Chapter 139: Sharing the loot together
Shen Qing stood behind the crowd, watching the dog-eat-dog fight with great interest.
But she wasn't worried even if she was standing in front, because she was wearing a facekini, so who could recognize her?
"You're hiding it for such a long time without even finding a good excuse. You actually said it was a ghost. Ha, I've only heard of ghosts looking for substitutes, but I've never heard of ghosts liking yellow and white things!"
"Well, now that we've been caught, I don't believe you can withstand their torture! Your days of suffering are still to come."
Shen Qing agreed with the last sentence. Song Laoer couldn't explain it even if he had a mouth. He was kept here just to take the blame.
Otherwise, if both of them died, both the people who escaped and the people sent by the government would investigate, and they would also be suspected and unable to explain themselves, but as long as Song Lao Er was there, everything would be fine.
He killed his companions and wanted to keep the property for himself. He didn't say anything, so everyone thought he was going to die anyway, so he might as well be buried with his property as a secret.
However, she did not agree with the previous torture, and they would not torture her.
The next moment, Master Jiang said, "No matter where your property is, you all need to stay together before we go and ask the officials to come back. Once they arrive, tell them how much you have and where it is!"
Song Lao Er breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that at least he would not suffer any additional hardship before the officials came. Then he thought that this was only temporary, as the methods of those officials must be many times more cruel than those of these farmers!
He lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and thought of a way to escape. Just as he raised his head and was about to speak, he heard the old man in front of him condescendingly order: "Second brother, come and stuff their mouths!
Everyone, listen carefully. You won't die of starvation if you don't eat for a day. And if you have the energy to resist after eating, it will only hurt your wives, children, and the elderly! Remember, don't be soft-hearted!
"I heard it clearly!"
Everyone present responded in unison.
Song Lao Er was dumbfounded.
How can a group of rural people have such strict discipline!
They really underestimated the enemy before.
Boss Sun was also filled with endless regret. He had failed! He could only blame himself for having succeeded too easily earlier, which had led him to underestimate the enemy.
But who could have imagined that a group of ordinary farmers would be aware of their intentions and set up an ambush?
He still couldn't figure out why those brothers who were wading across the river fainted in the river...

Mr. Jiang Er quickly selected the candidates.
Jiang Tian and his wife Zhao Mingyue, Zhao Lao Da and his wife Wang Cui, with Feng Meng, Qin Dazhu and Zhou Sanshan.
The Hong and Guan families had few capable people, so they were not selected.
The people who were chosen were confused and didn't know what the village chief was taking them to do after the matter was over.
When we saw a dozen cute donkeys with shiny fur, their mouths were wide open enough to fit an egg!
"This is the donkey Shen Qing risked her life to steal. What she and I are saying is that we shouldn't hand it over to the government, but keep it for each of our families to divide. What do you think?"
The young people reacted quickly. Feng Meng was the first to speak up: "Even if we don't divide it among each household, we won't hand it over to the government!"
What's the point of handing it over to the government? They won't get any benefit at all, but if it belongs to my aunt, with her generosity, they will at least get some benefit!
Zhou Sanshan didn't expect that such an important matter would be known by those who had just joined!
And also took their family share.
That was a donkey, worth at least ten taels of silver. It was such a large sum of money that he gave it away just like that.
This truly treats them as part of the village, without any sense of exclusion.
His heart was warm, his eyes were hot, and he said with a thick nasal voice: "I listen to you! No matter how we divide it or whether we divide it or not, I have no opinion!"
Qin Dazhu said innocently: "Me too!"
The young man's first reaction when he saw the donkey was that it was valuable;
But in the eyes of the older generation, he is a real strong laborer!
With a donkey, you can plow the fields, carry food, go into the city...even in the current situation of fleeing famine and carrying belongings, it can all be of great use.
Jiang Tian and Zhao Mingyue own donkeys, and they know the various advantages of a large animal. Zhao Lao Da and Wang Cui don't have a donkey, but they have eyes to see and know that families with large animals have a much easier life than they do. Now, can they also own a donkey?
Are you qualified to raise livestock?
"Don't worry, Village Chief. We won't tell anyone. We'll take it to the coffin, or else we'll be struck by lightning!"
When the others heard this, they all followed suit and took the oath.
Master Jiang waited until everyone present had finished swearing their oath before continuing, "Alright, since we've all agreed, then take your rations and we'll reunite after we pass Anping City. Be extremely careful along the way!"
"good!"
Everyone's blood was boiling, even more excited than when they were fighting the enemy before.
Fighting an enemy is usually a time of nervousness, but this time it was joy! A new donkey suddenly appeared in the family overnight, so who wouldn't be happy? They were so happy they almost jumped for joy!
Without wasting any more time, everyone immediately returned to pack some fried noodles.
After coming over again, he rode on the donkey and led another one, and set off on a long detour without any delay.
Others only knew that the village chief had asked some people to do something. As for what it was, they didn't ask unless the village chief told them. Anyway, the biggest gain was that there were no casualties tonight!
There were more than a hundred men on the other side, and they suffered heavy casualties, while on their side, there were no dead or even injured!
What else do they want?
Village chief Shen Qing, now that Huo Bing is here, just let them do whatever they want. He is not smart anyway and can't think of a better way.
After everything was cleaned up, a large iron pot of millet and red date porridge was cooked on the fire. This was public food and everyone in the village could drink it.
Huo Bing divided the people into two groups. One group drank the hot millet and red date porridge and then went to sleep; the rest of the people guarded the kidnapped people and waited for the second pot, and then switched to the other group at breakfast.
The two groups of people did as they were told, in a chaotic yet orderly manner without any noise.
Boss Sun and Second Brother Song looked at the orderly scene before them, their hearts sinking to the bottom.
They had thought that they might be able to escape during the chaos and noise, but now their hands and feet were tied, their mouths were stuffed with weed balls, and they were being guarded by separate people. Even when the guards had to eat or urinate, there were others to replace them... How could they possibly escape!
It was not unfair for them to lose when they met such a group of people.
Boss Sun looked at Old Second Song with resentment. It was all his fault! Old Second Song had chosen the targets. Look at what he had chosen.
Otherwise, he would have a luxurious donkey cart, fine clothes, gold, silver, and jewelry... Life would have been so much easier than it could have been. But now it's all over...
Song Lao Er turned his head away and pretended not to see it.
He was originally a scholar and had read two military books, but he had only read them. How could he understand the details if he had never experienced them?
Only this group of rough guys believe in him!
He can't be blamed for what happened today, it's all their fault for their poor vision.
Shen Qing ignored the commotion outside, got into the carriage, closed the curtains, and began to check the harvest of the night!
