Everyone felt sad and started wiping away tears.
"What's wrong with this life? We don't want to be rich, we just want to live a good life. Is it so difficult?"
"Yes, the New Year is coming soon. It would be nice if we don't eat big fish and meat and the family can live in peace and harmony."
"God, please open your eyes. I can't survive!"
The old people supported each other, crying and complaining.
Uncle Tai San also sighed. Like Village Chief Dong, he had devoted his entire life to the village. Just thinking about how all the young and old in the Tai family had been killed and the village had been burned down, he was probably more desperate than Village Chief Dong!
He quickly stepped forward to support Village Chief Dong, and consoled him, "Old brother, it's already happened, there's no point in complaining. Ultimately, it's fate. They refused to go into the mountains, and no one can be blamed for this outcome. But you, please take care of yourself. After all, the dozen or so people in the mountains, and the fifty-three who survived, are counting on you to make the decision!"
Others also joined in, "Yes, Village Chief Dong, take care of yourself."
"These are the Rakshasa devils who have come to cause trouble. The government shouldn't just sit there and watch. Let's get through this first and see what happens next."
"I'm afraid everyone is waiting for us down the mountain. Let's go down and take a look."
Village chief Dong cheered up, grabbed Uncle Tai San's hand, entrusted the old and young in the family to him, and then was about to take his eldest son down the mountain.
Village chief Liu and village chief Zhang were also concerned about the village and wanted to go down the mountain with them.
After gathering together like this, there were more than a dozen of us, and it was dawn, so there was nothing to worry about.
The old man was not in good physical condition. After climbing over four or five mountains, the sun was already setting when he arrived at Tai's cabin halfway up the mountain.
Old Man Tai had just climbed up from the mountain and looked unhappy.
For the safety of the people, Tai'an County remained closed, but a hundred soldiers were brought out in large baskets and cautiously explored the area. They brought no orders from the county magistrate, nor any protection or assistance, but instead focused on the number of deaths.
What he meant was that he was afraid that the disaster would be too big and would prevent him from continuing to wear his official hat.
Although he knew that all the officials in the court were like this from top to bottom, and that the Wei Dynasty was rotten to the core, the old man was still very disappointed.
As soon as the sun passed overhead, the soldiers were about to return to the city, just as if the demons would come out as soon as the sky got dark...
The old man guessed that Manager Min was worried about them, so he bribed a soldier with silver to deliver a message, and then hurried into the mountains.
Out of sight, out of mind!
When they arrived at the cabin, the men who had survived the Sancha River were all gloomy-faced, looking like zombies. Even drinking hot water required the veterans to boil it and pass bowls of it around. Not to mention helping with collecting firewood, carrying buckets of water, or patrolling and guarding!
He couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes, there must be something hateful about pitiful people. This is really true!
If the people in Sanchahe were more united and cared less about trivial matters, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation today!
Fortunately, Village Chief Dong and his men arrived soon.
When the people of Sancha River saw their village chief, they all gathered around him and cried loudly. They felt so aggrieved that it seemed as if the whole world had wronged them.
"Woo woo, village chief, you're finally back! Everyone in the village is dead!"
"Village Chief, my parents are dead. Woohoo, my family has nothing left!"
"Village chief, how are we going to live in the future?"
"Why didn't you persuade us earlier? If we had gone up the mountain, we wouldn't have all died!"
Village Chief Dong wiped his tears, but Boss Dong got angry and started cursing, "Who are you blaming? My father tried his best to persuade you to go into the mountains with him, but you refused to listen. You even called my father a coward and a fool behind his back. Don't you think we didn't know? Now that you've suffered a loss, you're regretting it and blaming my father for not trying harder! Who is to blame for this?"
Everyone shut up, covered their faces and cried. It was hard to tell whether they regretted it or just disagreed.
Boss Dong wanted to say something more, but Village Chief Dong waved his hand.
No matter what, the result is like this, it’s not good to bother with these people anymore.
"What's going on? How is the village doing now?" Village Chief Dong asked, and everyone immediately started talking.
On the other side, Village Chief Liu and Village Chief Zhang were concerned about the village. They said hello to Mr. Tai and took people back to the village for a walk.
Everyone in the Tai family also hurried to report what happened on the mountain to the old man. The old man originally thought that the mountain was safe and sound, but he didn't know it was so dangerous. He was so anxious that he even knocked over the water bowl.
The veteran in charge of reporting quickly comforted him, "Don't worry too much, uncle. Although a few of us were injured, they were all flesh wounds and have been treated with medicine. This time, it's fortunate that Sesame Ball warned us and Uncle Banxianer took out the poison. Otherwise, it would really be..."
"However, fortunately, there was no danger. But we don't know where these people came from, and why they are looking for you. They can't find you, and they even captured Miss Zhuzhu and threatened her, as if they won't give up until they achieve their goal!
I don't know if they have any backup plans. If it happens again, I don't know if we can escape. So, everyone asked me to report this to see if you have any plans."
Old Master Tai knew too well where these people came from, and also knew why they were looking for him.
He took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.
The little granddaughter had told me about her nightmare before. In the dream, there were not only Russian devils but also men in black. She had only seen Russian devils in the past two days and no black people. She thought that the Russian devils appeared early, so she missed the men in black.
Who would have thought that the men in black would actually go to the valley and almost destroy their lair, killing everyone.
Fortunately, the family is kind to others and never discriminates against relatives and friends because of their power, wealth or poverty. That’s why they made friends with noble people like Doctor Zhang and Banxianer, who helped everyone escape the disaster!
But things are unpredictable. Our family may be able to avoid such danger once or twice, but we must never be complacent and think that we can avoid it three or four times!
He had kept the secret for many years, and the time had come when he had to reveal it, otherwise everyone would be implicated and killed.
He didn't know if this was the right time, but even if it was, he wouldn't regret it because he had tried his best!
"Okay, I understand about this. I hope everyone is safe. I'll go into the mountains with you later and we'll talk then." The old man waved his hand gently, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
The old soldier thought he was worried about the mountains and wanted to persuade him again, but at this time, Village Chief Dong came over.
"Brother, can we have a word?"
Old Man Tai nodded, made room for the person next to him, and warmed himself by the fire with Village Chief Dong.
Village chief Dong sighed without saying anything. His temples seemed to have turned three inches whiter in just one day.
"Brother, this time we are so grateful to you. It is truly rare that you can bring people to help us at a time like this. No matter what happens in the future, you will always be our great benefactors in Sancha River!"
After saying this, he bowed deeply to the old man and his eyes became red again.
