vs 36 The story of Wenjia Village

"Young man, come and drink some water. As soon as he sat down, an old woman with half-white hair brought a bowl of water, but Long Feitian noticed that the bowl was missing a big opening.

But looking at the old woman's kind expression, Long Feitian knew in his heart that this was not her intention, but that there were no good bowls at home.

Long Feitian didn't dislike it, took the bowl, and thanked the old woman gratefully, "Thank you, mother-in-law." ”

"A bowl of water, if you don't dislike it, it's fine. The old woman smiled kindly.

After fighting one after another, he was injured and shed a lot of blood, and at this time, Long Feitian was thirsty, so he drank it when he picked it up.

Refreshing and sweet.

"Thank you, mother-in-law. Long Feitian returned the empty bowl to the old man, and the old man even said that he was not polite.

Then the two old men accompanied Long Feitian to chat, from the chat, Long Feitian also knew that the whole village of Wenjia Village was surnamed Wen, and the old man's name was Wen Jiagang, who was the head of this Wenjia Village and the highest person in the village, and the old woman was called Wen E, who was his wife.

Wenjia Village is the only village within a radius of 50 miles, and there were originally many villages, but the two countries were often at war, which made life here very difficult, and the other villages were moved.

"Then why don't you move away too?" Long Feitian asked curiously.

"It's not the same outside as it is here, ordinary people like us are being oppressed everywhere. Before the old man could answer, a big man outside the door said coldly.

"Wen An. Wen Jiagang glared at Dahan, Dahan stopped talking, but the expression on his face was full of grievances, and he turned around and went out again.

Wen Jiagang shook his head and sighed: "Other villages can move out because they are better off than our village, they all have some savings, and after the villagers move out, it is enough to support them until they find a new place to settle down." ”

"But our village can't do it, you can see the situation here, our village usually can't eat enough, how can we have a little savings, once we leave here, we can only starve to death. ”

"That's fine, I still have some gold coins here, I'm sure you'll have enough to get out of here. Long Feitian was moved by the old man's simplicity, took out a handful of gold coins, and gave them to him along with the gold coins that the old man didn't take just now.

But he didn't want the old man's face to sink, he looked at Long Feitian and said sharply: "Young man, you put away the gold coins, I said that if I don't accept it, I won't accept it, my Wen family has always been self-reliant, this is insulting us, if this is the case again, I can only ask you to leave." ”

"Put it away, we won't take your gold. The old woman next to her also said: "If you accept your gold coins, you will be poked in the back by others." ”

Seeing the firm expressions of the two old men, Long Feitian had no choice but to put away the gold coins.

The two old men smiled with satisfaction on their faces, and chatted with Long Feitian again.

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and Dahan Wen'an came again, "The ox cart is ready." ”

"Little brother, the old man knows that you are in a hurry, so he will not keep you. Wen Jia just stood up and said with a kind smile.

"Thank you, old man. Long Feitian bowed to the two old men and went out with Wen An.

The ox cart is very simple, it is a civilian cart pulling goods, with two wheels and a board on it, which is pulled up by oxen.

As soon as Long Feitian and Wen An got into the ox cart, as soon as the whip in Wen An's hand sounded, the ox galloped away on all fours.

As soon as he got in the car, Long Feitian was busy running the Dragon Spirit to heal his injuries, and he didn't talk to Wen An, you must know that rushing back to face another big battle, and he must now make his injuries as good as possible.

After an hour, the sky gradually darkened, but fortunately it was a good day, and it was half a moon, and the moonlight was scattered on the ground like silver sand, illuminating the road brightly.

"What a weirdo to fall asleep like this. Seeing Long Feitian sitting there with his eyes closed and motionless, Wen An muttered, but Long Feitian didn't pay attention to him at all.

Feeling bored, Wen An no longer paid attention to Long Feitian and concentrated on catching up the ox cart.

A few hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already half of the night, Long Feitian, who had closed his eyes tightly, opened his eyes slightly, looked at Wen An in front of him, and said, "Brother Wen An, what time is it?"

"Ugly. Wen An said lukewarmly, and muttered softly, "I thought you could sleep all the time!"

"Hehe......"

Long Feitian smiled indifferently, didn't care about it, and asked, "Can you tell me why your village hasn't moved out?"

"Didn't my father tell you that we have no savings and will starve to death as soon as we leave the village. Wen An said in an indifferent tone, but Long Feitian felt a wave of anger from it.

"I know there are other reasons. Long Feitian smiled indifferently and said, "If you are willing to tell me, maybe I can help you." ”

"Can you help us?" Wen An looked at Long Feitian in surprise, a flash of disdain in his eyes.

"You can say it first, you didn't say it, how do you know that I can't help you?" Long Feitian said with a smile.

Wen An was silent, as if he was thinking about whether Long Feitian could really help them, and after a while, he sighed in his heart, "Maybe he can really help us?"

With a glimmer of hope, Wen An talked about the village, originally around there, there were a total of more than a dozen villages, although they were not big, but each village also had hundreds of people, because they were located on the border between the two countries, and the wars continued, their lives were much more miserable than the villagers in other places, but they could finally get by.

But just five years ago, someone discovered a mineral deposit in the mountains ten miles east of Wenjia Village, and soon a group of strongmen came, and as soon as this group of strongmen occupied the mine, they issued an order to several surrounding villages, asking each village to send 100 villagers to help them mine.

Mining is nothing, but those people do not pay anything, and even the food is very poor, and the amount of labor is large, and many villagers are tired, and each village suddenly loses a hundred years of life, and no one grows the crops in the family, so that everyone's harvest is greatly reduced.

There was really no way, so the village chiefs were ready to discuss with those strong men whether to reduce some labor to mine, or the other party to give some compensation, so that they could live their lives.

Unexpectedly, the gang of strongmen not only did not negotiate with them, but even beat up the people they went to negotiate, and the village chiefs of two villages died shortly after they returned.

Through this incident, everyone completely understood that those strongmen did not regard them as human beings at all, and were completely slaves working for them, and some villages quietly made up the idea of leaving.

Thinking together, everyone's movements were very fast, and they were ready in only half a month, and they recruited people back on the grounds that the previous group of people had been digging mines for a month, and their bodies couldn't stand it anymore, and they wanted to change a batch.

And the gang of strongmen also considered that if everyone died, there would be no one to help them mine in the future, so they let everyone go back and let them replace the group, and the previous group of people could recover.
