Chapter 81 Priority entry into the city

The captain of the village protection team's voice was trembling with excitement. He ran faster than anything else and disappeared in a flash.

Huo Si'en clasped his fists and saluted Ye Shiyi: "Thank you! Please wait a moment, sir. We will be there soon."

"Wanwan! Let's go too!" Du Jiang called to his daughter.

"Dad! Go ahead! I'll wait here, for fear that someone will take advantage of the chaos and mess up others' kindness."

After hearing what his daughter said, Du Jiang nodded and left.

He knew what his daughter meant. She was afraid that people from Dujia Village would take advantage of the chaos to establish a relationship with him.

This is good. They have already separated from Dujia Village, and it would be best if they have no contact with each other in the future.

The daughter's worries were not unnecessary. There were many shameless people in Dujia Village.

Huo Si'en called on the people of Huojia Village to gather together: "Everyone, don't sit down anymore, get up quickly, Dalang can lead us into the city first.

Each family took out their household registration documents, prepared them, and held them in hand for easy registration. All the family members, young and old, lined up, and went to the left gate without rushing or pushing.

As soon as the people of Huojia Village started to move, the people of Dujia Village followed suit. Huo Sien was afraid that this would happen, so he told them immediately.

"People from Dujia Village should not follow us from Huojia Village. Whether you can enter the city is not up to us."

He was not a fool. He saw how the people of Dujia Village treated Du Jiang's family. They were able to go to the city thanks to Du Dalang.

What if the people from Dujia Village followed and the military commander ignored them? If they queued at this rate, they might not be able to get a spot until the day after tomorrow.

When the villages were divided, the further back you went, the worse the place you were assigned.

It was a rare opportunity, he couldn't miss it, and he couldn't let the people of Dujia Village mess up this good thing.

When Chief Du heard Huo Sien's call, he knew that it was Du Wanwan who had the ability to lead the people of Huo Village into the city first.

Village Chief Du came to discuss with him: "Chief! Can we speak well to Du Jiang's family and ask him to take us into the city for the sake of our fellow tribesmen?"

The old patriarch's face turned pale: "Let me ask you, who proposed to drive Du Jiang's family out?"

Village Chief Du's face froze, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't remember. It was that everyone said Du Wanwan was a disaster and wanted to beat her to death. Du Jiang's family refused, and some people said they wanted to drive them out. I was just trying to scare him, but I didn't expect it to work."

Speaking of this, Village Chief Du also regretted it. If he hadn't said it so decisively, he wouldn't have lost a pair of palms. It was because Du Wanwan was kind-hearted. If the wolves had attacked Dujia Village that night, who knows how many people would have died.

"You're an idiot. Du Jiang has always loved his daughter. This is no secret in our village." The old patriarch beat his chest and stamped his feet. "You killed me because you said that Du Jiang's family was rebellious and wanted to protect their daughter. They didn't want to escape the famine with us and asked to leave.

I believed it and crossed out their names from the family tree. Wanwan is such a kind-hearted girl, she saved everyone from danger many times. Looking at the entire Dujia Village, whether it is the elders or the younger generations, is there anyone as capable as her? "

At this point, Village Chief Du was filled with regret: "Yes! Dujia Village really can't find such a powerful person. No wonder Du Jiang has always treasured his daughter. It turns out that he knows that his daughter is different from ordinary people."

"I am old and confused too. I drove them out of the village without thinking." The old patriarch remembered that Du Wanwan saved his life, and his eyes were red. "I am too embarrassed to ask that child for help. We treated her like this, why should we ask her to help us?"

Looking at the people of Huojia Village happily packing their luggage, taking out their household registrations, and lining up to walk toward the left city gate, Village Chief Du's eyes were filled with envy.

"I'll go and beg her, whether it works or not, I won't blame her."

"We are too embarrassed to face people, how can we blame others?" The old clan leader felt that what Village Chief Du said was unreasonable. "If you want to talk, lower your attitude and don't look so arrogant. It is reasonable for the child to disagree.

We were the ones who first disappointed the child. They have helped us time and again. What else do we want? The child is thinking of his fellow countrymen and has not left them alone to help. He should be satisfied. "

Village Chief Du nodded, said nothing, and got up and left.

At the city gate, people from Huojia Village were already queuing up to register. Du Jiang's family did not take advantage of their privilege to line up at the front, and as usual, they were at the end of the Dujia Village queue.

Yu Hanyan was behind them. Normally, they were from southern Xinjiang and didn't have to queue up to enter the city. But now it was different. There were too many people fleeing famine, so they had to follow the rules and regulations.

Village Chief Du bent his waist, walked to Du Wanwan, and bowed to her: "Wanwan! Can you help the people of Dujia Village to go into the city?"

"cannot."

Du Wanwan refused outright without saying anything else. There was no need to say anything else, as I believed Village Chief Du understood it in his heart.

"Is there no room for negotiation?" Village Chief Du was unwilling to give up. "We were wrong in the past. We were wrong. We can apologize. We have come all this way for so long. Can you give us a little favor?"

"cannot."

Du Wanwan still refused.

Favor? Who would give favor to the original owner? They were all vicious and ferocious, beating people to death, and they still had the nerve to talk about favor?

Village Chief Du sighed, said nothing more, and turned back. He knew that Du Wanwan would not forgive them, after all, what they did was a bit excessive.

Only after fleeing the famine did they realize that the natural and man-made disasters were not only suffered by the people of their Dujia Village, but also by the people of the entire Wei Dynasty.

Why were they so stupid? Why did they blame all the bad things on a little girl?

The clan leader asked who spread the word that Du Wanwan was a disaster star, who misled them, and caused Dujia Village to lose such a good descendant.

Ever since his hand was bitten off by a wolf and he followed the people of Huojia Village to escape famine, and after seeing Du Wanwan's wisdom and talent, Village Chief Du's character has changed a lot.

She taught the families in Dujia Village to collect bitter grass, and said that the grass could cure many diseases. He didn't believe it at first, but a few days ago he caught a cold and had diarrhea, so his daughter-in-law picked a few plants and boiled them for him to drink.

Although it was extremely bitter, it was really effective. He was cured within an hour after drinking it. His grandson also got better after drinking the bitter medicine when he had a cough.

What a good person she is. Even though the villagers were so cruel to her, she still taught them the life-saving medicine with a pure heart.

"well!"

Returning to the queue, Village Chief Du sat down and sighed deeply.

His wife asked, "Why are you sighing when we are here? Everyone can enter the city, and we can too. We just need to wait patiently for a few days."

"Who in our village spread the rumor that Wanwan was a disaster star?" Thinking of Du Wanwan's ability, Village Chief Du wished he could beat the person who spread the rumor to death.

"Who else could it be? The first person to spread this rumor was Du Hai's wife Chen. Wanwan was still young at the time and said this while washing clothes by the pond. I tried to persuade her not to talk nonsense."

Village Chief Du was puzzled: "Chen? Why is she talking nonsense?"
