After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

Chapter 319 Shrinking Talisman

General Kobayashi left the small building and came to the prisoner area. He had several of the prisoners woken up and asked the previous questions again. When the prisoners woke up, they did not see Lin Chuyi and the other two, but saw so many officers and soldiers. They were stunned at first, but soon realized that the officer was asking them questions and hurriedly answered them.

The captives were much more cooperative than the bandits. In response to General Kobayashi's questions, they answered as detailed as possible and told him everything they knew.

General Kobayashi learned a lot of information from them, including but not limited to the specific location of the treasure house in Fufeng Village, the whole process of the bandits' capture, and their entire experience with the brother and sister.

The more he learned, the more interested General Kobayashi became in this brother and sister named Zhuxie. He felt that the two siblings were both powerful and smart, and he really wanted to meet each other. It would be even better if there was a chance for them to compete with each other. However, judging by the current situation, this idea might be difficult to realize.

General Kobayashi felt regretful, but it did not affect his efficiency at all. He ordered people to open the treasure house and warehouse of Fufeng Village, packed all the things inside and loaded them into trucks, and then ordered people to search every room, taking out all the belongings of the bandits and taking them away.

Then all the bandits present were tied together one by one with hemp ropes to prevent them from escaping, and the ropes on their feet were untied to allow them to regain their ability to move. After that, they were given antidote to wake them up.

After the bandits were awakened, the bottle of antidote was passed under the noses of the captives again, and the captives woke up one after another.

After waking up, a large number of captives were very aware of the situation and spontaneously began to help the officers and soldiers sort out supplies. If it weren't for their participation, these 600 officers and soldiers would have to escort the bandits and transport supplies, and they might not be able to transport all the things in the mountain stronghold in one go.

Under the command of Shen Nian and General Xiao Lin, the team went down the mountain in an orderly manner. After they had completely left Fufeng Village, Lin Chuyi and Ping An tore off the invisibility talismans on their bodies, revealing their figures.

After leaving the government office safely last night and making sure that no one was following him, he put away the mask on his face, knocked on the door of an inn, and rented a room inside to take a bath.

It was still dark at that time and most of the shops on the street had closed. The clothing shops were among the first to close. Even if Ping An had money in his pocket, he could not buy clothes.

The owner of the inn was a man of good manners. Seeing that Ping An was generous, he personally entertained Ping An. Knowing that Ping An wanted to change his clothes but did not bring any spare clothes, he did not ask the reason, but took the initiative to say that he had a good relationship with the owner of a nearby clothing store and could help run errands to buy a new set of clothes.

Ping'an didn't expect such a pleasant surprise and readily agreed. After he finished taking a shower and came out of the inn relaxed, he heard the sound of horse hooves and the rapid movement of a large group of people on the street with his good hearing.

He followed the source of the sound and saw a team of hundreds of people rushing towards the north gate. There were two people walking in the front of the team. One of them was a young general in armor, whom Ping An did not recognize, but he knew the other one. That person was none other than Shen Nian, the prefect of Mingzhou, whom Ping An had just gone to meet.

When Ping'an saw this scene, he knew that Shen Nian believed what he said and was leading the team to Fufeng Village. In this way, the task assigned to him by Lin Chuyi was successfully completed.

Ping An heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, then began to use his Qinggong skills to quickly return to Fufeng Village to reunite with Lin Chuyi.

As soon as he came back, Ping An saw Lin Chuyi using shrinking talismans to shrink a group of unconscious men and women to the size of thumbs, and then put them into cloth bags one by one.

He did not ask Lin Chuyi the purpose of doing so, but simply recounted his mission process and results.

After listening to Ping'an's report, Lin Chuyi just nodded slightly and continued to busy himself with his own things. Estimating that the time was almost up, Lin Chuyi took out an invisibility talisman and handed it to Ping'an, who stuck it on himself without saying a word.

Lin Chuyi also pasted one on himself. After both of them were in invisible state, Lin Chuyi took Ping An down the mountain, watched the reactions of Shen Nian and his group from close range, and then followed them back to Fufeng Village.

Lin Chuyi was mainly observing Shen Nian, wanting to hear how he planned to deal with the criminal evidence, but when he listened to Shen Nian's thoughts, he also heard General Kobayashi's thoughts.

She found this General Xiao Lin quite interesting, but her interest in him limited herself to this. To Lin Chuyi, both Shen Nian and General Xiao Lin were just passers-by in Mingzhou. Once this matter was over, she would leave Mingzhou and might not have any contact with them in the future. She just needed to make sure they would not interfere with her business. There was no need to put too much energy on them.

So no matter what decision Shen Nian and General Xiao Lin made, Lin Chuyi and Ping An just watched silently from the side, with no intention of intervening at all, allowing them to wipe out the entire Fufeng Village.

After everyone had left, they revealed their figures. In order to prevent the overly cautious General Kobayashi from making a surprise attack, Lin Chuyi and Ping'an used their Qinggong skills to walk in the opposite direction of the main force.

Soon, the two of them appeared at the foot of another mountain. Lin Chuyi used throwing stones to ask for directions. After confirming that there were no other strangers nearby except the two of them, she found an open space and released the little people she had put into the cloth bag.

He used the erasing pen rewarded by the system to tap each person's body, and the shrinking symbols on their bodies immediately disappeared. The people who had been shrunk by the shrinking symbol began to grow proportionally until they restored their original shape.

After removing the shrinking symbol, Lin Chuyi put away the elimination pen, took out a large package from the space and handed it to Ping An. Although Ping An didn't understand why, he still reached out to take the package and put it on his back.

Then, Lin Chuyi took out a new bottle of antidote, put it under everyone's nose and let them smell it. Soon everyone woke up leisurely.

When they regained consciousness and opened their eyes to see that they were in the wilderness, they were startled and didn't know where they were.

When one of them looked at Lin Chuyi, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"benefactor!"

This call brought the others back to their senses. They soon noticed Lin Chuyi standing nearby. They stood up from the ground one after another, intending to approach Lin Chuyi, but stopped about one meter away from Lin Chuyi. Led by one of them, they began to kowtow and pay their respects to Lin Chuyi.

"Thank you so much, my benefactor, for coming to the rescue!"
