As soon as the sun rose, before Tian An could think clearly, the four people opposite were about to drive away in their carriage.
At this time, Tian An happened to be standing at the door with Xiaokang and Xiaoqi. When they were pulling the curtain of the carriage, he suddenly saw several bruised and swollen young faces in the carriage from a corner of the curtain.
They seemed to have seen Tian An as well, and immediately looked at her with hope and pleading eyes. They even bumped into the carriage with their bodies in an attempt to attract her attention.
The four of them were obviously panicked. They turned to look at other people and saw that Dashan, Liu Da and others were busy packing up. Tian An also lowered his head to tidy up the clothes and hair of his two younger brothers and did not pay attention to them. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and drove the carriage away.
As the carriage left, Tian An's heart skipped a beat. Qiu Shan came running back from outside and shouted, "Oh no! Those refugees are starving and robbing everyone they see. They're heading our way."
Everyone's faces changed and they were extremely panicked. If they were blocked by the refugees in the dilapidated temple, not only would their food be stolen, but they might not even be able to survive until tomorrow.
Zhao Yiming stood in the crowd and shouted, "Come on, don't panic. Determine the number of people. Children and the elderly should get on the oxcarts. Women should go inside. Men should carry their weapons and guard the outside. Deng Yuan should lead the way."
Fortunately, they had almost finished packing and everyone was there. When the adults heard Zhao Yiming's voice, they quickly carried the children onto the ox cart.
They drew out their weapons, surrounded the ox cart, and rushed out of the ruined temple, pulling the cart.
When we reached the fork in the road, we saw the refugees roaring towards us. After the first ox cart rushed out, the men guarding the carts rushed to stop the refugees, allowing the remaining ox carts and donkey carts to pass smoothly.
When the last ox cart passed by, Zhao Yiming pulled a bag of food from the cart with one hand and threw it into the pile of refugees. While the refugees were scrambling for food, he led everyone away safely.
After a frantic run, everyone ran several miles in one breath, panting for breath. They slowed down only after they saw no refugees on the road.
Tian An's heart was still pounding. When people are starving, it's really too crazy. The refugees' eyes are red as if they want to eat them alive.
People who grew up in a harmonious society have never seen such a scene. Even thinking about it now makes her scalp tingle. It is so bloody.
Before Tian An could recover from the shock, she was busy taking care of her two younger brothers. The children were also very scared. In other families, it was the parents who comforted them. But since her family had no parents, she, as the older sister, had to take care of them more.
Everyone walked slowly, and a gentle breeze blew, bringing a cool feeling and taking away the heat caused by running. Tian An's mood gradually calmed down.
Suddenly, a carriage stopped by the roadside made Tian An tremble.
"An An, what's wrong?" Zhao Yiming next to him asked worriedly.
Tian An shook his head and said, "It's okay." But he couldn't hide the worry on his face.
Zhao Yiming quietly took his hand and said, "An An, if you have any problems, tell us and we can solve it together."
Tian An hesitated for a long time, opening and closing his mouth, then glancing at the carriage behind him. Finally, he whispered the whole story to Zhao Yiming.
After listening to this, Zhao Yiming only asked: "Does An An want to save them?"
"I don't want to meddle in other people's business, but..."
Zhao Yiming didn't ask any more questions, but asked Deng Yuan to lead everyone to continue walking, and asked Chen Feng and Deng Xue to take care of the two children. Then he took Tian An away from the team.
"Where are you two going?" someone in the crowd asked.
"We were running so fast just now that we dropped something. Let's go back and look for it. You guys keep going, we'll be back soon."
Before anyone could ask what it was, the two of them trotted away.
While no one was paying attention, the two of them sneaked into the woods beside the road. After their team was out of sight, they crouched down and looked at the carriage.
At this time, there was no one on the road, and everything was quiet. There was only one strong man and the woman in the carriage. The other two had disappeared.
"We have no chance of winning if we directly clash with them, and it would also be easy to expose ourselves. If we are recognized later, we might face retaliation. Therefore, we can only outsmart them."
Tian An analyzed the situation and whispered, "She wants to save people, but she can't let anyone else get in trouble."
Zhao Yiming was of course aware of what Tian An was talking about. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Do you still have the knockout drug you used last time?"
"Yes, there is, but it's not easy to give medicine in this situation!"
Zhao Yiming asked tentatively, "Do you have a slingshot?"
Hearing this, Tian An's eyes lit up. That's right! They could deliver the drug remotely! Why hadn't she thought of that? Zhao Yiming's shot was accurate, so it would definitely work. If they could knock those two people unconscious, they could rescue them effortlessly.
Tian An Zhenzhen pulled out a slingshot from his space and handed it to Zhao Yiming. He then pulled out two medical masks, each of them wearing one. Finally, he took out the knockout drug and wrapped it in special paper into marble-sized pills.
"When you inject it later, try to inject it on the mouth or chin. The paper wrapping the medicine will break when you inject it, and they will feel the effects immediately after inhaling a little bit."
Zhao Yiming nodded, took the pill, pulled the slingshot, squinted one eye, aimed directly at the strong man's mouth and shot a pill.
The strong man just opened his mouth to yawn, and the whole knockout drug went straight into his mouth.
Zhao Yiming: "...will it work if I eat it?
Tian An nodded blankly: "It works. If you smell it, it works for three days, and if you eat it, it works for five days."
Sure enough, as soon as Tian An finished speaking, the strong man groaned and fell to the ground from the carriage.
Seeing this, the woman quickly jumped out of the carriage to pull him out, but no matter how hard she pulled, he wouldn't wake up. Panic-stricken, she raised her head and was about to call for help when something suddenly went into her mouth and went straight down her throat without her having to swallow. Then her eyes rolled back and she fell backwards.
Seeing this, the two men immediately stood up and ran towards the carriage.
"Bang!"
As Tian An opened the carriage, she saw eight or nine children tied up in a crowded carriage, looking at her with horror. However, one of the young boys was first surprised, then ecstatic, as if he was certain that the two had come to rescue them.
Seeing that Tian An didn't move, he took the initiative to remind her, "Hurry, help us untie it first, those two people are coming back."
There was no time to say anything at the moment. Tian An took out a dagger from his bag, quickly jumped onto the carriage, and helped him cut the ropes on his hands and feet.
The boy was saved but did not rush to run away. He turned around and helped Tian An untie the other children.
He also reminded them: "After you get off the carriage, run to a crowded place. If you still remember your home, go home on your own. If you don't remember, go to the county town. Once you enter the county town, find the government and ask them to send you home. In the future, you must listen to your parents and don't get caught again."
This wave of actions confused Tian An. Why did it feel like this guy was the one who came to save people?
