Chapter 61: Can You Afford to Pay?

There were even people who walked up to the village chief and couldn't help but persuade the village chief: "Village chief, isn't this an extra move?" There hasn't been an accident in our village for so many years, and now the big guys finally have some food, if you get this, won't you have to go door-to-door to raise money? ”

After all, over the years, life has not been peaceful, there are wars everywhere, and because of the drought, there is little food and clothing, and there is no money in the village.

At the thought of having to pay for it, many people in the village complained about it.

"That's right, village chief, our life is so good now, we are envious everywhere, why bother with these things that we have and don't, so that everyone's life starts to be tight again?"

Listening to many discussions from the crowd, the village chief did not react much.

He has been the village chief here for so many years, what kind of wind and waves have he never seen? Now it's just a few gossip.

"I guess everyone can't accept this, the big guys are people who are used to living a good life, so they have forgotten the truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace."

The village chief slowly looked around at the many villagers around him.

"What you said is true, compared to others, our life is simply a fairy-like day, but have you forgotten how Linghua Village died?"

Speaking of Linghua Village, the villagers of Hejia Village couldn't help but think of that fire-filled night, and suddenly shivered fiercely.

That night of slaughter was undoubtedly a nightmare for every villager.

"Village Chief, what are you doing when you mention the matter of Linghua Village? The daylight ones are also weird. ”

"That's right, village chief, something like that hasn't happened once in a few hundred years, and hasn't that group of Gentiles all been killed? I don't think this will necessarily be the case. ”

Linghua Village is the closest to Hejia Village, and they always have contacts on weekdays.

Some villagers secretly went to see it, and when they came back, they fell ill and collapsed in bed and had nightmares for three days and three nights.

Now that the tragic situation in Linghua Village has been sent by the officers and soldiers of the county to clean it up, people who have seen it can't help but feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts when they think of it.

"You are all lucky, now the world is in chaos, there are conscription and wars everywhere, I ask you, if any more foreigners come to our Hejia Village, we are all unarmed villagers who have no room to fight back, how can we deal with that situation again?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was still talking in a whisper suddenly stopped.

The village chief put his hands behind his back and looked calm: "Everyone thinks that the war is far away from us, but this incident in Linghua Village has undoubtedly sounded the alarm for our village, but the situation in our village is more dangerous than that of Linghua Village, after all, in addition to the foreigners, we also have to guard against the villagers of other villages." ”

Some villagers immediately understood the joints when they heard the village chief's words, but after hearing this, some villagers asked with puzzled faces: "Villagers from other villages?" What does this have to do with the villagers in other villages? ”

The village chief didn't expect that he had said everything to this point, but there were still some people who were stubborn, and even if he was silent, he breathed a sigh of relief for a long time before continuing: "We have so much food in our village now, that's all, after all, it is a good thing that can be hidden." ”

"But the rain before is really bizarre, the surrounding villages, our village bears the most rain and dew, and it is also our village's rice that grows the best now, most of them have been tasseled, and now they are about to ripen, and the things in this field, as long as the surrounding villages have eyes, they can be seen, how do you know that others will not covet it? When other villages come to bully our village, will it be something impossible? ”

Upon hearing this, all the villagers were stunned in place, and everyone's eyes were full of fear.

In the past, it was common for villages to compete for food.

Their Hejia Village is the weakest, and they have no idea of other villages to fight them in the past, so they have no experience all along.

This time the grain harvest, everyone only cared about the joy in front of them, and forgot about the potential danger, and now that the village chief mentioned this, everyone was in danger.

"What should we do, village chief? If you form a team now, I'm afraid it won't be too late......"

"Yes, village chief, the number of people in our village is not enough, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous when the time comes......"

The villagers said everything they could, and everyone had a little anxiety on their faces.

"Village chief, you called us over, did you already think of a way?"

Hearing this, the village chief snorted coldly: "There is still a smart person." I have come here this time to inform you that all the young and middle-aged people from all families who are willing to participate in the escort team have come forward, and those who join the escort team will need to come over for training and duty every day, but each person will be paid by the village with a batch of food every month. ”

At the mention of food distribution, the villagers suddenly looked at each other again.

Especially Wang Honghua, when she heard this, she was anxious: "Now that you just sent us food, you won't go back again, right?" Our family has no food to give now, we have lost all our business before, and our house has also been burned, if there is no food, our family will only have a dead end. ”

Wang Honghua and Mrs. He are related by blood, and they are naturally in the same vein, and they are both Pixiu who can enter or leave things.

Xia Chunlian only felt upset when she saw the people in the old mansion now, and when she saw Wang Honghua as a demon, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "Something with shallow eyelids." ”

How much can everyone in the village get out of a little food? When the harvest is in the field, there will be more grain.

But this Wang Honghua is thinking about this bit of food every day, and when the time comes, everyone is reluctant to give food, and if they really encounter other villages coming to loot them, then they really don't want to leave anything.

Not even to mention food, maybe your life has to be here.

It's a pity that everyone in the old mansion is ignorant, blind, and can't think about the problem in the long run.

As soon as they heard this, the other villagers around were immediately unhappy: "Wang Honghua, your family has lost its grain, what does it have to do with the village?" It's not that we hurt you to pay, it's not because you're not greedy enough, you have to take advantage of it. ”

"You ......" Wang Honghua glared at the people around him fiercely, "You are coming here now, you didn't find us by one or two at the beginning, hoping that we would take you, why, now it's backwater?" ”

"Cut, I won't tell you this, we only know that the village has to pay food to ensure our safety, and we have to pay it, otherwise in the end, there will be nothing left, can you afford the loss of the whole village?"
