Ah Kun saw his cousin glaring at him, and he felt innocent. After all, they had only told him to keep an eye on whether the other party had left, not to count the number of people. But at this moment, he didn't dare to say anything. He knew that the boss on the other side was ruthless and wouldn't let him off just because he was his cousin's brother.
When Meidi saw her cousin still standing there dumbfounded, she quickly winked at him to leave. This time, Ah Kun finally snapped out of it and quickly turned and ran out.
"Brother Dong, do you think the sleeping potion that Lao Su and the others mentioned is as miraculous as they say? You know, Pinghe Village is a large village in the area. With only a few hundred of us, it's really going to be difficult to take on a village of over a thousand people."
"So you women are all talk and no action. You think I actually believed them? They're just using us." Dong Ge put his arm around her shoulder and played with her natural curly hair.
“We can’t just keep drifting around like this. This Pinghe Village is the perfect base camp, with all the right conditions.”
Meidi was stunned by his decision. She sat up straight and turned to look at him. "Brother Dong, don't forget there are still troops around here. How can we possibly stay here? Didn't we agree to grab the loot and leave?"
“You’re scared now?” Dong Ge chuckled, as if mocking her timidity. “Once we get into the village, with its high walls and land, we can have a steady supply of food as long as we control the villagers. As for the troops, do you think they’d still come after us in this situation? The refugees pouring in from all sides are enough to give them a hard time.”
At this point, Dong Ge paused and patted the thing on his waist, "Besides, we're not without a fight back. You can just wait to become my bandit queen."
Medi still felt uneasy and was about to say something more when someone else rushed in. It seemed she would have to set some rules for them in the future, otherwise, this constant coming and going was too much of a lack of privacy.
"Boss, those people from Pinghe Village have already headed towards the county town. When should we make our move?"
If the monkeys were here, they would find that this person is an old acquaintance of theirs.
"How many people did they send this time?" Meidi asked, trying to save face for her cousin.
"I haven't calculated the exact number, but it should be close to two hundred people."
Seeing that revenge was not far off, Su Xun couldn't help but reveal a bloodthirsty smile. He would repay the village of Pinghe for the drug they had taken from him, tenfold.
"Are you sure these one or two hundred people are the main force of their Pinghe Village?"
"That should be about right. A village, besides the elderly, women, and children, has about this many people. Those who remain in the village now are probably the ones with weaker immune systems. You know, because there are troops stationed here, their sense of security isn't very strong."
Ever since Su Xun was rescued by Boss Dong and his gang, he had been plotting revenge against those who had caused them great harm. They exaggerated the amount and effects of the sleeping potion, which lured Boss Dong to come with them.
Unexpectedly, the geographical location and conditions of Pinghe Village made Boss Dong even more interested, which is why he was willing to fully cooperate with them.
"What about that new village next to them? I heard there are still troops stationed there." Meidi really didn't want Dongge to be too reckless.
"Tell our men to try not to make a fuss when they pass through Xin San Village. Once we take Pinghe Village, we won't have to worry about Xin San Village."
Although Su Xun looked down on Mei Di for being a woman and giving orders, she was Dong Ge's darling, and was always referred to as his wife when they were introduced. He just didn't know if they were originally a couple.
"Tell the brothers to get ready. Have a good rest today, eat and drink your fill, and we'll move out when it gets dark." Dong Ge's previous plan was to wait for the able-bodied men of Pinghe Village to leave, then take over Pinghe Village in one fell swoop, and then ambush the returning troops on the way.
Su Xun responded and went out to make the announcement. After he left, Meidi looked at Dong Ge with concern and said, "I don't know why, but I feel like something's not quite right about this. Maybe we should leave here and not get involved. The supplies we collected before are enough for us to live comfortably for a while."
"What's there to be afraid of with Brother Dong around? Besides, we're in a chaotic world now. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the laws haven't been enforced yet and make a fortune? They say the timid starve while the bold get rich. Think about how we've worked ourselves to the bone just to make ends meet. This disaster is our opportunity."
If Dong Ge doesn't provide these brothers with enough material comforts and enjoyment, who will follow them in the future?
Seeing that Meidi was still a little worried, Boss Dong comforted her, "Don't worry, you don't need to come with us. I'll arrange for a few brothers to wait for you here until I've finished dealing with things on my end, then I'll come and pick you up."
"Forget it, I'll still follow you. Since I've already decided on you, we'll definitely share the good times and the bad." Meidi knew there was no turning back on the path they were on, so she decided to steel herself and stick with him to the end.
After walking for most of the day without seeing any ambushes, Wu Ge and Captain Liu guessed that their main objective was Pinghe Village. They immediately split into two teams. One team continued towards the county town, while also notifying several villages near the town and Yun Zhizhong. The other team took a detour via a side road, intending to enter Xin San Village from another direction and then return to Pinghe Village.
"Be smart, everyone. Try to stay behind Dong Ge and the others. Don't rush ahead recklessly." Su Xun secretly instructed his group of brothers, who were his foundation.
"Brother Su, are we going to follow Boss Dong and his gang from now on?" Xiao Shan didn't like Boss Dong and his gang's way of doing things; they were too arrogant and domineering.
"No, we'll break away when we find an opportunity. If they cause trouble so openly, they'll get into trouble sooner or later." Su Xun and his group had always committed their crimes secretly because they knew the military was still guarding the area. If they ran into them, things would definitely get out of hand.
And most importantly, Su Xun has been the boss for so long, and now he has to act like a grandson in front of Dong Ge, which is really hard for him to get used to.
"If things don't look good, we'll get out of here as soon as possible." Su Xun began to whisper about the evacuation point, seemingly unsure of Dong Ge's plans.
