Chapter 282 Now People Have a Bad Backbone
The two siblings of the Meng family felt guilty and didn't know how to respond.
When the dragon snake was alive, everyone was thinking about protecting themselves, and they were no exception.
Now that others have made mistakes, they should bear the consequences.
When Patriarch Quan saw that the two children were silent, he felt less disgusted. After all, they still had self-awareness.
"Let the past be the past. But these things do not belong to our village. If you want something, you have to ask our distinguished guest, Miss Xiaoxi." Chief Quan thought that Miss Xiaoxi was interested in the medicinal herbs in the mountains.
The men and women in Mengjiazhai are all very strong. They are faster than them in digging herbs in the mountains. Maybe they can find what Miss Xiaoxi wants.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't expect that Patriarch Quan would throw the problem to her, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood the good intentions of the Patriarch.
The two siblings of the Meng family looked at Gu Xiaoxi, and the Meng family said, "Whatever the girl wants, as long as it's available in the mountains, I can find it for you."
Gu Xiaoxi turned to look at the old patriarch and said, "Old Patriarch, I have something to say to you in advance. Can I have a moment with you?"
"Okay!" Clan leader Quan agreed and asked the clan members to accompany the two brothers from the Meng family first. He took Gu Xiaoxi to the next room to talk.
The two entered the house, and Gu Xiaoxi closed the door. Then he asked, "Old Patriarch, how does the strength of the Meng Family Village compare to the other three villages? How is their relationship with you?"
Chief Quan thought carefully and said, "Because they are relatively close to us, the relationship between our two villages used to be good.
Their previous tribe leader, Lao Meng, was a straightforward person. We knew each other when we were very young, so naturally, our relationship was better than that of the other villages.”
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi had an idea in mind and told the old clan leader Quan about his thoughts: "Before, because of the dragon snakes here, the people in the mountains didn't dare to come out.
Now that the dragons and snakes are gone, you are living by the river, with easy access to water and fish. I am worried that those people in the mountains will be eyeing you covetously.
Although you have a formation, you still have to go out to dig for herbs and food. If they have any ideas, you are still in great danger."
The old patriarch Quan was so busy being happy that he really didn't think about this problem.
Now after hearing what Gu Xiaoxi said, he was also a little panicked.
"Old Patriarch, please cooperate with me later. We will trick the people from Mengjiazhai down the mountain to settle down.
This way, you'll have more neighbors who know you well, and even if the people from the other three villages want to take action, they'll think twice." Gu Xiaoxi patted the old patriarch's shoulder.
"Your idea is good. We have a place a little bit away from us, which should be enough for their clan to settle down." Patriarch Quan nodded in agreement.
After discussing it, the two returned to the house over there.
Without waiting for the Meng brothers to speak, Gu Xiaoxi spoke up, "I came here mainly to teach them how to grow crops, so I brought some grain seeds. If you are interested, I can share some with you and you can try different kinds."
"Is it okay?" Meng Jia's eyes lit up when he heard this.
If we had grain seeds and learned how to grow grain, we wouldn’t go hungry most of the time in winter.
"Of course, but I also have my conditions." Gu Xiaoxi replied with a smile.
"You say!" Meng Jia said expectantly.
"When that dragon snake occupied this place before, you didn't come down the mountain to help out of self-preservation, and we understand.
Now, the dragon snake has been killed by us. I believe that in the eyes of you villager villages, this place near the river is a hot commodity.
I just asked the old clan leader Quan, and he told me that he has some friendship with your old clan leader, so instead of giving benefits to others, it is better to give benefits to your own people.
There is a vacant land not far from Quanjiazhai. If you like, you can come down and settle down.
Of course, if you're not willing, the old clan leader will consider other strongholds." Gu Xiaoxi told the two siblings the results of the discussion with the old clan leader Quan.
The two siblings of the Meng family were very excited when they heard this, because they had long wanted to live down the mountain.
Although there are many prey in the mountains, it can be very unsafe at night.
It’s different at the foot of the mountain, some wild animals dare not come down the mountain.
However, Quanjiazhai had been at the foot of the mountain for many years, and everyone tacitly accepted that this was Quanjiazhai's territory, so his father was embarrassed to bring it up.
"Father Quan, Miss Xiaoxi, please give us one night. This matter is too big, and I need to go back and discuss it with my clansmen." Meng Jia did not agree immediately. He was still relatively patient.
"Of course, but we won't wait too long. If we miss this time, we'll have to wait until next year to grow crops." Gu Xiaoxi learned from all the old clan leaders that no one here knows how to grow crops, but they all want to eat them.
"Okay, we'll go back now, old clan leader. Considering the old friendship between you and my father, you must wait for us to come back." The Meng family felt that they couldn't wait a moment longer. They had to discuss this matter with their father and the clan members immediately and make sure it was settled.
"We'll wait for you for a day, because my time is limited and I can't stay in there forever." Gu Xiaoxi set the time without waiting for the old patriarch Quan to speak.
After listening to this, the old tribe leader nodded and said, "We also need Miss Xiaoxi and the others to teach us how to grow crops. We can't waste her time."
"Okay, see you tomorrow!" Meng Jia put down the gift, took his sister and left immediately.
Patriarch Quan nodded and asked Xiao Mu to send the brother and sister out.
After the two siblings left, the old clan leader Quan immediately called a meeting of the clan members.
The content of the meeting was about what Gu Xiaoxi reminded them of. After hearing this, the tribesmen were all very worried. They would rather give some things to Mengjiazhai and also wanted the people of Mengjiazhai to move down the mountain and settle down.
Gu Xiaoxi had to guess what the tribesmen said, but he could get a general idea.
Seeing their worried faces, she spoke to them in comfort, "Don't be afraid, they will most likely come down. If they don't want such a good place, the other three families will definitely come over to test it out."
Uncle Geda thought it made sense. He looked at all the old clan leaders and said, "You all should be patient. We will know the result tomorrow. There is no point in thinking too much."
"That's right. Okay, everyone go back and have a good rest!" Patriarch Quan just wanted to let the tribe members know about this matter, and now they can only wait.
After dinner, the villagers, tired from a day's work, went back to sleep.
Gu Xiaoxi was also a little tired, but she couldn't fall asleep again until late at night.
Unable to sleep, she walked out of the village and made some changes to the formation, making it bigger so that it covered the two places they had chosen.
After the formation changed, the people on the mountain not far away were stunned.
"Third brother, am I dazzled? Why can't I see the area at the foot of the mountain over there?" The man who was releasing the news was dumbfounded.
Another person came over to take a look and found that it was indeed gone.
"Hurry, hurry and send a letter to the patriarch." He realized that the patriarch's guess was correct. A master really came to the Quanjia village, otherwise why would they suddenly lose sight of anything?
