But the sticks were falling so fast and heavy that they couldn't stop them at all!
Zhao Dahe's face turned from blue to white, and then from white to black. After several changes, his face became ferocious.
Gradually, the voices of Li Hai and the others became quieter, until finally there was no sound at all.
Li Cuihua and her husband cried and shouted and wanted to move forward, but they were suppressed by the men in black. At first glance, they thought the men in black were bullying others.
"How could you, how could you kill people so casually..."
"Even if it was in the government, this crime wouldn't cost two lives. You don't want us to settle down here, you just want to enslave us!"
A villager suddenly reacted and shouted.
The fear in the hearts of those villagers who were so frightened that they dared not open their eyes also reached its peak. When people are emotionally at their peak, they are always easily instigated to lose control.
"We want to go, we want to leave here, let us go!"
When someone shouts out, someone will respond.
"Yes, we need to leave here, let us go."
Looking at the excited villagers, Su Ying curled up the corners of her lips into a faint sneer.
"When you came here before, this city lord told you that if you want to survive, you must stay here and not leave. You agreed."
"Yes, we agreed at that time, but we didn't expect you to be like this. If we stay here any longer, we will die sooner or later."
"That's right, you didn't say you could kill us at will."
The arc of Su Ying's lips deepened, "Since you all want to leave, there is no point for me to keep you. Well, I will give you another chance to choose. Those who are willing to stay can continue to stay here, and those who want to leave can leave now."
The people in Shangyao Village didn't expect Su Ying to agree so readily.
Zhao Dahe looked at Su Ying in astonishment, thinking he was hallucinating.
"This city lord will only give you one chance. Those who want to leave must leave Tiger Camp before dark today."
After she finished speaking, she paused and said, "Think carefully. If you leave this time and want to come back, you won't be treated the same as before."
"Let's go, I want to go, I want to leave here! I want to go home! The snow in the south country must have melted by now, we can go back."
"Yes, let's go home, let's go home!"
Many villagers shouted excitedly and turned around to rush out of the tiger camp.
Su Ying also signaled to the men in black not to stop them and let them leave at will.
After Li Cuihua and her husband were freed, they were so angry that they wanted to pounce on the men in black. However, when they saw the big knives in their hands, they became afraid and could only carry their son's body away crying.
"Dad, are we leaving?" Seeing that Zhao Dahe didn't respond, Zhao Dahe's son walked up and tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Zhao Dahe's brows were twisted into a "川" shape. If Su Ying really wanted to let them go, then it would not be a bad idea to take this opportunity to go back. After all, the people here were too scary and they had no chance of taking the initiative.
"Let's go back and pack our things."
The villagers gradually left the tiger camp.
The Black Protector asked doubtfully: "Does the City Lord really want to let them go?" How could the City Lord be so easy to talk to?
There was no expression on Su Ying's face. She just raised her eyebrows slightly and said lightly: "Yes." But whether they can get out depends on their ability.
The Black Protector suddenly realized, that's what he said, being merciful and soft-hearted is definitely not the city lord's style, especially towards those who go back on their words.
After coming out of Huying, the villagers of Shangyao Village gathered in groups of three or four.
"Are you going to leave or not?"
"Let's go. What are we doing here? Eating sweet potatoes once a day is not enough to fill our stomachs."
"Yes, I'm leaving too."
Zhao Dahe also returned home with his son.
"Dad, are we really leaving?"
Zhao Dahe frowned, "You don't want to leave?"
The boy scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Dad, Li Hai and the others were wrong in the first place..."
"He can kill you at will if you do something wrong? Aren't you afraid that he will kill you if you do something wrong in the future?"
The boy had nothing to say, so he obediently went to pack his bags.
After packing up, Zhao Dahe stood in the yard and looked at the house he had lived in before. He felt very complicated, but he turned around and left with his son without hesitation.
In the afternoon, people from Shangyao Village began to leave Tiger Camp in small numbers. Before it got dark, most of those who wanted to leave had already left.
The man in black walked into the Tiger Camp and came to Su Ying, bowed and said, "City Lord, there are less than 20 people left in the city now, and those people said they were willing to stay in the Tiger Camp."
Su Ying nodded. "Who are the people who stayed behind?"
"Reporting to the city lord, most of them are lonely people."
For lonely people, it doesn't matter where they stay. As long as they are not starving to death, there is no need to go through so much trouble.
Su Ying nodded and said nothing more, "Close the gate of Tiger Camp. Do not open it without the order of this city lord."
"yes."
As night fell, the people of Shangyao Village were still on their way out of the wild forest in the northern wilderness.
"They must be afraid of us, otherwise they wouldn't let us go so easily."
"That's right. There are so many of us. If a fight really breaks out, they may not win. It would be better for them to just let us go. No matter what, we can finally leave that damn place."
Many villagers had relieved smiles on their faces, as if they would be able to live the life they wanted after leaving the Tiger Camp with enough food and clothing. However, they forgot that the dry food they had with them was distributed to them by Su Ying.
As the sky grew darker, the road ahead became darker.
The men walked in front holding torches, not daring to be careless.
"Li Zheng, the road is not easy to walk at night. Let's find a place to stay tonight."
Zhao Dahe refused, "Why rest? What if she changes her mind and comes after us? If the road is hard to walk on at night, just walk slowly. As long as we get out of here, we will be safe."
"Yes, listen to the headman."
At this moment, a low growl of a wild beast suddenly came from the front, and the people walking in front to explore the way were frightened and screamed.
"Ah! Yes, there is a tiger, there is a tiger!"
The man shouted in fear and turned and ran.
When the villagers heard this, their hair stood on end with fear.
"Don't be afraid, wild animals are afraid of fire. Those holding torches should go to the front and don't run around." Zhao Dahe shouted and swung the torch in his hand around, only to find that there were pairs of bright green eyes hidden in the darkness.
Those green eyes flickered, like the faint light illuminating the road to the underworld.
"roar!"
A huge tiger slowly walked out of the darkness, its size was so huge that it was suffocating.
"Hurry, run! The big tiger is coming to eat people!"
