Chapter 229 Rejection
Seeing the familiar road, the group of people, after being frightened and running for their lives, could not move forward.
They sat on the ground without caring about their image, and no one cared about the mud on their clothes.
They just want to lie down and have a good sleep, eat some hot porridge and take a hot bath.
Everyone had dark circles under their eyes, and those who were injured or infected with colds were groaning constantly.
...
"Brother, we really can't walk anymore, look."
When Shopkeeper Wang saw the two brothers coming, he struggled to get up with the help of his crutches.
"Manager Wang, we'll say goodbye now. We'll see each other again if we're lucky!"
Lin Hongyi directly stated his thoughts, he couldn't always lead this group of people.
Although we were not related at all, we accepted their food.
But the brothers’ contributions far exceeded those small sums.
When the wolves appeared, if the two brothers did not take action, this group of people would surely die.
"No! Big brother." Butler Qiu hurriedly stopped him and said loudly.
The volume was so loud that people were afraid that others couldn't hear it, Lin Hongyi said sarcastically.
"Oh, you really think you're a piece of cake."
“Brother, my wife asks you to escort her to the south.
Your ultimate destination is also the South!
All expenses along the way will be covered by the Qiu family."
Butler Qiu opened one palm to show Lin Hongyi and said silently.
"Five thousand taels."
"Brother, my family is willing to contribute as well." Shopkeeper Wang raised two fingers.
He glanced at the families who had not made an offer, hoping that everyone would bid together and keep the person.
However, those people avoided his sight and some even covered their wallets.
It seems that he is determined to get free protection.
Some people even think that bringing one is bringing, and bringing ten is also bringing.
The price offered by others is already high enough, so I won’t be afraid of being overpaid if I offer more.
How could a person with hundreds of millions of wealth be interested in these trivial things?
Besides, if you serve as a bodyguard for someone, you will be controlled by that person in every way.
She must have nothing better to do than to be a bodyguard.
If she wasn't afraid of attracting attention, she would have wanted to buy a few maids to serve her.
...
"You have too much money, so just keep it for yourself and spend it slowly!" Lin Shu said lightly.
She turned and walked forward, continuing to argue with these people.
She wanted to draw her knife.
Lin Hongyi shook his head. These people really took their protection for granted.
He carried a large amount of valuables with him and dared to expose them in front of outsiders.
With this kind of mentality, it is even a question whether one can leave the imperial city.
When they are penniless and have no food to eat, they will understand what refugees are.
The two figures, one tall and one short, quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
When they could no longer see it, these people panicked and some spoke hesitantly.
"What should we do next?"
"Let's go into the mountains and hide first." Shopkeeper Wang said decisively.
They are all lying on the road, aren't they just there for passers-by to snatch?
It would be better to hide in the mountains and then send someone to the imperial city to inquire about the news.
If the gates of the imperial city were opened, they could go back.
The princes' fight for power and throne will eventually come to an end.
No matter who sits in that high position, they still have to pay taxes, and they won't pay a penny less.
Officials remain officials, and ordinary people remain ordinary people.
Those who were determined to escape from the imperial city began to waver in their determination to escape after experiencing hardships.
When they thought about going back to the imperial city, no one wanted to leave.
Seeing refugees coming from afar, they hurriedly climbed up the mountain with their families.
...
After leaving everyone's sight, the two brothers turned back into the mountains.
There were refugees and troops coming in and out of the road, which was very unsafe.
The only thing that can give the two of them a sense of security is the mountains that others are afraid of.
Lin Hongyi carried a backpack, a big knife and a water bag on his waist, and was leaning on a hiking stick.
Lin Shu was carrying a large knife, a small bag, and a small water bag. The red tassel on the handle of the knife was dark in color.
He was leaning on a hiking stick half a person's height, with neat gaiters tied around his cuffs and trouser legs.
It’s a small ball, but it gives people a refreshing feeling.
The tall and strong Lin Hongyi is a loyal guard.
When he met refugees on the road, Lin Hongyi looked at them with eyes as cold as ice.
The refugees were so frightened that they tightened their arms and thought they had met a ruthless person.
No matter how old they are, they are not people they can afford to offend.
Just look at the big knife behind him, there are brown bloodstains on it.
There were spots on the clothes, which were obviously bloodstains, and some of them had turned into hard lumps.
I wonder how many people were killed to leave so many traces.
...
'whoosh~'
A frightened hare suddenly ran in front of Lin Shu.
With a poke of the cane in her hand, she skewered the hare.
Seven or eight disheveled refugees came running over breathlessly, and one of them pointed at the rabbit.
"That was the hare we found first. It must be returned to us."
“Haha, that’s ridiculous.
The wild animals in the mountains have no owner, and they belong to whoever catches them.
Could it be that just because you have seen it once, it should belong to you?"
Lin Hongyi waved his cane and pointed at the refugees.
"Hmph, you dare to steal your uncle's prey. You must be tired of living." Niu Cheng said angrily.
"I am in charge of this mountain. From now on, you need to pay a toll to pass through this mountain.
Otherwise, you know..."
"I don't understand. Can you tell me in detail what will happen if we don't leave money for the passage?" Lin Hongyi scratched his ear.
Lin Shu glanced at him. This guy was actually stealing her lines.
Forget it, let big brother have some glory.
“Haha, people who don’t leave money for passage.
Of course, the repayment would be through cutting one's own flesh and then lighting a sky lantern.
How about it, exciting enough, right?
Jie Jie Jie..."
Niu Cheng laughed so wildly that many refugees were scared to the point of wetting their pants and eventually surrendered obediently.
They no longer lacked food and drink, and could have meat every few days.
So what if the two men in front of me are very strong? Can they withstand a round-robin battle?
There is also the Taoist priest's unfathomable kung fu, he can kill a black bear with one palm.
He often said that the tender and delicate boy retained the most original taste of the food.
Without adding any seasoning, you can stew a pot of delicious nourishing soup.
He could always mix two bowls of soup every time, and he felt like he had endless energy.
Niu Cheng was itching to think about it, and a string of crystal liquid flowed from the corner of his mouth.
His face was ruddy under his disheveled hair and there was a glimmer of red in his eyes.
Lin Shu's nose twitched slightly, and she actually smelled a smell of rotten meat from this group of people.
It is normal for refugees to have a bad smell.
But although these people were disheveled, they had rosy complexions and plump faces.
His attire from head to toe was a mess.
I don’t know how much it was looted from countless people.
The leading refugee was wearing a pair of suede boots that were 70% new.
Others wear cotton shoes, but none have straw shoes.
Lin Shu's mind flashed with a scene she had seen before, and she raised the rabbit on her trekking pole and said.
"Come up and get it if you want it."
"Hey, you little dwarf, you want to stop me?"
Niu Cheng rubbed his hands obscenely, his throat rolling.
He was determined to catch the hare and the dwarf in front of him.
So he rushed forward, wielding a stick.
"Crack!"
