However, he did not intend to let anyone investigate. After all, Li Mengyue was already his and was pregnant with his child, so she also tacitly accepted the title of princess.
Even if Li Mengyue has a secret, so what? As long as he knows that Li Mengyue will not do anything harmful, can give birth to his child, and they will raise the child together in the future, that's enough.
Li Mengyue stayed at Banyue Villa to discuss with Xie Ruiyuan about food and the issue of getting refugees to participate in the construction of the reservoir. She did not go to Xinghua Village until dark with Xie Ruiyuan.
The sun set and the sky gradually darkened. The men from Xinghua Village who joined the patrol team began patrolling according to the assigned procedures.
There is no way, the number of refugees is increasing.
A few days ago, Li Mengyue told the villagers about the refugees. Although everyone obeyed and formed a patrol team, some people did not take it seriously.
They thought that no matter what the refugees were doing, they would not come into the village to rob people. Besides, even if they came to rob, there were so many people in the village that they could drive them away.
But no matter what they thought, no one dared to say that the patrol team was useless, and they still patrolled as usual every day.
The village chief has also asked people to bring back food from the town, which has further increased the enthusiasm of the patrol members.
However, the arrival of the villagers from Zhulin Village that night dealt a severe blow to the entire Xinghua Village.
The people who will be participating in the patrol tonight are Wang Daniu, Wang Erniu, Li Dazhu, Li Erzhu, Li Yan, Li Nian and other ten people.
The first person to discover the villagers of Zhulin Village was Li Yan.
"Look, is there someone coming?"
"They are from Zhulin Village, and the one leading the group is Zhu, the village chief."
"Quick, Erniu, notify the village chief. I'm afraid they are here with bad intentions." Li Yan looked at the dark crowd behind Zhu Lei and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Zhulin Village has a population of more than 2,000 and is the largest village in Qingshan Town. They usually look down on other villages and always think they are the boss. They harass villagers from other villages from time to time, and their Xinghua Village is no exception.
It's just that their village and the other six villages are so poor that Zhulin Village can't make much money, so they didn't do anything too big.
But this year is different. With Li Mengyue in their village, they have made a lot of money by selling locusts. Every household is no longer in a situation where they can't get enough to eat even if they tighten their belts.
The arrival of people from Zhulin Village at this time was definitely not a good thing, and it was unexpected.
Zhulin Village Chief Zhu stepped forward and threatened, "I heard your village acquired a large amount of grain a while ago, but now everyone is suffering from a locust plague, and the fields have been completely destroyed. Zhulin Village has a large population, and they go hungry every day. Their faces are pale from hunger. If they can't eat any more food, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on. Xinghua Village has fewer people, so why not lend us the grain first? We'll return it to your village in full when the grain arrives next year."
After Zhu Lei finished speaking, the patrol team members all looked very ugly, but they knew that the other side had more people, and if they took action, they would probably be beaten so badly that their parents wouldn't recognize them.
They lived in the same town, although not in the same village, but they knew a little about Zhulin Village.
Many villagers in Zhulin Village are lazy and never work in the fields. They don't pull out the grass that grows there, and the grass is even taller than the crops.
In their village, they work in the fields every day during the busy farming season, and when they are not busy, they will find ways to find work to supplement their family income.
But even so, their village was still poor, and life was nowhere near as good as the ones in Zhulin Village.
They also knew that the reason Zhulin Village was like this was because it was based on robbery.
They didn't know where the things were stolen from Zhulin Village, but the villagers of Zhulin Village didn't rely on farming for their livelihood.
That’s it, the villagers of Zhulin Village all have a bandit-like spirit.
