People who search for food usually go through the back door, and they have their own secret codes. This is the first time in a long time that someone has knocked on the door so irregularly.

Everyone was nervous.

Bieye calmly stood up and opened the door. When he saw the person at the door, a murderous intent flashed through his eyes.

There were ten people in total, all with red scarves tied on their heads, representing the identity of the rebels.

The rebels were very arrogant.

He glanced into the room with a stern look, and after seeing the sallow and skinny but plump person inside, he finally restrained himself.

"I'm here to bring you a message from the boss. Our boss is kind-hearted and knows that you don't have enough food. He can't bear that so many of you are starving to death, so he has given you a chance. As long as you are willing to lay down your weapons and surrender to us, We can give you some food."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of cheers in the room.

"Great!"

"There's going to be food!"

"I'm starving to death, isn't it just surrender? Let's surrender now. As long as they are willing to give us food to eat, I can do whatever they ask me to do!"

……

When the rebel saw this scene, a triumphant smile flashed across his eyes.

"The boss only gives you three days. After three days, those who are willing to surrender should put down their weapons and gather at the vegetable market. We will distribute food to you then!"

After saying that, he left with oil on his feet.

If looks could kill, he would have been killed by the leading man a thousand and eight hundred times!

If you don't leave, what if that person can't hold it back and does something to you?

He still cherishes his life!

After the rebels left, the courtyard was still lively, with everyone dancing and happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.

But there are still many people who retain their sanity.

"They killed our relatives. It's good that we didn't fight with them. Why should we surrender to them? Why?"

"I would rather starve to death than surrender!"

"This group of rebels is extremely cruel. I have seen it before. They almost kill every living person they see and steal food whenever they see it."

"Such a cruel person would have such a good intention to fear that we would starve to death?"

"I'm afraid they want us to die immediately!"

"This is definitely a trap!"

"Don't be carried away by their rhetoric and go to the vegetable market unarmed. What awaits you may not be the food they kindly donate, but white knives going in and red knives coming out!"

"They must be trying to trick us into dying!"

Those hungry people have long been unable to listen to other people's advice. They are already so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs. If they don't eat, will they starve to death?

"Don't be alarmist. Don't think we don't know. You don't want us to surrender because you want to use us and become king like the rebel leader. You want us to do things for you!"

"We're not that stupid!"

"We will listen to whoever gives us food!"

……

People with two views are at loggerheads.

Bieye was calm and called Gu Rao aside and told her his thoughts. Although Gu Rao looked complicated and couldn't bear it, she still agreed with his decision.

There is also a hidden danger in staying with people who are not aligned.

Bieye walked to the center of the crowd and looked at those people who wanted to rush to the vegetable market immediately.

"If you want to leave, we won't stay."

As soon as these words came out, the people who were clamoring for surrender suddenly became quiet.

Bieye continued, "Someone has just analyzed it for you. What is in front of you is probably a trap. If you want to leave, I can't stop you, and I don't want to stop you. But I still try to persuade you. It's not necessarily a trap to stay." Death by starvation, but death by surrender.”

"There are still three days left, you can make your own choice."

The gang hesitated.

For three days, a group of people who surrendered gathered together. They not only wanted to surrender themselves, but also incited others to go with them.

There is strength in numbers, so if anything happens...

So many people will always find a way.

Three days later, the number of people who chose to surrender to the rebels was counted. There were 2,357 people in total, including more than 700 strong men, and the rest were all old, weak, women and children.

Gu Rao asked for the last time, "Have you really decided to surrender to the rebels? It's still too late to regret it. Once out of this door, there is no turning back."

A middle-aged woman sighed and said, "Rather than waiting for death here, why not go out and take a gamble? There are so many of us, they can't kill all of us, right?"

Gu Rao, "..."

Why is it impossible?

too naive.

She looked at the five-year-old boy held by the woman, knowing full well that they were going to die, but she was powerless to stop him, and a feeling of helplessness and pity arose in her heart.

Bieye walked to Gu Rao, pressed her shoulder and said, "There is indeed a shortage of food now. If we leave some people, we can save some food, and we can persist longer."

Gu Rao nodded.

"I know."

Just the thought of such a young child being brutally murdered makes it a little difficult to breathe.

There was indeed not much food left outside, but she would not foolishly reveal her trump card and take out food from the space unless absolutely necessary.

Once the space is exposed, it will definitely attract countless people to covet it.

There was no need for her to get burned for anyone.

Those who were ready to surrender packed their bags and dragged their families to the back door, where a crowd of people prepared to leave.

Gu Rao stopped them and said, "Let's go after eating." This might be their last meal in this life.

This group of people didn't expect that they were about to leave. Gu Rao also prepared their meals, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Fortunately, they had maliciously speculated on their ulterior motives before. Now it seems that they themselves are overthinking, and Bieye and Gu Rao are kind people and they have no intention of taking advantage of them.

If they were really just taking advantage, they wouldn't be giving them another meal in vain.

"Miss Gu, come with us and surrender!"

"Your food will not last long. The rebel leader only gave us this chance. If we miss this chance, the only thing waiting for you will be starvation."

"The feeling of being hungry is really unpleasant..."

Gu Rao, "..."

Thank you for your kindness, I don't want to die that much.

She asked someone to set up a table at the back door, and placed the wooden buckets containing porridge on the table, while the other wooden buckets contained large white steamed buns.

"Everyone gets an extra steamed bun today."

Everyone, "..."

Why do you feel like you’re full and heading out on the road?

This thought was suppressed after drinking porridge and eating steamed buns, and the hunger in the belly was temporarily relieved. All that was left was a thousand thanks to Gu Rao.

The group finished their meal and left.

Gu Rao watched them disappear at the corner of the street, unable to regain his senses. He could only watch helplessly as these people headed for a dead end, which was not a pleasant feeling.

Bieye walked up to her at some point, rubbed his thumb on the ashes on her face, and said amusedly, "Didn't you love beauty so much before? Why are you acting like a beggar every day lately?"

Gu Rao turned around and glared at him.

"What do you know?"

"I call this self-protection! Being too good-looking is not a good thing in troubled times. It will be troublesome if someone secretly covets you!"

Being interrupted by Bieye, my mood was not so heavy.
