Zhou Tiezhu crossed his arms and looked fierce.

"You can rest here for a few days, but not for too long. The village can't accommodate too many people!"

"We will then send someone to guide you to Ruihe Town. Once you get there, you can rest assured!"

"Nod if you understand!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

However, Lin Tongxi still felt that it was not appropriate.

Only dozens of people showed up on the first day... There are only a few hundred people in the village. What should we do next?

Even if there are weapons to suppress them, they cannot withstand the tactics of human waves.

What if the cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest?

Lin Tongxi randomly selected a thin young man and asked him about the refugees' situation.

"...There are too many people...We just experienced drought and locust plagues, and with that evil Lu Ganhai doing all that, there are probably a lot of people like us...I can't even count them..."

After the refugee answered, he started eating again.

Lin Tongxi handed him a steamed bun, and he immediately put the thing down and stuffed the bun into his arms, as if he was afraid that the other party would snatch it back.

"...Alas, it seems that we need to speed up the circulation, otherwise something will go wrong." Lin Tongxi said to himself, and then found Zhou Tiezhu and others to discuss the next step.

"Brother Tiezhu, how many people can our current food supply accommodate in a day?" Lin Tongxi looked at Zhou Tiezhu.

"This... I don't know. You have to ask the village chief." Zhou Tiezhu scratched his head. He was not sensitive to things like numbers.

Lin Tongxi looked at Li Wenyuan, but the other party didn't know either.

"Oh...anyway, someone go and do the counting!" Lin Tongxi just felt a headache at the moment.

I was one step behind in chess and forgot to solve the food problem.

If the capacity of the village is exceeded, there will be problems if the villagers and refugees have nothing to eat!

This number must be calculated correctly in order to determine the intensity of the effort to drive people away!

And there is also the issue of subsequent food. You know, Qingshi Village’s reserves are limited!

Besides, there are only a few hundred people in the village at most. If a four-digit number of people were squeezed into Qingshi Village...

By then, Qingshi Village won’t even be able to guarantee its own safety!

It seems that I have to go to Ruihe Town to find Gan Xingfan in person.

"Everyone, the situation may become increasingly serious! For the safety of the village, Chen Yunxuan and I have to go to Ruihe Town."

Lin Tongxi frowned, not joking.

"I agree." Chen Yunxuan's expression was also very serious. If he entered Ruihe Town, he might be able to inform Chengtian Academy of the Xianhun Sect's conspiracy.

Zhou Tiezhu and Zhao Shouzhong nodded. The current situation could not be solved by Qingshi Village alone, and they had to seek help from their superiors.

Lin Tongxi originally wanted to call Su Ruoxue, but there were not many people in the village who knew medicine, so he had to rely mainly on her to treat the refugees.

Just as the two were about to leave, Li Wenyuan rushed over panting.

"Young Master Tongxi...my father...he can finally speak!"

"After hearing what happened over the past few days... he asked me to come find you right away!"

"He has something important to tell you!"

When they heard this, they all realized what the important matter the village chief was talking about.

Li Wenyuan took a few breaths and continued, "The other brothers, please follow us. My father said it would be best to call you along."

The contrast is so obvious that even children can feel Lin Tongxi's special status.

Several people rushed to the village house and gathered around his bed.

"Cough... cough cough cough..." The village chief Li Changhe was seriously ill. Just as he was about to speak, he coughed violently several times.

"Ahem... everyone is here... it seems Miss Su isn't here... ahem... it's okay!"

"I've heard everything that's happened these past few days!"

"You guys are doing a great job... I'm old... I can't do it anymore..."

"This village...will be handed over to you young people sooner or later!"

"Since Young Master Tongxi came, the village has changed a lot, for the better."

"I... intend to give the position of village chief to Young Master Tongxi!"

Lin Tongxi was shocked. It turned out to be true.

After hearing this, Li Wenyuan and Zhou Tiezhu's expressions darkened.

If Lin Tongxi is not here and Patriarch Zhao is not in charge, then the position of village chief will definitely be theirs.

Li Wenyuan is the son of the village chief and has the support of the Li family, so there is no need to say more.

Zhou Tiezhu has high prestige and strong aura, and can control the villagers. He is more likely to become the village chief than Li Wenyuan.

It’s a pity that Lin Tongxi and the others are here.

"No, village chief, I can't be one." Lin Tongxi shook his head to refuse.

"There is a more suitable candidate, and that is Brother Chenxuan!"
