"Even a child knows that if it weren't for the protection of the big boss over the years, our cheap lives would have been buried in the wind and sand of the desert long ago, you people...... Can't you really think of it? An old man who was embarrassed and had obvious pulling marks on his clothes put the crutches in his hand on the ground and said with a proud face.

"You keep saying that the great masters are afraid of the Turks, and they do not even dare to save their brothers who have been born and died for many years. But you really can't see it, why don't they go to save people? A tear-stained woman with red eyes stared at the crowd who was still tearing with them, and said hoarsely.

"You have seen what has happened in the past few days, poisoning the water, planting small crops in the stockades, and the Turks clearly want us to kill each other. But you ...... Alas! What is the difference between what you are doing today and those Turks outside the stockade! A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy stretched out his hand and pointed to the familiar faces in front of him, gritted his teeth and said.

“……”

In the counting one after another, none of the people who rushed into the granary with a shout not long ago could hold their heads high, and even the courage to look directly at Ruan Ning and his party disappeared in this voice of accountability.

After some time, a woman pursed her lips and whispered, "We just want to get some food, and we don't plan to burn down ......the granary."

Xu was this woman who found a reasonable excuse for the people of Qingfeng Village who bowed their heads, and everyone looked at each other and opened their mouths to justify their actions.

"I just grabbed the food, the fire was not the ...... I planted"

"I didn't set fires, I didn't even grab food......"

"I've been kicked a few times......"

"This fire is an accident, everyone is not intended......"

“……”

Such a pale and weak defense reached the ears of Ruan Ning and the others, and she only felt a chill in her heart. Lei Huomu and the others who came with her held back their breath and wanted to have a seizure, but looking at everyone's expressions, they didn't know how to attack at all.

Are these people the ones they have to protect at the cost of their lives?

In an instant, Jin Buchang committed suicide in front of them in order to prevent Zhao Shizhu from escaping, Liancheng was captured in order to steal water from the village, and the Turks were thrown into a boiling hot pot to cook, in order to prevent the Turkic army from attacking the city, Shilang took a hundred people out of the village to ambush the picture, and the brothers up and down Qingfeng Village, in order to protect Qingfeng Village, protect these people in the village, and guard the gate of the village at all costs......

Lei Huo lowered his head first, turned to Ruan Ning with an expressionless face and said, "Big boss, I'm a little tired, let's withdraw first......"

Broken Knife swept over the panicked and innocent people with their faces cold, took a deep breath, suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "The big boss, there are no people at the gate of the village, I will take people to take the first step......"

"Big boss, there are still injuries on the pupils, I'll take her down to bandage ...... first"

"The ...... of the Big Boss"

"The ...... of the Big Boss"

Except for Ruan Ning and Zhang Yufu, several leaders of Qingfeng Village all found excuses to leave.

Every time someone leaves, the people of Qingfeng Village can't help but be shocked. When only Zhang Yufu and Ruan Ning were left in the end, a complex emotion of being abandoned gradually surfaced from the bottom of their hearts, mixed with a great fear, so that they didn't even know where to put their hands and feet.

"The ...... of the big boss," someone called out tentatively.

Since Ruan Ning, who learned that there was no grain left in the granary, he finally made a move when he heard this timid voice.

She turned, her gaze sweeping over everyone in front of her, no anger, no sorrow, only boundless calm.

But it was this calmness that made everyone in Qingfeng Village tremble from the bottom of their hearts for no reason.

"What else do you want to do?" Ruan Ning looked at the person in front of him without the slightest wave.

Seeing that everyone looked at each other, and no one could speak, she continued to speak calmly, "The well in the stockade has been poisoned, and you are clamoring to leave the village and join the Turks. Liancheng went out of the village to get water, was captured by the Turks, and died tragically in front of our eyes, and you also shouted to protect yourself. Now that the grain in the village is gone, no one knows when Qingfeng Village will be razed to the ground by the Turkic army outside, have you thought about it? ”

"What do you mean, boss?" Someone noticed the meaning of Ruan Ning's words, and asked in a panic.

Ruan Ning chuckled lightly and said, "Among you, don't many people think that we can't protect Qingfeng Village and the big guys?" Now I'll let you choose. Whether you plan to join the Turks, or want to leave Qingfeng Village to protect yourself, you can leave today. ”

"Big boss, are you going to drive us away?" A man who had been full of rebelliousness not long ago had his eyes wide in disbelief.

Ruan Ning shook his head and said with a chuckle, "It's not that I'm going to drive you away, it's you, and you don't plan to go to Qingfeng Village." ”

"You ...... Now, are you satisfied? The old man on crutches kept stamping his feet angrily.

