Chapter 829: Working Together
The village chief rolled on the ground in pain, only to see a hole in his cotton pants, and blood was oozing out of it.
"Father!" Cui'er exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to support him, "Father, what's wrong with you?" What are you doing here, why are you hurting my father? β
"What to do? Hmph, where did our village offend you, why did you instruct Liu Fatzi to sell poisonous vegetables to us?! Brother Chen was filled with righteous indignation, and did not sympathize with the treacherous old man who fell to the ground.
The village chief was sweating profusely in pain, he opened his eyes slightly and quibbled, "What are you talking about, I, I don't understand......"
"Don't understand? That's this fat man Liu lied to us, let you take your life now! Brother Chen picked up the sickle placed by the door casually, and was about to slash at the fat man Liu who had a blue nose and swollen face, and the other party begged for mercy again and again, "Brother Chen's life!" It was the village chief who made me do this! For the merger of the two villages, it's none of my business, and I'm forced to do it! β
"Fat Liu! What nonsense are you talking about! I treat you well on weekdays, how can you wronged me like this? β
"Village chief, you can't deny it at this time, how dare I do this without your permission? Didn't you say that the village next door hates the most more prey than us, and the meat is more expensive than us, so you have to sell poisonous vegetables to them to complete the merger of the two villages? I'm all doing what you tell me! "Where does Liu Fatzi care about any affection, in his heart, only interests and his own life are the most important.
"Father, you, should you ......" Cui'er didn't believe that her father would do such a thing, and the village chief immediately grabbed her arm, "Cui'er, you have to believe your father, how could your father do such a thing!" β
Brother Chen snorted coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, come with us and give an explanation to our villagers!" He strode forward, and at this moment, the village chief on the ground suddenly pushed his daughter over and slammed into Brother Chen's arms.
"Yikes! Father ......"
Taking advantage of this gap, the cunning village chief endured his leg injury and sank into the bushes on the side.
Fat Liu suddenly screamed in a panic, "Village Chief, don't leave me-" He struggled, and was immediately pressed to the ground by Brother Xu behind him.
Cui'er never dreamed that her father, who loved her on weekdays, would use herself as a shield, and her mind was already blank at this time.
"Chase! Don't let him run! β
Soon, the news spread throughout the village, but more people chose to believe that their usual dedicated village chief would never do such a conscientious thing, and began to look for it spontaneously, intending to explain it to the village next door together.
"Big brother, let me go! I'm also ordered to act......" However, no one paid attention to him, Liu Fatzi was tied up and dragged all the way, and followed everyone in the forest to find the village chief who escaped.
As the night darkened, the whole mountain forest was lit with a little spark.
"Village Chiefβ" The voice echoed through the mountains.
In the corner, a sneaky black shadow lay on the ground, looking up at the torches that appeared in all directions, and secretly hated the stupidity of these villagers. Originally, he still had a chance to escape, but now that so many people have come to block his way and illuminate the originally dark forest, where does he want to run?
The village chief looked up at the path ahead, which was a path that no one would normally walk, and thinking of this, he took out a small tongue of fire from his sleeve and lit it, and climbed the path with the pain in his knees.
"Damn, you won't really let him escape, will you?" Brother Chen scolded unwillingly, if he didn't ask for an explanation to come back, wouldn't the innocent villagers in the village die in vain? And people who don't know will think that they are bullying honest people! At that time, the two villages will be completely torn apart, and there will be no peace.
"Brother Chen, you, let me go, I can help you find the village chief......" Liu Fatzi was tied up uncomfortably, for fear that if the village chief escaped, he would be left alone to carry the black pot, maybe he would be immersed in the pig cage at that time.
"Shut up! Don't even think of running away! β
Lady Yun took advantage of the firelight and squatted down to find a little blood on the ground, "He can't go far." At this time, Mrs. Yun seemed to think of something, and raised her eyes to look at the beautiful woman who had helped them for a day, "Miss Su, it's not early, so I'll leave it to us here." β
Bell bell bell ......
At this moment, there was a slight sound of a bell from the veiled woman, and she frowned and lowered her head, and took out a small bell from her waist, which was able to make a sound on its own, even though there was no wind.
"Someone broke into my labyrinth." She lowered her voice, and only Madame Yun could hear her.
"This ......"
There was a light in Miss Su's eyes flowing slightly, this is not far from the back of the maze, could it be......
"The village chief might be there." She knew that since she had set up a maze, few villagers would choose to take that path, and because of this, the village chief might feel that there was only a way to escape.
Several people glanced at each other and immediately followed Miss Su's footsteps.
W-Where is this?!
"Whew-"
"Ahh Who? Hurry, come out! The old village chief lit his tongue of fire, and wandered around the gloomy woods, for he had been wandering in place for a long time, but after sparing it, he found himself under the tree again. What's going on? No matter how big the forest is, you can always see a way out if you keep moving forward.
