Chapter 279: Sowing discord? I like it
Xie Mubai's dark pupils suddenly tightened.
With a wave of his hand and a drop of his knife, a pair of bloody severed hands fell to the cold ground.
Accompanied by a series of screams like ghosts and wolves howling, the old man's grandson fell to the ground and rolled around in pain.
The other refugees were not much better off. They desperately scratched their skin with their nails, and soon their skin became bloody and their white bones were faintly visible.
"Hurry, tie them up!" The old man looked at it and couldn't help but feel angry and anxious.
At a command, the families of the refugees rushed to tie them up one by one.
However, the old man's grandson looked too terrifying, so they didn't dare to go forward.
"Grandpa, save me!" The old man's grandson looked at him with a pale face and despair, "I don't want to die, I don't want to be a cripple!"
Looking at his grandson's bloody severed hand, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears.
"What a sin! What a sin!" He shook his head and said bitterly, "We are refugees, not bandits!"
"Look at what you are doing now. What's the difference between you and those bandits in foreign countries who are burning, killing, and looting?"
"Oh my God, what did we do wrong? Why did it turn out like this?"
Looking at the tear marks on the old man’s face, Shen Wan felt sad.
When people reach the end of their rope, they will inevitably do extreme things.
She can understand, but that doesn't mean she can forgive.
"Let's go." She thought for a moment and looked up at Xie Mubai.
Xie Mubai nodded slightly.
Seeing that they were about to leave, the old man became anxious.
"Heroes, please be magnanimous and forgive them this time." His eyes were red as he knelt on the ground. "It's true that they made mistakes, but their crimes don't deserve the death penalty."
When the families of the refugees saw this, they couldn't help but get angry.
"Fifth Master, why do you ask them?"
"Yeah, it's our people who were injured, so they should be the ones to apologize."
Seeing this group of refugees being so shameless, Shen Wan was so angry that she laughed.
"Are you kidding me? It was clearly your people who wanted to rob us!" She looked at the group of refugees with cold eyes, and her words were full of sarcasm. "Could it be that the robbers are not guilty, and the robbed are the ones at fault?"
"But aren't you all okay?" a dark-faced woman sullenly shouted, "Now it's our people who are in trouble!"
"If you don't hand over the antidote, I'll report it to the police!"
When the other refugees heard this, they also echoed it.
"Yes, report it to the police!"
"My man's face has been disfigured by the scratches from his nails. He absolutely cannot accept compensation of eight or ten taels of silver!"
"Ten taels is not enough, at least twenty taels is needed. After all, disfigurement is no small matter!"
Those who can afford to drive a horse-drawn carriage these days are definitely not poor. It shouldn't be difficult to extort dozens of taels of silver from them, right?
The pregnant woman couldn't help but feel angry and anxious when she saw this.
She struggled to get up and gently advised, "You can't do this. You have to have a conscience."
"What conscience? How much is it worth?" the sullen-faced woman rolled her eyes and retorted, "I listened to Master Wu and tried to be a good person all this time, but what happened to me in the end?"
"As long as I can survive, I don't mind being a bad guy!"
"You can be a good person if you want to, but I'm determined to report it to the police."
This pregnant woman doesn't quarrel.
In desperation, she could only look at Master Wu for help.
In Qingfeng Village, Wu Ye is highly respected and his character is needless to say.
But now that things have come to this, he really doesn't want to say anything more.
What's more, no matter what I say, those people just won't listen.
Ling Xiaoxiao is impatient.
When she heard what the black-faced woman said, she was so angry that she took out a long whip from her waist and said, "Okay, let's go!"
"I want to see which is faster, your legs or my whip. I'll whip you to death!"
Seeing that she was angry, the refugees were not afraid.
"Come on, slap me in the face if you dare!" The dark-faced woman stiffened her neck, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water. "When we get to the county government office, I'll make you pay more."
What a joke! She isn't even afraid of being poor, so how could she be afraid of pain?
Since I'm almost starving to death anyway, I might as well take the opportunity to give it a try.
Ling Xiaoxiao's face turned pale with anger.
Okay, you’re not afraid, right? Then let them taste the power of the insect.
In a rage, she went to get the jar that Su Wen had given her.
Shen Wan looked at it and stopped her with a smile.
"You want compensation, right?" She thought for a moment and looked up at the refugees.
When the refugees heard this, they nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
It’s okay to feel itchy, at worst you can just knock those guys out.
As long as the effect of the medicine wears off, I believe they will get better.
But money is different.
With money, they won't have to suffer from hunger and cold.
"Each of you wants twenty taels of silver, right?" Shen Wan pretended to be embarrassed, "But what should I do if I only have twenty taels?"
When the black-faced woman heard this, she mistakenly thought that the girl was scared.
Her eyes rolled and she immediately said, "Don't worry about this. We are in the same group. It doesn't matter who we give it to."
"That won't do!" Shen Wan immediately shook her head when she heard it, "It will be very troublesome if the accounts are mixed up."
"How about this, you guys discuss it first, and I'll pay for one person's medical expenses first."
"As for the others, I'll write an IOU and pay them back slowly later."
As she spoke, she took out twenty taels of silver from her pocket.
When the refugees saw the white silver, their eyes widened.
Twenty taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to live for a year!
"Give it to me!" The black-faced woman rushed forward and reached out to grab it.
The other refugees saw this and pushed her away.
"Why should we give it to you? Your man is obviously the least injured!" they said angrily.
The dark-faced woman showed no sign of weakness and immediately retorted, "I negotiated for the compensation, so it must be given to me!"
Seeing that they ignored him, the fifth master's grandson became even more furious.
He ignored the pain in his body and shouted loudly, "No, you have to give it to me, my injury is the worst!"
"Besides, it was me who suggested the robbery, otherwise how could we have gotten such a large sum of money!"
When the black-faced woman heard this, she kicked him directly.
"Do you still have any shame?" She yelled hysterically at the top of her voice, "If you hadn't instigated this, how could my man have been hurt?"
Seeing that this woman dared to kick him, the fifth master's grandson was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire.
He gritted his teeth, climbed up from the ground, and rushed towards the woman.
The black-faced woman was not someone to be trifled with either. She picked up a wooden stick and tried to hit his broken arm, but unexpectedly she hit another woman instead.
"Bitch, how dare you hit me!"
The woman's eyes turned red and she immediately joined the fight.
Soon, the scene became a mess.
Wu Ye looked at it and sighed deeply.
He thought for a moment and said to the pregnant woman, "Take the child and go with the girl."
The pregnant woman was a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Master Wu took the little boy’s hand and came to Shen Wan.
His eyes were red and his voice was very hoarse: "Girl, I'll leave this mother and son to you."
"You are a good person, and you will be rewarded."
"Go away quickly, don't let these beasts' words pollute your ears."
Shen Wan’s eyes moved slightly: “What about you?”
