When Thursday had thrown everyone about and was about to toss Ying Zhong in as well, Ying Zhong glanced at him.
Thursday rubbed his index finger on his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Manual error, manual error."
Ying Zhong no longer had any good feelings towards the Zhou brothers.
When he returned, he would definitely tell his master to keep these seven people away from Sister Zhao Zhao!
He exhaled heavily.
He was outside now, and he had to maintain his "cute girl" persona and act as a mute.
But he still glared at Thursday before descending into the pit himself.
Thursday was somewhat baffled. Although, Ying Zhong was much cuter than Sunday.
If he had tossed Sunday in just now, he would probably be chased and beaten now.
Thursday shook his head and leaped into the pit with the last person.
Just then...
"Ahhh—"
A scream made him frown. He glanced around and saw that everyone was huddled together, retreating. This was because there was a wall.
Otherwise, he felt that these people would have run out.
But no one had spoken, so why was there a scream?
Thursday asked, "Who's screaming? Aren't you worried about a sore throat?"
Ying Zhong, who was beside him, poked him with his finger with extreme exasperation, then pointed at the ground beneath him.
Thursday then looked down.
"Oh, so I stepped on someone."
Thursday very innocently moved his foot away and then apologized with extreme insincerity, "Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."
However, after he said this and looked up again, the group of people who had been rescued were all pressed tightly against the wall.
Thursday was even more confused, "Don't be scared."
He took a step forward, and they all retreated a little.
Thursday: "..."
Finally, Ying Zhong pulled him back.
He whispered into his ear with a hint of disappointment, "Brother Zhou Si, don't scare them. Just be good and wait for Sister Zhao Zhao to come back."
Thursday glanced at Ying Zhong and suddenly felt that it made sense.
After all, he had been a bit brutal just now.
But it felt a little awkward for the two of them to stand in the middle of the crowd doing nothing.
Thursday looked at the people groaning on the ground and finally decided to arrange them.
He looked up and pointed at the cluster of people at the far end of the pit.
The person pointed at immediately knelt down in fear.
Thursday: "..."
Ying Zhong rolled his eyes at Thursday again, exasperated, and pulled his outstretched hand down.
"Please make way."
As soon as he spoke, the crowd scattered with a whoosh.
Their speed even made Thursday feel inferior.
Everyone watched as Thursday, as if throwing garbage, grabbed the people on the ground and threw them to the back.
The crowd: "..."
While they were grateful for the help in avenging them, they were also afraid that they would be the next ones to be thrown.
Everyone silently watched Zhou Si and Ying Zhong arrange the bloody people by the wall, one by one, like arranging plates.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive. They wanted to run!
Some people actually tried. While Zhou Si and Ying Zhong weren't paying attention, they took off running towards the only source of light.
Everyone hoped that this brave person would succeed.
They were watching.
However, as expected, he failed.
Everyone watched as he was brought down by a sack.
Before this reckless person could even get up, everyone saw a refined man descend from the cave entrance, followed by a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
The crowd couldn't help but tut-tut. Although it was quite scary, they were truly handsome.
When Zhou Ri descended, he frowned and looked at the pool of blood on the ground, "Fourth Brother, what are you doing?"
However, before Zhou Si could answer.
Zhou Ri was immediately silenced by Zhou Liu, who had also descended.
"Sixth Brother! When will you ever change your habit of hitting people!"
Zhou Liu tutted, "When will you ever change your habit of being so mouthy?"
Zhou Ri was about to retort, but he caught a glimpse of a bright spot in the corner and immediately lost interest in messing with his brother.
Miss Zhong'er was here, he'd go play with Miss Zhong'er.
Zhou Wu and Zhou Liu shook their heads from behind, looking at them like fools.
It was probably only this silly boy, Zhou Ri, who hadn't realized that Miss Zhong'er was a boy.
The two of them felt a bit speechless but still had important matters to attend to.
They cleaned up the ground and then prepared to help people down.
But a clear female voice from above made them step aside.
The crowd shivered upon hearing this voice. They were truly grateful, but now they were truly afraid.
Then, a light-colored figure descended.
The light shone on her, making her already exquisite features even more captivating.
However...
She was holding a rabbit with a dagger stuck in its chest.
The rabbit's legs were still twitching.
Song Qing Chao didn't consider what these people were saying.
As soon as she landed, she took a brief look at the situation and then handed the rabbit in her hand to Zhou Liu.
Zhou Liu took it, grabbed the rabbit by its ears, and climbed up from the cave entrance.
Everyone tsk-tsk-ed at his agile movements.
They didn't know what all this commotion was for.
Song Qing Chao herself didn't understand either.
But none of that mattered.
She adjusted her skirt and then watched Zhou Wu take out the contents of the sack.
A piece of processed pork, all cut into pieces.
As well as a pile of flatbreads and a large pot.
"You've thought of everything."
Zhou Wu grunted and explained, "I met Mr. Bai on the way back. He said that people who haven't eaten for a long time shouldn't have too much meat and should eat more dry rations."
He pointed at the cut meat and flatbread, "Mr. Bai prepared all of this, which is why I was able to return so quickly."
Song Qing Chao froze when she heard Mr. Bai's name.
The hand that was gripping her skirt unconsciously tightened.
Was he still worried about her?
But if he was worried, why did he leave so resolutely...
"Master?"
Song Qing Chao snapped back to attention, "What is it?"
"Should we distribute it?"
Song Qing Chao glanced at the people hiding aside and did not nod. "Tell them that if they want to eat, they have to go out and collect firewood to exchange for it. Those who can cook can stay and help, which can also be exchanged. In short, if they want to eat, they have to exchange it for something equivalent."
Zhou Wu hesitated, "Won't they run away if we let them out?"
Song Qing Chao released her skirt and tucked her hands into her sleeves, "No."
She let out a cold breath, "I don't want to keep those who run away."
After giving the instructions, she walked directly towards the innermost part.
"Master."
Zhou Si pulled Zhou Ri and stood to the side, bowing respectfully.
Zhou Ri was unwilling, but he still quietly called out, "Miss," before Zhou Si poked him in the stomach.
Song Qing Chao didn't mind.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the people Zhou Si had threaded together like candied hawthorns with rope, "Ying Zhong, do you have enough medicine?"
Ying Zhong looked a little confused but nodded and took out the package he was carrying behind him, "Yes."
"That's good."
Song Qing Chao covered her mouth and smiled, but her words were unsettling.
The refugees nearby were even more scared into immobility.
"Take a piece of flesh from their legs and let out some blood from their stomachs."
Song Qing Chao glanced at Ying Zhong, "Remember not to let them die."
