Chapter Twelve The Dangerous Night

 When passing by the group of people selling their sons and daughters to sell themselves, Qin Shaoyou took out dry food and distributed it to those with children.

He didn't give money.

It's not that I'm stingy, but I'm afraid that after these people take the money, they won't survive tonight.

Outside the city, there are not only terrifying beasts and demons, but also even more terrifying human beings.

"Amitabha, sir, you have mercy." Monk Ma clasped his hands together and sighed softly. He also took out dry food and distributed it to these poor people.

Zhu Xiucai and all the powerful men are naturally no exception.

When they were distributing dry food, they did not forget to look around vigilantly.

However, since they brought knives, these people did not dare to mess around and could only stretch out their hands and pray.

After these people got the dry food, they immediately stuffed it into their own and their children's mouths.

They just chewed a few times in a hurry, and then swallowed it wholeheartedly, as if they were afraid that someone would take the food from their hands and mouths.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

But no one listened to Qin Shaoyou's persuasion.

This made him couldn't help but sigh again.

Qin Shaoyou wanted to give all the dry food he brought this time to these poor people.

But Zhu Xiucai stopped him and whispered: "Sir, we can't give any more. These people have been hungry for too long. If they suddenly eat too much food, there will be problems."

Qin Shaoyou knew that what Zhu Xiucai said was reasonable, so he could only harden his heart and not look at the expectant eyes of these people. He whipped the horse's butt hard and said, "Let's go!"

The group of people rode away, leaving these poor people kneeling on the roadside, hoping to sell themselves and their children.

Time passed in the evening.

In the Demon Division of Luocheng Town, Xue Qingshan took the inventory report submitted by the arsenal and the spiritual object room.

He was dumbfounded when he saw the long list of weapons, equipment and supernatural items listed above.

After a moment of silence, Xue Qingshan slapped the table and roared:

"Why did Qin Shaoyou take so many weapons, equipment and supernatural items? Is he going to investigate the case or go to war? Why doesn't he just empty the arsenal and the spiritual object room?"

The manager of the arsenal and the night watchman of the spiritual object room looked at each other, and unanimously replied in their hearts: "You are right, he really thought about doing this."

After Xue Qingshan cursed a few times, he raised his head and stared at them both, asking: "Why didn't you stop him then?"

"this……"

The managers of the arsenal and the night watchman of the spirit room were in a dilemma, not knowing how to answer this question.

You can't say that Qin Shaoyou has the warrant you gave him and he's your brother-in-law, so we don't dare to stop him, right?

Although this is the truth, they cannot tell it and do not dare to tell it.

A general bannerman who came to report on his work saw this scene and thought it was an opportunity to perform, so he volunteered:

"Sir, do you want me to take people to recover the weapons, equipment and supernatural items that Qin Xiaoqi and the others took away?"

"Um?"

Xue Qingshan frowned slightly and glanced at this person from the corner of his eye.

This look is a little cold.

He put down the list in his hand, rubbed his temples, ignored the flattering general banner, and said to the managers of the arsenal and the night watchman of the spiritual object room:

"Forget it this time. From now on, Qin Shaoyou will go to your place to get something. Don't give it to him yet. Show me the list. Only after I approve it can he take it away."

"yes!"

The managers of the arsenal and the night watchman of the spiritual object room nodded hurriedly and accepted the order.

The general flag on the side couldn't help but shudder.

He realized that he might have flattered the horse's leg, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He wanted to make up for it, but he didn't know where to start.

And on the other side.

Qin Shaoyou and others who were on their way also encountered a crisis.

"Is this the inn you're talking about?"

Qin Shaoyou raised his whip and pointed at the wasteland in front of him.

In addition to the weeds half a person's height, there is only a low and incomplete earth wall in this place.

The houses and yards that should have been there at the inn were all missing.

Zhu Xiucai, who was leading the way, also looked confused.

"That's right here. I lived here the year before last, but where is the inn? Why is it gone? Could it be that it was abolished?"

Abolish the inn? Good fellow, aren’t you afraid that the unemployed postmen will rebel?

Qin Shaoyou complained in his heart, and then looked up at the sky.

The sun has set, the sky is starting to get dark, and night will fall soon.

In this world, night means danger.

Especially outside the city.

Weird monsters, hungry beasts, ferocious bandits and desperate refugees, etc., are all ready to move under the cover of night, looking for prey.

So when spending the night outside the city, be sure to find a place with a wall.

This way you can stay close to the wall when you are in danger.

If you sleep in the wilderness, you will often die miserably.

But in the wasteland in front of us, although there is a wall, there is only one side, and it is still half a person's height.

What a waste!

"Are there any temples or villages near here?"

Qin Shaoyou withdrew his gaze from observing the sky and asked the men beside him.

"Sir, why don't we go to Wujiabao? It's not far from here. We should be able to arrive when it gets completely dark." A strongman suggested.

"Wujiabao? Where is that place?" Qin Shaoyou asked.

Lishi hurriedly introduced: "This is the Wubao built in Wujia Village nearby for self-protection..."

It turns out that in this season when demons and bandits are everywhere, many forts have been built in various places.

Some of these forts were built by powerful families living outside the city, while others were built by villagers of the same clan who gathered together spontaneously.

The purpose is the same, to guard against the harm caused by demons, ghosts and bandits, to protect oneself and to survive.

The same is true for Wujiabao.

It's just that most Wubao, whether built by powerful families or by fellow villagers, are unwilling to receive outsiders, fearing that outsiders will bring danger to them.

But Wujiabao is different. They are willing to accept passing caravans and travelers, provide them with protection, and allow them to have a relatively safe place to spend the night.

In the past few years, Wujiabao has also taken in many refugees, and its reputation has spread, becoming a well-known home of kindness from all over the country. Even the government gave them a plaque saying "Yi Zong Xiang Bang"

, to show commendation and encouragement.

After listening to the powerful man's introduction, Qin Shaoyou turned his attention to Zhu Xiucai.

The latter nodded and said: "I have also heard some stories about Wujiabao. It is indeed a good family as Lao Wei said. Going to their place to spend the night should be the best choice at the moment."

"Then go."

Qin Shaoyou no longer hesitated and pointed at Wei Lishi with his riding crop.

"You lead the way."

"yes!"

Wei Lishi accepted the order and galloped ahead to lead the way, followed closely by Qin Shaoyou and others.

When they arrived near Wujiabao, it was completely dark.

Although the journey went smoothly, Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai, Ma Monk and others still sensed danger.

There were countless pairs of eyes hidden in the surrounding darkness, spying on them, making their hair stand on end. They were on high alert throughout the process.

Qin Shaoyou even felt for a time that he was like a chicken or duck being picked out in a vegetable market.

Once the eyes hidden in the darkness discover their laxity and carelessness, these unknown dangers will emerge from all directions like sharks that smell blood, tearing them apart and devouring them.

Fortunately, Wujiapu has finally arrived.
