Chapter 385 Return to Phoenix Village!
Xiao Meng really didn't want to go to Phoenix Village. Yesterday's trip had already left a shadow in her heart.
The people in that village are not good people.
"If you don't want to go, I'll go by myself. Pudding, let's go!"
Bai Wei still couldn't let go of the woman who was abused at home, so she decided to go there herself.
"Master!"
As soon as I saw Bai Wei walking forward with Pudding.
Pudding is now much bigger than the small one it was before. Following Bai Wei, he is the size of a medium-sized dog.
Xiao Meng couldn't really let Bai Wei go alone. Although she felt uneasy, she still followed Bai Wei's pace. The two of them took Pudding with them and walked towards Phoenix Village together.
To go to Phoenix Village, one has to pass by the tobacco field. As soon as Bai Wei arrived, he saw Xin Nan and his companions, who were actually guarding the edge of the field.
But today some people were smart and made straw hats out of leaves and put them on their heads so that they wouldn't be too exposed to the sun.
"Why are you here?"
Bai Wei stepped forward and asked.
Hearing Bai Wei's voice, Xin Nan immediately sat up from the ground, rubbed his hands, looked at Bai Wei and said.
"I...I'll help you guard the land."
"It's so hot, no one will come to steal, you should go back."
Bai Wei waved her hand. She had already said it in Phoenix Village yesterday. She believed that no one would be stupid enough to steal her tobacco leaves.
She motioned for Xinnan to leave first, but Xinnan hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"Sister, it was... the village chief who asked us to come and watch. If your tobacco leaves... can really be sold, can we grow them in our village as well?"
Xinnan was really scared.
He didn't want to live that kind of life where he had no food to eat.
The village chief told him yesterday to keep an eye on it. If the tobacco leaves can really be harvested, then they will have the opportunity to grow tobacco.
"You want to plant?"
Bai Wei was a little surprised. She asked a question and Xin Nan nodded vigorously.
"Yes! The village chief said so! He said so, so there is an opportunity! Sister, you grow tobacco so well, if we follow you, our life will be better."
Xinnan's eyes were full of light.
The harvest from the land in their village was really pitiful. Even the potatoes they grew were very small and not enough for people to eat.
If their village can grow tobacco leaves, then the whole village can live a good life in the future!
Bai Wei really didn't expect that Xin Changcheng, the seemingly stubborn and obstinate old man, would actually have ideas about growing tobacco.
"Xinnan, do you really want to follow me?"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Yes! Sister, I think you are a capable person! At least I have never seen vegetables as good as yours grown in our village! No, give me tobacco leaves!"
Xinnan pointed to the tobacco in the field. It looked so good that he had never seen anything like it before.
They are all farmers who make their living from the land. If the land can be cultivated well, who would be willing to be a thief who is looked down upon by others?
"Sinnan, I can help you. But you have to do me a favor."
There was a hint of smile in Bai Wei's eyes.
Xinnan asked doubtfully.
"What are you doing?"
"That hunchbacked woman at home, I want to go see her..."
Before Bai Wei could finish her words, Xin Nan's eyes widened and he kept waving his hands.
"Sister, I advise you not to mess with Hunchback! He is a lunatic!"
As soon as he said this, the friends behind him also came forward, each with a nervous look on their face.
"Yes, that hunchbacked old man is a psychopath, so he's not normal either! Brother Nan stole a chicken from him before, and he chased us with a machete, and Brother Nan's knees were even chopped to pieces!"
"Yes, if Uncle Guojun hadn't arrived earlier, Hunchback might have hacked Brother Nan to death!"
"The woman in his house was bought by him. If you dare to touch her, he will kill you!"
Several young men were talking to each other, fear in their eyes.
"Is it really that scary to chop someone with a machete?"
Xiao Meng held Pudding in her arms and asked with some confusion.
Xinnan glanced at Xiaomeng and pulled up his trouser legs.
He was tall but very thin, with air leaking through his trouser legs. When he pulled up his trouser legs, his knees were exposed. There was a shocking scar on his knee, just like a centipede, which scared Xiao Meng so much that her face turned pale.
"Sister, you really shouldn't mess with Hunchback, he's a lunatic!"
Xin Nan's face was solemn and he stared at Bai Wei nervously.
Several teenagers also shook their heads.
"He would kill someone if you stole his chicken. He would never survive if you stole his wife."
Bai Wei's heart sank as he listened to what everyone said.
This hunchback is definitely not a normal person. He bought the woman and tortured her into that state yesterday. If she stays any longer, will she die in his hands one day?
"If you help me, I'll treat you to braised pork! Eat until you're full!"
Looking at everyone's shocked expressions, Bai Wei suddenly said something.
Braised pork?
When Xinnan and the others heard this, they couldn't help but swallow hard.
They haven't tasted meat for many years!
They can even eat all they want, but this kind of temptation is fatal to them.
"But we won't throw away our lives for a meal of meat, right?"
A thin boy muttered quietly.
His words brought everyone back to their senses. The temptation of braised pork was indeed irresistible.
But compared to one's life, a meal of meat doesn't seem that important.
"You don't have to force yourself to do this. You just need to do me a small favor."
Bai Wei looked at Xin Nan and the others and told them her plan one by one.
Several people stood in front of Bai Wei, and their faces changed slightly when they listened to Bai Wei's plan.
"As long as you do what I say, I promise to treat you to braised pork and rice. Enough! Eat until you have to lean against the wall to get out!"
Bai Wei's voice was sonorous and powerful.
Thinking of the steaming white rice and the sweet, soft, juicy braised pork, everyone was really excited.
"Okay! Sister, we'll help you!"
Xin Nan agreed immediately, "But no need for braised pork, just give us a meal of white rice!"
Thinking about Bai Wei's plan, it’s not that difficult.
When Xin Nan and the other six people were together, Bai Wei would be so exhausted by the braised pork that he didn't want Bai Wei to spend so much money.
Hearing Xinnan's words, Xiao Meng looked at him with some surprise.
This young man from a poor family is really different from those people in Phoenix Village!
