Chapter 47: Killing Chickens and Monkeys

How difficult it was to go along the way, she saw it with her own eyes, not to mention the two children who had no one to protect them, even those who dragged their families on the road, and there were many people who died.

She once thought that Ye Lan's cheap girl and her short-lived brother must have died on the way to escape.

Who knows, that pair of sisters and brothers actually have such a big life, not only are they alive and well, but they seem to be living well.

She saw from a distance that although their sister and brother were embarrassed and dirty, she could still see that their faces were rounded.

Ye Jiao was puzzled, on the way to escape from the famine, everyone else was dead, but this sister and brother were better than the original, and God was too kind to them.

Fortunately, Ye Lan's cheap hooves were self-aware and left by herself, and from now on, no one would rob Xia Gongzi with her.

Ye Jiao is very confident in winning Xia Beiming, the reason is very simple, she didn't do anything before, and she raised her whole person like Miss Jiao from those rich families in the town.

Except that the degree of food and clothing cannot be compared with those young ladies, the rest, she is no different from them.

The only regret is that on the way to escape from the wilderness, she suffered a lot of torture, and she was not as glamorous as she used to be.

But don't be afraid, the big guys are like this, and she originally had a better foundation than others, even if she has become sloppy now, she is also one of the more outstanding in this group.

On the other side, the person who replaced Xia Beiming's position and took the refugees to grab water was named Zhou Hu, who was the village chief of Zhoujia Village.

Since he started to flee the famine, no one has taken him seriously, he is used to being the village chief, and he is used to pointing fingers at the villagers, and he is not used to this kind of life.

Xia Beiming canceled the operation, which made him see an opportunity, so he took out the momentum he had when he was the village head, waved his arms, and led the refugees to prepare for a big fight.

The refugees are forced by life, and they are not strong-willed, in order to survive, no matter who this person is or what ability he has, they follow in a daze.

There is no organization, no planning, and the refugees are rushing towards their goals with the desire for water and the energy to survive.

As for Zhou Hu himself, seeing so many people listening to his orders, his great vanity has made him forget about the potential crisis.

He didn't even send people to check on or instruct the refugees on how to act, so they shouted, "Village name, rush, take those people down, we will have water, and we can live well."

"A sentence to live well" made the refugees even more crazy, and they rushed up desperately.

The results were still very useful, even if the people were ambushed, but hundreds of refugees swarmed and injured many people.

However, it was only an injury, and the person who occupied this well was not a bully, he was the head of a dart game, named Qiu Yong.

The kung fu of his subordinates is not weak, and he is followed by his subordinates who used to run darts together, and everyone has kung fu.

They seized the well, and although they had accumulated money by selling water, they were still very conscientious and sold two taels of silver for a bucket of water without opening their mouths to the refugees.

Compared with other buckets of water that sell for three or five taels, it is much better, and they do not bully others and do not criticize the refugees too much.

When there was a water grab, Qiu Yong was worried that the refugees would come to their side, so he had already made arrangements.

In order not to kill innocents indiscriminately, he plans to capture the thief and capture the king first, and control the person who took the lead in making trouble, and the remaining refugees will not have much problem as long as they threaten it.

The refugees rushed over and wounded Qiu Yong's men, and he took the opportunity to lead people to capture Zhou Hu, and then shouted: "Whoever dares to act rashly, I will kill him, and then kill you." ”

The cold big knife drove to his neck, Zhou Hu was almost scared, and shouted tremblingly: "Don't, don't kill me, don't move, don't mess around, stop it.........!" ”

The refugees were shocked for a while, and most importantly, in order to let the refugees know their ruthlessness, Qiu Yong had Zhou Hu cut off one of Zhou Hu's arms.

Zhou Hu screamed again and again, blood spurted everywhere on his broken arm, and with the swords in the hands of Qiu Yong and others as a deterrent, the leaderless refugees suddenly lost their fighting spirit, and even began to regret why they were so impulsive.

"We were wrong, we don't dare anymore, don't kill us, I beg you, spare us........."

Many people trembled like chaff, their faces turned pale, and they collapsed directly to the ground, constantly kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Qiu Yong knew that it was not easy for these people, and if they were not forced to be helpless, they would not have taken the risk of doing this.

But he knows a truth, he must not be soft-hearted, otherwise, these people who follow him will not believe him and willingly listen to his orders.

In order to put an end to such incidents, Qiu Yong decided to use Zhou Hu as the chicken, so he asked Zhou Hu who was lying on the ground and wailing to set up and tie it to the big tree next to the well.

"I didn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, but if you hit us with your ideas, you did it yourself."

"How I, Qiu someone, behaves, the big guys can see it, you are unjust, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Come on, slaughter this person to set an example, if anyone dares to come to grab water in the future, it will be his fate."

As soon as Qiu Yong's words fell, someone walked up to Zhou Hu and slashed his neck with a knife under his frightened gaze.

"Ah.........h

"Killed, killed........."

The refugees were so frightened that they fled in all directions, not to mention grabbing water, and now they just wanted to escape from here and run away.

Qiu Yong didn't expect the refugees to have such a big reaction, and the scene was uncontrollable for a while, even if his people pulled out big knives as a threat, they couldn't stop the refugees from escaping.

The stampede happened again, some fell, some stepped on, and in an instant, blood was dripping, and purgatory on earth was formed in an instant.

"Don't run away, stop!"

Qiu Yong shouted, causing such a situation was not what he wanted to see, his original intention was deterrence, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.

He watched the refugees push and trample each other, and watched many people die as a result, but he couldn't stop it.

The refugees lost their minds, and his shouts sank like rocks into the sea, which had no effect at all, and Qiu Yong was anxious.

"Boss, leave them alone, they are to blame for all this, and they can't blame others, let's just guard the well and ensure that our own people are not affected."

"But how innocent they are!"

Qiu Yong felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, in troubled times, it was always these ordinary people who were really affected.

He is a man in the rivers and lakes, and he originally had a chivalrous heart to fight for righteousness, but now he has not done it, but has become an executioner who creates trouble, which is how he can be happy.

"Darthead, this is not your fault, if it weren't for their greed and easy provocation to grab water, what happened now would not have happened."

"Everything has a cause and must have an effect, everything is their choice, and they should bear the consequences."
