"Then why don't I just stay here for one night? We can go down the mountain tomorrow." said the leader.
I just arrived in the village and haven't gained any benefits yet. How can I leave now?
"That's probably not possible," said the villagers. "With so many of you, there are simply no extra houses in the village.
You can't even find an empty house if you want to stay.
Either you have to live in the bullpen with them, or you have to sleep on the streets."
"Nonsense, who am I? How can I squeeze with bad guys? What about your village chief? There should be an empty room in his house." The leader said dissatisfiedly.
He was already very dissatisfied that the village chief did not come to greet him. He had been here for such a long time and didn't even have a sip of water to drink.
As for the reception, they just randomly arranged an ordinary villager.
In the past, I was always treated respectfully wherever I went. This village is really giving me no respect.
"Our village chief has to give face to even the commune director. I dare not ask him to arrange accommodation for me." said the man.
"What? We are here to carry out a mission, and with this attitude, I think your village is going to rebel." The leader burst into anger that he had been suppressing for a whole day.
"What? Are you running wild in our village?" The village chief came out from the side. "Whose orders are you following, and what mission are you carrying out?
Do you really think you can use chicken feathers as a token of authority? Great men have said that they will not take a single needle or thread from the people. Have you paid the people who led you on the road?
If you plan to stay here overnight, do you need to have two meals? Have you paid for the food and meat coupons?
Also, these bad elements asked our village to help shelter them. Didn’t they say that they would subsidize food to the village later?
Where's the food? If you guys come in with a lot of fanfare and each of you takes two kilograms, then dozens of kilograms of food will come out.
It’s not that you can’t take it, or that you have embezzled the subsidized food.
I would like to ask your leader, who gave you the right to eat and drink for free in our village? Was it an order from your superiors?
That superior, please tell me and I will verify it."
The village chief spoke as fiercely as a tiger, leaving the group of people speechless.
They are usually so arrogant, and no one dares to confront them.
"I, I..." The leader wanted to find a reason to criticize him, but he couldn't think of an excuse.
"Me? My family has been commoners for three generations. You seem to be a worker, right? Which factory do you work for?"
I'll go visit him tomorrow. Isn't it said that workers and civilians are one family?
It's normal for relatives to come over to entertain you.
It's winter and I have nothing to do, so I brought my fellow villagers to your house to chat.
Don’t you want to listen to someone talk? I’ll have people take turns visiting your home to talk to you. I’ll just provide food and lodging.” said the village chief.
"It's unreasonable." The man waved his hand and walked out of the village.
You can't really let people rely on your home.
"Follow them, don't let them get lost, and take them on a good journey." The village chief ordered.
"Okay." A young man took the order and quickly chased after the crowd: "Wait for me, I'll take you out of the village. The road is not easy to walk on."
Because of the geographical location of Dahulu, they asked the people from Xiaohulu Village to help bring them in when they entered the village in the morning.
Who knew that the road into the village was so difficult to walk on? It took us from eight or nine in the morning to two in the afternoon to get there.
I thought I could get a meal, but I was asked to leave the mountain without even a sip of water.
When has he ever suffered such a loss? Since he is here, shouldn’t he take some benefits and leave?
Who knew I'd run into a tough guy?
Led by the villagers, the group walked out of the mountains until midnight.
"Aren't you from the mountains? How come you even got the way out of the village wrong?" the leader yelled at the boy.
He hadn't eaten a single bite of food or drunk a single drop of water all day, and now he could barely crawl.
We thought we would have a feast, so we even came here on an empty stomach. Who knew...
"It's unfair. Didn't I lead you well from the beginning? I told you to walk faster because it was hard to find the way in the dark.
You guys were walking so slowly, who can you blame if you get lost later? Everyone knows that after dark, everything in the mountains is the same.
I'm already doing a great job of leading you out, okay?" the boy complained.
"You dare to talk back?" The leader was so angry that he had a headache. How come, now even a child doesn't take him seriously?
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Let me take you home. When I remember the way, I will ask the village chief to take me to your house to apologize tomorrow." The young man said and prepared to support him.
"No need, you can go back. You don't have to send me back, just send me here. You don't have to apologize, I forgive you." The leader suddenly thought of something and said quickly.
"That won't do. If the village chief knew I didn't send you home, he would scold me.
"And if you do something wrong, you have to apologize. It's the highest etiquette in our village to have the village chief come to apologize." The boy said sincerely.
"I said no, I forgive you, it's so late, shouldn't you go back?
If you don't go back soon, your family will be worried. We can just go on our own from now on." said the leader.
"You really don't need me to take you? Then I'll go back." The boy said, "If the village chief asks, remember to tell him that you didn't want me to take you."
"Okay, okay, go away." The leader said impatiently.
He is now afraid of exposing his family and letting them visit him every day.
"Brother Chen, this, this doesn't seem to be the road we took to go up the mountain this morning." Someone spoke tremblingly.
Just now, the group felt relieved after going down the mountain, and did not realize that there was no village here at all.
"Or, let's call that man back to lead the way." One woman was rather timid, so she moved closer to the other man.
"Everyone has run away, what's the point of shouting? No matter where we are, we just need to go. The road is so big, how can we not get out?" The leader was furious.
He felt that today was really unlucky.
“Awoo~Awoo~Awoo~Awoo~”
Unexpectedly, at this time, the howling of wolves came from behind again. Several people were scared and screamed, and ran forward in a flash.
If you look carefully, you can take the path on the right.
If we run out now and take the main road, we won't be able to get back to Qingshui Town until tomorrow noon at the earliest.
After seeing all this trouble, will you dare to come to Dahulu Village next time?
I believe that after this incident, no one will come in for a short time.
Not to mention the long journey, the weather is also getting colder.
Who would be willing to travel so far and suffer when they can stay at home comfortably?
Mr. Liu and his companions also arrived as everyone expected.
I have greeted the people in Xiaohulu Village, and if they see any trace of the four old men, they will be sent to Dahulu Village.
So Liu Ankang and his team got the news early and prepared food at home to welcome them.
