Facing the usually stern and unsmiling Si Cheng, everyone was still a little intimidated.

But Liu Yike, who always sees herself as a princess, doesn't think so.

"Wait, this matter hasn't been resolved yet, you can't leave."

Hou Yunhai stood directly in front of her and said, "What's the point of resolving this? As long as you stop making trouble, everything will be fine."

"Yeah! Hurry up, find a shady spot so everyone can rest sooner. Otherwise, with so many people stuck here in the sun with you, do you think that's appropriate?" Some people in the back were already getting impatient. According to the usual pattern, once a shady spot was found, the leader would usually let everyone rest.

"You don't appreciate my good intentions. I'm doing this for everyone's benefit," Liu Yike shouted to the crowd behind her, hands on her hips.

"No way, there are only two horses, and there are so many of us, we won't get a chance."

"Besides, this is someone else's private property, why should they give it up?"

"That's right, don't block the way. If you don't want to move, then get out of the way."

Everyone was already irritable from being exposed to the sun, and they were speaking rudely, with some even swearing.

Liu Yike's eyes immediately reddened. Pointing at the people behind her, she shouted to her family, "These people are bullying me! Beat them up!"

His family, without any explanation, began rolling up their sleeves, preparing to deal with the people behind them.

"What are you doing? Is this bullying the weak and fearing the strong? If you're so capable, go after the people in front. What kind of hero are you to mess with us?"

"Alright, stop stirring things up. There are so many of us, are we afraid of those few people?"

"I've disliked them for a long time. They're always nagging in the team, thinking they're something special."

As they spoke, several tall men put down their things and stepped forward, looking ready to get down to business.

The person in charge of bringing up the rear noticed that the group hadn't moved and rushed over.

"If you want to cause trouble, go to the side and don't block the line behind you." Having seen too many incidents like this in recent days, Captain Xiao started driving them away without asking any questions.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yike objected, "Is this how a leader behaves? Convicting someone without asking why, no wonder outsiders are allowed to act arrogantly here."

As he finished speaking, he gave Yun Qi and the others a meaningful look.

Captain Xiao wasn't so easily fooled. "It's your fault for delaying everyone's journey. If you have any personal grudges, go settle them over there."

"You accuse others of bullying others here, but I think you're just a troublemaker, causing trouble for everyone time and time again. How much time have you wasted these past two days?" The person who had been following behind them immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

Although the queue is not in a fixed order, these people always take advantage of their large numbers to push to the front, and every time they cause trouble, the entire queue's journey is delayed.

Yun Jianying said, "Captain Xiao, let them line up at the back from now on. That way, even if they have any complaints, we can stop and resolve the issue. Otherwise, they're really blocking the way."

Many people echoed this sentiment, saying, "Yes, let them go to the back of the line. They're always pointing fingers here. Who doesn't owe them anything?"

Liu Yike plopped down on the ground. "I'm too tired to walk. Unless they give up a horse, nobody's leaving today."

Seeing her spoiled and willful appearance, Captain Xiao couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

"What are you doing putting on such a princess act all day? None of the old people and children in this group are as troublesome as you. If you really can't walk, you have so many able-bodied men in your family, why don't you have them take turns being your horse? Why do you have to covet other people's things?"

Liu Yike retorted, "We call this making reasonable use of resources. Two tall horses can only carry so little cargo, so what's wrong with giving one up?"

Then he muttered to himself, "It's so hot on my back. Why not ride the horse instead of riding it? I'm not stupid."

Si Cheng was particularly unhappy with his hearing at this moment, realizing that he and his wife were considered fools by others.

"Why waste your breath on them? If they won't move aside, just pick them up and throw them aside. As for whether something will happen, that's none of our business." Someone started to get impatient.

The road they were walking on was an abandoned cement road. Although it was full of potholes, it was much safer than the road next to it, since they had walked on it before.

But the area around them is different; the soft soil could be a pit, and falling in could be fatal. This is the main reason why people don't avoid them.

When Liu Yike heard that they were to be thrown aside, she became a little scared. There had been cases before where people had been careless and had stepped into empty spaces, disappearing completely from everyone's sight without a trace.

“We’re all the same kind of people, is it really necessary to be so malicious?” One of Liu Yike’s brothers stood up and reprimanded everyone when he saw that his sister was frightened.

Captain Xiao was also getting angry. These people were simply unreasonable. "Then get out of the way right now. You can stay here in the sun as long as you want, just don't drag everyone down with you."

"Xiao Ke, let's clear the way first, otherwise we'll offend too many people, and the brothers won't be able to handle it." Finally, someone couldn't stand everyone's resentful gazes and squatted down to try to persuade Liu Yike.

Although Liu Yike was spoiled, she was also good at judging situations. "Why should we make way? I'm going to go first."

After saying that, she took her brother's hand and stood up, saying, "We have to give you an answer when we get to the rest stop."

After saying that, he turned and walked forward without looking back. When he encountered the Pinghe Village group blocking the way, he impatiently shouted, "Aren't you in a hurry? Why are you blocking the way here? Can't you see how many people are waiting behind you?"

The villagers of Pinghe Village were so angry at her shameless words that they laughed.

Yun Jianying said, "Don't cause trouble for everyone next time. We're not your bunch of yes-men; we won't tolerate you."

After saying that, he patted the crossbow on his back, "Have you ever seen this thing? Want to try its power?"

Wu Tianxiang glanced at the group of people and said, "Why do you think the base hired us to send you back to your hometown? Don't piss us off, or losing you people won't have much of an impact on us."

"Captain Xiao, look how arrogant they are, openly threatening us. We don't want them leading the team anymore. Can we find some other people?" Liu Yike said, pointing at the people from Pinghe Village.

Captain Xiao replied impatiently, "You should be grateful that Village Chief Si is willing to lead the team. Why are you being so picky? If you don't want to go, you only have two options: go on your own or go back."

Captain Xiao didn't want to waste words on people who didn't recognize the facts. He directly instructed the people behind him, "If they really don't want to leave, just throw them aside. I'll take responsibility if anything happens."

After saying that, he ignored Liu Yike's shouting and walked directly towards Sicheng.
