Confiscated my property and exiled me, I emptied the emperor's old nest to escape famine

Someone found the treasure!

Such news caused a huge sensation among the refugees in Beast Mountain.

The crowd started a new round of discussion:

"Why are they again?"

"Aren't they a bunch of criminals? How come they are so lucky?"

"They just killed a big wild boar yesterday, but they didn't expect to find treasure today."

"God, doesn't it say that good people will be rewarded?"

"Are we worse than these criminals?"

"God is so unfair..."

"Do you know where they found it?"

"How about we go over there and look for it?"

"Maybe I can find something good..."

"Did they really find the treasure?"

"Could they have killed someone and snatched it?"

Because of the big commotion before, the refugees around knew that Ye Fei and his group were criminals being escorted by the bailiffs.

Therefore, in addition to envy and jealousy, many of them viewed the discovery of the treasure with malicious speculation and suspicion.

That’s right, the treasure the refugees were talking about was the food and other items that Ye Fei had stored in the cave.

Not to mention that group of refugees felt like they were dreaming.

Even the Ye family and the Wang family felt that their luck was really good.

"This is truly God's blessing. God has eyes!"

"Otherwise, why couldn't everyone else find it, but we were the ones to find it?"

A member of the Ye family's side branch was spinning around in excitement as he looked at the things that had been moved back.

But he was soon slapped on the head: "What God? That's Fei'er's credit."

"If we want to thank someone, we should thank Fei'er."

"If it weren't for Fei'er, we wouldn't have been able to get these things."

Other members of the Ye family and the Wang family also echoed: "That's right, don't talk about God all the time."

"If God really had eyes, we wouldn't be suffering here."

Compared with the happy couple of the Ye and Wang families, the escort next to them almost popped his eyes out.

They cannot accept this fact even more than the refugees.

One escort said in frustration: "Could it be that they are really blessed by God?"

"How come all the good things happen to them?"

Although the escorts also carried dry food and water.

But compared to the fresh wild boar meat that Ye Fei and his group ate yesterday, and the food and other things they brought back today, the escorts suddenly felt that what they were eating were all pig food.

One of the guards swung his sword, his whole body filled with fighting spirit:

"Don't look at it. Don't look at it."

"Look again, these things will not become ours."

“I really don’t believe this…”

"Let's go and look inside the mountain."

"Maybe we can find some good stuff too."

This call was quickly responded to, and many escorts immediately went into the mountains together.

Similar to the reaction of the Jiechai and his men, the other refugees also began to walk into the mountains in groups after looking at them with envy.

From their passionate emotions, Ye Fei felt these people's enthusiastic fantasy about treasure hunting.

Ye Qingyun looked at these people's actions and muttered quietly: "It's really crazy."

He solemnly warned Ye Fei: "Fei'er, the things we found today are enough for us to live for some time."

"You should stop going out treasure hunting. It's too conspicuous."

"Although they are ordinary refugees, there are still a lot of them."

"If they get angry, it will be a big trouble."

Ye Fei nodded.

She knew that Ye Qingyun's consideration was very thoughtful and correct.

In fact, she originally thought so too.

The Ye family and the Wang family remained calm after their excitement, and no one got involved in the treasure hunt.

Two hours later.

Those who went into the mountains excitedly to look for treasure came back one after another.

They were all listless.

As soon as Ye Fei saw their appearance, he knew that these people had found nothing.

However, some of them still managed to catch some pheasants and rabbits.

Although it’s not much, it’s still a gain.

But more people go empty-handed and return empty-handed.

Suddenly, a shrill voice resounded in the ears of everyone outside the Beast Mountain:

"Help, help!"

"Go and save them, go and save them..."

Ye Fei looked towards the source of the sound.

The voice came from a man in his twenties.

The man was in a very miserable state at this moment, stumbling all the way.

Those who had returned empty-handed after treasure hunting were suddenly startled and seemed to come back to their senses by this voice.

Many people asked loudly, not knowing what was going on: "Hey, what's going on?"

"Why are you shouting for help all of a sudden?"

"What happened?"

Ye Fei and other members of the Ye and Wang families also listened attentively to the following conversation.

The young man took a breath and explained in a trembling voice: "Snake, snake, we encountered a giant python."

"What a big snake!"

"As soon as it came over, it swept away more than a dozen people with its tail."

"I saw with my own eyes that the giant snake swallowed a person alive."

“It’s terrible, it’s terrible…”

The young man seemed to have thought of that scene. He was so scared that he squatted on the ground with his hands on his head, trembling.

The refugees felt frightened after hearing what the young man said.

Then someone asked unhappily: "If that's the case, why did you ask us to rescue people?"

"We can't defeat such a powerful python."

The young man looked pleading: "A few more people, a few more people will do, right?"

"Are we going to watch them die?"

"If we had more people over there, maybe we could have rescued them."

Ye Fei felt that this young man was too naive.

Not to mention whether the dozen or so people are still alive after being swept away by such a huge python.

Even if they were still alive, I'm afraid no one would dare to rescue them.

Sure enough, some refugees shook their heads and refused: "It's easy for you to say that. You can't let us risk our lives to save people."

"We have a family with old and young children, and they all rely on me to support them."

"How about you go find someone else?"

The young man burst into tears in grief: "Who can I go to?"

"We are all from the same village!"

"If even you guys say that, who else can I turn to?"

“Who’s willing to help?”

"These dozen people went to the mountains to look for treasure for the sake of our entire village."

"Now that they are in trouble, you can't just ignore it, right?"

A sarcastic woman sneered: "So what? We didn't ask them to go."

"Besides, who doesn't have several sons?"

"If he's dead, what does it matter?"

"If you don't believe me, just look at their families. None of their families are crying and wailing like you are."

"We can't drag the rest of the family down with them just because they died!"

Ye Fei felt that the young man's worldview must have been shattered by these people in his village.

Because she saw the young man was in a daze and didn't speak for a long time.

According to Ye Fei's understanding, people in ancient times were proud of having many children.

There are many families with seven, eight, or even more than ten sons.

For such a family, the parents may not really feel sad if one or two unfavored sons die.
