Chapter IV Decisions
In Xiafang Village, the village committee office, Elder Lin and a group of villagers were discussing fiercely about the encirclement and suppression of bandits. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"No, Elder. I resolutely oppose it! Shangfang Village, Tianjiazhuang, and even Tuoshui have a much larger population than us, so why should we send as many people as them, this is unfair and unreasonable. A middle-aged woman with her hair tied up and a headscarf, of medium height, slightly chubby, objected.
"Yes, Elder, yes. ”
"yes, it can't be. ”
"It's not fair!" the crowd responded, and the scene was very noisy.
Elder Lin knocked on the table, waited until everyone's voices were quieter, wiped the sweat oozing from his head, and said slowly: "Geng Zi's family, what you said is right, the man in your family is not too young, he shouldn't be allowed to go, but if he does this, the number of people in our village will not be enough."
Elder Lin was embarrassed and continued: "There are indeed more people in their village than us, but if we have fewer people, they will look down on them, and besides, this is also our village's own business, and it is not bad for us to exterminate the bandits, do you say?"
The middle-aged woman, like the other villagers, fell into deep thought, and at one moment she exchanged words and said two sentences, and then nodded her head and thought it made sense.
After a while, Elder Lin seemed to have already thought of a way, and continued: "I have thought of a way, everyone listen to me and see if it works." ”
"Okay, okay", everyone looked at Elder Lin and said hurriedly.
Elder Lin unhurriedly picked up the teacup in front of him, picked it up with trembling hands and took a sip, looked around at everyone, and saw that everyone was looking at him eagerly, but he himself was not nervous at all.
He slowly put down the teacup, and then said: "The number of people has been discussed with other villages, and it can't be changed, but we can group these people into groups, and when the time comes, I will also go with everyone, so that the young ones will go in front and the older ones will be behind, so that if something happens, it can also make the elderly retreat in advance and reduce our unnecessary casualties, what do you think?"
The hall suddenly became silent, as if the wind rustled against the wooden floor with the fallen leaves. As if he felt cold, Elder Lin shrank his head and couldn't help but shiver.
Almost at the same time, the hall seemed to explode.
"No, no, how can this be done?"
"What, Elder Lin, are you going too?"
"That's not going to work, if you make a mistake, what are we going to do? Everyone said in a panic.
Elder Lin waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet. Then he cleared his throat and coughed dryly, "Ahem~, this time the Yaozhu Coalition Army Department will provide us with a strong coalition force, I heard that they are very powerful, there should be no danger, there should be no danger, danger." ”
After Elder Lin finished speaking, he straightened his old waist, "I also want to see how capable these bandits are, and they have blocked us from entering the mountain for several years." He continued.
"That's not going to work, you can't go. ”
"If your old man has something long, we can't afford it!"
"yes, yes, can't go. Everyone continued to persuade.
The middle-aged woman's man, a middle-aged man named Lin Gengzi, stood up, pointed to his daughter-in-law, and said complainingly: "It's all your fault, what your woman's family knows, you know ......."
"Needless to say, this is what I offered to take you there at the Coalition Headquarters. Besides, when I consulted with the old people in those villages, they just said that they would send the younger ones to go, but they were too scared to go. Think about it, the young man now doesn't accept anyone, the anger is too great, if on the way up the mountain, he hasn't met the bandits, and his own people fight first because of a quarrel, then there will be big trouble. Elder Lin analyzed.
Some of the villagers thought this was the truth, and some thought it was too risky, and they wanted to persuade Elder Lin again.
"Okay, you don't need to talk about it, I think I was also one of the most famous hunters in these villages back then, will I still be afraid of a few little bandits? Everyone go back and prepare, I will inform you of the specific time. ”
After speaking, Elder Lin beat his rickety back, slowly passed past everyone, and gradually walked away in the environment where everyone looked at each other.
。。。。。。
"You old immortals, let you continue to be greedy for life and fear death, although whenever I think of your gloating face, I feel sick to my stomach, but this time I will let you know what it is like to slap your face!" Old man Lin walked towards his home, gritting his teeth and thinking about how to curse the old foxes in the neighboring village.
Suddenly, a small stone flew over from nowhere and smashed towards the top of his head, and at this time, Old Man Lin happened to trip over the stone under his feet again, and it hit his shoulder, Elder Lin quickly glanced back, but found that it was Lin Sheng grinning at himself.
Lin Sheng scratched his head while laughing and said, "I wanted to hit you on the head, but I didn't expect this unfortunate stumbling block to help you dodge and miss, haha." He suddenly covered his mouth again: "No, no, Grandpa Lin, that little stone was picked up by me, it looks very strange, I want to give it to you, I didn't want to hit you, I didn't ......"
Before Lin Sheng could finish explaining, he ran away like a puff of smoke, leaving the angry old man Lin behind, chasing after him, and shouting hysterically with a voice that rushed up to the sky: "Lin Sheng, you rabbit cub, you come back for me!"
A day ago, Yao built the northern coalition army headquarters of the city.
"I said Old Man Lin, every time you act together, you always use the small number of people as a reason, and the villagers sent at least don't say anything, and they always speak loudly, as a matter of course, if you are still like this, you don't have to participate in this operation, and when the time comes, you will redivide the land after taking down Xiafang Mountain, you just want us and we won't give it to you. Elder Li of the petitioning village said mockingly.
