It was getting late, and the decapitated corpses under the city gate had been thrown into a mass grave aside. Even the blood stains were washed away by officers and soldiers drawing water from the river.
Everyone is looking at me and I am looking at you, wanting to see who can come up with the money to go to the city.
Just when everyone felt that it was impossible for the desperate group around them to still have money, a few figures stood up from the crowd in a sneaky way, and ran towards the city gate quickly with their waists bent.
There are actually people who still have money!
At this moment, a group of people immediately stood up, formed a small team, and began to search for the lone refugees around them.
As long as there are fewer people than them and appear to be weaker than them, no one will be spared.
Ironically, they actually found the money.
This seemed to be a signal, and people went crazy and joined the search teams in order to enter the city.
The first person to make a move is the person who is closest to him or her on weekdays.
This scene frightened Xu Yue and quickly looked at the people around her.
Wang Dayou and his wife held their child in their arms, looked at the group of people in fear, and silently clenched the sharp stones in their hands.
Wang Dahai blocked his son behind him, also holding a hatchet in his hand, and was ready to fight those madmen.
Seeing the same reaction from everyone around her, Xu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
At least they were not ungrateful and pointed the finger at those who had given them favors. The taro and water that father and mother sent out were not in vain.
As for Mrs. Qiu, she had already left in the hazy night with her dead child in her arms. She didn't say hello to anyone before leaving, and she didn't know if she would come back.
The atmosphere in the city was very tense. Everyone was in danger, but they couldn't help but want to break the pot and do something in the chaos.
"Wait until they finish robbing, why don't we..." Xu Da made a gesture of wiping his neck and looked at Wang, Wang Dahai and Wang Da with great interest.
"Anyway, those officers and soldiers don't care. They are still watching the show. It's a great opportunity. If you miss it, it will be gone." He muttered to himself.
Wang Dahai and Wang Da looked at him hesitantly, thinking that this was not good, and since the opponent had so many people, it would be easy for them to lose everything.
Of course, they didn't have any doubts about Brother Xu's strength.
It's just that Brother Guangxu, it doesn't matter what you say alone, it still depends on what the women in your family think.
Wang ignored Xu Da and only told Xu Dalang to protect his two sisters.
Soon, the search team finished searching the refugees in front and walked towards them.
Wang took a deep breath and was ready to fuck her opponent until he couldn't stand up. He squeezed his joints and stretched his muscles with kicks. He drew his homemade bow to the full string and put on the bow and arrow.
The best fighting condition has been reached.
Without Wang's words, Xu Da and others knew that a fierce battle was coming and stepped forward one after another.
The three brothers had already reached a tacit understanding when they were fighting for water. They knew what they should do with just one look without saying anything.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the group of people to come to the door.
However, when the group of people approached them, they glanced at them from a distance of ten meters and walked away...
walked away?
!!!
The three arrows that Wang placed on the string shook and almost shot out!
Fortunately, the arrow hadn't had time to launch yet.
It's just that this feeling when you are fully prepared, but the enemy is too cowardly to take a detour instead of confronting you head-on, is even more uncomfortable than losing a battle.
It hurts so much!
Xu was so angry that he picked up a stone and threw it provocatively at the group of people. With a "dong" sound, it hit one person on the instep.
The man wailed, turned his head angrily, and was about to curse. When he saw it was Xu Da, he immediately shut up, with a look of horror in his eyes. He jumped up and down like he was running away and followed the large army in front, and continued to search.
Other people's homes.
Xu Da was stunned, he was so provocative, how could he bear it?
Wang Dayou looked at the man's leaving figure, thoughtfully, suddenly slapped his thigh, and shouted excitedly:
"I remember! That kid was trying to grab water from us, but we beat him away. Brother Xu, you even wiped the necks of two of his brothers in front of that kid..."
When it came to the latter part, Wang Dayou's conscience did not allow him to talk about the death of others in such an excited tone, and his voice weakened.
But I finally found out why the other party was so cowardly.
Wang pointed the arrow in her hand at Xu Da, took a false aim, and then put down the bow and arrow with a cold face.
Xu Da looked up at the sky speechlessly, so do you blame him?
………
Late at night, in front of the fire, Xu Da pulled the roasted taro beside the fire and looked at Wang Dayou and Wang Dahai seriously.
"Honestly, do you still have money?"
Wang Dayou and Wang Dahai raised their heads with a swish, and Wang Dahai said cautiously: "Some, not enough."
Xu Da looked at Wang Dayou. He just remained silent and did not say yes or no.
But if you don’t say there isn’t, then there is.
As for how many there were, Xu Da took a look at Wang Dayou's belts, and estimated that they would not be too few.
Sensing Xu Da's gaze, Wang Dayou simply showed off his cards, "Brother Xu, to be honest, I want to follow you."
Along the way, he has come to realize that as long as there is a chance, the Xu family will definitely soar into the sky in the future.
With the world in such chaos, who wouldn't take a gamble? He couldn't help but think more about his family. If there was an opportunity, he would take the risk.
Moreover, the Xu family is kind-hearted and not blindly obedient. They take action when it is time to take action and they are also fair to others.
The status of scholars, farmers, merchants, and workers is not even comparable to that of farmers like Wang Dahai. He does not ask for much. It is enough that he can buy a few acres of fertile land in the future and have a happy wife and children.
If not, what could be worse than the current situation?
Wang Youliang had a nightmare and called daddy repeatedly. Wang Dahai had to comfort the child first and temporarily left the fire.
Wang Dayou took the opportunity and asked in a low voice: "What do you think, Brother Xu? Do you want to enter this city or not? If you want to enter, I can lend you money first. I just ask that after you enter the city, don't forget the people outside the city."
That’s fine.”
Hearing Wang Dayou's words, Xu Da was a little surprised, but he didn't mention borrowing money, but told his family's plan.
"What our family wants to do is to find a way to send one person into the city first, and then find a way to bring people in from outside the city."
"Once you enter the city, there will always be a way." Xu Da affirmed.
As long as you meet a rich person, even a young child, you can think of ways to get more money.
Wang Dayou thought for a while and decided to go with him, but he had to ask Mrs. Wang to help take care of his wife and children.
The reason why Xu Da wanted to fool these two brothers was that he lacked manpower.
Now that Wang Dayou has taken the initiative to join the camp, that would be perfect. The two brothers looked at each other and decided to give it a try tomorrow morning.
Wang Dahai, who came back from coaxing the children, asked: "What are you talking about?"
Xu Da concealed the fact that Wang Dayou wanted to lend him money, and revealed that the two of them were going to the city to have a look.
When Wang Dahai heard this, he quickly said that he would also come with him, and his request was the same as Wang Dayou's, as long as someone could help take care of the child.
