Jiang Han and his companions were carrying so many supplies, and the only barrier they could rely on right now were these horses. The horses were extremely tall, with shoulder heights generally reaching over 1.8 to 2 meters. With such a burly body, they lacked the ability to run, and their bodies were indeed too burly. Normally, a grassland horse with a shoulder height of 1.3 meters could be ridden with the belly of the horse clamped, and one could sit relatively steadily with the stirrups. But if you ride a hunched horse, you would most likely do the splits on it.
Although such a tall and huge horse is not as fast as a war horse, its momentum is quite amazing, and its huge body is very intimidating. No one wants to be kicked by a horse's hoof as thick as his waist. Although they are not afraid of death barefoot, they will not risk their lives.
In the small courtyard, the brother and sister were shivering in the house. There were bursts of banging on the door outside. The refugees were already preparing to look in the houses of the people. Of course, the focus was on those places that might have food, such as grain stores, inns, and the home of the silly young master who just spent one hundred taels of silver to sell grain.
You said that the silly young man is a martial arts master? Why would he care about that at this time? Even if he is a martial arts master, if we all rush to rob him, he only has two hands, and he can't hit others with one punch. If I grab the food and run, he may not be able to hit me!
The refugees were extremely keen on this kind of risky game, because they had nothing to lose except their lives. They were about to starve to death, so what if they tried their luck and succeeded?
If you gamble, you might be able to get food; if you don’t gamble, you will just wait to die.
Someone is already preparing to climb over the wall of the yard. The wall itself is not high, and it can be climbed over with the help of three or two people. As for whether to open the gate to let the people behind in after entering, of course not. When people are concerned about their own interests, they are often short-sighted and contradictory.
At this moment, they had already climbed over the wall and entered the yard and started rummaging through the drawers.
"Brother! Come quickly! Look what this is!"
"Oh my god! So much food!!! We are going to distribute it! Hahahaha!!"
"Grab it quickly!"
Outside the window, the excited voices of the refugees reached her ears. The youngest child, who was trembling while holding her sister, struggled in her heart. After a moment, she hugged her sister and hid in a small cabinet behind the bed.
"Sister, no matter what happens, don't make a sound. Just wait here. The master is out on business and will be back soon. He and his wife are both skilled in martial arts. When he comes back, you will be saved."
"What about you, brother?"
The younger sister held the youngest child's arm and was unwilling to let go.
"Those people... are stealing the food from the master's house. I want to drive them away. Don't worry, I'm very powerful and I will definitely drive them away!"
The youngest was conveying his confidence to his sister, but the little girl was obviously not so easy to appease. She held the youngest's hand tightly and was unwilling to let go: "No... Brother, go away"
"Sister, listen. Master saved our lives. Now they come to steal Master's food. We should repay the kindness and drive those thieves away. This is what mother taught us, right?"
The youngest son tried hard to persuade his younger sister.
"Then...Brother, please come back soon."
In her little head, the younger sister couldn't quite understand whether her brother could drive away those bad guys. How could her brother, a child, drive them away? What should she do if he couldn't drive them away? She had heard her mother talk about repaying kindness, and she thought that what her mother said must be right. She didn't know what it meant to go out in such an environment.
Volume 25: Chapter Chapter : The Hero Appears
A carnival is taking place on campus at this moment. The large amount of food hidden here can drive every refugee crazy.
It was not enough to just carry one bag, he had to roll up his trouser legs and pour the food into his trouser legs, not caring about the dirt on his legs and his smelly feet, he just stuffed the food into his trouser legs full, making himself look like a mascot at the entrance of a modern supermarket.
Everyone was desperately stuffing food into their pockets, trying to find every place on their bodies that could store food. The whole house was in a mess. The food that fell on the ground was wrapped in mud and stuffed into the mouths of those who came later, who then desperately ran forward to grab it.
"Get out!"
The roar was drowned out by the laughter and shouts, and did not create even a ripple.
The youngest let out a breath and yelled with all his strength again: "Get out!!"
Suddenly, it was as if everything around them was paused. The refugees in the room stopped what they were doing. Occasionally, two of them were still digging for food on the ground and scrambling to stuff the food on the ground into their mouths, but then they noticed the change in the surrounding environment, looked up, and stopped in embarrassment.
"This is the Jiang family's yard. You are not welcome here! If you enter the house illegally, you will be arrested and sent to jail. Get out!"
Yaoer felt that he had used up all his courage. He stared at the refugees in front of him who were like wild dogs, tightly gripping the kitchen knife in his hand, trying to appear more resolute.
Several people near the gate did not move. The child opposite was holding a kitchen knife, his body heaving up and down. The refugees at the back looked around, taking out food and stuffing it into their mouths from time to time. Their entire mouths were stained gray and white, like the painted faces in opera.
"Whose doll is this?"
The crowd began to whisper.
"Didn't they say that only the silly young man and his wife were in this room?"
Some people were skeptical.
"A couple also needs to hire servants, the master doesn't know how to work"
Some refugees swore solemnly.
"You want a doll like this to work?"
