Even after returning to the city gate, these people still felt it was unreal, as if they were dreaming. Some even pinched their thighs and cheeks to prove that they were not sleepwalking!
When the pain shot through me, making me gasp for breath, I realized I wasn't dreaming. I ignored the pain and just grinned like an idiot.
If everyone weren't in such a hurry and had no time to look around, just seeing them would make people run far away. It would be terrible to see so many crazy and stupid people on the street in broad daylight!
Something must have happened, otherwise so many strange people wouldn't have been attracted. Run for your life, or you won't be able to escape!
Apart from Su Nanxi and a few others who seemed normal, I didn't feel much surprise. Perhaps it's because they've seen it all before and have seen much more money, so they weren't particularly excited.
Upon arriving at the city gate, they paid the fee and were led in by the people outside.
Because the number of people had been counted in advance, the amount to be paid was known as soon as it was calculated, and the gatekeeper only needed to count the heads of the people coming in one by one.
They were overjoyed to finally be inside.
Without asking any further questions, they all knew that the treasure must have been sold for a lot of money, otherwise where would they have gotten the money to bring so many people in?
Didn't you see how the gatekeepers were grinning from ear to ear? They must have received a lot of silver!
Of course! With their numbers, the total amount is quite large!
They passed without spending a single penny. Isn't that something to be happy about?
There might even be some left over!
But there were many people on the street, so it wasn't convenient to ask too many questions. Therefore, I kept them to myself and didn't ask.
Let's get to a safe place first. If we have money, we'll definitely talk about it then. If we don't have money, we can figure it out then.
We walked for a long time until we reached the main road. We were so tired that we found a secluded spot to rest.
Knowing what everyone was most concerned about, the village chief rested for a while and then briefly told everyone how much money they had exchanged, how much silver they had paid up, and how much was left!
Finally, they asked how everyone planned to use the remaining money.
After the village chief finished speaking, he sat down and started eating and drinking. He knew that it would take some time to come to a conclusion, so he decided to leave it for now.
Anyway, when the time comes, the minority will obey the majority, and he won't have any objections to what is done.
But he guessed that these people probably wanted to divide it up, and the Mo family didn't want to keep it anymore.
Oh well, it doesn't matter what I do!
Su Nanxi really didn't want to manage the money; it was better to avoid trouble!
She's too lazy to deal with too many things, especially money and other matters of interest; nothing she does will be right!
Since it was agreed that the money belonged to everyone, it's better to distribute it as soon as possible after we get the money so that everyone can feel at ease and avoid constantly speculating about it.
Don't get involved in thankless tasks!
Sure enough, the final result of the discussion was to divide the money!
Even though the village chief knew this would be the outcome, he couldn't help but sigh and say, "Then let's divide it up!"
Su Nanxi had no objections or words, and simply took out the silver and handed it to the village chief to check the quantity again.
Because I had anticipated this, I told the manager at the clinic to make sure all the money was in change, just for this moment.
Now it's so convenient, we can just split it directly, how easy is that!
Once it was decided, calculating by headcount was the fairest approach, and no one objected. However, in the end, there were still a few coins that couldn't be divided evenly, so some remained unclaimed.
Su Nanxi said directly, "Village chief, you can keep it. You've worked hard for everyone, so you deserve more for your hard work. I don't think anyone will have any objections!"
Upon hearing this, the others, having received the money, no longer cared about the few coins and all agreed that it was rightfully theirs and that they should keep it for themselves.
The village chief didn't make a fuss; it was only a few coins, and it wouldn't be right to give it to anyone else, so he accepted it.
"When you're out and about, don't flaunt your wealth to avoid unnecessary trouble! Everyone, keep your belongings safe and discreet!" Su Nanxi reminded everyone.
Upon hearing this, everyone lost interest in appreciating the silver and quickly put their own silver away.
They almost got carried away. This was outside, not at home. Nobody knew who was around. If they found out they were dividing the silver, they would be in big trouble!
At times like this, talking about humanity is too lofty. When it comes to survival, who cares about your life or death?
When there's something to grab, human life becomes worthless!
The village chief felt a chill run down his spine. Luckily, Su Nanxi reminded him in time, otherwise, something terrible could have happened!
Someone is coming from not far away!
If others also paid money to pass, then they probably don't have anything valuable left. They still need to survive, and if they don't have anything left, they will naturally look for it elsewhere!
Making money is not an easy task at this time; don't even think about it!
If you can't earn it, then there's only one way: rob it!
If someone's watching you, that's going to be really difficult!
If things are peaceful, who wants to fight and compete?
Everyone fell silent. They had rested enough and were ready to leave!
They might be able to win because they outnumber us, but there's no need!
Nothing happened along the way, but then something did happen.
On the way, they encountered someone lying on the ground kneeling and begging for help. One of them took pity on the person and threw him a wild vegetable pancake. The person immediately jumped up without any sign of dying. He took the pancake and, not satisfied, went up to ask for more!
People nearby saw that there were things to pick up and rushed over, shouting that they should give them some food and help them!
Some people even egged them on, saying that they must have stolen something from someone else, which is why they had so many goods, and instigated others to go up and rob them!
They say they're doing this to rid the people of a scourge, but these people who steal from others are a menace. Don't leave them anything!
Those people were already driven to madness by the hardships of life, and this outburst completely brainwashed them. They realized how miserable they were and why these people could live so well. Their malice could no longer be contained and was released instantly.
So, a swarm of people rushed over desperately. In order to grab the good stuff, people who were barely breathing just a second ago suddenly became energetic and used brute force they had never used before!
The person who gave the cakes was filled with remorse; her act of kindness had brought utter disaster upon her own people!
Seeing everyone resisting desperately, the people in front were beaten until their faces were covered in bruises, and they had nowhere to cry!
The village chief was furious. He warned everyone every day to put away their kindness and stop being so charitable. They were barely able to protect themselves, so they shouldn't pretend to be compassionate. In the current situation, they had to be selfish!
Otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble for everyone!
Why can't these people hear? Why can't they listen?
Is it because you've just made some money that you've become arrogant and forgotten where you are?
Now things are really messed up, and nobody knows how to handle this!
Those people were determined to rob, and they didn't care about the lives of others at all!
"Ah! What's that? Get out of the way!"
