Lin Ru and the others immediately grabbed their knives and rushed over!
He fought with the man who seemed to be the most skilled in martial arts, the one wielding a long knife!
This man is either a hunter or a soldier; he looks like he's a trained fighter!
However, Lin Ru was no pushover either. She exchanged a couple of blows with Wu Fei and gained some insights into techniques that only target vital organs!
So, in the brief moment when the man launched another attack, she slit his throat!
This man was probably of relatively high status among the refugees. After Lin Ru killed him, the group of frenzied refugees all looked incredulous. Some even considered retreating, while others continued to rush forward recklessly!
Lin Ru picked a few more, and they were all quite skilled. She slit the throat of the man who was at the front, which scared off many people!
But then, someone in the crowd started stirring up their emotions again!
"Don't be afraid. So what if a few people die? They'll die of thirst or starvation anyway, so we might as well fight!"
"Everyone, charge in together! We outnumber them by a factor of two! And they've only sent out a small portion of their forces! Let's rush in and grab their food and drinks!"
"Everyone who can get in is a chance, every one who can survive is a chance! Everyone, charge forward!"
Those who had already considered retreating suddenly became incredibly energetic upon hearing this, charging forward recklessly and killing one wave after another!
Lin Ru leaped into the air and grabbed the person who had just spoken!
Then he slit the man's throat with a single stroke, and the man looked on in disbelief even as he died!
Lin Ru looked at the man's face and felt that he looked very familiar. He seemed to be one of the refugees next door!
She killed several more people! She retreated from the crowd and leaped onto a nearby rooftop!
Looking west, there was a peaceful scene there. These refugees were only coming towards them. There wasn't a single person on Master Huang's side or on the side of the refugees to the west!
It seems that the fact that they have water and food here was also spread by the refugees in the west. This should be retaliation against them!
But since they've brought these people here, let's not try to stay out of it!
So she returned to the crowd, hacking and slashing as she shouted, "Fellow villagers! There's more than one well in this village! But our well here has the smallest water level and the lowest. Move to the side, there's another one over there to the west! That one has a much higher water level! And they have a lot of grain in their hands, I can even smell the meat they're eating, the aroma of meat is wonderful!"
"With so many of you, you can't possibly break through in a short time. If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look. Besides, there are two wells behind here!"
"That guy behind him is a landlord. He carries all his gold and silver treasures with him! Not to mention grain, even the bits of food that peek out from between his fingers would be enough to feed you for a lifetime!"
“We are from a poor family. Look at our tattered clothes, and we are all wounded. How much food do you think we have?”
“We have knives, but the refugees to the west don’t! It’s all the same whether we rob one or two! Why don’t we try both sides?”
Having witnessed the fighting prowess of the villagers of Shili Village and heard the little girl's shouts, some of the refugees immediately began to have a change of heart!
There are so many of them! Whether they fight in one place or two, it's the same!
So most of the people rushed to the refugees' quarters to the west!
Instantly, shouts of battle and cries of agony filled the air!
This gave Lin Ru quite a bit of breathing room!
However, just as they had brought the situation under control, they suddenly heard howling coming from inside the village!
Moreover, the sound came from a location that was clearly where the group of people from Shili Village were stationed. They realized something was wrong and quickly sent a small group of people back to defend!
Lin Ru also rushed back quickly!
It turned out that the group of refugees had fought their way out from the west and circled around to the east, intending to steal their food!
Although Lin Ru believed that her mother could protect her maternal grandmother and her three aunts, she was still a little worried that they might get hurt!
When she hurriedly returned to the place where the grain was guarded, she saw more than a dozen strong young men lying haphazardly on the ground!
Surrounding Bai and the others was a group of people dressed as beggars; this was the same group that protected Master Huang!
Lin Ru took out a handful of medicinal powder and raised her hand to sprinkle it!
Unexpectedly, Wu Ling, the leader, was even faster, appearing in front of her before she could even throw a shot and grabbing her wrist!
"We mean no harm! We heard the commotion and rushed over to help you! Don't worry! I would never harm your family!"
"The people around your mother are all my clansmen! I've also sent clansmen to other families in your village! Don't worry, they'll all be fine!"
Lin Ru looked at Wu Ling with wary eyes!
"What exactly do you want to do? What is your purpose?"
With her ears turning red, Wu Ling took the sleeping pills out of her hand and then slowly lowered her raised hand!
"Anyway, I'm not a bad person! You have a black iron token with the character 'Martial' on it! That token belongs to our Martial Clan, to our clan leader! If I'm not mistaken, you've already dripped your own blood on it, and now you are the clan leader of our Martial Clan!"
"We, the Wu clan, will all obey your orders!"
"As long as you can feed us, that's fine!"
Lin Ru looked at Wu Ling with disbelief!
"Are you alright? What era are we living in? You still expect me to feed you?! Did you see the token in my hand the other day and come up with this excuse to freeload off us?"
"That's not right. With your kung fu skills, you don't need to follow us. You can live comfortably on your own!"
"And you also have that landlord! What are you doing here looking for me?"
Wu Ling knew she wouldn't believe him right away, which was why he hadn't explained his identity to her in the first place!
Finally, he had no choice but to lower his head and whisper in Lin Ru's ear, "That token has already identified you! If I'm not mistaken, you've been feeling a warm spot on your right arm lately, and now there should be a white tiger mark there!"
"If you don't believe me, young lady, you can take off your clothes and check when no one is around!"
Lin Ru quickly covered her right arm. She felt that her right arm had been feeling a bit hot lately, and now her left arm was also a bit hot!
If what he says is true, then last night she dripped blood on that token with money written on it, so wouldn't her left arm also have a totem?
Could that totem be a blue dragon?
She had been on the run from famine recently and hadn't had time to shower, so she hadn't paid attention to whether there were any strange things growing on her arms.
But when she went inside, took off her shirt, and saw the totem on her arm, she cried out in despair!
What kind of world is this? Why are these strange things happening?!
And why is there really a blue dragon on the left arm?