"Of course we need to hire more people. One kid is not enough."
"Oh, yes. I seem to have heard that this family wanted to take in refugees to work."
"That's none of our business."
In the crowd, a man walked towards the youngest child with a bulge in his throat. After taking only two steps, he was stopped by the person next to him.
"Niu Wa, forget it, he's still a kid, just take the things and leave"
The man seemed to have some anticipation of what was going to happen next, and the little bit of conscience left in his heart made him feel a little bit reluctant.
Niu Wa shook off the restraints of others with a wave of his hand: "Er Xizi, why are you pretending to be a good person? Do you think that you are a good person just because you stopped me? Are you no longer in the mud? Are you better than me?"
He looked around at the guys around him who were human but not human: "You 1, you, you, you, and you!"
Every time he pointed at someone, the other person was intimidated by his aura and did not dare to look him in the eye: "Look at yourselves, and then look at where you are standing. Where is this? What are you holding? Look at yourselves, and see who is cleaner!"
"In today's world, if we empty this family's food, what will they eat? They will starve to death sooner or later! By then, they will become just like you and me, stealing, robbing, and being beaten to death on the street! But if we don't take it, Erxi, how many days can your wife last? And Ping'an, can your father survive the winter? If we don't take it, we will be the ones to die! Instead of that, let me give him a quick death!"
"Now that you've done it, don't pretend to do it"
He left a faint sentence, and ignoring the people who were looking at each other in confusion behind him, he slowly walked towards the youngest child. Erxi behind him opened his mouth, but ultimately could not say anything to stop him.
A child of five or six years old does not pose much threat even if he holds a knife in his hand. Looking at Niu Wa walking towards him, the youngest child wanted to swing the knife to attack in panic. He roared to give himself courage and waved the kitchen knife in his hand towards Niu Wa.
Although the youngest is young, he is still ruthless. Without this ruthlessness, he would not be able to reach Anping City with a burden. However, the physical gap brought by age cannot be overcome by spirit.
The youngest was kicked sideways and fell to the ground like a broken sandbag. He even slid on the ground and the kitchen knife in his hand rolled out.
He lay on the ground, trying hard to get up, but his body ached as if it was falling apart and he could hardly move. It seemed as if all his internal organs had been displaced by the kick and he could not muster any strength. The youngest tried hard to hold up his body, but his arms would not obey him and he could only watch the other party move.
Niu Wa slowly walked to the kitchen knife, picked it up, shook it, and walked towards the youngest child.
"Baby, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame your bad luck for being born into the wrong world. In your next life, be born into a good family and don't come here again."
He muttered twice, raised the kitchen knife high and was about to drop it.
"careful!"
Suddenly there was a scream behind his ear. Niu Wa interrupted what he was doing and prepared to look back. The next moment, he flew straight out as if he was hit by a train.
The crisp sound of bones breaking can be heard clearly.
"Niu Wa!!"
Niu Wa lay on the ground with a collapsed chest and blood bubbles coming out of his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
The youngest opened his eyes blankly, looking at the large shadow blocking his way. His long flowing hair fluttered in the wind. His figure was solid and reliable, like a mountain in the sky.
M4A1 stood straight with his legs slightly apart. He did not look at the fate of the bullfrog. Instead, he stared at the refugees who were carrying large and small bags in the warehouse and shouting, his body straight, like a cone stuck in the yard.
"Do you... plan to take the things and leave, and I will let bygones be bygones, or do you want to stay here with him?"
The girl's words were calm but powerful.
To be honest, the refugees had only imagined the rumors about the silly young master and his wife, a pair of peerless martial artists, and only regarded them as one of the few topics for entertainment. But now, when they saw with their own eyes that a person jumped over the wall, flew three or four meters on the wall, and kicked someone half to death, they suddenly realized that the rumors were all non-fiction! ?
"It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, we're leaving now, we're leaving now!"
The refugees are a group of people who are very observant of others' words and expressions. No one is willing to joke with his own life. No one dares to mess with such a god of death. Precisely because they are in a difficult situation, they value their lives more and will not take risks easily. Now that others have given them a way out, the refugees will naturally take advantage of it.
As for the Niu Wa, who is that? Do we know each other? It is not worth it to go against such a killing god for a dying person, no matter how good the relationship is.
The refugees came and went quickly. They were embarrassed to take the big bags, but it was a different story with the clothes they packed. The refugees were thankful for their foresight and retreated quickly like the tide.
"Are you ok?"
M4A1 squatted down and carried the youngest child on his back.
"Ma'am... I'm sorry... I didn't save the food... I'm useless"
The youngest felt very guilty. He had not been able to help at all. It was because of him that the lady had to let these people go. So much of her own food had been taken away. The lady must be very disappointed. She had come back with so much trouble to face this situation...
"Don't talk nonsense. We are here only to take you and your sister away. Food is never as important as you."
The youngest was shocked by the implication of the words, and looked up in disbelief. What caught his eye was a picturesque profile and a pair of eyes as bright as gems.
Volume 26: Chapter Chapter : Run away!
