Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

After discussing the follow-up arrangements, Song Shiwei and Huang Changyuan got up and left. On the way, Song Shiwei told Huang Changyuan that he would also go to pick up the people who came to the town to buy things, and Huang Changyuan naturally agreed.

Huang Changyuan and all the villagers in the village have a blind admiration for Song Shiwei.

The main reason was that the skills Song Shiwei displayed in front of others were too outstanding.

Huang Changyuan gathered all the old, weak, women and children in one place, naturally including the women from the Shen and Xie families. The men in charge of the family surrounded them in the middle first, followed by the young and middle-aged men in the village and the officials, who formed another circle. With such a heavy encirclement, it was difficult for the refugees to get close to the weak points in the team.

Finally, Huang Changyuan gave everyone repeated instructions, asking them not to run around no matter what happened, so as to avoid being separated in the chaos.

Song Shiwei followed the people arranged by Liu Dong to walk to the town entrance. When passing by the victims, everyone felt those hidden gazes and subconsciously raised their weapons, revealing the bloodstains on them.

Song Shiwei suddenly turned around, her eyes cold, scaring away the man who was approaching quietly from behind.

When the man saw that he was discovered, he gave Song Shiwei a flattering smile and backed away, rubbing his hands.

The group walked to the town entrance and stood still. The officers and soldiers guarding the town came over with serious faces to ask them. After learning the situation, they didn't say anything and only told them not to cause trouble.

Perhaps because they saw that Song Shiwei and his group didn't take anything and were still holding blood-stained weapons in their hands, the people who had planned to do so silently suppressed their thoughts and turned their attention to Huang Changyuan.

Not only did those people's lips not peel, but their complexions were also rosier than those of the other victims. Among so many people, there was not even a skinny person. It was obvious that this group of people had no shortage of food and drink and were really fat sheep.

Not only were the victims who had been there earlier planning to target Huang Changyuan and his group, but the victims who arrived later were doing the same. This group of people was so conspicuous that it was hard not to notice them.

Song Shiwei stood at the entrance of the town and noticed that many of the victims were obviously strangers, but after looking at each other, they consciously walked to one side. Later, more and more people gathered together, and more than a hundred people gathered together in just a cup of tea. What they talked about was naturally robbing the fat sheep.

Seeing from afar that Huang Changyuan was also observing the victims gathered together, Song Shiwei watched and listened calmly until Zhang Wu and his group pushed the cart out.

The victims who were previously looking at Huang Changyuan's side instantly looked at Zhang Wu and his group who were coming out of the town, their eyes fixed on the cart, and the crowd became even more restless.

The group of people who had originally made a great harvest now realized the seriousness of the situation. They immediately put away their smiles and stared at those gazes with murderous eyes.

Zhang Wu led the carriage to Song Shiwei and said sternly, "Master, why are there so many people?"

"Most of them are disaster victims who came here after you left. They are planning to target us now. You better be careful."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wu immediately drew out the long sword from his waist, held the carriage with one hand and the sword with the other, and stood in front of Song Shiwei: "Master, be careful too. I think these people are going to make a move."

Song Shiwei responded.

Huang Hai, Liu Daming and others also took up their weapons in their hands. Everyone spontaneously surrounded the cart in the middle and walked forward slowly. They were even more nervous when passing by the victims. Until they were about to pass through the group of victims and saw that they were getting closer and closer to the village team, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, they heard a noise behind them.

One person hid among the victims and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Let's go while they only have these people. As long as we can grab something, our wives and children at home won't go hungry."

Yes, look at these people, they have several carts full of things, and two carts are full of water. As long as we rob them, the elderly and children at home will not go hungry.

At once, everyone rushed towards Huang Hai and others.

Song Shiwei took out a crossbow from the entrance of the carriage and shot an arrow at the forehead of the man who had just spoken. The man fell to the ground and died before he could even scream.

The death of one person caused the victims who were rushing forward to pause for a moment.

Huang Hai seized this opportunity and urged everyone to speed up while shouting: "We are all here to escape. Don't you have elderly people and children waiting for you at home? If you die, how will they live in the future?"

Many of the victims stopped.

"If you are afraid of a hammer, you will eventually lose your life. Rather than starve to death, it is better to die well-fed. With a scar as big as a bowl on the head, you can be a hero again in 20 years."

"If we take their stuff, we can survive again. Don't be afraid."

"If anyone wants to be a coward, just go ahead and think about the elderly and children who are starving at home before you go."

The men who wanted to leave looked grim and continued to rush towards Huang Hai and others with kitchen knives in hand. Many other victims around joined them. Just for a bite of food, more people rushed towards Huang Changyuan. Everyone could only take care of themselves for the time being.

Zhang Wu always remembered Song Shiwei's instructions, and when the victims rushed over, he followed her closely.

The victims rushed forward and all rushed towards the cart with a clear purpose.

Nowadays, everyone regards food and water as their lifeline, so how could they let these disaster victims succeed? Facing all the people rushing up, Huang Hai and others became extremely anxious and just chopped at those people, not caring where they chopped, as long as they didn't let anyone steal the food and water.

The others attacked without any plan, but Song Shiwei and Zhang Wu were at ease. As long as someone got on the carriage, the two of them would attack directly. Unlike Zhang Wu who only cut off the hand while leaving a way out, Song Shiwei would definitely attack with a fatal blow and slit the throat with one sword.

More and more victims were dazzled by the food and water, and rushed towards Song Shiwei and others, with the only thing in their eyes being the food in the car.

Song Shiwei and his companion were quickly surrounded by the crowd and separated from the others.

"Master, there are too many people to kill. How about we retreat first?"

Song Shiwei was also tired of killing, so he nodded without thinking, and jumped lightly onto the carriage: "Let's go."

Zhang Wu immediately got on the carriage, chopped off the hands of several people who approached him, then waved his whip and drove away without caring about anything.

Many people were knocked down and trampled by the horses' hooves. The victims who were farther away saw that the carriage was coming at them with great force and without stopping, so some of them who still had some sense quickly dodged.

After the two men left, Huang Hai's people could not handle so many people. They had no choice but to abandon some of the carts and rush towards Huang Changyuan with their men. Huang Changyuan also left here with his men and walked towards the forest nearby.

After a cup of tea, Song Shiwei and Zhang Wu were completely away from the victims. They drove the carriage into the woods on the side of the road and stopped only after they had gone a mile in the woods.

"Master, is there anything wrong?"

Song Shiwei shook his head: "I'm fine, are you not hurt?"

"I am fine, but there are too many people. Two fists cannot defeat four hands. I now understand the situation."

Seeing Zhang Wu's distressed look, Song Shi smiled slightly: "No matter how powerful your skills are, you can't withstand the continuous impact of the human shield."
