Chapter 143: Temptation to Profit
Ouyang Feng nodded, put on a smile on his face and said to the fat village chief, "Village chief, can you take a step to speak?" The fat village chief smiled, walked a little away with Ouyang Feng, and looked at Ouyang Feng with a smile.
Ouyang Feng hesitated for a moment, he really couldn't think of any good words, so he simply got straight to the point and said, "Village Chief, I heard that the relationship between your Jiyu Village and Guanlan Village is not very good, and you are often oppressed by them. β
The fat village chief still maintained a calm smile: "Actually, it's good to get used to, although Guanlan Village is domineering, at least it leaves us a way to live, and I don't have any competitive intentions, just be alive." β
From the fat village chief's words, Ouyang Feng could hear that the other party had roughly guessed the purpose of his coming, so he said so well that Ouyang Feng was not given a chance to continue.
Ouyang Feng is not a person who gives up so easily, and said with a hippie smile: "Village Chief, even if you think so, but do the people in the village think like you? Are they willing to live a life of being bullied like this? Not really? Besides, we have also analyzed before, people's greed can never be satisfied, and those guys in Guanlan Village are no exception.
The fat village chief said with a smile: "Let's talk about it later, I'm old and don't have the energy to worry about the future." β
The fat village chief didn't go in with oil and salt, Ouyang Feng gritted his teeth in anger, and simply stopped beating around the bush, and sneered: "I won't talk about the reason, you can make a price, how many spars are you willing to send people to support Luoshui Village." β
Although the fat old man had roughly guessed the purpose of Ouyang Feng's trip, Ouyang Feng couldn't help but be stunned when he said it so directly. Silence ensued. That's it. The fat village chief also had to think carefully.
After a while, the fat village chief seemed to have made a decision, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency's request is really beyond my expectations, I can't make decisions alone in this kind of major matter, I think so, a few of you will go to our Jiyu Village to rest first, and I will discuss with the people in the village and then give Your Excellency an answer?"
The words of the fat village chief had already conveyed some kind of information, and Ouyang Feng also knew that the so-called discussion was actually perfunctory. It's just a pretext so that both sides won't hurt their faces.
Ouyang Feng didn't have time, squinted his eyes and glanced at the fat village chief and said, "Village chief, I won't talk about anything else, I believe you know your situation better than me, if Luoshui Village can't escape this time, your other villages will also have the same fate in the near future." β
Ouyang Feng slapped himself, feeling that he was still too verbose: "Village Chief, don't talk about those useless things, I just want to ask you, how many crystals do you need before you are willing to send someone to help?" Take out two medium-grade spars and stuff them to the fat village chief.
Although the fat village chief was greedy for money, he didn't take it this time. He knows what money can be taken and what money will burn when he takes it. Ouyang Feng smiled faintly, opened the spar bag and shook it in front of the fat village chief's eyes and said, "Have you seen these spars?" As long as you are willing to help, these spars are all yours." β
The fat village chief's eyes widened, he could see clearly just now, the bag was full of medium-grade spars, not to mention more than a dozen pieces, or even more, he didn't expect the other party to make such a big deal.
Ouyang Feng saw the fat village chief's surprised expression and felt slightly relieved, since the fat village chief still has ** for spars, then he still has a chance: "Village chief, here are twenty medium-grade spars, that is, two thousand lower-grade spars, what will happen if your village has these spars, I believe you know better than me." β
The fat village chief hesitated, although two thousand spars are not a lot, but they are definitely a lot, saving enough money for two hundred people in their village to live for a year, and it is still the kind of life without worrying about food and clothing, and if they have this spar, they will be able to buy more weapons and protective gear, if the whole village can be armed, the ability to protect themselves will be greatly improved, at that time, even Guanlan Village will not dare to provoke themselves easily.
Think about the kind of carefree and peaceful pastoral life with other villages that those elders remember, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, although that kind of life is ordinary but very comfortable, the fat village chief misses it very much.
After a long time, the fat village chief sighed and said: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to help, but I don't have the ability to help, think about it, what kind of strength are the villages headed by Guanlan Village? Any one of them is more than ten times stronger than our Jiyu Village, or even more, how can we fight against them? I have to think about the people in the village." Have you thought about it, not to mention whether we can get Luoshui Village by sending people from Jiyu Village, and even if we succeed by luck, what will we do later? Will Guanlan Village let us go? Who will come back to help us when the time comes? Luoshui Village? Even if they get out of the crisis this time, how many people will they have left? What else can they help?"
