Chapter 176 Don’t Be a Sucker
Then came a creepy wolf howl.
Dozens of huge wild wolves suddenly rushed out of the city gate.
"Wolf! It's a wolf!"
Except for Jingwan Village and Zhushan Village, which had already ridden the wolf sled, all the other villages were so scared that they collapsed on the ground.
It’s not that I don’t want to escape, but I really can’t escape anymore.
Just die, you won’t be able to survive anyway.
The victims closed their eyes and waited quietly for the arrival of death.
What they didn't expect was that the wolves didn't bite anyone after rushing out, but just glanced at them with bared teeth as a warning.
Then, they turned around and looked at the city gate, as if they were welcoming some important person.
The whole place was silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the city gate.
Soon, a majestic snow-white wolf came out with an arrogant look on its face, carrying a chubby, white and tender baby on its back.
The victims opened their mouths wide, unable to believe their eyes.
Is this true?
The wolf was carrying a baby!
And they had all seen this little baby before, the one who was kidnapped by the bandits and then sent back!
That day, the little baby rode on the bandit leader's neck like this!
Why can this doll always do things that ordinary people can't do?!
Why is she so capable?!
"Nimen, is Zundu fake?"
The little baby riding on the wolf blinked his big black and white eyes and spoke again in a soft voice.
The victims were stunned.
"Are you...asking us?"
"Yes!" The little baby smiled sweetly.
"Zhuang Lizheng, the little girl..."
The victims looked at the head of the village. Is this little kid the one who calls the shots in Heihe Village now?
"Xiao Jiuer asks, just answer! Was what you said just now true or false?" the village head asked loudly.
When Xiao Jiuer came, he instantly stopped being panicky and irritable, and his brows relaxed.
"Of course it's true...we keep our word!"
"As long as Heihe Village saves our lives this time, we will definitely obey Heihe Village's orders in the future!"
The victims began to speak.
"I'm afraid you don't even believe what you say!"
The village head snorted coldly, "A few months ago, Heihe Village distributed porridge. Who among you didn't come and have a taste of it? Who among you wasn't grateful at the time? But what about afterward? Do you consider Heihe Village your benefactor?"
"Heihe Village kindly warned you about the snowstorm, but you ignored it and laughed at it! You are not worthy of trust or sympathy at all!"
"The headman is right!"
The villagers of Heihe Village echoed this.
"They are a bunch of ungrateful wolves without any conscience!"
"They are speaking so nicely now because they need something from us!"
"Once we rescue them, they'll treat today's promise as bullshit!"
"They came over here like this without even asking if we were willing or not. We're all from the same village, so why should we have to rescue them? They're basically coercing us!"
"No, no, no, we are sincere this time!" Several village heads hurried forward.
"We swear!"
"As long as we survive this snowstorm, we'll be at the mercy of Heihe Village!"
Several village chiefs were so cold that their faces turned blue and purple, and their upper and lower teeth were chattering.
The village heads who had previously been at odds with Heihe Village didn't even dare to raise their heads.
"Swearing is useless!" The village head waved his hand, "I don't believe it!"
"Zhuang Lizheng, then tell me, what do we have to do for you to believe us?"
"Zhuang Lizheng, just speak up!"
"We can sign a document and have the whole village sign it!"
…
The village head picked up the little girl and whispered, "Hey, little ancestor, why are you asking them if it's true or not? No matter whether it's true or not, we can't save these people!"
"Yes!" said the little dumpling with a smile.
The village head's eyes widened. "A new solution? Didn't we have no solution last night?"
The little dumpling grinned.
Originally there wasn’t any!
I don’t know what happened, but when I woke up there was wood in the space!
This is the first time this has happened, and I don't know who is helping me.
The headman suddenly felt confident and cleared his throat. "Words are not enough, we need written evidence! Yanshun, you need to write a document now, and everyone must sign and fingerprint it! Anyone who doesn't want to leave here immediately!"
Ye Yanshun nodded and did it immediately.
"Zhuang Lizheng, in that case, are we saved?"
Everyone looked humble, cautious yet expectant.
"Um."
The head of the village is very frugal with words, and today he rarely shows any arrogance.
He discovered that people who are too kind are easily bullied.
Heihe Village can save people, but it cannot be taken advantage of.
If you want me to save you, you must show your sincerity!
"Brother, let's sign too!"
"This is what we owe to Heihe Village!"
The two village heads, Sun and Feng, ran forward.
The village head said nothing and led the villagers of Heihe Village straight to the ancestral hall.
After opening the door of the ancestral hall, it was indeed full of wood.
"Oh my God!" Everyone was stunned.
The village headman waved his hand calmly, "Move the wood out. This time we'll just provide the materials, and let them build the shelter themselves!"
"Listen to the headman!"
The villagers of Heihe Village carried the timber out of the village.
Next, Ye Yanshun wrote the credentials and asked each village to sign and fingerprint them.
Next, each village will build its own shelter.
The villagers of Heihe Village were kind-hearted. Seeing that the old and young were shivering from the cold, they lit a fire in the stove outside the village and cooked porridge for them to drink to warm themselves up.
After the villages recovered, they discussed and decided that every two villages would jointly build a shelter.
Jingwan Village and Zhushan Village are still using the previous shelters.
The two villages offered to help other villages.
After each village decided on its location, they began to get busy.
If you want to survive, you must build a shelter before dark, otherwise you will freeze to death that night.
Time was tight and the task was heavy. The villagers were so anxious that they didn't even have time to say a word, and many people cried in anxiety.
They had no confidence at all that they could build a shelter in such a short time. They had been suffering from hunger and cold for a long time and had no strength left. Even if they tried their best, they might not be able to complete it.
The people of Heihe Village could not bear it any longer, and all the men, women, and children in the village went out together. Together with the villages of Jingwan and Zhushan, they finally built three shelters at night.
Heihe Village delivered braziers and fuel to each shelter, and finally withdrew after completing their mission, closed the city gates, and slept peacefully.
The matter finally came to an end, and the victims were able to save their lives.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is almost the New Year.
Although the snow stopped falling, the sky still did not clear up.
During this period, the Ye family made a decision to set Xiao Jiuer's birthday on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, let the dough rise.
On this day every year, the people of Dayuchao make rice cakes, steam buns and paste window decorations.
However, due to continuous disasters in recent years, Heihe Village has not celebrated the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month for a long time.
This year is different. Since it is Xiaojiuer’s birthday, they are going to celebrate it with great fanfare!
