378 Collusion

By the time the suturing and bandaging work was completed, Xu Yue, who had been highly concentrated for two or three hours in a row, was already sweaty, her face was pale, and her lips were purple.

When the old village chief saw her dedication, he was moved in his heart, and he no longer suspected that she had other plans.

Even though the conditions in the village were limited, the old village chief still took the initiative to cook all the fresh chickens and sheep that had just been sacrificed to the ancestors and gave them to Xu Yue and others to eat as a token of gratitude.

In this regard, Xu Da refused and resigned, and complained in his heart, such a good sheep should be roasted! How good it boils!

Xu Erniang had already made dinner, white rice and meat sliced porridge with scrambled eggs, and sprinkled with a handful of small wild onions picked on the side of the road, which was fragrant and refreshing.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, although the chicken and sheep are meat, but now the Xu family has long realized the freedom to eat meat, in the face of the enthusiasm of the villagers, only one person tasted two mouthfuls of stewed mutton with a strong taste, and gave the rest to the villagers and the caravan.

The villagers, who were originally very wary of the Xu family and the caravan, eased their relationship a lot because of the meat they ate together, and they called each other brothers.

Familiar with it, without waiting for Xu Yue to take the initiative to ask, the old village chief took the initiative to find it.

The Xu family's "luxury tent" is very prominent in the scattered camp at the entrance of the village, and the old village stands outside this dark green square tent, and is surprised in his heart, can this thin piece of green cloth block the wind and rain?

The old village chief didn't know that there was such a thing as a rainproof cloth, so he curiously reached out and touched the dark green cloth in front of him, which was hard and soft, which was really a very contradictory touch.

And as soon as you touch it, you can feel that this fabric is solid, and it is by no means an ordinary material.

Cloth is inherently expensive, and I really don't know how much it costs to have a big green cloth like this with almost no traces of splicing.

Thinking that he hadn't seen such a big tent in the Xu family's carriage before, the old village chief showed a puzzled look, and he couldn't understand how the Xu family could conjure up such a big tent.

Can it be folded like cloth?

I have to say that the old village chief has the truth.

After waiting in the tent for a long time and not seeing anyone outside the tent come in, Xu Da couldn't wait, took the initiative to get up, and walked out with a basin of washing water for Wang Pingping.

"Wow" A basin of washing water poured out, seemingly inadvertently turned around.

"The old village chief?" Knowing that the other party had been standing outside for a long time, Xu Da still made a surprised look when he found the other party.

The old village chief hurriedly withdrew his hand from the tent and twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "Haven't you rested yet?" ”

"Not yet, old village chief, are you here for anything?" Xu Da quietly put the plastic basin taken out of Xu Yue's laboratory next to the tent door and invited the old village chief to come in and talk.

The old village chief nodded, and with a little curiosity, entered the boxy dark green tent.

The furnishings were not quite what he had imagined, with only five simple beds and a small low table that could be used in a carriage.

However, this tent is high, you can stand up straight, and you can face Xu Yue and the others, which makes the embarrassment of the old village chief dissipate a lot.

"Old village chief, sit down." Xu Yue pointed to the straw mat in front of the low table and invited the village chief to sit down.

Xu Erniang poured a cup of cold white water and asked the old village chief to drink water.

With this posture, those who didn't know thought that the Xu family was deliberately waiting for him to come over.

Xu Yue's family sat opposite the village chief, facing these five masters who killed Wuhuan people without blinking at such a close distance, the pressure was naturally not small, and the old village chief couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

He opened his mouth, seemingly hesitant, but after thinking about it, he said it anyway.

"If you kill these Wuhuan people, the other Wuhuan people will come back to you for revenge!"

The village chief spoke in dialect, but he slowed down his speech as much as possible, and Xu Yue's family could roughly understand it, even Qi Qi frowned.

The old village chief sighed: "You are all from other places, you may not know, Wuhuan and Xianbei people colluded together, our Ning County magistrate has been killed by Yehe Wang of Xianbei left, and now the county town is full of Xianbei and Wuhuan people." ”

"Wait until dawn tomorrow to leave, go back to Guangyang County or Yuyang County, and if the Wuhuan people come to ask, I will order the villagers and never let them reveal your whereabouts."

"Just ...... I have repaid you for saving your lives today. The old village chief sighed solemnly.

Previously, Xu Yue guessed that the villagers were hiding some news, but she didn't expect it to be such a big thing.

Wu Huan, the second or fifth boy, has always jumped between Xianbei and Daqing repeatedly, whichever side is stronger, he will be attached to which side.

There are a lot of Wuhuan people who settle in the north, and almost one-third of the entire Shanggu County are Wuhuan people.

The two tribes of Xianbei and Wuhuan will unite, although Xu Yue was a little surprised, but judging from the past diplomatic history of Daqing, such a thing has not happened.

But now these two tribes are so rampant that they directly kill the magistrate of Ning County and replace him, what this represents is self-evident.

The old village chief said that, he couldn't control what the Xu family wanted to do.

He had done all the reminders he could, told the story, and the guilt in his heart was gone, and he was about to get up and take his leave.

Xu Yue's family got up to see each other off, thinking that the Xianbei and Wuhuan people had secretly occupied Ning County, and this matter was bound to bring unpredictable disasters to the village, Wang Pingping thought about it, and still stopped the old village chief.

"If they come to ask, the village chief, you should tell us the truth, otherwise they will definitely not let you go."

"This ......" the old village chief looked embarrassed, "We are not ungrateful people, if it weren't for a few people who appeared in time to kill those Wuhuan people, I'm afraid we would have died a long time ago, how can we ...... again"

Wang Pingping shook her head and interrupted the old village chief's words and asked him, "Does the village chief know what the situation is in other counties now?" ”

The old village chief shook his head, was stunned again, seemed to remember something, and said uncertainly:

"I heard that group of Wuhuan people scolded a few words, saying that the county lieutenant of Juyong County contacted the border army and hindered them from something, and Juyong County should not have been touched by the Xianbei people?"

The old village chief is just the head of a small village, and all year round, the opportunity to go to the county seat is only counted and the autumn harvest of grain, and it is impossible to know much about the outside situation.

Wang Pingping nodded, did not ask again, only told the old village chief to protect the lives of the whole village, and did not need to deliberately hide their whereabouts for them, which would lead to death.

"If the villagers really think that something has happened to our family, our family will not be at peace in this life, and please ask the village chief to be sure not to hide anything for us." Wang Pingping told again and again uneasily.

The old village chief was so moved that his eyes were red, and he nodded helplessly, "I'm really ashamed of the old man......