"If you want to go, you can go by yourself, I won't go anyway."

"I won't leave, if it weren't for Qingfeng Village and the big boss, I wouldn't know where I would die in the desert! This place has been my home for so many years, and I won't leave it anyway......"

"I'm not leaving! I'm fifteen years old, and I have some strength to handle a knife and a gun. If the Turks really ...... If you really kill them, I'll fight them! ”

"I won't leave ...... big boss"

……

The group of people who stopped everyone from grabbing the granary before were the first to stand up and make a statement.

Listening to the words of these people, those who were hesitant gradually wavered.

After a while, someone moved his body slightly, walked behind the first group of people, and said with little confidence, "I...... I'm not leaving...... Out of here, I don't know where I'm going to go......"

One after another, people stood up from the crowd and switched sides. The further they went, the more determined they were to stay, and the louder they spoke.

However, Ruan Ning looked at everyone as if he hadn't heard anything, and then turned to leave.

Seeing Ruan Ning's back, someone was anxious and shouted, "The ...... of the big boss"

Without waiting for those people to catch up, Zhang Yu's servant on the side stopped everyone with a loud voice.

"Silver Dragon, what are you stopping us from doing? We have to explain to the big boss that we don't want to leave......"

Looking at the face of the person in front of him who was eager to explain, Zhang Yufu's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he paused, before he said word by word, "The big boss will not abandon anyone in Qingfeng Village." Unless...... You have chosen to abandon Qingfeng Village. ”

Seeing that everyone was confused like the second monk, Zhang Yufu shook his head and said softly, "What am I doing when I explain so much to you?" Okay, do whatever you have to do, the Turks don't know what tricks they want to play yet, I still have to go to the gate and keep an eye on it. ”

After that, Zhang Yufu also left with people, leaving only a group of Qingfeng Zhai people in place, staring at each other with big eyes.

The paper couldn't contain the fire, even though Ruan Ning and the others tried their best to hide the news that there was no surplus food in Qingfeng Village, but the Turks who were everywhere still found out.

The next night, a strong smell of meat swept into Qingfeng Village along the night wind.

After being thirsty for three whole days and hungry for a day and a night, the people of Qingfeng Village were instantly attracted to all their attention.

Outside the gate, Ashina Boye let people set up more than a dozen cauldrons, the bottom of the pot is a burning fire, and the pot is a fragrant beef and mutton.

While eating the boiled mutton and drinking the best mare's milk wine, he looked at Zhang Yufu and the others in Qingfeng Village with provocative eyes, and shouted loudly, "Yinlong, I heard that there is no water or food in your village, why do you have to hold on to it?" In my opinion, just go out of the stockade and surrender, I have prepared beef and mutton and mare's milk wine here, waiting to feast with you! ”

Zhang Yufu looked at the smug look on Ashina Boye's face outside the village, laughed out loud, and said nonchalantly, "Thank you for your kindness, General, it's just that I grew up freely in the Central Plains, and I'm afraid I can't get used to eating your Turkic things!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yufu turned around with an ugly face, and no matter what Ashina Boye outside the village said, he didn't pay any attention to it.

Looking at the pupils wrapped in bandages on his arms, Zhang Yufu asked with a little worry in his eyes, "What is the situation of those people in the stockade now?" ”

Hearing Zhang Yu's question, the bottom of his eyes instantly lit up, and he said with some excitement, "It's really strange to say, this time the Turks are so tempted, and no one in the village is making trouble." I just took people to inspect the village, I didn't eat for a day and a night, and the big guys were hungry with their chests and backs, especially those old people and children, even when they walked, their feet were vain. But none of them shouted, but tightened their belts and held on. They couldn't hold it anymore, so they forced themselves to sleep, saying that if they were asleep, they wouldn't feel hungry......"

The words of the pupil made Ruan Ning, who had been silent and silent, raise her head, and if you look closely, you can even find a shallow smile and relief in her eyes.

Zhang Yufu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.

This Ashina Boye is the best at attacking the heart, and in the past few days, the chaos in the stockade has been born, and his credit is not small. The smell of meat wafting from outside the village tonight, not to mention the hungry people in the village, even they who were guarding the gate of the village had to resist it with all their strength.

Fortunately......

With a low chuckle, Zhang Yufu raised his head, looked at the brothers on the city tower who were constantly stroking their stomachs, took a deep breath, and shouted to the flying blade on the side, "Flying Blade, you said that you came from the south before, or if you have nothing to do tonight, you can tell the big guy about what good things you have in the south." ”
