Perhaps it was because they were sincere when they thanked him back then, or perhaps the palace did not want Ren Xiaosu to die, so they only gave him gratitude tokens when they thanked him seven times. But now, they did not even have a single token to thank him with.
Ren Xiaosu felt a little regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would have thanked them a few more times!
However, Ren Xiaosu did not notice that Yan Liuyuan, who was next to him, was confused. Others might not have heard what Ren Xiaosu said, but he did.
The trauma of being asked by Ren Xiaosu to thank him for an entire night was still lingering in his mind. But now, Ren Xiaosu was even thanking himself? And what the hell did he mean by thanking him for eating grapes without spitting out the skin? Could he be any less considerate?
Suddenly, there was another commotion in front of the crowd. It turned out that Wang Yiheng had ordered the refugees to search everyone present one by one. It seemed like he was going to collect everyone's food.
Wait a minute, it wasn't just food.
Ren Xiaosu saw the refugees taking away all the watches and jewelry from everyone else's wrists. They didn't even let a single piece of gold or silver jewelry go!
These people who had escaped from the stronghold were really unlucky. They had just lost their families in the morning, and now they had to be ransacked again in the evening. If they made it to Stronghold 109, they probably wouldn't even have anything they could sell on them.
Wang Fugui was a little nervous. "Xiaosu, will they take everything away from us?"
As a matter of fact, the things Wang Fugui was carrying with him were his entire life's savings, medicine, gold, and cash. These things were all very valuable, so the refugees would definitely not let them go.
But Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "Don't worry, no one can take them away."
At first, Ren Xiaosu did not want to deal with Wang Yiheng and the others. He only wanted to get to Stronghold 109 safely. But the problem was that even if he did not look for trouble, trouble would come looking for him.
The refugees were as obedient as a flock of sheep at this moment. No one dared to resist when more than 600 refugees were searching them. They did not even dare to say a word. In fact, they just stood there and did not even dare to run away.
This made it hard for Ren Xiaosu to understand. If there were people among the three thousand of them who could raise their arms and call for resistance, what would these six hundred people amount to?
The refugees were indeed more ferocious than the stronghold residents, but it was difficult for two fists to take on four hands, so what was there to be afraid of?
Ren Xiaosu saw that among the crowd, only the female teacher was sneaking back with dozens of students, trying to avoid being searched.
At the beginning, the refugees were quite timid when they were being searched. After all, they were facing stronghold residents, who used to be high and mighty existences in their minds.
But they gradually realized the stronghold residents did not dare to resist, so they became more and more unscrupulous. They would even deliberately get physical when searching some women!
At this moment, the female teacher passed by Ren Xiaosu's group with her students and stopped behind Ren Xiaosu's group. It seemed like she wanted to observe first before deciding whether to continue retreating.
However, some refugees had already arrived.
Ren Xiaosu looked at those refugees and wondered if he would be recognized by them. If they had changed their clothes and blended in with the crowd, it shouldn't be that obvious, right?
More than ten refugees walked over with bags of all sizes. They were all wearing watches on their hands, and they had all just been looted.
Watches were very valuable items in town and in the stronghold. Originally, only Old Li from the grocery store in town had one. Even Wang Fugui didn't have one!
It looked like there were quite a few rich and influential people among the refugees. However, their power and status had vanished into thin air.
Ren Xiaosu watched in silence as the dozen refugees walked over. But when those refugees saw Ren Xiaosu, they froze. Ren Xiaosu sighed to himself. They recognized him at a glance. His disguise had failed.
Just as Ren Xiaosu was thinking about how to deal with these refugees, the refugees who were in charge of searching for valuables decisively circled around to search others.
The people around Ren Xiaosu looked over in surprise. What was going on? Why did those ferocious refugees take the initiative to bypass this young man?
Why? Wasn't he just a 16 or 17-year-old kid?
In fact, those people had seen it. When the refugees saw Ren Xiaosu, their expressions revealed a deep sense of fear. It was as though they were a little afraid of Ren Xiaosu.
They could not understand why these refugees would be afraid of him.
But what they did not know was that even when the town was still intact, no one would dare to provoke Ren Xiaosu, much less now that they were fleeing. He was a notoriously ruthless person, and he even had a gun on him!
Although the refugees knew that Wang Fugui and Wang Dalong must have a lot of valuable items in their bags, their lives were more important!
The group of students and female teacher behind Ren Xiaosu watched all of this in silence. The female teacher looked at Ren Xiaosu's back thoughtfully and gradually pursed her lips.
Just as the refugees turned around to search others, Ren Xiaosu suddenly said, "Ahem, you guys, come over here."
The refugees froze. They turned to look at Ren Xiaosu and said stiffly, "What's the matter?"
"That watch isn't bad," Ren Xiaosu said.
The refugees looked at one another. They had fucking robbed more than a thousand people already, but when it came to Ren Xiaosu, they ended up getting robbed instead! How could they explain this to anyone!
The people around them were even more speechless. So there was someone even more ruthless hiding around them?!
One of the refugees tore off a watch from his wrist and handed it to Ren Xiaosu. He was shedding tears of humiliation.
Coincidentally, he had seen how Ren Xiaosu killed people outside the school.
The refugees were about to turn around and leave. They wanted to get as far away from Ren Xiaosu as possible, but Ren Xiaosu's voice rang out again. "You! You! You! You! Your watches aren't bad either. "
When Ren Xiaosu pointed at four people, their faces darkened. Why wasn't he done yet?
But what else could they say? They could only obediently take off their watches and hand them to Ren Xiaosu. At this moment, everyone around them was shocked. This young man was too ruthless!
Ren Xiaosu did not continue robbing them. After all, he did not really want to confront these refugees head-on. After all, amiability made money.
He waved his hand and said, "Go on."
The refugees immediately slipped away as though they had been granted amnesty. The swelling feeling that had built up in their hearts earlier had disappeared completely.
Ren Xiaosu handed the four watches he had just snatched to his Sister Xiaoyu and the others. He said happily, "Here, we can check the time from now on."
This was the first time in Wang Fugui's life that he had worn a watch. He took the watch from Wang Dalong and said with a smile, "Quick, thank you, Uncle Xiaosu!"
Wang Dalong was on the verge of tears. Why had he been demoted for no reason?!
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu's mind was filled with endless fantasies. He would not usually rob others, but it shouldn't be a big deal to do something like this.
