Chapter 39 Village Chief Du is Questioned

Chen's voice was too loud and attracted people from Huojia Village. When they saw that it was this woman causing trouble again, all the women gathered around.

They didn't do anything to Chen and Qiu, but just surrounded them and glared at them angrily.

Yao Meixian and Du Jiang still ignored it and let their daughter handle the household affairs. They were not good at talking and had no strength, and they could not win by scolding or fighting. They just stayed aside and did not make trouble, which was the best silent support for their daughter.

Du Wenjun, Du Wenguan and the two brothers Du Wen and Huo felt warm in their hearts when they saw that everyone from Huojia Village came to help them.

They knew that it was the eldest sister's credit. It was she who led the village protection team to kill the bandits, and it was she who treated the wounded in the village.

Otherwise, people wouldn't come to help outsiders like them.

Once the commotion broke out here, the thirty or so people from Dujia Village could no longer sit still. They ran over like crazy and surrounded Du Jiang's family.

They thought this was a great opportunity. The people of Dujia Village had a grudge against the people of Huojia Village. The people of Huojia Village killed them, the northerners, and they must pay the price.

It would be even better if they taught the people of Huojia Village a lesson, causing a fight between the two villages. Not only would they avenge the deaths of their compatriots, but they could also kill the people of Wei, killing two birds with one stone.

As soon as the scout appeared, the village protection team appeared and surrounded the thirty or so people. Chen and Qiu saw those people coming to help them teach Du Jiang's family a lesson, and a trace of joy and gloating appeared on their faces.

The village chief picked up these people on the road. He originally did not agree to let them stay behind, but later, after more than 30 people paid a fee of one or two taels of silver each, the village chief agreed.

Although thirty or so taels of silver is not much, and each household will not get much, it is better than nothing. It is just letting them follow behind the villagers, there is no loss, and they can also share the money, who would not be happy?

Now that they see the people from Huojia Village bullying them, those thirty or so people can come and stand up for them. Isn't that good? It's not in vain that they were taken in.

When the gangsters saw that the members of the Huojia Village protection team were holding the large machetes equipped by the military, their eyes widened and they started fighting with them ferociously.

Du Wanwan quickly grabbed the small stones in her hand and threw them out one after another, making the monsters run away with their heads in their hands, taking care of their upper bodies but not their lower bodies.

The members of the village protection team had already fought with the bandits once, and when they saw the bandits show a weakness, they picked up their machetes and started hacking at them.

Suddenly, blood gushed out and screams were heard one after another. Chen and Qiu were so scared that they hugged each other and trembled.

Chen kept shouting, "Murder, murder, murder."

Qiu's throat had just been freed and she couldn't shout. She just hugged Chen tightly, her whole body shaking like a sieve.

The women of Huojia Village had seen the men bravely kill the enemy, and when they saw it a second time, they no longer had any fear. They knew that these thirty or so people were all traitors and should be killed.

If I keep them, who knows who will die in the future, maybe even me. It would be best to get rid of them. If I keep such a scourge, I won't dare to close my eyes when I sleep.

"Shut up! Do you know who we killed in Huojia Village? You brainless idiots, you are hanging out with the thieves, aren't you afraid that they will wipe out your entire village?"

"You people in Dujia Village are so shameless that you actually brought the little boy in here. You want to be a refugee of a fallen country."

"I don't know what benefit the people of Dujia Village got from the Qiezi, otherwise why did they let the Qiezi army lag behind?"

Chen and Qiu were completely shocked after hearing what the woman from Huojia Village said. Are these people they picked up on the road the Jizi Army? Oh my God! If this is true, then aren't all the villagers in their village under the surveillance of the Jizi Army?

Seeing how fiercely they fought with the guards of Huojia Village, they really didn't look like country folk. Their actions were very brutal, and the villagers couldn't possibly have such skills.

When a commotion broke out here, the village chief of Dujia Village rushed over with the young and strong men of Dujia Village. Seeing that the people of Huojia Village were dealing with the group of ragged people they had picked up, he did not let the people of Dujia Village help for the time being.

After all, the people in Huojia Village all had knives in their hands, and they couldn't fight them with just poles and hoes. Also, that group of people were not from Dujia Village, and being beaten to death or injured had nothing to do with Dujia Village.

Who knows what they did to offend the people in Huojia Village? If they get involved, they will be punished as well. Wouldn't that be unfair?

I got more than thirty taels of silver from them at the beginning, but so what? They were willing to give it, and no one forced them.

Although the thirty or so knights had received professional training, they were no match for the large numbers of people in Huo Village, nor for Du Wanwan's superb stone-throwing skills.

She and the village protection team seemed to have been trained and worked closely together. Anyone who was hit by a stone or was a little slow would be hit by the machetes in their hands.

Whether it was cutting off the hands and feet or cutting the back of the shoulder armor, there were many injuries with torn skin and blood gushing out.

The person throwing the stones was very skillful and specifically chose to throw them at their people.

With a "swoosh" sound, the person being beaten felt numb in his hands and feet and became slow to react. The machete continued to move forward, causing him to feel pain on his body and bleed profusely.

The Qizi army had always been invincible and had seldom suffered such a loss. In desperation, they began to scream and shout, speaking the language of the northern Qizi.

Upon hearing this, the faces of Chen, Qiu, and everyone in Dujia Village changed drastically.

They really brought a bunch of scoundrels in! If this is reported to the court, it will be a capital crime.

The captain of the village protection team ordered his men: "Du Dalang said, leave one person alive, don't kill them all."

"yes!"

Everyone in the village protection team agreed.

In their minds, as long as it was Du Dalang's order, they had to do it. She said to leave one person alive, and she had to leave one alive.

Du Wanwan observed for a while, pointed at the guard in the middle, and shouted: "Leave him here, he is the leader of these people, he knows more things."

"yes!"

The members of the village protection team, including their captain, all answered in unison.

This scene made the head of Dujia Village and the Chen and Qiu families completely dumbfounded. They never dreamed that a disaster star could actually give orders to the people of Huojia Village.

What did the disaster star do, and why would the people in Huojia Village listen to her?

Huo Si'en was afraid that the head of Dujia Village would lead people to help Qiezi, so he walked towards them with several respected elders from Huojia Village.

"Who is the village chief of Dujia Village?" He swept his eyes over everyone in Dujia Village, his majesty unquestionable, "You can see that the person behind you is not a real refugee, nor is he from our Great Wei, but a Qizi."

Another old man said with an unhappy expression: "You people from Dujia Village are really capable. You actually brought the bully with you on the road. Tell me, what benefits did they give you?"

"If the Qi people hadn't invaded our Great Wei, would we have to flee from famine? Would we have to abandon our homes and flee? Have your consciences been eaten by dogs? Why are you helping the Qi people bully our own people?"
