The refugees around them looked at the four carts with curiosity and greed, but they were afraid of the dozen young men and did not dare to approach easily.
Finally, someone couldn't bear it any longer. When the team sat down to rest, two big men tried to sneak up, but were shot in the heart by two arrows and died on the spot.
This act of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was quite effective, causing all the other refugees to flee far away from the group, and no refugee dared to come forward and try to steal the cart again.
Only Xiao Ling'er, her mother and her two sons did not stop and continued to move forward at the original speed. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
Everyone around opened their eyes wide, imagining that the mother and her two children would soon be shot and fall to the ground like the two big men before.
"Boss, do you want to?" A young man in the team looked at Xiao Ling'er and her son getting closer and closer, and asked another young man next to him for instructions.
Shi Lin did not rush to respond to the young man's request, but looked at the mother and her two children who were getting closer and closer to them.
This mother and her two children looked no different from the surrounding disaster victims: they were all thin, ragged, and unkempt.
However, if you look closely, you can see that there are significant differences between them and the refugees.
Most of the victims had dull eyes and almost numb expressions on their faces, and a suffocating atmosphere of despair emanated from their bodies.
However, what was revealed in the eyes of the mother and her two children was exactly the opposite. Shi Lin could clearly feel a strong desire for life in their eyes.
While Shi Lin was observing Xiao Ling'er and her mother and son, Xiao Ling'er was also observing them, and she was paying more attention to him.
He is in his early thirties, very tall, at least 186cm, with dark skin and a resolute face. He looks thin, but he exudes a strong sense of strength.
This man gave Xiao Ling'er a very familiar feeling. After thinking for a while, she remembered that this man's aura was very much like a soldier.
"Sister?" Xiao Yuhao pulled at the corner of his sister's clothes.
"Need not!"
"Find a place to sit down and rest for a while."
When the two sides were only about 300 meters apart, Shi Lin and Xiao Ling'er spoke at the same time, and Shi Lin responded to his younger brother's request.
Xiao Ling'er tactfully stopped the mother and her children from moving forward, and instead found a relatively shady tree to sit under.
Then he took out three pieces of softer bark from the package and started chewing on them.
The disaster victims who were watching the excitement with bated breath let out a sigh of relief, with expressions of disappointment on their faces that things should not have turned out this way.
After Xiao Ling'er sat down, she kept her eyes on her surroundings and found that other victims were also finding places to sit down.
She knew that although these disaster victims looked honest on the surface, they had not given up the idea of stealing the carts.
There is no way, the temptation is too great. Anyone who is not stupid can guess that the things on those carts must be food.
During the past two days, when they sat down to rest, although the cart was surrounded by them, Xiao Ling'er still saw it clearly.
The four carts were all loaded with food and water. One of the carts was filled with water bags, and the other three carts were filled with various grains.
After observation, Xiao Ling'er noticed that the team was very united and disciplined, eating two meals and drinking water once a day.
Adults drink about five or six sips of water each time, children can only drink three or four sips, and young people can drink seven or eight sips. The water is distributed by their village head.
"Big sister, my grandson hasn't eaten for a few days. Can you let him nibble on your bark?"
An old woman with a wrinkled face, bulging eyes, and so thin that she could fall down at any time, was holding a thin boy who looked to be four or five years old. She stood five meters away and looked at Mu Xiya timidly and asked.
