Chapter 68 People in troubled times are not as good as dogs in prosperous times
Mengcun is not like Guancun in planning demolition, and there are still more people living in the village.
However, with the rapid economic development in recent years, most of the young people in the village have gone to work in the city.
Therefore, there are not many young people among these people. Mainly middle-aged, accounting for more than half.
There are also nearly half of the elderly in the village.
Generally speaking, the elderly in the village live in bungalows after separation, and the security is low. But when the energy exploded, they were basically taken to their homes by their children or neighbors.
This is also good in the countryside, if there is something at home, relatives and neighbors can help out.
There are a lot of old people, and Guan Xi doesn't care.
After the energy exploded, even if it was an ancient old man, his body had strengthened to the physical strength of his youth. Even if they can't fight, they have enough life experience and are the most able to endure hardships and stand hard work.
On the contrary, these old people have been of great help to the development of the gathering place.
Finally, there are still some left-behind children, but fortunately, there are not many of them.
After all these years of family planning, normal families are only children. If the parents have the conditions, most of the children will be with them.
"Uncle Meng, it seems that there are so many people in the village, let's go back and pick up people!"
The door of the last house was smashed, and the house was in shambles, with blackened blood stains still on the ground. Guan Xi sighed, turned back to Meng Tiansheng and said.
Meng Tiansheng was also very depressed, and replied with a low expression: "Hey, this is Zhang Shuping's family, he is quite good, he is willing to work, and he has a lot of chickens and ducks at home." ”
didn't respond to Guan Xi's words, he seemed to be talking to himself again.
Along the way, Zhang Shuping's family is like this, and it is not the first time they have met him.
Listening to Meng Tiansheng's words, Guan Xi shook his head. Seeing that he was not in a high mood, he didn't say anything more.
It can only be said that the old saying is right, people in troubled times are not as good as dogs in prosperous times.
He didn't speak, but Meng Tiansheng said to himself: "Actually, I have calculated, and I have a number in my heart."
There are nearly 700 people in our village, and there are about 500 people in the village, excluding the more than 100 people who go out to work and go to school.
At the moment, we only have more than 300 people, this, this ......"
At this point, his voice trembled slightly, and he couldn't say any more.
Guan Xi helped him add unfinished words in his heart.
In other words, after the energy burst, there were nearly two hundred victims in Mengcun. ”
200, individually, is not a big number.
But when it comes to the comparison of the population of Mengcun, this is a terrifying number.
200 people, which simply accounts for the entire population of the village, nearly one-third of the ratio.
As a villager in the village, Meng Tiansheng is very familiar with every family from birth to the present.
The impact on him can be imagined.
Guan Xi sighed again in his heart, not knowing what to say.
Originally, he had heard Zhao Chenggang say it as early as when he was in the Jinting Mountain Domain.
Even if it was a village near their Shili Mountain, it was not uncommon for the Zhao family to rescue them as soon as possible.
It's a pity that the picture in the face of facts, the description of language, is always too pale.
The impact he received today was also not small.
Moreover, he also found that the most common victims are humans who have a large number of poultry at home.
When it comes to having cats and dogs, few people suffer.
Judging from the situation, the attitude of cats and dogs towards humans should be the mildest of all protozoars.
After being silent for a while, in the end, Guan Xi reluctantly comforted Meng Tiansheng.
Fortunately, the energy exploded, and people like Meng Tiansheng who survived, after seeing death and blood, resisted pressure much stronger than before.
Meng Tiansheng somewhat packed up his emotions.
After one last glance at the messy house, the two finally began their journey back.
Mengcun is different from Guancun in that it is built in the form of a growing snake, and there is a distance from the head of the village to the end of the village.
Before coming, the two discussed a plan to search for people.
They first confirmed the number of survivors one by one, and then went to the door to communicate. When you turn around, you can bring it all back at once.
In this way, they will save the safety of ordinary people when they are looking for people.
In a few moments, they knocked on the door of the penultimate house.
In the surprised eyes of the head of the household, several people did not greet each other and quickly entered the house.
Meng Tiansheng briefly told them the bad news of Zhang Shuping's family.
In the embarrassed expression of the family, with a hint of trepidation, they quickly packed their luggage and followed Guan Xi and the two out of the door.
When Meng Tiansheng came, he had already communicated with all the surviving villagers, informed them of the situation, and his plans.
