Chapter 174 Human Snowplow
There are crowds of people at the entrance of Heihe Village.
The shelter was crowded with people.
When we arrived from Zhushan Village, people from Jingwan Village were eating a big pot meal.
Seeing their fellow sufferers from Zhushan Village, the people of Jingwan Village put down their work and warmly welcomed them.
In fact, they were not familiar with each other on weekdays, but at this moment they felt a sense of mutual understanding and sympathy, as if they were sharing weal and woe, and fellow villagers had tears in their eyes when they met.
What does it mean to cry before opening your mouth?
Just look at the two village heads, Sun and Feng, and you will know.
"Are these the only people left in Zhushan Village?" Feng Lizheng's eyes were filled with tears.
"Yes! The elderly couldn't survive. Many people froze to death, and many people were crushed to death by the collapsed houses..." Sun Lizheng cried miserably.
"How great it would have been if we had trusted the people from Heihe Village!"
"That's right! Thinking back to a month ago, I wanted to kill myself!"
The two were overwhelmed with grief and cried bitterly, hugging each other.
Li Zheng Sun patted Li Zheng Feng on the back and said, "Old Feng, how come you are so smart that you thought of blowing the horn? Where is that life-saving horn? We must keep it in good condition!"
"Old Sun, your trumpet is also a hero! Put it in the village ancestral hall and worship it!"
Zhuang Lizheng: Give your grandma a leg!
…
The villagers of Heihe Village did not go outside to join in the fun.
Anyway, the shelter will be built there, and the site will be handed over to them. They can distribute it however they want, and Heihe Village will not interfere.
It’s not that they are not enthusiastic, but they are really exhausted recently and they need a good rest.
After dinner, everyone gathered in front of the ancestral hall.
"Fellow villagers, this is the situation now. Hongfeng Village also sounded the gong today, and it goes without saying that other villages did the same. It's just that they are far away and we can't hear them!" The village head's voice was full of helplessness.
Zhushan Village originally had 700 to 800 people, but now there are only a little over 300 left, and the same is probably true for other villages.
Although I don't owe them anything, my heart can't help but tighten when I think of so many lives.
"Village head, there's only one shelter. People from Jingwan Village and Zhushan Village are already packed to the brim. There's no place for more people to stay."
"It's not that we don't want to save him, it's that we simply don't have the ability to do so!"
"If another village comes, won't the shelter be packed with people?"
Everyone was talking at once, when suddenly, there were "wooooo" and "beep beep" sounds coming from outside the city gate.
Isn’t this the sound of Li Zheng Feng’s horn and Li Zheng Sun’s trumpet?
Did something happen outside?
Since the snow began, Heihe Village has not arranged any personnel to guard the city wall, so they have no idea what is happening outside the city gate.
"Could it be that the two villages are fighting over territory?"
"You wouldn't be so ignorant at a time like this, would you?"
"Let's go and take a look!"
The heavy city gate opened, and Li Zheng Feng and Li Zheng Sun stood in front of the gate.
"What's the matter? What are you bragging about again?" the village head asked unhappily.
"Brother, look!" Feng and Sun moved aside.
The people of Heihe Village were stunned.
At the city gate, people were kneeling densely on the ground.
These people were carrying bags and holding babies. They were covered in snow from head to toe, as if they had crawled out of a snowdrift. Their faces were invisible, with only a pair of eyes and two nostrils showing.
Warriors!
They just waded through such deep snow?
"Who are you...?" The village head looked suspicious.
"Zhuang Lizheng, we are from Jingui Village." said the tall and thin man in the lead.
Jingui Village?
When they heard these three words, the people of Heihe Village were furious.
"How dare you come to Jingui Village? Didn't you laugh at us every day? Didn't you say this year would be a warm winter?"
"Didn't we say we were bored and full? So you're also full now. Why don't you stay indoors on a snowy day and come to our village to kneel before us?"
Jinguicun lowered his head and said nothing. They were shivering in the cold wind, looking as miserable as they could be.
"What are you doing kneeling here? Get up quickly." The headman's tone was cold.
"Zhuang Lizheng, please save us, we crawled all the way here."
"We were indeed wrong about what happened before. We are the ones who let Heihe Village down!"
Jinguicun started to kowtow as he spoke.
"Don't try that!" the village head said coldly, "The immoral things you did before can't be undone by a few words. Didn't your Wu Lizheng say that no one can save anyone now! Go back to where you came from and wish you good luck!"
"Zhuanglizheng, we have nowhere else to go!" the villagers of Jingui Village said, "We have broken off relations with Wu Liangshan today."
"Did you come to Heihe Village on your own? Without his consent?" the village head asked in surprise.
"Yes, we threw snowballs at his house and he told us to get out of Heihe Village, so we left."
"Everyone... have left?" The village head widened his eyes.
"Yes, now in the entire Jingui Village, only Wu Liangshan's family is left."
Everyone: “…”
I've never seen this before!
The whole village abandoned the headman, what does this mean?
"Please ask Zhuang Lizheng to take us in!"
"Please ask Heihe Village to take us in!"
"We request to join Heihe Village! We will definitely turn over a new leaf and become new people!"
Jingwan Village: “…”
Zhushan Village: “…”
Is this possible?
"That's a nice thought!" The villagers of Heihe Village jumped up. "Can you enter Heihe Village just because you want to? Stop dreaming!"
If it were in the past, everyone would be very happy if so many people wanted to join Heihe Village. After all, population is an important indicator to measure the strength of a village.
But things are different now. The strength of Heihe Village does not need to be proven by its population. Now, not just anyone can enter Heihe Village.
The village head waved his hand. "It's not that I don't want to save you, but we only have one shelter. As long as there's space, we're happy for anyone to stay. If you want to stay, go ask Village Head Feng or Village Head Sun if there's still room in the shelter!"
The villagers of Jingui Village immediately looked at the two village heads.
Feng Lizheng: ???
Sun Lizheng: ???
No, why did the pressure suddenly come to me?
"Li Zheng Feng, Li Zheng Sun, please let us in and warm ourselves by the fire! We are almost freezing!" Jinguicun begged.
Sun and Feng held their foreheads, "Hey! Come on in! It won't be too crowded after all!"
…
The villagers of Heihe Village retreated back to the village, closed the city gates, and cut off from the outside world.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Life outside is really too difficult, Heihe Village is simply a paradise.
"Have a good sleep!" The little girl in Ye Yanping's arms suddenly spoke up, "Tomorrow will be very busy!"
"Xiao Jiuer, what are you going to do tomorrow?"
"Hey!" The little dumpling blinked his big, bright eyes and sighed softly, "Everyone will come!"
"Are they all coming?"
"Xiao Jiu'er means that other villages will follow Jingui Village's example and come here on their own?"
“Yes!”
The village head staggered, "Someone pinch my philtrum!"