Elder Tian of Tianjia Village, a heavyweight middle-aged fat man, sat on a seat that did not match his figure, crossed his feet, patted the conference table, stood up, and then said: "Yes, yes, Elder Lin, you old man can't always think about taking advantage, I think what Elder Li said makes sense, if you still do such a disgraceful thing, how can you hold your head up if you go to our Tianjia Bazaar to buy and sell things in the future." ”
Elder Liu of Tuoshui Village felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and wanted to say something, but Old Man Lin took the first step to say: "Elder Liu, I remember that you asked our village to make thirty big ships for you in Tuoshui Bay, didn't you? I agreed to this, and I will do it for you when I come back." ”
Elder Liu is also an old man, and he turned his pen to the words that he wanted to say, and said with a smile on his face: "That's good, I was about to discuss this matter with you, and if you agreed, it would be even better." ”
Originally, Old Man Lin wanted to blackmail Old Man Liu with this matter, but he had to do so in order to win over a companion. Elder Lin looked at Elder Liu and smiled, but did not speak, but he was extremely angry in his heart.
Lu Tianming is the supreme person in charge of the Yaozhucheng Coalition Army, tall and mighty, he is not only powerful and explosive, but also extremely fast. He has lived here since he was a child, and was once considered by others to be the most powerful man in Yao Cheng. Just because he is so powerful, the entire Yaozhu soldiers and people respect and worship him.
And at this moment, he also has a headache, these old guys have not stopped arguing since they came here. He has always been strict and iron-faced, and he can't do anything with a few old things.
"Okay, okay, don't argue. Lu Tianming said in a thick voice.
"I also know that you all have difficulties, but you are so noisy, and you can't solve it if you don't stop arguing, I think so, I sent someone to ask my superiors for instructions, and asked my superiors to send you a regular joint force, they are all equipped with advanced high-tech weapons, I believe that with this group of heavy firepower regular army, it is still easy to take down hundreds of small thieves. As for the number of people, you should all be the same, anyway, with this regular army, you can make up the number of people as many as you go. ”
"Good, good. I saw Elder Lin patting the table and dancing, "This is the best." ”
What can be done without effort is something that the few elders sitting down are happy to see. So this time, the rare elders all agreed, and there was no quarrel at all.
"It's just that you have to wait for the approval of your superiors, and your plan may be postponed for a few days, but for these few days, I believe everyone can wait. Lu Tianming said.
Several old guys hurriedly said in unison: "No problem! No problem! ”
"After the meeting, you elders will discuss how many people you want to send, as long as the number is equal, but in order not to let the coalition troops gossip, you should outnumber them, after all, this is your own business. ”
Lu Tianming thought for a while, and then said: "I won't follow, I still have a lot of things to do here, and I can't do without myself." But do you elders go with you, or do you send a representative? No matter what, you must restrain the villagers below, although you are arguing and arguing all day long, but those villagers still respect you very much. ”
The old man Lin, who was still dancing just now, suddenly coughed a few times weakly after hearing this, and muttered in a low voice: "Hey~ Old man, it's useless, I breathe after walking a few steps, and I still have back pain, I went to increase the burden on the juniors, who are you going, my old man can't go." ”
Elder Lin said as he picked up the teacup in front of him and drank tea, but the hand holding the cup seemed to tremble more than before, and it was sprinkled on the table from time to time.
Before Old Man Lin finished his performance, Tian Fatzi sighed and said on the other side: "Squeak, I had high blood pressure two days ago, and I am still weak, dizzy, swollen, and breathless, I, I can't do it." As he spoke, he looked at the tall and thin Elder Li.
"Hey, Brother Tian, you, what do you think I'm doing? It's not like you don't know that I have been cold for many years, you won't forget the medicine that Lao Langzhong took from your village a month ago, right?" Elder Li hurriedly said.
The conference room, which had just been unanimous, suddenly turned into a scene of quarrels. Lu Tianming felt that the scene seemed to be about to get out of control again, so he quickly waved his hand, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and raised his voice: "I said, I said, you listen to me......"
But it doesn't seem to have much effect.
"If you quarrel again, I won't ask my superiors for help from the coalition forces, you can do it yourself. Lu Tianming sat in his seat, blew on the steaming teacup next to his mouth and said.
In fact, these words were not loud at all, and they were not worth mentioning in the noisy arguments of everyone, but the strange thing was that the few people who were chattering a second ago seemed to suddenly become mute, and they all looked at Lu Tianming with blank eyes, as if they were looking at a peerless beauty.
Lu Tianming coughed dryly, and was extremely uncomfortable to be looked at by a group of elderly old men. He rubbed his shoulders and said, "Since everyone has a reason, it is better to draw lots to decide, this is all right." Whoever is chosen, it is providence, no wonder others. ”
Time for half a cup of tea......
"Hahaha, I said Brother Lin, all the good things have been put on the table for you, how can we still live!" Elder Li laughed loudly.
"Yes, yes, Elder Lin, you have to take care of the children of our village. ”
"By the way, Elder Lin, who are you going to give up the position of the next elder to someone in your village, have you explained it?"
Elder Lin: "。。。。。。 ”