But in this case, he played a slippery head.
When each family talked, he said that the people in front of him agreed to go together.
It's that everyone has a herd nature, and when they hear that the neighbors in the village are going to move away, how can the parties have time to think too much.
Especially at this time of danger.
Although everyone was worried and frightened about crossing the giant tree forest, they finally agreed.
Among them, in fact, there are also factors driven by the tragedy of acquaintances in the same village and the murder of the whole family.
On the way back, as the four people of Zhang Lao's three families walked out of the door, within a while, the number of people in the team became larger and larger.
Even the people in the back, without entering the door, consciously packed their bags.
Fortunately, on the way here, Guan Xi killed many fierce beasts near the village. This not only makes the group less of a threat of ferocious beasts, but also adds a lot of meat.
Beast meat contains a lot of energy, which is just right for these people whose physique has been strengthened to consume before departure.
Soon, under the conscious acceleration of everyone, in less than half an hour, 367 people, all of whom were safely brought to Meng Tiansheng's house.
plus the 26 people in Meng Tiansheng's family, a total of 395 people.
Among these 395 people, in addition to Meng Tiansheng's 5 people who are officially cultivating, there are also 20 new cultivators.
These people all killed fierce beasts, or primordial beasts, at a critical juncture. Relying on those energies and meat, I started my cultivation.
But later, none of them dared to walk out the door.
The main thing is that the family has food to eat.
Among them, there are two families, all of whom have started to cultivate.
The fact that these two families were able to cultivate smoothly was not because of how strong their courage was, but because of the dogs they raised.
There is a family that also raises two heads.
The 3 earth dogs, because of the number of years they have been raised, have been human, and after the energy explosion has been strengthened, they have not left.
In the days that followed, the giant dog continued to go outside, bringing back the meat of the beast for the owner's family to eat.
Sometimes, dogs are more loyal than people.
With these three giant dogs, Guan Xi's certainty of bringing these people back safely is even greater.
......
After arriving at Meng Tiansheng's house, seeing that Guan Xi's strength was really strong and terrifying, and there were 3 giant dogs who looked scared, but were actually very docile, and the group of people were much calmer.
The corpses of more than a dozen fierce beasts were unloaded, and under Meng Tiansheng's arrangement, a group of women excitedly began to divide the pot.
The others were fine, and finally began to chatter enthusiastically.
"Second Brother Meng, thank you so much this time, if it weren't for you and Brother Guan, our family didn't know what to do. ”
"yes, yes, I don't have much rations left in my family. Speaking of which, Brother Guan is really strong, killing those terrifying beasts is like chopping melons and vegetables. ”
"I heard Brother Guan say that now there is even a wall on the side of Guancun. After that, I can finally come out and hang out without anything, and I'm going crazy these days. ”
"Also, Brother Guan is so strong, it is estimated that when he goes to Guan Village, it will be no problem to eat the meat of the fierce beast all of a sudden. ”
"I heard that there is also a sycamore tree that has become a fine tree, which is more powerful than Dahei, and will protect people. ”
......
Seeing that everyone was relaxed, Meng Tiansheng also chatted happily with everyone. By the way, he also informed everyone of the arrangements after entering the giant tree forest.
These were discussed by Guan Xi with him.
Having had an escort experience, Guan Xi only knew a little.
After entering the Giant Tree Forest, no matter what happens, don't run around. Otherwise, ordinary people are left alone in the giant tree forest, and there is only one dead word.
And men are naturally more courageous than women.
After entering the forest, the men of the village will be arranged around the procession, including the old and weak, women and children.
Guan Xi would be at the front of the team at that time, and Meng Tiansheng and the newly added twenty or so first-order cultivators would fall behind to protect him.
There are also 3 giant dogs, and two will be arranged in the back at that time, and one will follow Guan Xi to explore the way.
A group of people nodded their heads when they heard it, and no one objected, let alone a man raised an objection.
Even if they didn't even dare to go out before, they dared to protect even weaker women and children in the dangerous and mysterious giant tree forest.
Human beings are like that, they are social creatures, and they are also creatures that can do whatever they want.
For example, in most cases, there is no shortage of people who dare to risk their lives and act bravely.
After the energy exploded, although they were frightened, they did not dare to fight and kill the fierce beast.
It's just that they are all ordinary people, and they can't be easily transformed.
