Chapter 138 Solving the Refugees 2
If Xiao Li had not said so beforehand, they would have rushed over and killed them directly.
It would have been fine if that group of people just wanted to enslave them, but they even went so far as to treat the girls and boys in their village like prostitutes!
When they were proposing to marry the girls and boys they liked, they wanted to give them the best things, but that group of people actually belittled the girls and boys they liked like this?
Xiao Li not only has a younger brother who is his beloved brother, but also a son who is his beloved brother. When he heard what the group said, murderous intent was also revealed in his eyes.
It has been a long time since he wanted to kill someone so much. Even the heroine who annoyed him so much at the time, he didn't have such an urgent desire to kill her. The last person he couldn't wait to kill was the playboy who coveted Yuan'er on the way to Beijing.
The reason why he killed the dude was because the dude had done so many bad things and deserved to die, so he killed him so decisively.
After all, after experiencing the end of the world, he has a strong tolerance for many things. Unless it touches his bottom line, he is generally too lazy to kill people. After all, in this era, there are still a lot of things involved after killing people, and that is really troublesome.
He himself is a person who doesn't like trouble.
Because the distance between the two sides was not too far, even if these young people were angry, they did not make any sound.
But anyone who saw their flushed faces would definitely be able to feel their anger that was almost bursting out.
Xiao Li suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes and turned to face the young man behind him. "A little impatience can ruin a big plan. Stay calm first. Once we find their hiding place and wait for the others to join us, we can catch them all in one fell swoop."
Although there was a way to prevent the group from hearing their voices, Xiao Li still kept his voice very low.
Influenced by him, the others just nodded in response without making any sound, for fear of attracting the attention of those people.
There were only about four or five people on the other side, and they were here for who knows how long before they finally caught a skinny hare.
A guy with inverted triangle eyes was holding a hare and curling his lips in dissatisfaction. "It's not only small, but it also has less than 200 grams of meat on it. It won't even be enough to fill my stomach if I take it back!"
A middle-aged man with a pale face and skinny body came up to the man with triangular eyes, drooling over the rabbit in his hand and speaking flatteringly, "Second boss, I think we have the greatest ability here. If it weren't for the first boss who started it, I think you, Second boss, are the one who can lead us to a good life!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Triangle Eyes glanced at him coldly, seemingly warning him, but his tone was not harsh. "The big boss is our boss, how can I compare with him? I am destined to be a hard laborer. I am obviously the second in command, but I have to go out hunting to support more than 30 people."
"Second in command is right, I deserve a slap in the mouth!" The middle-aged man said as he slapped himself hard. The action was quite fierce and the sound was not small, which even reached Xiao Li.
Triangle Eyes patted his shoulder with a half-smile, "What do you want to do by trying to please me?"
"Isn't this just me feeling sorry for the Second in Command?" The middle-aged man looked at the other three. They were all Second in Command's trusted aides, and shared the same sentiments as him. They had already made a private agreement. "After the First in Command was injured, it was Second in Command who took care of the brothers. The brothers are the kind of people who know how to be grateful, right?"
The other three looked at each other, and seeing that the man with triangular eyes didn't say anything, they all echoed the middle-aged man's words.
"Brother, he's actually right. If it weren't for the fact that the boss was the first to rob Yangliu Village, we wouldn't have recognized him as the boss!"
"We were originally following you, Big Brother, but because he brought it up first, he even said he wanted to be the boss. Seeing that we had objections, he then said whoever was more capable would be the boss. He clearly knew that we were all starving at the time."
"That's right, big brother. Look, there are only about 30 of us left. Why is that? It's because after he ate the two-legged sheep, he couldn't help but want to eat it every now and then. He found excuses to kill all the old, weak, and sick people who followed him into the mountains. In the end, where their bodies went, the brothers knew it, but because he was the boss, they didn't dare to tell us."
The middle-aged man used to be a hangout, and he was good at stirring up trouble and so on.
