Chapter 118 Refugees Block the Road and Rob Supplies
“It looks like someone has walked this road; these are all traces left by someone who just walked here.”
Su Yunhai looked at the trampling marks on the deserted road and gave a reminder.
"Yes, when we left yesterday, there were no traces of anyone else on this road. It's probably famine refugees who found this deserted road at the crossroads."
“They didn’t know there was a village nearby, and they just kept going along this road,” Gu Changfeng guessed.
"That should be the case. Everyone be careful, be careful not to have your supplies stolen if you encounter disaster victims," Su Yunhai loudly reminded the team.
The villagers became anxious when they heard that other disaster victims might have already walked this road.
They have a lot of food in their hands now, and they can't let it be stolen.
After walking for an hour, the group finally met the disaster victims who were walking ahead of them.
These disaster victims carried very few supplies; their bundles looked flimsy, clearly indicating that they were all short of food and water.
When they saw that the group behind them was carrying a lot of supplies, their eyes gleamed with greed.
Upon seeing this, Su Yunhai immediately drew his knife and placed it beside him, and the other villagers who were carrying knives also brandished their knives in a show of force.
Villagers carrying knives stood on both sides of the carts to protect the supplies, guarding against any opportunity for the disaster victims to rob them.
The disaster victims were surprised to find that almost everyone in the group had a large knife.
The initial enthusiasm vanished instantly.
They can't just fight these people head-on with knives over food, can they?
Their heads aren't that hard!
"Waaaaah, kind brothers, please give us some food..."
"My child hasn't eaten for three days. He's so young and is starving. Please have mercy and save him!"
Sudden.
A dirty woman stumbled out of the refugee procession, carrying a child, and knelt at the front of the procession, blocking their way.
Su Yunhai was startled, thinking that someone was really daring to run out and steal their supplies.
He instinctively swung the knife in his hand, almost striking the woman.
The woman was startled by the gleaming broadsword that was only a foot away from her, and collapsed to the ground in fright.
The child couldn't help but cry loudly, his voice became hoarse, but unfortunately, not a single tear came out.
The woman's lips trembled, wanting to say something but not daring to. She looked longingly at the stacks of grain piled high in the carts that were being carefully protected.
She couldn't help but keep swallowing.
"Waaaah, please don't kill me! Please don't kill me! I just want some food! I'll do anything for you! Please!"
In order to get food, the woman did not hesitate to pull down her clothes on her shoulders, revealing her not-so-clean shoulders, which shows that she often used this method to survive.
Other refugees, not to be outdone, immediately ran over and knelt in front of the procession to block their way.
They desperately kowtowed and begged for food.
Looking at these helpless refugees, Su Yunhai felt a deep pang of pity.
But he couldn't bring himself to say it.
There were at least three hundred, if not five hundred, people who fled the famine.
If they really open the door to this, how will they have enough food to go around?
Besides, people's hearts can never be satisfied!
Once they taste the benefits, they'll be like mosquitoes, relentlessly swarming around them.
They will not stop until they have eaten all of their food.
Seeing her father's troubled expression, Shen Shuli knew what he was thinking.
She has plenty of food in her space; it would be more than enough to help them if she really wanted to.
But the primary issue that needs to be addressed is how to prevent these people from sticking around.
Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai exchanged a glance, and Su Yunhai guessed what his daughter was thinking.
He was worried that his daughter's kind heart would cause trouble, so he immediately stopped her with a look.
Shen Shuli smiled and nodded to indicate that she understood.
"Get out of my way! Otherwise, don't blame me for using a knife!"
Su Yunhai shouted at the people blocking the road and pointed his knife at the child in the arms of the woman at the front.
It implies that they might resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.
The woman never expected this man to be so heartless; she had made her intentions so obvious, yet he remained unmoved.
Seeing the gleaming broadsword, the woman finally lost her nerve, crying as she hugged her child and stepped aside.
Su Yunhai rode his horse forward a little, then held his knife to the head of the nearest man.
The man felt a chill run down his spine and was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, scrambling to make way for them.
Seeing this, the others dared not stop them any longer and wisely made way.
The villagers guarding the supplies dared not relax their vigilance for a moment, keeping a close eye on the greedy refugees along the way.
But just as they were about to cross this road, an accident still occurred.
These refugees finally couldn't resist taking action.
They rushed frantically towards the last few supply trucks at the back of the column.
Dozens of refugees rushed directly towards one location, disregarding their own safety.
The villagers in that location didn't have time to react before they were surrounded by more than a dozen villagers.
The convoy was instantly torn open, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope, and more and more refugees joined in the looting.
The five carts that lagged behind were intercepted and pounced upon by the refugees.
The villagers protecting the carts and horses were no match for these refugees and were quickly disarmed and slashed.
Su Yunhai and the others' expressions changed drastically.
I never expected these people would actually dare to make a move!
But there were still refugees eyeing them from the front, so he dared not turn back to provide support.
"Daughter! Go and help them!" Su Yunhai shouted urgently.
Shen Shuli had already noticed what was happening behind her and quickly ran to provide support.
The refugees' target was the supplies on the carts; after breaking through the villagers, they rushed forward to seize the grain.
"Don't fight them head-on, protecting yourself is the most important thing!" Shen Shuli shouted loudly.
Upon hearing Shen Shuli's voice, the villagers of Peach Blossom Village immediately retreated, watching with resentment as these people frantically looted their grain.
These refugees have gone mad.
A dozen or so people were tearing and grabbing at a bag of grain. The bag was ripped open, and the grain spilled all over the ground.
The refugees immediately started fighting among themselves.
"You guys go protect the convoy ahead, be careful they don't get robbed again! I'm going to rescue people!"
Seeing that three villagers were surrounded by refugees and unable to get out, Shen Shuli immediately gave instructions.
"Okay, be careful!" Knowing his own limitations, the villager obediently left.
Shen Shuli charged straight into the crowd of refugees, knocking them to the ground with a single punch.
If it weren't for the fact that these people were all pitiful ordinary people, she would have shot them one by one long ago. She wouldn't have shown any mercy.
The refugees initially paid no attention to the little girl.
But this little girl is too fast; she can knock down a grown man with a single punch.
In just a quarter of an hour, Shen Shuli had taken down several hundred refugees.
Several other refugees who had managed to grab knives stood there, wildly slashing at Shen Shuli with their knives.
"Don't come over here!"
"Watch out or I'll kill you!"
Shen Shuli felt helpless. Sigh, these people are truly pitiful yet hateful.
