Chapter 24: Resolving Conflicts Is to Intensify Them



The Meng family was also awakened by Meng Shijie's first shout.

Everyone in the tent woke up and rushed out to see what was going on.

The people in the Meng family who had just woken up had not yet figured out what was going on when they heard Meng Shuyan's inner voice.

In the night light, those people, who were wearing clothes of unknown color, could not be seen. They were running towards the shouting Meng Shijie with reflective machetes in their hands.

The Meng family's hearts were in their throats.

Seeing this, Mr. Meng and Meng Shichang were about to go out to pull Meng Shijie, but were stopped by Doctor Zhou's son.

"Wait a minute, he's spreading rumors. He wants to cause chaos so he can get away. If you go out, you'll be a target."

Meng Shuyan was also crying out in her heart, extremely anxious.

[Yes, we can’t go out. If grandpa and uncle go out, it will be counterproductive.

Not only did you fail to save the person, but you also lost yourself. Don't be stupid!

Mr. Meng and Meng Shichang heard Meng Shuyan's thoughts and successfully stopped.

But we still watched with great concern. It can be said that everyone was very worried.

"Robbers! Robbers are coming, robbers! Help, sir, help!"

When someone saw this, the first thing they thought of was the officers escorting them.

But after shouting for a long time, no officers came to rescue them, and everyone was in a panic.

Some people saw the shiny machetes coming towards them, and more and more machetes were coming, and they were scared and fled in all directions.

Those who came to transport grain didn't care who they were.

At this time, the person who led the shouting about robbers could not be found, so they just chopped down anyone they saw.

It is to prove that these people encountered robbers tonight.

Otherwise, if the matter gets out of hand, neither side will be able to explain themselves.

This was also the worst-case scenario we had thought of before.

Unexpectedly, they were about to leave when they were seen by that person and their situation was disrupted.

If they had secretly taken away the food, nothing would have happened and these people would have been able to survive.

Now it seems that someone must die.

Meng Shijie ran around and came back. Seeing that his family members were stunned, he felt a little angry at them for not fighting back.

"What are you still standing there for?

Hurry up and grab your weapons! Do you want to be hacked to death by those people?

Use whatever you can to block it."

As Meng Shijie spoke, he grabbed the bullwhip with familiarity.

This thing is also good for hitting people, but you have to be careful not to get cut by it.

He then took out the kitchen knife from his luggage according to his memory and put it in his brother's hand.

He took out the iron pot again and put it into his eldest nephew's hand.

Then he protected his mother, father, wife and children behind him.

"Uncle Zhou, don't just stand there. Take whatever you can. Those people are bandits who kill without blinking an eye.

Even the officers cannot be trusted; they are all in cahoots with the government, stealing from the government!"

Meng Shijie was explaining science to the people in his tent. They all understood and figured out what was going on.

Without him saying anything, everyone tried their best to pick up things that could protect themselves and surrounded the women and children.

The men stood in the outermost circle.

There were also people in the large team who reacted immediately like them, picked up their weapons and started to fight back.

There were thirty-two people in total who came to haul the grain, plus the thirty servants on their side, a total of sixty-two people.

The officers thought they couldn't kill all these hundreds of people unless they started fleeing to the ends of the earth tonight.

So they just stood there and didn't help anyone.

The thirty-two other people who came to drag the food were allowed to kill everyone else.

Those officers didn't move, just stood by and watched. Take their swords away.

Meng Shuyan looked anxious.

What kind of pots, pans, and utensils can they use to withstand the attacks of others? They need to have hard weapons in their hands!

The Meng family heard Meng Shuyan's thoughts and thought that this was indeed the best way.

It is also the best way to rescue them from their current predicament.

Everyone was thinking about how to convince their family to snatch the weapons and whips from the officers when they heard Meng Shijie speak again.

“Those officers won’t move, so we have to go grab their swords and fight them.

You can’t just sit there and wait for death, or you’ll die.”

Everyone had already seen the situation, so they all obeyed his orders.

Until now, he is the only one with a clear mind and quick reactions, and everyone listens to his instructions.

Meng Shijie had no choice but to take the blame for these officers.

Because in the end, those who are desperately hungry will target those who have ox carts and horse carts.

It’s better to start a chaos now, at least they are still innocent.

In his philosophy, if you encounter something that is difficult to solve, then try to make it as big as possible, and then someone will naturally come to solve the problem.

Look, now there are more than 600 people following him to resist the bandits.

Although it is pitch black now, these people have opened their eyes from the darkness, so they can still see something in the darkness.

They followed Meng Shijie's instructions and sneaked towards those differences.

They approached, and several people held down one of them, covered his mouth, snatched away his sword and whip, and then knocked him unconscious with a knife.

These officers are now in cahoots with the bandits, and we can't let them speak and alert them.

Meng Shijie and a few others stole more than a dozen machetes and several whips.

The whips used by the officers all have barbs, which are very useful for self-defense.

Meng Shijie took the whip back and first gave one to his mother and daughter-in-law, and then gave one to his sister-in-law.
