Blink.
Another day passed.
Lu Fan thought that by closing the gate of the wall, he would force these refugees to leave, but he never expected that the next day, the refugees were still gathered there, as if they had no intention of leaving.
Faced with this situation, Lu Fan expressed helplessness and continued to close the door.
Outside the wall.
Four or five hundred refugees suffered from cold and hunger in the wind and snow.
Inside the wall.
The laborers taken in by Lu Fan had food and drink.
The sharp contrast between the two made some refugees lying on the wall outside watching with jealousy.
But what else can we do?
…
Dozens of kilometers away from the City God Temple, at this moment, a group of bandits with swords, spears, knives and axes in their hands were seen marching towards the City God Temple with great momentum.
At a glance, there are at least three or four hundred people in this group.
The leader was a sturdy guy with a body like an iron tower.
Looking closely, this is none other than the boss Dou who has taken over Qingyang Town!
In front of this group of bandits, there was a man covered in blood, with his arms tied with ropes.
He was dragged forward by the bandits and spitting blood from his mouth.
"Boss Dou, Qingyang Town has been completely robbed by us. Where are we going now?"
A fierce gangster asked the boss Dou, who was as strong as an iron tower.
This Dou Meng was not a bandit before, but a guard of a local tycoon in Qingyang Town.
However, one night, Dou Meng got drunk and raped the local tycoon's concubine.
The local tycoon was furious and wanted to ask the government to arrest Dou Meng.
But unexpectedly, that night, Dou Meng took a knife and killed all the members of the local rich man's family... and thus became a bandit.
When asked about this, Dou Meng said, "Where else can we go? Of course, we have to rob whoever has money and food!"
"Hehe, Boss Dou is still wise!"
Finished.
The gangster suddenly kicked the guy who was covered in blood and had his hands tied with ropes.
"Tell me! Where did those bastards who escaped from Qingyang Town go? If you don't tell me, I'll break both of your legs and leave you trapped in this icy world, trapped between life and death!"
Facing the bandits' threats, the refugee, covered in blood, trembled and said, "I'm telling you...it seems they went to a place called the City God Temple!"
"City God Temple? What the hell is that place?" asked the bandit.
"I don't know... I just heard them say that there's a wealthy and powerful tycoon over at the City God Temple who can not only provide us with food and drink, but also take us in..."
The gangster sneered when he heard this.
"In this day and age, there are still people who will take in worthless creatures like you. Are you dreaming?"
Just as he finished speaking, another pockmarked gangster came out and said, "I also think I heard there's a City God Temple nearby. And, it seems they were hiring laborers to build a mansion a while ago."
"real?"
"It's true! I heard it from people when I was fleeing famine. They said the rich man was very young, but extremely rich!"
When the gangster heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.
Then he quickly turned to Boss Dou and said, "Boss Dou, if that kid from the City God Temple really has money and food, should we go and rob him?"
"Of course I'll grab it!"
"Haha! Alright! Brothers, our Boss has spoken. Everyone, get going and rob the City God Temple."
As the bandits shouted like this, more than 300 bandits suddenly started howling.
…
City God Temple, outside the mountain wall.
Those poor refugees who escaped from Qingyang Town were still gathered there, hoping that Lu Fan could take them in.
I don't know how long it took.
Sudden.
A panicked voice came from behind.
"Oh no, oh no! The bandits are coming towards us!"
Upon hearing that the bandits were coming, the refugees who were huddled outside the City God Temple all stood up in panic.
"Aren't the bandits in Qingyang Town? Why are they here?"
A middle-aged man rushed over and asked.
"I don't know! I just saw a huge group of bandits coming over soon."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the hundreds of poor refugees suddenly turned pale.
Next,
They quickly ran to Lu Fan's mountain wall, knocking on the gate and begging Lu Fan to take them in.
have no choice.
At this time, Lu Fan was in the cave of the City God Temple. He had no idea about their call for help.
Just at this moment, a group of fierce bandits appeared at the foot of the City God Temple.
Boss Dou and others are here.
"Boss, look, that's the City God Temple up there!"
After the bandits reached the foot of the mountain, someone immediately pointed to the towering wall surrounding the mountain on the mountainside.
Looking at the towering walls and the imposing mansion within, Dou Meng's eyes lit up and he said, "Damn! I never thought there'd be a local tycoon in this desolate wilderness! Guys, get your stuff ready!"
Following a shout from Dou Meng, these fierce bandits immediately drew their weapons one by one.
"Let's go up the mountain!"
Immediately afterwards, more than 300 bandits rushed towards the mountain.
Among the refugees.
Just as these bandits came up with knives in hand, an ugly woman looked down with a worried look on her face.
Looking closely, she was the one who had taken the disguise pill: Li Qinghuang.
Looking at the black mass of bandits coming up, she subconsciously shrank back.
soon.
Boss Dou came up with more than 300 bandits.
When these bandits saw so many refugees gathered at the mountain wall, their eyes lit up instantly.
"Damn it! Aren't these the bastards who escaped from Qingyang Town? Why are they all running here?"
"Haha! Now let's see where they run!"
These hundreds of poor refugees never expected that they would encounter these brutal bandits again after escaping death from Qingyang Town!
Frightened and panicked, they quickly ran to the gate of Lu Fan's mountain wall, desperately asking for help!
inside!
Wang Dayong and other laborers who were guarding the gate heard the cries for help from so many refugees, and they all looked at Wang Dayong.
"Captain Wang, look, there are so many knife-wielding bandits at the foot of the mountain! What should we do? Should we notify the young master immediately?"
A member of the Peon Guard asked.
When Wang Dayong looked up and saw so many fierce bandits appearing at the foot of the mountain, he thought for two seconds and said, "You stay here! I'll go inform the young master immediately!"
After speaking quickly, Wang Dayong immediately went to report to Lu Fan.
