Chapter 168 Jingui Village
As the sled left the entrance of Jingwan Village, someone suddenly shouted from the opposite side, "Hey, hey——"
It is such a coincidence that Jingui Village is diagonally opposite Jingwan Village, and the two villages face each other across the river.
Wu Lizheng's home in Jingui Village is right at the entrance of the village.
In the past two days, the horn has been blowing in Jingwan Village, and Wu Lizheng can hear it more clearly than anyone else.
Wu Lizheng had also heard about the Alliance Horn. As he listened to the horn sound from Jingwan Village, he kept mocking Feng Lizheng's naivety.
"What a fool! Blowing this broken horn is useless! Who will come to save you at a time like this?"
But just yesterday afternoon, he found someone riding a sled into Jingwan Village and did not leave until dark.
Judging from the direction, it is undoubtedly Heihe Village.
Just now, the sled from Heihe Village came again.
Jingui Cunlizheng couldn't bear it any longer, so he immediately asked his son to bring out a ladder. He climbed up the ladder himself and started shouting loudly.
He wanted to see what Heihe Village could do by going to Jingwan Village.
Do they really think they are the saviors?
Do you think you can be of any help?
…
"Village head, are you going?" Ye Yanping asked.
After the previous water theft incident, Heihe Village and Jingui Village became enemies.
Later, they joined forces with other villages to steal water, and later they sued the village head in front of the former county magistrate...
Although Heihe Village did not suffer any losses, it did not want to deal with Jingui Village anymore.
When seeing Heihe Village digging black soil every day, Jingui Village made a lot of fun of it and made sarcastic remarks from beginning to end.
"Xiao Jiuer, do you think we should go?" The village head looked down at the little girl.
"Go!" A sly smile appeared on the little dumpling's chubby face. "Go and Kang Kang, Kang Kang, let him cry!"
Didn’t you make fun of me before?
Look now, are you still smiling so loudly?
"Okay, listen to Xiao Jiuer!" The village head touched the little dumpling's head, "Wu Lizheng is a very stubborn person, I'm afraid he won't cry!"
Ye Yanping pulled the reins, "Brother Wolf, turn left!"
The wolves pulled the sled towards Jingui Village.
"Here they come, here they come." Wu Lizheng stood on the ladder and watched, "It's really strange. Where did Heihe Village find so many dog sleds?"
There is a bridge over the river. The bridge is very old and did not collapse during the snow disaster. The sled slowly drove across the bridge and arrived at the entrance of Jingui Village.
"Zhuang Lizheng, I'm here!" Wu Lizheng kept waving his hands.
"Yan Ping, let's not get so close. I don't have a very good relationship with him." said the head of the village.
The sled stopped.
Wu Lizheng shouted, "Hey, Zhuang Lizheng, why are you stopping so far away? I'm not going to eat you!"
The village head sat on the sled and said, "Wu Lizheng, what did you call me for? If you have something to say, please tell me. I'm very busy!"
Wu Lizheng smacked his lips. "Just blow it! What else can you do besides sit at home in this heavy snow? Zhuang Lizheng, that idiot from Jingwan Village is blowing the horn, so why did you actually come?"
"What's wrong? I can't come?"
"It's not that you can't come, it's just that I don't understand you. You're kindhearted, but you wouldn't share a drop of water with us. You're cruel, but you came even when the horn blew and the snow was falling!"
The village head sneered, "You still have the mood to gossip with me? It seems that Jingui Village is doing well!"
"How can it be true?" Wu Lizheng shouted, "Although I can't get out, I can guess that most of them are probably dead! But there's nothing I can do! This is not my fault, and it's no use crying to death!"
"Zhuanglizheng, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but in this situation, everyone should take care of their own business. No one can save anyone else! Those who want to save others or want to be saved by others are all extremely stupid idiots!"
"Li Zheng Wu, you can't say that!" Ye Yanping's face flushed red. "As the head of the village, you didn't help the villagers in this critical moment, but instead called us idiots. How did someone as selfish and cold-blooded as you become a village head?"
"Hey, young people, I'm not selfish or cold-blooded. I just see things more clearly than you do!" Wu Lizheng said slowly, "Take you for example. You've come all the way to Jingwan Village, but what can you do? Offer your condolences? Shed a few tears? Count how many houses collapsed and how many people died?"
"What are you talking about! We have rescued dozens of people from the rubble in the past two days!" Ye Yanping said angrily.
"So where are these dozens of people now?"
"Of course, they were sent to the neighbors to be settled."
"Haha!" Wu Lizheng grinned, "So what? It's just to let them live a few more days!"
"Wu Lizheng, you asked me to come here just to tell you this?" The Lizheng looked surprised. "I thought you wanted me to help save your villagers!"
Wu Lizheng shouted, "Save? What's there to save? The snow keeps falling, and they'll all die in the end! Can't you see? This is a heavenly calamity, no one can escape! Instead of being frightened, it's better to die early and be reborn!"
"Go back!" The village head shook his head. "I don't want to waste any more time talking to him."
The sled turned around.
Wu Lizheng shouted, "Hey, Ye family, don't you sell black soil? I want to do business with you!"
"What business?"
"I have fifty coins here. Send me fifty stone of black soil!"
"No, I don't have any extra black soil to sell."
After Ye Yanping finished speaking, he drove away on the sled.
"Hey, you're not going to make money even if you have it, are you stupid?" Wu Li was jumping up and down anxiously behind him. "Fifty cents, as long as you send forty stone of black soil over here, that should be fine, right?"
"Not a single stone!"
Wu Lizheng was so angry that he shouted, "Are you trying to raise the price? Tell me, how much do you sell your black soil for now?"
"I won't sell my black soil for any price now!"
"You..." Wu Lizheng was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Wu Lizheng, didn't you just say that the sooner you die, the sooner you'll be reborn? If you've already figured it out, why are you still buying black soil? So you don't want to be reborn soon?"
Wu Li was cursing behind him, "I've seen it all along. You guys from Heihe Village are just a bunch of hypocritical villains! You run around everywhere but you won't help at all!"
Looking at Jingui Village gradually disappearing into the distance, the village head shook his head and said, "How pitiful! To have such a village head, one can only wait for death!"
Not long after, the sled stopped at the entrance of Heihe Village.
Unlike the lifeless Jingwan Village and Jingui Village, the entrance of Heihe Village is full of vitality and everyone is full of energy.
"Village head, Xiao Jiuer, Yan Ping, you're back!"
"How's things going in Jingwan Village?"
The villagers greeted him one after another.
"Some more people died in Jingwan Village last night," the village chief said as he got off the sled. "We need to speed up the construction of this shelter!"
"Don't worry, Village Chief. Father Yan Ping has already made arrangements for everyone. Everyone will shovel snow this morning, and most of them will be sent out to build shelters in the afternoon."
"Try to build the shelter before tomorrow night!"
