Robbery and murder are common occurrences in many parts of Northwest China, so it is easy to imagine how difficult life is for ordinary people.
Aside from the lack of food, the rest is man-made disaster.
Compared to man-made disasters, natural disasters are nothing.
The Wada family, consisting of more than ten people, lived a much better life than other families because they had many sons who were hardworking and capable.
Although they didn't live in a large, walled compound, they were still considered well-off in the village.
The family went to bed early that night, just like any other day.
As a result, in the middle of the night, old man Wada was woken up by someone.
In his dazed state, he thought his wife was pushing him.
When he opened his eyes, he found a burly man standing at the head of his bed.
The gleaming broadsword in his hand was pressed against his neck.
Although Vada was scared, he tried his best to remain calm. He knew that his family had been targeted by bad guys.
"Hero, spare my life! Whatever you want, whatever you ask for, this old man can take it."
"Vada said in a trembling voice."
The man with the knife was quite straightforward.
"Hmm, you're the one who knows what's good for you. Unlike your village chief, who just yells and screams, I would have just killed him."
"Tell us where your money is. We'll take the money and leave."
Vada's voice trembled.
"The key, the key is hanging around my wife's neck. Could you please move this big knife a bit? I'll get the key."
This man is fairly trustworthy.
He took the key, opened the cabinet in Wada's house, and took away all the money and some delicious food that Wada's wife had hidden inside.
However, no one else in the Wada family was harmed.
In a typical robbery, shouldn't you search each room one by one? Why are these bandits searching haphazardly?
This is also thanks to the Wada family's effective management of their household.
The bandits had already inquired about the situation; the Wada family was known for its strict discipline, and the children were not allowed to have a single penny.
If someone hides money from the family, they will be left with nothing.
Therefore, the money in the Wada family was all in the hands of the elderly Wada couple.
The bandits themselves opened and searched through the cabinets in the Wada family's house.
More than 60 taels of silver were found inside.
In this year, a peasant family that could save two taels of silver was considered to have a high income. The bandits thought it was reasonable that so much silver could be found in Wada's house.
In such a rushed situation, Vada probably wouldn't have dared to deceive them.
When asked why these bandits were so confident,
They believed that Vada wouldn't deceive them because their entire village was under the watchful eyes of the bandits.
Therefore, taking the money and running away is a characteristic of this group of bandits.
As long as you cooperate obediently, they won't hurt you.
The elderly, women, and children in this village were essentially free labor for these bandits.
Every two or three years, this group of bandits would come and plunder the place.
They don't hurt anyone, they just take money.
Although the people were afraid, they still found some solace in the fact that they were still alive.
Therefore, they did not consider leaving.
In fact, they had become "milk cows" in the eyes of the bandits.
But after experiencing these things many times, ordinary people gradually grasped the patterns.
When Vada was young, he was quite capable and did manage to save some money.
After being robbed by bandits, Wada decided to leave the village.
After spending several days digging for wild vegetables and picking wild fruits in the mountains, he discovered that the village had indeed been placed under surveillance by bandits.
Therefore, it's perfectly normal for them to be robbed.
