The victims were frightened and thought they would behave themselves, but someone suddenly had an idea.
"They're pushing carts, so they must have a lot of supplies. We're going to die anyway, so we might as well die with a full stomach!"
"I agree. With so many of us, why should we be afraid of these weaklings?"
"But that woman is quite strong!"
"So what if she's strong? Does she dare to kill someone?"
"That's right, their lips are wet, it looks like there's water in the car, and this cow is very strong!"
Everyone became more and more addicted as they talked, staring at them intently as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and the crowd also started to move along.
Tang Youyou frowned: "They only have food in their eyes. It seems we have no choice but to fight!"
She wouldn't just stand there and wait for someone to attack her. She took out her slingshot and aimed at the person shouting in the front.
With a "whoosh", the stone went straight to the man's eyebrows.
The man was talking excitedly when he suddenly stopped and fell straight down. Everyone then discovered that there was a bloody hole between his eyebrows.
"Go any further! I guarantee you'll be the next to die!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the slingshot aimed at them. They were startled and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Lady, we are also forced to do so. Please give us a bite to eat!"
"As long as you give us a bite to eat, we will keep your murder a secret."
"That's right, killing someone means paying with your life!"
Yao Cuihua couldn't hold it in any longer and cursed: "Bah! You're actually threatening us. I'm telling you, if I kill you all, no one will know."
Butcher Zhang was stunned by his wife's bold words, but then he thought that his wife was just like him and must be trying to scare them.
Tang Youyou nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, Sister Yao is right! Since you don't want to live, go down and accompany him!"
After he finished speaking, he loosened his grip, and with a whoosh, the stone hit the tree.
With a loud bang, the tree broke in the middle.
This scene frightened the people who had just threatened her. They all rolled and crawled to the side, covering their heads, as if she could not see them.
Tang Youyou waved his hand, and the large group moved forward, but the victims behind the group were chasing closely.
"What should I do? I can't get rid of them!" Butcher Zhang was a little annoyed.
"If they want to follow us, let them follow. Let's see how long they can follow. We have much better physical strength than them!" Tang Wen patted his shoulder to comfort him.
As expected, an hour later, the victims could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, dying.
After walking for another half an hour, they saw a carriage frame in front of them. There were torn clothes all over the ground, and there were some dried bloodstains under a big tree.
Tang Youyou raised her hand: "Take a break!"
Tang's mother looked at the cloth on the ground and sighed, "This is the finest cotton. I wonder which wealthy family was robbed."
Carpenter Zhang looked at the carriage and suddenly came up with an idea. He instructed his two sons: "Find some tools and modify it!"
A moment later, the frame of a light oxcart appeared.
"Old Zhang, you've got such a skillful hand!" Butcher Zhang praised generously.
"Of course not. I'm not exaggerating. As long as I want to do it, there's nothing I can't do!"
"Hey! I complimented you a couple of times, and you got all cocky."
"Okay, I don't have time for words. Come on, help me put the ox on!"
Several people worked together to harness the cow.
Tang Youyou looked around and said, "Put all the small items into the ox cart, and each person should carry some dry food and water bags on their waists. From today on, we will stop cooking until the food is exhausted. Then we will change our route to the mountains."
Everyone agreed, after all, taking the official road was much faster than walking through the mountains.
Tang Youyou opened the map and took a look: "We'd better get out of Tuzhou within four days!"
She was reluctant to step into the deep forests of Tuzhou. After all, the bandits lurking there were cruel and ruthless, even more ferocious than wolves.
Everyone put their things away, had a quick bite, and was on their way again.
It was not until midnight that he found a piece of ground without blood stains and sat down.
Everyone took out their blankets and gathered in a circle, while Butcher Zhang stood guard outside the tent.
Yu was a little terrified: "Youyou, what if those people go and sue us?"
"You mean the disaster victim I killed?"
Yu nodded.
Tang Youyou said without hesitation: "It's unknown whether they can survive to sue the authorities. Besides, perhaps their bodies will be eaten by tomorrow!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone remembered the group of people they first met and fell silent.
Seeing this, she thought quickly in her heart: I have killed people now, and I must drag them all down with me. I cannot test their human nature. If we become enemies one day, this incident will become a fatal blow to me.
Old Man Tang's eyes flashed, and he pulled her. The two of them walked to the corner and whispered.
"My daughter, you killed someone today, you must not let anyone know, otherwise you will have endless troubles in the future!"
"Dad, don't worry, I understand!"
"You know shit! Next time you encounter a situation like this, make sure to let the other companies handle it. They've all taken lives on their shoulders so they won't reveal your secrets!"
"Hey! Dad, I think the same as you!"
Old Man Tang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "You, you, remember not to be soft-hearted!"
"Got it, Dad!"
Tang's mother glanced at the two of them with a stern look: "You are so grown up, and you are still whispering? Come and eat something and get some rest!"
Tang Youyou nodded slightly. She was exhausted both physically and mentally. Her only desire at this moment was to have a peaceful sleep, but the reality did not allow her to do so.
Sure enough, there was a noise in the middle of the night. She suddenly opened her eyes, and a flash of coldness passed through her eyes.
There weren't many disaster victims around here last night, just a few scattered around. Everyone woke up when they heard the noise nearby.
"Damn it! I'm going to drink human blood tonight!" Butcher Zhang said viciously, holding two kitchen knives.
Xu Da patted him and said, "Don't be so stubborn. You're the most seriously injured. Stay aside and look after the children!"
Everyone looked at the twenty or so people in front of them and swallowed.
The man at the front holding a torch said, "They have a cart of food, a cow, and a dozen children!"
When everyone heard this, they started shouting.
"Those in front, if you want to live, hand over all the food!"
"Don't even think about resisting. We just robbed a carriage not long ago!"
"If you don't want to die, then hand over the food obediently!"
Xu Da spat, "Bah! Are you bandits? You're robbing people's food and you're calling it justified!"
"I think you want to die!"
Xu Da looked at the axe in his hand and said: "Damn it, this axe of mine has drunk the blood of wolves, but it has never drunk the blood of bandits!"
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, thinking he was just trying to scare them.
"Stop talking nonsense, we are all good citizens!"
Tang Youyou stood aside, looking like she was enjoying the show, without saying a word.
"Bah! Good citizen? Good citizen, you idiot!" Xu Da roared and rushed out.
