Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 115 Intestinal Grass

Time flies like an arrow; in less than three days...

The Xiongnu had already retreated completely, as if they had never been there.

However, the wounds left by the war are deeply imprinted on this land.

Five days later, when Su Yue and Dali embarked on their journey back to Ping'an Town, what they saw left them speechless.

The once familiar town is now unrecognizable, a desolate and bleak place.

When they finally arrived at Sujia Village, they were stunned by the scene before them.

The once peaceful and tranquil village is now dilapidated, with ruins and devastation everywhere.

In particular, the house of Uncle Su's family had already collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins during the destruction by the Xiongnu.

Looking around, there wasn't a single spot in the entire village intact; even the old willow tree at the village entrance, which had witnessed the vicissitudes of time, was not spared.

The tree was burned to a crisp, blackened stump, which stood there all alone.

With a heavy heart, Su Yue, relying on the remaining memories of the original owner of the body, slowly walked towards the graves of her father and grandmother.

But when she actually saw that scene, the anger in her heart was instantly ignited to its extreme.

I almost couldn't help but blurt out a string of vulgar curses.

Those utterly depraved and immoral beasts didn't even spare the resting place of the deceased, ruthlessly digging up the graves!

"Damn it!" Su Yue gritted her teeth, suppressing the surging anger in her heart.

Together with Dali, they quietly tidied up the destroyed graves.

Then, she instructed Dali to go to the town and wait for her return, while she resolutely crossed the river that separated the two countries and headed straight for the territory occupied by the Xiongnu.

After traveling at a brisk pace, Su Yue finally stepped into the territory of the Xiongnu people.

It was only then that she was surprised to discover that the Xiongnu people did not live in a unified community, but were scattered across this vast grassland in the form of various tribes.

Each tribe has its own unique customs and organizational structure, and while they are connected to each other, they are also relatively independent.

But what does it matter to her? She felt that she was always just a spectator here.

Even if the people of two dynasties fought to the point of utter chaos, she wouldn't care.

But with wars raging everywhere, he had no peace and quiet, and all he wanted was for these Xiongnu people to retreat to their original place.

But who would have thought that these beasts would even desecrate graves?

If they actually lived well in the cities they seized, then so be it.

Those beasts deserve to live here.

Before I came here, I really thought this place was a godforsaken place.

Who would believe that this place is actually rich in water and grass, making it ideal for raising livestock like cattle and sheep?

It seems even wealthier than Da'an Kingdom. It's true what they say, greed knows no bounds; they're always thinking about what belongs to others.

Su Yue rode a fine horse and arrived at the first tribe as swiftly as the wind.

She firmly reined in her horse, sitting upright on its back, not rushing to make a move, but calmly observing the tribe's every move.

A moment later, she turned her horse around without hesitation and galloped toward the Xiongnu king's tribe.

Along the way, Su Yue encountered more than twenty tribes of varying sizes.

These tribes vary significantly in size, with some having populations of tens of thousands.

Some are relatively small, with only eight or nine thousand members.

However, regardless of the size of the tribe she faced, Su Yue always maintained a high degree of vigilance and restraint, forcibly suppressing the raging anger in her heart.

Finally, after several days of travel, Su Yue arrived at the tribe where the Xiongnu king lived.

Although she was already furious, reason told her that she must not act rashly.

So she quietly entered her personal space and waited for night to fall.

Time passed second by second, and the sky gradually darkened until it was completely shrouded in darkness.

Then, Su Yue patiently endured the first half of the night, until the second half, when most people finally fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, apart from the patrolling Hun soldiers who were still on duty, the entire tribe was immersed in a peaceful dream.

Once she determined the time was right, Su Yue carefully slipped out of the space.

She had already changed into a black night outfit, blending perfectly into the darkness.

Based on her careful observation of the terrain during the day, Su Yue knew that the westernmost part was where the granary was located, while the southernmost part was where the livestock were kept.

She crouched low, like a nimble black cat, skillfully avoiding the patrolling Hun soldiers, and slowly approached the granary.

With only fifty meters left to the granary, Su Yue suddenly realized that there was nothing left to cover her.

It is likely that the Xiongnu deliberately cleared out this fifty-meter area to prevent anyone from setting fire to and destroying the granary.

But this was no longer a problem for her. Now her mental power had exceeded fifty meters, and she could store anything that her mental power covered into her space if she wanted.

It just takes more mental effort than usual, but Su Yue doesn't care about that right now.

When she was only fifty meters away from the granary, she found a secluded spot, squatted down, and then used her spiritual power to collect all the grain from the more than twenty granaries.

There was one left that was a bit too far away to take, and Su Yue's mental energy was also somewhat depleted, leaving her feeling dizzy.

But she dared not fall down. She slipped into the space, came to the mouth of the spirit spring well, scooped up a bowl of spirit spring water, drank it to recover for a while, and then supported herself to leave the space.

We must take away all the grain and livestock, including cattle, sheep, and horses, tonight. Otherwise, they'll have no chance if they discover the grain has been stolen tomorrow.

Su Yue moved through the darkness with the grace of a ghost, each step taken with utmost care, afraid of making the slightest sound and attracting the attention of the patrolling personnel.

Finally, she successfully avoided those wary gazes and arrived at the breeding area.

Because of the close proximity, Su Yue was able to clearly see the animals that were fast asleep.

A sly smile crept across her lips as she swiftly unleashed her mental power, instantly capturing the unsuspecting animals without leaving a single one behind.

After completing her mission, Su Yue did not rush to leave, but instead quietly sneaked back to the vicinity of the Xiongnu King's tent.

At this moment, she used the last bit of her mental energy to control a plant called "Intestine Grass" in the space.

This intestinal herb is extremely rare and highly poisonous. If its juice is ingested, the poisoned person will suffer from abdominal cramps for seven days and eventually die in agony.

Although Su Yue is not yet able to refine the pills recorded in the books in her space, she is already very familiar with the properties and effects of various herbs.

Fortunately, this deadly intestinal herb happened to be in her space.

This made Su Yue exclaim: Reading more books really does have its benefits!
