Chapter 14 The Scarred Man
"Listen to me, everyone, if the bandits don't give up after taking part of the food, then everyone will fight with them. If you go back, you will die here, or you will die here. If you die, you will bite off a piece of their meat." The village chief's eyes froze. Hong roared, everyone wants to live, but if there is really no way to survive, they will drag a few to be buried with them.

Hearing the words of the village chief, everyone became excited, even Wen Xin was filled with resentment, the world is already so difficult, if the bandits don't give them a way to survive, it will be a big deal.

Seeing everyone's momentum like a rainbow, the village chief felt a stone in his heart. As long as the bandit knows how to settle accounts and has a clear head, he should be able to make the right choice.

At noon, the village head asked everyone to cook and eat as much as possible, because they didn't know what was waiting for them ahead.

Liu Ying didn't feel sorry for the food either, thinking that if bandits would steal it, it would be better for her family to eat more, and cooked five large potatoes for everyone. This meal was the most filling meal Wen Xinchuan had ever eaten.

The sick children of the Wen family also ate a lot, and Wen Le even stuffed them into their stomachs. It was Wen Xin who was afraid that Wen Le would be indigestible, so he stepped forward to stop him.

After eating, everyone was quite refreshed. After the village head discussed with the leaders of several other groups, each household gave out food according to the head of the family. Those who really had no food would borrow it. Anyway, it was unavoidable. There is a lot of food.

There are still some people who really can't borrow food, and they don't have any food themselves. The village chief arranges them to walk in front of the crowd.

Everyone knows that the person who walks in the front is the most dangerous. If the bandits go down the mountain, the first person to be killed must be the person in the front.

The village head discussed with several other groups, and sent young and strong teenagers to push the grain that everyone took out.

"Let's go forward, don't be afraid, as long as we reach the capital, we will have a way to survive." The village head and the leaders of several other groups encouraged everyone in turn.

Wenxin Wenle helped the second uncle push the cart forward. A few days ago, it was Wen Sheng and the secretary who helped push the cart. Now they fell ill, and Wenxin Wenle was the only one at home who could push the cart.

Both Wen Qingfu and Wen Desheng were carrying things on their backs. Although they were not heavy, they were unwilling to step forward to help.Wen Qingfu even disliked Wen Xin's lack of strength and couldn't help him share the burden on his back, and complained very much to Wen Xin along the way.

Wen Qingfu, who seldom does heavy work, suffered a lot during this escape, and often scolded Wenxin Wenle because he had nowhere to vent his anger.

The two sons have a father who protects them and dare not scold them, so the two losers can always scold them.If it wasn't for the fear of breaking Wenxin Wenle and asking him to carry something, he would have stepped forward to do it long ago.

After walking for about half an hour, Wenxin finally saw Heifengling that everyone was frightened by.

There is a canyon in sight, the steep terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as you enter the canyon, you will hand over your life to the people on the top of the mountain. No wonder the government sent troops to suppress the bandits before without success.

Everyone looked at the canyon in front of them and whispered.

"Do you think this bandit will let us go?"

"What if the bandits put stones down on it?"

The village head and several leaders led everyone to stop at the entrance of the canyon, and they were also afraid that the bandits would make a sudden move.The crowd had just stood still when voices came from the canyon over there.

Within 10 minutes, I saw dozens of men with swords in their hands. They were wearing half-worn cotton padded jackets, and their rosy faces showed that they had never been cold or hungry.

Looking at those people holding swords, the crowd fell silent for an instant, and they were careful even to breathe, for fear of annoying the people on the opposite side.

The village head and a few leaders walked forward with their scalps numb. They were still thinking about how to negotiate when they saw the bandits, but when they saw them, they found that they couldn't say a word that they had rehearsed several times in their hearts. Out.

"Are you the leader of this group of people? Can you make decisions for them?" The man who spoke was a tall man, 1.9 meters tall, weighing more than 200 kilograms by visual estimation, with dark skin all over his body, and a hideous knife on his left cheek. Scar, you can tell at a glance that he is a ruthless character.

The village head and several other leaders chattered, and the man with the scar was not impatient. After listening to what the village head and the others said, a handsome bandit behind the man with the scar said.

"Your calculations are too good. We can get all the food if we kill you. Why should we let you live? Don't forget that we are bandits and not good people."

Hearing this, everyone was desperate for a while, and Wen Xin pulled Wen Le to be ready to hide in the space at all times.She and Wen Le have small arms and legs. If the bandits go down the mountain, she will find a hidden place to hide in the space.

Survival is the greatest thing in the world, as for other people, she can only do nothing to help, she is not the Holy Mother White Lotus.

Just when everyone was ready to fight to the death, the man with the scar suddenly turned around and slapped the handsome man hard, and then said to the village chief and the others: "Leave the food, you go."

The scarred man used to be an out-and-out farmer, and his grandfather was a scholar. He fell to this point only because of the difficult times in the world. He hated corrupt officials, not these hard-working people.

The handsome man still wanted to persuade them that these people must have brought a lot of food, and they would definitely not suffer a loss if they did this job, how could they do big things without casualties.

What are the dead brothers? How long will it take for so much food to be released before we can meet again.

The man with the scar sent someone down to take away the food, and the development of the matter made everyone think it was a dream.Not only did the bandits not kill them, they didn't ask for more food, so they just let them go. Could there be some trap ahead?
It wasn't until they crossed Heifeng Ridge that everyone believed that the bandit really kept his word.

Although it was a snowy day, Wenxin's forehead was covered with sweat. When she just passed Heifengling, she had been worried that bandits would suddenly appear to steal food and kill people.

"My God, we really came out of Heifeng Ridge, and we really survived." From time to time, such incredible voices would sound from the crowd.

A large number of people still still don't believe that they have walked through Heifeng Ridge without incident.

Wende cursed in a low voice when Heifengling was born, he was cursing the village chief.

He thinks that the village chief is negligent and shouldn't be asked to hand over so much food to the bandits, and less handing over to the bandits will also allow them to pass Heifengling.

In Wen Desheng's mind, the village head was to be blamed for all the food loss, if it wasn't for the village head, they wouldn't have paid so much food.

After passing Heifengling, everyone felt like they were reborn after a catastrophe, and they hurried on their way regardless of their hungry stomachs.No one knows if those bandits will regret it, and what will happen if they catch up.

Along the way, some people fell ill and didn't want to drag the family back, so they asked to stay on the side of the road and let the family continue on their way.Whenever she sees such a scene, Wen Xin will think of those selfish people in modern times.

Those who stay by the side of the road are sure to die, but in their hearts they want their loved ones to go further.
