At this time, the sun was scorching the earth mercilessly, dust was flying on the official road, and a team was moving slowly forward.
Mo Feng in the team was moving slowly with the team's pace. Suddenly, he seemed to hear a faint unusual sound.
The sound seemed to come from the distant mountains and forests, vague and floating, like someone was talking in a low voice, and there seemed to be some messy footsteps.
At this moment, the official road was already crowded with refugees displaced by the war.
Men, women, young and old, all looked tired and frightened. Some of them were carrying simple bags, while others were supporting their frail relatives as they rushed forward.
Shouts, cries, and complaints continued to be heard from the crowd. All kinds of noisy sounds intertwined together, just like boiling water, so loud that it gave people a headache.
In such an extremely noisy environment, although Mo Feng heard the unusual sound, the sound was drowned out by the clamor and did not sound real enough.
Mo Feng frowned slightly, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, but he thought to himself that maybe he had been too nervous and sensitive recently.
After all, all I saw and heard along the way was the suffering of the people, and my nerves were always tense.
So he just paused for a moment, listened carefully again, but the sound seemed to have disappeared in an instant and could no longer be caught.
Mo Feng shook his head helplessly and continued to move forward with the team. He soon put the matter behind him and didn't take it too seriously.
The villagers of Sujia Village were exhausted after a long journey and slowly walked along the winding road to the foot of the mountain.
Along the way, although everyone was exhausted, they still had some hope in their hearts as they thought they were getting closer to their destination. Occasionally, they could see faint smiles on the faces of the villagers.
At this moment, a group of strong men suddenly rushed down from the mountain like a tide.
They were in high spirits, each holding various weapons, and ran all the way to intercept the Sujia Village team.
Everyone in Sujia Village was stunned by this sudden scene. Their footsteps, which were originally a little slow but still orderly, came to an abrupt halt as if under a spell.
The slight smile that was on his face just now disappeared without a trace in an instant, replaced by a face full of fear and vigilance.
Everyone gathered together quickly almost subconsciously to better defend against the impending danger.
The old people were trembling with fear and held the children around them tightly. The women hugged their children tightly in their arms and used their bodies to shield the children as much as possible.
And those strong young men stepped forward without hesitation, taking firm steps to block the front. Their eyes were fixed on the group of people rushing down the mountain. Although there was fear in their eyes, there was more of a determination to never retreat and to protect their families.
Everyone's breathing became rapid, and the entire Sujia Village team seemed to be frozen at the foot of the mountain. The atmosphere was extremely tense.
I saw the group of people standing there in a huge crowd, all with unfriendly expressions, like a group of wolves staring at their prey, with ferocity and greed in their eyes.
That look seemed to be able to devour people and make people shudder.
The weapons they held in their hands were even more varied and of various styles.
There were bloodstained long knives, the bloodstains on the blades seemed to be telling of the bloody past it had experienced, and under the sunlight, it exuded an old and dangerous atmosphere; there were also crudely made wooden sticks, although the workmanship was rough, but in the hands of these people, they also added a bit of deterrence; what's more, some people even held pointed stones in their hands, the sharp stones flashed coldly in the sun, as if they could become sharp weapons to hurt people at any time.
This group of people dispersed quickly like ghosts, their movements were extremely agile, and in the blink of an eye they formed a semicircle and tightly surrounded the Sujia Village team.
They stood closely together, leaving no gaps, surrounding the people of Sujia Village, making it impossible for them to move forward or retreat, as if they were trapped in a desperate situation.
For a moment, the atmosphere of the whole scene was extremely tense, and the air was so stuffy that it was almost hard to breathe.
The village chief could only bite the bullet and take a few steps forward. His steps were heavy, and each step seemed to exhaust all his strength.
His hands were trembling slightly, which was an outward manifestation of his inner fear, but even so, he still tried hard to force a kind smile, trying to defuse the imminent crisis with a gentle attitude.
The village chief cautiously addressed the leader of the group, "Hey, gentlemen, we are just passing through here and have no ill intentions. We are ordinary villagers with families, just looking for a safe place to settle down. I hope you will show some mercy and let us pass. You see, we are old and young here, and we really can't stand the trouble."
The village chief's voice was trembling, and his words were full of pleading. He just hoped that these vicious people would show mercy and let them live.
The leader snorted coldly, his voice full of disdain and arrogance.
Then, a ferocious smile appeared on his face, and the smile spread wildly on his fleshy face, like a devil appearing in the world, which made people feel terrified.
He suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes widened, and he shouted, "Huh! Just passing by? I see your car is packed full. You must have looted a lot of goodies from the city. You think you can just walk by so easily? It's not that easy!"
His voice was as loud as a bell in the silent foot of the mountain, making everyone's ears buzz. His words were full of doubt and greed. It was obvious that he had already regarded the people in Sujia Village as lambs to be slaughtered, and believed that their cars must be full of valuables.
When the people in Sujia Village heard this, they felt disappointed.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness. It turned out that this group of people were eyeing the supplies they brought out of the city.
These supplies were collected bit by bit by the villagers. They were just daily necessities that could barely make a living. There were no precious or good things there.
At this time, Tiechui couldn't help but shout in the crowd: "There are only some junk in our car that others don't want. There is nothing good in it. Please let us go!"
The sound of the hammer carried a hint of urgency and pleading. His face flushed, he clenched his fists tightly, and stared at the group of ferocious people. He was angry and scared. He was angry that these people wanted to rob without any reason, and he was scared that if these people wanted to rob by force, everyone would be in real trouble.
