Those outsiders seemed to know the village chief's condition very well. They were willing to pay a high price and help the village chief contact a good doctor to perform surgery as soon as possible.
In addition, several families in the village heard the news from somewhere and rushed back from other places to express their willingness to sell.
The village chief disagreed, so the villagers, with their families, knelt in front of the village chief's door and begged him.
Moreover, more and more villagers came back after hearing the news, and they expressed their agreement with this matter.
Finally, the village chief had no choice but to sign a treaty with the villagers that prohibited the matter from being made public and agreed to the demands of these outsiders.
However, there were only a few outsiders, but there were many villagers in the village, and they all wanted to be paid a high price.
They were even on the verge of a fight over this, and at this time these outsiders proposed to introduce their fellow villagers to come here to buy the land. As long as they could settle down, they would accept as many families as possible.
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly serious, the village chief of course regretted the original agreement, but once the arrow was shot, there was no turning back.
The villagers said that the matter was over, but in fact they stole the village chief's official seal and sold all the homesteads in the village except for the village chief's family.
The village chief had just finished an operation and when he returned to the village he heard about this incident, he was so furious that he ended up paralyzed in bed and his mind was not clear.
Grandma Wang was also in the hospital taking care of her husband. When she returned home, the whole village had been replaced with unfamiliar faces.
The elegant man also used the excuse that the village chief was mentally ill to take charge of all the affairs in the village.
However, he did not want the title of village chief, after all, there had to be a scapegoat.
After that, they placed Grandma Wang and the village chief under house arrest.
The two were not allowed to leave the village, and all the outsiders in the village isolated Grandma Wang.
Apart from providing Grandma Wang and her family with the necessities of life, they ignored their situation at other times.
Shen Mingzhu's eyes widened when she heard this. "What are they trying to do? Although rural household registration has become more popular in recent years, it is not necessary to take such a big risk to settle in this place!"
Shen Mingzhu also secretly glanced at Grandma Wang's expression, "What I mean is that this place is far away from the bustling city, and it is not convenient to travel."
Granny Wang was amused by Shen Mingzhu's cautious look, "Don't be so careful, I have seen all kinds of storms. This is the retribution of my old man. If I hadn't promised those people just to live a few more years, I wouldn't have to live so miserably now."
Wen Shuangnian also found it strange, "Grandma Wang, do you know their ultimate goal of taking over this village with all their efforts?"
Granny Wang shook her head. "I don't know the details, I just happened to hear that this village was chosen for something, but it means it has a great future."
"Also, I said this place is dangerous because several women who accidentally strayed here were locked up by them. After all, the women left here are basically old and ugly, and they need fresh blood."
At this time, Shen Mingzhu and Wen Shuangnian finally understood what those people's strange looks meant.
Shen Mingzhu slammed the table hard, "This is too abominable. We live in a society ruled by law now. How dare they do this?"
"Because it's hard for the higher-ups to notice places like this, otherwise my old man would still be able to be re-elected as village chief. In addition, all of them are in collusion and no one reveals anything, so it's basically impossible to expose their conspiracy!"
"Isn't this just like when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king?"
"But, Grandma Wang, do you know if there is any small path that can lead us out? I'm afraid if we don't leave now, we will really be trapped forever."
Shen Mingzhu was really scared. There was no signal in this broken place, let alone calling for help.
Wen Shuangnian's cell phone occasionally had a signal, but every time she called the village chief at her home, no one answered.
Given the current situation, they couldn't take care of their luggage or anything, and they were lucky enough to be able to escape.
"I just remember there was a path, but after all these years, I'm not sure if there were these people there."
Wen Shuangnian had also completed the repairs. "Grandma Wang, this water well should be fine for a short time. We should really leave now."
Grandma Wang nodded and took out a yellowed piece of paper and handed it to them.
"This is a picture my old man drew many years ago. If you can use it, take it."
I don’t know if Shen Mingzhu has been unusually unlucky recently.
The map that Grandma Wang gave them was actually quite consistent with the current situation, but they were walking along the map in a sneaky way.
But I almost ran into the elegant man walking in the village with several people.
In order to avoid running into this group of people head-on, Shen Mingzhu immediately pulled Wen Shuangnian to squat in the grass beside a chicken coop.
However, just a quick glance made Shen Mingzhu almost scream out.
The tall figure standing on the village road with a strong rural atmosphere, in a well-fitting suit outlining a perfect body, especially the handsome side profile with a very high degree of folding, gave Shen Mingzhu an extremely familiar feeling.
"No way, it can't be him."
Wen Shuangnian heard Shen Mingzhu's thoughts and looked in the direction of her eyes. She was also stunned.
Because the man had turned his head, no emotion could be seen in his cold eyes, but he seemed to be aware that the gaze was looking at him.
When Shen Mingzhu noticed that the man was looking at her, she suddenly realized that the sparse grass could not hide the figures of two people.
But now is not the time to reminisce with a man.
She pulled Wen Shuangnian's hand with the fastest reaction speed in her life, "Run!"
But the elegant man standing next to the man also noticed the movement here, "Where are you going?"
This sound actually attracted many people in the corner to come over and block their way.
Shen Mingzhu suddenly realized that their cautious escape had actually been seen by others, but they were just like a cat playing with a mouse that was trapped in a corner.
Although they looked at them hiding here and there in strange postures, they had actually never left the control of these people.
The elegant man's words blocked all their ways.
Shen Mingzhu took a deep breath, "Forget it, I can't run away secretly, so I'll just hug Ji Ci's thigh. I don't believe they can do anything in front of Ji Ci!"
Shen Mingzhu pulled Wen Shuangnian towards the man, and when they were only a few steps away from them, Shen Mingzhu let go of Wen Shuangnian's hand.
Then she threw herself into Ji Ci's arms with a smile on her face, "Honey! Why are you here?"
Ji Ci was a little surprised. He actually didn't dare to recognize Shen Mingzhu just now. He actually met her here.
However, her situation did not seem very good. Due to their friendship, Ji Ci resisted the urge to push Shen Mingzhu away.
Then he lightly put his arm around her waist so that they could maintain balance.
Shen Mingzhu whispered in Ji Ci's ear, "Help, help me."
The familiar fragrance that belonged only to Ji Ci enveloped Shen Mingzhu, and at this moment she actually wanted to cry.
"Um."
