Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 25 Chaos in the City

Su Yue could have returned to the village with Su Dabao and Su Erbao and fled together.

However, she has also thought a lot during the time she has spent in the space these past few days. Since she got the space, it has changed twice. She seems to have guessed some of it, but she still needs to verify it.

Under cover of darkness, Su Yue returned to the county government office and set it on fire.

Flames soared into the sky, and the first refugees still stranded in the town began to gather at the county government office to watch the spectacle.

The commotion outside woke up many of the town's residents, who assumed that the refugees were looting again and kept their doors tightly shut.

Su Yue observed from the side and found that there were only some refugees, and many ordinary people did not come out.

Su Yue blended into the crowd of refugees and began to say in a strange voice, "Oh dear! The fire is so big, why is no one coming to put it out? The county government office is on fire, why hasn't the magistrate come out yet?"

Someone in the crowd heard this and chimed in, "That's right, why hasn't the magistrate sent anyone out to put out the fire yet? If it keeps burning like this, it'll spread to the back."

"Yes, yes, why didn't the county magistrate send anyone out to put out the fire!"

Su Yue continued, "I'm afraid there's no one left in the county government office! We saw many horse-drawn carriages and carts loaded with grain leaving the town this evening. I wonder if the county magistrate has returned yet."

"Yes, I saw it too. I didn't see the carriage return all the way to the town gate."

"We saw it too. I wonder what the magistrate will do when he returns and sees the county government office burned down!"

Su Yue continued, "The magistrate is taking so much stuff out of town, is he going to run away? I heard the Xiongnu are going to attack, but I thought it was just a rumor. Do you think it's true that the magistrate is leaving at this time? No, if the magistrate runs away, I should hurry back and pack my things and leave tonight."

When someone in the crowd heard someone say that the Xiongnu were coming, chaos instantly erupted.

Su Yue added fuel to the fire, shouting into the crowd, "Everyone, run! The Huns are attacking tonight! The magistrate has already fled with his family! Run! The Huns are attacking..."

The displaced people and townspeople who heard this ran as if they were being chased by dogs.

The refugees, who had little to no possessions, clutched their bundles and began to run toward the town gate.

The townspeople were reluctant to part with their belongings and hurriedly packed up, trying to take as much as they could with them.

Some people didn't believe it and went back to bed to sleep, ignoring the noise outside.

Soon the town was in chaos, and some people even took advantage of the confusion to break into shops and loot.

The Huns, now a mixed group of refugees, abandoned all pretense and began indiscriminately killing people in the streets.

Su Yue took out a curved sword directly from her spatial storage and charged at the Huns who were slashing wildly at the refugees from behind, killing them with a series of sharp, clean cuts.

After dealing with the two closest Xiongnu, Su Yue told the others to run towards the north gate, as there were Xiongnu at the south gate.

The rescued refugees thanked Su Yue profusely, then got up and ran towards the north gate, shouting as they ran, "Run to the north gate! There are Huns at the south gate! The Huns have already broken in! Everyone, run!"

Su Yue was afraid that some people who were far away would not be able to hear her, so she rode her horse and started banging on an iron pot.

While banging on the door, they shouted, "The Huns are invading! Everyone, escape through the north gate!"

After running around the entire town, Su Yue arrived at the South Gate and found it wide open, guarded only by a few Xiongnu people.

She couldn't win a direct confrontation, but if the south gate wasn't closed, all her efforts would be in vain once the Xiongnu army arrived. She had to close the gate no matter what.

Su Yue slowly made her way over; if she couldn't win, she would enter the space.

After taking down the nearest Hunnic and seizing his machete, Su Yue continued to probe forward.

They quickly took down two of them and were about to approach the next Hun when Su Yue was discovered.

"Someone killed her."

Several Huns rushed over at once.

Su Yue flashed directly into the space and used her mental power to look at the Huns outside. They looked at the place where Su Yue had been standing with a blank expression.

"The person."

"How could someone just disappear?"

"Looking for them is definitely a smokescreen."

Su Yue and the others went to the place where they had disappeared, and then used their mental power to throw out several large stones, which directly smashed the heads of these Huns, causing them to fall to the ground bleeding profusely.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Yue came out and slit the throats of several people.

He picked up the machete from the ground and put it into his spatial storage, then prepared to close the door.

Su Yue finally closed the door, and felt half relieved.

She has no choice but to leave now; there are still Xiongnu people in the town, and she must stay here until dawn before leaving.

Su Yue entered the space directly and used her mental power to observe the outside. During this time, several Huns came, but Su Yue killed them all instantly using the same method.

Su Yue didn't dare to rest in the space that night, keeping her eyes fixed on the door.

The night passed quickly, and soon it was time for Magistrate Zhu to meet with the Xiongnu.

Just as Su Yue's mental strength was about to give out, there was a knock on the town's gate.

They babbled a long string of words that Su Yue couldn't understand. She used the last bit of her mental energy to probe out and found that they really were Huns.

The Xiongnu outside stretched as far as the eye could see; they had come after all.

Su Yue withdrew her mental energy and stopped paying attention to the Huns outside.

He emerged from the space with a horse and rode towards the North Gate.

Along the way, we still saw many corpses, blood was flowing everywhere on the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Several houses were also on fire, and the scene was so bad it made people want to vomit.

Most of the townspeople had already fled, and if the rest wanted to die, Su Yue wouldn't stop them.

She did everything she was supposed to do.

Su Yue turned her head away, unable to bear looking any longer, and rode her horse towards Su Family Village, not knowing if everyone in the village had left yet.

Once outside the town, looking back, the entire town of Ping'an reeked of blood. When the Xiongnu entered, it would become a true hell on earth.

Su Yue is alone, and there's only so much she can do.

On the way back to the village, there were very few refugees on the road, and we only encountered two or three people at the village entrance.

Upon reaching the village entrance, Su Yue stored the horse in her spatial storage and walked back to the Su family home. The village was quiet, with none of the usual noise.

Pushing open the Su family's door, they found that almost everything usable had been packed away.

Su Yue also planned to leave, but she didn't want to go to Su Ershu's family. She had her own space, and taking them with her would only be a burden.

If she were to travel with the villagers, she would have to consider others' needs and what she wanted to eat along the way. Su Yue felt she couldn't do that.

If I encounter Uncle Su's family on the road in the future, I will keep them to serve me; if I don't, then they are just unlucky.

Actually, Su Yue thought that since she had her own space, she didn't need to flee the famine. She could have Huang Mao take her to hide in the mountains.

However, people can't always stay in a place where they are alone; after a while, it will become meaningless.

So it's better to go out and travel more. When you get tired of traveling, you can find a beautiful place to live. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
