Tonight is destined to be a night that can not make people sleep peacefully, the lights have been turned off at this time, Liu Dayong walked in the village, or can occasionally hear the whispers from the cottage, looking at the mountains and forests around the village at night, although he can't see anything, listening to the occasional wolf howl from the mountains and forests, he is also nervous, no one knows whether the wolves will attack tonight, if these animals have come to attack the village, he will resist with peace of mind, one mind to fight, to protect the villagers and his wife and children, that is better than always hanging his heart to make him feel better now。

"Dayong!!"

Liu Dayong looked back and saw the old village chief standing not far behind him, his somewhat vague and emaciated figure seemed to be even thinner, Liu Dayong not only wondered, did he also feel haggard because of nervousness and anxiety.

In the face of a big crisis, it is really easy for people to become more vulnerable. Perhaps, when the wolves invaded the village, the old village chief would not hesitate to pick up a knife or steel fork and rush over to fight those animals, and because of this, he would entrust the responsibility of the village chief to Jiang He tonight. Have the ancestors of the village chiefs of Liujia Village been preparing for such a moment all the time, and if they become the village chief, can they put down all their burdens at this time and be willing to shed the last drop of blood for the village?

"Old village chief, why haven't you slept yet, it's good to have me here. ”

"I can't sleep, get up and take a look, and look at the village again, it's been a long time since I've had a good look around the village like this. ”

The old village chief said, taking the cigarette gun and knocking off the cigarette ash on the bottom of his heel, pinning the cigarette gun to his waist.

Walking up to Liu Dayong, the old village chief patted Liu Dayong on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Let's go, Dayong, find a place to sit and sit, let's talk well." ”

Liu Dayong followed the village chief to the martial arts training ground in the east of the village, and the two circled around the field, and the old village chief's heavy mood made Liu Dayong unable to say anything comforting. The two sat down on a stone on the side.

Sitting there, the old village chief said to Liu Dayong: "Dayong, do you know how many years this martial arts training ground in the village has?"

Liu Dayong said: "I don't know. ”

The old village chief smiled faintly and said to him, "I don't know either, but I know that this martial arts training ground is as long as our Liujia Village. Our village can exist in Heiyunling for such a long time, and we can live a better life than the people in other villages, just because we have this martial arts training ground, and none of the men in other villages can be braver and more capable than those in our village. ”

Liu Dayong looked at the old village chief, and felt that the old village chief's originally slightly bent back seemed to straighten up, remembering that this time he went into the mountains to hunt was mainly his own idea, and the route was also chosen by himself, but now it has brought such trouble to the village, Liu Dayong felt a little guilty in his heart.

Liu Dayong said: "I'm sorry, old village chief, if I hadn't made my own decision to get close to Moyun Mountain this time, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened." ”

The old village chief said: " Dayong, I don't blame you, for you, having the courage to break through is not a disadvantage, but an advantage, you can't rush to say that you are wrong because of this accident, I just told you that living in this deep mountain, danger will be there every moment, and our generations of people have also come from this danger, your father is the youngest in our generation, but he died first in this black cloud ridge, and like him for the whole village died in this mountain people do not know how many, they are all good men, although they died, but their sacrifice in exchange for the survival of our village for hundreds of years, you are I watched grow up, can endure hardships, have energy, the young people in the village also recognize you, you are very similar to me when I was young, you were the best candidate for the village head?!"

Liu Dayong was stunned when he heard this, raised his head and said, "Old village chief!"

The old village chief said: "However, as the village head, I must first look at things in the long run of the village, especially in such a big matter as choosing the village head. Although our Liujia Village relies on the spirit of hard work, bravery, not afraid of hardship, dare to shed blood and not be afraid of death, and gain a foothold in this mountain forest, however, every generation of our people have people who have thrown their lives on this Black Cloud Ridge, as the village head, how can I bear to watch everyone risk their lives in this mountain to eat as before, now it is different, Lao Yan took the river to meet Hu Ye, I saw hope, others can live a stable life without risking their lives, why can't we, now everyone may have the opportunity to leave this mountain forest, live a life of peace and contentment, how can we let it go。 At this time, it is necessary to find a well-informed person who is good at dealing with people to be the village head, and I have thought about it many times, and Jiang He is the most suitable person for the village head in terms of contact with people. ”

Liu Dayong really didn't expect the old village chief to think so long-term, he never thought about this problem. At this time, he suddenly thought about this matter, but he couldn't see any possible direction, and to be honest, he really didn't want to leave his current village.
