The village chief finally waited until Su Nanxi had some free time. Well, not entirely free, though, because she needed to eat!

The village chief ate some fruit and pastries, but felt embarrassed to eat any more of the Mo family's food, and refused to come any closer no matter what they said.

The Mo family went along with him, knowing he wouldn't go back so soon until he finished talking, so they moved a stool for him to sit on.

That way he can chat without having to get close!

Su Nanxi knew why the village chief had come, and before he could ask, she began to speak.

"The village chief wants to know what's going on outside, right? I stayed in town for a few days and did get some news, but the villagers might not be aware of it yet. Now that the village chief is here, let's tell him! It's nothing more than a severe drought, rising prices, and the gradual emergence of unrest. We had foreseen all of this before. What we need to do next is still the same work, but time is probably very tight!"

The village chief didn't disbelieve it; he had already guessed some of it himself, because more people fleeing famine had come to the village, running away to relatives they had no connection with at all!

Anyway, it's all a roundabout way of saying that as long as there's some connection, they're all relatives, and all ideal people to run away from!

This is not a good sign!

The increasing number of people arriving indicates that the same situation will likely occur here as well!

It's just a little later than the south!

With more people, there will be more problems, and the number of messy, unresolved issues will only increase!

In order to stockpile goods, the villagers naturally wouldn't give way to outsiders. Without food and water and unable to obtain them through legal channels, outsiders would take risks to survive, and theft and robbery might occur!

Their village, Changna, is considered a blessed place, a truly auspicious village. It seems as if something is protecting the villagers from the unseen world!

Looking around, which of the nearby villages is as good as Changna Village?

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they have exceptional advantages; as long as they work hard, they'll never starve!

There are plenty of wild animals, medicinal herbs, and wild vegetables near the mountains, and there are rivers and waterwheels for irrigation. Now the water level has dropped to the bottom, so there is no way to pump water. But that doesn't mean it's useless!

The village has also developed small industries, and most people have income, something that other villages would never dare to dream of!

But everyone in their village has it; they are very lucky and very happy!

They have gained so many advantages and conditions that their survival ability is much stronger than that of other villages!

They are content and grateful, but some are stubborn and don't believe in new things, are unwilling to change, and are even less willing to plan for their future!

Those people were all lying flat, and there was no way to help them. You couldn't even find a hand to help them up!

There's nothing we can do!

The contradictions are already beginning to emerge, and when it comes to a life-or-death situation, the accumulated contradictions will definitely erupt!

well!

The village chief was also helpless. After thinking for a while, he felt that he still needed to hold another meeting to make a final struggle, no, I mean, to make a final effort!

We urge everyone not to let their guard down. Having time to stock up is a blessing from heaven, as some people haven't even had a chance to start stocking up yet!

When the villagers saw the village chief come out, they all rushed over.

The village chief was deep in thought and hadn't noticed the large number of people waiting outside. The sudden sight of so many figures startled him quite a bit!

It was already dark, and everything was hazy. Suddenly, I felt a series of blurry figures surrounding me. Are you scared?

The village chief wasn't afraid, but he was still frightened and muttered a few curses at them.

The villagers probably felt they had gone too far and were embarrassed, so they didn't dare to talk back and just endured those insults.

Once the village chief calmed down, the villagers began to ask about what had happened.

The village chief suddenly understood why these guys were waiting here!

"You'll find out when we meet under the big tree tomorrow! Here's a heads-up: the situation is getting increasingly serious, so everyone needs to be mentally prepared. We don't have much time left to stock up on supplies!"

The village chief didn't stop, talking as he walked.

He was speaking with a heavy sigh, his tone tinged with sadness and helplessness!

Upon hearing this, the villagers, sure enough, said something terrible must have happened!

We're almost there, and there's definitely a sense of urgency!

The next morning, a meeting was held in the village. The village chief spoke very seriously and solemnly about the matter, and also instructed the villagers on what to do. If they did not do so, there was nothing he could do. In critical moments, no one can look after anyone else!

Su Nanxi went to town early in the morning. She trusted the village chief's abilities and had nothing to worry about.

The village chief is so dedicated and responsible; he is a very competent village chief!

If those people don't want to listen, then that's their fate!

Life and death are preordained; this may not be just a saying!

She's too busy to deal with village affairs.

Once they arrived in town, the group tacitly separated and went about their own business, only reuniting in the evening to head back together.

Just as Su Nanxi and Xiao Wu were about to take a shortcut into the alley, someone suddenly rushed over and tried to stop them.

Xiao Wu noticed it and, without thinking, kicked out without saying a word!

Whoever it is, anyone who dares to launch a surprise attack is no good person!

With him around, do you think he's blind?

He will protect his master's safety. Anyone who tries to get close to his master or harm him will be sent flying into the air without a second thought!

By the time Su Nanxi realized what was happening, Xiao Wu had already stopped. She didn't say anything, just glanced in the direction of takeoff before looking away.

I was thinking to myself, "Well done!"

Some people just can't be treated even the slightest bit nicely!

Once you treat her well, she'll climb the social ladder and want more and more!

What an insatiable thing!

snort!

Su Nanxi didn't look again and turned to leave.

"Well done! Next time, if any fool dares to pounce on me, don't hesitate to send them a plane ticket! They're not worth it!"

Xiao Wu felt very happy to hear his master's affirmation and praise. Although he didn't know what an airplane ticket was, he understood the general meaning!

If there's a next time, he'll definitely do the same, stepping forward to protect his master!

Su Nanxi didn't take it to heart, because it wasn't worth it!

When she came out of the back door of the restaurant in the afternoon, she planned to visit Mo Wenying and Chen Ahua and remind them.

As they approached a fork in the road, Su Nanxi suddenly heard a familiar voice and stopped in her tracks.

Xiao Wu was very perceptive. When he saw Su Nanxi stop, he immediately became alert and slowly stopped as well.

"Mother, that's all, there's no more! You should leave now! Asking won't do any good. I brought this out secretly, and if they find out, I'll definitely get scolded! I can't make it too obvious! You've taken quite a lot, enough for you to eat for a while! Don't come looking for me again this month!"

"What are you saying! You're my daughter. If I have nothing to eat, who else can I turn to if not you? This little bit isn't enough!"
