Chapter 311 Heading to Phoenix Village

"That's not necessary. I'll just put up a sign saying that these are tobacco leaves and cannot be eaten."

Bai Wei smiled. She really wouldn't let these guys stay with her for a whole month.

"Most people in our village...can't read."

When he said this, Xinnan showed a rare look of embarrassment on his face.

"Auntie, we stole your vegetables, please don't hit us or scold us. We can help you guard this land until you have a harvest!"

Little Melon stood up and said.

This is what Brother Nan said before, and they all agreed.

The people of Phoenix Village have always been unwelcome. This is the first time that Bai Wei has been so kind to them.

"Is the situation in Phoenix Village really that bad?"

Even Bai Wei was somewhat curious. Have the people in Phoenix Village reached the point where they want to steal even the vegetable leaves?

"Sister Bai Wei, you don't know that although the name of Fenghuang Village is Fenghuang, in reality, the people there are not even as good as shed chickens. It's normal for them to not be full after three meals a day. Look at them, which one of them is not skinny and pale from hunger?"

Zhao Fengzhu pointed at Xinnan and his companions.

A breeze blew by, and the green leaves of the tobacco on the ground swayed. Xinnan and his companions were standing under the scorching sun, their faces were sunburned red, and it seemed that they had been guarding for most of the day.

"What's your name, little comrade?"

Bai Wei suddenly asked.

After Xin Nan was stunned for a moment, he first glanced at Xiao Meng and then answered.

"My name is Xinnan, Xin means hard work and Nan means south."

"Your name is so pretty."

Xiao Meng couldn't help but say something.

Compared to her original name He Zhaodi, Xinnan's name is really much better.

Hearing Xiao Meng's praise, Xin Nan lowered his head slightly, with a hint of smile on his lips.

"Xinnan, can you take me to your village?"

Bai Wei's words made Xin Nan stunned for a moment, but before he could react, Zhao Fengzhu seemed very excited. She pulled Bai Wei over and stared at her nervously.

"Sister Bai Wei, what are you talking about? What are you going to do in Phoenix Village?"

When Zhao Fengzhu thought of Fenghuang Village, he became very scared.

"Poor mountains and bad waters produce bad people, don't you know that?"

"We are not troublemakers! We are just looking for a bite to eat, and we haven't done anything against the law!"

Xin Nan heard what Zhao Fengzhu said and responded loudly.

Zhao Fengzhu ignored him and held Bai Wei's hand and said.

"Sister Bai Wei, what they have to guard is their own business, which has nothing to do with you. You want to go to Phoenix Village, that's definitely not possible! That place is poor and run-down, what are you going to do there?"

Bai Wei didn't expect Zhao Fengzhu to be so excited.

"Sister-in-law, I'm just going to take a look. Phoenix Village is close, so it's impossible for anything to happen. Besides, there are still a few of them following me."

Bai Wei was really curious about Phoenix Village...

The most important point is that her plan to cooperate in growing tobacco leaves has never been absent from her mind.

Although Song Qinian had rejected the idea last time, she still felt that Phoenix Village was close and was a good choice. Since she happened to meet Xin Nan this time, she might as well go and check out the situation.

"Sister Bai Wei, you can't go! If you really want to go, why don't you tell Captain Song and ask him to accompany you?"

Seeing Zhao Fengzhu's disgusted look, Xin Nan couldn't help it.

"We are just poor, not without dignity. You don't have to insult us like this!"

Xin Nan walked in front of Zhao Fengzhu, speaking with each word in a sonorous voice. He turned his head to look at Bai Wei and said in a deep voice.

"If you want to go to Phoenix Village, I can take you there. I, Xin Nan, promise with my life that you will come back safe and sound, without losing a single hair!"

Zhao Fengzhu was stunned for a moment. She did not expect Xinnan's reaction to be so strong.

Bai Wei stared at Xin Nan and felt even more admiration for him.

"Sister-in-law, look, Xin Nan has promised that everything will be fine, so I'll go and take a look."

"you……"

Seeing how determined Bai Wei was, Zhao Fengzhu knew that he probably wouldn't be able to convince her.

"Sister Bai Wei, it's okay if you want to go. I...I will go with you! If we have more people, we can always take care of each other."

Bai smiled slightly, knowing that Zhao Fengzhu was a person with a hard mouth but a soft heart.

She had a sudden urge to go to Fenghuang Village to take a look, but she didn't expect that Zhao Fengzhu would also go with her.

"Okay, then Sister Fengzhu, let's go together. Xinnan, you lead the way for us."

Xin Nan glanced at Bai Wei. He thought she was just talking casually, but she really wanted to go now.

"Then let's go!"

Xinnan walked forward, and the other boys followed her.

Bai Wei pulled Xiao Meng and followed Xin Nan. Zhao Fengzhu could only sigh when she saw that Bai Wei had made the decision, but she still held the basin and followed Bai Wei forward.

Phoenix Village was only a few ridges away from the troops. Xin Nan led Bai Wei and his party all the way to Phoenix Village.

Although it was close, Bai Wei had never been to Fenghuang Village before, not even Zhao Fengzhu.

At the end of the field was a cypress forest. Xinnan led a few people into the forest and pointed forward.

"Our village is just ahead."

Phoenix Village was hidden behind a cypress forest. Bai Wei looked up at the village in front of him. It was full of thatched houses with mud walls. Even from a distance, he could see traces of cracks and stains.

There is a large field in front of the village, but now the land is almost barren. Even if there are some vegetables planted, they are not growing well and look very bleak.

"Xinnan, does your village...no one farms?"

Bai Wei walked to the field and squatted down to take a look. The land here was indeed very barren, even more desolate than the land where she grew tobacco.

"Yes, but we can't grow anything on the land here. Look over there, they are all planted with potatoes. A large area of ​​them will die. Even if we can dig out some, they are very small."

Xinnan stretched out his finger and pointed at the patch of seedlings that were not yet fully grown.

"Xinnan! Who told you to bring outsiders to our village?"

While Bai Wei and Xin Nan were talking, a cold shout suddenly rang out.

Bai Wei raised his eyes and saw a white-haired old man sitting at the edge of the field, followed by a group of men. All of them were staring at them ferociously, their eyes full of hostility.

"Bai Wei, look! I told you, the people in Phoenix Village are all unruly! Look at them, how vicious they are!"

When Zhao Fengzhu saw those men, she took Bai Wei's hand and took a step back, her eyes filled with fear.

This Phoenix Village is not a good place, she shouldn't have come here!
