So the few little followers following Li the Butcher and others started a game of chasing each other.
It was when they started running that Li the Butcher and his men really discovered something was wrong.
They were really being targeted, but luckily they were discovered early. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Li the butcher and Shi Lei were running in the front and saw Village Chief He Qiang and the others from afar. That was where they had just rested.
They were still lying or sitting on the ground to rest, regardless of their appearance. Soon, the situation of Li the Butcher and his group also attracted the attention of He Qiang, the village chief.
Without any hesitation, he shouted to the people on the ground:
"Hurry up, you guys! Go and pick up Li the Butcher and the others! They're running here now.
I see someone is chasing them from behind him, hurry up and catch them, hurry up! Hurry up! "
Village chief He Qiang was very anxious and spoke very quickly. He saw from a distance that someone seemed to be following Li the butcher and the others, so he was very anxious.
The other people in the village jumped up after hearing this. Although they were a little hungry, at this time...
They really couldn't be cowards any longer. That was their life-saving food! If it was taken away like this, how would they survive?
Without the village chief saying anything, dozens of people rushed towards Li the Butcher and his group.
When Li the butcher and his companions saw the villagers coming towards them, they were so grateful.
But his steps did not slow down at all, and he continued to rush over here.
Because the people behind them were so close to them, if they were slow, they would definitely be caught up.
But they didn't dare to shout loudly for fear of attracting other people's attention, so they could only wait for the villagers to come and pick them up.
Some of the villagers who ran faster soon came to Li the butcher and his companions. Li the butcher consciously handed some of the things in his arms to them.
This way they can relieve the pressure, and the people behind them will see a group of people in front rushing over.
Feeling something was wrong, he stopped chasing and braked his forward movement in time.
They turned around and started running back, fearing that those people were really here to retaliate against them.
"Everyone, retreat quickly! There are too many of them. If we confront them, we will definitely end up in trouble.
Let's retreat first and look for other places to eat later. I'm exhausted from running just now."
The man who was leading the group was so wet he could be described as "crying like rain."
The weather was already hot, and they were sweating all over from running, just like it had just rained, their whole bodies were soaked.
Seeing that the situation was not good, they asked others to stop in time and did not continue chasing.
The others also saw Li the Butcher, but because they were outnumbered and powerful, they did not dare to rush forward.
So he turned around and ran back, fearing that Li the Butcher and the others would really catch up and beat them up, which would be a loss.
“Brother Li, it seems they are no longer chasing us and have already run back.
It was a close call just now, luckily we ran fast. Otherwise, we would have been targeted again, and if we were caught, the consequences would be unpredictable. "
Shi Lei saw the person behind him and turned to run back. He also stopped and did not run anymore.
He was tired from running just now, and now he was a little out of breath and gasping for breath.
But he still told Li the butcher about the situation of the people behind.
Butcher Li was now sweating all over, his body and face were covered in sweat.
Fortunately, he usually goes up the mountain to hunt, which is considered exercise, so his condition is not as exaggerated as Shi Lei's.
He was also panting, half squatting to slow down. He nodded slightly after hearing Shi Lei's words. Then he said weakly:
"Brother Shi, thank goodness you reminded us just now, so we escaped the disaster in time.
If we find out too late and are caught up, we won’t be able to eat enough.
It seems that we have to be more careful when we walk on the road in the future, so as not to be easily spotted.
Let's go back to the village now. The village chief and his men must be waiting anxiously. Luckily, the village chief sent someone to pick us up, otherwise, the consequences would have been very serious."
Butcher Li finished these words while panting, and then slowly walked towards the village.
The group of people from the village who had just come to pick them up saw what Li the Butcher and his men were holding.
Everyone was swallowing hard, wishing they could have a few bites right away.
Since they had only eaten tree roots before, they didn't have much dry food left.
I'm already hungry now, and I can't wait to eat.
But this thing was bought with everyone's pooled money, and they didn't dare to do anything rash, so they could only follow Li the butcher and walk towards the village.
When Village Chief He Qiang saw that they were safe and sound, the tension that had just been taut relaxed.
Fortunately, he had good vision and saw that they were being chased, so he called for help in time.
Otherwise, I'm afraid all these things will be lost. I saw Li the butcher and the others walking in front.
Village chief He Qiang leaned on a stick, smiled slightly, and said:
"Looks like you guys bought some food. That's great. I saw it from a distance just now.
You guys are running this way, and there are people chasing you, so you should ask them to come pick you up in time. Are your things all there, right?"
Village Chief He Qiang looked carefully at Li the Butcher and the others several times. He saw the packages in their arms, and there was a faint fragrance wafting out of them.
He was very happy in his heart. He finally bought some food and could last for a while.
After Li the Butcher recovered, he took a deep breath, his brows relaxed, and he turned to the crowd and said:
"Everyone, please rest assured. We have already completed the tasks assigned to us by the village chief. We have already purchased everything. The village chief will then distribute the items.
Everyone can come here to collect what they need, no matter how much they spent.
But there is one more thing I need to mention. We took 50 water bags, but it cost ten cents to fill a bag with water.
So we discussed it and decided to buy only 40 water bags, ten of which were empty.
If you see someone who needs water, take more. If you don't, take less. It's just about helping each other."
After Li the Butcher finished speaking, he handed a water bag to the village chief and then waited for the village chief to distribute these things.
Everyone stared at Butcher Li and the oil-paper bag in their arms. It was as if they wanted to poke a hole in the bag.
