Chapter 159: Alliance Horn
Ye Yan'an is such a passionate and extroverted person. Zhao Ronger has never been praised like this by the opposite sex. For a moment, she felt shy but also happy, and she didn't know how to respond.
Luo Qiuyue patted Ye Yan'an on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, Rong'er has helped you a lot. When you earn money, you must not forget Rong'er's share."
"Of course." Ye Yan'an smiled brightly, "Rong'er, I'll help you make money in the future!"
Zhao Ronger shook her head. "I'm very happy to be able to help. Dad and I live here, so I should be the one thanking everyone."
Luo Qiuyue asked everyone to sit down. "Why would you say thank you? If you really want to express your gratitude, it should be the Ye family thanking you."
"Yes!" everyone agreed.
"Rong'er has made contributions, but I haven't." Zhao Xingjian said with a smile, "It will be easier if you talk it through. I didn't really help much."
"It's not about this." Ye Buwei said slowly, "Master Zhao, I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
As he spoke, he picked up the tea bowl beside him.
"How dare I accept this?" Zhao Xingjian quickly stood up.
"Master, you deserve it." Ye Buwei smiled. "When Master found the little baby of unknown origin in the carriage, most people would have thrown it away and forgotten about it. But Master stayed with it all the way, raising it with care and bringing it to Xianchuan County. If it weren't for Master Zhao, I'm afraid we would never have met Xiaojiu."
"This is fate. Xiaojiu brought us all together." Zhao Xingjian looked at the cute little girl. "After all this, everything is arranged by heaven."
"This glass of wine is to express my gratitude to the Master for saving Xiaojiu, and also to show my respect for the Master's character."
Ye Buwei drank the tea in the bowl in one gulp.
"How dare I..." Zhao Xingjian was very excited, with tears in his eyes, and he raised the tea bowl to his lips with trembling hands.
"Fuji, thank you!"
The little girl came running over with the bowl in her arms, her big, clear eyes twinkling. She raised the bowl in her hand and said, "Fuji, a single cup!"
"Hahaha, okay, Master and Xiao Jiuer, let's have a drink!" Zhao Xingjian couldn't help laughing and picked up the tea bowl and touched it with the small bowl.
The little dumpling drank the tea, opened his little mouth and made a "ha" sound, as if he had drunk nectar.
"Hahahaha", everyone laughed non-stop.
"Master is Xiaojiu's benefactor, and also my, Ye Yanping's, benefactor. I would like to offer a toast to Master." Ye Yanping stood up.
"I'll come too!" Yunniang stood up.
"Let's just go together!" Luo Qiuyue said with a smile, "Otherwise, the teacher will be full of tea!"
"Let's toast to the Master together!" The Ye family members raised their tea bowls.
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."
…
This meal was lively and enjoyable.
The next morning, the village head came in the wind and snow.
The gate of the Ye family's courtyard was closed yesterday. The villagers guessed that Ye Buwei was seeking medical treatment, so they asked the village head to come and inquire early in the morning.
Ye Buwei was regulating his breathing in the room, while Luo Qiuyue invited the headman to have tea.
"Dad Yanping is fine now, but his eyes are still not well."
"It's a good thing after all. As a human being, being alive is better than anything else."
When the village head learned that Ye Buwei was not in danger of his life, he was immediately relieved.
To be honest, no one thought that Ye Buwei's eyes could be cured.
I've been blind for so many years, how can I just say I'll be fine?
"Let Yan Ping's father have a good rest. I'll go back and tell everyone first."
The village head was about to leave when suddenly a "wooooo" sound was heard.
There was a strong wind outside, and the sound was distant and clear.
The headman's face changed, "This... this is..."
"What's that sound?" Everyone in the Ye family ran out.
"If I remember correctly, this should be the sound of the 'Alliance Horn'."
"Alliance Horn? What is the Alliance Horn?" No one had ever heard of it.
The village head looked up at the flying snowflakes and fell into memories.
"The Alliance Horn has a long history. When I was little, my father told me about a group of evildoers who ruled the mountains and committed all sorts of evil. The whole village came up with a plan: whenever the evildoers approached a village, they would blow the Alliance Horn, and the other villages would rush to their rescue and join forces to resist them."
"But people are ultimately selfish. When faced with life and death, how many people would risk their lives to save others? Therefore, this method simply won't work. The Alliance became a joke, the horn never sounded again, and few people even knew about it."
"Uncle head of the village, who is playing the flute now?" Ye Yanping asked.
"The sound is so clear, it's most likely coming from Jingwan Village." The village head sighed. "Jingwan Village Chief Feng's father was the previous village chief. I guess Feng's father gave him the Alliance Horn."
Zhao Xingjian asked, "Jingwan Village blew the horn to ask for help from Heihe Village, right?"
"Of course they are." The village head's voice was filled with vicissitudes of life. "Last night was another heavy snowstorm. They must have been unable to hold on."
At this time, the villagers of Heihe Village were startled by the sudden sound of the horn and ran outside to talk about it.
The village head left in a hurry.
Soon, the gong sounded in Heihe Village, and everyone found an open space to gather.
Snow was falling from the sky. Everyone was wearing a straw hat, hunching their necks and putting their hands into their sleeves.
The village head stood in front of everyone, puffs of white air coming out of his mouth. "It's cold, so let's be brief. The horn sound you heard just now must be Jingwan Village calling for help."
"I see."
No one was surprised at all.
"I've long guessed that they would eventually collapse."
Regarding the early warning of the snowstorm, among so many villages in the surrounding area, only Heihe Village has gathered the whole village's strength to make serious preparations.
The other villages either watched or laughed, not taking it seriously at all.
Jingwan Village has taken some action, but it is far from enough.
"Village head, it's snowing so hard that the roads are blocked. We can't help them even if we want to!"
"When we released the news about the snowstorm, they didn't take it seriously. You can't blame anyone else!"
"Yes, our village digs up black soil every day and cuts down trees in the mountains to reinforce houses. They are unwilling to follow our example. They only have themselves to blame!"
"Everyone's right," the village head said, waving a hand for silence. "But they haven't seen it with their own eyes, so it's understandable they don't believe it. If we were to go back a few months ago, would you still believe it?"
The villagers were stunned.
You know what, a few months ago, they probably wouldn't have believed it.
The reason they believe it now is because they have witnessed so many mysterious things with their own eyes that they can't help but believe it.
"Under the current circumstances, we can't help them even if we want to. The snowstorm is not like the porridge distribution we had before. They can't come, and we can't leave."
The village head paused and said, "Today is a good opportunity to let everyone understand why our Heihe Village was able to escape this snowstorm."
Everyone nodded, feeling a huge sense of happiness in their hearts.
It is said that happiness comes from comparison, which is absolutely true.
Lianjingwan Village sent out a distress signal, not to mention other villages.
Thinking of those who were struggling and trying to survive in the wind and snow, everyone felt nothing but relief.
After all, everything is thanks to Xiaojiu in Heihe Village.
The reason why Xiaojiu was able to stay in Heihe Village was because of the Ye family.
If it weren't for the Ye family, Xiaojiu would have been sold to a human trafficker by the Huo family and would have had nothing to do with Heihe Village.
"In a word, thank you Ye family, thank you Xiao Jiuer!"
