Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.
Chapter 419 Divide the Meat
"Zhao Lian, what should we do now?" Qiao Feng was at a loss.
Zhao Lian's mind raced. With so many people eyeing these horses, it was impossible for her to take them all.
With so many people, it was impossible for her to beat them all up. After careful consideration, Zhao Lian decided to give them three horses and let them handle things themselves, while keeping the other horse for herself.
These words immediately caused chaos at the scene, with many people even drawing their knives and trying to snatch the horse meat.
Zhao Lian knew this wouldn't work; if things continued like this, she didn't know how many people would be trampled to death.
Even if no one gets trampled to death, with so many people carrying knives, if a disagreement breaks out, they might get into a bloodbath and start injuring each other. In the end, it could turn into a bloodbath just to grab the meat.
"Zhao Lian, this isn't working. We need to think of something." Jordan said with a serious expression.
With so many people rushing in, it would be difficult for them to escape unscathed, especially since their son was still so young.
"It seems we'll have to slaughter the horses and divide them together," Qiao Feng said, looking at Zhao Lian with a questioning expression.
After much thought, there was only one solution: to distribute it to everyone myself.
"That's all we can do now."
Zhao Lian also knew that there was no better way at the moment. If she wanted to get away unscathed, this would be no problem at all.
But I also have to consider the safety of so many people, so after weighing the options, this is the only way.
People started scrambling to get forward, and pushing and shoving began.
"Everyone who wants a piece of horse meat, stop right there!" Zhao Lian tried to stop them, but there were too many of them and her voice was too soft, so it was no use.
In a moment of desperation, Zhao Lian drew her knife and slashed at the horse's neck. The blade was so sharp that the horse's head immediately rolled to the side.
Zhao Lian used her knife to lift the horse's head, and then used her inner strength to make her voice boom like a bell: "Everyone, stop right now, or don't blame me for being impolite. What I'm holding in my hand won't be a horse's head, but your heads. Anyone want to come up and try?"
Everyone heard the sound clearly, as if it were right next to them, and they were immediately startled and stopped.
Everyone looked at each other, trying to figure out who had said such a thing.
"Look!!!"
Then someone noticed the swaying horse head. They were far away and could only see the severed horse head swaying back and forth, which terrified everyone.
Those standing at the front clearly saw Zhao Lian cut off the horse's head; the scene was so fluid and graceful that it horrified everyone.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly frail and unremarkable girl with delicate features easily chopped off the horse's head with a single stroke and even lifted it up. Most people couldn't do that; it must have taken a lot of strength!
Although the people behind did not know what was happening ahead, they could see the horse's head from a great distance.
The horse had been dead for a short time, and its blood had not yet congealed when Zhao Lian chopped it in half and held it above her head. Fresh blood splattered down, and the scene was extremely terrifying.
Seeing that no one made any further moves, Zhao Lian knew that this was just a temporary intimidation.
"Listen up, everyone! Anyone who wants horse meat, stop now. Men and women, line up separately and listen to my instructions." Zhao Lian spoke again using her inner strength, and her voice carried far.
Surprisingly, this girl is so small in stature yet speaks so loudly; everyone can see that Zhao Lian is no ordinary person.
This little girl must know kung fu!
Hope surged in everyone's hearts. With so many people, if they tried to seize the horse meat by themselves, they would surely end up fighting bloody deaths, and their chances would be slim.
And even if you manage to snatch it, you don't know if you'll actually be able to eat it.
Now that someone has stepped forward to take the lead, everyone is naturally happy to do so.
"Everyone hurry up, men and women line up separately!" Zhao Lian urged loudly again.
People at the scene realized what was happening and quickly lined up on opposite sides, men and women respectively, and soon they were in a proper queue.
Seeing that everyone obeyed her commands, Zhao Lian felt a little relieved, and the situation was finally under control.
"Everyone here, raise your hands if you're the butcher!"
Zhao Lian then spoke again, prompting all the butchers present to stand up.
Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, someone hesitantly raised their hand.
"I~"
"I~"
"And me~"
More than a dozen men raised their hands, and Zhao Lian told them to come over and kill the horse together.
Everyone else at the scene moved to the side and waited to be divided up the meat.
After this arrangement, the scene immediately quieted down.
The butchers' eyes gleamed with excitement. They used to slaughter pigs, but had never slaughtered horses before. They never expected that they would be able to eat horse meat while fleeing from war.
Almost all of them carried pig-slaughtering knives, which were their tools for making a living, and could also be used for fleeing and self-defense.
"Uncle Chen, Teng Fu, Liang Chong, you guys come and help out too." Zhao Lian said seriously, while whispering a few words in their ears.
Zhao Lian reminded them to watch out for the butchers if they were hiding any horse meat. If each person hid a pound or two, they would be short dozens of pounds. Right now, with so many people, this amount of meat probably wouldn't be enough to go around.
"it is good!"
Several people immediately stepped forward and joined the ranks of those killing the horse.
"Zhao Lian, that's a great idea!" Qiao Feng's eyes sparkled with laughter as he gave Zhao Lian a thumbs up.
Zhao Lian smiled helplessly and said, "There's no other way. This is the only way for now. There are so many people here, so this is the only way to divide the horses. Otherwise, if it causes a riot, there could be countless deaths and injuries."
Putting everything else aside, just look at how these butchers all carry pig-slaughtering knives. If you really anger them, who knows how many people will lose their lives.
The others weren't idle either; Zhao Lian had Sun Shangxiang lead them up the mountain to gather firewood.
As expected, professionals do professional work. These butchers were quick and efficient, and soon they had successfully butchered and deboned the four horses.
After the butchers finished slaughtering the horses, the others gathered the firewood.
Zhao Lian selected some women to start a fire, and they put the chopped horse meat on the fire to roast. In less than half an hour, the air was filled with the aroma of meat, and everyone began to get excited.
"Everyone, please line up properly, I'm going to start distributing the meat!"
At Zhao Lian's command, everyone quickly lined up, their speed leaving Zhao Lian speechless.
Luo Xiu, Liu Ma, Sun Shangxiang, and the other women were in charge of distributing the meat.
The Jordan brothers, along with Teng Fuliang and Liu Jinzhu, were responsible for maintaining order, while Chen Yong and his son, Yan Guihua and Ling Yun were responsible for looking after the children.
"Everyone, line up properly, don't rush, one at a time." Zhao Lian didn't dare to be careless at all, her eyes cautiously watching the crowd, afraid that someone might take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Because there were too many people, each person could only receive a few pieces of meat. Zhao Lian asked those who received meat to move to the other side to avoid receiving duplicates.
