Chapter 34: Entering the village and robbing
"Come on! Catch the thief! ”
"Come on!"
Uncle Sun, a neighbor to the east of Jiang Luo's house, banged the gong and shouted loudly.
At night, the people of the village heard the commotion, picked up hoes and sticks, and rushed out of their homes.
Uncle Sun couldn't react and was arrested by the homeless people who broke into the village, and he wanted to resist being kicked to the ground.
"Old thing, be honest if you don't want to die!" The man in the lead, tall and thin, dressed in shabby muddy clothes, dusty face, long beard, and only a pair of eyes that were as dark as wolves, stared vigilantly at the village in front of him.
Jiang Luo wanted to go out to take a look when he heard the movement, but was stopped by Chen Xianyue.
Such a big movement outside must be dangerous, and she can't let Luo'er take the slightest risk.
Jiang Cheng and Jiang Boning picked up wooden sticks and rushed out of the courtyard door.
There were no more than 20 young boys and older men in a dozen or so families in their village.
They were surrounded by the outcasts who had suddenly broken in.
The homeless people are all staring at them, staring at them, eager to devour these lives in the village in the next moment.
"Hand over your food!"
The leading man, Wu Yong, threatened.
The corner of Uncle Sun's mouth, who fell to the ground, overflowed with blood, and he gritted his teeth and begged for mercy, "Ladies and gentlemen, there are only a few families in our small village, all of them are old and weak and can't even escape from the famine, how can there be any food!"
"Do well, and let us go!"
"Joke! We have seen with our own eyes that the villagers in your village pull vegetables to sell in the county town, if you don't have food, where can you have the leisure to grow vegetables! Wu Yong didn't give up, and the people behind him also coaxed.
"Big brother, we are really hungry and can't walk, these old things are disobedient, it's better to hack two to death and let them know that they are afraid!"
"That's it! Big brother, how can we waste our tongues with them! ”
……
"Everyone, everyone, there is really no food in our village, only vegetables grown in front of and behind the village, if you don't dislike it, just take it."
"Grandpa!"
Uncle Sun's grandson ran to him crying, and was thrown out by the homeless man by the collar.
"Old man, you can't give them these dishes, otherwise we will all starve to death!" The grandmother cried heartbreakingly.
Jiang Cheng hated these bullying weak people, if they really had this backbone, they could go to the city at five o'clock to rob, why bother with these old and weak people in the village!
He reached out and touched it into his arms, and was about to shoot Wu Yong, the leader. He was about to raise his hand when Jiang Luo squeezed behind him from the crowd and stopped him.
"Sister! What are you out for? Go back quickly. Jiang Cheng was nervous.
"Don't kill him."
Dozens of homeless people, you can't kill them all, even if you are ruthless, there are not enough bullets.
Jiang Luo stood on his toes and whispered a few times in his ear. Jiang Cheng was skeptical, there was no better way to do it right now, so he might as well give it a try.
Ignoring Wu Yong's warning, he walked to the front and helped Uncle Sun up.
"Everyone put down their weapons." He said to the people of the village.
The people have all received the favor of the Jiang family, and if they hadn't planted vegetables for the villagers, the people in the village don't know how many people would have starved to death last winter.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and their eyes fell on him.
Jiang Cheng repeated again in a firm tone.
"Let's just listen to Jiang Cheng, if it weren't for his family, we wouldn't have survived the winter." I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and the village put down their weapons one after another.
Wu Yong couldn't stop laughing, these stupid villagers must be afraid, thinking that they could survive by showing weakness?
Jiang Cheng was not afraid of him at all, because he knew that he could take Wu Yong's dog life in an instant.
"Your name is Wu Yong, right? Now that we are tied, we do not have the food you want, but it has only just been planted and will not be harvested until autumn. ”
"As for these vegetables and radishes in the village, you can take them all if you want."
"It's just that you have to be clear about one thing, after eating these things, you can only wait for death."
Wu Yong was shocked by his momentum, and the hand holding the wooden stick was a little lower.
"You...... What do you mean? ”
Jiang Cheng glanced at Jiang Luo and continued, "We are all poor people, we should support each other, and you are forced to make a living if you want to rob, we can understand." ”
As he spoke, he helped Uncle Sun to calm down, and his eyes were not left at all to Sun Yong and them.
The homeless people who broke into the village with Sun Yong were moved by his words and couldn't help but feel sad.
Their wives and children are still waiting outside the village, waiting for food to eat.
"We don't want to kill people either, you just have to hand over the food obediently! We'll leave right away. Wu Yong's voice was a little lower.
"All the grain has been planted." Jiang Chengdao.
"You ghost! On such a dry day, what is the difference between planting the ground and throwing it away? ”
The short man behind Wu Yong scolded.
"If you don't believe me, you can go into the village and search for it. But after searching, the meaning is different. Jiang Cheng is kind and seductive.
"Actually, it's not difficult for you to live, you can stay and farm with us. As long as you are diligent, you will never starve to death. ”
Jiang Cheng walked up to Wu Yong and whispered, "Your family members who stayed outside the village have been invited in, and you don't want to die in the net, right?" ”
"Little thing! You! "He's going to make a move.
Jiang Cheng cleverly dodged the stick he swung over, and shot him in the arm with a backhand. He screamed, his face changed, and he fell to his knees.
"It's not unconditional to let you stay, if you can't restrain these people you bring into the village, you'll have to die. But if you know how to behave in a proper manner, then we will be neighbors who love each other in the future. ”
Wu Yong almost fainted in pain, he endured the pain, and looked at the black thing in Jiang Cheng's hand in fear, "I promise, I promise to stay, I just ask you to give us a bite to eat." ”
"My brothers and sisters all fled from the same village, and we ...... We were uprooted and just wanted to survive. ”
When everyone saw Wu Yong say this, they were immediately so frightened that they all knelt on the ground, and promised to stay and behave properly.
Jiang Luo handed Wu Yong a bottle of wound medicine and asked him to help him treat the wound.
Uncle Sun and the villagers had some opinions in their hearts, but they were not the opponents of Wu Yong and these homeless people, so they could only acquiesce to let them stay.
The old and weak women and children waiting outside the village also followed into the village, and Uncle Sun beckoned the people in the village to cook them two large pots of green vegetable and radish soup.
Everyone thanked Dade and ate it with tears.
It's not that they didn't go to the city of five o'clock to beg, but the people in the city couldn't get used to them, they couldn't get food, and some people moved their minds that they shouldn't have, and went to steal and rob, but if they were caught, even if they just stole a steamed bun, they would be killed.
They were desperate, so they set their minds on this village.
