Chapter 25: Dad, something happened

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As an adult who had been transmigrated into a child body, she naturally refuse to be treated as a lucky charm by her family.

However, for the sake of the red packets, Yuan Bao was able to close one eye.

Having been in this world for more than eight months, Yuan Bao had already gained a rather one-sided and deep understanding of this world through the conversations between his mother, grandmother, and many other relatives.

Why was it one-sided?

Other than her grandfather, Old Yuan, who had gone to more places by boat, the rest had only traveled to the county.

Although her grandfather had a lot of experience in his early years, he would not tell Yuan Bao about these things for no reason. Even if he wanted to say it, he would have to wait until Yuan Bao was a little older and could understand the story.

Now, Yuan Bao knew that this country was called Great Yin and had been at war with the Bei Li imperial court in the north. They were hiding in the mountains because the Bei Li had attacked, and there was a rebellion in the Jiangnan area of Great Yin.

Fortunately, the imperial court of Great Yin still had some tricks up its sleeves.

The Bei Li imperial court was defeated, the rebellion in Jiangnan was quelled, and the world regained its peace.

The Yuan family didn’t return to Lin He village because the snow had sealed off the mountain, making it difficult to travel.

It wouldn’t be a big problem if the people returned to the village. But they had to bring many things back to Lin He village.

Apart from the difficulty of the road, the people from the Yuan family were still a little unsettled.

Although the Jiangnan rebellion had already been quelled, there was still no conclusion regarding the matter of the navy pretending to be pirates.

If there was no conclusion, it meant there were doubts about closing the case. No one knew the imperial court’s attitude towards this matter.

“Father, something has happened!”

On the evening of new year’s eve, Yuan Pan Di, who his father had sent to scout for information outside the mountains, rushed back with a very unfortunate piece of news.

Lin He village had been massacred! The people who returned to the village died on the eve of the new year.

Lin He village was also burned into ruins.

“It’s a sin!”

After knowing what had happened in Lin He village, Old Yuan burst into tears.

From his point of view, the reason why the villagers of the riverside village had suffered such a calamity was because of Yuan Zhao Di.

“Father, it’s not just our Lin He village in trouble. Many other villages around Qingyuan river are in trouble as well!” Yuan Pan Di continued as he gasped for breath.

After hearing his eldest son’s words, Old Yuan was so angry that he almost slapped him, “Can’t you just say it clearly in one go?”

Old Yuan glared at his eldest son with his hands trembling. He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and did not beat his son up during the new year.

“I’m just too tired,” Yuan Pan Di did not think he had done anything wrong. After all, he had not finished speaking when his father cut his words.

“Alright, you shut up!” Old Yuan glared at his eldest son in disdain and turned to his youngest son, “Little five, tell me, what’s the situation now?”

In Old Yuan’s eyes, it was not a good sign that the rebellion had been quelled, but the village massacre had occurred.

Their families would have been destroyed if they hadn’t secured their footing.

“Father, I’m thinking we can’t stay in this village anymore!” Yuan Yin Di sighed, his expression indescribably solemn.

After hearing his youngest son’s words, Old Yuan’s expression turned grave. “We really can’t stay here anymore?”
