Although he is nearly 70 years old, he looks very energetic.
Seven or eight people sat on either side of him, each with a sorrowful expression on their face. These were all elders from the village.
Dozens of young men from Hujiazhuang stood around the table.
The meeting room was completely silent, the atmosphere unusually oppressive.
Seeing everyone's dejected appearance, Hu Santai shook his head and broke the silence by speaking first.
"Look at all of you, don't you have any backbone? Is there any war where people don't die?"
"Get yourselves together!"
One of them said with a sorrowful expression:
"Third Grandfather, both of my sons are dead! You must avenge me!"
"We can't let this go. We must tear that Ling Feng to pieces!"
However, his words were not agreed upon by others, and someone in the crowd spoke up.
"We've already lost so many young people. This Ling Feng is no pushover. Don't go. Let's not send any more children to their deaths!"
"That's right, Hu Daqiang, we didn't send anyone from our family, so we're not going next time!"
"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering the consequences. Didn't you avenge someone in your family who was killed?"
Someone in your family has died!
"Go to hell..."
The atmosphere at the scene escalated, and there was a strong indication that a fight was about to break out.
Enraged, Hu Santai slammed his hand on the table, and the room instantly fell silent!
"What's all this noise about?!"
"They all only care about their own little things, do they have no sense of the bigger picture?"
"Why did we send people to loot supplies? Wasn't it so that everyone in the village would have food to eat!"
"If there's no food, why don't we go and grab it? Are we just waiting to starve to death?"
Hu Santai glared at the group of clansmen and reprimanded them in a loud voice.
He looked at the tribesman who had just spoken and said solemnly.
"Liu Laosi, although you are an outsider, you should still get involved in village affairs."
"Last time your family didn't send anyone, so be it. Next time, all three of your sons have to sign up, or you're out of Hu Family Village!"
Upon hearing this, the man called Liu Laosi's face turned extremely ugly.
But he didn't dare to make a scene, since he was an outsider.
Hu Santai glanced at everyone and continued speaking
"This operation was poorly planned, which is why we suffered such heavy casualties."
"However, we certainly can't let this matter rest. Next time, we must devise a more detailed plan before taking any action!"
"Ling Feng must die, or he will have failed all the young men of Hu Family Village who died!"
Let's discuss how to implement the plan!
