"Hand it over quickly!"
The leader yelled again, and the rough voice echoed in the cabin.
The dozen people on the boat were silent, and there was no movement.
Among these people, except for a few like Song Ruan who went to Wadi Town for other reasons, most of the others dreamed of making a fortune there.
Because Wadi Town has natural mines and rich resources, although it is very chaotic and known as a lawless place, it is also a paradise for getting rich by mining and gambling on stones, and many people will take risks to get rich overnight.
Therefore, most of these dozen people value the money in their pockets. Besides, if they go to a new place, they cannot survive without some money.
"Don't make me say it a second time, hand it over now!" the leader shouted again and raised the iron weapon in his hand as a threat.
The leader walked up to the first person in front and motioned him to hand over his belongings. The man was reluctant at first, then under the fierce intimidation, he tremblingly picked up the luggage and searched for it.
The leader became impatient and immediately swung the iron rod in his hand and hit him directly on the head. The man immediately bled.
"Ah!!" Everyone who witnessed this scene was terrified and could not help but step back, fearing that the iron rod would fall on their heads.
The crowd suddenly became chaotic. One of them seized the opportunity, jumped off the boat, and jumped into the river with a splash.
The leader took a look and a hint of pity flashed in his eyes, but he didn't chase after him.
Although the river is not turbulent, it is difficult to swim to the shore without external aid, not to mention that you won't be able to enter the town after you reach the shore.
Others did not follow suit. Instead, after making an example of someone else, they all began to hand over their property promptly in order to save their lives.
Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, Song Ruan lowered her voice and asked Xiang Yin beside her.
"If there were no leaders like these, would you be able to get into Wadi Town after reaching the shore?"
Xiang Yin shook his head: "No, to enter Wadi Town, we need someone to pick us up there. Why are you asking this?"
Hearing this, Song Ruan sighed.
"What are you whispering about?" Others were handing in their things, and they were whispering to each other. The contrast was very obvious, so they were noticed immediately.
The leader came over with a fierce look on his face: "Are you planning to do something tricky?"
"No, I just want to hand in the supplies quickly. Here, I give you all my things. I just need to leave a cup for drinking water."
Song Ruan had a good attitude and directly handed over the only bag he had.
Moreover, he took the initiative to check his shoes, socks, and trouser pockets, to show that he really had nothing to hide.
The leader was quite satisfied with her behavior, but...
"Why do you only have this much?"
Apart from the water cup she was holding, there was only a steamed bun and a few cents in the bag.
Are you sending away beggars?
When others heard that Song Ruan was so poor, they couldn't help but look at her, feeling a little envious.
If they were that poor, they wouldn't feel so bad about handing over the money.
In particular, there is a fat man inside. He is the richest one and he probably brought his money to gamble on stones there.
Song Ruan didn't know what others were thinking, she just answered: "Brothers, I came all the way here to seek refuge with my relatives, and I have spent all my money, and this is all I have left. If you don't like it, can you give it back to me?"
Her tone was very pitiful, but with her dirty, dark face and tattered clothes, it was hard to feel pity for her.
"Stop talking nonsense! Get out of the way!"
The leader impatiently pushed her aside, and then turned his target to Xiang Yin who was standing next to her.
Xiang Yin is well-dressed and looks bright and handsome, and at first glance he looks like a fat sheep!
"Hand the stuff over now!"
Xiang Yin had a gloomy face, but after thinking for a long time he did not take any action.
It’s not that he couldn’t beat these people, but Song Ruan’s question just now made him realize that he couldn’t enter the town without the help of these people, so he could only endure it.
"Hey! Why are you taking my watch?"
He could tolerate everything else, but, "How can I tell the time without a watch?"
"I don't care how you tell time, I just know watches are valuable!"
The leader moved very quickly and took off the watch on his hand while speaking.
Xiang Yin’s face turned pale in an instant.
Song Ruan admired the changing colors on his face with interest.
When Xiang Yin saw her half-smile, he felt even more aggrieved and wanted to beat all the people in front of him to death.
After robbing everyone, the wooden boat started moving again and reached the shore half an hour later.
But the wooden boat didn't come to the shore for a long time and just circled around the shore.
"Why don't you go ashore?" someone asked.
The leader immediately retorted, "You know nothing! You can go up when the time comes!"
After the leader said this, everyone had no choice but to sit quietly in the boat and wait.
We waited until the sky was just beginning to lighten.
Some people say that this is the time when you are most likely to feel sleepy and most likely to be exploited.
