Someone was still staring at her when she was cooking the porridge. Bai Zhi had no choice but to put the medicine inside her sleeve and let the powder leaked while stirring the porridge. The powder was white, so as long as she let it leaked little by little, no one will be able to see it. She kept stirring the porridge until all the medicine powder was poured.
When the porridge was cooked, Bai Zhi proposed to drink a bowl first to help them taste it.
As soon as the soldier smelled the porridge, they couldn’t count how many times their stomach complained. They knew that this will be their last ration of rice. After today, they will be forced to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so how could they be willing to give Bai Zhi a bowl?
The porridge was hurriedly carried away by two soldiers. Three hundred soldiers, each took a bowl, in the end, a dozen soldiers had no choice but to eat roasted sweet potatoes with the villagers.
As the sky turned dark, Bai Zhi quietly moved to Hu Changlin’s side, then handed a thin scalpel to his hand and whispered: “There is a drug in the porridge they have eaten. It will take effect in a short while. There were a dozen of them failed to eat it. Take this knife and quietly loosened the villagers and told them to deal with the remaining soldiers together. There are many of us, they don’t need to be afraid of them. If they don’t fight, all of us will die.”
Hu Changlin understood, so he immediately followed what Bai Zhi said. All the people who were tied up were young and strong men in the village. They had stomached the anger in her heart for a long time. So when they heard Hu Changling’s words, their blood boiled. Right, if they don’t fight, they will die. If they succeed, they might still have a chance to escape.
Bai Zhi squeezed into the group of women and cut off the ropes that bound them one by one. When she squeezed beside Zhao Lan, a low voice made Zhao Lan’s body tremble, and her tears could not stop falling. She found this child familiar before, and the more she looked at her, the more she thought of her daughter. She didn’t dare to recognize her, nor want to recognize her. She would rather her not be her daughter.
However, she was Bai Zhi, she’s really Bai Zhi.
“Niang, I will save you, don’t be afraid. We will be free soon.” She patted Zhao Lan on the shoulder.
Zhao Lan choked out: “You stupid girl, you’re really looking for death!”
Bai Zhi replied: “Without niang, what is there to live for?”
Zhao Lan’s tears fell more and more fiercely, and her hand that was pulling Bai Zhi became tight. The previous fear in her heart was swept away. Courage that she never had before gathered on her chest. With her daughter beside her, she was not afraid of anything.
A soldier found out that something was wrong with them, and immediately came over: “Hey-what are you doing?” The soldier held the grip of his sword and ready himself to pull it.
Zhou Xiaofeng and Hu Changlin stood up. The men who were squatting on the ground also did the same.
Many of these women were their wives and daughters. They simply cannot sit idly.
Seeing this, the soldier shouted, “You are so brave!” He pulled out his long sword and was about to shout to his distant brothers, but suddenly, he felt his eyes dim. He felt the world was spinning and then fell to the ground, unconscious… …
The soldiers in the distance also fell to the ground in different locations, some fell on the left, right, front, and the backside.
In the end, only a dozen ignorant soldiers standing silly, not knowing what happened.
Bai Zhi stood up and shouted at the big guy: “Go and get weapons, kill them, and avenge our loved ones.”
