Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 950 Encountering Refugees Robbery on the Way Out of the City

After hearing the man's words, Chu Chen was so shocked that he almost dismounted.

I thought to myself, "You must be really hungry. This couple in front of me, they must be husband and wife, they've gone this far."

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense; when people are desperately hungry, there's nothing they won't do.

Seeing Chu Chen hesitate for a moment, the man revealed a triumphant smile.

However, Chu Chen immediately caught sight of that small smile.

Considering the difference in their physiques and the woman's empty eyes, Chu Chen immediately felt that this matter was not so simple.

He immediately changed his gaze to one of interest and looked at the woman, saying, "You mean her?"

"That's right, this is my wife. She was so hungry that she had no choice but to resort to this. We have five children to support. Please, young master, have mercy on us and save our family."

The man gave Chu Chen a pleading look, but his eyes kept glancing to the sides.

After hearing this, Chu Chen glanced at both sides out of the corner of his eye and immediately laughed to himself. This was probably a gang operation.

On his left and right sides, he noticed that the elderly, women, and children had disappeared, leaving behind some young men who looked quite strong.

"Young master, please save our family!"

Seeing that Chu Chen was still hesitating, the man immediately spoke up again to persuade him.

The woman in front of him didn't utter a single word from beginning to end; instead, she stared blankly at the bundle on Chu Chen's horse.

"Oh, how much do you charge?"

Chu Chen smiled and looked at the man.

"Young master, you are clearly a person of high status. In these times of year, what do you need money for? Food is all you need!"

"food?"

Chu Chen pretended to think for a moment, then reached into his bag and pulled out a fragrant roast chicken.

The man clenched his fist the moment he saw the roast chicken, but when he saw the knife Chu Chen carried, he immediately released his grip.

In fact, if it weren't for the sword Chu Chen was carrying, they would have already made their move; there would have been no need for all this trouble.

Anyway, the government won't open the city gates to deal with this.

Even if you killed the man in front of you, no one would care.

"Young master, roast chicken...please have pity on our five children. If you give me the roast chicken, she is yours!"

Chu Chen nodded after listening: "Lead the way, I can't just stay here..."

“Young master is absolutely right. Please follow me.”

After saying that, the man grabbed the woman and led Chu Chen toward a dilapidated house outside the city in the distance.

Chu Chen didn't even need to think about what he would face next. But entering the world was just a game, a way to punish evil and promote good.

The other refugees, seeing Chu Chen carrying the roast chicken and following them toward the house, all shook their heads inwardly for him.

I thought to myself, "Who is this naive kid? How did he fall for it?"

What a damn need that would allow someone to be so audacious!

You know, if he messes with these people, even his horse will probably become their food soon.

What a waste of such a fine horse! It's all your fault for following the wrong master!

Before long, Chu Chen arrived at the gate of the house. Without the slightest hesitation, he rode his horse inside.

The moment he went inside, even though he had prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked by what he saw.

In this dilapidated courtyard, all sorts of women lay sprawled out haphazardly.

Beneath them lay some withered grass, and a nauseating smell wafted from them.

On the other side, however, the place was spotlessly clean, and a portly man was drinking tea, being served by two women.

Behind the man followed two strong-looking men wielding long knives, who seemed to have nothing to do with refugees.

Upon seeing Chu Chen enter the courtyard on horseback, the courtyard gate was tightly closed from the outside.

The man who had led him there casually pushed the woman beside him down into the straw, then turned to look at Chu Chen on horseback.

"Young master, please dismount!"

"I don't really like this environment!"

"Heh, then we won't tolerate that. Leave your things here and pick one yourself. Don't say we're bullying you!"

Chu Chen glanced at them but ignored the man.

Instead, he said to the person who was drinking tea, "So many refugees are starving, and you still want to exploit them? Don't you have any conscience?"

As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, a burst of laughter immediately erupted around him.

The portly man looked at Chu Chen and said, "Hahaha, conscience? In this world, where can you find any conscience left?"

"The government embezzled our disaster relief grain, and the bandits stole our grain reserves."

"You've arrived in Hyde City, and you're still being stopped from entering? Tell me, what is conscience?"

Chu Chen was immediately rendered speechless by what he said.

I thought to myself, "Damn, that makes some sense, but I'm here to save you guys."

Although refugees are a vulnerable group, if you exploit vulnerable groups, then there's no reasoning with you.

"Heh, while I admit you have a point, how is your behavior any different from that of bandits?"

"Young man, you're born into good fortune; you have no idea how hard life is for us!"

"It is because of us that all these women are not starving to death."

"It is because of us that those people outside are able to survive."

"Oh, so if you guys take all these things from me, you'll share them with people outside?"

After listening, the man drinking tea smiled disdainfully again: "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

"What the hell are you all standing there for? Don't you still want to eat horse meat?!"

Clearly, he didn't want to waste any more words with Chu Chen. He waved to the men behind him, and they immediately surrounded Chu Chen with their knives.

Chu Chen originally thought that this person, or rather this organization, would really care about the lives of people outside, just as they said.

But now it seems that's not the case, so he waved his hand and drew the sword from his horse.

Seeing Chu Chen draw his sword, the group immediately raised their weapons and attacked him.

But how could a mere mortal be a match for Chu Chen, a late-stage Void God Realm expert?

Within moments, everyone in the courtyard who was armed lay dead in pools of blood.

The man drinking tea stared in disbelief at the scene before him, thinking to himself, "Damn it, I've kicked a hornet's nest."

So he immediately knelt down in front of Chu Chen.

"Young master, spare us! We're all unfortunate souls, young master..."
