Chapter 35: Grab the water
Also, with the relationship between that family and them, except for one Ye Wu, others are definitely unwilling to go with them.
Especially the Wang family, who finally got rid of them, how could they be willing to bring the two back again, not to mention that there was a big cake drawn by Xia Beiming for them, so they would not follow.
"Sister, the uncle disagreed, he wanted to follow that son, he said that the son was not an ordinary person, he would lead them to get water, and then take them to Mingzhou Mansion. He also asked me to tell you, don't go on the road alone, stay and go with the son. ”
Ye Xun was a little moved by what Ye Wu said, that son looked really extraordinary, whether it was his bearing, or his words and deeds, he was different from them.
He wanted to persuade Ye Lan to stay with him, although his sister had water and food, but they had never been to Mingzhou Mansion and didn't know the way.
Along the way, they have all followed the refugees, and now that the refugees are staying here, who will follow next?
Will you get lost?
Just when Ye Xun was fascinated, Ye Lan's voice sounded in his ears: "Ah Xun, we can't go with them, there are many people, and Sister A's secret can't be known to outsiders." Let's go, since they have made a choice, let's go first, anyway, we will go to Mingzhou Mansion in the end, and we will meet there when the time comes. ”
Ye Xun thought about it and nodded in agreement, he was determined to be with his sister, since the uncle and they didn't agree to go together, then he could only leave them behind.
And Tan's mother and daughter didn't have any idea at all, wherever Ye Lan went, they went, just follow obediently.
After Ye Lan and the others left, Xia Beiming planned to seize the water that night, and in the dead of night, the refugees were lying everywhere.
Perhaps it was because they were hungry, or perhaps they were so thirsty that many of them could not sleep, but the only ones who guarded the well, except for four or five men who were left to guard the well at night, all the others slept.
Xia Beiming and Bu Fan quickly approached the well amid the humming and chirping of the refugees, while the people who followed him were left behind.
The men said they were acting together, but everyone cowered and trembled and followed, and several men with sticks and hoes were so frightened that they couldn't even hold the "weapons" in their hands.
Ye Wu was impressively in the ranks, holding a wooden stick in his hand, his legs and stomach trembled, and the sweat on his forehead kept slipping.
He whispered to Liu Dehai beside him: "Brother Liu, I always think that something will happen, do you think we can really get water?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, with Xia Gongzi here, we will definitely be able to get water."
This is what he said to himself, and Liu Dehai was also afraid, but in order to get water, he just gave up his life, and he also wanted to follow Xia Beiming.
Their family has a large population and does not have enough water, so it is difficult to continue walking, so grabbing water is something that has to be done.
Ye Wu swallowed his saliva and didn't say anything anymore, but his heart was beating extremely fast, silently praying that he would succeed tonight.
Over there, Xia Beiming and Bu Fan were already very close to the well, a total of four people, Xia Beiming made a gesture to Bu Fan, meaning that one person would solve two.
Bu Fan understood, nodded at Xia Beiming, and the master and servant rushed out together.
"Who ......?"
"Someone grabbed ......"
The screaming stopped abruptly, but it still alarmed the people in the house, and Xia Beiming shouted: "Action!" ”
Ye Wu and the others rushed over in a swarm, protecting the well on the inside and outside of the three floors, and then confronted the people who rushed out of the house with trembling.
"Hahaha........."
I thought that the people who rushed out of the house would fight with them in anger because they grabbed water, but I didn't think that the group of people not only didn't rush over, but laughed at them.
Ye Wu and the others were a little confused, they didn't understand what those people were laughing at, but they still clenched the guy in their hands and looked at the person opposite vigilantly.
"Yo, I'm quite alert, hahaha...... Brothers, look, someone is scared to pee! ”
There are indeed people who are scared to pee, they are all croppers who do their duty, and they usually farm to live, when have they experienced this kind of battle.
Listening to the ridicule of others, the frightened person was so ashamed that he didn't even dare to raise his head.
"Hahaha........."
There was another burst of laughter, and many people dared not speak in anger, but just glared at the person opposite in anger.
However, this look made the group of people laugh even more, pointing at them and laughing: "Hahaha......... A group of rabble, who also want to calculate us, is simply beyond their means. ”
"I can't even lift a stick, and I want to grab water, hahaha...... Where did you get the courage to do so? ”
Some people opened their mouths with disdain, they were more or less bullies in a village, and when they were gathered, they could not be compared to these honest farmers.
What's more, the leader shouted behind him: "Come out!" ”
Someone got out of the way, and everyone saw a man come out behind them, and the man cowered, nodded at the bullies, and said with great flattery: "Heroes, heroes, I have told you everything I know, and please give me half a bucket of water, and my whole family will count on it to live, and I beg you." ”
After the man finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, not daring to look at Xia Beiming and them the whole time.
Xia Beiming had some impressions of this person, and vaguely remembered that this person was among them when they were in the meeting, so he betrayed them.
"Xu Laogen, you are stupider than us!"
"Bastard, how can you do that?"
"You're trying to kill everyone!"
"Xu Laogen, we have been neighbors for decades, if you do this, you won't be afraid of retribution!"
…………
Obviously, the big guys recognized the man, and understood that he had betrayed them, and they all accused the man with resentment.
The man did not refute, but fell to his knees and kept kowtowing and begging for water.
"Get out of the way!"
The leader kicked Xu Laogen, kicked him to the ground, spat at him, and scolded: "Half a bucket of water can be sold for five taels of silver, Lao Tzu will give it to you." ”
Xu Laogen was dumbfounded, he betrayed the big guy just to change half a bucket of water to keep his family alive, but he never dreamed that this group of bullies would go back on their word and not give him water.
He cried and shouted to get up, and hugged the bully's thigh: "You can't do this, you promised to give me water, how can you go back?" ”
The man kicked again, but Xu Laogen hugged him too tightly, and kicked him several times in a row before kicking the person to the ground.
scolded and scolded in his mouth: "What kind of thing, you will believe what Lao Tzu says, Lao Tzu will let you die, will you go?" ”
"Hahaha........."
"Poof!"
The bullies laughed loudly, but Xu Laogen was angry and was kicked by the bullies, and he vomited blood and fell into a coma.
