Chapter 239: Difficult Road, Stealing Silver
"Puff~Puff~"
The whole person fell face down into the mud.
After struggling for a while, Little Orange finally raised his head from the mud with difficulty.
"Puff~Puff~Pooh~"
A stream of mud came out of his mouth, and his face was so muddy that he couldn't even open his eyes.
Lin Shu and the others were terrified and secretly thankful that they did not compete for the first one.
Lin Shu saw that her clothes at least still had some colors.
I saw people of all sizes on the pipeline stuck in the mud, especially the short people.
The tragic scene could not be described in a few words. The refugee team instantly turned into a mud team.
Only by jumping into the turbulent Shuangjiang River can you wash off the mud.
The vehicles were stuck in the mud and could not move forward or backward. The animals, which were skinny and bony, were beaten and screamed miserably.
A horse fell down in the mud, foaming at the mouth and breathing heavily, and could not get up again.
From his cloudy eyes, two drops of bloody tears flowed, and he stared at the distant sky for a long time.
"What bad luck! Get up and pull the cart!"
The coachman jumped off the carriage and whipped the horse again and again.
"Pah~, if I had known it was so useless, I should have killed it and eaten its meat."
The driver kicked the horse a few times out of frustration, but the horse no longer responded to him.
The refugees around slowly approached the carriage, their gazes fixed on the dead horse with burning intensity.
No one can control the secretion of saliva in their mouth.
Some people even stare at the part they like and start to imagine whether to eat it raw or cooked.
...
When the captain of the guard saw that there was something wrong with the last carriage, he hurriedly sent someone to check it out.
"Why did you stop? Hurry up and catch up." Guard Xiao rode back and urged.
"Guard Xiao, the horse is dead. What should we do with the things in the carriage?" the driver whispered helplessly.
Once the horse died, he couldn't pull away a carriage full of boxes and cages.
"You pull the carriage first, I'll go to the front to dispatch it."
When Guard Xiao saw the countless whip marks on the horse, his eyes dimmed.
This horse must have been so unwelcome that it was beaten all over and became so thin that it was just skin and bones.
It was obvious that the horses were never well fed, and I didn't know who ended up with the rations.
"Thank you, Guard Xiao." The driver said with a happy look on his face.
He was pulling the carriage, and he was not a lowly servant of the Xiao family.
But there were no available animals, and the driver stared at the horse's eyes.
I looked up and saw the refugees around me, snorting constantly.
He knew the opportunity had come.
“You, you, you, you, come and help me pull the carriage.
How about this tired horse belonging to the four of you?"
The four refugees who were named were overjoyed.
A lean horse is bigger than a pig, and one share of its food is enough for four people to eat for ten days.
No matter how you calculate it, they made money.
The four men called their relatives over and cut the horse apart on the spot, not even wanting to throw away the internal organs.
The four families happily took the horse meat back home, but no one knew what would happen next.
...
The four refugees who had benefited from this pushed the carriage together.
The carriage was stuck in the mud and did not move at all.
A refugee at the back of the carriage took advantage of the driver's inattention to peek inside.
They were all large vermilion wooden boxes, each with a seal on it.
His eyes rolled around and his hands that were pushing the carriage couldn't help but relax again and again.
"Boom~ Crash~"
The carriage turned sideways in the mud, and the mahogany box inside rolled out.
‘Pa~’
After a mahogany box rolled a few times, the lid could no longer bear the weight of the box and opened its mouth to spit out the contents.
White silver ingots.
"Silver!" the refugee exclaimed.
The silver ingots neatly placed in the mahogany box rolled into the mud and instantly turned into dust.
But it still blinds the refugees.
The exclamations were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and the refugees rushed towards the carriage with only one thought in their minds.
'Grab the silver, grab the silver!'
Once greed arose, it took root and the refugees scrambled for silver like crazy.
"Stop, put down what you're holding.
Otherwise, kill without mercy! "
Several guards rode over quickly, drew their long swords, and slashed at the refugees who were looting frantically.
The refugees, who were so eager to get what they wanted, would not listen to any warnings.
At this moment, there was only one thought in my mind.
【The more silver, the better. The more, the better. 】
‘Poof~’
‘Poof~’
‘Poof~’
Three slashes of the knife caused blood to splatter, but it still failed to scare away the crazy refugees.
The blood aroused the greed and madness in some people's hearts, and the situation was temporarily out of control.
More and more refugees gathered around them, and Lin Shu and her group were squeezed out of the circle, becoming a different force with a few weak refugees.
...
"Xiao Chengzi, let's go grab some silver too. It will definitely be fun."
Qian Duoduo rubbed his hands excitedly and said.
"I haven't touched silver in a long time. I don't even know what it smells like."
"If you have to go, you should go. I won't go." Little Orange shook his head with a look of resistance.
"A gentleman does not take away what others like."
"Little thing, you are the one who talks the most.
If you can, don't eat the food we brought back. You're such a hypocrite.
You deserve to starve to death!" Qian Duoduo said in a rage.
It looked so irritated, as if a cat had its foot stepped on.
"If you don't go, I will go, humph!"
Qian Duoduo snorted in dissatisfaction and prepared to go to a crowded place.
But after kicking a few times, I couldn't feel the ground.
At this time, Qian Duoduo was being held by Lin Hongyi's collar, glaring at him with a dark face.
"If you're itching for skin, you have a few heads to chop off.
You are courting death and you want to drag us down with you. Do you want me to sober you up?"
Lin Shu, standing on Heizi's back, saw the guards being overwhelmed by the refugees.
An unknown force drew their swords and attacked the refugees, giving orders.
"Leave this place immediately."
Without saying a word, she grabbed Chuntao and threw her on Baozi's back, yelling.
"Hold on tight, let's go."
When the confused Chuntao came to her senses, she was already on Baozi's back.
She was so surprised that she didn't dare to move and just hugged Baozi's neck obediently.
A strong wind blew my hair into a mess, and everything around me seemed to be receding.
...
Lin Hongyi made a prompt decision, dropped the sled, grabbed Xiao Chengzi and Qian Duoduo and ran away.
He ran while cursing with gnashing teeth.
"Little bastard, can you steal that?
The person hasn't even entered yet, so we don't know how he died.
Run faster, you want to tire yourself to death! "
Qian Duoduo turned around and saw that the robbery had turned into a massacre, and he was almost scared to death.
The guards and carriages in front had already run away, leaving only their backs.
'silver!'
'silver!'
The news kept reaching the ears of the refugees, who, willing to pay more for their lives than for their lives, rushed desperately into the circle.
Lin Shu stood on the hillside, looking at the chaos on the official road from afar.
More and more people fell in a pool of blood, especially near the carriages, where they had piled up into small hills.
When someone grabbed the silver, before he had time to verify its authenticity, the head had already flown into the air.
Although Lin Shu was used to seeing life and death, she was still trembling all over.
The three little ones lay down with pale faces and vomited violently, even vomiting yellow bile.
The news about silver spread like wildfire.
The refugees gathered here were huge in number.
Every silver ingot is stained with blood and life.
Blood flows into a river.
