Chapter 331: No, We're Poisoned
Shen Ruolan looked at the "refugees" running around. She frowned and remained silent for a moment. She said to Bai Zhen, "Take a team and go clean them all up."
If these people are not dealt with cleanly, they will be a time bomb, and Shen Ruolan will not allow such a thing to happen.
"Yes, village chief." Bai Zhen responded loudly.
Shen Ruolan looked at Ji Han and ordered, "Ji Han, you also lead a team of people, report the number of casualties to me, and deal with them all."
"Yes, master." Ji Han received the order and turned around to prepare to count the people.
Shen Ruolan looked at Ji Han's back and suddenly changed her mind. She hurriedly shouted to Ji Han, "Ji Han, burn all the dead people. Transport all the living and half-dead people to the territory of Xia together. It's best to do it at night so that their people don't see it."
After hearing what his master said, Ji Han instantly understood what she meant. He responded to her and went downstairs to do his work.
Shen Ruolan looked upstairs for a while, and when she saw that there was no danger here, she took Mu Jin away.
When Shen Ruolan returned to the village, she saw many villagers running towards the fields in panic. She quickly stopped a villager and asked, "Where are you running to in such a panic?"
When the villagers saw Shen Ruolan coming back, they all hurriedly said to her, "Village leader, I don't know what happened. Suddenly, a large group of wild boars came to the fields and destroyed the crops. Manager Miao asked all the villagers to catch them together."
"Where are they? Take me to see them quickly." Shen Ruolan's intuition told her that the appearance of this group of wild boars was definitely not accidental.
In their village, due to excessive hunting for land reclamation, it is difficult to even see a rabbit, let alone a wild boar. Therefore, she thinks this group of wild boars is definitely man-made.
The villagers said to Shen Ruolan, "Village leader, please follow us."
As soon as the villager finished speaking, he ran towards the direction where the wild boar was.
Three quarters of an hour later, Shen Ruolan followed the villagers to the field. When she saw that there were really a large number of wild boars eating her sweet potatoes, her face suddenly turned dark.
With her careful cultivation, she finally managed to grow five mu of sweet potatoes this year. Now a large area of the land had been destroyed by wild boars. She quickly told Mu Jin behind her, "Mu Jin, go and ask Ji Han to send a group of crossbowmen to help."
After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, Mu Jin hesitated for a moment and said to her, "Madam, why don't you ask someone else to go?"
There were five secret guards in total who followed her out. Today's situation was a little special and they didn't want to be separated from her, fearing that something unexpected might happen and the remaining people wouldn't be able to handle it.
After all, it wouldn't be a big deal if the lady lost some crops, but it would be a big deal if they failed to protect her.
Shen Ruolan saw that Mu Jin was unwilling to go, so she hesitated for a moment and replied, "That's fine."
Then Shen Ruolan instructed another villager to inform Ji Han. She took her crossbow, aimed at the wild boar in the field, and shot.
However, after the wild boars hid their skin, the arrows she shot at them were like tickling them and could not hurt them at all, which made Shen Ruolan very angry.
She had no choice but to tell Mu Jin: "Mu Jin, go get some people to deal with these wild boars."
Mu Jin glanced around and made sure that there was nothing wrong around her before she replied to her wife, "Yes, ma'am."
After she finished speaking, she made a gesture to the secret guards in the dark and flew towards the herd of wild boars.
Shen Ruolan looked at the villagers chasing the wild boars and shouted, "Fellow villagers, quickly catch these wild boars and use them as a snack for everyone tonight."
"Yes, village chief." When the people heard that they were going to have these wild boars as a snack, they were no longer afraid. They took their hoes and attacked the wild boars.
For a while, a fierce battle between humans and pigs broke out in the fields.
Shen Ruolan looked at the ruined crops, feeling distressed and anxious. Just when she was at a loss, suddenly an arrow shot towards her back.
The secret guard who was responsible for protecting her noticed something was wrong, and quickly appeared, picked her up and shouted, "Madam, be careful!"
Just as he finished speaking, an extremely sharp arrow flew out from under the feet of the two men.
Shen Ruolan looked at the arrow that suddenly appeared, her face turned pale. If she hadn't been protected by the secret guards, she would have been shot through.
Shen Ruolan took a deep breath and shouted to the villagers: "Everyone be careful, there is an assassin."
Although the assassin's target was her, Shen Ruolan couldn't help but remind the villagers to be careful.
When Mu Jin, who was killing the wild boar, heard about the assassin, she stopped killing the boar and shouted to her companions, "Come here, protect the lady!"
After she finished speaking, she flew towards Shen Ruolan quickly.
However, Mu Jin and the others were still a step too late. When she was about to get close to Shen Ruolan, she was suddenly surrounded by a group of men in black, who wouldn't let her get any closer, which made her extremely anxious.
The situation for Shen Ruolan and the other two guards was not much better. The number of people surrounding them was twice as many as that of Mu Jin and her group, and the two secret guards beside her had a hard time dealing with it.
Seeing this, Shen Ruolan quickly took out the medicine powder she brought with her and handed it to the secret guard beside her, saying, "Hold your breath and sprinkle it on them quickly."
After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, the secret guards hurriedly did as she said. At one moment, the men in black who were close to them fell down one after another.
However, because there were too many men in black, before Shen Ruolan and her companions could escape, another group of men in black surrounded them.
Gan Luo, who was observing in secret, looked towards where Shen Ruolan and the others lived from time to time. Suddenly, he saw the people from the Shen family rushing over. He hurriedly said to his master, "Master, it's not good. The people from the Shen family are here."
When Xia Hongmiao heard that the Shen family had arrived, he quickly took out the poison he had prepared, gave half of it to his subordinates and said, "Let's go together. We must capture Shen Ruolan within a few breaths. Otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, we will have no chance in the future."
"Yes, master." After Gan Luo finished speaking, he followed his master tacitly and flew towards Shen Ruolan and the others.
In the crowd, Shen Ruolan dodged while shooting at the men in black with the crossbow in her hand. Just as she was about to shoot the next one, an unpleasant smell suddenly entered her nose, making her whole body suddenly feel sore and weak. The crossbow in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
The same situation was also seen with the secret guards around her and the man in black in front of her. Shen Ruolan quickly checked her own pulse and suddenly her face changed drastically as she said, "Not good, we are poisoned."
The two men in black who were responsible for protecting her heard that she was poisoned. They quickly picked up Shen Ruolan and said, "Madam, we will escort you away."
