Chapter 280 Picking up money
But after a brief thought, in this chaotic world, officials don't even treat the common people as human beings, and the soldiers are no better. "I was wondering why these people look familiar. The color of their clothes is the same as those of the soldiers at the city gate, all black. They are so heartless!"
Zhou Guo didn't say anything. From ancient times to the present, whoever holds the knife has the right to speak. Ordinary people like them who are unarmed are lambs to be slaughtered wherever they go.
He counted the horses and people and said, "Luckily, none of them escaped, otherwise we would have a hard time in the future."
Zhou Da Cang looked at the people on the ground, rolled up his sleeves and said, "We have to dig a pit and bury these people quickly. We don't know if there will be anyone else coming. If they were to see us, the whole place would be in turmoil and many people would lose their lives."
Zhou Guo pointed at his arm and said, "Uncle, take it easy."
Zhou Dacang didn't take it seriously and shook his arms. "It's okay. It's just a little skin break. It doesn't seem to hurt after applying the medicine. Don't worry about it."
Zhou Guo went into the woods with a big knife, chose a hidden piece of land with loose soil and started digging, while Zhou Dacang dragged them one by one to that side.
As they were dragging, a money bag suddenly fell from someone's body. He was stunned for a moment, then searched these people thoroughly and found a pile of small change, silver bills, small copper coins, and a few gold hairpins.
Just as he put these things into his arms, a lot of people appeared out of nowhere, holding stones and sticks and started whipping the corpse. They picked up the big knives on the ground and started chopping at it, crying and shouting as they chopped.
Zhou Dacang was startled and quickly dropped the person in his hand and moved away.
He stared at the person on the ground, whose face was unrecognizable in a short while, with some parts smashed to pieces. He couldn't help but turn his head.
When Zhou Guo came out of the woods, he saw a group of people venting their anger on the corpse on the ground. They looked like crazy and frowned.
After waiting for a long time, these people didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. She looked back at the way they came, wondering if there was anyone behind them. If someone came immediately, none of them would survive, and everyone on this road would be in trouble.
He strode forward with a knife in hand and picked out a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old. The young man shouted and screamed, and hit the person on the ground with a stone. His eyes turned red and his face was covered with blood.
How could this situation ever be similar?
She closed her eyes and slapped him. The boy spun around and fell to the ground. He raised his head and looked at her in confusion. It was visibly that his face was turning red and swollen.
Everyone around looked up and saw her holding a big knife upside down, her face and body covered in blood. Her eyes were cold and she looked at them coldly. She was standing in front of them like a killing god, and they couldn't help but stop.
They had just seen from behind how the kid killed these people one by one. His movements were so skillful and quick that no one dared to make a sound.
Zhou Guo quickly glanced at everyone's face and said coldly: "Smash it, keep smashing it, smash it again, and when these people's accomplices come, you will have to go down and accompany them. No one can escape!"
Zhou Dacang stiffened his neck and pointed at the place where the bodies were buried, saying, "Hurry, hurry, help drag these... things over and bury them. Clean up the bloodstains... and other things. Once you're done, run away. Forget about what happened today from now on. Don't mention it to anyone, or else disaster will befall you. Hurry."
He doesn't want to get involved.
When the refugees heard this, they began to pack up their things doubtfully and moved slowly over there.
Zhou Guo frowned tightly and kicked the boy in the butt. The boy fell flat on his face and raised his head to glare at her fiercely.
Zhou Guo said, "What are you looking at? If you keep dawdling, you'll not only get kicked in the ass, but it's also unclear whether your head is still on your neck."
After saying that, he looked at the others and shouted, "Hurry up, come on, some people, go over there and help dig the pit."
After saying that, he walked over there, and Zhou Dacang followed closely behind him. He also went to dig a hole.
Everyone woke up immediately after her yell, and started moving immediately. Some were digging holes, some were carrying people. The blood and other things scattered on the road were buried in holes dug on the spot, and then covered with thick fallen leaves.
In about an hour, the scene was cleaned up.
Zhou Guo looked at the land. An hour ago, there had been a bloody battle here, but now it seemed as if nothing had happened.
The refugees took their family members and friends off the backs of the remaining horses and buried them on the spot.
After that, he knelt down in front of Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang, "Today, we are all grateful to you two, otherwise we would have lost our lives and been beheaded, and we would not have had a complete corpse until we died."
"Thank you very much, benefactor. Thank you very much, benefactor. May I ask your name?"
Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang quickly helped them up. "Get up, folks. You must forget what happened today once you leave this area. No matter who you meet in the future, you must not tell anyone about this. No matter who asks you, you must say that you know nothing and have never seen it. We think this matter is not simple, and these people are not simple either. The power behind them is powerful. If their people get wind of this, we will all be in danger."
The crowd shed tears in silence and nodded.
After a while, a trembling voice in the crowd said, "I know, I know who these people are. They are all soldiers, and they are from the imperial court."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
"What? These people are soldiers? They are from the imperial court? Then why do they want to kill us?"
"Are you stupid? Didn't you hear what they said? When they were chasing us, they said we were bandits. They thought we were bandits. How could we be bandits? You must be blind. We are dressed in rags. How can we look like bandits?"
"You are stupid. Do you think they really made a mistake? They did it on purpose. They mistook us for bandits. These bastards are incapable of suppressing bandits, but they chose us as their target. Oh, God, you are blind. How could you let such a person become a soldier or an officer?"
The crowd cursed.
Zhou Dacang said, "Fellow villagers, you can't stay here any longer. If you go, try to take the small roads. You can't take the main roads anymore."
Then he gave them all the silver and copper coins he had searched from those people, "Take this money and share it among you. Although it's not much, every family can get something. Take this money and leave. We are leaving too."
Everyone took the money in disbelief and kowtowed to Zhou Dacang and Zhou Guo again, "Thank you for your kindness, benefactors. I wish you two a long life and great wealth."
The two said, "Everyone, get up, everyone. We are doing this for ourselves. There is no great favor involved. Everyone, take the money and leave. Remember to take the small roads. If you see these people from a distance in the future, take a detour."
