Chapter 104: Disguised as a Refugee
At the beach, six refugees walked out of the military green tent, scattered, and joined the large group of refugees.
These six people were Xiao Xun and his men. They looked no different from the refugees now. They were haggard, ragged, and emitting a foul odor. They were carrying water and walking back with the refugees.
They walked very slowly and looked like they had been hungry for a long time. They had no strength left, unlike the other refugees who received water and hurried back to their respective homes.
"City Lord, do you think the person you are looking for will come?" As the chief guard, Wang Lun must follow Xiao Xun closely to protect his safety.
He really didn't expect that the city lord would come up with such a method to find that woman.
Blend in with the refugees and make yourself the person chosen by that woman for trading.
Even if she wasn't chosen, at least she could be caught.
"Of course she will. Based on our clues, she will definitely come out on this day." Xiao Xun said confidently.
"So if she doesn't come, will we continue like this?"
"Yeah," Xiao Xun responded in a deep voice, unwilling to give up easily.
If the master goes crazy, the subordinates must go crazy with him! Wang Lun nodded and dispersed to the side.
Ye Li was indeed going out to fetch water today, Xiao Xun was right.
Unfortunately, he didn't expect that Ye Li had already successfully established connections with several refugees and exchanged water from a fixed number of refugees, and the transaction location was not on the refugees' way back.
On the edge of the lonely city, in an abandoned house.
Ye Li poured the sack of sweet potatoes he brought with him onto the ground.
She smiled and said to the four people in front of her, "I've brought what you wanted. It's 40 kilograms of sweet potatoes. Divide them among yourselves. Where's my water?"
The four refugees quickly placed the water in their hands side by side in front of Ye Li.
"Miss Ye, this is your water. I specially chose a big bottle for it."
"Thank you." Ye Li smiled and took the water and put it in the bag.
She asked, "Were you careful when you came here? Don't let anyone else know, otherwise our deal will be ruined."
"Don't worry, we will definitely be careful. It's not easy to get something to eat at a time like this. The sweet potatoes you gave us, Miss Ye, are enough for our family to eat for a long time. We dare not mess up such a good thing."
"Yes, Miss Ye, we will definitely do as you say!" Another refugee said, "We didn't dare to fetch water twice. We were all two people from the same family. I'll fetch water from you today, and my husband will fetch water for our own use."
"Yeah, I promise it's fine. We came a long way to get here."
Ye Li had already put all the water into the bag. She smiled with satisfaction and said, "After working with you several times, of course I trust you. Let's work together for mutual benefit and try our best to get through this difficult time."
"Miss Ye is right, it's a win-win situation for everyone!"
After saying that, Ye Li dragged a bag of water onto her tricycle, then rode into the city. Following the safe route she had summarized, after a few laps, Ye Li returned home.
The water was safely retrieved once again.
When it got dark, the refugees who came to fetch water left.
Only people from the holy city were left on the beach.
"City Lord, we have checked carefully and found no one who has come to fetch water twice." The defending soldier reported.
The soldier disguised as a refugee also reported: "We didn't find anything suspicious either."
This time, they came up empty-handed.
The woman never came.
Wang Lun, who knew the truth, couldn't help but look at Xiao Xun's face frequently. It was very cold and bad, and it seemed that he was in a very bad mood.
