Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

"Brother, are you familiar with them?"

"I'm not familiar with him. We just met yesterday." Boss Liu answered casually, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.

He was still thinking about what Miss Ye said about the riot.

Miss Ye spoke with great confidence and pointed out several people in a row. He also observed and indeed found that there were some problems with those people, which made him alert.

But a riot is no small matter. If it really happens, it would be fine if he can suppress it, but if things get out of hand, he will be in big trouble.

"Brother, which girl are you thinking about now? You are so absorbed in it."

"It must be Miss Hong'er from Zuichunlou. The boss likes her very much recently, so he has to think about her all the time."

Listening to his brothers' teasing, Boss Liu felt very annoyed.

"You all need to be alert and take a good look at these refugees outside the city. They are not normal."

Boss Liu slapped the leader Liu Gentou in annoyance.

His move was not heavy, and Liu Gentou did not take it seriously. He just looked in the direction of his boss's finger.

"Boss, are you overthinking it? They don't do this every day. I don't think there's anything wrong."

"If you can find some problems, you will be the boss."

Boss Liu glared at him, then squatted at the city gate and looked out. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but after watching for a long time, he really noticed some problems.

"Come over here and take a look. Are those guys hiding something? They're just the men at the corner."

Liu Gentou looked for a long time but didn't find anything unusual. He was about to reply to his boss when he was suddenly dazzled by something.

Looking again, I saw the flash of knives in the hands of those men.

"Boss, I saw them with knives in their hands. Could they be bandits?"

"Do you know how to speak more quietly? Are you afraid they can't hear you?" Boss Liu slapped him on the head without any hesitation.

At this moment, Zhao Wenzhu squeezed out of the crowd, followed by a dozen or so faces that were both unfamiliar yet familiar.

Each of them held a weapon such as a stick in his hand.

"Boss, there's a group of refugees at the city gate, all armed men, should we go out and teach them a lesson?"

"They took action?!"

Boss Liu fell on his butt due to panic.

"Those are the people who are here to escort us out of the city. They have nothing to do with the refugees, and they won't be entering the city either."

Du Jiayi looked at Boss Liu with a smug look.

It's no wonder that the men from Dujiawazi can really compete with these yamen runners when they stand there. He even thinks that they are stronger than the yamen runners.

"Looking at the looks of those people, they might want to attack us. You should pay attention. It might be a great achievement."

After Ye Chuyi finished speaking, he led the men and horses directly towards the city gate.

A dozen men surrounded them tightly in an instant.

"No, Miss Ye, you haven't told me how yet," do it.

"Boss, what does she mean by great merit? If there is any good thing, you must remember to bring your brothers with you. We will definitely listen to you, Boss."

Liu Gentou came up to him with a flattering look on his face.

"The refugees are going to riot. Suppressing them will be a great achievement. Will you do it?"

After Liu Lao Da finished speaking, he glared at him fiercely.

Liu Gentou quickly shook his head. A riot could result in death, and he didn't want to risk his life.

"Boss, is there really going to be a riot? Why don't we run away? We brothers alone will not be able to suppress it."

"Run, where are you going?"

There are refugees everywhere outside. Running out will only lead to your death faster.

Before they could figure out what was going on, chaos had already broken out outside the city gate.

"This Yunshan County bailiff is really unreliable. I told him there was a riot, but he still didn't act quickly. What's the use of him?"

Ye Chuyi complained while shooting the crossbow arrow on his wrist.

Although the weapons produced by the system have the function of automatically recovering arrows, there are too many refugees, and it is very difficult to recover them, and the speed cannot keep up with the use.

"Miss, you take the food and go first, we will cover you."

Du Jiayi was waving a hoe that he had snatched from somewhere, shouting loudly.

His target-like behavior quickly attracted the enemy's attention.

Two men, one in front and one behind, caught him off guard and hit him with a stick each.

Du Jiayi fell directly to the ground.

If his father hadn't pulled him quickly, he would have been trampled into a meat patty by the surging crowd.

[Ding——, the mission is 10% complete. Please take timely action to stop the riot and protect the lives and property of more people.]

So annoying!

Fighting is annoying enough, and I am also urged to complete tasks. I really want to pull the system out and give it a beating.

"Wang Chengde, take the horses and the food with you."

"Miss, you should go. We are strong and can help everyone if we stay."

Wang Chengde blocked the incoming stick while giving a silly smile.

"Silly."

Ye Chuyi complained unhappily.

She wanted to leave, but unfortunately there were so many people that she couldn't move at all.

Because they were so numerous, the refugees envied their food but did nothing.

But as long as one person moved, it was like a hole was opened, and everyone started to move.

Either this one is doing something secretly, or that one is doing something secretly.

"Food, all food!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and more people began to crowd in.

"Damn it, I don't know who smashed the grain bags." Wang Yongshou's old voice was quickly drowned out.

"If you can't protect the food, then forget it and take care of the people." Looking at the men who wanted to rush back to grab the food, Ye Chuyi had to shout.

"No one is allowed to move! Anyone who dares to move will be treated as a bandit and killed without mercy."

The sound of explosions far away on the city wall silenced the chaotic crowd for a moment.

On the city wall, a row of people holding bows and arrows stood up at some point.

Boss Liu walked out of the city gate with a dozen of his brothers in fear and trepidation.

"If you move again, I'll chop you all to pieces!"

"Brother, they won't really shoot arrows, will they?"

"Why are you panicking? There are so many refugees outside the city. How many arrows can they have? It must be a scare tactic."

The man holding the machete pushed the refugee who was in the way nonchalantly, and swung the machete fiercely.

He had seen many yamen runners before. They were just a bunch of spineless people who probably didn't even dare to kill anyone. They could only scare these idiots.

The man next to him seemed to be convinced, and seeing that the people on the city wall did not move, he also followed his eldest brother's steps and waved his sticks.

There were many people like them, but more of them were just ordinary people. After being frightened by the formation on the city wall, they stood obediently where they were.
