Rescue System: Fleeing Host, calm down

Chapter 208 The Land of Refugees

The loud voice suddenly stopped speaking.

With his little mouth squeaking, he finished eating quickly. The little guy's moist lips pouted and he wriggled around looking for the delicious food.

I couldn't find it for a while, and I was about to cry again. Hmm~

The little mouth that was gagged for a moment started to moan again.

Cheng Xiaoxiao teased Bai Bai happily all the way, not caring about the strange mist around him.

When everyone complained that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, they finally walked out of this quiet path and encountered stones all over the ground.

As they got closer, they could see clearly that there was a river across the front of them.

The river is very wide and shallow, and the river beaches on both sides are covered with large and small stones.

The greenery on both sides of the river is gradually becoming more and more, and the clear stream flows through the large and small rocks, making people feel refreshed.

Looking at such beautiful scenery is originally a pleasant thing, but because of the plague, I have no time to enjoy it.

Then, they waded across the river in front of them, climbed over a jagged hill, and finally saw the road. Although it was not as spacious as the official road, there were always traces of people walking on it. It was a small path about two meters wide.

Everyone cried with joy and finally came out.

My heart felt much more at ease, and I was no longer so scared. I just slumped to the ground, looked up at the sky, relaxed my mind, and felt like I was finally alive.

By this time, it was completely dark.

Liu Juan lit a few candles and hurriedly asked the team members to put in the pot and cook. Everyone had been hungry all day, and only nibbled one or two dry pancakes in the middle. Now they were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs. If they didn't replenish their energy, , people are going to collapse.

After worshiping the five internal organs in the temple, everyone cleared an open space and prepared to spend the night there.

The more exposed the night, the colder it becomes.

Although Cheng Xiaoxiao took out the cold-weather cotton-padded clothes, which temporarily solved the urgent need, there were not many quilts, which were not enough for more than 100 people, so she could only help everyone blow the cold wind.

Everyone leaned against each other and took a nap next to the fire, not daring to really sleep to death. In this open-air dam with no shelter, it was easy to catch the wind and cold.

At this time, several carriage frames had been re-erected, and the younger children were sleeping in them, while the adults gathered around the fire to keep warm.

Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh, finally leaving the boundaries of Yanzhou County, and hoped that the road ahead would be easier.

After the team traveled leisurely for four or five days, they finally saw living people walking. At first it was a few sparse people, but then there were more and more people.

Although these people were in ragged clothes and looked sallow and thin, their greedy eyes like wolves were staring straight at the team.

These gathered refugees, in the cold autumn season, were actually wearing thin and tattered summer clothes, some were wearing straw sandals, and some were not even wearing straw sandals, walking barefoot on the road.

Cheng Beiniu looked at them warily and asked the patrols to stand guard all around. Watching the flow of people moving as their team moved forward, the patrols directly displayed their weapons to scare the surrounding crowd.

After finally walking a distance without any danger, they still couldn't breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a few sloppy children were pushed into the middle of the road, blocking their way. The children plopped down on their knees on the cold ground, begging pitifully, "Please, please give me something to eat!"

"Kind brother, please give me some water!"

"My kind-hearted uncles, have mercy on us!"

The sudden change caught them off guard.

Some women in the team looked at the children in front of them with sympathy, but they were also powerless. They didn't have much food, and looking around, everyone was staring at them with eager eyes. If they really took out the food, it would be inevitable.

Will not be robbed.

Moreover, if you want to get food, you must first get permission from the leader of the living team. At this time, the benefits of the team will be immediate.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had to admire himself. He had just reorganized the team, but this happened. If one person in the team showed compassion and gave food to others, even if they walked out of here, they would never be able to keep the food.

Cheng Beiniu shouted, "Get out of the way. If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude."

The children who heard this were a little timid and scared, but when they received warning looks from their parents in the distance, they had no choice but to risk it.

Two girls knelt down in front of Cheng Beiniu. They ignored his sword and pulled off his trousers. They cried miserably, "Uncle, please have mercy on us! We haven't eaten for three days. Really?"

I'm starving to death, please do your best."

Cheng Beiniu was unmoved. He had been traveling around for many years. What tricks had he not seen before?

These adults don't go looking for food themselves, but let a group of children come over to beg for food from others. Such parents are extremely shameless.

But looking at the two thin little girls holding up his trouser legs, they were as skinny as a stick, their hands and feet were red from the cold, and it felt like they couldn't hold up his kick. If he kicked out, would they be kicked to death by him, causing a bigger problem?

trouble?

While he was thinking, Cheng Xiaoxiao came out from behind, pulled out his long sword, and stabbed him with the sword.

The surrounding refugees screamed and covered their eyes, afraid of seeing a bloody scene. They didn't expect this group of people to be so ruthless and kill people as soon as they arrived.

The little girl holding her trouser legs turned pale with fright and her whole body was shaking the moment the sword struck her.

Cheng Xiaoxiao struck down with his sword, and the girl's ponytail tied up with grass and vines passed through her scalp, and most of her hair was cut off.

Cheng Xiaoxiao said coldly, "If you don't get out of the way, the next sword will be your neck." After saying this, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and the tip of the sword moved slowly, sweeping over the children kneeling in front of them one by one.

"Who wants to give it a try?"

The children, who were so frightened that they stood on the spot, were so shocked by Cheng Xiaoxiao's hand just now that they could not speak.

At this moment, after hearing Cheng Xiaoxiao's warning, he rolled away and ran away.

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought this hand was enough to intimidate him, but he didn't expect that the little girl holding Uncle Beiniu's other trousers did not let go.

Her parents only love her younger brother. If she can't get food today, they will really starve her to death.

Dying early and dying later is still death. Maybe dying now is also a relief. He is no longer the loser of the family.

Cheng Xiaoxiao saw determination and a desire to die in the girl's eyes. It was really ridiculous that a seven or eight-year-old girl was forced to die voluntarily.

What cruel people her parents must be.

But even if she sympathized with the little girl, it was impossible to give her anything. Not to mention whether she could eat the food, the hungry wolves around her would definitely swarm her.

Cheng Xiaoxiao retracted her sword, pulled out her signature dagger from her waist, squatted in front of the little girl, and smiled evilly, "Why, do you think I can't do it even if I say it?"
