Chapter Forty-Six: It's All Routines

Hearing this killing word, Jia Nian frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Jia Nian's expression change, Zhao Ergou immediately reacted and glared at the water thieves: "Kill? Kill what kill"

"As long as they escape, it will be Changhe Village and the villagers, and we will not be able to protect them, what will we do to kill them" Zhao Ergou shouted a reprimand at the water thieves.

Then he looked at Tang Jiabao and Tang Yanqing who were hiding behind Jia Nian, and smiled kindly at them: "Don't be afraid, they are all playing with you."

"Really, really?" Tang Jiabao cautiously asked Zhao Ergou.

Tang Daniu looked at Tang Jiabao: "I can't believe his words, this person looks like a bad person"

"I, Zhao Ergou" Hearing the word bad guy, Zhao Ergou's face was a little unbearable, but considering that Jia Nian was the God of Wealth, he changed the conversation: "I am an acquaintance with your village chief."

"You can call me Uncle Zhao according to your seniority," Zhao Ergou said kindly, and then his smile became a little thicker: "Uncle will not harm you."

"Phew, uncle is a good person, how can he harm people" Zhao Ergou immediately noticed the sick words in that sentence and explained to Tang Jiabao and Tang Daniu.

Looking at Zhao Ergou's painstaking explanation, Jia Nian's expression softened: "When you brought these refugees to my Changhe Village, they were already villagers of our Changhe Village, so please don't scare them."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it was just a misunderstanding just now" Zhao Ergou flattered Jia Nian.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ergou was so easy to speak, Jia Nian showed a satisfied smile.

Seeing the smile on Jia Nian's face, Zhao Ergou immediately turned around and looked at the refugees, and said loudly at the top of his voice: "You are lucky to have met a benevolent village chief, from now on you will join Changhe Village, don't be grinding."

"Goodbye, meet the village chief" The refugees glanced at each other and shouted at Jia Nian under the oppression of a group of water thieves.

"220 refugees have joined Changhe Village, please settle properly as soon as possible due to the low sense of belonging"

Jia Nian looked around at the refugees and saw that their eyes were full of fear, and he couldn't help but feel a delusion in his heart.

If these water thieves withdraw, the first thing these people will do is to flee immediately.

Just when I was in distress, there were footsteps, followed by two sounds of surprise.

"Second Brother"

"Second Brother"

Two young men walked out of the refugees and looked at the figures in front of them and shouted at them.

Gu Enze's whole body trembled with excitement, and he rushed over with an arrow step, and then laughed: "Cousin, cousin, I didn't expect you to come so quickly"

"Deqiu?" A voice was heard, and a man walked out.

Sun Deqiu looked in the direction where the voice came from, followed by ecstasy: "Brother"

"Okay, good," the man said loudly to Sun Deqiu.

"Didn't you get sent away by the water thieves not long ago? I didn't expect to see you again, even if you are a dead brother, you can be blinded"

"Is that how you were sent here?"

"Eunze, what the hell has happened these days?"

"It's been a good few days, it's better than a dream."

"Actually, you came here because we begged the village chief to redeem you."

"What? It was you who asked Changhe Village and the village chief to redeem us."

"Deqiu, what the hell is going on?"

"Enze also said just now, this is all our meaning, we asked the village chief for help"

Sun Deqiu paused a little when he said this, looked around the front, and said loudly to them: "Fellow villagers, please listen to me."

The voice spread, and all the refugees held their breath at the same time, and looked at Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze together.

"Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, we have fled from the Central Plains to the south and countless people, our wives have been separated, and hunger and disease have been tormenting us. finally escaped to Chaohu Lake, but was attacked by water thieves, and finally fell into the Baifan Water Village. Although he barely survived on gruel, he survived to this day. But the world is not peaceful, where is our home" Sun Deqiu said slowly, his eyes were a little moist when he thought of the scene along the way.

Low sobs rang out, tears flowed from the eyes of hundreds of old and weak women and children, and an ignorant child wanted to cry but was covered by his relatives.

Gu Enze took a deep breath and saw that Sun Deqiu was also sobbing softly, so he took his words and said slowly: "Everyone, do you want to find a place to live and work in peace and contentment?" Where there is no war, there is peace"

Everyone is silent, and where does the world come from in chaos.

"Do you think what I said is a bit false" Gu Enze smiled self-deprecatingly, and then changed his words: "The world is chaotic, where can I enjoy peace?"

"It's just that I want to ask you, why don't you ask for others and not for yourself?" Gu Enze asked everyone.

Looking at this familiar figure, the refugees couldn't help but show a trace of confusion. How to ask for yourself. Is it just my old body?

"Here is Chaohu Lake with fertile water and soil, here is Chaohu Lake with green lotus roots, here is Chaohu Lake with countless fish and shrimp. Could it be that we are here, with our own hands, unable to open up a place of peace? Gu Enze said slowly to everyone, and his tone gradually became firm.

A warm current rose in everyone's hearts, like a small flame, bringing a glimmer of hope to his cold heart.

In the myriad of dull eyes, there was a glint called hope, which was faint but it was a great beginning.

Sun Deqiu took Gu Enze's words and said loudly to them: "A large part of you are my fellow villagers, some of you are my elders, and some of you are my blood relatives."

"Can we stick together and fend for ourselves? Can we take up our bows and arrows and defend our village? Can we make this the perfect home? Sun Deqiu asked everyone.

Then the conversation changed: "Some people may say that there are many water thieves here, some people may say that this place is dangerous, and some people will say that this place is not suitable for survival."

"Wake up, where there is water, there are water thieves, where there are mountains, there are bandits, and where there are no mountains and no water, there are bandits. Have we experienced less along the way? Do you want to keep running and end up dying on a road you don't even know about, and then in the wilderness of abandoned corpses? Sun Deqiu asked them a series of questions.

Whenever a question rang out, everyone lowered their heads a little. Then there was a deep sigh, this is fate, they were destined to go so miserable.

"No, it's not our life, I don't believe it's our life. We still have one way to go, and that is to stay here and use our own strength to open up our own homeland," Sun Deqiu shouted.

Everyone suddenly raised their heads, and at the same time looked at Sun Deqiu, and when they saw him shouting, an inexplicable impulse appeared in their hearts.

We are refugees, can we really use our strength to carve out a foothold in this chaotic Chaohu Lake?

Gu Enze took Sun Deqiu's words and said in a thick tone: "If even we give up ourselves, then how can others care about our lives? If we don't cherish ourselves, who can we hope to help?"

The light in everyone's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the warm current in their hearts grew wildly.

"Open your eyes well, look around, who can help us" Gu Enze's tone became a little thicker.

After a slight pause, give everyone a brief time to think: "Do you see the ground under your feet?" It has the most fertile soil, with yields of up to 10 stone per acre."

"What more could we hope for? Looking at the situation and situation along the way, the only ideal place for us to settle is Chaohu, instead of running around aimlessly" Gu Enze said more and more slowly: "Think about it, what's the point of escaping like this?" ”

"If you are lucky, you will be valued by the family and become a slave and servant, and if you are unlucky, you will die on the road and become a white bone on the side of the road. If you wish, I can convince the village chief to let you go. It's just that before leaving, I hope you can seriously think clearly" Gu Enze finished speaking to them, and then closed his mouth and said nothing.

Guo Dapang glanced at Jia Nian and quietly gave a thumbs up. I didn't think he was hiding a hand, but it seems to be working very well now.
