Chapter 143, the saber rattling is desperate, and 3 buckets of food are sent to the victims
"Okay, don't scold the big guys, the most important thing at the moment is to discuss how much food to give?" Lao Cunzheng was also suspicious of Li Dalang in his heart, there were only a few people in this village who could go into the mountains to hunt, and there were few people with bows at home, but he just asked his eldest son, these people were at the entrance of the village at that time, and no one entered the village. He couldn't figure it out either. Seeing that time was running out, he hurriedly shouted and asked everyone to stop fighting.
"Yes, I totaled, and the family will give a bucket of black noodles, which is not much compared to this harvest. If you think it's okay, I'll go and talk to them. Muramasa felt that his father was right, this person was looking for him, but for now, he had to send these victims away first.
"I disagree. My family has the least harvest, I give a pound at most, and Li Dalang's family has the most, so if you want to take it, it should be his family who takes more? Li Sanzhu was the first to object, their family finally collected so much grain this time, seeing that the county was in chaos, maybe he didn't have to pay taxes this year, he had never seen so much grain when he was so old, how could he be willing to take it out. What's more, he remembered that Li Dalang's family collected the most in the entire village this time, and it should be Li Dalang who gave a few more.
"Li Sanzhu, what are you talking nonsense? This is the whole village's business, why don't you give it, it's okay, then let the victims go to your house to rob it, and we won't stop it! "Li Aniu has received a lot of benefits from Situ Yan, how can he let Li Sanzhu trouble Li Dalang.
"Yes, if it weren't for a few Dalang, I would have been killed just now, Li Sanzhu, you are squirting feces all over your mouth, shouting nonsense, I should have let those victims rob your family, we don't have to give it at all!" Li Si also followed to help.
In fact, when Li Sanzhu said those words just now, there were really a few families in the village who were moved, but they were frightened by Li Aniu and Li Si's words, and they didn't dare to speak out.
Situ Yan has been watching coldly, she is not afraid, even if all these victims rush to her house, she will not stop her, because her family has nothing, and she is not afraid of robbing at all. And she took this opportunity to keep all those who had different intentions in mind.
"Okay, Li Sanzhu, this is the decision of the village, not just you say not to give it. If you don't want to stay in the village, you can go, and I won't stop you? Instead of keeping Li Sanzhu's family, he would rather protect Situ Yan and Li Dalang, at least the whole village can survive.
Li Sanzhu dared to squeak again, took two steps back, and shrank back into the crowd.
Seeing that no one objected, the village made a decision, walked back to the entrance of the village, and told the decision.
"Li Cunzheng, you should be called Huazi, a family of one bucket, that is only ten catties, you Li family village is afraid that there are not even forty households, we have more than forty households in one village, these two villages combined, a family can't even share a few catties of grain, we still have a lot of injured, for a while and a half can't even get out of the door, if you don't give a family of five buckets, we don't do it."
"Yes, if we don't give it, we'll rob it."
"What are you talking about? In these ten miles and eight villages, who doesn't know that we are a notoriously poor village, if every family takes fifty catties of grain, they will be richer than other villages, and they can only use these few families, can they still let you bully the door? ”
"Li Cunzheng, don't fight with me so sloppy, we are going to make a decision today, let's go into the village to grab it if we don't give a fight!"
"Don't give it, damn it, I'll fight with you!" The villagers of Lijia Village were angry with these victims, glaring and shouting to fight these people.
Situ Yan was also anxious, but if she helped, she was afraid that the village would suspect her at once, but if she didn't help, she would see that she would fight again. And she didn't want to let the four brothers of the Li family get hurt again, but she couldn't think of a good way to let her come up with a good way at this moment.
"Little Wu, what can I do?" San Lang stood beside Situ Yan and stomped his feet anxiously.
Situ Yan's mind turned quickly, and first calculated the conditions for the victory or defeat of the battle between the two sides, if she and the four brothers of the Li family went all out, plus the villagers in the village who could fight again, all fought for their lives, then the Li family village still had a chance to win, but then she would be exposed in front of everyone, and it would be difficult to hide it.
But if they are given food, they will come again once they run out of food. And there will be more victims who will get the letter and know that there is food in this Lijia Village, and then Lijia Village will be destroyed. Even if you don't get robbed at this moment, you will definitely be robbed in a few days.
Of course, the best way is to be able to "surrender without a fight", but in the current situation, how can we do it? She just couldn't think of it.
