Chapter 260 (2/2)

After distributing all the food, they realised it was indeed not enough for everyone. Since only a handful of them lacked food, they didn’t make a fuss out of it- they didn’t want to make a scene either.

As long as someone was willing to share some extra food, followed by another, then it definitely would be enough!

The reason why they were all so united was also that Ye Lang gave them hope. Ye Lang promised to take them to the next city to buy food.

They had been to some cities before, but those cities would not give them food, and worse, barred them from entry. After all, they were a huge crowd and the citizens of any city would be afraid of letting them in.

But, what if someone was willing to purchase food for their sake? Things would be different, they’d be allowed in!

This was also why during every disaster relief, not only food was donated, money was also included in the donations. There were those who weren’t willing to contribute resources, hence they would only do whatever they could- at least in a way that wouldn’t affect their lives.

Every bit counted!

And at this moment, money was needed to exchange for resources…

“Sir, what are you waiting for?”

Now, everyone was ready to head for the next city, and they had been waiting for a long time, but they still couldn’t see Ye Lang moving an inch. They could only wait patiently.

Ye Lang was like a god to them now. Even if they weren’t willing to wait, they had to. Even worse, they wouldn’t want to offend Ye Lang, so they could only wait quietly.

This made the whole scene queer, and on the other side, the convoy of carriages which robbed previously had escaped secretly with the injured men, as if running for their lives.

Anyone would’ve run for their lives after witnessing what they did. Only Ye Lang would stay.

“Where’s my carriage, why is it still not back yet?” Ye Lang looked behind him while stating his reason. He figured the carriage would return for him.

“...” Everyone was silent. They knew, the carriage definitely wasn’t going to be back. Although it was partly their fault, and they felt a bit embarrassed, this was a fact that couldn’t be undone.

“Sir, the carriage isn’t coming back…” said the skinny dark man faintly in his hoarse voice.

“Why not? I only told him to go ahead, but I didn’t say he didn’t need to come back... If he’s not coming back, how am I going to Sheng City?” said Ye Lang stupidly.

It turned out that Ye Lang didn’t mean to stay back on his own, but only intended to stay for a while to distribute food and some money. He still had to depend on the carriage to get to Sheng City.

He believed that although the carriage went on without him first, the coachman would still be back for him instead of ditching him like this!

Of course, this was only him with his gullible thoughts that things should be like this. Under these circumstances, once the carriage left, it definitely wasn't going to return!!

“Sir, we scared him away... Any ordinary person would run from what just happened, but you…” said the skinny dark man, while looking at Ye Lang. He didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
