Chapter 6 Troubled Times

"Misunderstanding? Do we have a misunderstanding?" Lu Wei looked at the two men with a fake smile.

His eyes swept back and forth on their necks, and the two men felt a chill on their necks and scalps.

"Yes, there must be."

"Yes, it was what happened last night. We were both deceived by Er Laizi and deceived by him, so we had a misunderstanding and were disrespectful to our brothers.

Now that the bastard is dead, he deserves it.

Fortunately, he didn't cause any harm to you, brother, otherwise we would feel bad.

However, it is also our fault to disturb your rest in the middle of the night.

So, we came here early in the morning just to apologize to you.

If you show a little bit of your heart, we will let this matter go, what do you think?"

After Ma San finished speaking, he took the bag of half a pound of millet from Chen Qi and pointed it in the direction of Lu Wei, revealing the golden millet inside.

After listening to Ma San's words, Lu Wei just thought his words were fart, and not a single word of his words was true.

However, when Lu Wei saw the millet they brought, his eyes lit up involuntarily.

The north lacks water, and the staple food is generally wheat or millet, that is, millet.

This thing has an extraordinary status in ancient times, and the millet in the Jiangshan Sheji is also it.

Although its taste is much worse than white flour and rice, it is a life-saving thing in this famine era. Taste? Is it still important?

I was just worrying about where to get some food today, and this is really a pillow for someone to send when I am sleepy.

If I can get this half catty of millet, plus the return system, these millets can be multiplied 10 times in his hands.

What's more, in the current situation, if you can't fight as hard as possible, try not to fight.

If you want revenge, there will be many opportunities in the future.

Now that the other party is still willing to reconcile and willing to give gifts, it's not impossible. Get the rice first.

As for what will happen in the future, who can say for sure?

So, Lu Wei nodded: "So that's how it is. I was wrong about you two.

Since you two are not to blame for this, then do as you said. Let the past be the past, and no one should take it to heart."

Everyone can lie with open eyes.

As he said, Lu Wei put the hatchet back to his waist, and the murderous aura on his body instantly dissipated.

Seeing Lu Wei put away the hatchet, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Ma San stepped forward and handed half a catty of millet to Lu Wei.

"It's just a little gift, don't think it's too little, brother."

Lu Wei took it without hesitation and said with a fake smile: "Haha, that's not the case. We can be regarded as acquaintances without fighting. We will have more exchanges in the future."

Ma San's mung bean-like eyes were almost invisible from laughing.

"It should be, it should be, then we will go back first, and we will talk later."

"Okay."

Lu Wei smiled and nodded, watching the two people's backs as they walked away, his eyes thoughtful.

There is something wrong with these two people. Did they poison the rice?

"Brother San, that's half a pound of millet, just give it to him?" Chen Qi asked with a painful look on his face.

Ma San sneered: "What if I don't give it to him? If you don't get rid of him, do you want to be unable to sleep every night?

There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days."

"Damn, it's a pity for half a pound of millet. It would be so delicious if you put some milk and meat in the porridge."

...

Because of the delay for a while, Lu Wei hurriedly pulled the sled to catch up with the caravan in front.

At noon, the caravan stopped to rest, and the refugees following behind did not dare to move forward alone, so they had to stop.

At this time every day, some refugees would take out some things to trade.

Some people sell clothes, some sell gold and silver, some sell their children, some sell themselves, and some even sell human flesh openly.

Almost all transactions want to exchange for food.

But at this time, food is equal to life, no matter who has food in their hands, they will not take it out.

Even if someone offers 10 taels of silver per pound, they can't get a grain of food.

Therefore, for most people, it would be good if they could trade some grass roots and wild vegetables.

Lu Wei only had half a pound of millet in his hand, and he had to keep it for having children, so he would definitely not use it to buy these useless things.

Although, he was a little tempted by the round buttocks of Wu Laoer's wife from the same village.

On both sides of the road, there were people with numb expressions and dying everywhere, and women and children had straw tags on their heads and were sold at low prices.

Lu Wei looked around and sighed slightly in his heart. In troubled times, human lives are like grass, nothing more than this.

After resting for a while, Lu Wei took his sister to continue on the road, trying to stay closer to the caravan.

In this way, they can find a place to sleep in advance at night.

Looking at the fully armed guard team in front and the carts of supplies, Lu Wei couldn't help but feel a little envious.

If he had known that there were warriors in this world earlier, he would have found a way to practice martial arts, and he wouldn't be so miserable now.

When he first came, he thought it was an ancient period on Earth, after all, the writing language and so on were the same.

The villagers are short-sighted and lack knowledge. Some of them have never left the village in their entire lives.

Even if you ask them, you can't find out the truth.

The village is far away from the city, hundreds of miles of mountain roads, and all kinds of wild beasts are rampant. If you want to go to the city, you can only follow the village team.

The village only organizes to go to the city to buy supplies once a year.

Lu Wei has been traveling here for half a year, but he has not caught up with the opportunity to go to the city.

It was not until this time that he began to escape from the famine that he realized that this world is not simple.

Fortunately, their village was on the way south, so they were well-informed.

Otherwise, they would not even know how to escape, and would become food for the monsters.

There were so many villages like this.

"What are you looking at! Get out of here!"

Just as Lu Wei's thoughts were drifting, a scolding came to his ears, bringing him back to his senses.

He looked up and saw a guard with a knife on his waist and a thin outfit, looking at him with disgust, as if he was looking at a stray dog.

Lu Wei said nothing, turned around calmly, and walked aside.

Although he was very unhappy, he could only bear it. These guards were all warriors, not ordinary people like him who could provoke.

Otherwise, there was so much food in the caravan, only more than a hundred people, and so many refugees, didn't anyone want to rob this caravan?

Yes, how could there be no one.

At the beginning of the famine escape, someone took the lead and incited everyone to rob the caravan.

As a result, thousands of people rushed forward together, and within a quarter of an hour, a pile of corpses was left.

Thousands of people, more than half of them were missing when they retreated.

Even so, the owner of the caravan did not let them go. Under the pursuit, none of those who participated in the robbery escaped.

Many innocent people who did not participate also died.

And Lu Wei also saw the horror of the warriors with his own eyes. The speed of movement was simply beyond the reaction of ordinary people.

With a sweep of the knife, more than a dozen people were cut in half, and their internal organs were scattered all over the ground, which made him pale.

Therefore, he dared not provoke this kind of warrior who was completely different from ordinary people.

A good man does not suffer a loss in front of him. Thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west. Don't bully the poor young people, don't bully the poor middle-aged people...

Wait until I become rich in the future, and see how I will deal with you.

After the caravan went far away, Lu Wei continued to move forward.

Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened.

The caravan stopped where it was and began to prepare for camping.

Lu Wei also pulled Lu Xiaoxiao and stopped at a secluded sheltered place, preparing to make a fire and start camping.

Unexpectedly, the system suddenly remembered,

"Ding, the host consumes (gives) 1 point of physical strength to return the target, triggering the return reward: 10 points of physical strength."