In fact, if Situ Yan didn't think about the villagers, as long as she protected their own family, she could let the victims grab it casually, anyway, the house was empty, these people had enough trouble, and they couldn't grab things, so they would naturally leave.
Since he couldn't think of an idea for a while, he had to tell Li Dalang a few in a suppressed voice, "Brothers, remember, if you really fight for a while, don't fight hard, and run to the Great Wilderness Mountain." Nothing matters! ”
"Xiao Wu, you take the second child and them into the mountains, and I go home to guard the grain, I don't believe that I can't beat them?" Where is Li Dalang willing to run, if the food at home is robbed, what will the little sister and younger brothers eat, but he has heard from these disaster victims, and even the grain shops in Xinchang County have been robbed and have no food.
Situ Yan not only had a bitter feeling in her mouth, there was no food at home, so she still had to guard something, but she couldn't tell Li Dalang clearly, so she had to keep a straight face, pretend to be angry, and insist on forcing Li Dalang to run with them.
The small dispute between the brothers and sisters here is only temporary, and the villagers and the victims are both angry, shouting one by one, they have long wanted to do it, and the confrontation between the two sides is about to break out.
Situ Yan didn't fight with Li Dalang, although she didn't come up with a good idea, she still had a way to stabilize the victims first, and hurriedly asked San Lang to call Lao Murazheng. Lao Cun was pulled by San Lang, his heart moved, thinking that the girl must have an idea, so he hurriedly signaled to his eldest son, and persuaded him first, so he followed San Lang to find Situ Yan.
"Fifth grandfather, I don't have a better idea at this time, tell them first, they want too much, we can't make it up right now, first boil some paste for them, let them eat first, these people can be less angry, give us more hours!"
Lao Cun was stunned, he didn't know what Situ Yan meant, but he didn't have a better idea at the moment, at least this idea could reassure the people first, and they could discuss it later.
nodded, squeezed to the front again, and shouted loudly, "Tuba's, I am the old village leader of this Lijia Village, you want too much at once, there are so many people in the village, and not every family can take it, so let's boil some paste for you first, you eat first, so that we can think of something for you to make up." ”
When the victims heard that there was food, they were first overjoyed, thinking that what the old village of Lijia Village was saying was also reasonable, that is, when their own village was in good times, their families would not store so much food.
Most of the people agreed, and the two village leaders couldn't stop it anymore, so they had to nod and agree, since this idea was Situ Yan's idea, of course, this black face came out of her family. The people in the village didn't have any opinions, so they just didn't let them give food anyway.
This matter finally eased up for the time being, so that Situ Yan could have time to think about a good way. Aunt Fu asked a few aunts who had a better relationship in the village to help her boil the paste for the victims, and Situ Yan rushed home to the inverted seat room first, and put the black face in the ring back into the inverted seat room.
Li Dalang didn't count how many bags of grain were in the house when he entered the upside-down room, and first took ten catties of black noodles and gave them to Muramasa.
"Girl, do you have any good ideas, I can't think of any way at this time?" The village is sighing, although these people are not breaking through at the moment, but they have eaten mush, if they can't get any more food, these people will still enter the village, every family in this village has a lot of food, if they are really robbed, they will starve, maybe someone will be killed or injured.
"Uncle Wangfu, I don't have any ideas at the moment, I just want to stabilize these people first, don't fight again!"
"Hey, what's going on?" Mura Zheng left with his noodle pocket, Situ Yan waited for Li Dalang to come out of the inverted room, and then put the grain into the ring and entered the hall.
"Little Wu, do you have any ideas?" The four brothers of the Li family, like Muramasa, thought that Situ Yan had an idea, so they stabilized the people first.
"Brothers, let me think about it again, I don't have any idea at the moment!" Situ Yan was also anxious, but at the moment she really had no idea. Rubbing his temples with one hand and his legs with the other, his mind racing as he stared at the ground.
In fact, she also thought about killing all these people, after all, "cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows", but even if she is cold-blooded, after all, in her previous life, she was a soldier who defended her family and the country, and she still couldn't do anything against these ordinary people who were just hungry, after all, these people did not do anything to hurt her family's life, so she could only turn to think of other ways.
If you can hide all the grain in the village, only leave a little in the grain tank, and then let the villagers pretend to resist, let them snatch away the grain deliberately left, so that the disaster victims think that there is no food in this Lijia Village, and these people will not come again in the future, even if the disaster victims in other villages hear about it, they will not come again, this is the best way and will never come again, but the key is how to hide these grains so that people will not find out.
