Chapter 887: Are all the refugees women?
Chapter 887: Are all the refugees women?
Sure enough, as soon as Uncle Wu entered the door, his eyes were fixed on Bai Song.
His attitude towards Bai Song was not as casual as his attitude towards the villagers.
After calming himself down inside, he bowed slightly to Bai Song before saying:
"Brother Bai, refugees have entered over the wall at the east end of the village!"
Upon hearing this, the people eating inside all stopped what they were doing.
Bai Song and Yan Xu looked even more serious, and had already gotten off the kang (heated brick bed) to put on their shoes.
"Where are the people on duty? Why didn't we hear the gong?"
"Let's go, let's grab our weapons!"
After putting on their shoes, the two realized that Uncle Wu had no intention of going out.
It was only then that Bai Song noticed.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Uncle Wu's gaze was fixed solely on him and Yan Xu.
He suddenly realized, "Did our brothers cause this trouble?"
Fifth Uncle nodded.
"A group of refugees came today, and they are all women."
Somehow, I ended up talking to the person on duty.
Just now, Sun Erniu ran over from the village entrance to report that about ten refugees had already entered.
Judging from their voices, they are all women.
Right now, people are still coming in from the east wall of the village.
"I still need to discuss this with you."
Bai Song was also stunned when he heard this.
woman?
Are there women among the refugees, and they're all women?
No matter how I think about it, something just doesn't feel right.
Bai Song turned around, grabbed a piece of meat from the table, stuffed it into his mouth, and quickly walked out.
He was chewing meat and his speech was slurred.
"Zou, let's go see what's going on!"
Lu Qingqing instructed Old Man Zhuang to lock the door at home, then took her weapons and went out.
The group headed straight for the east of the village, and along the way they saw villagers running towards the east end of the village with weapons.
In the eyes of the villagers, this was definitely not a good thing.
The defensive wall had just been built when outsiders came to the village.
If nothing happens, fine, but if something does, it's like inviting a wolf into the house.
The villagers naturally didn't want to do something that was entirely harmful and offered no benefit.
When Lu Qingqing and her group ran over, there were already quite a few villagers gathered around.
Opposite the villagers stood a group of soldiers armed with weapons.
Although the two sides have not yet started fighting, they have both drawn their weapons and are already in a standoff.
Bai Song frowned deeply and shouted a rebuke.
"What are you doing!"
After that shout, the previously noisy scene immediately fell silent.
When the villagers saw Uncle Wu following behind Bai Song, they knew that this was to resolve the matter, so they made way for him.
Bai Song took the lead and walked at the very back of the crowd.
Sure enough, behind the soldiers stood more than thirty refugees.
He stared at the group of dirty, skinny refugees for several moments, but couldn't tell that they were women.
However, these refugees were indeed not very tall.
He glared at Zhou Peng, the third soldier, walked over to him, and reprimanded him in a low voice.
"What are you doing? Don't you know what's going on?!"
With so many refugees coming in, how are we going to feed them?
Also, what if these people have bad intentions? Can you take responsibility?
Seeing Bai Song's expression, Zhou Peng knew he was really angry, so he quickly tried to explain.
"Brother, this isn't just my opinion."
"We've all been celibate for so long, it's rare to see a woman."
Bai Song glanced to the side and saw a group of brothers all smiling obsequiously, so he glared back angrily.
"What kind of time is this? When you're risking your life, you're still thinking about that kind of thing!"
Besides, have you even figured out where these women come from?
Zhou Peng stepped forward, smiling apologetically as he explained.
"Brother, you can rest assured that I can handle things."
I've asked all these women, and they've confirmed that they're prostitutes from the southwest alley of Hai'an County.
Come to think of it, the place these women used to live in was in the same county as us.
However, the brothers didn't have any money, so they didn't go much.
However, the old smoker in the group recognized him.
One of the prostitutes was his former lover.
I chatted with them for a bit, and it seemed like there were no problems.
After hearing Zhou Peng's words, Bai Song was almost convinced.
This old smoker is notorious for his inability to control his groin.
In my younger years, when I was still young, I loved to flirt with young women and married women.
After his reputation was ruined in recent years, he started spending money to use shady methods.
He was well-known throughout the county.
If Old Yan knows him, then it's quite possible.
Thinking this, Bai Song took another look at the dirty-looking refugees.
The one standing at the very front of the refugees, seeing him looking over, smoothed his messy hair back.
It was at this moment that Bai Song noticed that this person had a pair of large, almond-shaped eyes.
When they look at people sideways, the way they do it is quite something.
Well, the third brother wasn't wrong about me this time.
Just as they were observing, the refugee at the front spoke up.
"My lord, I was originally a courtesan in the Yihonglou, and my name was Ruyue."
As long as our lord is willing, we sisters are willing to do his laundry, cook for him, warm his bed, and wash his feet.
We ask for nothing more than a bite to eat, a chance to survive.
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and knelt down.
Behind them, a group of people lifted their hair to reveal their faces and knelt down in unison.
If he hadn't shown his face, things would have been fine, but once he did, the group of soldiers started whispering among themselves.
Not only the soldiers, but also the villagers were in an uproar.
Even during its most prosperous years, Fushan Town had its share of shady dealings.
Back then, the women in town hated the prostitutes who seduced their husbands in the brothels the most.
Conversely, the men are the ones who like these prostitutes the most.
This time, the villagers' reaction was similar to before.
Most men, upon learning that these women only need a bite to eat...
Even his bulging, hungry eyes brightened a bit.
When the women heard that she was a prostitute, they couldn't hide the disgust and contempt in their eyes.
In an instant, the discussion throughout the venue grew louder and louder.
At the very back of the crowd, Sun Yue's face paled when she heard the women's disdainful remarks about prostitutes.
But the thought that he was now dressed as a man made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Bai Song stood in the center of the crowd, looking at the appearance of his brothers, knowing that this matter could not be suppressed by force.
He sized up the thirty-odd women, thought for a moment, and said:
“If I allow you to stay here.”
Do you want to live with us brothers, or in a separate courtyard?
Think carefully, this concerns how you'll eat from now on.
As Ruyue rose from the ground, she maintained a delicate appearance, but her words were firm.
"If possible, I would like to live in a separate courtyard with my sisters."
Of course, we sisters will definitely keep our promise to you.
However, we sisters are women after all.
I have my period for a few days every month, and the menstrual blood is dirty; I'm worried it might bother the soldiers.