Jiang Han had been driving the carriage on the official road for several times. In the eyes of the refugees, he was a complete psychopath. Why were you pretending to be Zhao Zilong when you had nothing to do on the road? This was because the refugees were scattered and only thought about looting and smashing without thinking about anything else. Otherwise, they would have put up barricades for you, used some large furniture, or used some pitchforks to pierce the ground. If you still drove a carriage, they would have twisted your head off!
Jiang Han was getting anxious at this moment. With such a heavy load, the horse was obviously not running as easily as at the beginning. If it continued running for a while, it would foam at the mouth. If the horse went on strike, how would he and his gang escape? Would they have to rely on humans to pull the cart?
Fortunately, Jiang Han's worries did not last too long. The current M4A1 is extremely stable, just like its ancestor Xiao Se, so steady that it seems as if it has lost something. Judging from its performance since its debut, it is the undisputed big brother of Jiang Han, winning MVP in three consecutive actions. The gold content of this is so high that I can only say YYDS. This wave of M4A1s will kill them all.
In this era without all kinds of inexplicable viruses, masterminds, mind invasions, and messy magical attacks, I am invincible!
Jiang Han couldn't help laughing when he thought that there was a more powerful M16 waiting for him in the card pool. As the saying goes, the first father is inferior, the second father is equal, the third father has the advantage and the fourth father wins. When Jiang Han has accumulated enough resources and shouted "Dad is coming", in this late Ming Dynasty, he can really walk sideways in terms of military power.
With one M4A1 on his back and one tucked under his armpit, he blew into the carriage cabin like a gust of wind.
"Did everyone bring it?"
“No one left behind”
Jiang Han looked at the two little kids who were safe and sound and nodded: "As long as you two are safe, people are the most important."
Obviously, they were not touching words, obviously, just a simple concern, but Xiaoer just felt that he could not stop crying.
For the first time, someone told me that I was more important than food. For the first time, someone cared more about my life than things. For the first time, I felt like a human being, not a wandering ghost, a stray dog on the roadside that no one cared about.
"Why are you still crying? A man shouldn't shed tears easily."
Jiang Han touched the children's heads. To Jiang Han, who was used to seeing all kinds of naughty children in later generations, these two children were as well-behaved as two little angels. They would fold their quilts by themselves after getting up. Even though they were not much taller than a broom, they would still get up early in the morning and sweep the house clean with a broom. Every morning when Jiang Han, a lazy dog, got up, he would see a tidy house.
He has told the little ones many times that they don't need to do housework every day, as they will do it themselves if they see it. However, the effect is minimal. The floor and table are still clean the next day.
Jiang Han had never taken care of a child before, so he felt a little awkward when faced with a situation where the child was too well-behaved. He could only educate the child slowly and change him.
"Everyone is here, let's go!"
Jiang Han shook the reins and prepared to leave the city.
The situation in the city was in such chaos, with a large number of refugees running left and right, but Jiang Han saw that the champions along the way were gathering in a certain direction. He didn't know what had happened, but it had nothing to do with him now. In short, the time to escape was about to speed up!
In ancient times, the efficiency of information communication was extremely low, and military exchanges and orders were basically conveyed through flag signals and smoke signals. However, the defenders of Anping City were extremely lazy, as evidenced by the fact that they had not taken any constructive actions after the refugees had been rioting in the city for so long. As a result of these two factors, of the four gates in the city, only two were closed because of the encounter with the Manchu cavalry, and the other gates were still open.
"It seems there are local officials guarding that place. What should we do?"
Sister 45 was leaning against the side of the car, speaking worried words, but her expression didn't show any worry at all.
"You're still worried about the officials at this time?"
Jiang Han complained while increasing his intensity.
"I don't know who has been telling me to obey the law?"
45 Ruthless Complaints.
"How can you be so rigid in your thinking, young comrade? As the captain of Team 404, can't you adapt to changing circumstances? I have to criticize you for this..."
"Stop being so joking! Look at the road!"
"Who is this! Driving a car and riding a horse in the street!!!"
The city was already in chaos, and now someone was driving a horse-drawn carriage recklessly. The city gate officer was so furious that he could not contain himself.
"Master, the carriage looks like it belongs to Cao's residence."
The attendant at the side stepped forward to remind him.
"Cao Mansion, which Cao Mansion? What does it do? Even if the king of heaven comes, he can't ride a horse in the street!"
The city gate officer was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to send people to stop Jiang Han and his party's carriage on the spot.
"Master Cao is a relative of the General Bannerman."
"What do you mean by sir, sir... sir, relatives of sir, they must have urgent matters to attend to, we can't delay, get out of the way quickly!"
The city gate officer performed a Bashu stunt on the spot, gritted his teeth and muttered to himself while giving orders to his men to let them pass.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The attendant felt very aggrieved: "Isn't that what I'm saying?"
There was almost no obstruction. The guards at the city gate quickly dispersed to both sides, allowing Jiang Han and his party to rush out of the city gate. It was so smooth that it was unbelievable.
