Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 438: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

Listening to the noise over there, Gu Mancang roughly estimated that there were about 18 or 19 horse bandits. Looking at the villagers walking in front of him today, there were at least 500 or 600 of them. As long as they did not retreat and worked together, it would not be difficult to kill the horse bandits.

But looking at the quickly flashing horses over there, they were like wolves rushing into a flock of sheep, killing with their swords indiscriminately.

Chopping people is like cutting melons.

Such a group of refugees, no matter how large the number of people is, cannot go far.

Gu Mancang looked at the brighter firelight, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing that Gu Mancang had no intention of killing him, the man threatened with a knife bowed and whispered, "Master, spare our lives. I, I have silver. I'll give you the silver. Can you please let us go?"

When he heard the word "silver", Gu Li pricked up his ears reflexively, holding the small dagger, and climbed up the river bank in a few seconds.

The numbness in my legs was cured immediately.

It's not Gu Li's fault. Her aunt had taken care of her since she was a child. Whenever she got money from her father, she could have a full meal and a pleasant smile from her aunt for the whole day.

She had a stress reaction.

The silver must be taken.

Before Gu Mancang could say anything, Gu Li had already stood beside Gu Mancang and extended her hand towards the man whose face she could not see clearly.

"Give me money."

Grain full warehouse: -----

Gu Li smiled up at her father, "Dad, hold the knife steady, don't cut uncle's neck by accident."

Grain full warehouse: -----

The man quickly took out two silver ingots from his lapel and placed them in Gu Li's small hand, "Please, strong man, spare our lives."

Gu Li weighed the silver in disdain, feeling dissatisfied, "Is this little money for buying your life or the fat guy on the ground?"

Grain full warehouse: -----

How did my daughter say the coldest words in the softest voice?

Gu Mancang shook his hand, and the sharp knife cut the man's neck. The man tilted his head as far away from the knife as possible, regretting it very much. He should not have fled here. Who knew that there were horse bandits hiding here.

Even such a young child can rob with such vigor.

The man begged in a crying voice: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I still have money, let me go, and let my son go."

As he spoke, he reached into his collar and this time he pulled out a purse, "All for you, all for you."

The woman kneeling on the ground began to sob, "Master, that is all the money our family has. If you give it all away, how are we going to live in the future?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, you'll be the first one to be chopped off! It just so happens that my father's knife hasn't been emptied of blood yet!"

Grain full warehouse: -----

My eyelids are twitching so much that they feel like cramps.

Gu Li snatched the man's purse, which was quite heavy.

Now satisfied.

She took the money bag and threw the two silver ingots the man had given her at the woman's feet. "Don't make a sound. Hold your children and run for your lives."

Gu Li tugged at Gu Mancang's clothes, and Gu Mancang inexplicably followed his daughter's hint, put away his knife, retracted his feet, and stepped aside.

The woman picked up the child, pushed the man, and ran farther away.

When Gu Limali climbed up to the river bank, He Yunwang also climbed up, but he had to consider his mother and uncle, so he just lay on the bank.

He watched the whole process of Gu Li extorting money.

I am even more confused about this sister who came along halfway.

Gu Li didn't care what He Yunwang thought of her. After making the money, she wanted more.

Although silver is important, food and water are more important when fleeing famine.

"Dad, will the bandits over there kill everyone?"

Gu Mancang was about to ask Gu Li something but he held it back and said without even thinking, "No." Twenty people would have to fight for at least an entire night to kill all five or six hundred people.

The purpose of the horse bandits is only to rob property, and they will not waste time and energy on killing people.

"Will the villagers win?"

Gu Mancang stared at the flames for a long time and said, "It should be." The price to pay will not be small.

"If they get help from Daddy, will they win faster?"

Gu Mancang suddenly turned around and looked at his daughter who was asking the question seriously with a raised face. How did she know that I had such thoughts?

"Xiao Li'er wants Daddy to help those villagers?"

"Yeah." Gu Li counted on her fingers and said, "The place we are going to is very far away. It will be very dangerous for Dad to rely on himself all the time. If we can follow the big team, it will be relatively safer. The villagers will win sooner or later. Dad can help them win earlier if he goes to help command.

Get some of their gratitude.

There is also a doctor in that village. We can ask the village doctor to treat Uncle He's leg, so that Daddy won't have to carry him all the time. Daddy can better protect our family if he preserves his strength."

Gu Mancang was dumbfounded. The reason why he wanted to help was simple: bodyguards were naturally hostile to horse bandits.

"How do you know there is a doctor in the village?" He Yunwang got up from the ground and asked with concern. A village of this size is indeed likely to have a doctor, but they have been following this team for a whole day, and He Yunwang has observed that there is no doctor.

Gu Li didn't want to answer He Yunwang's question, but she saw her own father looking at her curiously. "Daddy may not have noticed just now, but the fat boy you stepped on has one leg without a trouser leg. There is a bandage on his thigh. The way it was tied shows that it was done by an experienced doctor."

Gu Mancang nodded. His daughter had seen many people getting injured and bandaged in the escort agency since she was a child, so he didn't doubt Gu Li's statement at all.

He Yunwang held the axe in his hand and looked at Gu Mancang, "Uncle Mancang, I'll go with you!"

"No!" Tao Chunhua's voice came from the river bank, "Yunwang, you can't go. You are not allowed to go."

He Yunwang didn't look back and waited for Gu Mancang's reply.

Gu Li knew Gu Mancang very well. Just by looking at the serious expression on Gu Mancang's face as he kept looking over there, she guessed what Gu Mancang was thinking.

He just stood there without moving because he had someone he needed to protect.

"Dad, you can go and help me, but you must protect yourself first. I will wait here for Dad to come back. If Dad doesn't come, I won't go anywhere."

Gu Mancang's nose was sore. He understood his daughter's instructions. He patted Gu Li's back with his big hand and promised solemnly as he did every time he went out to escort the convoy: "Don't worry, Xiao Li'er. Dad knows. I will protect myself first, and then do what I can."

Gu Li's body was only eight years old, but she had already gotten used to separation. She didn't say anything more and took a step back. "Okay, I'll wait for Daddy."

Gu Li didn't even look at He Yunwang. She turned around and walked towards the river bank first. She was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

What brushed past Gu Li was Tao Chunhua's suppressed cry: "Yunwang, you stay, you are not allowed to go!"
