Chapter 1048, Rites Before Troops

Ren Xiaosu still had more potatoes in his hand, but he didn’t give these refugees to eat, not because he had no pity or coldness in his heart, but only by keeping these people hungry, he was able to smoothly bring the other side along with him to the great northwest.

When is a person most lacking in reason? Was it when one was completely hungry? Not really.

Rather, it was when a person was in a state of complete starvation, but realized that they would be able to eat immediately.

Ren Xiaosu felt from the bottom of his heart that Zhou would not care if these people lived or died, Wang was likewise using them as weapons, and Qing was unable to take them away, so the only way out for the refugees was left to Daxing Northwest.

He wouldn’t let these people starve to death, as soon as the steam train carrying these people arrived in the northwest, Ren Xiaosu would immediately distribute the potatoes.

At that time, not only did he save lives, but he would also have a lot of thank you coins right ……

Now his thank you coins have long broken the 8,000 mark, and there is only a stone’s throw away from unlocking the third weapon, Ren Xiaosu thought that he was saving lives, so he had to harvest one thank you coin from each person.

The refugees in the vicinity of the Zhou Clan, there are hundreds of thousands of them, he can also bring 100,000 people to the northwest, right?

With 100,000 Thank You Coins, he was afraid that he would even be able to unlock the fourth weapon!

Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu’s gaze towards the group of refugees grew hotter and hotter.

Only, once the refugees heard that they were going to follow Ren Xiaosu, they hesitated a bit, after all, this chaotic world was full of dangers, a normal person would instinctively consider if there was some kind of conspiracy in the fact that the other party was giving the potatoes for free and taking them away.

“Where are you taking us? Is it far?” A young man asked after a moment of hesitation.

Ren Xiaosu grinned, “It’s not far, at most we can get there in a day.”

Everyone calculated, a place that could be walked to in a day would only be seventy to eighty kilometers at most, right? They had to know that they couldn’t walk fast in their current state.

However, what they didn’t know was that what Ren Xiaosu said about being able to get there in a day was by steam train, Zhou’s distance from Barrier 144 was more than 2,000 kilometers in a straight line, and it would take 23 hours to get there even by steam train.

To be honest, when this group of people go to the northwest, want to walk back to the Central Plains again by themselves are already not very realistic, it can be said that there is absolutely no turning back ……

At this time Ren Xiaosu said, “Thousands of you are here, even if you want to leave in the middle of the journey, you can all return at any time, we are just two people, can we still stop everyone?”

What he wants to do now is to coax this group of people onto the steam train, when the steam train is traveling at 120 kilometers per hour, Ren Xiaosu really doesn’t believe who has the courage to jump off the train.

If they really wanted to have that courage, they wouldn’t stay here and starve.

The crowd of refugees looked at each other in dismay, everyone really had a lot to worry about, fearing that Ren Xiaosu was abducting them to become human traffickers or something, selling them to bandits or something like that.

Everyone’s guesses are wild and crazy, in short, they feel that Ren Xiaosu and Dazhuyou’s purpose is not pure.

Everyone is a refugee, not a fool, not really just for a few potatoes to run away with people, ghost knows Ren Xiaosu take them to the place is not really have food?

A young woman holding a little girl said, “You just helped drive away that person who bullied us mother and daughter, I believe you, I’ll go with you!”

Ren Xiaosu smiled and nodded, then pulled out two more milk candies from his pocket and stuffed them into the little girl’s hands as he said to all the refugees around him, “Remember, although I’m taking all of you away this time, if there are still people who are doing wrong amongst you, please let me know ahead of time to clear them out, as we don’t welcome evil people in that paradise, so as not to have anyone become a black sheep. ”

In fact, this is a kind of psychological implication, Ren Xiaosu directly put himself on the opposite side of the evil people, many people will subconsciously put him on the good side of the guess, and even give him a title of “chivalrous” and other speculations.

For a while, many people stepped forward: “We’ll go with you, but you have to keep your promise, we’ll have food when we get to the place.”

Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, when we get to the place we will definitely have enough, if I can’t do it, so many of you can beat me up together.”

Before this, he and Wang Yuexii discussed about Zhou Yingxue planting potatoes and the market economy, we all agreed that Zhou Yingxue planting potatoes is not suitable for large-scale promotion, so as not to affect the normal operation mechanism of the Northwest.

But the potatoes can be emergency, such as the current situation, with potatoes to feed so many people, so that everyone together with the Northwest, is absolutely the best choice!

As long as you survive this year, from next year onwards the Northwest will become more and more prosperous!

In just half an hour, almost half of the refugees have decided to follow Ren Xiaosu, but Ren Xiaosu still thinks it’s not enough, his goal is to take away eighty percent.

However, right at this moment, the commotion on his side was too great, causing Zhou’s guard forces to be startled over.

The big luminary had been watching and listening, and just as the guard forces at the city gates moved, he whispered to Ren Xiaosu, “Zhou’s people are coming over, what should we do? Kill them?”

With the strength of the two of them, it really wasn’t much of a problem to deal with this guard force of over a hundred people.

Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, “Let’s be polite first.”

At this time, the Zhou soldiers of the guard force had already approached over with loaded guns, and they looked at the crowd of refugees gathered and roared, “Disperse! All disperse! Don’t gather here to cause trouble!”

Once the refugees heard this, they immediately dispersed, drilling back to their respective temporary shacks, they also wanted to see how Ren Xiaosu would deal with Zhou’s side of the matter, if these two people could not solve the Zhou’s, then what they said to take them away were just empty words.

However, the refugees suddenly realized that Ren Xiaosu and Dazhuyou were sitting by the campfire without moving, as if they weren’t afraid of the guard soldiers at all.

Hundreds of soldiers realized that Ren Xiaosu and Dahuyou were the initiators of this gathering, and immediately surrounded the two of them, and an officer came out and said in a cold voice: “Are you refugees or spies, and what is the purpose of your gathering here?”

Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, “I am not a spy or a refugee, I am just an ordinary northwesterner, as for what purpose I came here for, I am afraid that with your rank you are unable to have a conversation with me, so call Zhou Shiji or Zhou Shoushi to come and talk to me.”

That guard officer gasped and laughed, “Zhou Shiji and Zhou Shou Shi those two old things are both dead, what are you kidding me about?!”

Ren Xiaosu was silent for a while, only to see his right arm suddenly wrapped in metallic external armor before asking, “Then do you know how they died?”
