"Gather our strength and unite to face the outside world."
"Everyone must follow orders in unison. If they are too scattered, they will be easily exploited. This group of people are veterans with rich combat experience, especially for dealing with refugees like us. They have a set of methods."
Nan Jingzhi looked at Su Yin, knowing exactly why she came here.
However, he knew more clearly that they were partly responsible for the fact that he followed them out and was chased by that group of people.
"When they come over, they must be chasing on horseback. Set up a trap 500 meters outside the camp."
“Second, move the elderly and children in the team to the woods to prevent them from getting hurt.”
"Third, move some important things into the woods."
Old man Zhang couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you hide all the people and things in the woods?"
Nan Jingzhi patiently replied: "If the other party doesn't see what we brought, they will definitely guess that we hid the things in the woods. At that time, both the children and the things will be in danger."
"Will they become suspicious if they don't see the children and the elderly?"
"Yes. But their purpose is money. It's dark, so they may not find out. Of course, we can't rely on this fluke mentality and hope that they don't find out."
Nan Jingzhi continued, “The fourth step is to use their suspicion to set a trap in the woods.”
Yang Dashan asked in astonishment: "Are you planning to use some of the food, the elderly, and the children as bait?"
"Yes." Nan Jingzhi nodded. "Sacrificing some people to save the rest is a good deal. These people may not get hurt as long as they are properly protected."
Nan Jingzhi looked at Su Yin, "What do you think?"
Su Yin didn't say anything, but looked at others.
"Do you have any ideas or anything you want to add?"
"What I'm worried about are the old people and children used as bait, and where will the food come from?" Yang Dahe said.
The Zhang family father and son had been very quiet until the eldest of the Zhang family spoke up, "I have a question. Since they are targeting us, they must know how many animals we have. What should we do with them? Should we leave them outside or use them as traps? Or should we keep most of them and only put three animals as bait?"
Everyone expressed their thoughts and doubts.
Nan Jingzhi answered them one by one.
Gradually, the plan became more and more mature, taking into account everything that should be considered.
"It's time to act now."
Whether it is the old people or children who serve as bait, each family is assigned someone to do so, and the same goes for food and other items.
When Zhang's father and son returned to their camping site, family members came over to them.
"how's it going?"
The Zhang family father and son briefly explained what they knew, and the Zhang family members' faces changed drastically when they heard it.
"No, no."
"If we all leave, will they really chase us out?"
"It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't. It's always better to be prepared. If it doesn't exist, that would be the best. I'm just afraid..." Old man Zhang sighed worriedly.
The eldest son of the Zhang family spoke up, "Dad, let's not talk about it for now, let's get everything to the front."
After Su Yin and his group returned to their place, Su Baozhu couldn't help but sigh, "I finally understand what it means to have mixed feelings."
The good news is that there is strength in numbers. Nan Jingzhi's group has high combat effectiveness. Facing extremely vicious people, they have a greater chance of winning and can reduce their pressure.
What worries them is that if they didn't follow them, the group might not necessarily chase them.
"Have you figured it out?"
Su Baozhu nodded.
Everyone started to take action.
Nan Jingzhi had more people on his side, and they arrived 500 meters away first, ambushing ropes on the road in advance, just waiting for them to arrive and catch them off guard.
Yang Dachuan and Yang Dahe are good at archery, and they will be responsible for long-range attacks together with Nan Jingzhi's men.
Several brothers of the Zhang family also joined the team for the head-on battle.
As for Su Yin, at the strong request of Butcher Yang and others, she was arranged to be the bait.
Also coming with him were Nan Jingzhi, the second son of the Zhang family and ten other people.
The battle outside was commanded by the burly man Nan Wu.
While they were busy preparing, the tightly closed city gate opened, and a group of twenty people in plain clothes and wearing masks passed through the refugee huts on both sides and rushed towards the distance.
Behind the 20-man cyclist team, a group of people dressed in soldiers' uniforms emerged, each holding a knife, and heading towards the newly arrived refugees.
As they approached, no one woke up; everyone was fast asleep, immersed in dreams.
These people unscrupulously turned out all the bags on them, without any worry that anyone would wake up.
Sometimes, those who did not drink the porridge or drank less porridge would be awakened and have their heads chopped off before they could even make a sound.
No matter how big or small, without exception.
The team of twenty cyclists ran for about half an incense stick of time, but still could not see any trace of them, which surprised them very much.
"These rats ran really far away."
"Humph, no matter how far you run, it will be useless."
"Speed up and catch up with them."
Among this batch of newly arrived refugees, the fattest ones belong to those two groups.
The things found from searching for such fat sheep are usually the most lucrative.
In the woods, Su Yin squatted aside, slapping mosquitoes on her arms and legs from time to time.
Nan Jingzhi looked at her scratching her head, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to her.
Su Yin raised her eyes and glanced at him.
"An ointment to repel mosquitoes."
If it was something else, Su Yin would still be polite, but she really, really, really needed the mosquito repellent ointment.
These mosquitoes are too much. They just catch her and suck her. With her small body, I'm afraid she won't be enough for them to suck her for the whole night.
"Thanks."
Su Yin took the porcelain bottle with emotion and quickly applied some on her face, arms, and calves.
After applying this thing, the mosquitoes disappeared.
She returned the things, and Nan Jingzhi pushed them back.
"You can keep it. I have more."
"Thank you so much." Su Yin was so excited that she wanted to hold the other person's hand.
This is good silver!
"Mr. Nan, what is this ointment called? Where can I buy it?"
If there is a place to buy it, I will definitely look for it at the next stop.
"It's made by my family and not sold to the public."
There is no doubt that this guy is from a noble family.
By seeing the big picture from the small, you can get a glimpse of the powerful family background.
Without the worry of mosquitoes, Su Yin can concentrate much better.
Nan Wu, who was guarding both sides of the official road, moved his ears and blew the sound of crickets with his mouth. Everyone's heart shuddered and their nerves became tense.
"Has anyone come? Why didn't I see them?"
Zhou Youcai and the eldest son of the Zhang family lay on both sides of the official road, looking nervously in the direction of Hui'an Prefecture.
As soon as the words fell, spots of light appeared in the darkness.