He looked at the triangular-eyed man with a fluttering look, and immediately added fuel to his anger. "Boss, if you do this, sooner or later our brothers will all be gone. In the end, no one will know whether they will die at the hands of the government or..."
The deliberately prolonged sound and the silent words are most likely to make people imagine.
The man with triangular eyes' expression suddenly changed, and he looked at them with a look of uncertainty, "Did you guys agree on something behind my back?"
Except for the middle-aged man, the other three were his confidants. Upon hearing this, they couldn't help but lower their heads guiltily and pushed the middle-aged man out.
The middle-aged man cursed them in his heart for being disloyal and shameless, but he had to put on a smile and replied, "No, no, we just happened to think so. We are all on your side, Second in Command. How could we agree on anything behind your back?"
"You wouldn't dare!" Triangle Eyes snorted coldly, then continued walking deeper into the forest with the rabbit in his hand. "Alright, we can talk about it later. I'm hungry now, so let's go back and get something to eat."
The four people behind him didn't expect him to react like this. They looked at each other in confusion. In the end, the middle-aged man was unwilling to give up. He gritted his teeth and chased after him, continuing to whisper something in his ear.
After they had been gone for a while, Xiao Li called out to the others to follow, "Let's go, be quiet, and try not to let those people notice we are following you."
Everyone nodded to show that they understood, then followed him with light steps, leaving marks on the road from time to time.
While they were doing things, Xiao Li paid attention to them for a while. Seeing that they were still calm, he refocused his attention on the five people in front.
In order to prevent the five people from discovering that they were following him, Xiao Li also activated his wood-related abilities, causing the surrounding trees to make sounds of wind blowing, in order to cover up the sound of their footsteps.
They followed the five people safely along the way and came to the other side of a cave. They watched them enter the cave and then disappear.
Perhaps because they were next to a cliff, there was a whistling sound of wind all around. Even if Xiao Li hadn't cheated, the group would not have easily noticed their movements.
The group hid behind a large tree, and one of them asked Xiao Li, "Fourth Brother Xiao, are we waiting here now?"
"Yes, wait." Xiao Li could deal with those people by himself, but it would be difficult to say if he took them with him.
So far, he has not thought of revealing his special abilities, so even though he desperately wants to capture and kill that group of people, he can only suppress it at this moment.
"Okay, let's wait a little longer, then we can catch them all in one fell swoop and send them to the authorities!"
They were all young people. After spending half a day with Xiao Li, they didn't learn anything else, but they did learn a lot of elegant words from him.
They didn’t use the phrase “catch them all in one fell swoop” before. What they said most often was “catch them all” or “beat them all to death”.
Someone started it, and soon the others couldn't help but curse in a low voice one after another.
"These beasts, when I catch them, I will beat them up first, and then send them to the authorities!"
"Just one beating? I think they should have been beaten several times. Didn't you hear what they just said? There are actually cannibals among that group. They're not eating because they can't survive, but because they enjoy eating. Even animals are kinder than them!"
"You're right. Beating them a few times is too light. I think it's better to just kill them directly according to the rules of our village!"
"Everyone knows that killing them is the best option, but with so many of them, how can the government just ignore them? If our village really executes them, then we'll be the ones thrown into jail, right?"
"Anyway, it's all these beasts' fault. They all have hands and feet, and the tribe leader said he would give them a piece of land and even lend them food to tide them over for a while, but none of them want to work and they all just want to take advantage!"
"In my opinion, we should just beat them up one by one, and then we can beat them up several times!"
"One person beats them all? There are so many of them, won't our hands be crippled?"
……
"Fourth Brother Xiao, how do you think we should teach them a lesson?"
After talking for a long time, someone finally remembered to ask Xiao Li a question.
It’s not that they don’t want to ask, but they are all angry, and Xiao Li has no sense of existence when he doesn’t speak, so they didn’t even think of asking about this matter.
