In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

"A bucket of water?"

After Lin Hu searched the bodies of several legitimate and second-in-command sons and plundered them of all their banknotes and valuables, they burst into exclamations when they heard the conditions offered by Lin Hu.

Lin Hu looked at their dissatisfied expressions and glared at them with his eyes wide open.

Ask:

"Why? Unhappy with this deal?"

As soon as the words fell, dozens of people around drew their knives out of their sheaths at the same time.

'clang clang'

The second sons were so frightened by this cruel treatment that they immediately begged for mercy:

"enough!"

"That's enough! I was so surprised just now because I thought you gave me too much."

"Yes, yes, we thought, we can just take half a bucket back."

Seeing how they knew what was happening, Lin Hu was immediately amused.

The rebels also laughed.

However, a few young men stood there awkwardly, not daring to raise their heads with blushing faces.

"Okay, one bucket, that's it!" Lin Hu shouted and used a knife to untie the ropes that bound a man.

Then he winked at several accomplices standing beside him.

Immediately, they followed Lin Hu's example and pulled the rope with force.

But most of these people have no training foundation.

His knife skills were surprisingly poor.

After twenty or so people were asked to choose, two of them were actually scratched by the knife.

But those who were scratched did not dare to cry out. They endured the pain in their arms and clenched the bleeding areas.

"Okay, let's go." As soon as Lin Hu finished speaking, the rebels immediately made way for him.

Seeing this, the legitimate sons all walked out of the crowd.

The footsteps were getting faster and faster.

As if afraid that these rebels would go back on their word.

After escaping the rebels' encirclement, they did not dare to give up and headed straight for the north gate, rushing in with big strides.

I didn't feel relieved until I walked out of the city gate of Sunset County.

At the very back, a servant holding a bucket of water shouted:

"Wait for me!"

"Masters, wait for me!"

"The water is in my hand!"

As he spoke, he was breathing heavily, and the water in the bucket was shaking to less than two-thirds full.

They saw that one third of the water they had bought, worth more than two thousand taels of silver, had been spilled.

The anger suppressed in the hearts of a group of legitimate and second-in-command sons suddenly erupted!

"Asshole! How dare you spill precious water!"

"Who gave you the guts to waste water like this?"

"Eight hundred taels, eight hundred taels! Even if I sold your entire clan, it wouldn't be enough!"

"..."

In an instant, countless punches and kicks fell on the unfortunate servant.

It perfectly illustrates what it means for the weak to wield a knife against the weaker.

The servants standing by couldn't bear to see the atrocities committed by the legitimate second sons.

But because they still had to rely on their master to survive, they didn't dare to step forward.

Until the insults from these second-born sons became more and more unbearable to hear.

The blows became harder and harder, and the servant who was beaten couldn't even scream in pain. He was breathing in less and out more!

"He just sold his body for a few years, not his life to you!" A servant shouted, venting his dissatisfaction with the behavior of the legitimate sons.

That crazy look frightened a few people at first.

But soon, the spoiled and domineering second sons came to their senses and smiled evilly on their faces.

Walk towards the person who stood and spoke.

"Selling yourself?"

"It's the same as risking your life. If you die, we'll just pay you."

"We have plenty of money." Several playboys said as they came close to the servant.

The servant was surrounded by them and was obviously timid. He took a step back, but he quickly came to his senses and shouted to the other servants beside him:

"Are you just going to watch them bully others?"

"After returning, will it still be useless to follow those wealthy businessmen? It's just waiting to die. It's better to take revenge now and settle all the grievances, and then join the rebels directly."

"At least we can survive!"

As soon as the words fell, all the servants resonated from the bottom of their hearts.

He looked at the group of legitimate sons with resentment.

In an instant, the legitimate second sons were frightened by their gazes.

He pointed at them and stammered, threatening:

"Think carefully, if you hit us, your family will suffer as well!"

"My family has your indentures!"

"Back off now, and I won't hold you accountable..."

Before they could finish, the servant who had spoken first shouted:

"Don't be fooled by them!"

"These beasts, where is the humanity? Do you dare to believe their promises?"

"Since they are threatening our family, let them stay here forever. Those businessmen won't know where we are and will just think we died with them."

As soon as the words fell, murderous intent filled the servants.

Those dandy second sons finally reacted.

The identities are reversed, I am the fish and others are the butcher!

There is no chance to beg for mercy.

The second son of the seven of them was killed in the street by a group of servants.

A bucket of water was even shared among the servants after the killing.

After simply dealing with the corpse, head straight to the rebel camp!

......

The words are divided into two parts.

Six hours later, the second sons led their team to set off.

It's dawn.

But the wealthy businessmen have not yet received news of the return of their legitimate sons.

Gathered together, whispered:

"Those prodigal sons of these guys, wouldn't they take the money and settle down in Sunset County?"

"With a few thousand taels, how could they survive with their extravagant nature when a drought broke out in dozens of counties? They can't be that stupid, right?"

"But why hasn't the water been delivered yet? Could it be trapped in the county town?"

"..."

"Let's wait and see. We will rest during the day anyway." Chamber of Commerce President Wei Liangping said, comforting himself in his heart.

Their water supply was indeed running out.

Those guards had been clamoring for hours about having no water. If he hadn't had water in his hands, he would have been torn to pieces by those guards.

After another hour and a half of traveling, the sun had risen high.

The temperature also rose.

In front, Shen Qian did not order any repairs.

So the huge team is still marching.

But no one in Wangjia Village had any complaints.

They all knew that these paths were for themselves.

If you are too slow and are caught up by the barbarians, no one wants to experience the pain of Sangqin again.

Until the sun is high in the sky.

Shen Qian then gave the order:

"stop!"

The order was obeyed and everyone subconsciously followed Shen Qian's arrangement and surrounded the carts and ox carts.

Form a circular camp.

The village guards were resting outside the camp.

The scouts spread out in all directions, determining their current location while being on guard against refugees and barbarians.

The caravan behind Shen Qian and her group also stopped.

A guard watched the villagers of Wangjia Village take out water to drink, and swallowed their saliva enviously.

But when they saw the soldier in heavy armor standing not far in front of them, their little thoughts immediately disappeared.

"President!"

"The villagers in the village ahead obviously have abundant water resources. Please buy water for us!" A guard stood up and shouted to the wealthy businessmen behind him.

This sound frightened the wealthy businessmen.

They originally planned to secretly buy some water from the villagers ahead.

But I don't plan to buy it for the guard.

After all, the cost of thousands of people is not a small amount.

If it were in the county town, everything would be fine.

But this is the wilderness, and the other side is also a migratory village, and the water in hand will be gone once it is drunk.

The price must be extremely expensive.

"Please buy some water for us, Mr. President!"

"Please buy some water for us, Mr. President!"
