A day later, Tukhor returned from Kawa with Ferrejo and the villagers who had just joined the Officers' League, along with three soldiers who knew how to provide first aid on the battlefield, as well as several truckloads of herbs, dry rations, and wounded cloths.

The return of Tukuo and the others was originally a happy event for everyone, but there were so many things that happened in just a few days, and the entire village, including the faces of Tukuo and the others, was covered with a thick layer of haze.

Time flies, almost a month has passed since Tatukuo returned from Kawa City.

This month's time was relatively calm for Shi Cheng and the others. Although what happened in the village was also tormenting their hearts, Shi Cheng and the three of them were still outsiders to this village after all, and it was still impossible for people who were not here to fully empathize with the local villagers.

But for the villagers who were born and died in Si, the pain in their hearts is far more than Shi Chengsan's several times.

After more than ten days, the lack of medical care and the damp heat of Rainforest Island finally took the life of this tenacious young man.

After Maiboni's death, Shi Cheng locked himself in the hut of the medical hall for several days, rarely saw people, and sometimes even after a whole day, Shi Cheng didn't say a word, didn't eat, no matter how Wu Neng persuaded him, it had no effect.

But Tie Mian could see that since Maiboni's death, although no one in the villagers blamed Shi Cheng, Shi Cheng was afraid to meet the villagers, especially Maiboni's parents.

In addition to death, other terrifying things also ensued in the newborn Xianyou Village.

Xianyou Village is not a completely self-sufficient village, some of the food and daily necessities need to be bought from other villages and the market in Kawa City, after the mountains and forests are opened to the villagers, hunting in the mountains during the hunting period allowed by the government has also become an important sideline for many villagers' families, so the new demand for making hunting bows and other hunting supplies is also on the table.

However, in less than a month, the villagers found that they could get less and less things from the outside.

First of all, there was suddenly no more to buy in the market in Kawa City, and then the villagers in the nearby villages stopped selling grain to the outside world.

After losing the village's fields and goods, the threat of scarcity and famine is imminent.

The time has finally come for people to panic.

Of course, the former village chief Jika is certainly not one of these people, he has been very active these days, running every day to cry at the cemetery outside the north entrance of the village, where all the villagers who died during this time are buried. In addition to this, Jika and his relatives began to openly delay the execution of Junda's order, and the chubby former village chief suddenly came back to life, like a fat rooster who had won a fight, no longer the wilted turnip when the rebels first entered the village.

Only the little military doctor Fei Rejo quarreled with Jika because he couldn't stand it, Tukuo and the others didn't have time to worry about him, there were a lot of things that made them anxious during this time, and Jika also showed his shrewd side during this time, although many methods seemed excessive, but the degree was well grasped and did not really cross the line.

At the same time, all kinds of rumors spread inexplicably in the countryside.

Most of the rumors say that the rebels have offended the foreigners so badly that the foreigners, in anger, have summoned the spirits of the gods and sent heavenly punishment down on all the villages.

It is also rumored that this was not the work of outsiders, but that the rebels had fallen after entering the city, and that the goods that had disappeared in the bazaar had been appropriated by the officers of the Officers' League.

There are even rumors that the Master who was ousted from power before is actually a blessed person with the protection of the gods, and the rebels executed him against the will of the gods, and he will naturally be punished.

But no matter what, the reality of the sharp shortage of materials in the past month has made everyone's hearts roll.

Shi Cheng and the three naturally heard these rumors, and the three of them were still relatively clear about the current situation, and they also came forward to help Tukuo and others explain the current situation to the villagers, but this time, Shi Cheng and the others, who were originally very prestigious among the villagers, were still powerless to stop the spread of rumors.

No matter how powerful Shi Cheng was, he couldn't conjure up what the villagers needed.

……

"Village Chief, are you looking for me?" Ferrejo pushed open the door of Tukor's house and walked into the small room that Tukhor used to handle business on weekdays.

"Little Bean, you're here." Tukuo put down the bark paper in his hand and stood up, "I'm going to go to Kawa City again these days, and after I leave, Teso will be in charge of the affairs of the village for the time being, and you can also help share more." ”

Ferrejo bit his lower lip and asked, "Village Chief, is something big going to happen?" ”

Tukuo said helplessly: "We are already in the midst of a big event, and this alliance meeting may be very difficult to open." ”

"Will we surrender to the Wei people?"

"Will you surrender?" Tuko looked at Ferrejo earnestly and asked rhetorically.

"If we surrender, will we go back to the old days when the village chief Hun family could also skin at will?"

