Chapter 643 -643: There’s a Thief

The Shu family’s men originally numbered about ten. Besides the Head Master who had already been beheaded, among the remaining elders, there was only Second Master; all the others were legitimate and bastard sons from the first and second wives.

However, the treatment they received on the road was dreadful. With Shu Yu present among the womenfolk, the leading officer kept a tight rein, so no beatings or punishments occurred.

And yet, even so, they still lost five on the way.

The men’s side, on the other hand, lost six along the journey, not a single one of the younger ones remained.

Now only Second Master was left, along with the Eldest Young Master Shu Feng, and Second Young Master Shu Quan, one a legitimate son from the first wife, the other a legitimate son from the second wife, and then there were Sanzhu, the fifth, and the sixth, all bastards.

Six people, with the youngest, the sixth, also fourteen years old.

Now all six were nothing but skin and bones, looking utterly listless.

Arriving in the exile area and not having a single bite to eat, they seemed even more dispirited.

It was Shu Feng who said, “Grandmother and Mother have already arrived earlier; they must have saved a little food. Let’s go in and see.”

Hearing this, everyone’s spirits lifted.

That’s right, their wives, daughters, and sisters had already come, and everything that needed to be tidied had long been taken care of. They had come so much earlier; surely, they must have secured some food?

Thinking this, Second Master stepped forward first, holding the keys the old woman guide had given him, and he opened the courtyard gate, leading everyone else inside.

At first glance, one could only see a desolate courtyard, empty, with hardly anything in it.

Second Master frowned. Why was this courtyard so small?

Seeing this, the others felt an even stronger sense of foreboding and stood motionless in the courtyard for a long while.

The commotion outside quickly reached Mrs. Xue resting in the firewood room.

She suddenly jolted, her complexion turning ashen. At this critical moment, the other people of the Shu family had gone to work, and the courtyard had been locked up; now suddenly, there was so much noise outside—had someone broken in?

Mrs. Xue had already been resting for two days because of her injury and was sent by the Shu family to work in the wasteland.

But since yesterday, the hand she had broken had suddenly begun hurting terribly; she couldn’t even think of working in the fields, and even staying still made her break out in a cold sweat, so today she could only continue to rest at home.

She had just begun to feel a little better when, to her dismay, thieves seemed to have struck her home.

Mrs. Xue dared not go out. A weak woman, powerless as a feeble chicken and still injured at that, could tell from the noises that there were several men outside; stepping out would surely leave her at a disadvantage.

Besides, all her belongings were in the firewood room; surely they would not stoop to steal from the firewood room.

So Mrs. Xue quietly shrank her head back and didn’t move an inch.

Nevertheless, the voices outside still reached her ears—”There’s no one at home; that old woman said, they’re all in the wasteland.”

Mrs. Xue was startled; that voice, it sounded like… Second Master?

As if she had realized something, her eyes suddenly lit up.

That’s it, it must be Second Master and the others who had arrived. Thinking about the timing, it was indeed about this period.

Thinking this, Mrs. Xue hurried to her feet. In her agitation, she hit her arm against the wall, and the pain made her scream out loud.

The male members of the Shu family outside inspecting the house heard her and instantly became alert.

Shu Feng’s expression changed slightly, “There’s someone in the house, in the firewood room.”

“Be careful, everyone; there could be thieves that have broken in.”

The Shu family members immediately picked up wooden sticks and any suitable items nearby, cautiously approaching the firewood room step by step.
