifty people, come here!" Xin Nian called out, and people of all ages gathered around.

"We don't need so many people." Xin Nian casually pointed out fifty or sixty people, and escorted the four bandits towards their lair.

Chang Mianmian followed beside her sister, fanning her with a palm leaf fan all the way, saying, "I never expected such a good thing to happen."

"Sis, didn't you say we have a psychic in our team? Why didn't he warn us of the danger when the bandits attacked?"

"They probably think this isn't really dangerous?" After all, they were just a group of defenseless bandits, not some kind of sorcerers.

“Although it’s not really dangerous, if he manages to connect with any suspicious targets using his mental powers, he can report it as soon as possible!” Chang Mianmian kept whispering in her sister’s ear. “We have so many people in our group on this journey. If we could fight bandits and collect grain along the way, wouldn’t that greatly alleviate the food shortage?”

Xin Nian nodded upon hearing this, "You're right. I'll go beat him up later and make him report it earlier next time."

Chang Mianmian nodded, "Good work will be rewarded, bad work will be punished."

"Oh well, never mind." Xin Nian thought about how she had beaten someone to tears last time, and couldn't help but give up the idea.

"Making him cry is troublesome."

Chang Mianmian exclaimed incredulously, "Captain! That's not right. We have to have our own principles! We can't just stop fighting because we think it's too much trouble. We still have to fight when necessary, otherwise how can we gain the respect of the troops?"

The guards, including Captain Zhang, who were following behind the young ladies, seemed to have heard something unbelievable. Although they dared not say anything, they looked at each other with somewhat strange expressions.

“You’re right.” Xin Nian reflected for a moment and nodded solemnly. “Then I’ll punch him a couple of times later and teach him a lesson.”

The four bandits ahead walked with trepidation, knives to their own necks, fearing that the Queen's men might accidentally slash them.

"Your Majesty, it's right ahead. Go around that earthen wall, there's a stone slab behind it. Lift it up and you can go down to the cellar."

As soon as Xin Nian raised his hand, Zhang Ju led his ten soldiers forward.

They escorted the bandits over and saw that the stone slabs had already been lifted by the soldiers. Zhang Ju and his men were the first to slide down the rope.

Xin Nian instructed Luan Dalong and Xiao Yong to lead ten escorts to watch from above.

She and Chang Mianmian also took some people down with them.

The cellar was surprisingly large; the family had dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room house underneath. No wonder the bandits chose this place to set up camp and wait for their prey.

With rice and noodles readily available, and large containers of water stored up, life was quite comfortable.

Xin Nian packed up several boxes of gold, jewels, and other inedible items.

These things are so bad that nobody would pick them up if they were left on the roadside; they'd rather not carry them around.

The remaining large items, such as wooden frames and baskets, were difficult to lift, so Xin Nian also put them into her space.

Food, water, and cloth were all carried back by others.

The distance wasn't far, and some people even rushed back to call more people to come and move the goods, so the process was quite fast.

Xin Wenyuan and his team were still waiting at the same spot when they were surprised to see the group carrying back so many things.

There were many things, but no one felt they were heavy at all. Everyone carried them with great enthusiasm and beaming faces.

Xin Nian waved her hand, signaling for the grain and cloth to be distributed.

The villagers of Zhoucun waved their hands repeatedly, only willing to accept grain, but daring not to accept cloth or other items.

Xin Nian thought about it and realized that there really hadn't been time for them to cut cloth and make clothes along the way, so she took it back for now and planned to deal with it later.

A large group of people celebrated the Lunar New Year by sharing food.

Xin Nian then went straight to Yan Xi's side, and without saying a word, they started fighting.

Ling Luo was startled and reacted quickly, dodging a punch. "What are you doing?"

What's gotten into you again?!

Those two poor things, they were just sitting here peacefully, what did they do to attract the attention of this little miss?
"You just gave Yan Xi healing potion, and now you want to hit him?"

"Ask him yourself." Xin Nian didn't waste any more words with him and continued hitting him.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Ling Luo retreated while parrying the attack, struggling to defend against the woman's fierce punches.
