Volume 2 The Beginning of the Legend Chapter 4 The Noise in the Village
The village chief staggered to Betty's side on crutches, and instead of looking at Betty in front of him, he looked at the man beside him.
Betty saw the village chief come to her side, and hurried to tell her the strange story that had happened in the woods in the morning.
The village chief stroked his beard and nodded as he listened to Betty's account of what had happened.
The village chief thought for a while, and then said with a stern expression, "Betty, you told me that you found a lot of glowing animals in the forest, didn't you?
Growing up, Betty had been a little intimidated by the village chief's grandfather, who always had a serious face, and couldn't help but hesitate to hear him ask these questions to herself.
Betty also knew how bizarre what had happened to her in the morning, so much so that she now regretted telling it all about it, and maybe she would be ridiculed by the villagers as a liar in the future.
Betty suddenly remembered that there was indeed another witness to this incident, and that was Uncle Buddy, who was screaming and calling everyone over.
Betty hurriedly ran to Uncle Buddy's side, grabbed his clothes and asked, "Uncle Buddy, didn't you see that glowing elk?
Buddy couldn't help but feel a little shaken when he heard little Betty's request, after all, he seemed to see the glowing creatures, but because he had been frightened earlier, he didn't know if what he saw was real.
"This, I can't be sure it's true, I was stupefied at the time, and I didn't know the specifics of it. ”
The village chief walked over to the man, stared at the man on the ground with wide eyes, shook his head and didn't dwell on the matter anymore, anyway, little Betty was indeed talking about a strange man who had brought him back to the village.
This man seems to be seriously injured, and now he can't sit idly by, so he can only treat him first and ask him where he came from.
"Alas. The village chief walked slowly to the middle of the crowd and said to the crowd of onlookers, "You people don't watch the excitement, whether Betty says the truth or not, this man can't leave him here."
Ahem, our village has adhered to the village rule since ancient times that you can't save the injured if you die, so send some young men to help him and carry him back to my room!"
After saying that, the village chief felt that someone was pulling at the hem of his clothes, and when he looked back, it was Betty looking at him expectantly.
"Grandpa the village chief, can you let them carry this man to my house, my house is relatively large, it can accommodate him to stay in my house to rest, and there is no need to occupy the place where you rest, grandpa!"
The village chief smiled silently, he knew this Betty's little abacus, anyway, he had just confirmed the man's clothes, he didn't have weapons or anything like that, so let her say and send the man to Betty's house to rest.
"Well, since you have asked me so, can I disagree with Betty's plea from the sensible and obedient? ”
Now that the chief of their village had given the task, how could the young and vigorous young man not work hard? They shouted the trumpet, put the mysterious man unconscious on an improvised stretcher, and carried him lightly towards Betty's house in the village.
It was a novelty that a strange man had appeared in the village, except for the traders who came into the village on weekdays and the monthly fair, this isolated village was basically a group of familiar faces, and there were no strangers at all.
Therefore, this strange fact immediately spread throughout the not very large villages.
And according to rumors, the man was very handsome, and many women with their children gathered outside Betty's house to see the man's face.
The village chief had a straight face, leaning on the crutches that had already been pulped out by him, and was angry at the door of Betty's house, looking at the people in a circle with a dissatisfied expression.
The village chief's face turned purple, and at last he couldn't hold back his anger and yelled at the people around him who wanted to enter Betty's house to see the strange man.
"Have you all had enough of tossing around here?
Have you made your supper ready, women, and will your husbands not eat when he returns?
Men have you finished plowing your land? Now that the grain is about to be harvested, you are still here chatting and talking, and the whole family is not eating!
I'll go back and finish your work!"
The onlookers heard the roar of the village chief and knew that the village chief was really angry, and out of the majesty that the village chief had accumulated in the village for many years, they did not dare to say anything questioning, and hurriedly dispersed, and no one dared to disobey the village chief's questioning.
At this time, Betty quietly opened the door, poked her head out to look at the door, and saw that the village chief was the only one around, she hurriedly ran out and handed the village chief a radish to express her gratitude.
"Grandpa the village chief, thank you, the people in the village are so fond of joining in the fun, just now a crowd of people gathered outside my house, I don't dare to come out. ”
"Alas!"
The village chief had a kind smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and touched the top of Betty's head and said, "You can take this radish back, your family is not easy, unconsciously, little Betty, you have grown so tall, it is really unforgiving!"
It's getting dark, and your parents should be coming back, so I'll go back first, and when they come back, you have to explain to them the man's origin!"
With that, the village chief walked back slowly on crutches.
But Betty scratched her hair in distress, and the village chief's grandfather probably didn't believe what she said, so how did she explain it to her father and mother!