Tukuo nodded, "I heard that after joining the army, you little ghost also took the initiative to learn a lot from your superiors, so you should have some understanding of the consistent style of the Wei people and the virtues of the puppets they raised in the past in Rainforest Continent." ”

"I will not surrender!" Ferrejo's eyes reasserted.

Tukuo nodded, patted the little military doctor on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Yes, we can't surrender, if we surrender, we will lose all hope, if there is no hope, what is the purpose of everything we have done since the uprising?" ”

Speaking of this, Tukuo raised his head and patted Ferrejo's shoulder again, "Little ghost, go back and be busy with you, there is a lot to discuss in this meeting, I'm afraid I will have to go for more than ten days to come back this time, and I have worked hard for you people left behind during this time." The work of opening up new fields to the east of the village must be carried out quickly, and the progress is too slow. Also, arrange for Akas and his team to join the main army in Kawa City as soon as possible, those villages in the east are more badly damaged, and they are very short of manpower to help, and now is a critical moment, and the brothers and sisters in Kawa's mother's arms must help each other. ”

After explaining some important things, Tukou said, "That's right, Little Bean. Shi Cheng, Wu Neng and Tie Mian are all very knowledgeable and capable people, if there is anything you don't understand, ask them humbly, especially Shi Cheng Yishi, do you know? ”

Ferrejo nodded, gave a military salute, and left.

……

"Old Shi, the little military doctor is back. I said, "Why are you in this place?" Wu Neng climbed onto the roof of the cabin and saw Shi Cheng who was looking at the sky in a daze, and Shi Cheng's mood had been very low during this time.

The hut where the two of them lived was one of the sturdy buildings in the village, built just a hundred steps east of the village medicine hall, and used to be a "banquet hall" used by Jika to entertain visitors to Kawa City.

"Old Wu, you're here. Let Ferejo rest for a while, and I'll go down soon. ”

"I've already moved a chair for him." Wu Neng climbed up as he spoke, "Lao Shi, it's been a month, although my heart is also very uncomfortable, but we still have to cheer up and look to the future, you are the backbone of the three of us." ”

Wu Neng's words were a little stumbling, he had rarely comforted others like this in the past.

"Cheer up......" Shi Cheng shook his head, he looked at the medical hall not far away, and after a while, sighed, "Old Wu, in fact, I have already figured out our current situation, but I can't accept the reality in my heart." ”

Wu Neng was a little confused, and asked, "Old Shi, what do you mean?" ”

"Ferrejo is a very smiling young man, Tukou is a very responsible village chief, and Teso is also a good soldier. It's just that...... The hearts of the people are scattered, the strong enemy is coming, and everything is coming to an end. Shi Cheng lowered his head as he spoke.

Wu Neng also understood what Shi Cheng meant, his voice trembled a little, and said, "Old Shi, what do you mean, the rebels...... Are you going to lose? ”

"Give me a reason why they can still win."

"The villagers are still standing with them."

Shi Cheng shook his head and said: "The foundation of the rebel army in the village is actually very shallow, the previous prestige was accumulated by relying on the Juntian order, and now the land is gone, it will take time for the reclamation of Xintian, and the famine is imminent, what can be used to maintain people's hearts now." People's hearts have actually been in turmoil, haven't you seen how bizarre the rumors in the village have been lately? ”

"Not to mention the external pressure, Lao Wu, the information you brought back from Kawa City is enough for me to restore the current situation, Northern Yulin Continent is the backyard of the Wei people's backyard, and if you offend them here, how long do you think you can hold out with the size and national strength of Kawa Kingdom?"

Wu Neng's face was depressed, although he was very young, he also had a premonition of what Shi Cheng said, but Wu Neng was still a little unwilling, and asked, "Old Shi, can't we really do anything?" ”

"Unless the Jinghai fleet in my hometown sets sail from Shouli Province, crosses the Nanjing Sea, and then travels thousands of miles across the entire Transverse Sea to the coast of Kawa and drives the Wei people away." Shi Cheng couldn't help laughing when he said this, "However, this is unrealistic, not to mention that conflicts between major powers must not be lightly started, and the Cheta Sailor does not have such an exaggerated ocean-going combat capability." ”

Shi Cheng didn't look up, but he turned to say in a very serious tone: "Old Wu, let's talk seriously, the protagonist in the script can decide the life and death of a country at will, but the reality is not the script, we don't care, the rebels are facing a superpower." The waves set off by the whales when they surface are tantamount to a tsunami for the shrimp floating on the water. ”

"But......" Wu Neng sighed, but in the end he couldn't say anything, he squatted on the roof and sat down, his heart was like a mess.
