Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

Chapter 93 Encountering Robbers on the Road

food!

In this warehouse, they saw mountains of grain.

Wang Yuan led them to start moving the grain. Since most of the grain belonged to Wang Lin, he didn't care how much he moved.

After loading the grain, Wang Yuan led them to the pig farm to start unloading the slaughtered pork.

As the large, fat pigs were loaded onto the truck, the security personnel at the factory couldn't help but laugh.

Such a big pig must have a lot of meat on it. Once it's brought back to the factory, the factory will probably distribute some meat to the factory workers. After all, the factory can't process so much meat in a short time.

Everyone worked hard all morning, and with the help of the townspeople led by Wang Yuan, the four vehicles were quickly filled.

After Wang Yuan approved the note for Wang Lin, he needed to take it to the Changwei Security Department to claim reimbursement.

Wang Yuan first gave these things to the Third Steel Rolling Mill, and Wang Lin collected the money on behalf of the town. It was just a formality; in the end, the money all went into Wang Lin's pocket.

After all the supplies were loaded onto the truck, Wang Yuan arranged for the women in the town to prepare a hearty lunch for Wang Lin and his men, so they could eat and drink their fill before setting off.

No one could refuse Mayor Wang Yuan's enthusiasm, so everyone happily accepted.

Lunch was quite sumptuous, just as plentiful as ever, but this time the dishes had some local flavors.

Wang Lin hadn't had authentic Sichuan cuisine in a long time.

Everyone's mouths were greasy from the meal, but after this meal, they could endure for a long time without eating meat.

After we had eaten and drunk our fill, we got ready to set off, checked the car, and headed back.

The Third Steel Rolling Mill is waiting for this batch of supplies to give its employees a prosperous New Year.

At the entrance of the town, everyone waved goodbye to the kind-hearted townspeople.

"Mayor, thank you for your hospitality."

It was easy to tell from the way the factory security personnel left that they really liked the place.

"Have a safe trip."

The townspeople waved goodbye.

After the four cars drove off the bumpy road, no one could remember the exact route or how to get to the forks in the road. No one cared about it and just assumed that their memory was too bad.

Because the truck was full of supplies, everyone was extra cautious on the way back.

These supplies are enough to tempt some people and tempt them to do something wicked.

This era is not entirely peaceful.

Sitting in the car, everyone said that the two trips had been particularly safe, but who knew that on the way back they would encounter obstacles and robberies.

The robbers were armed with two shotguns and some knives and clubs; there were about twenty of them.

Zhou Guohua was in the lead car. When he saw the roadblock ahead, he immediately braked and stopped the car. Being experienced, he immediately reversed the car.

When the car behind sees the car in front reversing, it means there's something going on ahead, so it immediately reverses as well.

The robbers, who had been waiting for their prey, were not about to let the four vehicles leave. They swarmed forward, ready to surround the vehicles.

The robberies were swift and well-organized, with some members even grabbing chains and trying to stop the truck by maneuvering behind the wheels.

The security personnel in the passenger seat were no pushovers either; they quickly grabbed a Q, opened the window, and fired a shot.

The Q sound rang out.

Logically, these robbers should have been afraid, but not only were they not afraid, some even fired shotguns.

When Zhou Guohua heard the Q sound, his face darkened. He feared he would not be able to escape unscathed this time.

To protect the supplies, the security personnel immediately opened the car doors and got out, pointing their Q-cards at the masked robbers.

Tang Tang had never seen anything like this before, and she clung to Li Tang's arm in fear.

Although Li Tang was also afraid, he was a man, and he was in front of his goddess. He calmly said to Tang Tang, "Don't be afraid. These robbers are just robbing supplies. They won't dare to touch us."

Of course, even he himself didn't believe that these robbers would let them go so easily when he said that.

"It seems they are from a village."

After Wang Lin opened the car door and got out, he looked at the robbers who surrounded the four cars. There were about 23 of them, two of whom looked younger.

The masked man leading the group, carrying a hunting rifle, approached the lead vehicle and shouted, "Those who want to live, leave your food behind; you can leave with the vehicle."

The factory security personnel hiding next to the car kept watch on each other. They couldn't be afraid. At this moment, someone needed to go out and talk to the robbers.

They're okay with making calls, but they don't have the guts to go out and talk to the robbers.

Wang Lin volunteered to step out from beside the car. He raised his hand and shouted to the robbers, "Heroes! We're delivering grain to the factory. If you rob us, you'll definitely alert the police."

Everyone present understood what was going on, but they simply couldn't survive. Their village was suffering from drought and water shortages, and they had no harvest. To avoid starvation, they had no choice but to take this path.

The leader of the robbers pointed the Hunter Q at Wang Lin's head and roared, "Stop talking nonsense! I don't care which factory you're delivering to, as long as you leave this grain, I guarantee you'll leave safely."

Wang Lin didn't act impulsively. His Spider-Man sixth sense hadn't given him any warning, which meant the robber was just trying to scare him. "Hero! If you're short of food, I can recommend a place to you. There's plenty of food there, and they can even take you in. Why risk your life with your whole family?"

"Is this person telling the truth?"

"Impossible! Are there still people willing to accept us outsiders?"

"Don't believe us, folks. It's not like we haven't been to other villages before. And what happened? They chased us away and wouldn't even let us drink water."

"But what if there is such a place? It's better than doing this kind of thing."

