Chapter 949: Opportunity to Get Rich Overnight
At the same time, the distance between Sun Laohai and Sun Erhe and the refugees was only a dozen meters.
The refugees never expected that even after they had said all that, these two would still dare to rush forward recklessly.
However, seeing that only two people were rushing towards them, they weren't too scared.
The leader of the refugees called out to the four men in front, ordering them to step forward and block the way.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing was already standing on the roof of the carriage at the back of the crowd, raising her bow and aiming at the refugees in front of her.
The first arrow was aimed at the few refugees in front of Sun Laohai.
The bowstring was drawn taut, and the arrow flew out.
An arrow through the throat!
Sun Laohai heard an arrow whistle and saw the refugee at the front, who was holding a stick, fall backward.
He was secretly delighted; Brother Lu was helping them!
Great, they are saved!
Meanwhile, on the shaft of another carriage, Qin Lang was standing.
He took an arrow, nocked it, and aimed at another refugee in front of Sun Laohai.
However, when the arrow was shot, it deviated slightly due to the wind.
It missed the man's chest, but hit his arm instead.
The sharp arrow pierced the skin and penetrated deep into the flesh.
Overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, the refugee dropped his machete and collapsed, clutching his arm.
Seeing this, Sun Dahai quickly stepped forward and delivered a final blow to the man's neck.
At the same time, Lu Qingqing's second arrow arrived.
Still, every arrow hits its mark!
With three of his men falling to the ground in succession, the leader of the refugees became somewhat anxious.
How could they have hit the target in such darkness tonight!
At that moment, he finally discovered the problem.
The four refugees who were sent to stop them stood not far from the fire.
The light was shining right on them!
Thinking of this, he quickly called to the remaining people to move away from the fire.
Meanwhile, the three people sent to retrieve the items on the other side had successfully obtained them.
The fastest one has already led two horses and is running out.
Meanwhile, the refugees nearby were pushing Sun Laohai's wheelbarrow with all their might, trying to get it out of the village.
The cart was loaded with a lot of things, and the refugees, lacking strength, found it very difficult to move.
The leader of the refugees, seeing the campfire not far behind him, hurriedly shouted:
"Old Yu, push the cart quickly! There's a campfire right behind you, and the archer can see you!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Yu's legs went weak with fright, and he instinctively turned around to look.
Just as I turned my head, before my vision could even focus, I heard the sound of an arrow whistling.
Immediately afterwards, an arrow pierced the night sky and struck his heart.
The man collapsed without even letting out a scream.
The leader of the refugees, who had been running in this direction, stopped abruptly upon seeing this scene and turned to run into the darkness beside him.
Behind him, another refugee followed closely.
At this point, neither of them dared to pretend to cough anymore.
He ran a distance in the dark, making sure the firelight couldn't reach him, before turning back to check the situation.
A group of people stood around the campfire with weapons in their hands, and no one chased after them for the time being.
They didn't even get close to the corpses at the edge.
Seeing this, he felt a little relieved.
These people truly believed they had contracted the plague.
Looking at the carriages not far away, and the horses tied beside them, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
If they could delay it a little longer, all of these things might end up being his.
Unfortunately, fate didn't give him the chance!
This is your only chance to get rich overnight!
Now, he only has three men left, and there won't be another chance!
At that moment, he heard a noise nearby and hurriedly turned around.
Just as he raised the machete in his hand, a familiar voice rang out.
"Boss, it's me!"
As the speaker approached, the leader of the refugees noticed that he was carrying two large bundles on his back.
"Boss, I stole two bundles."
The people over there are awake; we can't fight anymore. Let's go!"
The leader of the displaced people was unwilling to give up.
"Go throw the bundle aside, and we'll go over there again."
Not many. Let's each take two more bundles and then we'll leave!
Otherwise, what we got wouldn't be enough for us to survive!
The other two hesitated for a moment after hearing what he said, and then agreed.
Camp direction.
After the group realized that the refugees had disappeared, they stood there for a while longer and observed them.
When she realized that no one was coming back, she decided to pack up her things.
At this moment, Sun Laohai was already pushing his own car towards the edge of the camp.
The refugee just died next to the car, and he wouldn't let Sun Erhe get close.
Instead, he went forward himself and pushed the car away.
Just then, seeing his eldest son and his wife coming to greet them, he quickly called them to stop.
"Don't come any closer, those refugees just pushed our car."
Who knows, they might already be infected.
I'll be alone with myself for the next two days, so please don't come near me.
As he spoke, Sun Laohai pushed his cart to the farthest corner of the camp.
Meanwhile, seeing that there was no further movement, Steward Zhou also sent someone over.
Bai Song, Lu Qingqing, and the others heard someone calling them and rushed over.
The guard, who had previously received silver from Bai Song, thought it was a good thing and explained in a low voice:
"Manager Zhou heard that someone was launching a sneak attack on your side."
Who was the person who launched the attack? Was he infected with a disease?
If there's a problem, you can't enter the city!
You'd better go over there and explain this properly to Manager Zhou.
"It's hard to say, we might not be able to get into the city!"
Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Bai Song thanked the guards and then instructed Yan Xu to direct the men to clean up the camp.
After thinking for a moment, he called out to Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang and headed towards the camp where Steward Zhou was.
After they passed by, Steward Zhou spoke to the three of them from a distance of several meters.
After briefly inquiring about the situation, I suggested that they stay outside for another day.
Only those confirmed to be free of infection are allowed to enter the city.
Upon hearing that he would have to stay an extra day, Bai Song was afraid that something might go wrong, so he quickly explained.
After much explanation, and with another hundred taels of silver, Steward Zhou was finally persuaded to calm down.
As they were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from behind the camp.
The two of them, without paying attention to anything else, told Steward Zhou and hurriedly ran back.
When they returned, they saw people gathered on the west side of the camp.
When they ran over, they found that Yan Xu was leading more than a dozen soldiers, surrounding three refugees, and the two sides were in a standoff.
The three refugees each carried a large bundle on their backs, held a weapon in one hand, and waved a tattered piece of clothing in the other.
"Come on, if you dare come near us, we'll all die together!"
Do you recognize these clothes? They were stripped from the bodies of those dead people infected with the disease!
Seeing this, Bai Song was so angry he almost fainted.
"Yan Lao Er, what have you done!"
Those three guys have the plague, why are you making the brothers surround them?
Yan Xu took a few steps back, approached Bai Song, and whispered:
"Brother, I suspect they're faking it."
Since we surrounded them, none of the three have coughed once.
Bai Song was so angry that his head was buzzing. He shoved him aside and said to the crowd:
"Alright, stop crowding around, let them go!"
Upon hearing this, the soldier whose belongings had been taken became somewhat anxious.
"Boss, all our belongings are in their hands, we can't let them go!"
