"They're right over there."
The man pointed to a cluster of fires in the distance.
"How many people are there?"
"There were probably more than 200 people, but a few families went into the city ahead of time, and the rest were all there."
The third boss sneered, "The rich have all fled to the city, and these people outside the city are just a bunch of nothing."
"Third in command, then we are..." The people below couldn't guess what he was thinking and asked naively.
The Third Master looked at the man on the other side and asked, "How are the people inside preparing?"
"The person who will pick us up will place a signal on the city gate."
"OK."
"Wait until the signal comes, then take action. Blow up these grasshoppers outside the city first, then enter the city."
"yes."
It was a dark and windy night, and everyone was drowsy. In the second half of the night, more than twenty people gathered around a few campfires. Some had already fallen asleep with their chins in their hands, while others had their eyes half closed.
Soon, a light was lit on the city gate.
Seeing this, the people in the forest started to move, covering their faces and taking out long knives from their waists. In the firelight, their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty light.
"Walk!"
A group of people rushed out of the woods and headed straight for the camp where Xinghua Village was located.
Yang Lu had a light sleep. He was on duty in the second half of the night. While others were drowsy, he was very uneasy and could not calm down even if he wanted to take a nap.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from far away. He raised his head and looked to the front left, and saw a group of dark shadows coming towards them.
Yang Lu woke up instantly, his pupils suddenly widened, and he shouted, "Robbery! Someone is here to rob."
This shout instantly woke up the people who were on guard and those who were sleeping.
The men guarding the periphery picked up their weapons and pointed them at the group of people who suddenly appeared.
The Third Master ordered his brothers: "Quick battle, quick decision!"
This group of extremely vicious people didn't take the villagers of Xinghua Village seriously at all.
The two sides soon came into conflict, and shrill screams were accompanied by casualties. The refugees huddled at the foot of the city gate in the distance heard the noise, but some of them just took a look, closed their eyes and continued to sleep, as if it was none of their business.
Another group of people quietly moved forward, hoping to take advantage of the situation, but when they got closer and saw the tragic scene, they were so scared that they retreated and ran away.
"Someone's dead. Someone's dead."
The men of Xinghua Village fought desperately, but no matter how brave they were, they gradually became powerless in the face of the vicious bandits.
They broke through a gap and headed towards the elderly, the weak, women and children inside.
The old people also struggled to pick up carrying poles, hoes and other tools to resist.
“Sizzle”…
A sharp knife pierced through Old Man Yang's chest, and he fought to the end.
"My dear!"
"father."
The sad cries were drowned out by the sounds of fighting.
Yang Lizheng shouted at the old, weak, women and children, "Go, go quickly."
"Run away."
He kept shouting.
The women carried their children on their backs, picked up simple bags, and ran deep into the forest. The men were still fighting hard to save their wives and children.
The third in command was very surprised that this group of people could resist for so long.
Yang Lizheng noticed that the gate of Yongqing County was slowly opening. Just when he thought that the city guards had come to rescue people, he saw no one showed up. His heart skipped a beat, and he realized that the real target of this group of people was not them.
Seeing that the women and children had fled into the forest, Yang Lizheng ordered the men who were still resisting, "Go, go quickly."
They had given up long ago, but they gritted their teeth and persevered for the sake of their wives and children.
Many people were covered in scars and were holding on with just their last breath.
Yang Lizheng gave an order and the men fought and retreated. Once they entered the forest, the bandits stopped their actions.
"Stop chasing him." The third in command said.
The Third Chief instructed his subordinates, "Leave a few of you here to deal with the aftermath, and the rest of you follow me into the city."
A group of people retreated towards Yongqing County.
The refugees who had been surrounding the city gate had already fled after realizing something was wrong and dared not show their heads.
Fuyun Foot Shop
In the dark room, the person lying on the floor suddenly sat up, walked to the window, opened it, and looked out. The room was on the first floor, so he couldn't see anything, but he could hear a faint sound, and that sound was a little wrong.
Su Yin immediately left the yard and climbed onto the rooftop using the sundries piled up in the yard. The rooftop had a wide view, and the entire Yongqing County was in full view. It was located in the south and west of the city, with flames all over the sky and the sounds of fighting coming from those two directions.
Oh no, something big has happened.
Su Yin came down from the roof and ran back to the room immediately to wake up Su's mother and Su Baozhu.
The two opened their eyes blearily.
"Yinyin, what's wrong?" Su Baozhu asked.
"Something happened." Su Yin said.
"What!"
The two of them woke up instantly.
"What happened?" Su's mother asked nervously.
"There's a group of people in the city who are burning, killing and looting. They'll soon reach our place. The two of you pack up your things and take the valuables with you. Hide the rest if you can. If you can't, don't worry about it. I'll go find my uncle and the others."
After Su Yin gave some instructions, she left in a hurry.
"Bang, bang, bang"... the loud knocking on the door woke up the people in the house, and many of them opened their eyes in a daze.
"Who is knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"
"It's so noisy! Can't I sleep?"
Su Yin said, "Uncle, Uncle Dashu, Uncle Yang."
The people in the two rooms stopped complaining when they heard Su Yin's voice.
"It's Su girl."
"Did something happen to Su Yatou and the others?"
The three brothers Yang Dashan, Yang Dachuan and Yang Dahe hurriedly put on their clothes, and the doors on both sides of the room opened at the same time.
"Yinyin, what happened?" Yang Dashan asked hurriedly.
"It's not me who's in trouble, but something big has happened in the city."
"What?" The three of them were confused.
"A group of people have appeared in the city, burning, killing and looting. They are currently in the south and west of the city, and the spread will soon spread to our side."
The south and west of the city were where the rich lived, while the east and north were relatively poor, mostly inhabited by ordinary people. That group of people must have robbed the rich first, and then the east and north areas of the city.
The three of them widened their eyes in shock when they heard this.
Su Yin didn't give them much time to digest the news, and directly ordered, "Now, let's get up, pick up the valuables and take them with you, and leave the rest alone for now. I'll go find the boss, and you guys should wake up all the other travelers in the store."
"good!"
Several people acted separately.
Yang Dashan and Yang Dachuan turned back to the big bunk bed and told them the situation.
"Brother Dashan, are you telling the truth?"
"What Yinyin said must be correct. There is no time now, let's move quickly."
Everyone stood up in panic, and the sleepyheads were scared away. The situation next door was similar, and a group of people hurriedly got up and dressed.
