Hungry people who ask for food come to Yangshan Village every day, and the people in the village feel that this is not the case, and every day a large number of people come into the village to ask for food, which disturbs the whole village and makes the whole village uneasy, and there are always people who have few things to eat.

Later, Fang Daping called the people from the village to the compound to discuss how to deal with the hungry people who came every day.

Lu Yu also went to the compound and took Yan Xi'an and Yan Xiding together. The attitude of the people in the village towards Lu Yu has changed a lot now, although they don't know what they think in their hearts, but at least they are still amiable on the surface. Lu Yu felt that this was enough, there was no need to have a heart-to-heart relationship with everyone, as long as he could get by on the surface.

Fang Daping asked everyone to express their opinions to see who had a good way to make those hungry people stop coming to the village to beg.

Some people say that those people come every day, and they don't want a few dozen catties of food to go home one day, and now they can't be counted as hungry.

"Who would have more food? I see that even if the family can't eat enough food, they still come to the village to beg for it. ”

"I see, tomorrow they will come again, and we will not give any of them, not a single grain, so that they may not come in the future."

"Don't give? People don't leave at the door! Besides, they are all people nearby, and they are embarrassed not to give a single pill. ”

A bad-tempered villager said, "If they come next time, let's be ruthless, fierce, and make it clear, and tell them not to come again in the future." ”

Lu Yu felt that this idea sounded good, but it was difficult to really mess with those hungry people. They are all acquaintances, people just come to ask for a meal, who can really do it?

The people in the village discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with a good solution. The hungry people have already begun to ask for food, and dignity is definitely not something they think about and care about.

In the end, it was Qi Xiang's group of outsiders who spoke, and Qi Xiang said that as long as the people in the village had no opinion, they could come forward and send the group of people who asked for food.

Fang Daping asked Qi Xiang how to send that group of people.

Qi Xiang patted his chest and said, "First persuade them with good words, saying that we have no food, so let them not come again." If you can't persuade it, you can rush it, and if you can't drive it away, you can only do it. It seems that Qi Xiang has already regarded himself as a member of Yangshan Village.

Some villagers asked, "Do you want to do it?" Wouldn't it be good if it hurt someone? ”

"We're not going to kill them, trying not to hurt them." Qi Xiang smiled and said: "If you really accidentally hurt one or two, then there is no way, who told them not to listen to persuasion, our people's food did not fall from the sky, they came to ask for a little today, and came to ask for a little tomorrow, don't be hungry by then, but we ourselves have no food." ”

Qi Xiang's words won a series of approvals, perhaps for the first time that the original villagers felt that these displaced people from the north were not without merit. So in the end, it was decided that when the group of hungry people came into the village to ask for food, Qi Xiang would lead people to deal with it.

After the meeting ended, Qi Xiang followed Lu Yu to his house. Qi Xiang asked Lu Yu very carefully if his idea was good.

Lu Yu said: "It's good, there's nothing inconvenient for you to come forward, besides, only you can send that group of people." ”

"Hehe, Brother Da Yu, you say okay, then there is no problem."

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "This is a good deed for the village, why should I say no." ”

Qi Xiang was very happy, and said: "If I can do something for our village, I will feel comfortable." ”

Lu Yu understood that Qi Xiang's words were deliberately said to himself, and he said with a smile: "You think you are a member of Yangshan Village, even if you do good deeds, no one in the village will be grateful to you." ”

"Don't be grateful, as long as you don't drive us away."

"Surely not." Lu Yu's heart suddenly moved, and he asked again: "Last time, Huang Li, did they bring women and children?" ”

"I don't have children, I seem to have a few women, and I don't know where they have all gone." Qi Xiang's tone was slightly lower.

"Well, that's good." Lu Yu didn't regret killing that group of lawless mobs, but he was a little unbearable, and he didn't want the women, children, old and weak who came with Huang Li and them to live because they had no support. They didn't bring children, so Lu Yu was a little less unbearable, although women are also weak, but women themselves are a resource, to survive in this troubled world, they will have some kind of innate advantage.

It was not busy outside, and Lu Yu began to work in Anding Valley again. The paddy fields in the valley should be turned several times, and then the fields should be watered, and the soil can be sown and transplanted after the soil is soft.

In the morning, he drove the goats, carried the shovels and rakes, led Yan Xi'an and Yan Xiding, and entered the valley together, and was busy until noon, when the three of them went home empty-handed for dinner.

Yan Jibai was not at home, Mrs. Yan was cooking in the kitchen by herself, she told Lu Yu that Yan Jibai had gone to the entrance of the village, and the group of hungry people who came today were making noise at the entrance of the village. As soon as he heard that there was a lot of excitement to see, Yan Xi rushed out of the door without looking back, and said that he was going to ask his father to come back for dinner.

Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an also followed, and before they reached the entrance of the village, they heard a group of people shouting loudly. Listening to the accent, the louder voice is the group of hungry people who ask for food.

An old man who was not very old was confronting Qi Xiang, and his mouth was chattering: "Who is that in this village, Sun Daqing, is my nephew, what's wrong with me coming here to order food?" You outsiders, can you manage so much? ”

Sun Daqing was also in the crowd, he looked very embarrassed, and shrank in the crowd without saying a word.

Qi Xiang and several of his fellow northern villagers stood in a row with expressionless faces, like a solid and cold wall, blocking the group of hungry people and preventing them from entering Yangshan Village.

There is a circle of tree walls around Yangshan Village, and outside the tree walls are two bamboo walls, and the bamboo walls used to be traps dug a long time ago, and if you want to enter the village, you can only enter through those few openings on the edge of the village, and several openings are now guarded.

The old man continued to scold: "Will you go? Vertical in this is for your family to erect the spirit card? I don't know how annoying it is! ”

Lu Yu suddenly admired this group of people, they should obviously be hungry people who are "powerless", but now they dare to arrogantly scold a group of strong men in the north. Lu Yu didn't understand where these people got their courage.

Qi Xiang spoke: "You scolded and scolded, and you said it, it's time to leave now, right?" We have said several times that if there is no surplus food in the village to distribute to you, you can't go anywhere else. I see that everyone is old, and they all have children, so they don't know how to do something good? ”

"Hey, you old bastard, who are you talking about? Do we want a grain of rice from you, or something? A group of starving ghosts from the north still think this is their home. The old man was really not afraid of Qi Xiang, and the spittle stars were sprayed on Qi Xiang's face.

Qi Xiang stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, suddenly grinned, and then turned back to the villagers and said, "Look, I reasoned with these people, but they didn't listen, what do you say I can do." ”

At this time, Sun Daqing finally spoke: "Cousin, go back, my family has no food." In fact, the middle-aged man was not his uncle.

The old man jumped to his feet at once, and cried out, "What are you talking about, you little brute?" I want you to have some food, don't forget your mother's surname. ”

"My mother, she doesn't want to see you......" Sun Daqing muttered.

The group of hungry people was still making trouble, and Qi Xiang and his fellow villagers took action. Qi Xiang first burst out with a shout, "Get out of here", and then lifted the man with one hand and threw it to the ground.

Qi Xiang shouldn't have used a lot of strength, otherwise the old and thin man would definitely not be able to get up again. After getting up, the man took a sip and wanted to pounce on Qi Xiang and fight hard.

Lu Yu didn't understand where these people got the courage to fight with the good people who had given them when they couldn't get food. What's more, in front of them is a group of tall northerners, do they think that this group of northerners dare not touch themselves?

What followed was a very lively but not fierce conflict, most of the hungry people were old people and children, Qi Xiang was very careful not to hurt the old people and children, but they were not very polite to those men and women who were not too old and weak.

It didn't take long for the battle to end, and the hungry people, whether they were involved in the battle or not, were lying on the ground, screaming and crying. They were crying about how inhumane they had been treated, how they had been bullied by a group of murderers. They cried and shouted, pretending at first, but gradually they really cried. They may be thinking of this bleak year, thinking of their miserable life, thinking of the winter that will soon follow, and they are truly sad and desperate for their fate.

These people are indeed very pitiful and worthy of sympathy, but the problem is that the people of Yangshan Village have no reason to be responsible for their pity and misfortune, and it is not easy for everyone to live in this troubled and disaster year. The hungry people are right, and the villagers of Yangshan Village are even more wrong.

Lu Yu was very sympathetic to these people, especially when he saw some skinny children, with tears on their dark faces, he also felt a little worried. If the ability is enough, Lu Yu will definitely help them.

But Lu Yu felt that these people didn't understand the situation too much, they cried and complained, what's the use of this, is there really someone in this world who presides over justice for them who is not on their side in the first place? It's better to save some effort and find other ways to get some food.

The noise continued for a while, and finally ended with the defeat of the hungry people. Yangshan Village was victorious, but everyone's mood was not easy, and they did not feel the joy of victory at all. A group of hungry people has been driven away, and everyone can save a lot of food, but why do many people still feel uneasy?

Yan Xi'an went back early, and she couldn't see the hungry people crying in disappointment. Lu Yu's mood was also complicated and heavy, and the rest of the Yan family was similar, so at noon, everyone didn't eat much, except for Yan Xiding.
