The village chief waited for a long time and finally when all the corpses in the village were buried, he summoned everyone to the ancestral hall and held a meeting.
When the village chief mentioned the seriousness of the matter and the fact that the thieves' accomplices were in the next county, the whole episode was in an uproar, "Then, shall we abandon the village? Our family has lived here for generations, and I don't want to, and I won't leave."
"Most of the people in this village have lived here for generations, so you can't bear to part with them. But when the thieves come, the lives of the whole village are decided here. Which is more important, the ancestors or our lives?"
Comparing the two, you will know what to choose, but there are always some people who do not believe in evil, "Village chief, we are not going away, we will hide in the mountains again, and we can come out after the thieves are gone. Besides, isn't the King Orion very good?"
If he can fight, just let him kill the person."
The village chief was speechless, "Do you know how selfish you are? Not to mention whether Jing Orion can kill all the thieves, how can you have the nerve to let Jing Orion face so many thieves alone? Besides, who can do it with one person?"
There are hundreds of enemies, and if you don't want to go, Jing Orion can also refuse, or if you want, you can defeat me and I will give you the position of village chief, and I will listen to you from now on."
As soon as the village chief retorted, these people shut up, but the village chief didn't care about these selfish people, whether they wanted to leave or not. He would have to listen to their complaints when they were all tired halfway through.
He may not keep these people secret, but the remaining villagers are still very simple. In addition, due to the incident on the mountain, although they are reluctant to leave their home, they are still willing to follow the village chief.
Although the village chief's words were harsh, he didn't really just ignore them. Furthermore, he couldn't directly make decisions for the villagers. He could only make the strong relationship clear, "This time the whole village left, not only
It's because of the thieves. The thieves are just an opportunity. The main reason is that it doesn't rain in this land. We can't grow crops. We can't continue to live here without food. Some of you didn't buy food. I don't know. Now the food outside has risen.
What happened."
Yang Jin just came back from the city and quickly added: "Now the food in the city has been sold for one tael of silver per catty."
Listen, one tael of silver per pound of grain, is this something the common people can afford?
The village chief said earnestly: "You have heard it, one tael of silver per pound of grain, how can we have so much money to make it? If we stay here any longer, we will all have to wait to die."
"But is it okay to leave? Where can we go? Will there be no drought elsewhere? Is there food elsewhere? Can we afford the food there? Village chief, can you guarantee that we can
Will you survive until then?"
"I can't." The village chief said firmly: "But at least we can't wait to die where we are. If no thieves came to the village, we would have been able to eat until the end of the year by guarding the remaining food, and even if there was more food, we could have eaten it.
In the middle of the year, the authorities may release food to help us, but after that, we will have no food ourselves, and the food for relief will be gone. Should we go out again at this time? Then it will be really difficult to move forward."
"Just now Orion and Yang Xiucai have gone to investigate. As I said, the thief's accomplices don't know that the thief is dead. In addition, due to the distance, it will take two days to reach our village, but they are riding horses, so we can only
You can walk, so I will give you one night to think it over carefully. If you are willing to leave with me, we will gather at the entrance of the village early tomorrow morning. If you are willing to stay in the village, I will not force you. I also hope that you can live safely.
"
The villagers started talking privately again, but unexpectedly a sudden voice sounded, "If you want to leave, you go. If I don't leave, I will stay here. Wenwan, if you want to leave, you will take the children away. I will take care of you."
Can’t reach them.”
The person who spoke was Qian Daxing. After Qian Daxing finished what he wanted to say, he turned around and left. But after he left, someone in the crowd began to whisper, "Qian Daxing seemed to be nearby when he was digging the grave just now."
I also dug an empty spot, and from the size of it, it seems to be reserved for him, so he doesn't want to bury himself alive."
"I don't know whether he will be buried alive or not. Anyway, Qian Daxing wants to be with his first wife and her children."
"Since I can't forget Aunt Qian, why did I harm other girls? Now I don't care about the three children. Is she the one who takes care of the children?"
"Aunt Qian was still there when Qian Daxing harmed the girl."
"That's retribution for Qian Daxing. Don't pity him, but Wenwan is not a good thing. She really just threw those three children on the mountain. It seems that the Li family took the children back in the end, taking all three with them.
Went back."
"The Li family took them with them. If the Li family's wife can't give birth to a child, it's not impossible to take her back and raise her. Then two of the three children are sons. The Li family has made a profit this time."
"Who says it's not the case? You don't have to have three children by yourself."
Li family?
Wen Xin, who was walking in the crowd, heard the news and asked in confusion, "Li family, which Li family?"
Wen Yu really didn't know about this until he saw it. There were many households named Li in their village, but he was somewhat impressed by the one that couldn't give birth to children. "It should be that family, that family seems quite simple."
of."
They didn't know whether the Li family was simple or not. Wen Hou felt uncomfortable now, "Do we really not care about those three children? Are we just going to hand them over to others like this?"
"Well, what else? We are just running for our lives. Besides, you can take care of the children?" Wen Jin hated Wen Wan's children. When the three children were lying on the ground, he came to them without even looking at them.
She held her next to her and looked around, lest she get even the slightest bit injured.
"But if the Li family wants this child, shouldn't we make it clear? We can't just keep it with someone else without knowing it."
Wen Wen smiled and said: "Brother, you really know how to worry. This family should come to us to talk about this kind of thing. Okay, have you packed your luggage? No matter whether others leave or not, our family is going to leave anyway."
"
Their donkey cart can fit the whole family into it after putting their luggage on it. It is much easier than walking, but you can't tire the donkey like this. One or two days is fine, but the donkey will also suffer after a long time.
No, so except for Wen Wan, Grandpa Wen and a few children at home, everyone else still walked or took turns sitting.
Yes, Wen Wan was unwilling to take a step away. She had already reserved a seat with the Wen family before her luggage was packed. Wen Wan had already sat down, so she had to let Grandpa Wen sit. After all, he was still an old man, so
These two people must have settled down, and the remaining children were so energetic that they didn't need to worry about falling while sitting and walking at the same time.
