Chapter 313: Encountering moral kidnapping!
Chapter 313: Encountering moral kidnapping!
The vast majority of these people did not come from Peking, but appeared at various places along the way. There were not many official roads that were easy to travel on, so this was obviously the best choice for everyone.
Like small rivers, they converge into a wide river and then flow together into the vast ocean.
Besides, there is safety in numbers.
When some ordinary small bandits see so many people, they will also consider in their hearts whether their side is strong enough.
It’s a kind of group warmth!
When Qin Yan saw these, she couldn't help but feel strange emotions in her heart.
In the final analysis, it’s all about “bitterness”.
These people should have lived an ordinary and peaceful life in their hometown.
But now they have to leave their hometown and family, and it is still unknown whether they can survive safely.
In troubled times, the first to suffer are the common people at the bottom of society.
But the suffering has just begun!
The further you go, the more difficulties you encounter.
The first is the issue of food.
For a trip like this, unless the family has a horse-drawn carriage, it is normally impossible to carry too much food on the road.
Because you may be robbed on the road, it is difficult to truly protect yourself.
In short, due to various reasons, everyone was forced to find something to eat along the way.
Obviously, this is not an easy task.
Not to mention normal food, many refugees started digging up grass roots.
People go fishing in the river, pick bird eggs from trees, and even eat small insects in the wasteland.
When people are extremely hungry, how can they care about anything else?
As long as I can survive, nothing else matters!
Qin Yan naturally wouldn't say anything about this. Everyone has the right to live. As long as they don't commit crimes, then the rest will be easy to deal with.
Fortunately, we have a car at Peking University. We took this into consideration before setting off and prepared a lot of dry food in advance.
This may be a little hard at the beginning, but will only bring benefits in the end.
That is to say, there are many of them, and they are all young and strong, so ordinary refugees dare not do anything to them.
Especially when Qin Yan showed off her muscles last time, she not only completely subdued those gangsters, but also completely subdued them.
From then on, the "achievements" of this group of students were spread among the fleeing groups in a small circle.
Some guys who were originally ready to make a move became as quiet as chickens and became much more obedient in an instant.
The team from Kyoto University also sheltered many people, such as some lone refugees, or some teams with more women and children, who subconsciously followed their team.
Professor Bai and others had discussed this matter at the beginning. In short, they would not drive them away, but they would not provide them with assistance either.
It is true that we still have some food now, but we are still a long way from our destination, and no one knows how far we can go.
It's always better to be cautious.
And the most important point is that this hole cannot be opened.
The number of refugees is simply too great.
As long as you help one person, there will be endless troubles afterwards!
Normal people with some experience understand this truth, but there are some naive guys who can't handle it.
There was a female classmate like this.
Even though the professor had repeatedly warned me not to be kind-hearted easily, if I really met someone who was starving to death, I could secretly give them a few bites of food, but I must not let others see me.
However, the classmate named Hou Yuanyuan disagreed and instead felt that the professor, Qin Yan and others were too indifferent.
"Can't you see this lady is almost starving to death? How can you be so heartless?"
"We brought a lot of food. What's wrong with giving them some? They can only eat a few bites."
"..."
No one said anything yet, but this guy started talking first, like a machine gun.
Qin Yan?
Everyone present looked at each other in confusion, as if they had seen a ghost.
But there were still some idiots supporting her, who immediately said, "Yes, what a poor old lady! Professor, didn't you teach us to be helpful?"
Professor Bai: “…” I have something to say, “Mmm,” but I don’t know if I should say it.
Is this a thing?
It would be fine if he was really starving to death, but it’s obviously not the case!
Although the man in front of him didn't have a rosy face, his relatively strong body was far from being as skinny as a stick.
Moreover, this old lady has a fierce look on her face, and her eyes and eyebrows show that she is the kind that is not easy to mess with.
It's just a few crocodile tears to deceive you young people who have never seen the dangers of the world.
There are indeed many poor people at present, but the one in front of me is obviously the kind who is here to get free food and drinks.
Sure enough, when he saw that Qin Yan and others were not fooled, his disguise was exposed.
The triangular-eyed old woman stopped pretending and quickly got up from the ground. She put her hands on her hips, looked stern, and started cursing: "What? You're all educated, and this is all you can do?"
The old lady with triangular eyes glared at him, and her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
He was completely different from the pitiful look just now.
Everyone: "..."
Now, even Hou Yuanyuan, who had been so confident just now, was stunned and looked over with a look of surprise.
The old lady didn't care at all. Instead, she started throwing a tantrum and yelling, "If you don't give me something to eat today, this matter will never end."
"You are so heartless! You don't know how to respect the elderly at all."
"..."
The main scene is crying and throwing a tantrum.
The key point is that this cry attracted a lot of people, including some with green eyes. They all came with a covetous look, as if Jingda and others really had a lot of life-saving food.
After seeing this scene, Qin Yan's face instantly darkened.
It really proves the saying that what you fear will come to you.
Now that’s bad, I’m afraid I can’t leave easily even if I want to.
Look, although many people present didn't throw a tantrum like the old lady, those pitiful or longing eyes made people feel even more distressed.
There was indeed a lot of food stored in Qin Yan's space.
In addition to the food she had stored previously, Qin Yan also started saving secretly after learning that Beijing University was going to relocate.
If we can save all of them, there will be no problem in feeding them for at least ten days or half a month.
The key is, what happens after saving them?
What to do with the remaining time?
This is clearly an unsolvable problem.
