The Blessed Farm Girl Has a Spatial Storage

The two little sisters held hands.

Wei Shulan said with a smile, "I just got here, and I heard you talking about collecting evidence that Landlord Qin is a bad guy. We're good friends, and friends should help each other, so I can't possibly be left behind."

At this time, Zhao Yue walked over with a luggage box on his back and a Foxtail Grass dangling from his mouth in a casual manner. He saw Zhao Zhitong and two others standing at the school gate, holding hands and seemingly deep in conversation, so he went over and asked, "What are you guys doing? Why aren't you going into school?"

Then, Wei Shulan told Zhao Yue about their plan to collect evidence of Landlord Qin doing bad things.

How could Zhao Yue, who loved excitement, miss out on such a meaningful and fun activity? He immediately expressed his excitement and his desire to join the evidence-collecting army.

The kids talked about it for a while, and then Zhao Yue asked, "Hey, Zhao Zhitong, how are we going to collect the evidence?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Zhitong replied, "Well, let's go to the county town. Landlord Qin's house is in the county town, and there must be a lot of evidence of his crimes there."

Upon hearing about the county town, Zhao Yue hesitated and exclaimed in surprise, "We're going to the county town? Just the few of us kids? Zhao Village is so far from the county town."

Zhao Zhitong excitedly blinked her eyes and nodded, "Yes, there must be many people who have been bullied by Landlord Qin in the county town. We can find them, record their testimonies, and all that will become our evidence!" At that moment, Zhao Zhitong felt so clever for coming up with such a brilliant idea.

After hearing Zhao Zhitong's thoughts, the children exchanged glances. Zhao Yue hesitated for a moment and asked, "But the county town is really far away, and we don't know the way. What should we do?"

Upon hearing his concern, Zhao Zhitong immediately replied, "You don't need to worry. I know the way. I've been to the county town many, many times. I remember the road."

Qiao Muchen also nodded, "I've been there twice with my mother."

However, Zhao Yue had his own ideas. He didn't really approve of going to the county town, so he suggested, "The county town is so far away. I think we can start by looking around the nearby villages. With Landlord Qin being so bad, there must be many farmers' fields taken over by him!"

At this point, Wei Shulan started doubting him. "I say, Zhao Yue, are you afraid? Are you too scared to go to the county town?"

When Wei Shulan questioned him, Zhao Yue's face turned red. He felt somewhat guilty but still stubbornly retorted, "Afraid? Hmph, I, Zhao Yue, am not afraid. I'm not scared at all."

Emphasizing that he was not afraid multiple times was actually a sign of guilt, but the other three kids didn't notice.

Qiao Muchen nodded in satisfaction, "As long as you're not afraid, that's good. Let's go together tomorrow during our day off!" Saying this, he glanced excitedly at the others. They were about to catch bad people like the judges in their books!

However, Zhao Yue was indeed a little scared, but he didn't dare show it for fear of being laughed at by Zhao Zhitong, Qiao Muchen, and Wei Shulan. So, pouting and thinking for a moment, he said gloomily, "But it's very dangerous for just the four of us kids to go so far. What if we meet bad people on the way? What if we encounter tigers or wild beasts? I've heard my father say there are many bad people out there who kidnap and sell people!"

What he said was true. Just five years ago in the winter, someone from their village went to the county town at night for business and never came back. Many people in the village said he was either sold or killed by bandits, or even taken away by a tiger in the mountains. In any case, there were many speculations, but this incident truly alarmed several surrounding villages, leaving the people in a state of fear.

After this, villagers traveling to the county town for business at night would always arrange to go with others in advance. But no one ever went missing again after this incident, and over time, people gradually relaxed their vigilance. However, to prevent the children from running around and getting lost, the adults in the family would use this incident as a warning. Zhao Yue was very scared of it.

Zhao Zhitong had also heard of this incident and thought that Zhao Yue made a good point. Safety was crucial. Tapping her small chin, she thought for a moment and then declared, "I've got an idea! I'll ask Xiao Ge, my elder brother, to go with us. He has been learning martial arts with Mr. Meng and is very strong now. He will definitely be able to protect us!"

Qiao Muchen and Wei Shulan, who had always wanted to go, nodded in agreement.

Qiao Muchen added, "I'll bring Xiao Shitou. He's really strong."

Wei Shulan also chimed in, "I'll bring San. He's my most capable servant. He can protect us too."

With that, Zhao Yue felt reassured and agreed to the plan. And so, the matter was settled.

Because they were going to confront the bad guys tomorrow, Zhao Zhitong was extremely excited. She took out some candy from her luggage box and shared it with her good friends to boost morale. They also agreed not to tell the adults at home. If the adults found out, they wouldn't be able to go.

Zhao Zhitong wasn't worried about anything except Zhao Yue changing his mind, so she said to him, "I've given you candy, so you can't betray us. Otherwise, you'll be like a little dog."

Zhao Yue, who was enjoying the sweet candy, immediately patted his chest and confidently said, "Don't worry, I, Zhao Yue, am not the kind of person who would betray friends. I'll definitely keep my mouth shut."

The kids all felt assured, so they held hands and happily skipped towards the school.

Scholar Meng, who was standing at the entrance of the school, noticed that Zhao Zhitong was late today. In the past, she would have already served him tea and be sitting in the classroom, swaying her head as she read aloud from her books. But at that moment, there was no sign of her in the classroom, and the other three kids were also nowhere to be found. Thinking about what he had heard about the Zhao Family from his son last night, worry appeared on his face. He wondered if the little girl had been affected.

Just as he was worried, the four little radishes came running over, hand in hand. Seeing the Teacher waiting at the door from a distance, Zhao Zhitong immediately put on a big smile and ran over, appearing unaffected.

Seeing the little girl in high spirits, Scholar Meng felt relieved and quickly urged them to enter the classroom and study.

Since tomorrow was the school's day off, and these breaks were fixed, some children kept track and knew exactly when they would occur. Consequently, the mood in the classroom today was noticeably higher than in previous days. The children chattered and laughed, all planning where they would go to play during their break tomorrow. Some planned to catch fish, while others invited friends to pick wild fruits in the mountains. In any case, the air was filled with laughter and cheerfulness.

By the last class in the afternoon, this restless excitement was even more palpable. Many children could barely sit still, fidgeting and constantly looking around, wondering why this final lesson was taking so long to end.

At that time, only Zhao Zhitong and Qiao Muchen managed to remain composed. The two little ones still sat perfectly upright with their hands behind their backs, their voices even louder than each other's as they read aloud.
