Chapter 274 He thought he was a laborer
They quietly killed one person, then took his place, and placed the body in the snow behind them.
The people in front didn't notice at all until the person at the very front said, "Okay, okay, everyone stop for a bit and take a break."
They then stopped, and immediately soldiers came over with water bottles to give them water. Gu Zhan took the water bottle and had just put it to his lips when he smelled alcohol.
Then someone next to him said, "Oh dear, Xiao Shuanzi, I forgot again. With your tendency to get drunk easily, you definitely can't drink this. I'll ask the captain to get you some water..."
As he spoke, the other person snatched the water bottle from Gu Zhan's hand and walked forward with both water bottles in hand.
Lin Long nudged Gu Zhan with his elbow: "There's something in the wine. It'll make them super excited. These people probably haven't had a break in days."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan recalled the face he had just seen; he had dealt with someone and ripped off their hat.
When he pulled off the man's hat, he saw the man's pale and tired face. He thought he was seeing things, but he didn't expect that the man really hadn't slept for several days.
He pulled the other man's hat off and put it on his own head, leaving nothing exposed except for his eyes.
The reason why the people around me didn't recognize me was because of this.
Lin Long said there was medicine inside, so he took it in his hand but didn't drink it. Just as he put the lid back on, someone came over.
"Da Niu, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you drinking it? Let me tell you, if you don't drink it, you'll run out of energy and no one will help you!"
The "Big Ox" was clearly being addressed to Lin Long, who was a little taken aback upon hearing the address.
Then he was patted on the shoulder: "You little rascal, Zhang Daniu, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
"I'm telling you to drink it quickly, otherwise you won't be able to hold on any longer, and no one will help you."
The other person spoke the last part in a low voice, as if afraid that others would hear it, and then patted Lin Long on the shoulder.
After Gu Zhan and Lin Long left, the two of them looked at the water pouch in their hands.
The person who went to fetch water returned just as they were about to continue their journey. When he returned, he was limping, and it seemed he was injured.
Adhering to the idea that less talk means less mistakes, and nothing to say means no mistakes, Gu Zhan did not ask him what was wrong. However, after walking for a while, the other party suddenly collapsed.
Then someone shouted, "He's fainted! He's fainted! The captain has fainted!"
Immediately afterwards, a voice came from ahead: "If you're dizzy, you're dizzy. What are you yelling about? Hurry up and get going."
The people in front seemed unwilling to care about those behind them. After hearing that someone had fainted, they scolded them a couple of times and then ignored them.
They continued pushing the cart forward, and the person who had fainted lay in the snow, with no one helping or supporting him.
Gu Zhan frowned, then casually finished off one of the men.
But as fewer and fewer people followed, they were bound to reveal their weaknesses. He and Lin Long exchanged a glance, and then they picked off the remaining people one by one, as cleanly and efficiently as picking tomatoes.
Lin Bao and his men were behind them. They dragged those people into the pit and buried them all in the snow.
The one who had fainted was tied to a tree with strips of cloth. After Gu Zhan and the others finished dealing with that, the group looked at the cars and felt a bit worried.
"There are only five of us, and there are at least ten cars here. Are we going to each take two?"
Lin Bao quickly shook his head. He didn't have that kind of ability. Besides, the cart was loaded with grain. If even one of the carts broke, who knows how much would be wasted.
Upon hearing this, Lin Hu looked at Lin Bao and said, "Are you an idiot?"
"Two vehicles per person? How did you even come up with that? It's such a heavy thing, and it would take them three or four people to move it. We'd have to carry two vehicles by ourselves. You can do it, but I can't."
Being called an idiot, even by his own brother, was unbearable for Lin Bao: "I'm just asking you a question, not telling you to do that. Can't you listen to me and understand?"
He rolled his eyes as he said this, which made Lin Hu want to fight him!
As the two argued, Gu Zhan looked around. After a while, the two stopped arguing because they heard someone approaching.
The group exchanged glances, but Gu Zhan remained completely unresponsive. When they saw the people who had come over reporting the situation to Gu Zhan, they realized that they were all people he had arranged.
Lin Hu walked over and patted Gu Zhan on the shoulder: "Not bad, brother. You actually have so many men under your command. Since you have so many men, why did you call us brothers over?"
"It's inconvenient for them to show their faces; they can't do this."
Hearing this, Lin Hu raised an eyebrow: "So you mean we should do this, that we're the most suitable people to do it?"
Although Gu Zhan did not give a clear answer, his silence spoke volumes, and Lin Hu patted him on the shoulder again.
"Great job, bro! You really can do it, you're awesome, really good!"
As Lin Hu spoke, he released him, then went over and grabbed Lin Bao, who was playing in the snow, lifted him up and carried him to the other side. Immediately afterwards, howls came from the area between the two of them.
As expected, those with sharp minds are probably not good people. Take this guy in front of us, for example. After the matter was settled, Gu Zhan didn't let Gu Bei and the others take all the grain with them.
They left a carload for the three brothers, and Scarface, who had also come to help, received a bag as well. When he heard about the distribution, he wondered if he was hallucinating.
When I first arrived, I thought I was just brought here to be a laborer, but I never expected that I would have a part in it now.
Just as they were about to leave, they heard rustling sounds, indicating that someone else was coming.
The three Lin brothers looked at Gu Zhan with expressions that seemed to ask: Just how many people know about this?
Gu Zhan shook his head slightly. The group of people took sacks and hid. Fortunately, the snowdrifts here were high enough for them to hide.
On the other side, when Zhao Li led his men over, the snow was too thick for them to ride horses, so he had to dismount and walk.
But after walking for a short while, his pants and shoes were completely soaked, and his feet were so cold that he could barely feel them.
At this moment, there was nothing he could do but keep walking forward. Hearing the sounds behind him, Zhao Li became extremely irritated.
"Haven't you eaten yet? Don't you even know? Hurry up!"
"If someone beats you to it, then you won't need to come and serve me anymore when you get back."