Upon hearing this, the robbers wondered if there really was a place that would take them in.

In the past month, they visited several villages, but not only did the villagers not welcome them, they couldn't even settle down outside the villages.

Having left their hometown, Chen Dayong and his accomplices could only lead these villagers out to rob others, using the village's last two hunting dogs.

Today, on their first attempt to set up a roadblock and rob someone, they encountered Wang Lin's convoy. Judging from the number of vehicles and their speed, the convoy was definitely carrying grain, so they set up a roadblock and robbed them.

Seeing that his fellow villagers were somewhat interested, Chen Dayong held up the Hunting Q and approached Wang Lin, staring intently into his eyes as he asked, "Is there really such a place?"

Wang Lin nodded sincerely and said, "Yes, and it's not far from here, just a day's journey."

Indeed, Peach Blossom Town is not far from here; they had only driven out a short while ago, but it would still take most of the day to walk there.

"Is what you said true?"

Chen Dayong didn't care whether the journey took one or three days; as long as there was hope, he was willing to give it a try.

Wang Lin nodded and said, "Of course it's true, I can take you there myself."

Chen Dayong thought it over. He couldn't just listen to Wang Lin's one-sided story. What if they let the supplies go and Wang Lin ran away again? Then they would all starve to death!

"Let's go out and help Wang Lin!"

"Don't be impulsive! Wang Lin has already negotiated with the robbers. Let's assess the situation first."

"I actually backed down just now, I'm ashamed of Brother Wang Lin."

"Me too!"

The security personnel at the headquarters listened to Wang Lin negotiating with the robbers outside, and they were filled with shame, realizing that they didn't even have the courage of an eighteen-year-old lad.

Zhao Li, holding the Q, glanced at his colleagues and comforted them, "Don't blame yourselves too much. Nobody wants to encounter something like this. After all, you all have families and children, and nobody wants to sacrifice themselves."

Everyone has selfish motives. If someone dies in the line of duty while escorting supplies to the factory, they might only receive some compensation. But if they survive, their monthly salary can support their entire family.

Nobody wants the factory to just give them a small pension after they die.

Chen Dayong discussed it with a few good friends in the village and decided to trust Wang Lin for the time being and let Wang Lin take them to that place.

After the robbers finished their discussion, Chen Dayong approached Wang Lin with the Q and said, "You can pass through the car, but you need to stay here and take us to this place."

Wang Lin said without hesitation, "Sure, just let them get going. I can guide you."

Chen Dayong warned, "I advise you not to try any tricks. Our Hunter Q doesn't have eyes."

Hunter Q was telling the truth, but in front of Wang Lin at this moment, he was no different from a stick. He could easily kill Chen Dayong with his physical strength and speed. However, he was willing to help them out because they were also in a difficult situation. If it were a real robber, he would have already started a massacre. Why would he risk his life and waste words?

After reaching an agreement, Wang Lin called out to his men behind him, "Alright, everyone, come out and continue driving back."

Zhou Guohua, Zhao Li, and others emerged from the back of the car carrying Q.

Chen Dayong and another man, each armed with a Hunter Q, were watching them closely. They couldn't afford to be careless at this moment.

Wang Lin said to Zhao Li, "Old Zhao, you know the way back. I'll stay here and take them to Peach Blossom Town. They're all poor people who couldn't make a living and had to leave their homes."

Zhao Li listened to Wang Lin's words without suspicion. There was no need for Wang Lin to put on this act. He was the one who led the team to pick up the supplies. So Zhao Li followed Wang Lin's instructions and led them onto the vehicle to take the supplies back first.

The window rolled down when the third car passed by.

"Team Leader Wang, you must return safely." Li Tang didn't know what to say, so he could only pray that he would return safely.

"Wang Lin! Be very careful." Tang Tang could only warn Wang Lin to be careful.

Wang Lin waved his hand without any psychological pressure and said, "Don't worry, you guys go ahead, I'll be back in two or three days."

After watching the four vehicles pass through the roadblock, Wang Lin said to Chen Dayong and the others, "Throw away your robber outfits and come with me."

After exchanging glances, Chen Dayong and the others removed their masks, revealing their true faces—all dark-skinned farmers.

Wang Lin waved his hand and said, "Everyone, stay close. I'll take you to a new place to settle down."

As for being afraid?

No, it won't attract outsiders to Taoyuan Town. When the situation changes in the future, Wang Lin will have a way to make a living.

Little did they know that Wang Lin's failure to return to the Third Steel Rolling Plant this time led to a line of vehicles surrounding the plant.

A high-ranking official personally interrogated Director Yang and other leaders!

Chapter 94 Hunting Wild Boars

Chen Dayong could also see that Wang Lin might be sincere. He put down the Hunter Q and said to Wang Lin, "Brother! I'm really sorry about what happened earlier. If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have done such a heinous thing."

Wang Lin shook his head to show his understanding and said, "Alright, I'm not blaming you for robbing us. Besides, if you hadn't robbed us, you might not have had this opportunity."

Chen Dayong thought about it and agreed. He said to Wang Lin, "Brother, wait a moment, my cousin has gone to call the other people in the village."

"Alright, then hurry up and bring the rest of the people over."

Wang Lin thought about it and realized that only the young laborers in the village would be out there robbing people; the elderly, weak, women and disabled would definitely be hiding.
