However, some people hold different views.
They frowned, their eyes full of anxiety and unwillingness, and they kept rubbing their hands, as if this could relieve their inner anxiety.
One of the young and strong guys clenched his fists, stood up, and said in a loud voice: "I think we should run away now before anyone notices us.
Staying here for a moment longer means more danger. No matter how many people are guarding outside, if we fight, we might be able to break out and regain our freedom. It's much better than waiting here to be slaughtered."
Some people were hesitant, with a look of helplessness on their faces.
They looked at Yao Qingshuang for a while, then looked at those who advocated running away now. Their eyes were wandering and their lips were trembling slightly, as if they had something to say but didn't know where to start.
One of the women was pulling at the corner of her clothes tightly, wrinkling them. Her eyes darted back and forth among the people's faces. It was as if there were two little people fighting in her heart, and she couldn't decide who to listen to.
Just when everyone was thinking about their own things and the atmosphere was a little tense, suddenly, a man with shifty eyes stood out from the crowd.
His eyes kept rolling around, revealing a cunning look.
He stretched his neck and squeezed out of the crowd, almost bumping into the person next to him.
The person who was hit glared at him in dissatisfaction, but he didn't care at all. He just said loudly with an anxious look on his face: "I think we should run away quickly. Why should we listen to a woman?
What good ideas could she have? We are all grown men, we should take this opportunity to leave quickly, are we really going to sit here and wait for death?"
After saying this, he looked around deliberately, his eyes sweeping over those who had previously expressed their desire to leave quickly, with obvious encouragement in his eyes.
As he spoke, he waved his arms as if to cheer everyone up, as if he wanted them to stand up with him and rush out to escape at this moment.
A few people who were originally tempted by the idea of escaping immediately had their minds completely tilted after hearing the passionate encouragement from the shifty-eyed man, and immediately decided to follow him.
They stood up carefully, crouched down, and moved towards the door quietly.
The young man in the lead had beads of sweat on his forehead. He swallowed nervously, stretched out his slightly trembling hand, and slowly placed it on the door handle.
Several other people also gathered behind him, not daring to breathe, their eyes fixed on the door, their eyes filled with fear of the unknown and hope of escaping the predicament.
When the young man gently pushed open the door, the door hinge made a slight creaking sound. The sound was particularly harsh in the eerily silent environment, and it scared them so much that they froze.
Fortunately, the sound did not attract any movement, so they slowly stuck their heads out to look.
After discovering that there was no one outside, several people were suddenly delighted. Their originally tense expressions instantly relaxed, and they showed irrepressible joy on their faces.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" The man with shifty eyes lowered his voice and urged anxiously, turning around and calling his family members.
I saw his family members also getting up from the ground, with the same nervous and excited looks on their faces. They followed him and quickly and quietly slipped out the door, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that some people had already run out, the rest of the people suddenly became anxious.
Their eyes revealed panic and confusion, and it was as if there were a group of ants crawling in their hearts, constantly weighing the pros and cons of running or not.
Some people paced back and forth, muttering to themselves, "Should we run or not?"
Some of them tightly grasped the clothes of their relatives, their fingers turning white from the force, and their eyes stared straight at the door that had been pushed open, as if they wanted to see some clues from the dark outside the door.
Seeing this, a few more people could no longer hold back.
They looked at each other and saw the same eagerness and desire in each other's eyes.
So, they also followed the example of the people before them, quietly opened the door, stuck their heads out to observe, and when they saw that there was no movement outside for the time being, they also prepared to wait for the right moment to run out.
At this moment, the people of Sujia Village all turned their eyes to the village chief, their eyes full of anxiety and expectation, waiting for the village chief to give orders.
The village chief frowned and stood there with a serious expression. His eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and he was calculating quickly in his mind.
He knew very well that his order was related to the life and death of the entire village, so he did not dare to be careless and had to think carefully before making any decision.
Just as everyone was still hesitating about whether to run or not, suddenly, a burst of noise broke the heart-wrenching stalemate.
"Manager Wang, catch a few of those who are trying to escape!" The voice came from afar, revealing a sense of complacency, as if some great prey had been caught.
Then, a cold voice rang out: "Humph, you want to run! Deal with it according to the rules!"
There was no warmth in Manager Wang's voice. It was as cold as the frost in the dark night. Every word seemed to carry a biting chill, which made people shudder.
Yao Qingshuang's heart skipped a beat, and a feeling of unease instantly surged over her.
Her eyes widened, her face filled with fear, and she kept thinking in her mind: "How should I deal with it? Are they going to silence me?"
When she thought of this, she felt a chill on her back, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to her forehead.
She couldn't help but take another closer look at the villagers around her who also had expressions of panic on their faces, and she felt more and more that these people were definitely not easy to get along with.
From distributing porridge and medicine at the beginning, to abducting everyone here, and now talking about dealing with those who escaped, each and every one of these things shows the cruelty and viciousness of these people.
What conspiracy are they planning? Why do they want to do such cruel things to these poor refugees?
The more Yao Qingshuang thought about it, the more frightened she became. However, at the moment, she had no other options and could only pray silently in her heart that nothing worse would happen.
When the other people in the room heard the noise and the cold words of Manager Wang, they were so frightened that they trembled all over.
Those who were still hesitating whether to run out no longer dared to have any thoughts at this moment. They were all frozen in place as if they were cast under a spell.
