Immediately, some villagers stood up.
"Who! Who dares to harm the cubs? They're ruining the village's business! I'll be the first to object!"
"Exactly! Isn't this a black sheep? The seedlings and cubs haven't even been distributed yet. Luckily, there's Young Master Sun and Miss Ruan's family to mediate. Otherwise, how could anyone get such a good thing—seedlings and cubs without spending any money, and even have someone to teach them?!"
"Village chief, tell us! Who is it?! We'll beat him to death!"
......
Some villagers turned and left, rushing back to get their hoes.
That stance...
Ruan Meng glanced casually at the people opposite and noticed that the group from Wanjia Village were staring at her.
They noticed the gaze in his eyes, filled with resentment, as if to say, "What can you do to us?"
It seems that their resentment towards Ruan Meng runs even deeper.
Ruan Meng thought for a moment and figured that these people probably guessed, based on her guidance, that she was the one who caused their diarrhea.
After all, the doctor who passed by was someone she had rushed into the city with overnight, and she asked Jiqing for help in arranging things.
A person with some medical knowledge, but about to leave the South Island.
The person who deliberately led these people from Wanjiacun to use croton oil powder on copper coins was someone knowledgeable in medicine and its principles...
In the entire Fengjia Village, besides Ruan Meng, there are only Du Xiaocan and the Sun family's female doctor, and the latter has absolutely no connection with them...
The fact that they could follow the pre-set route showed that they were not reckless, which is why Ruan Meng could not keep them!
When the villagers returned one after another, carrying "weapons" in their hands, they showed no fear to the people opposite them.
The villagers warned, "Village chief, you tell me! We can't let this kind of troublemaker stay in the village!"
The village chief looked at the newly registered residents and asked, "What do you have to say?"
The village chief looked at them, the newly registered residents, and felt an immediate sense of revulsion, as if the village chief was implying something.
But other villagers said that none of the more than one hundred of them spoke up, as if they were guilty.
So they all lowered their heads and looked at each other.
Sun Jiang and Zhang Yue took the initiative to look at each newcomer, confirm their information, and then reply to the village chief:
"Village chief, we share the same attitude. If we find any bad apples, we will not tolerate them!"
As soon as Sun Jiang finished speaking, someone hid in the group and whispered:
"I'm afraid some people might use this opportunity to frame someone, in order to get rid of someone they don't want..."
The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it did indeed shake the newly naturalized citizens.
Some people said, "What a coincidence! This happened right after the conflict. Everyone's saying that this kind of person can't be kept around..."
"Why don't you tell me exactly how much damage was caused? How many piglets, calves, or lambs died?"
Ruan Meng and the people around her couldn't see who was speaking, but they saw that several people from Wanjiacun had retreated to the middle of the crowd at some point, all with their heads down, so their faces and mouths were not visible.
The sound reached the crowd, and those present looked around, some of the original villagers even expressing doubt:
"Yes, village chief! How many piglets died? Or calves and lambs?"
"Could a lot of people have died? Otherwise, the village chief wouldn't be in such a hurry to gather everyone here."
......
The village chief's shrewd eyes swept over the newly registered villagers, and he spoke slowly.
"They're not dead. None of them are dead yet."
"ah?"
The villagers were in an uproar.
The village chief explained, "If the Sun family's guards hadn't made preparations in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
The village chief continued, "Perhaps you haven't quite grasped the preciousness of these cubs. They aren't just any cubs you can buy in the city; they were selected by expert breeders based on the conditions of the South Island, making them the most suitable for our breeding."
"The chicks, ducklings, and goslings come from the island, while the piglets, calves, and lambs are all transported from outside the island. We can't afford the transportation costs alone."
"Let alone several, even just one, our entire village couldn't afford to lose it all in a year!"
The villagers nodded in agreement, taking the matter even more seriously, and looking at the Sun family's guards with even greater respect.
Some villagers understood the implied meaning and consulted the village chief:
"Village chief, you said the Sun family guards were prepared in advance. Did they discover beforehand that someone was planning to attack?"
The village chief answered directly, "Regarding this, let the Sun family answer!"
Ruan Meng and the others looked in the direction of the Sun family guards. To Ruan Meng's surprise, Sun Chengen was standing behind the crowd at some point, surrounded by guards.
A Yuan appeared to bow to Sun Chengen as he walked out of the crowd.
"I am the young master's servant. Lately, most of the guards have been assigned by me."
A Yuan bowed to the village chief and introduced himself to the villagers.
Many villagers had seen him and recognized his identity, bowing deeply to him.
A-Yuan explained, "Since the supplies were delivered, we have set up two layers of defense to ensure the safety of the seedlings and cubs."
"Besides the guards that everyone can see around the fence, there is actually another layer of defense set up in secret."
A Yuan paused and looked across at the Wan family members in the crowd.
Those people suddenly looked up, their panic visibly evident.
