Chapter 214 Bandit Tribe
Before they got close, the patrolman standing on the tower saw them first, opened the door and came out to greet them.
When he got closer, Ye Li could see clearly that they were all holding guns and had unfriendly expressions.
Li Yuan stepped forward and said with a playful smile, "Why is there a change of personnel today? I wonder what your name is, big brother?"
"Is this how many times a year you come here to exchange food?" asked the man with a mole on his face.
"Yes, that's us."
The man with the mole glanced at the things Li Yuan brought. He smiled and said, "Leave the things here, you can go now."
"Big brother, what about our things?" Li Yuan said with a smile, "Just give us the amount we were given each time."
The leading man glanced at Li Yuan unhappily, then angrily pulled out his pistol and pressed it against Li Yuan's head. "Just get out of here! Why are you talking so much nonsense? From now on, we won't give you any food unless you submit to our mountaintop tribe."
Li Yuan was startled. It turned out that the people in front of him were from the Mountaintop Tribe. The Mountaintop Tribe was known for its brutality and prestige. Li Yuan did not dare to act recklessly. He said tentatively, "But these things are ours. If you don't give us anything, of course we have to take our things back."
"Hmm?" The man with the mole had a fierce look on his face and poked Li Yuan's head with his gun. "Are you looking down on the gun in my hand?"
"Okay, you keep the things and we'll leave now." Life was at stake, so Li Yuan immediately lowered his posture.
"Hmph!" The man with the mole put away his gun and waved his hand. His men immediately rushed up and took away everything that Li Yuan and the others had brought.
The people of the forest tribe were pointed at by so many people with guns that no one dared to move. They could only watch as the people of the mountaintop tribe took away their things.
"Hey, there's a woman." The man with the mole saw Ye Li at a glance. He smiled and took two steps forward, reaching out to pull Ye Li.
"Let's go!" a member of the mountaintop tribe shouted, "We need to bring food up to the king later. If you delay, your life will be in danger!"
The man who was about to pull Ye Li stopped immediately, looked at Ye Li unwillingly, and then turned and went into the fence gate.
The gate of the fence was pulled shut. Ye Li and the others peeked through the small door and caught a glimpse of what was happening inside. The men working inside had iron chains on their hands and feet, and some of the people from the mountaintop tribe were whipping them, shouting, "Hurry up! Can you handle the delay of the King's wedding?"
"Let's go!" Li Yuan turned around and urged everyone to leave together.
The people of the Forest Tribe were frightened this time. When had they ever been robbed like this when they came to exchange for food? It seemed that things had changed in the Farmland Tribe.
"Faster!" As they walked, everyone started running wildly, all the way into the forest, and then they slowed down breathlessly.
"What's wrong with the Farmland Tribe? How can they be like this? They stole our things and refused to give us food in exchange. They are clearly robbers!"
"Yes, we didn't get any food back, but the things we brought with us are gone. What will we eat during the winter?"
Li Yuan said worriedly, "It seems the Great Elder's guess is correct. Things have really changed in the Farmland Tribe. We should prepare early. The Mountaintop Tribe might reach out to our Forest Tribe tomorrow."
"What is going on?" Ye Li still didn't understand the situation.
