Seeing that everyone in Xiaoli Village fell into a state of deep despair, Wang Chao couldn't help but take a step forward and asked one of the familiar people.
"Li Shu, how is the situation in your village now?"
"How is it? What else can we do? There is no food left at all. We can only wait to die now."
Li Shu's tone was full of resentment and helplessness, as well as a hint of deep despair and confusion, and he had no idea where the way forward was.
"Alas~!"
After listening to Li Shu's story, everyone couldn't help but sigh in unison.
Sadness, despair, confusion, all kinds of emotions were displayed on everyone's faces, and even the air pressure around them seemed to drop suddenly.
Even Wang Dahu and others fell silent at this time.
If they had no other choice, how could they let go of their good life and engage in this beheading business?
"We are going to go to Yuan Wu's house to snatch our food back..."
Wang Chao glanced at everyone and spoke directly without hiding anything.
First, when talking to these ordinary people at the bottom, they may not understand those convoluted words.
Secondly, the current situation has forced them to a dead end.
Now, the Dynasty is directly pointing out the problem and pointing out a way for them.
"you..."
The moment Wang Chao finished speaking, Li Shu and others made a commotion.
At this time, they just noticed the hatchets, some sickles, hammers, and even kitchen knives in the hands of Wang Chao and others.
It's okay that I didn't pay attention at first. Even if I was a little surprised, I didn't take it to heart.
Now, after they listened to Wang Chao's words, they instantly understood that they were preparing to grab food.
"You...you are rebelling by killing officials..."
Some people couldn't help but said slightly hastily.
For ordinary people like them, they don't know the difference between officials, officials and servants.
To them, they are all officials.
Including Wu Yuan, who is also the head of their place and also an official, they represent the court.
To attack Wu Yuan's family to steal food, for them, it would be a rebellion by killing officials.
"Hey, so what if you kill officials and rebel? In this world, God won't let us live, and the court won't let us live either. Do we have to wait here to die? Then we might as well rebel against Te Niang..."
Wang Dahu took a hatchet in his hand and stepped forward with a fierce step. He sneered with his blood-red eyes and said through gritted teeth.
"this..."
Some of the villagers in Xiaoli Village couldn't help but take a step back, hesitating slightly.
But more people's eyes flickered, staring at Wang Chao, Wang Dahu and others, and their breathing gradually became heavier.
Obviously, they were moved.
In fact, in today's world, natural and man-made disasters force them to make such a choice.
Seeing that many of the villagers in Xiaoli Village were already excited, Wang Sanshun also took two steps forward and said to everyone:
"We can't be considered a rebel now, right? We haven't attacked the county seat.
What's more, Wu Yuanwai is not actually an official. We are just taking back our own food.
Without that food, we would have to wait to die.
Do you just want to starve to death? "
After hearing Wang Sanshun's words, the hearts of those present immediately felt a sense of hostility.
They are all in their twenties and thirties, in their prime. Who would want to starve to death?
Even those who had been somewhat withdrawn stood firm.
Especially that sentence, Wu Yuanwai was not an official, which gave them great courage.
"Isn't Wu Yuanwai our chief? Why is he no longer an official?"
However, someone still asked hesitantly.
"The district chief is not among the officials. The county magistrate is the official..."
"Y-really?"
"certainly!"
After that, Li Shu frowned for an instant, with a stern look in his eyes. He turned to look at everyone in Xiaoli Village and said:
“Everyone is going to die, so it’s better to give it a try and maybe survive.
Moreover, after we robbed Yuanwai Wu and hid in the mountains, those officials might not have the time to pay attention to us. "
When everyone heard this, it seemed that there was some truth in it. If they went into the mountains, the officials might not be able to control them.
Are there still few bandits and thieves these days? I didn’t see the government sending troops to encircle or suppress anyone.
In everyone's minds, Wu Yuan's identity as an outsider and an inside officer has been eliminated among officials.
Regardless of whether everyone believes it or not, the mayor is not an official.
They are now suppressing it in their hearts temporarily, intentionally or unintentionally.
Whether it’s self-deception or something else.
They all need this statement to strengthen their beliefs.
In an instant, everyone present responded.
"Yes, yes, yes, I stole my mother-in-law's."
"You allowed Yuan Wu to snatch our food, but you didn't allow us to take it back?"
"If we are not allowed to live, then no one will have an easy time."
The next step was simple. The dynasty asked them to return to the village to mobilize the rest, prepare their own weapons, and then gather at the entrance of the village.
Xiaoli Village is adjacent to Xiaowangzhuang, but its scale is much larger, with a population of more than fifty households.
