The leading officers and soldiers were riding on tall horses, looking at the group of refugees in front of them.
The spirit of this group of refugees was obviously different from those they had seen on the road before.
Although their clothes were ragged and their faces were sallow and skinny, their eyes were different. There seemed to be light in them.
Yes, there is light in the eyes.
Their bodies were still walking corpses, relying solely on the light to support their skeletons, making their whole bodies exude vitality.
Yes, life. They were used to seeing the death all over the place. This was the first time they saw so much life.
Of course, this was also the first time I saw refugees with such abundant supplies. Not only were the carts loaded with goods, but the refugees’ baggage was also bulging. Even when the officers and soldiers passed by on horseback just now, I saw a few refugees carrying their bags.
I'm eating dried meat.
So the lead officer and soldier with the hooked nose asked sternly: "What are you pulling?"
The common people were afraid of the officers and soldiers, especially in these troubled times. They were no different from bandits, so they remained silent for a while and did not dare to come forward and speak.
As the only scholar in the team, Li Yanxiu naturally took the lead in doing this.
"My lord, we are all refugees, and all the rags and rags in this car are from home."
The hook-nosed man had sharp eyes and said coldly: "Open it and take a look."
Open?
If these officers and soldiers see that the carts are loaded with grain, can they still keep the grain?
Li Yanxiu really didn't want to grovel, after all, he was a scholar.
But his fists were strong, and he would be beaten if he refused to give in, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
"How can I let these rags stain the official's eyes..."
The hook-nosed man thought Li Yanxiu was talking nonsense, so he waved his riding whip and whipped him over.
Li Yanxiu didn't expect it and stood there blankly, forgetting to even avoid it.
Fortunately, Gu Mo pulled him, and while pulling him, he firmly grabbed the other end of the whip, and directly pulled the hooked nose off the horse, and fell to the ground in a panic.
The rest of the officers and soldiers immediately dismounted and helped him up. They fiercely shook off a few of his men with hooked noses and waved their whips again, showing their vicious aura.
"Untouchable! How brave! How dare you attack officers and soldiers? Are you tired of living?!"
As soon as he made a move, he was thrown out by Gu Mo again with his whip, and this time he fell harder than the last time, and a mouthful of blood protruded from the ground when he hit it.
The hooked nose pointed at Gu Mo, "Kill!"
Several officers and soldiers rushed towards Gu Mo, and Gu Mo raised his hammer and hit it directly on a tree nearby.
The tree suddenly bloomed, split in the middle and fell to the ground with a crash.
Although it was because the weather was too hot and the books had dried out long ago that they bloomed so smoothly, it still shocked several officers and soldiers.
Their steps to step forward suddenly stopped, and they went to help Hook Nose up first.
The atmosphere was a little stiff for a while, with both sides silently confronting each other.
After a long while, Li Yanxiu finally spoke. These officers and soldiers were not good people, but the people did not want to fight with the officers, so it would be best to get rid of these officers and soldiers.
"Master, if nothing happens, we will leave first..."
Several officers and soldiers saw how powerful Gu Mo was, and they really didn't dare to attack these refugees casually anymore.
But they will definitely take away the food in the hands of these refugees!
"Wait a minute, you can leave if you want, just leave all your baggage and everything on the cart!"
The hook-nosed man said confidently, "Now that the enemy has invaded, the country is in crisis, and the army is short of water and food. As the people of Daewoo, you should hand over your food to support the front line!"
Li Yanxiu's face turned red.
Why are these people so shameless?
If it's really to support the front line, that's all.
But he had seen too many such things along the way, and he knew that these officers and soldiers were robbing the refugees of food, but why were they doing it for the soldiers who were protecting their homes and the country?
It was obvious that he wanted to keep these grains for himself.
"My lord, as Daewoo people, it is our unshirkable responsibility to do our part for the country, but we are all refugees fleeing famine. Where can we get food? Please be lenient."
"Stop pretending to be ignorant here. It is your blessing that the government requisitions your grain. Hand over the grain quickly, otherwise they will all be arrested and used as young men!"
Another officer and soldier echoed, "With the national crisis at hand, whoever dares to hide food privately, and whoever dares to resist, will be punished on the spot!"
Seeing that Gu Mo was about to take action, Li Yanxiu held on tightly and lowered his voice to persuade, "Forget it, give them the food and endure the calm for a while..."
Gu Mo twitched the corner of his mouth,
"Why do you have the final say over a life-saving thing?"
"They are officers and soldiers. What else can you do but forget it? Do you really want to go against the government?"
Gu Mo responded to Li Yanxiu with a haha.
Li Yanxiu, "..."
Seeing that Gu Mo and the refugees didn't move, the officers and soldiers thought that although they were a little unwilling, they had been intimidated by the government, so they went straight to lift the cloth on the cart, and sure enough they saw that it was full of grain.
The eyes of the officers and soldiers were shining with gold, and they were about to push the cart away.
The refugees who had been unresponsive after pressing the pause button suddenly came to their senses and went to snatch the cart back.
"No! This food is what we need to survive! You can't take it away!"
"Let go!"
The officer and soldier was grabbed by the refugee. He became so angry that he drew his sword and slashed at the refugee.
The knife was emitting a cold light under the harsh sunlight, and was about to strike the refugee. Everyone else screamed in fright, but they didn't expect the knife to fall into Gu Mo's hand the next moment, and then Gu Mo
The movement is extremely fast, with a backhand knife.
The knife struck the officer's neck, and blood spurted out. Gu Mo dodged quickly, so the blood spurted out on the face of the refugee in front of him.
The officers and soldiers were dumbfounded. They had no idea that Gu Mo would dare to kill the officers and soldiers.
Hook-nosed immediately ordered, "These untouchables dare to kill officers and soldiers! Move quickly and capture this untouchable!"
Gu Mo also shouted, "Iron Eagle Army 1st Team!"
Gu Mo named this armed force composed of refugees Iron Eagle, and formed a team of ten people under the banner of the loyal army of civilians fighting against the real army.
As soon as a detachment of the Iron Eagle Army heard the call, they immediately stood up and aimed their sleeve crossbows at several officers and soldiers.
Gu Mo ordered, "Kill!"
However, the Iron Eagle Army hesitated. When they killed the bandits before, they had no mercy at all, only pleasure, because they knew that those bandits were not good people and they would not bear any responsibility for killing them.
But now, these are officers and soldiers. If they kill the officers and soldiers, won't they become rebels?
Gu Mo saw their hesitation and confusion, but she didn't urge them.
It is indeed not that easy to accept that ordinary people with deep-rooted small-peasant ideas are allowed to go against the government.
Gu Mo didn't force them, she would just let them see with their own eyes what the officers and soldiers were doing, and then decide what to do.