In addition, according to what these victims said, they gave the grain first, so that they could at least keep most of the grain, and when the people left, they would transport all the grain to the mountains and hide it, and they would not be afraid that anyone would come to ask for food. But you can't give five buckets as they say, if you give it too much, it will make these people suspicious.
After much deliberation, only the last option is the safest. Immediately went to find the village Zheng, at this time Aunt Fu was still at the entrance of the village with two large pots to cook paste, the victims stayed at the entrance of the village, looking at the paste cooked in the pot, and did not make any more noise for a while.
Situ Yan told the village Zheng what she meant, "Girl, I look at the matter of hiding grain, but I can't get through now, these people are guarding, this family has more than ten stones of grain, and more than dozens of stones, even if you want to hide it, you can't transport it for half a day and a day?" ”
"Uncle Wangfu bargained with them, each family in the village can only make up three buckets at most, and there is no more, and we can't give them all the family, we are hungry ourselves. If they don't agree, we will fight with them, thinking that they will have enough to eat, and naturally they will not have the strength to work hard, and they will have a lot of food. Let Aunt Fu move slowly, it is best to drag it out until dark, this is not bright, and they are not easy to move. But they will come back later, but by then we have already hidden the grain! ”
"Girl, uncle, thank you, you have helped my uncle a lot. Do as you wish! "Muramasa is not polite to Situ Yan, this is not the time, he hurriedly went to his daughter-in-law and asked her to cook slowly, and even more slowly when dividing the paste, and it must be delayed until dark.
Although Aunt Fu didn't understand why, she believed that the owner must have an idea, and of course she did it with all her might.
Mura Zheng gathered all the masters to the ancestral hall again, and told Situ Yan's idea to the masters, although everyone was reluctant to give up the three buckets of grain, but compared to the dozens of stones of grain stored in the house, only these three buckets gritted their teeth and agreed.
This matter has finally been settled, Mura Zheng was so tired that he sat on the ground, he still had injuries on his body, and he didn't even bother to look at his son's injuries, in fact, he was not worried, because Situ Yan was bandaging the little sheep at this time.
"Thank you, Little Five!"
"Brother Little Lamb, what are you polite, this arm doesn't hurt the bones, it will be fine in a few days, but you can't use any more strength these days!"
"Hmm!" Xiao Yang'er blushed, a little embarrassed, but her heart was very warm, looking at the top of Situ Yan's head, her eyes narrowed into a slit.
treated the wound for Xiao Yang'er, and went to see Liangzi, Li Si, Gouzi, Li Aniu and Shanwazi, and then went home and took off the clothes of Da Lang and San Lang, rubbed the medicine on the two, and checked them to feel at ease.
The sun saw that it was about to set, and there were many people in the disaster, so the old people and children ate it tightly, and Aunt Fu boiled it twice, until it was completely dark, which made the victims eat mush, and there was food in the stomach, and people were not so annoyed.
Li Wangfu saw that the time was almost up, so he found the village leader of Tubazi Village and the village leader of Shanwazi Village. During this time, Li Wangfu also chatted with these two people, and naturally inquired about the affairs of these two villages.
"Two brothers, I went from house to house, but the family only made up three buckets, I'm not afraid that you know, this family only left less than one bucket, if you don't keep at all, don't say they don't agree, even I can't give it. You two villages don't have anything to eat, but you can't let us starve, can you? I'm going to talk about the ugly things in my head, I want to! Take it, don't! We're going to fight for our lives. ”
The two of them are not so anxious at this time, people are inert, this is full, and there is no desperate energy, the two of them combined, I feel that there are a lot of three buckets, at least one family can divide a dozen catties, and it is not a problem to eat for a while, they don't want to really fight with the villagers of Lijia Village, and it is dark at this time, and they can't see anything clearly in the black around them, even if they want to rob it, they can't find the door, if they rush into the village, they are afraid that they will be caught in the way of the people of Lijia Village. I agreed.
The village was distributing the grain collected to the victims, and took a few strong men from the village to send them all the way to the post road, and then returned to the village. Overnight, all the grain from the village was transported into the mountains, and a few caves where I usually hunted were found and stored. As early as when the victims left, Situ Yan put the contents of the ring back to their original position at home, but only took out the grain bag with black noodles, and did not take anything else. When transporting grain, because the road into the mountain is not easy to walk, there is no way to catch the car, so you can only rely on people's backs. Although the four brothers of the Li family felt that there was less food at home, they were anxious at this time, and they didn't have time to ask urgently.