At this time, a silver light flashed quickly, and as soon as the tongue of fire in the village chief's hand fell, he made a sizzling sound......
I saw a fox vigilantly poke out a head from the grass, and the two eyes in the darkness emitted a golden glow, the village chief held his breath and took a step back, and a pungent wisp of green smoke came out from the tongue of fire that fell to the ground, but the strange thing is that in the blink of an eye, this wisp of green smoke actually turned into a flame and spread instantly.
"Ahh It's on fire! β
The climate in the mountains was dry, and the flames spread at an unimaginable speed, and the village chief dragged his bleeding knees and fled to the other side, and when he exerted all his strength, he found himself back in the midst of the fire.
"Someone touched the mechanism." Miss Su's eyes were solemn, and suddenly the villagers who followed closely behind exclaimed, "It's on fire!" There's a fire ahead! β
What the? Everyone looked up, only to see that there was a thick green smoke rushing up in the dark night sky, and the fire was not small.
"Quick, put out the fire! Otherwise, the mountain will burn down! The villagers behind him were in confusion.
The sound of gongs rang out in the village, and almost all the villagers rushed towards the mountains and forests with their buckets. This mountain can be said to be their food and clothing, and if there is a fire, the consequences are unimaginable.
However, the fire became more and more ferocious, and in the blink of an eye, it had already crossed two hills.
A silver light flashed, and a larger fox appeared beside Mrs. Yun, and Miss Su also noticed the silver white in the night.
"He's there."
Several people followed Miss Su towards the mysterious path, the air was filled with a strong smell of burning, and there was already a sea of fire in front of them.
"Don't go over, danger!"
The fire was so fierce that even if all the villagers tried their best to put out the fire, it seemed useless, and the temperature around them became more and more scorching.
"Ahh
The familiar voice came from the sea of fire, and someone exclaimed, "Ah! It's the village chief! The village chief is inside! β
Everyone immediately searched carefully in the sea of fire, and sure enough, they saw a figure on fire scurrying in the fire. "Help! Quick, get me outβ"
In the midst of the maze, the village chief didn't know where the way out was, but on the contrary, the villagers outside could see it clearly.
"Hmph, what a ruthless heart! Knowing that you can't run, do you plan to burn the entire mountain by fire? What kind of hatred does our village have with you? Brother Chen's words made everyone think that the fire was set by the village chief, and also, all the people who went up the mountain paid great attention to the fire, and before they could find it, there was a fire, and the village chief was inside, who was not the one he put it? Many people have changed their minds, maybe it was really the village chief who instructed Liu Fatzi to poison the people in the next village, and now that the matter is exposed, he can't escape, so he is angry and plans to die together, but in this way, their village will also be implicated!
When their own interests were harmed, the villagers had already forgotten what the village chief had done for them in the past, and began to accuse them.
"Firefighting! Hurry up and put out the fireβ"
"It's the villager next door!"
I saw a pair of torches coming from a distance on the opposite hill, and those familiar figures rushed over with buckets.
"It's Brother Su, why are you here too?"
"I see that the mountain is on fire, and the people in the village are coming, so let's put out the fire quickly!"
At this moment, there was no suspicion between the two villages at all, and everyone began to carry water to put out the fire, but the wailing figure in the sea of fire gradually lost its voice.
The mountains and forests are so large that no matter how hard the villagers work together, they can't withstand the rapid onslaught of the fire.
Miss Su whispered something in Mrs. Yun's ear, and soon disappeared into a cacophony.
"Yikes! There is water! That's a lot of water! β
I don't know who suddenly exclaimed, only to see countless streams of water sliding down from the top of the mountain, moistening the earth, and the surrounding sound continued to sizzle, the fire gradually decreased, and in about a stick of incense, the fire that had already illuminated half of the sky gradually disappeared into this mysterious water flow.
One after another, figures stood in the darkness, looking up at the green smoke that was gradually disappearing overhead, and someone muttered, "The Bodhisattva has manifested his spirit......
The two villagers slowly stepped forward and stopped next to a charred corpse, the fire was extinguished, but the village chief was powerless.
The villagers of the two villages gathered together, and Liu Fatzi honestly explained the cause and effect of the incident, but the culprit village chief had already reaped the consequences, and the two villages released their suspicions and decided to start forgetting this unpleasant memory again.
"Miss Su, thanks to your mechanism, you were able to extinguish the fire." In the small building, the two women sat opposite each other, talking about this time. "But the maze has been destroyed, does Miss Su have any plans to change places?"
The beautiful woman lowered her eyes slightly, and the movements in her hands paused slightly, "No, I will continue to stay here." β
Beside them, the two foxes that were playing raised their heads and looked at their owners quietly
