Chapter 169 Cleaning up
The refugees living in the thatched huts also heard the noise outside and they stood up in panic, but the weather was too cold, so only a few people came out and went outside to check the news.
Then they ran in from outside in a panic, shouting as they ran, "Everyone, run for your lives, there are bandits outside!!"
When they heard that bandits were coming, those who were willing to leave directly picked up the luggage placed nearby and ignored the bedding and other things spread out on the ground. The most important thing was to escape.
But more people are reluctant to part with their belongings and are still busy packing up.
Everyone fled out of the house one after another. Seeing that some people were still taking their time to pack their things, they couldn't help but persuade them to stop.
"The bandits are outside. It's important to escape. Run away quickly!!!"
"This is the only property our family has now. We can't throw it away! Without these things, I don't know how the whole family will survive outside."
"If we don't run away now, we won't know if we'll be alive when the bandits come. Let's escape first, and live one more day at a time."
"Uuuuuu——"
Some people followed the advice and fled, while others hoped for the best and thought the bandits would not come in so soon, so they continued with their actions.
The people sent out from the Black Wind Village to collect information first looked at those who had cars, and then looked at who had cooked delicious food or had a large amount of food.
Fortunately, the bandits had selected their targets and did not pay too much attention to other refugees who were fleeing, so a large number of refugees survived.
Of course, since you are asking for trouble by rushing towards the bandits, you can't blame them for attacking you.
Just then, someone ran out of the house and rushed forward in a panic, not noticing the oncoming bandits, and became their dead soul.
"Boss..." The wife, who was a step behind, saw her husband being killed, screamed, rushed forward fearlessly, and reunited with her husband underground.
"Dad - Mom -"
People who escaped from the house usually followed the people in front of them. When they saw bandits appearing in front of them and people being killed, they were so scared that they immediately fled in all directions.
The children at the back saw their parents being killed and screamed in grief. They also wanted to run forward but were stopped by someone nearby, who ignored the children's screams and pulled them away.
Although the bandits had already selected their targets, they would certainly not let go if they saw people with large amounts of supplies on the road.
After all, the news has leaked out. If they don't change, by the time they rush over, the selected target will have escaped, and the people on this side who have a large amount of supplies will have been let go. Wouldn't that mean they will get nothing?
After all, their main purpose is for money and food.
At that time they can chase after the refugees, but there are so many refugees, and finding someone with a large amount of supplies among so many refugees is like looking for a needle in a haystack. By then, they will have wasted manpower and material resources without any gain, which would be a huge loss.
As a bandit, I won't do this unprofitable business.
What's more, if they provoke the refugees, the refugees will not be afraid of death and will risk their lives to attack them in groups. By then, they will be unable to resist.
They were scattered, with each team consisting of only a few dozen people, and all they could rely on were the guns and knives in their hands.
In the past, they were able to succeed successfully every time. In addition to the reason of weapons, it was also because of their reputation. When others saw them, they would be afraid and would not resist, so they could win easily.
Or maybe they resisted, but their weapons were no match for the bandits', and their numbers were small, so they ended up in failure.
In the morning, when some refugees were about to leave, the people of Yunjia Village grabbed two empty thatched houses and moved in. The two thatched houses were some distance apart.
The thatched house was so small, and there were so many people in Yunjia Village. No one wanted to feel the wind and snow outside, so they had to squeeze in. Those who were quick squeezed into the bedroom, and those who were slow could only squeeze into the kitchen.
This way, everyone from Yunjia Village was accommodated, but they could only get a seat; it was impossible for them to lie down and rest comfortably.
However, they are also satisfied with this kind of environment. You know, there are still many people who have not got a house and are still sleeping outside.
They also heard the noise outside. The village chief asked his son to go out and see what was going on. When he learned that it was bandits outside, the village chief asked Yun Weiye if he had seen any bandits.
When I heard my son say that he didn't see anything, and heard that the sound was coming from far away, I thought that the bandits would not arrive here so quickly.
Then he turned to the people in the village and said, "The bandits are coming. Everyone, pack up quickly. Just take the valuables and food with you. Forget about the other things. Saving your life is the most important thing."
He turned around and told his son, "Go over there and tell them to pack up and run for their lives."
"Dad, this place is quite far from that place. With all the noise outside, they should know about it. They will pack up and run away. I went over there, but I can't make it back in time. You guys..."
As he said this, he glanced at the village chief's old mother, wife and children behind him.
The village chief's wife also came up to persuade him at this time. She didn't want to be separated from her son at this critical moment.
The village chief sighed and asked his son to help pack up quickly.
Many people in Yunjia Village followed the village chief's instructions and packed up their valuables and food.
Of course there are always bad apples everywhere, and at such an urgent moment, there are a few people who are holding back.
"What are you guys still dawdling about here for? Go!"
Seeing that they refused to listen to advice, the village chief ignored them. Seeing that most people were leaving, the village chief also left with his wife and children.
The sound the village chief and his companions heard came from another direction, and was some distance away from here, so they thought it would take a long time for the bandits to reach them.
If it was that group of bandits, it would take some time for them to reach the village chief's position, but he didn't know how many groups the bandits had split into.
They had just walked out of the thatched hut and headed in one direction, but before they had gone far they were intercepted by a group of bandits coming towards them.
"Bandits, run away." The person walking in front saw the bandits, his body trembled with fear, and he shouted tremblingly, then took a step forward and tried to escape to the other side.
The bandits saw them escaping from the thatched hut from a distance. They were their target. Could they let them escape?
"boom--"
One of the bandits raised his gun and fired randomly into the crowd.
"Oh, it hurts so much, I don't want to die!"
A middle-aged man from Yunjia Village was shot and fell to the ground, howling while covering his injured left foot.
His relatives gathered around him, crying and shouting, and the others dared not move when they saw this situation.
The village chief slowly stepped forward from the crowd and said, "Gentlemen, we are all poor people who make a living in the village. Please spare us and let us go!"
