Chapter 138 Are you really going to watch someone die without helping?
Song Yao and his companions stayed in the camp for two more days, and only set off for Liangzhou when the road was almost dry.
Halfway through the journey, Song Yao and his friends encountered a group of refugees.
It was also strange that these refugees were all young people and old people, and Song Yao didn't see a single child.
Logically speaking, if people were fleeing famine, they would definitely not abandon their children, so this made Song Yao a little confused.
However, Song Yao and her friends had encountered a group of refugees before, and these refugees were cannibals, so she didn't want to cause trouble for herself and ignored them.
They continued to move forward. Song Zizhou and Song Qing rode their horses in front of the carriage. Just when they met the refugees, the refugees suddenly came in front of Song Zizhou and them, and then all knelt on the ground!
This group of refugees was estimated to have more than thirty people, and now, all of them were kneeling before Song Zizhou and his men.
Song Zizhou reined in his horse and stopped. He frowned and looked at the refugees kneeling on the ground in front of him. "What do you mean by this?"
The middle-aged man kneeling in the front said, "My fellow knights, we haven't eaten for several days. Could you please give us some food? The elderly in our team are really starving. If this continues, they will surely be in great danger. Kind people, please give us some food!"
Another man, kneeling beside this man, said, "My fellow heroes, it's getting cold now. We are really hungry and cold. Without your help, we will definitely not survive this winter! Please save us. We will repay your kindness in our next life!"
Song Zizhou said nothing. He rode to the carriage where Song Yao was riding and said, "Ayao, those refugees asked us for food, and they all knelt in front of us."
After a while, Song Yao lifted the car curtain and appeared in front of Song Zizhou.
Song Yao said, "Brother, we don't have much food left. If we give it to them, we will have nothing to eat."
"So you want to reject them?" Song Zizhou asked.
They did not buy any supplies in Jiankang City, and lived outside the city for a few days. It rained a few days ago, so they also stayed there for a few days. To be honest, they now only have enough food to last for a month.
On the way to Liangzhou, we don’t know what we will encounter, so we can’t give these foods to others.
Song Yao nodded and said helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about it. If we give it to them, we won't have enough to eat. Go and ask them to leave, let's go."
"Okay!" Song Zizhou rode up to them and said bluntly, "Everyone, I'm sorry, we're running out of food. We really can't help you. You should find someone else. Sorry, please make way."
When those people heard this, their expressions changed immediately.
Then, everyone stood up.
The man who had spoken earlier looked at Song Zizhou and said in a colder voice, "Are you really going to watch someone die without helping?"
Song Zizhou immediately noticed his changing expression and whispered, "Song Qing, go call Song Jingmo and the others, hurry up!"
Song Qing probably also realized something was wrong, so he rode away immediately without asking any questions.
Song Zizhou looked at the man with a cold expression, "I told you, we don't have enough food for ourselves, so I can't give it to you. I'm really sorry."
Another man in gray patched clothes said, "If that's the case, don't blame us for being rude!"
They had been hungry for a very long time, and if they didn't eat, they would starve to death.
People like them are extremely vicious. As long as their wishes are not met, they will do whatever it takes to steal what they want!
Song Zizhou dismounted and drew his sword.
He pointed his sword at the group of people and said, "Since you're so afraid of death, you shouldn't have come to rob us. I'll give you one chance. Either you leave on your own, or we'll kill you! We've encountered many people like you before, but we killed them all. If you try to use force, you'll end up like them."
These people were extremely vicious and were not afraid of Song Zizhou's threats, so all of them, whether old or young, rushed forward!
As soon as Song Zizhou took action, all of Song Qing and his companions came over.
Although these people were extremely vicious, they were unarmed and could only resort to brute force, so they were naturally no match for Song Zizhou and his men.
In the end, all of them were beaten to the ground by Song Zizhou and his men.
Song Zizhou snorted, "How dare you steal our things? You are so bold!"
Song Qing scoffed, "That's it?"
Song Jingmo sneered, "I thought you guys were so powerful, but you're just like this!"
Song Jing said: "Stop talking nonsense with them, let's go!"
"Yeah!" Song Zizhou responded. After Song Jingmo and the others got on the carriage, the convoy continued to move forward.
The refugees who were knocked to the ground were obviously unwilling to accept the defeat. They looked at Song Yao and his companions' carriage with resentment as they drove away.
They only withdrew their gaze when the carriage disappeared from their sight.
One of the men said, "Let's go find Boss Tu. As long as we tell him the good news, he will definitely give us food!"
The other man said, "Okay! Let's go now."
……
Song Yao and his friends walked for a whole day and arrived at a village in the evening.
I saw an old woman at the entrance of the village. After asking her, I found out that there were people living in the village, but there were not many people.
Song Yao asked again, "Grandma, can we stay here for one night? Don't worry, I won't let you stay here for nothing. I'll give you some food when the time comes. How about that?"
The old woman smiled kindly. "Several families in the village have left, and the house is empty anyway. If you want to stay, I'll take you there. As for my house, it's dilapidated and leaky, so it's really inconvenient to take you in. I'm really sorry."
Song Yao said, "Grandma, you're too polite."
"Then I'll take you there." The old woman smiled and asked others to drive the carriage and mule cart to the village.
Then, led by the old woman, they went to the doorsteps of several houses at the east end of the village.
The old lady explained that several families here had left and no one lived there. It was just that no one had lived here for a long time and it was a bit dirty, so she asked them to clean it up themselves.
Song Yao thanked the old lady, and the old lady said, "I live at the entrance of the village. If you need anything, you can come to me."
"Okay, grandma, thank you." Song Yao said politely.
"It's okay." The old lady waved her hand and left.