Normally, there are six people per household, which may be different at this time, but excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are still more than sixty people gathered in Xiaoli Village.
Looking at the crowd, Dynasty immediately selected the strongest ones among the crowd and put them into his own team.
Then they expanded the size of the teams led by Wang Dahu and Wang Shi.
The original team of ten people became a team of twenty people, and then the remaining twenty people were asked to form a team by Li Shucheng.
The reason why the dynasty selected the strongest group of people was not to form gangs and form its own powerful force.
He doesn't have that thought right now.
The reason why Dynasty is like this is simply because his team is the main battle and frontal attack team in the future, so it is natural to select the strongest group of people.
After all, the Dynasty has mastered a certain amount of extraordinary power, and coupled with its numerical advantage, it is somewhat confident that it can deal with the one or twenty guards.
In fact, if everyone swarmed forward, those nursing homes outside Yuan Wu might not dare to put up much resistance.
However, the dynasty was worried that Wang Shi and Li Shu were just ordinary farmers after all. Although they had been cornered, they were still a little timid in the face of Wu Yuanwai who represented the government.
What the Dynasty has to do is to break the shackles and timidity in their hearts.
When he sees the blood, he will personally lead the attack on the enthusiastic people, and everyone will give up a lot of fear and timidity.
When the time comes, there will be a swarm of people, but how powerful can a few nursing homes from a local elder's family still be?
In fact, there were more people, mainly to prevent someone from Yuan Wu's family from escaping.
If someone escapes and reports to the police, they will definitely be surrounded by officers and soldiers, and their life will not be easy.
Even if you choose this path, there will definitely be times when you face officers and soldiers.
But it certainly can’t be now.
The people now are just a group of hungry villagers without much fighting power.
Facing the servants and guardians of the landlords and wealthy people, there may be a wave of impact.
But if they face a real regular army, they are a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
As for the corruption of the officers and soldiers, it is much better than the victims of the disaster like them.
Anyway, if they can delay it for a day, Dynasty and the others can make more preparations, right?
Therefore, except for the team led by Chao Chao himself, the other teams were mainly to prevent someone from Wu Yuan's family from escaping.
In this way, including the more than thirty people in the Dynasty team, there are four teams in total, with a total of nearly a hundred people.
By the time everyone had finished forming the team, the sun had completely set to the west, and the originally hot temperature had dropped slightly.
Afterwards, Chao Chao led everyone and rushed towards Wujiazhuang.
Although everyone was already hungry, their chests were touching their backs, and coupled with the hot weather, they had already become weak.
However, the journey from Xiaoli Village to Wujiazhuang is only a few miles.
In just half an hour, everyone had arrived outside Wujiazhuang.
Wang Chao looked up at the sun and saw that the time had probably reached the end of Shen Shi, which was four or five o'clock.
Looking at Wujiazhuang ahead, except for a large courtyard in the middle, there is no difference from Xiaoli Village and Xiaowang Village.
It is even said that many places are not as good as them.
Because most of the villagers in Wujiazhuang are tenants of Wu Yuan's wife's family, and they really don't have any land.
The whole family rents farmland outside Wu Yuan's farm, and most of the grain has been taken away. Once a disaster strikes, they have no ability to withstand disasters at all.
Like Dynasty, although most of their land was sold to Wu Yuanwai, they still had some land of their own.
So in comparison, these tenants may be even worse off than the Dynasty and others.
But even so, they were conquered again by Wu Yuanwai.
Wu Yuanwai wanted to force them to either sell themselves directly and become slaves of Wu Yuanwai's family, or starve to death.
Including Wang Dynasty and others, Wu Yuanwai mainly forced them to sell their land and their lives. It can be said that after a natural disaster, even if some people can survive, their family will be penniless in the end, and even themselves will have to become slaves of Wu Yuanwai's family. Maid.
But this time, Wu Yuanwai was about to miscalculate.
Looking at the big house in the center of the village, Wang Chao and others had a fierce look in their eyes and were breathing heavily.
After looking at the sky, Wang Chao pondered slightly.
In fact, to be honest, now is not the best time to attack Wujiazhuang. It is best to wait until night or even ten minutes before dawn.
However, unlike the dynasty, everyone has been baptized by the power of heaven and earth. Not only is their strength twice as strong as when they were at their peak, but their hunger and fatigue have also been washed away.
If we really have to wait until night or even dawn, the hungry people may have even less fighting power by then.
Is it possible that when the time comes, we really have to rely on Dynasty to fight and charge alone?
Although he was confident, he was not confident enough to attack a nursing team of ten or twenty people by himself.
Thinking of this, Wang Chao's eyes sharpened.
In this case, let's just start the fight now.
