Chapter 204 - Pitch-BlackChapter 204: Pitch-Black
However, just because no children were disturbing them did not mean it would be a peaceful night.
A series of light footsteps from under the treehouse was heard, accompanied by the hushed voices of several men. The three people in the treehouse, except Qian Yiyun, woke up at the same time.
An Jiuyue raised her hand and pressed her thumb and middle finger against her temple. She took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.
It seems like people are finally targeting me.
There was not much food left in the village. She knew this. She had heard about it from the women she met on the mountain daily.
However, she thought that no one in the village would scheme against her.

I really didn’t expect such a fearless person to exist!
She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and opened the door. Qian Jiyun and Yan Nuo also opened the door. They were stunned when they saw her.
They did not expect her to be woken up. After all, the men downstairs were very careful and quiet.
“Shall we go down and take a look together?” An Jiuyue suggested before Qian Jiyun could speak.
...
There seems to be quite a commotion downstairs. Are they here to make things fun for me because they think I’m bored at home?
“Let’s go.” Qian Jiyun only said two words before leading the way.
However, they did not take the stairs. Instead, they flew down from the window and landed steadily on the ground.
Of course, An Jiuyue could not do that. However, she had Qian Jiyun by her side. Since he was capable of it, she could come and go like the wind. He held her waist and brought her to the ground casually.
The night was dark—almost pitch-black.
The three of them landed behind the sneaky men. The men did not see their arrival and were still arguing in hushed voices about moving all the grains in An Jiuyue’s house without waking her.
One of the men became impatient and suggested, “In my opinion, there’s nothing much to argue about. We can just go up and knock her out.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWe only want food. We won’t do anything to An Jiuyue. That’s good enough. If it were someone else, An Jiuyue would be harmed.
“Yes, just knock her out and take the food away. There’s no need for so much trouble,” another man chimed in.
However, he felt bad and added, “But we can’t take all the food away. It’s not easy for a widow with so many orphans. We have to leave some for them.”
“Yes, yes, let’s do that.”
The other men agreed and felt their plan was quite good.
They did not intend to force An Jiuyue into a corner—it was just that they did not have anything to eat or drink at home.
They could not possibly empty her food supply either. How would An Jiuyue and her children survive? They were not that vicious.
Upon hearing that, the man who had been silent was unhappy.
“What do you mean?”
Is it easy for us to come up here? Yet, we can’t even take all the food? How much food does An Jiuyue have? It won’t even be enough for our families to share. Why should we leave some for her?
We shouldn’t leave a single grain of rice for An Jiuyue! We need the food for survival!
