Chapter 136: One-Sided Crushing
"How can it not be serious?! We can't be careless!"
Jin Dazhuang put on a stern face, "This is the third one today. Da Xi has already seen it and it's no longer acceptable."
Erxi, quickly escort Third Sister and her benefactor back to the front mountain!
After saying that, the man turned around and plunged back in.
Third Sister was so angry that she wiped away her tears, stomped her feet, and refused Erxi's offer to see her off, running away on her own.
Yuan Siyin was worried about what would happen if she was bullied, but she didn't expect that Erxi would run to the kitchen, pick up a knife, and turn back again: "Erxi, if you dare to stop me, I'll chop you up and feed you to the ducks!"
"Third Sister, we already fed the ducks last time, how about we feed the chickens this time? If that doesn't work, feeding the geese will also be fine. It won't do to keep feeding me to the ducks."
Erxi stood firmly in the narrow back mountain pass, clearly a veteran of countless battles and extremely experienced.
"Third Sister, please don't make things difficult for me. The head of the household said you're not allowed to come in. Look at the First Sister and the Second Sister, they haven't come even once."
"Then tell me honestly, how many people inside are infected?"
Erxi suddenly stammered and fell silent.
"Tell me the truth, and I'll never pressure you again."
Finally, Erxi sighed, her voice unconsciously lowering: "Third Sister, my mother is inside too, I'm worried too."
Upon hearing this, Third Sister took two steps back, her heart trembling and not knowing what to do. The kitchen knife in her hand also fell to the ground with a "clatter".
Everyone fell silent.
After a while, Erxi sighed, squatted down and picked up the kitchen knife, "Third Sister, you should go back quickly, so as not to worry the head of the household."
After a moment of stalemate, the woman finally gave in.
Yuan Siyin watched her leave, looking dejected, without rushing off herself.
"Your name is Erxi, right?"
Erxi had just put away his cleaver when he nodded to her: "Yes, my benefactor."
Upon hearing the chief call him "benefactor," Erxi also changed his address to "benefactor."
What's the situation in the village now?
Erxi hesitated, seemingly unsure whether to tell her, but then remembered that even the chief called her benefactor, so she must not be a bad person. Thus, she told her everything.
"The chief has taken in many refugees in the village, but a few days ago some people suddenly developed high fevers. We didn't take it seriously at first, but more than a dozen of them have already died."
There are about thirty to fifty people inside now, and more people bring supplies every few days. The village's food supplies are almost gone, and we're really worried."
Yuan Siyin nodded knowingly.
The current situation is indeed not optimistic.
However, there is very little she can do, and she probably can't be of much help.
With a sigh, Yuan Siyin thanked Erxi and returned to the front mountain. However, she had only gone halfway when she saw Fatty Wang carrying a spiked club and leading a group of brothers charging out aggressively.
"What happened?"
Thinking that she was too big to lift him, Yuan Siyin simply picked an easy target and questioned Liu Mazi, who was nearby.
Liu Mazi trembled in fright, "Uh... benefactor?"
"Get to the point, I don't hit people."
Yuan Siyin found it somewhat amusing.
Why are these people just like Jin Cancan? They act like mice in front of a cat whenever they see her.
"The government troops are attacking our village again!"
again?
It seems that the government has been trying to eradicate Qingfeng Village for a long time, but has not been able to succeed.
In order to gain a deeper understanding of Qingfeng Village's strength, Yuan Siyin decided to follow them to see for herself, only to find out upon arrival that they had no strength whatsoever.
It was entirely due to the overwhelming force of the rugged terrain.
As long as Fatty Wang stood on the shore, placed his spiked club on the iron chain, and swung it around a few times, he could terrify the soldiers on the other side so much that their legs would go weak.