The most crucial thing is that once this loophole is opened, believe it or not, countless people will come "to see it because of its reputation". By then, even if there is a Qin Yan, it will be impossible to save everyone.
This was originally an impossible task.
This is also the important reason why Qin Yan did not want to expose these things from the beginning.
It's not that we really don't help, but we must be extra careful, at least to avoid being caught by others.
Otherwise, endless troubles will follow like zombies!
For example, now their team is almost surrounded.
Countless ragged and hungry refugees gathered around.
Those eyes seemed to be glowing green, and it was obvious that these people had no intention of retreating before getting the food.
"Professor, please be kind."
"Please save my child."
"..."
If someone starts kneeling, then the next one will follow, and the third, and the fourth, until it becomes a huge crowd.
If he had just fled from Peking, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
The main reason is that some people even came from the northeast, and they have been through a difficult journey and have already exhausted all their energy.
At this moment, many people have lost all the food they carry with them, let alone the silver and money they need to save their lives.
Even the few pieces of jewelry some women had on them had long since been replaced.
To be honest, seeing such a pitiful look, Qin Yan felt a little bit sorry for him.
Well, since I came here, my heart has really become softer and softer!
[System, do you have any solution? Like, could you give me a task?]
This time, Qin Yan did not follow the principle of "less trouble is more", but took the initiative to ask the system.
You know, among those begging people, there are really many children.
Looking at those pairs of innocent eyes, it was really hard for Qin Yan not to be moved.
After all, it is the adults who make mistakes, so what big mistake can the children make?
[Ding, originally there wasn't one, but after detecting the host's strong desire, I've opened this channel.]
Suddenly, these words popped up in Qin Yan's mind.
Qin Yan?
Good man, who is stronger? I'm just asking.
However, Qin Yan felt a little relieved that she had a mission. As long as these people could still have a chance to survive, the rest was not important.
But Qin Yan still thought things were simple.
In this case, even the system cannot do whatever it wants.
You can't just create a lot of things out of thin air. If you do that, you won't be able to do anything in the future.
After racking her brains, Qin Yan actually came up with a solution.
People need to be saved, points need to be earned, but the vest cannot be dropped.
"Everyone."
Qin Yan squeezed in from the crowd and spoke loudly to drown out the voices of everyone else.
Yes, this standoff has lasted for over an hour.
The teachers, led by Professor Bai, knew very well that no matter how pitiful these people were, they must not contribute their food.
Saving people is a good thing, but if you need to sacrifice yourself to help others, then that is absolutely not allowed!
Whether you say they are selfish or don't know how to make sacrifices, it doesn't matter anymore.
In such an extreme environment, as long as our own people can survive safely, that’s enough!
But those people were willing to give in.
They had finally found an opportunity to get food, so naturally they were reluctant to give it up.
If you look at it from these people's perspective, it's not wrong.
As long as they could survive and their children no longer go hungry, they would give up everything, including face and dignity. Thus, neither side was willing to back down, each fighting for their own interests.
At this time, Qin Yan, who had just disappeared for half an hour, reappeared.
Many people didn't know what she was doing. She probably just wanted to find a place to relieve herself.
Actually, it is not.
At this moment, as she appeared, everyone's eyes fell on her.
For a moment, many emotions such as surprise, confusion, and vigilance were projected over him.
And when they heard what Qin Yan said, they all looked in disbelief, accompanied by ecstasy and eagerness to act.
Because Qin Yan said that she found an acre of sweet potatoes in a pile of thorny grass a mile away.
The mature kind!
"Are you sure you're not lying?"
Some people swallowed subconsciously and couldn't help but ask and confirm.
Qin Yan smiled and pointed in the northwest direction and said, "It's not far anyway. You can go and take a look, and you'll know."
These words seemed to open up everyone's Ren and Du meridians, and they nodded repeatedly in an instant, saying, "Yes."
This thing doesn't look like anything else, or maybe it doesn't exist, so just run over and take a look.
When the first person had this idea, he immediately ran there.
Then came the second, then the third.
As more and more people realized this, they all rushed over in a hurry.
The further behind the person is, the faster they run, for fear that if they run too slowly, the sweet potatoes will be dug up by the person in front.
The students from Kyoto University also looked at each other in confusion.
Someone came back to their senses and immediately gave Qin Yan a thumbs up: "Amazing! Why didn't I think of using such an excuse to trick them away?"
"That's right, but we should leave quickly, otherwise those people will come back to settle accounts with us!"
"Correct!"
"..."
Qin Yan listened to their words, and her mood was a little complicated for a moment. Then she said helplessly: "Well, I really found a sweet potato field..."
Well, this is half true and half false, of course there is some system cheating involved.
In order to meet the previous conditions, Qin Yan finally came up with this method with great difficulty.
This not only resolved the crisis for the students, but also provided food to the hungry people, which was the best of both worlds.
The most amazing thing is that the wild sweet potatoes were discovered by chance. They had been growing in the thorn bushes. In addition, there had been a war here before, and many people died, and many people fled.
It makes perfect sense to find food in a place like this.
Once the excavation is completed, no one will be concerned about it anymore, which perfectly solves any problems that may arise later.
Awesome~
Now the students were shocked, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
It’s not that wild sweet potatoes are surprising, but that they can be found in such a place and such an environment that is truly curious.
This place is also a must-pass place for escape. It can be said that countless people have walked back and forth here, and they almost want to dig up the weeds.
In this situation, she was able to find something to eat. This shows that Qin Yan had good eyesight and was lucky enough.
"Sir, should we go dig some too?"
A student couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
