Chapter 77 Supporting Gu Yun to Lead the Team
Xu Zhiyi thought that the two of them were so frightened that they didn't even have the strength to crawl! He immediately set his sights on the first and third rooms.
"Are you here to take my father back as well? Just now, these two old men came and asked my father to show his respect, so I invited my father out. Why don't you want him anymore after I invited him out?"
As he spoke, he came closer with the bundle in his arms, and then handed it to the first and third wives: "Hey, why don't you carry it back for the two elders? They are so excited to see my dad that they can't even walk!"
The people from the first and third rooms stared at the bundle that was handed to them. After realizing what was inside, they were so scared that they ran away crawling.
After Xu Zhiyi had dealt with the problem, he solemnly put the bundle back on the cart, then bowed to the bundle.
Then he patted Wang Xiaohe beside him and said with a raised corner of his mouth: "Let's go."
"etc"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi turned around and saw the village head coming over with more than twenty people!
Looking at the people with big and small bags and carts, Xu Zhiyi was a little confused. What were they doing? Did they want to follow her too? But he was the head of the village! Didn't he care about the villagers?
The villagers over there also saw the headman's behavior, and they all stood up in panic to see what was going on.
When the head of the village came to Xu Zhiyi, he said directly: "Zhiyi! I have thought deeply about what you said to me! In addition to your aunt's suggestion, I can no longer manage Liuhe Village!"
"The families behind me are from the same clan as me. They are willing to follow me, and they were the first to help in killing the bandits this time. They also have the most family members who sacrificed. They are all good people. At least they will not drag us down. You can rest assured about this."
Xu Zhiyi heard this, and she had no reason to refuse, so she nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you can make up your mind, Uncle Lizheng."
Village head: "Well, I've thought about it. We are all fleeing famine to save our lives. Who can care so much about them? Let them do whatever they want! In the villages where we are fleeing famine, there must be village heads. Do you think it's my turn as an outsider to worry about it?"
"So! From the moment I fled from Liuhe Village, I was no longer their village head! From now on, you can call me Uncle Lin!"
Xu Zhiyi nodded: "Okay, Uncle Lin"
The villagers who were approaching could not help but panic after hearing the conversation between the two. If there was no headman in their team, wouldn't it be a mess? Who would they turn to for decision in the future?
"Li Zheng, what do you mean? Are you going to abandon us?"
"That's right! Since you are the head of the village, you should lead us."
"Village head, this is really not kind of you! How can you abandon us halfway?"
"Oh, what if we are in danger? Without you in command, wouldn't that mean we will die?"
Upon hearing this, the village head said sarcastically, "Order? Do you want me to go out and block the attack?"
"I don't care about you now! Whether you form a team or a family, it's none of my business! Anyway, when we reach the destination, I won't be able to be the head of the village. This is just a way to let go!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers all felt that what they had just said was a bit too much, and quickly softened their tone to persuade him.
An idea flashed through Wang's mind, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at the villagers and said loudly: "What are you trying to persuade? You can persuade people but not their hearts."
"What should we do? Who among the remaining team is capable of taking charge?"
"That's right! We can't even tell the direction, what should we do next?"
Wang patted her chest and said, "Who said there is nothing left? My son is a scholar with a good reputation. What can be difficult for him? He has a lot of knowledge in his head. Even everyone in the academy has praised him."
When the villagers heard this, they felt that it was true. Gu Yun was a scholar, which was not on the same level as them or the head of the village.
Wang saw that everyone was a little moved! She hurriedly said: "Don't forget, we are now fleeing from famine, and we must pass through the city gates. My Yun'er is a scholar. When the city gate official sees my Yun'er's scholar documents, he will be polite."
"Wouldn't it be convenient to take you along with me then?"
Now, the villagers were completely moved! Now seeing that Li Zheng was about to leave the team, they were completely panicked and had no direction!
"What Wang said is right. How about we let the scholar Gu Yun be our captain?"
"That's great! He's a scholar, so he's definitely no worse than an old man like the head of the village, right?"
As soon as everyone heard this, they all went back to their own areas to discuss the matter. No one stopped the head of the village.
The village head saw people walking away! He looked at the group of arrogant and brainless people, shook his head, sighed and said: "Zhiyi, let's hurry up!"
Xu Zhiyi nodded when he heard this, and he and Shen Wuyou pushed the cart to the right side of the village head, followed by Wang Xiaohe's family and the Lin family members.
Doctor Li looked at the villagers surrounding Wang's mother and son and flattering them, shook his head, and thought that the head of the village should not have gone far.
He glanced at the villagers who were in high spirits, and then while no one was paying attention to him, he quickly packed his bag, picked up his big backpack, and ran after the head of the village.
Xu Zhiyi looked at the fork in the road and asked, "Uncle Lin, which one should we take?"
The village head heard this and analyzed, "The left side takes seven more days to get to the next town, while the right side takes seven fewer days. I think if the people are fleeing famine, they will most likely take the right side."
Hu, who was standing by, heard this and suggested, "Then let's go to the left! Although it will take a few more days, we can stagger with the main group, which will at least save us a lot of trouble."
Su listened and nodded in agreement. As long as he got together with a large group of people, there would definitely be troubles, so it would be better to get out of the way now.
The village head nodded and looked at Xu Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, how about we go to the left?"
"Okay, go left."
Doctor Li hurriedly chased to the front, but found that there was a fork in the road. He stopped and looked at the two roads, both of which had traces of cart wheels.
At this moment, I really didn't know which road the village head and the others would take. After thinking about it, I finally chose the one on the left. I felt that I should be taking the right path!
A quarter of an hour later, with Gu Yun leading the team, a large group arrived at the fork in the road.
Wang looked at the two roads and saw that the road on the right was much wider. Without thinking, she pointed to the road on the right and said, "Hey, the road on the right is much wider. Let's go to the right."
Upon hearing this, the villagers looked at Gu Yun, waiting for him to speak and confirm that he really walked to the right.
Gu Yun looked at the two roads in front of him, and at this moment his thoughts coincided with those of the head of the village!
