Chapter 180 A clever plan
"Miss, please wait for me. I'll go and ask the doctor to come over right away!" Xiaomei ran out like a gust of wind.
There were only two siblings left in the room, and Qian Wentao went to close the door.
Just as I closed the door, Qian Yurou's dry and weak voice came from behind me: "Dad is dead, and I don't want to live anymore."
A few days ago, Qian Wentao told her that Qian Zhongsheng was dead. At first she didn't believe it. Later, he took her to a small mound outside the village, dug up the soil, and saw with her own eyes the corpse that had not yet fully decomposed. Only then did she believe it.
Since then, she was disheartened and refused to eat or drink. Even when Guan Jianshan came over every night and did that kind of thing to her, she was numb and didn't feel anything.
Although Guan Jianshan allowed her to enter and leave the village freely, she usually locked herself in her room and never went out, and she even had thoughts of committing suicide.
That day she deliberately broke a bowl and secretly hid a piece of the fragments. Just when she was about to commit suicide, Xiaomei and the other two came in to catch her.
She wanted to save them and release them, so she temporarily gave up on committing suicide. However, the village was heavily guarded and she failed after several attempts.
Seeing no hope, she once again thought about committing suicide and put it into action today.
"You still have me, Rou'er, believe me, our life will get better!" Qian Wentao turned around, strode to the bed and sat down, "Now I have found the Fang family that Guan Jianshan wanted to find, and soon, I will be able to follow the clues to find the Li family and our family's money and grain.
The Li family is extremely abominable. Not only did they almost kill me, they also held me back, preventing me from returning to the village in time. Otherwise, my father would not have died. I will not let any of them go!"
“Besides, if we have money and food, we can help the refugees. Can you bear to watch so many innocent people starve to death and be exploited by Guan Jianshan?
How can I handle so many things by myself? And I only trust you, sister!"
When Qian Yurou mentioned the words "refugees" and "innocent people", her eyes showed some ripples. She raised her head slowly, her face still expressionless, "On the morning of the riot, Dad told me that reinforcements would be arriving soon, and we could..."
"Silly sister, if there are reinforcements, why haven't they appeared yet? It's better to rely on yourself than on others!"
"I saw with my own eyes that my father wrote a letter and sent a pigeon to contact the county lord of the neighboring county. Maybe he encountered some problems. Reinforcements may come soon. We can cooperate with the reinforcements from inside and outside."
Qian Wentao had no hope for reinforcements. If there were any, why had they not arrived yet? However, this was his sister's obsession, so it was important to just go along with her and comfort her.
"This can be used as another method to proceed at the same time. I will pay more attention to the movements on the mountain in the near future. I will let you know if there is any situation."
Qian Yurou's face regained some spirit and she nodded heavily.
As long as they wait for reinforcements, she and her brother Xiaomei will be able to completely leave this troubled place, wipe out the bandits, and save the refugees.
Ten days later.
Qian Wentao came back to the mountain village with a gloomy face. Before entering Guan Jianshan's room, he adjusted his expression and looked very nervous.
"Brother Shan, we have been hiding in the dark for several days and have not found any contact between the Fang family and outsiders. They only come out every few days to look for food, and the rest of the time they hide."
Guan Jianshan's brows were tightly knitted together, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and they flashed coldly as he stared at Qian Wentao's face, making him feel frightened.
"Brother Shan, I have come up with a clever plan that will not alert the enemy but will also allow us to infiltrate the Fang family and gather information."
"Tell me about it." Guan Jianshan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a gleam of light in his eyes.
"That is to find a woman and take the opportunity to get close to the Fang family. Women are weak and can lower their defenses."
Guan Jianshan leaned back on the chair, his eyes moved away from Qian Wentao, staring into the air thoughtfully, his left thumb and index finger groping for the handle of the chair. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
Qian Wentao bowed his head, clasped his hands and replied respectfully: "It's up to Brother Shan to tell you."
Guan Jianshan raised the corner of his mouth, and raised his hand that was groping for the handle of the chair slightly, "Let your sister go."
As he said this, he stared at Qian Wentao intently.
After hearing this, Qian Wentao did not react and just responded as usual.
"Go."
After everyone left the room, Guan Jianshan's mouth dropped and his face became expressionless.
A moment later, Zhao Gen hurried into the room, "Brother Shan, Qian Wentao said that you asked Qian Yurou to get close to the Fang family, so you let his sister go? Could it be that the brother and sister are plotting something?"
"The daughter of the Fang family is about the same age as Qian Yurou, so it's easy for her to win the sympathy of the Fang family. Besides, the people she cares about are in the village. Even if there's a way to escape in front of her, she won't run away."
Zhao Gen suddenly realized something from what he said, and his eyes rolled around twice, "Just in case, I will secretly arrange a few people to keep an eye on the Fang family."
Guan Jianshan nodded.
Zhao Gen opened his mouth, and after some hesitation, he decided to speak out, "Brother Shan, I still think Qian Wentao has bad intentions. Just imagine who can easily hand over his own sister to the murderer of his father."
"A loach can crawl in moist muddy water. There is a large area of hard stone ground around us. If it is obedient, we can give it some water to keep it. Otherwise, there are many ways to kill it. How can we let it escape?" Guan Jianshan said lightly.
at the same time.
In Qian Yurou's room.
"Sister, the Fang family is in the same group as the Li family. They are all bad people. Now we need your help. Lurk inside the Fang family. Just get information about our money and food, and we will stay away. We can leave some money and food to help the refugees."
Qian Yurou, who was originally resistant, was shaken after hearing this, "Are you serious?"
Qian Wentao didn't even think about it, "Really, we'll go wherever you want to go then."
"Then we'll take Xiaomei and the others back to live in the mountains behind our old home. It's quieter and less crowded there, and then we'll bring Dad's remains back to bury him with Mom!"
Speaking of this, Qian Yurou's bloodshot eyes glowed with vitality.
"Okay, sister, I'll listen to you!" Qian Wentao responded, but in his heart he was thinking about waiting for money and food to be found, arresting Xia Qingyue and others, and then gathering refugees and killing the bandits in Guan Jianshan.
Everything was developing according to plan, and Qian Wentao showed a triumphant smile on his face.
Qian Yurou's eyes were filled with tears, and she smiled a smile that was full of happiness and anticipation from the bottom of her heart for the first time in a long time.
Three days later.
Fang Xiaoyu and her family went out to the mountains to look for food. As they were walking, they met a thin woman lying in the grass, wearing tattered clothes.
Fang Xiaoyu and her mother helped the man up together.
Fang's mother was surprised and asked, "Oh, this girl looks about the same age as Xiaoyu, how come she fainted here alone?"
Father Fang looked around warily, "I wonder if there is anyone she knows around here."
The fainted woman's face was pale, and her lips were white and dry. Fang Xiaoyu felt sympathy for her, "Dad, Mom, let's hide in the dark. Maybe her relatives will come looking for us."
The family of three hid nearby. After more than two hours, no one came to find them. After discussion, the three members of the Fang family decided to take the people back.
