He Lai Di looked at her waving the stick weakly and rolled his eyes to the sky. Who could she scare with just this?
So she quickly pulled out a kitchen knife from the cart and swung it at the people's hands in a few strokes.
What's the difference between robbing people's food and killing them at this time? She will not show mercy.
"Click~"
Several people quickly retracted their hands, and the kitchen knives made a dull sound when they hit the cart.
"Get lost!"
He Lai Di held the kitchen knife ferociously and waved it in a disorderly manner, which actually discouraged those who wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was indeed pitiful that these people were starving to the point of being skin and bones, it would be even more pitiful if they had no food at home.
As a result, the next second, she was pulled off the side of the cart, and then three people carrying three sacks of grain on the cart turned around and ran away.
“Ah~”
Shen Jiaojiao fell to the ground, her hands were scratched, and four or five people stepped on her body.
The strong desire to survive made her get up and rush to her own cart. She sat in the seat she had just sat in and wiped her tears.
He Lai Di was stunned. She didn't expect Chen Jiaojiao to have such explosive power.
Shen Dajiang, who was in front, became a little anxious when he heard his daughter crying. Now was not the time to ask, so he had to keep his head down and continue on his way.
As for Shen Changfeng and Shen Wensong, they were busy pulling the cart and had no time to pay attention to Shen Jiaojiao.
Shen Changyou would ignore this little aunt even more. The little aunt often snatched food from him, so he didn't like her.
Even though Shen Jiaojiao fell off the ox cart, he sat on the ox cart calmly without moving at all.
"Ah, what are you doing? Stop grabbing!"
There was a cart at the back, but it was snatched away by the refugees who rushed over, leaving only an empty cart.
Such situations are not uncommon, and there are still many people who take advantage of the situation.
Chen Li reached into her bag and took out two somewhat wilted spiritual fruits that she had placed outside on purpose.
After all, the weather is so hot now. If you take out a juicy fruit, doesn’t it clearly mean there is something wrong?
"Sister-in-law, eat some fruit and take a rest."
"Thank you, Ali."
Xu Taohua took some pregnancy-preserving medicine and some spiritual fruit. After resting for a while, her complexion looked much better.
After the Sanli Village team gathered, everyone whispered to each other that many families had their food robbed, and if it weren't for the large population in their families, there might be nothing left.
Shen Zhenyuan stood there, counting the families that came to join him one by one. Finally, he waited for another quarter of an hour, but there were still 5 families that had not caught up. Anyway, he looked at the team and gritted his teeth and set off.
At this moment, at the city gate, after the one-sided massacre, blood was everywhere and many refugees' bodies were lying on the ground.
These people were extremely skinny, with sunken nails. Their eyes were wide open before they died, which looked a bit scary.
"Clean these up quickly."
"yes."
After the leader left, the soldiers below began to complain, "These refugees, we told them not to stay at the city gate, but they just wouldn't listen, forcing us to come out in the middle of the day."
"Yeah yeah!"
"Okay, stop whining and clean this place up."
Dozens of soldiers were left behind to put the people on the ground onto carts and then took them to a large pit outside the city.
Before we even got close to the pit, we could smell a strong stench. There were countless mosquitoes and flies around, and there were already quite a few corpses in the pit.
Just looking at the skilled movements of these soldiers, you can tell that this is not their first time.
…
Because of the chaos just now, there were more people on the pipeline. Where there are many people, there will be trouble. Shen Zhenyuan sped up and surpassed many refugees in one afternoon.
At night, they could only rest on both sides of the official road. As soon as the team stopped, Shen Zhenyuan called them away.
"Changshan, I didn't expect the situation in Jingzhou to be worse than Yizhou. It seems we have to hurry and get out of Jingzhou before the water runs out."
Shen Changshan and Lin Hu also looked unhappy. As they went deeper into Jingzhou, they had a general understanding of the situation in Jingzhou.
Most of the trees on both sides of the official road have died, and the small forests have also dried up. Only in the mountains can a trace of green be seen.
Shen Changshan agreed with Shen Zhenyuan's approach. Although their family was not short of water, there were too many people in the team and he could not expose his daughter's secret.
If it really comes to that, he will have no choice but to leave the team with his family and go on his own, so as to keep his daughter's secret.
"Fourth Uncle, we don't know Jingzhou well, and we don't know which is the fastest way out of Jingzhou?"
"It's this road, but halfway there's a mountain road that's nearly three-tenths the way. Bandits used to plague it. I wonder what the situation is like now?"
"Then hurry up and decide which way to go when we get there."
"Okay, I'll go inform everyone later."
When the people in the mountain village learned that they had to save water and hurry on their journey, they all fell silent, feeling a deep sense of helplessness in their hearts, but they understood that the clan leader/village chief was doing it for their own good.
Lin Cuicui cooked a pot of porridge for dinner. They had been traveling all day, and their mouths were dry and chapped.
The sun had already set by now, and Chen Li was thinking about simply separating from the Sanli Village team. It was too inconvenient.
Now we have two horses and two mules, so we can go alone. As for my grandfather and the Xu family, they can follow us. Having more people will deter other refugees.
But there is no need to rush now. We will encounter other conflicts on the road ahead, and we will act accordingly.
Moreover, there are many good people in the Shen family, so we can travel with them for a while.
The horses and mules were chewing hay, and Chenli only quietly fed them water when it was completely dark.
Horses and mules are still very useful, so we must never mistreat them.
Maybe because there are too many refugees gathered around, the air in this area smells bad.
It seems that tonight is destined to be a troubled night.
After dinner, due to the rush of travel today, everyone except the night watchman had fallen into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, when people are most sleepy, the people on guard in Sanli Village also dozed off.
Some people acted quietly. The moon was only half tonight and not very bright, but in the eyes of those who cared, this was enough.
These people did not act as a team, but individually, coming from all directions and heading towards a place they had already spotted.
The targets of these people are all places where there are ox carts, of course including the Shen family.
In the dark night, three refugees came from different directions. They had long been interested in this family. They had horses and mule carts. There must be a lot of food and water in the carts, otherwise they would not be able to feed these livestock.
He moved very gently, had beautiful thoughts, and was very patient. However, just as he placed his hand on the car curtain and put a happy smile on his face, he found that his hand was pinched.
