Qiao Honglian was stunned for a moment, then turned her gaze to the "poor people" she had been protecting.

Sure enough, she was dressed better than her, fed better than her, and had a cart to push her child. She was not as miserable as she was, having to carry a heavy brother on her back.

What has she done?

Obviously her life is a hundred times worse than others, why is she willing to help others, but no one takes pity on her?
Qiao Honglian suddenly felt ashamed, angry, and aggrieved. She just felt stupid and pitiful. Her face was burning, and her heart was bleeding. She stared at the two carts, wishing she could take them directly to her home.

The way the villagers looked at these refugees also changed, and everyone suddenly no longer sympathized with these people.

I don’t know how many refugees these people have robbed and stolen, and I don’t know if anyone has died under their hands!

How could they sympathize with such a villain?
"These beasts deserve to die! Village chief, don't hesitate, drag them into the woods and beat them to death to feed the wolves!"

The village chief no longer hesitated, and the old village chief ordered: "Erhe, Zhuzhu, and Daniu, you guys drag these four people into the forest, break their arms and legs as punishment, and then let them fend for themselves. Destroy yourself!"

The village chief's words were obviously meant to let these people live.

Although everyone was not very satisfied, thinking about it, if their hands and legs were broken on the way to escape, these gangsters would not be able to do any evil, and it would also increase the burden on their families.

Thinking about it this way, the villagers felt relieved.

So the three brothers Qiao Erhe and several young men in the village dragged the four people into the woods like dead dogs.

There was a sound of sticks clashing in the woods and a shrill howl that pierced the sky, causing the crows and birds in the forest to fly up in fright.

When the family members of the four refugees saw that begging for mercy was useless, they could only glare at everyone and follow them dejectedly into the woods.

Not long after, Qiao Erhe and the others came back, and the sound of wailing and the crying of women came from the woods.

Although the evildoers were punished, the villagers felt uncomfortable.

The evil of human nature is magnified in the most difficult environment. They don't know if their families will reach this point if they don't have food or water.

Although no one sympathizes with those evil people, there is still some sympathy.

The women quickly dragged out the four refugees who fainted from the pain and carried them onto the cart.

Pulling the cart, he left in despair under the complicated eyes of the villagers.

Seeing that the group just left, Qiao Honglian said anxiously: "Village chief, are you just going to let them go? Their things were stolen and robbed. We should take all those things and distribute them to everyone." Son."

Qiao Ran glanced at Qiao Honglian, who was staring at the two carts with red eyes, and sneered:
"Qiao Honglian, didn't you just say that they were pitiful? So quickly you stopped pitying them and wanted to rob other people's property?"

"But I didn't know they were bad people just now! If I had known, I wouldn't have spoken for them. Oh, village chief, you see those people are going far away, let's go up and grab their things! Anyway, they It was also stolen from others."

The old village chief's face turned dark. He glanced at the anxious Qiao Honglian with disappointment and shook his head:

"When they steal and rob others, that's because they are bad by nature. If you rob them too, aren't you just as bad as them? We are not the government, so we can't control that much. Those people have already received the punishment they deserve. , I can’t do evil anymore, just leave the food to them, just take pity on the old people and children!”

"But..." Before Qiao Honglian could speak any more, the old village chief no longer wanted to pay attention to this heartless girl Lian, and waved his hand to stop her from continuing.

It was still midnight, and some of the villagers who were woken up were still yawning, while others were no longer sleepy.

But we still had to travel the next day, so the old village chief made arrangements: "Leave a few men to watch the night, and everyone else should go back to sleep!"

Qiao Erhe and the three brothers all clamored to stay vigil, and some men such as Qian Daniu and Zhao Zhuzhu also took the initiative to ask for vigil.

The old village chief said: "Erhe, you three brothers can just stay vigil overnight. We have to travel tomorrow, so we can't all rest!"

So after discussion, Qiao Sanhu, Qian Daniu and Zhao Zhuzhu decided to stay up for the rest of the night and keep vigil for everyone.

Everyone dispersed and went back to their own campsites to sleep.

Qiao Ran stopped the old village chief.

"Ran Yatou, why don't you go to bed? You have to go on the road tomorrow!"

The old village chief was very kind to Ran Yatou, who was now smart and capable, and was favored by the old god.

Qiao Ran said: "Grandpa, village chief, there are more and more refugees on this road. Tonight's example is a lesson. We must send someone to guard us when we are on the road and sleeping in the future. We can't be so defenseless anymore."

"So Ran Yatou, do you have any good ideas?"

Qiao Ran thought for a while and said: "Starting from tomorrow, the people in our village must unite as one. When rushing during the day, let the old, weak, women and children walk in the middle, and the stronger men will be responsible for protecting the two ends."

"During lunch and evening rest, let the men form a circle around the outside and protect the women, the elderly, and children inside."

"In addition, leave a few people to take turns keeping vigil every night. Some will stay up until midnight, and some will stay at midnight. It's best to work in pairs, so that you can chat and prevent dozing off. Keep a copper basin on hand in case anything happens. We can also notify everyone in time of the situation.”

When the old village chief heard this, he felt that Qiao Ran's method was excellent. He twitched his beard and nodded: "Okay! Okay! This is a good idea. When everyone gets up tomorrow, I will discuss it with the village chiefs of the other three villages to see if we can do it." Should we do this separately for each village, or should we do it together as a group of four villages?"

Qiao Ran said: "If the four villages are combined, it may not be easy to distribute. And, to be honest, I can't trust the people in other villages. If someone has selfish motives or is sneaky, it will be more dangerous for us who are unprepared."

Qiao Ran felt that the people in Qingshui Village were the most trustworthy. People in other villages were not as united as the people in Qingshui Village.

When the old village chief heard this, he nodded and said: "Okay, then I will tell them that our village should do this. It is their own business whether they follow suit or not."

The old village chief said lovingly to Qiao Ran: "Girl Ran, don't think so much, go back and have a rest quickly, so that you can go on the journey tomorrow."

He was also making plans for tomorrow in his mind and went back to sleep.

When setting off the next day, the old village chief told the other three village chiefs about the plan prepared by their village. The three village chiefs also felt that it made sense, so they decided to arrange it this way.