Ouyang Feng had also considered this, and the fat village chief's worry was not unreasonable, Ouyang Feng pondered for a long time, and said fiercely: "Then have you ever thought about what would become of the Green Jedi without Guanlan Village?"
The fat old man glanced at Ouyang Feng deeply, and then said with a wry smile: "I have thought about it, and I have been thinking about it, but what can I do? Your Excellency, I know what you think, it's not that no one has tried it before, but what is their result? Alas, I think this matter is still over, you better go find other villages, I don't want to take the villagers of Jiyu Village to risk, living is the fundamental." β
Ouyang Feng retorted: "Can you live without resisting? Village Chief, aren't you absolutely naΓ―ve what you think? Okay, let me be honest with you, we discussed with Harris just now, they have now gone to contact other villages, no more, as long as half of the villages dare to stand up and resist, it is not an extravagant hope to defeat Guanlan Village and his minions." β
The fat village chief was completely stunned, according to what Ouyang Feng said, if it really succeeded, then the Green Field Jedi would undergo earth-shaking changes.
After pondering for a long time, the fat village chief still sighed and said, "Alas, so what? Even if Guanlan Village is destroyed, there will be another Guanlan Village, and the result will not be the same at that time?"
Ouyang Feng understood the fat village chief's worries very well, just like he said, even without Guanlan Village and their minions, Green Field would definitely return to its previous calm and serenity, but how long could this situation last? There will always be some villages that become stronger and more greedy, and eventually they will still become like Guanlan Village.
Ouyang Feng really didn't want to delay any longer, and he had to open a breakthrough, so that Harris would be more convincing when they found other villages to send troops, and gritted his teeth fiercely: "One price, ten thousand lower grade spars, I believe that so much money is enough for your entire village to live very well anywhere, I can also give you an additional two thousand spars, how about it?" Think about it, as long as you are willing to help, the money is yours." As he spoke, he stuffed the spar bag into the arms of the fat village chief, staring at the fat village chief without blinking, nervously waiting for the other party's reply.
Ten thousand spars, but it is not a decimal, it is enough for the entire Jiyu Village to live well outside the Jedi, so that even if this operation fails, the Jiyu Village can leave the Green Field Jedi with this spare, and no longer have to worry about the retaliation of Guanlan Village, which solves their worries.
The fat village chief was really moved, but he became more and more puzzled in his heart, if Ouyang Feng couldn't give a reasonable explanation, the fat village chief still wouldn't send someone to support Luoshui Village: "Your Excellency, I'm curious, why do you spare so much effort to help Luoshui Village?
Now, Ouyang Feng didn't need to hide anything, so he simply nodded and said, "It's a bit related, you said before that a certain big man in Guanlan Village fell in love with those beautiful girls in Luoshui Village, do you remember?"
The fat village chief nodded: "Well, this is also the root cause of this conflict. Why? Are you interested in those girls?"
Ouyang Feng shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Those beautiful girls are my friends, very good friends, not what you think, don't look at me with that kind of eyes." β
The fat village chief looked incredulous, Ouyang Feng rolled his eyes and said, "No matter what you think, I must save them out." β
The fat village chief became more and more suspicious: "In this case, you can go to Luoshui Village and leave secretly with those friends of yours, this place is so big, even if the people of Guanlan Village know about it, it will not be easy to find you, as long as you are fast enough, won't it be okay to leave here before the closure of this Jedi?"
Ouyang Feng said awe-inspiringly: "You are right, but if we really do that, what should Luoshui Village do? They have always taken care of my friends, and even at this time, they have never given up, and have never handed them over to Guanlan Village, if I do that, it will be too unrighteous, so this time I will not only rescue my friends, but also help Luoshui Village solve this crisis." β
The fat village chief thought for a moment, and then asked: "Even so, you don't have to go through such a big effort, with your financial resources, you can take those people from Falling Water Village out of the Green Field Jedi, and just give them a little spar to make their lives better, what are you doing this for?"
This question really stumped Ouyang Feng, what was it for, he didn't know it himself, could it be that he had really changed?
Ouyang Feng couldn't answer the fat village chief's question, and he didn't want to make up an excuse casually: "Things are already like this, there is not enough time, there is no chance to turn back, village chief, you give a happy word, do you plan to help?"
The fat village chief hesitated for a moment, looked down at the spar in his arms, and said after a long silence: "If it's really like what you said, I can help, but I'm talking about if."
