Chapter 256: Would you dare to answer if I called you?

Besides, Qin Yao had just asked the timber merchant Fang about the village's acceptance situation two days ago.

Since Carpenter Liu and his men are still receiving wood as normal, it means everything is normal in the village.

Besides, whenever the bandits came to their Liujia Village, they would be beaten away. Now, who in the entire Jinshi Town doesn’t know that the people in Liujia Village are the most stubborn and have the strongest fists?

Liu Ji immediately patted his chest in relief and said, "That makes sense. They only pick on the weak, so it's impossible for our village to get the upper hand."

Looking at the Ding family carriage running fast in front, Liu Ji said jokingly: "No one should be stupid enough to be kind to these refugees with evil intentions now."

So in a second, they encountered such an idiot.

The Ding family's carriage braked suddenly, and the guards quickly turned around on their horses, "Madam Qin, there are a lot of refugees ahead, the young master wants to ask if we should turn around and avoid them first?!"

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, signaled Liu Ji to stop the carriage, and asked in confusion: "How many refugees are there?"

There was a bend just ahead, and a hillside blocked the view. Qin Yao's family was at the end and could not see what was ahead.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west and the sky was about to get dark. They were thinking about finding a place to set up camp.

We have been delayed by refugees along the way today and have missed the opportunity to enter the town.

However, when Qin Yao came here, she had memorized all the Taoist temples and pavilions on the road. Not far ahead, after walking another four miles, she would see a Taoist temple with a courtyard wall for shelter, which was better than being open to the sky.

The guard replied hastily, "I don't know. There were so many people there that I didn't have time to count them. I was afraid they would find us, so I hurried back!"

The guards looked panicked, which showed that the number of people was so large that the two of them and a driver were not enough to handle it.

Da Zhuang and Liu Li also looked over. Qin Yao had a child in her car, so they naturally wouldn't take any risks.

"Wait a minute, I'll go up the hill to take a look, don't move yet." Qin Yao instructed while asking the guard to dismount, and the two of them went up the hill together.

The guard went back to inform Ding Shi first, then hurriedly dismounted to chase Qin Yao.

The two climbed to the top of the hill and saw a large piece of farmland in front of them. There was also a large village around it. The terrain was very wide.

The official road is right in the middle of the farmland, with no obstructions on all sides, so the situation below can be seen very clearly.

The Ding family guards were not exaggerating. The place was indeed packed with people, about two to three hundred people gathered on the official road, trying desperately to squeeze towards the luxurious carriage in the middle.

A dozen people dressed as guards rode on horses to protect the two carriages in the middle. Scattered grain bags and exquisite food boxes were on the ground.

Unfortunately, the lid of the food box had disappeared, and the delicious food in the box was also missing.

As soon as the refugees saw the food bags on the ground, they rushed forward to grab them.

The guards drew their weapons to stop them, but it was useless. They were willing to risk their lives and all they could see were the grain bags.

Especially when a corner of the grain bag was exposed, the snow-white rice inside was revealed in front of the eyes. The refugees who had been hungry for a long time could not think too much, and their minds and eyes were filled with only eating!

The people outside had no idea what was going on inside and thought there was a lot of food. They rushed forward regardless of the cries for help and the sounds of people inside being trampled to stop them.

The guards and the carriage were trapped in the center of the refugees, with knives in their hands, not knowing whether to kill or not kill, they were in a dilemma.

But even if they were so tolerant, they couldn't find a way out.

The only way to escape this terrible encirclement was to abandon the carriage and all the luggage and belongings.

"Tsk~" Qin Yao shook her head, feeling like she was back in the end of the world.

Because the scene at the foot of the mountain was almost exactly the same as the scene when zombies besieged humans.

Fortunately, the refugees were attracted by the luxurious carriage and did not notice them behind them.

Qin Yao looked down at the farms and fields at the foot of the mountain and found that there was a small path on the right that could bypass the refugees on the official road and enter the village.

"Go that way and go around quietly." Qin Yao pointed to the path leading to the village on the right and said to the Ding family guards behind him.

The guards had seen how powerful these refugees were before. They were not as thin and helpless as they had imagined. Each of them was a starving wolves!

When he heard Qin Yao's idea, he immediately agreed.

As for the group of people who were trapped, they can only wish them good luck.

The two men hurried down the mountain and informed their companions of the situation. Everyone had no objection, and they drove slowly but quietly onto the path on the right.

This road should have been filled by farmers specifically for pushing carts, and a small horse-drawn carriage can just fit on it.

Generally speaking, in this situation, it depends on the driver's skills.

If the wheel falls off the curb accidentally, that would be bad.

Liu Ji relied on his own horse's obedience and intelligence, and looked proudly at the wheels of Liu Li's carriage in front of him, which kept jumping sideways on the edge of falling off the edge, and he laughed out loud.

As a result, the joy turned into sorrow. Even an old horse can stumble. The man didn't fall off, but his carriage suddenly "squeaked" and tilted.

In a flash, Qin Yao stretched out her hand like lightning and lifted the bottom of the carriage, and the carriage fell back onto the road.

Old Huang himself cried out with lingering fear. Liu Ji in the car turned pale and almost cried out "wife, help me".

As a result, the crisis was resolved before he even opened his mouth. He quickly smiled at Qin Yao guiltily and dared not be distracted anymore.

Qin Yao glared at him. She knew that this guy would definitely cause her trouble by doing something unexpected, so after getting on the path, she walked beside the carriage just in case.

As a result, it is still difficult to guard against!

The driver from the Ding family was an old hand and walked steadily along the path through the fields.

Da Zhuang and Liu Li drove slowly but safely.

Finally, Qin Yao's family arrived safely. The three families did not stop and quickly crossed the village, wanting to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Who would have thought that a loud and excited childish voice suddenly rang out from the official road: "Liu Ji! Liu Ji from Liujia Village, Kaiyang County!"

This sudden shout, calling out the name, startled Liu Jihun.

"Who is it?" He glanced at Qin Yao subconsciously, and then the couple looked towards the source of the sound in confusion, and found a half-recognizable figure appearing on the shaft of the trapped carriage.

Qi Xianguan was shouting at them: "Liu Ji! Liu Ji!"

Liu Ji thought, what, can calling my name help you escape from suffering?

"Qi Xianguan?" Qin Yao showed an expression of disbelief and glanced at Liu Ji. "Are you two familiar with each other?"

Liu Ji shook his head quickly. Not familiar at all!

so.

"Let's go quickly. Don't worry about it. They have so many guards. As long as they can leave the carriage behind, they will definitely be able to escape."

Qin Yao nodded. The couple still had a tacit understanding at the critical moment.

But having said that, there seemed to be something on the other carriage that made Qi Xianguan worried, so he was unable to order the guards to abandon the carriage and escape with him.
