On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 21 Ten taels of silver, hurry up, not a penny less!

As for the fact that it ended quickly, it doesn't mean that all these people were killed.

They just knelt.

Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian together only killed one person, because the hatchet was not as light as a branch, and Li Shiyue's strength was a little weak, so he was a little slow when pulling out the hatchet that had stabbed the person's head.

So the remaining seven people knelt down, and they knelt down very quickly, and that's why everything was over so quickly.

After all, she was obviously smaller than an adult and judging by her hair and clothes she looked like a little girl. She was able to cooperate in killing people. Now she was surrounded by more than 20 strong men with knives and their way was blocked. Who would not be afraid?

Moreover, because they had just killed someone outside, Li Shiyue and his group all had some blood on their bodies.

Not to mention Li Shiyang and Li Wangshui, the front of their clothes were covered with large patches of fresh smell of blood that seemed to have just been stained.

How could these refugees, who were already panicking and trying to escape, not kneel down?
Li Shiyang ordered the villagers to use local materials and hemp ropes to tie up the remaining seven refugees.

These refugees probably thought that they would not die if they were tied up, so they all stretched out their hands cooperatively.

Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian also took hemp ropes to tie up all the women and children. Li Shiyue counted them and found that there were five young women and five children. The oldest child looked to be only seven or eight years old, about the same size as a lamb.

The women were very cooperative and stretched out their hands when asked. Li Shiyue saw that they had a lot of wounds on their bodies. After thinking about it, he knew what kind of life they had been leading among the group of refugees led by Dazhuzi.

At this time, Li Shiyang's family also counted the food on the donkey cart, and some villagers had already begun to pick up other things scattered on the ground, as if they were their own property.

After Li Shiyue told Li Shiyang about the situation of the women and children, she kept silent. She stood aside and stared at the women and children who lowered their heads and shrunk their necks and dared not move with knives together with Li Qiutian.

After half an hour, the sky was getting brighter, the torches were removed, and the villagers piled the items on the ground onto the two donkey carts bit by bit.

Okay, now there is a problem, what should we do?
Yes, what to do?
What should we do with the seven surviving refugee men, the five women and the five little kids?
Leaving four people to watch over these people, Li Shiyang called the rest of the people together. He first looked around, and then whispered to everyone: "These seven people may have killed people before, or they may not have killed anyone, but it is certain that this group of people will kill us and steal our food tonight.

We had more people and were all brave men, so we fought back, but twenty-one of us died.

But we still have to fight for our lives on the road ahead, and we can’t leave these people alive.”

No one spoke. Everyone looked at each other. Li Shiyue guessed Li Shiyang's thoughts from the beginning.

After all, he was going to kill even the three refugees who showed him the way, so how could he possibly leave these seven people alive?
For every person alive, the escape route for the people of Lijia Village would become more dangerous.

So, Li Shiyue said, "Then kill them all! This will also avenge the people who died in our Lijia Village tonight."

Not to mention Li Qiutian who was standing with Li Shiyue, even Li Shiyang didn't expect that the first person to respond to him would be Li Shiyue.

The other villagers around looked at Li Shiyue in disbelief, but as they saw the dried bloodstains on Li Shiyue's face and thought about how she and Li Qiutian had cooperated in killing someone just now, they didn't know what to say.

"Kill them! Kill them all! If they don't die, will they have to rely on our food to feed them on the road?

If they eat one more bite, won't our wives and children have to eat one less bite?

Then just kill them all."

Li Wangshui's words mentioned food, which really touched the hearts of the villagers.

Li Shiyang looked at the crowd and saw that they had no objection to killing the refugee men, so he continued, "Those women and children are also pitiful people. They have never done anything bad, so we can't kill them all, but we can't let them go either.

I think we should keep them for now, give them two bags of food on the donkey cart, and talk about it later, how about that? " The crowd had no objection to this. After all, they could kill the strong men of the refugees, but if they were asked to kill the women and children who were powerless, they would not dare to do it.

Then, the next thing will be easier.

The seven refugee men who had their hands tied and thought they would not die were all strangled by Li Wangshui and another villager whose wife and child had died.

The women and children who saw this scene were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy. In the end, Li Shiyue forced them to stand up with a hatchet.

And after the last refugee died, the sound of ding-dong-ding finally rang in Li Shiyue's mind.

"Congratulations to the host, you have completed the second novice mission! You have obtained a chance to win a prize!"

"It seems that if we don't kill these refugees and let them join the Lijia Village team, they will still pose a threat to the safety of the heroine Li Chunli, or even directly harm her.

Now, we have killed them all, the threat has been reduced to zero, and the mission is accomplished."

Thinking of this, Li Shiyue did not stop. She and Li Qiutian drove the five frightened women and several children back.

When he came, he only had an axe in his hand. When he left, he drove two donkey carts loaded with more than ten bags of grain and a group of people. It can be said that he returned with a full load.

After more than an hour, we finally returned to Lijia Village where we camped last night.

Li Youfu, the village elders, and families with distinguished guests were all standing together waiting. Li's mother held Shitou and stood with Li Wangming. As soon as they saw Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian, they shouted.

Mother Li looked at the new blood on Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian's bodies, and her heart skipped a beat. But she didn't know what to say, so she just asked, "Are you injured?"

When Li's mother saw Li Shiyue shaking her head, she looked at Li Qiutian and saw that Li Qiutian also shook his head to deny it. Only then did Li's mother feel relieved.

Finally, Li Shiyang told the twenty or so people what they had done outside, and he also decided to distribute a lot of the food on the donkey cart to those who had worked hard this time, but he did leave two bags for the women and children who brought back.

Because Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian had contributed a lot this time and had killed someone together, they were considered to have made great contributions and were specially given a whole bag of food.

When Li Shiyue returned to his donkey cart, he saw his scumbag father and Qin Tao's family. It was amazing that his scumbag father actually drove the donkey cart over here. It looked like he would follow behind them and the Zheng family's donkey cart.

Li's mother naturally saw the displeasure on Li Shiyue's face. She took Li Shiyue's hand and said to her: "Your grandma agreed. After all, he is your father."

Li Shiyue had no choice but to nod, but she still went straight to find Qin Tao. When she got close, Li Shiyue stared at Qin Tao and said word by word: "Qin Tao, ten taels of silver, hurry up, not a penny less!"
