After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he gave them the remaining knockout powder and said, “This will keep them asleep probably until tomorrow night, or at least until noon.”
“That’s more than enough. I’ll assign two people here to guard the place just in case, and the rest of you can go back to sleep. We still have to deal with a large number of refugees.” The village chief replied.
‘Til stay,” Qian Jiaxi and Qian Jiaxing offered simultaneously.
“Okay, but be careful. If you really can’t handle them, then…” The village chief made a throat-slitting gesture.
Although he didn’t want to take any human lives, he wouldn’t feel any pity for people like these who had committed unpardonable crimes. As long as they had a good reason, killing was acceptable.
After that, he turned around and went home.
On the other end, Gu Chengrui returned and told Zhou Ying about this group of cannibals. “The troubling times have come, and I’ll go to the manor tomorrow to inform them. We’ll try not to go out if possible.”
“Yeah.” Zhou Ying nodded, and she was feeling worried. “A person who could be on the run for so long and managed to survive isn’t going to someone kind. We really have to be careful.”
“Let’s go to sleep. We still have things to do tomorrow.” Gu Chengrui saw that she had fallen silent and knew she was frightened, so he could only go forward and hold her in his arms.
Zhou Ying hugged him back and rubbed her head against his neck. After they had calmed down, they went to bed.
However, not many families in the village could sleep soundly. Many had their eyes opened and waited until dawn.
The following day, after they had their breakfast, Zhou Ying went into her interspace and quickly made two sacks of tear-inducing powder with a blender. She then drove the carriage to the manor.
After arriving, she gathered everyone and told them what had happened in the village last night.
Gu Chengrui added, “These people are scarier than wolves, so everyone must be very, very careful.
“I hope everyone can unite and do their best to protect our village. This is also to protect our lives.”
“True that. At this point, there’s no need to care about benevolence and morality. Everyone, use whatever means you have to protect yourself.
“But don’t take the initiative to provoke them, or you’ll only bring trouble upon yourself.” Zhou Ying chimed in.
“Don’t worry, mistress. We understand. This village is the root of our survival, so we will definitely do our best to protect the village.” Chang Shun said.
The others immediately echoed his words.
And their voices were especially loud.
“Alright then. Set up traps and the like that we used to guard against the wolves. Don’t let anyone get close; kill anyone who doesn’t listen to the warning.” Gu Chengrui ordered.
“Roger that; we’ll set traps now.” Chang Shun responded and led a group of long-term workers to reactivate the wolf traps.
Sun Hongliang led the few others Manager Liu had left behind to activate the hidden trapdoors.
Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui returned to the courtyard and laid down some tear-inducing powder.
Gu Chengrui asked Zhou Ying to take out explosives and a fire signal. Then, he used a small jar to make a few tear bombs and knockout powder bombs.
Finally, he passed them to Sun Hongliang. “These things are useful but dangerous. You must keep them well and use them at a critical time.”
“I understand. I won’t use it unless I have no other choice.” Sun Hongliang wanted to say something else but stopped in the end.
Gu Chengrui paused and asked, “You want the method of making these?”
“Yes, the situation in the north is not looking good, so…”
“Do you still remember the fireworks during the Lantern Festival? It’s actually the same principle, but the insides are different.”
Sun Hongliang’s eyes lit up. “I understand. Master, you’re brilliant..”
