Chapter 142 Everyone has their own thoughts
The members of the Bird's Nest team stood beside the Lin family, forming a sharp contrast with the refugees.
They were also eager to drink porridge to fill their stomachs, but they would not pour it directly into their mouths like the refugees.
It's not like you have iron lips and copper teeth. It's not cost-effective and painful to burn your mouth over a meal.
But they never expected that this group of refugees would turn the tables.
Let them truly experience what ungratefulness means.
The Lin family rescued them from the sea of suffering, which made the team members deeply realize.
Their only way out is to follow the Lin family.
...
“Meeting is fate, once you leave here you are strangers.
It's best if we live in peace with each other. If someone commits a crime, don't blame me for being ruthless." Lin Erzhuang said expressionlessly.
"We will divide the supplies now, and from now on, we will go our separate ways."
The scene suddenly fell into silence, with everyone staring at the supplies on the platform, fearing that a single grain would be lost if they misjudged it.
The most abundant item was food. The old clothes and bedding that were searched were divided up and worn by the refugees.
Lin Erzhuang turned a blind eye to those old things and pretended not to see them.
Because most of the gold, silver and jewelry he handled were also divided up.
The purpose of letting everyone plunder is to fatten their pockets.
Of course, the benefits you get should be given to those closest to you first.
In the end, everything was divided per person.
Each person received 60 kilograms of grain, five ounces of silver, and a piece of jewelry.
Ten feet of cloth, half a pound of cotton, a coarse bowl, and a little oil and salt.
There are not many miscellaneous items, so whoever is quick enough to grab them gets them.
The bandit's long knife became the most unpopular thing.
Of course, in the end, the Bird's Nest team benefited from it.
Lin Erzhuang's family alone had two horses, a sled, two reindeers and a sled.
Because the Bird's Nest team had more people, they were given a sled and a snowshoe, plus two horses to pull the carts.
Once the supplies were distributed, many people began to become interested.
Some people even picked up weapons and waited outside the cave which had not yet burned down.
The purpose, of course, is to wait for gold.
...
"Brother Meng, why can't we see any gold sand? We should have dug up a lot of gold sand!" Waizui said dissatisfiedly as he held five taels of silver.
"Hmm~"
Wu Meng snorted secretly, thinking that the disappeared gold sand must still be hidden in the village.
As long as these people don't leave, he won't leave either.
Wu Meng believes that there are many people who share the same idea as him.
The gold sand is most likely hidden somewhere and has not been discovered yet.
"Brother Meng, what should we do?" Waizui said unwillingly.
"wait!
Even if there is no gold sand in the village, there are still gold mines!" Wu Meng said gloomily.
He suffered so much and only got five taels of silver.
Although I also have some hidden treasures, they are only a small part and cannot be compared with the gold sands.
If the gold sand was transported away, wouldn’t this group of people still be there?
With the huge temptation of gold mines, he believed that many people would not really leave.
The bandit was dead, so he could take it for himself.
The more Wu Meng thought about it, the more he felt that this was an opportunity to grow and develop.
He whispered a few words to Waizui, and the two of them quickly went their separate ways.
...
The beginning of the Yin hour.
The gate of the village opened and a group of people came out one after another with torches.
In the dragon-like team there were dogs, horses and reindeer.
The leading sleds and sledges were tied with bulging sacks.
Lin Shu sat on the sled, with only her head exposed under a felt blanket.
Baozi lay on the felt to warm her bed.
Looking at the bandit’s den getting farther and farther away, and thinking of the unmined gold mine, I felt really sorry.
She believed that this was a place of trouble, and that the destruction of the bandit's den would soon attract the attention of surrounding forces.
At that time, there will be a battle for it.
Who will win depends on their own ability.
As for those who stayed, their thoughts were shown on their faces, and they really thought they were fools.
[Haha, I'm afraid I'll have the life to earn money but not the life to spend it. ]
...
'Rustling, rustling...'
A series of tiny noises came from the roadside, and Lin Erzhuang's hand holding the knife tightened.
He raised the torch upwards and then tilted it towards the sound.
The tips of the iron spears in Wu Dajiu and Lin Hongyi's hands suddenly stabbed towards the roadside.
'Crack~'
'Crack~'
A black shadow rolled twice, got up, raised the axe and shouted.
"Oh! Give me back my son's life."
Hearing the familiar voice, Uncle Wu paused holding the spear and shouted.
"Stop it, Blacksmith Wang!"
"Gah~"
Before the black shadow got close, Lin Erzhuang kicked it away and it fell into a pile of snow.
"Blacksmith Wang?"
"You...where is my Tiezhu?"
Blacksmith Wang struggled to get up from the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He tilted his head, and when he saw clearly that the person in front of him was an acquaintance, he limped into the line and tried to get his way.
"Tiezhu~Tiezhu~Tiezhu, Dad is here to save you.
Come out quickly! Let's go home.
Wuwuwu..."
The suppressed crying sound echoed in the valley for a long time.
When the team members thought of their own experiences, their clothes were wet with tears.
Lin Erzhuang blinked away the moisture in his eyes, pulled Wang the blacksmith back, and said with concern.
“Blacksmith Wang, the dead cannot be resurrected, and the child has been buried.
The bandits have been wiped out, what are your plans next?"
"Oh~, it's all my fault."
Blacksmith Wang slapped himself hard and said hoarsely.
“If I hadn’t chased the hare, Tiezhu wouldn’t have been caught.
It's my fault as a father that I failed to protect my son. "
Blacksmith Wang felt heartbroken when he thought of his son's tragic death at the hands of bandits.
They had only one son, and the old wife didn't even see him before she died.
He had two young grandchildren to raise at home, and he couldn't bear this humiliation anymore, so he wanted to go to the bandit's lair to find out what was going on.
Unexpectedly, it was a step too late.
Blacksmith Wang glanced in the direction of the bandits' lair, feeling extremely anxious to see his son for the last time.
If he left like this, he would definitely miss the opportunity to travel with Lin Erzhuang's family.
He thought that with his and his son's strength, it wouldn't be too difficult to protect their family and escape the famine.
Who would have thought that his wife and son would die so early.
In order to save the lives of his two grandsons, he had to make a choice.
"Brother Lin, please take my family in."
Wang Tietie knelt on the ground in front of Lin Erzhuang and said sincerely.
“I, Blacksmith Wang, along with my daughter-in-law and two grandchildren, are willing to sell ourselves as slaves to the Lin family.
Never betray, like breaking an oath.
May the whole family die a miserable death!"
Lin Erzhuang was startled and stepped forward to help Wang the blacksmith.
"Blacksmith Wang, you can't do that.
We are poor people who work in the fields and cannot even support ourselves, so how can we dare to buy someone else? "
Blacksmith Wang knelt in the snow without moving, as if he would not get up unless agreed.
Lin Shu frowned as she watched. How could one force someone to buy someone like this?
Although she was optimistic about the craftsmanship of Wang the blacksmith, she couldn't buy him in public!
Because some things are hard to understand.
In the future, those who can't survive will follow suit.
Wouldn't her house become a shelter?
They go forward when they need people and go backward when they don't. There are a lot of people like this.
"Uncle Wang, you better get up first!
The most important thing right now is to hurry on our way. If you want to go with us, you have to bring your family with you first!
It will be dawn soon, this is not a place to stay for long." Lin Shu stepped forward and said calmly.
There was an unspeakable menace in that childish voice.