Xiao Li's actual age is a generation younger than theirs. Combined with his age in this life, he is more than old enough to be their father. He treats them more like a junior.
He is not a person who likes trouble. Being ignored is actually a good thing for him, so he doesn't care much.
Now that he was called upon to answer questions, he pondered and said, "Since this is a matter concerning the entire Yangliu Village, after catching them all in one fell swoop, we can tie them all up and throw them into the village, letting the villagers vent their anger.
Aren't there over thirty of them? It would be too time-consuming and laborious for us to defeat them one by one. Let's get everyone in the village to come, so those who have grudges can get revenge, and those who don't can vent their anger.
After the villagers have vented their anger, they will be sent to the government to avoid wasting water and food by keeping them in the village.
But as for the specific arrangements, I'll let Fifth Grandpa decide when we get back to the village."
"That's right! How could we forget about the patriarch!" Everyone reacted and looked at each other in surprise.
In Yangliu Village, any major event has always been decided by the clan leader and elders. Before that, each household in the village would send someone to discuss the matter. Finally, after discussion among the clan leader and elders, the clan leader would make the final decision.
What they are confused about now has nothing to do with Xiao Li. It is simply because they were so angry that they didn't think about it, and Xiao Li didn't remind them.
Because of this incident, the guilty young people began to quiet down one by one, staring intently at the direction of the cave opposite.
After waiting for about an hour, Yang Quan arrived with his men, followed closely by Erzhuzi.
The three parties reunited. Xiao Li briefly explained the situation to the others, then asked Yang Quan, "Uncle Scar, have you ever been here when you were hunting?"
Because of the famine, there is not much food left in the mountains. The wild animals and beasts in the mountains are starving to the point of being skin and bones. Some beasts will go down the mountain to find food. Social animals like wolves will go down the mountain in groups. If someone is left alone, there is a 99% chance that he will become their meal.
In addition, the family still had some food stored in advance, so Yang Quan had not gone into the mountains to hunt for a long time.
"I've been here. What do you want to know?" He nodded and looked around, starting to wonder if there was any danger nearby.
What Xiao Li wanted to know from him was nothing more than the situation of the cave. "So, Uncle Scar, do you know anything about this cave?"
Yang Quan nodded and said, "This cave has always been there. It's very big and can accommodate everyone in our village. I've heard my grandfather mention it before. He said that when the village was in trouble, they would sometimes hide in the mountains and return to the village after the war.
There is a river inside the cave, which has never stopped flowing except during droughts. There is also a cave entrance hidden deep on the other side of the mountain. If you don’t know about this cave, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice it.
It is no wonder that such a place is used as a place to escape from war. It can be used as a shelter, and when encountering danger, one can escape through another exit. It is indeed a good place to hide.
There were about thirty people in that group, almost twice as many as the other side, and the other side was definitely not as strong as they were now. If a fight really broke out, they would definitely have the advantage.
Xiao Li looked at the people behind him, and then divided them into two, letting Yang Quan take the twenty strong young men and ten young men to the other side of the mountain.
"Uncle Scar, you take your men around to the cave entrance at the back of the mountain and wait there. I'll lead the rest of the men through the cave and drive them to the other side. Then we'll attack them from both sides. The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, and they won't be able to escape.
It takes time to get to the other side, is half an hour enough?" Xiao Li finally looked at Yang Quan and asked.
"About three-quarters of an hour or so."
"Then we'll start going in half an hour."
"Okay," Yang Quan said, calling out to his team, "Follow me, and be quiet so no one sees you."
The people following him nodded, silently and quietly followed him to the back of the mountain.
After they left, Xiao Li looked at the people behind him. More than half of them were young people. The people from the team that had followed him before were also here. The twenty people who were separated were the team led by Erzhuzi.
Xiao Li asked everyone to check if there were any problems with their weapons, and asked them to go in pairs and act together after entering the cave. Then he and everyone waited patiently.
Half an hour, fleeting.
