Everything went smoothly at the beginning. Some officers and soldiers were screening the refugees below to see if they were eligible to board the ship, while the rest of the officers and soldiers were on the ship shouting at them to go in.
Su Man did not get on the boat like last time. There were young and middle-aged people on the boat and there was no need to worry. What she was worried about were the elderly and children under the boat.
Perhaps this was the last wave, and the screening this time was not as strict as before. One of the officers and soldiers noticed Su Man pulling two children and came over to pull her.
"What are you dawdling for? Get on board!"
Su Man was stunned for a moment, and she winked at Du Yuan to signal him not to come over.
She smiled and said, "Brother officer, I have two children here. I can't bear to leave them. I'll go with them on the boat at the back."
The officer was about to get angry when he suddenly saw Zhou Pingping being led by Su Man.
Zhou Pingping was a beauty, with delicate features and pretty face before she was even ten years old.
The officer who originally wanted Su Man to abandon the two children suddenly changed his mind and said kindly, "Forget it, I see it's not easy for you as a woman, you three should get on the boat together."
Seeing the officers and soldiers staring at Zhou Pingping with their drooling eyes, Su Man knew what she didn't understand. She blocked the officers' sight without leaving any trace, and said with a grateful look, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."
She couldn't refuse. Everyone was trying to get on board right now. If she refused, there must be something fishy going on.
Grandma Zhou was extremely worried, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only make gestures to make Pingping and Anan obey.
After the officers and soldiers threw Su Man and the other two up, the officer next to them frowned and said, "That little girl is fine, but why did you let that kid go up there?"
The officers and soldiers didn't care. "We'll just go up and throw him into the river. Otherwise, what if his mother and sister don't get on the boat and we leave the little bastard behind?"
"Haha, you are still thoughtful."
With this example, even Xiaolan, Daya and Erya were caught and thrown up.
However, the officers and soldiers are selective in arresting people. They will only show mercy to women who are carrying children.
I think she is afraid that men will cause trouble, so she picks on the weak.
These beasts have already figured out women's hearts. On the way, they just need to threaten the mothers with their children, and they will behave themselves so as not to resist too much and spoil their fun.
In this way, Su Man's family, who had originally planned to stay with the whole family, were left with only Zhao Yuru, Du Yuan and Grandma Zhou.
On board
As soon as Su Man came up, she smelled a foul stench mixed with a smell of blood, which made Zhou Pingping retch frequently.
The old patriarch didn't come up. A man who looked about 70% like the old patriarch squeezed next to Su Man and whispered, "When are we going to start?"
Su Man looked around. At this time, almost everyone who should have come aboard had done so, and officers and soldiers also boarded the ship one after another.
However, what was strange was that there were still more than twenty officers and soldiers at the dock who did not board the ship, but were guarding the dock below.
This is the last wave of refugees. They stayed behind with the intention of returning to report.
Although there are still many refugees left, they are all old, weak and sick. If they fight, they will definitely be no match for the armed and powerful officers and soldiers.
Su Man's original plan was to wait for all the officers and soldiers to come up before taking action, but looking at the current situation, it was no longer possible.
Seeing the officers and soldiers below trying to untie the ropes, Su Man knew he couldn't wait any longer and growled, "Now!"
"Get started!"
The man shouted, and the refugees who had been huddled in the boat jumped up.
While the officers and soldiers were still not able to react, the refugees leaning against the boat formed groups of two and directly grabbed the soldiers' legs and threw them into the river.
One after another, like dumplings.
They had discussed in advance that in order to seize the ship as quickly as possible, they had to take the enemy by surprise.
After some officers and soldiers were left in the river, they reacted and quickly gathered together.
The leader shouted, "You are all rebels, right?! Going against the government is a capital crime!"
Some of the refugees in the crowd were unaware of the situation, and when they heard this, they turned pale with fear.
"What's going on? What are you doing?"
"The government is sending us south, isn't it? Why is there a riot?"
Su Man sneered, "Whether to send us to the south or find a place to sell us, you know it yourself!"
The trick was discovered, and the officers and soldiers exchanged glances with each other, and the leader also looked panicked.
"You...you're talking nonsense!"
Seeing this, the refugees understood what was going on and started fighting together with Suman and his group.
The situation on board was in full swing, and there were dangers lurking under the ship as well.
Just as Su Man worried, there were mostly elderly people and children under the boat, and the situation was much more dangerous than theirs.
However, the place where they could disembark was blocked by officers and soldiers, making it impossible to go down to rescue.
Su Man picked up a knife and took advantage of the chaos to kill a few people.
Just as another sneak attacking soldier fell, a shrill cry was heard behind him.
"grandmother!"
Zhou Pingping, who was protected by Su Man behind her, screamed at the top of her lungs.
Looking in the direction she shouted, Grandma Zhou and Zhao Yuru were being chased and hacked by two soldiers with knives.
Du Yuan was entangled on the dock and couldn't be rescued. His eyes were red with anxiety, "Let them go!"
Grandma Zhou had poor legs and feet, and she tripped after running a few steps.
She pushed Zhao Yuru away, "Run, kid!"
Zhao Yuru refused. Seeing the soldiers' swords slashing towards them, she actually hugged Grandma Zhou and protected her with her body.
Zhao Yuru remembered Su Man's words clearly. If Su Man was not around, she would take care of Grandma Zhou and the two children on behalf of Sister Man.
Seeing the tip of the knife stabbing down, Du Yuan almost went crazy.
"Yuru!"
"Bang"
There was a loud bang.
The soldier's body trembled, and he looked at the bloody holes spreading across his body in disbelief.
