Chapter 206: Blow the Whistle

"We have brought so many things, and now we have brought a carriage. I'm afraid we can't stay too long."

Mrs. Ji looked at these things in front of her with worry in her expression.

There are so many refugees, and if they can't leave quickly after taking these good things, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave.

Ji Liangqing was also very troubled by this matter. After all, if the silver and rice could be hidden, the carriage was really too big.

"I'll go find Big Brother and the others to discuss it."

Ji Liangqing pondered for a moment, then he had an idea in his head and said to Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji nodded.

Ji Liangqing's performance showed that he already had an idea in his head. Mrs. Ji felt very relieved about this exceptionally smart eldest son.

Ji Liangqing turned around and headed in the direction of Brother Ji and the others.

"We can't stay here any longer now."

Ji Liangqing looked at the friends in front of him and said in a deep voice.

Li Jiang understood why he was doing this. He looked at the carriage and said to Ji Liangqing:

"Move some things onto the carriage, and then we'll rush out."

They had horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, and they were faster than those people. If they had passed faster, those people would not have been able to catch them.

On the other hand, if they didn't take advantage of this rare opportunity to run out, the situation would be very bad if they were surrounded by the group of refugees before they reacted.

Ji Liangqing thought it made sense, and immediately went to tell Mrs. Ji this:

"Mom, the only way we can do now is to pack up our things and rush over."

"Okay." Mrs. Ji agreed and immediately asked her daughters-in-law to move some things from the ox cart to the carriage.

Oxen are not as fast as horses. If there are too many things, they will run even slower.

Ye Qiuyun and Wang Xueyan quickly started packing their things.

Since Su Xiu'er was pregnant, the two of them rushed to move things.

Dr. Liao was very cramped in the bullock cart. Now that there are better conditions, Mrs. Ji asked Dr. Liao to sit in the carriage.

Doctor Liao originally didn't want to go there, after all, it was more comfortable to sit in a carriage, but seeing Mrs. Ji's insistence, he decided to obey her orders respectfully.

But deep down in his heart, he remembered Mrs. Ji's love even more. The Ji family not only saved him, but also respected him so much. Suddenly, he had a higher impression of the Ji family in his heart.

Thanks to the hard work of the guys, most of the things on the ox cart were quickly moved onto the carriage.

When Wang Goudan saw that everyone had packed their things, he took the initiative and said:

"Captain, we can't rush over there. Who knows what's going on in front of us? Why don't I go to the front and have a look first? I'll whistle when it's safe."

When they came back just now, the group of officers and soldiers were beaten by the refugees until they were unable to fight back. The beating may have ended long ago. I wonder if they were ambushing them.

The more people who go there at this time, the easier it is to get exposed, so it is best to go alone to find out the information.

Wang Goudan had gone to inquire about information on his own before when he was in the mountains, and he escaped unscathed. He had rich experience.

Moreover, Ji Liangqing is the core of the entire team. If he goes to inquire about information, he is afraid that there will be no one to direct him.

Wang Goudan's idea is very appropriate, and it is completely based on the overall situation.

When Ji Liangqing saw Wang Goudan like this, he was very moved and patted Wang Goudan on the shoulder:

"You must be careful in everything."

"Captain, I know, just don't worry!"

Wang Goudan smiled and patted his chest: "I have been able to get away from robbers before, let alone these refugees, just wait for my whistle!"

After saying that, Wang Goudan turned around and headed towards the refugees.

Facts proved that God was still favoring them. When Wang Goudan arrived, he was surprised to find that the refugees were actually fighting with the officers and soldiers to vent their anger.

Many refugees seemed to have injuries on their faces.

Judging from this situation, it may be that the officers and soldiers resisted for a while, and then the refugees worked together to win, which is why it took so long and it didn't end.

Wang Goudan looked at most of the road blocked by the beating crowd and at the piles of grain on the cart, thoughtfully.

Although these refugees have not noticed that the carriage is gone, they are now blocking most of the road. Even if they come here at this time, they will be blocked and unable to walk.

How should we make way?

Wang Goudan frowned and thought, looking at the restless crowd and carts in front of him, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

The reason why this group of refugees quarreled with people other than officials was because many of them were willing to exchange their daughters for rice, but they were not willing to exchange their sons for rice.

There were too many female babies, so the officers and soldiers wanted male babies, thinking they could get more rice in exchange for them. However, they didn't expect to anger the refugees, who immediately started revolting against them.

This rice is very important in the hearts of the refugees. You can imagine how excited everyone would be when it comes to dividing the rice.

Although there are nearly three cartloads of rice, there are so many people. If you don’t hurry up and grab it, you may not be able to grab it.

Wang Goudan carefully observed the position of the cart and found that even if the position of the cart was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, the space left around it was still enough for oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages to pass.

There are many wealthy businessmen coming and going from Jiangnan, and the road leading to Jiangnan is wider than ordinary roads.

Thinking of this, Wang Goudan smiled and slowly walked to the outside of the crowd again.

Many men with proud faces were full of resentment and cruelty. They were viciously beating the officers and soldiers who had shown off their power in these days. They seemed to be venting their anger.

"Someone is stealing rice from the pallet truck! Someone wants to steal rice!"

Wang Goudan screamed in surprise.

What?

What son of a bitch is stealing rice!

When they heard that someone was stealing rice at this time, everyone's eyes turned red and they quickly turned around and ran in the direction of the cart.

The person who beat the most vicious people inside now became the last person to come to the cart. Everyone lost their minds and didn't even notice whether anyone was stealing rice from the cart.

When they heard the news, they couldn't sit still and wanted to go crazy.

We've had enough fighting for a long time. This rice is a rare and fine grain!

For a moment, no one was thinking about anything, and they were frantically grabbing the carts.

The looting was so fierce that even if someone hugged her tightly, they would be snatched away by a stronger person.

In the fierce struggle, the bag was torn and the rice fell directly to the ground.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of white rice falling to the ground, and their heartache slowly appeared inside.

Then everyone squatted down and picked up the fallen rice grains on the ground with their hands.

In short, everyone here is making a mess and is crazy. All they can think about is the rice on the cart and the rice that has been snatched away by others. They have no energy to care about other things or pay attention to other things.

Wang Goudan whistled at this time.
