The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine

Faced with life and death, who doesn’t want to survive?

But when survival and dignity are put in front of us, people often choose the more vulnerable side.

Even though the villagers were filled with fear and despair, no one dared to step forward - until now they were still hiding behind piles of rocks or in the bushes.

Such a cowardly display only infuriated the invaders.

At this time, a fat man with a thick beard rode out on his horse, holding a big knife that gleamed with cold light, and his eyes were full of cruelty and ruthlessness.

"Ah--" As his warhorse galloped to the edge of the village and stopped, two extremely shrill human voices were heard.

Then two figures fell down, their heads were separated from their necks, and blood splattered everywhere.

Seeing the tragedy happening before her eyes, Jiang Jinhe couldn't help but clench her fists, her nails piercing into her palms without her feeling anything - she recognized that one of them was one of the guards who accompanied her to protect the Zhou family's safety.

"They are bandits, not ordinary robbers."

Song Dadi suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, glancing at the surrounding family members with a vigilant look.

The old man looked extremely solemn, and it was obvious that the situation was far more dangerous than it seemed.

So he whispered, "No matter what, you must adapt to the situation. Enduring humiliation and seeking peace is the best strategy right now. You must not leak any information easily, and you must not act rashly."

After hearing this, Jiang Jinhe nodded slightly to show that he understood.

"Dad, please rest assured. Your daughter won't act rashly again."

As soon as she finished speaking, her brother, who had always been silent, straightened his back and said firmly, "Dad, I will protect my sister's safety."

"Ah."

After receiving the unanimous response from the children, Song Dadi felt a little relieved and was the first to step out of the door to face the unknown challenge.

Behind him were his mother and several sisters following closely.

Seeing that their relatives had already walked out the door, other villagers also gathered in the open space to wait for the upcoming decision of fate.

Faced with so many panicked people, the one-eyed burly man in the lead slowly raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and immediately the originally noisy village returned to peace again.

However, behind this silence lies a deeper sense of panic.

Jiang Jinhe's heart was filled with ripples: Uncle Song is indeed a master of predictions.

These evildoers are not only numerous and cruel, but also have strict discipline. No wonder they can openly commit crimes here!

Soon, the fat gangster rode forward and stopped a few steps away.

"Offer all your valuables, food, water, and other belongings."

The sound resounded through the sky, and everyone who heard it trembled.

"If you satisfy Big Brother's request, you may be able to keep your life and leave on your own."

A sneer flickered across his lips as he continued his threats: "Anyone who disobeys orders and attempts to resist will be shattered to pieces! If the head of a family dares to violate the rules, the entire family will suffer catastrophic disaster! If an entire village dares to resist, the entire clan will be sacrificed as a drink condiment."

After hearing this, the scene fell into dead silence again. No one dared to raise any objection. They were all frightened to the extreme and could only obey orders obediently. They hurriedly collected all the wealth they had and handed it over to the other party for inspection and acceptance.

This scene amused the one-eyed leader. "Look at this fat kid, he scared everyone so much they peed their pants! Who would choose to fight us?"

The fat man smiled flatteringly and said, "It's not my credit at all. It's all because of your reputation that these people are so timid."

After hearing the praise, the guy laughed wildly with elation. His laughter was as unpleasant as the ringing of a broken bell, and it was especially harsh in the quiet night.

The child was so frightened that he started crying loudly.

The rest of his men also followed suit and arrogantly mocked the group of victims.

Soon, amidst the panic and helplessness of the crowd, almost all the precious things fell into the hands of the thieves and were placed into a pile of messy goods.

At this moment, Xie Xiaofang was caught in a dilemma as she held three pieces of rabbit skins that she had carefully prepared to make new clothes for her children.

You know, this is a rare opportunity for the three little girls to wear warm and beautiful coats; but what if this angers the enemy and causes tragedy?

Just when he was struggling with the dilemma, he saw his usually stubborn mother-in-law resolutely taking out the remaining food and a little silver to offer to him as a token of her sincerity. He then gritted his teeth and decided to give out the supplies he had worked so hard to save innocent people from suffering.

Unfortunately, after searching for a while, I found nothing except some worn-out clothes. I suddenly realized that it was very likely that they were accidentally lost along the way or had been stolen some time ago.

Thinking that even if it really existed, it would only become a target for the other party to plunder, I felt a little relieved, but I couldn't help but feel sad and tears rolled down my face...

All of this was seen but never spoken of. In fact, as early as the beginning of the enemy's arrival, Jiang Jinhe had quickly transferred and properly placed the valuables to prevent them from falling into the hands of evil people and being wasted.

Then several minions came up with big baskets to collect the stolen goods and pack them up and take them away without mercy.

Neither food, gold, silver, nor even slightly decent clothing was spared.

Even the home of Mr. Zhou, a prominent local squire, suffered an unprecedented catastrophe and lost everything. Even the gorgeous clothes he wore were forcibly taken away.

When the leader saw that there were only a few pieces of clothing in his personal storage box that could be robbed, he expressed his dissatisfaction: "How can you be so poor! I'm afraid we'll return empty-handed this time."

The one-eyed leader then turned to another strategy and planned to take other measures to make up for the failure of this operation.

"According to the old rules, we can select some young women and handsome young men from these villagers and sell them to them, and perhaps we can make a small profit, which is better than nothing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xiaohui unfortunately became the first victim and was forcibly dragged onto the horse. She struggled desperately to break free from the restraints.

Finally, when the hat fell off, a face was revealed, which was not stunning but had a very elegant look, which made people feel pity.

Jiang Jinhe caught a glimpse of Zhou Xiaohui looking around anxiously in the crowd, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Her hand involuntarily grabbed Song Wenqin's wrist and pulled him to the back of the crowd. Her rapid and low voice pierced Song Wenqin's ears like a needle: "Don't move, don't move."

She knew that if Zhou Xiaohui discovered Song Wenqin at this time, it would definitely trigger an unpredictable crisis.

She didn't want her husband to be targeted by those greedy and brutal bandits at such a critical moment.

Soon after, several more girls from the village were roughly dragged out of the crowd and tied to horses.

The screams and cries mixed together, heart-wrenching.

One of them, a handsome boy who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, unfortunately could not escape the disaster and was tied up and taken away together with the girls.

At that moment, the air seemed to become extremely oppressive, causing everyone's heart to tighten involuntarily.

When it was finally their turn, Jiang Jinhe's muscles stiffened as stone in an instant.
