Farm Girl’s Space: Picking Up a Major Villain during the Runaway Journey

fy inside.
Unfortunately, this made them the prime targets for the thieves.

Her young grandson, only six and a half years old, was snatched away by a swift figure right when she heard the shouts.

But she hadn’t even realized what had happened, and by the time she had reacted, her grandson was gone.

In addition to Old Lady Wu’s family, two other families lost their children.
The rest lost the most food.

“Damn it, they’ve already robbed us in the afternoon, and now they’re back.
These black-hearted scoundrels!”

The quiet night was completely disturbed by the noise.

Old Lady Wu and the other two families who lost their children couldn’t find their children and had nowhere to vent their grief.

Suddenly, they remembered that they had someone on night watch.
Where was the night watchman?

Just now, there was a thief who came by.
Why didn’t the watchmen wake them up beforehand?

If they had been awakened, this wouldn’t have happened.

Old Lady Wu got up from the ground in one roll and blurted out, “Whoever was on night watch tonight, you owe me for my grandson.”

The other families who had lost their children and food finally found a way to vent their anger and began to gather around the night watchmen.

The five night watchmen were dumbfounded when they saw this and were afraid that they would be blamed for the incident.
They quickly tried to excuse themselves.

“It wasn’t us.
It’s already the latter half of the night, so it should be the other five people on watch.
This has nothing to do with us,” they said.

“It’s not our fault either.
The people who were on watch before us should have woken us up when they finished their shift, but they didn’t,” they continued.

Both sides insisted on their own explanations and were unwilling to take the blame.

Old Lady Wu saw that her own son was among the night watchmen tonight and went up to him and gave him two slaps.

“You bastard, your own son was taken away, and you were sleeping on watch.
I’ll beat you to death, you scoundrel!” she shouted.

As soon as she delivered those two slaps, it was like she had opened a strange button, and everyone else followed suit.

They didn’t care about who was right or wrong anymore.

Everyone rushed forward and beat the ten people who were supposed to be on watch tonight.

It wasn’t until dawn that this farce slowly calmed down.

The tension in everyone’s heart loosened, and they sat on the ground in a daze.

They had made such a fuss all night, but they didn’t have the courage to say that they wanted to leave alone.

If they couldn’t even protect themselves when they were together, how could they protect themselves when they were alone, especially when they had so much food with them?

At this moment, they realized how lucky they were to have traveled with Shen family.

They thought that they would be safe from bandits since they were getting close to the prefecture, so they didn’t try to convince Shen’s family to stay with them when they said they were going south.

A woman who had lost her child sobbed and said, “In this year of famine, what’s the point of stealing children? It’s just adding another mouth to feed.”

A voice explained, “They have no food left, they’re capable of anything.
Have you forgotten about those bandits who resorted to cannibalism?”

As soon as those words were spoken, the people who had lost their children broke down, crying uncontrollably.

They had initially thought that someone without children had taken their children to raise them, which would at least mean they were alive.

But if they were being treated as food…

On the other hand, the journey towards the south with the Shen family was relatively calm, but trouble awaited Shen Yu’an and her family as they further their trip.
