"The bandits have left too deep a mark on everyone's hearts... I want the arrows to fly for a little longer..."
Qing Mulan repeated what Jin Feng said, but couldn't figure out what it meant.
Since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't bother to think anymore, and directly pulled Jin Feng and asked: "Sir, don't beat around the bush, just tell me directly, we obviously have the ability to destroy the bandits but don't do it, sir, what are you doing?
what do you want?"
"The human heart."
Jin Feng looked up at the sky and said calmly.
"People's hearts?" Qing Mulan was even more confused: "What do you mean?"
"You will know later."
Jin Feng smiled and re-entered the iron smelting workshop.
Although he knew that the probability of a direct attack from bandits was very small, human life was at stake and everything must be done absolutely.
There are still some tasks that have not been completed. Where can I have time to chat with Qing Mulan?
Soon, a clanging sound came from the workshop.
Qing Mulan wanted to sneak into the iron smelting workshop to see what Jin Feng was busy with, but was stopped by Tieniu, so she could only leave angrily and continue training with the female soldiers.
Zhang Liang and the veterans were about to return to the back mountain, but they saw Mancang coming out.
"Mancang, do you want something?"
Zhang Liang asked: "Go in and help Xiaofeng. Tell me what you want and I'll go to the warehouse to get it for you."
"No, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. My husband asked me to go back and rest." Mancang said.
Everyone in the village of Xihewan knew that Mancang had learned great skills from Jin Feng, and the Zhang family regarded Mancang as the hope for the prosperity of the Zhang family.
As soon as he heard that Mancang was not feeling well, Zhang Liang became anxious:
"You feel uncomfortable, then go back and rest quickly. Tell your sister-in-law what you want to eat and let her cook it for you."
"good."
Mancang agreed and walked out of the smelting plant.
After the bandits left, the villagers came out of their houses and gathered in groups to discuss what the bandits were looking for Jin Feng for.
There were very few participants at that time. When they asked the veterans, no one answered them, and when they asked the village chief, they didn't say anything. They couldn't get into the iron smelting workshop to find Jin Feng, so they could only worry.
But soon, they found a breakthrough from Mancang Lao Niang.
Mancang's wife refused to tell her at first, but she couldn't stand the stalking of the third aunt and her group, so she still told the bandit's request.
Now the whole village is in a panic.
"Brother Feng obviously made the spinning wheel. If they want to rob it, just forget it. If they don't let Brother Feng use it in the future, is there any justice in this?"
"The textile factory is no longer allowed to work, and the brick kilns and iron stoves are also taken over by Brother Feng. Where will we go to earn wages in the future? How will we live our lives? The bandits are forcing us to die!"
"Are you still thinking about making money? Think about how to save your life first!"
"Wei Laoer, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Brother Feng just led the veterans to beat the bandits to a bloody pulp. With the bandits' temperament, they will definitely not let it go. They might come to cause trouble for us tomorrow!"
"Brother Feng beat them, why should they cause trouble for us?"
"Will the bandits reason with you?"
"Yes, Brother Feng is too reckless. If you don't agree, just don't agree. Why are you beating bandits? Isn't this going to hurt us?"
"Brother Feng is a capable person. He has made a lot of money in the past few months. The bandits came over. Brother Feng escaped from the back mountain with the protection of the men in the back mountain. He could find someone who could not be found by the bandits.
In this place, people can still open factories and become rich."
"Oh, Brother Feng, didn't you trick us?"
"Who says it isn't?"
…
At first, the villagers cursed the bandits, but gradually, everyone began to blame Jin Feng for being too reckless and causing trouble and provoking the bandits.
In just half an hour, the atmosphere of fear began to spread in the village, and even spread to Guanjiawan next door.
All the villagers subconsciously avoided Jin Feng, Guan Xiaorou and others, fearing that when the bandits came to trouble Jin Feng, they would be harmed.
The villagers who had been visiting Jin Feng's home and textile factory when they had nothing to do in the past few days suddenly disappeared.
When Qing Mulan came back for dinner with the female soldiers, she found that the textile factory was deserted. She pulled Tang Dongdong strangely and asked what happened.
After learning about the villagers' reaction, Qing Mulan couldn't help but think of what Jin Feng had said before.
"Perhaps, this is the kind of people Sir wants..."
Qing Mulan vaguely understood: "I hope these guys in Xihewan make the right choice, otherwise I'm afraid sir will be sad."
In fact, Jin Feng asked Mancang to spread the news because he really wanted to see the villagers' reaction.
If the villagers are only willing to enjoy the benefits brought by the textile factory and kiln factory, but are not willing to share the risks, or even take the initiative to betray Jin Feng, then Jin Feng will take his family and leave Xihewan after killing the bandits.
If the villagers are willing to fight with him against the bandits, then Jin Feng will continue to stay and vigorously develop Xihewan.
In fact, the human heart cannot withstand temptation, especially when it comes to life and death. The results of the temptation are likely to be disappointing.
But Jin Feng had to do this.
Xihewan can be said to be his base camp. No matter what he does in the future, his backyard must be stable.
He didn't want to go to all the trouble and end up cultivating a group of white-eyed wolves.
The ship was in danger of turning around, and now everything has just begun. If Xihewan fails, Jin Feng can still find another place to stop the loss in time.
If you wait until it becomes bigger in the future, it will be difficult to make changes.
On the other side, the little leader and several bandits also returned to Iron Can Mountain.
As soon as he entered the village, he was stopped by the bandits guarding the gate: "Brother Shuanzi, the boss said that you should go to Juyi Hall to find him when you come back."
"knew."
Shuanzi did not dare to neglect, handed the knife to his companion, turned around and ran towards the center of the village.
In the Juyi Hall, Liu Jiang, the head of Tiegun Mountain, and his second head were sitting on chairs to discuss matters. When they saw Shuanzi coming in, they both frowned at the same time.
Because they all saw the scars on Shuanzi's face.
"Shuanzi, what's going on?"
Liu Jiang asked with squinted eyes.
No matter how afraid he was of losing face, Shuanzi didn't dare to deceive the boss, so he immediately told the story of going to Xihewan in detail.
"This Jin Feng is too arrogant and shameless!"
The second boss slapped the table and shouted: "Brother, give me fifty people, and I will go to Xihewan to catch this kid and tell him how many bones he has. How dare he challenge our Iron Can Mountain like this!"
"Second brother, don't be impulsive!"
Liu Jiang looked at the little boss: "Shuanzi, I know you feel aggrieved, but this matter is not trivial. If I know that you deliberately fanned the flames to deceive me, you should know the consequences!"
"Master, even if you kill me, I won't dare lie to you!"
The little boss knelt down on the ground: "I promise that every sentence is true, and everything is the truth!"
"Okay, you go down,"
Liu Jiang threw a wooden sign: "Go to Lao Yan to get a copper coin, which will be used as your running expenses. Then go to Lao Gui to pick two women for you to use for half a month."
