Chapter 698: On the way to escape from famine 4
After hearing Lianyi's words, Old Man Zhang frowned and lowered his voice:
"Are there a lot of people? Can we handle them? If we can't, don't confront them head-on. Speed up and run away first."
"There are five people following us. We don't know if there will be any follow-up, so we'd better speed up and leave them some distance. If those five people dare to attack us, I, my father and uncles can take them down."
Lianyi is still confident about this.
"Okay, let's get going."
Then Old Zhang shouted twice more, and everyone didn't slow down much when they took turns to eat.
Lianyi let Hui Niang and Hu Zi sit on the cart to eat first, then she pushed the cart for Song Dachuan to eat, and finally she ate a little casually.
The group hurried on their way and finally arrived at a dilapidated village in a valley before the sun set. The village was almost destroyed and had obviously been robbed. There was no one in the village, it was like a ghost village.
"We'll stay here temporarily tonight. Lao Er and Da Chuan will go find a house with a courtyard wall. It would be best if it can accommodate all 20 of us."
Old man Zhang turned around and made arrangements.
Zhang Jun and Song Dachuan entered the village from the entrance, holding their self-defense weapons, and began to search room by room. The rest of the people pushed carts and slowly followed behind them and entered the village.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Song Dachuan turned back and said to Old Man Zhang:
"Dad, the village chief's yard is still well preserved and can be lived in."
"Let's go, everyone."
The four carts sped up and entered the center of the village. At this time, Zhang Jun had already entered through the open gate, opened the half-closed doors one by one, and checked them one by one. After finding nothing abnormal, he let everyone in.
Having a place to live is better than sleeping in the wild in fear, so everyone immediately started to clean up the dusty house and then started to make a fire and cook.
The lunch was simple. Everyone was busy on their journey and now they were all hungry and needed to replenish their food. In less than half an hour, everyone had dinner, which was soup noodles and baked potatoes.
Yuanbao also drank enough milk and fell asleep in Liu's arms. Liu ate her confinement meal and wanted to wash the dishes, but was stopped by old Zhang.
"The conditions on the road are limited. Just take care of your confinement and you don't have to worry about the rest."
Although Liu was sitting in the car, she was still frightened. Now that she was safe, she hugged Yuanbao and fell asleep.
Everyone was gathered in the largest main room. The women were sleeping in the inner room, the men were in the outer room, and two adults and one child were keeping watch in the yard.
After everything was settled, everyone quickly fell into a deep sleep. They had only walked ten kilometers that day and had to be on guard against the victims. They were extremely nervous, so they fell asleep as soon as their heads touched the pillow.
It was not until the flames of the fire grew smaller that several dark shadows climbed over the wall and came to the side of the fire. One of them took out a package from his arms and prepared to throw it into the fire.
“Bang!” “Ah!”
Two sounds rang out at the same time, and the next moment Zhang Cheng and Zhang Shi, who had their eyes closed and were pretending to be asleep, jumped up. Zhang Zhong and Zhang Jun, who were in the house, also jumped out. Four torches lit up in the yard, illuminating the entire small yard.
The four Zhang brothers, who should have been fast asleep, were glaring at the man who was knocked to the ground. The other four people who sneaked in were also surrounded by them.
Lianyi then picked up the things that she had dropped on the ground, sniffed them and said:
"This is a drug!"
"Humph! What do you want to do after you charm us?"
Zhang Zhong asked coldly.
"Brothers, we have nowhere to live, so we just want to get some food from you. We didn't hurt anyone, we just wanted to knock you out so we can steal the food. Please, brave men, let us go!"
The person who was knocked to the ground knew how powerful Lian Yi was and immediately gave in.
Old man Zhang also walked out of the house at this time, accompanied by his two eldest grandsons. His face looked very ugly. Although these people did not shout for fighting and killing right away, he felt that they were even more hateful.
"Humph! You don't look like people who have been hungry for a long time."
Lianyi directly exposed these five people.
One of them took a step back, as if trying to break through the encirclement of the Zhang brothers. Lianyi would not give this man a chance to escape and call for help, so she directly shot out the stick in her hand.
The man looked at the flying stick, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to turn around and run, but he overestimated his speed and was pierced through the shoulder blade by the stick and nailed directly to the earth wall.
"ah!"
The screams pierced the night sky and made the remaining people tremble.
"ripple!"
Song Dachuan expressed some disapproval, he felt his daughter was too cruel.
Lian Yi shook her head and said to Zhang Shi:
"Uncle, take off his clothes and see if he is a disaster victim who has been starving for a long time."
Zhang Shi didn't hesitate. He ran over and tore off the man's pudding jacket. Then he saw the tendon muscles on the man's body. This was not the physique that a disaster victim should have.
"Dad, big brother, look!"
Zhang Shi reacted immediately. This person didn't look like a disaster victim with green eyes from hunger.
At this time, the other four people who were surrounded exchanged glances with each other and fled in four directions.
When the Zhang brothers saw this, they subconsciously tried to intercept him. Lian Yi also reacted quickly and said directly to Song Dachuan:
"Dad, please protect me and my brothers."
Then he took a step forward, pulled the stick out from the wall, and knocked the injured man unconscious with a knife.
At this time, the four uncles stopped one person each, and the two sides started to fight. Two of them took out daggers from their bodies, and they were obviously aroused to ferocity.
"Uncles, please don't be soft-hearted. If these people run away, they will definitely attract more people to track us down."
As Lianyi spoke, he used the stick in his hand to knock the daggers out of the two men's hands with two "snaps" and broke their wrists.
After hearing Lianyi's words, the four men did not dare to hold back. With Lianyi's cooperation, they knocked the men to the ground with a few punches, and then tied up the four wailing men.
The four Zhang brothers also rolled in the dirt. After throwing the five people next to the fire, they looked at Old Zhang:
"Dad, how do we deal with this?"
Before Old Zhang opened his mouth, Lianyi spoke first:
“Kill him!”
"Hiss" This time even Old Zhang was startled. In his opinion, these people did not succeed and their crime did not deserve the death penalty.
Lianyi put the stick on the ground and said calmly:
"Today these people have been staring at us. I noticed that they looked at the children in a strange way, especially Shuanzi from my third uncle's family, Yuanbao from my fourth uncle's family, and Huzi from my family. They looked at the children as if they were food.
Considering that they were able to grow a lot of tendon meat during years of disaster, I wonder what you can think of?
When I was working for the Dong family, Miss Dong Er once told me a story that in some places, human flesh is called "two-legged sheep"!
Now everyone's face turned green.
"Lianyi, could it be... could it be... you guessed wrong!"
My dears, there is still money left before 10 o'clock! Please send me your monthly tickets~
