Chapter 911 Failure
Jiang Xiaoxiao was locked in the room.
Number Nine has regained his energy and is in high spirits.
"Sister, sister, I have recovered. Wuwanghua is indeed very powerful. Sister, you are so amazing."
"Sister! I'm hungry!"
"Sister! I want to eat fried chicken."
The noise gave Jiang Xiaoxiao a headache.
Number Nine is a chatterbox.
"Stop, stop, stop! Xiaojiu, the delicious food will be ready soon. You have recovered. Where is No. 10? Can you feel it?"
Ten second pause.
Jiang Xiaoxiao asked again, "Xiaojiu, where is number ten?"
The recovery pills are secondary. What I need is to find number ten.
Another ten seconds of silence.
Even though Jiang Xiaoxiao was slow to react, she could tell something was wrong.
"Xiaojiu? What happened?"
Number Nine answered timidly.
"Sister, I didn't find any trace of him on the 10th."
"Xiaojiu, what's going on? Do you mean he escaped? Or he didn't come to this world?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little angry. She had gone through so much trouble to help No. 9 find the Wuwang Flower and repair No. 9's energy, but this was not the result she wanted.
Could it be that Number Nine is playing tricks on himself?
Not likely.
At the beginning, No. 9 and Jiang Xiaoxiao got along happily.
Now tell yourself that number ten is gone.
Number Nine won’t lie to himself.
"Sister, I chased him here at first, but I didn't notice the shadow of No. 10 after I lost my energy. Now that I have recovered, I find that there is no trace of No. 10 here. Sister, don't worry, find the recovery pill first, and I will find a way to find the whereabouts of No. 10."
Number Nine himself was a little embarrassed. His sister was so good to him. She gave him all the delicious food and fun things, and even helped him find the Wuwang Flower. But he could not help his sister with anything. Number Nine felt sad.
"Silly boy, you tried your best. At that time, you lost energy. Since No. 10 has become intelligent, he must have sensed the danger. It is normal for him to run away. I will find the magic pill and you find No. 10. Only by working together can we defeat No. 10."
Jiang Xiaoxiao had a hunch that No. 10 would be difficult to deal with. This guy relied on the fact that he had more energy than No. 9, and he was probably fearless.
She and Number Nine must not have an internal conflict now.
"Thank you for trusting me, sister. I will find number 10 as soon as possible."
Number Nine was truly grateful for Jiang Xiaoxiao's trust. Even Wu Weiguo couldn't trust him at the beginning.
My sister really trusts him.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked worried.
The people in Gujia Village are restless.
Village Chief Gu convened a village committee meeting.
There is only one purpose.
Village chief Gu appealed to the villagers' emotions and reasoned with them, with the sole purpose of getting several elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in the village to bring their families to beg. Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others asked them to help the villagers for their survival.
To put it simply, they want to ask for help but don't want to be servile. This is using coercion to force others to help them, but they don't want to owe them a favor.
Village Chief Gu looked at the five families that were nominated.
"How about it? You all go together tomorrow. This is for the welfare of the villagers and for your survival. If you continue like this, no one will survive."
The village had been out of food for a long time, so of course the village chief must have food. Village Chief Gu controls most of the village's reserve grain.
As long as she is willing to give it out, the villagers can still have enough to eat.
But Village Chief Gu has always insisted that these reserve grains should last for a year, so how can they be taken out now? Moreover, these old, weak, sick and disabled people will probably be the first to be abandoned by the first interest chain in the village.
Even if there was food, it would be impossible to distribute it to these people. Of course, this was the only requirement used to force these people to go to Jiang Xiaoxiao and others to beg for mercy.
The five families nominated were indeed all elderly, weak, sick and disabled.
The old lady was trembling as she leaned on a cane.
"Whoever wants to go can go, but I'm not going. The people in our village did something worse than pigs and dogs to them, and in the end, threatening them failed, begging them failed, and they pushed us out to be used as a shield.
Why do you think we are stupid? They have food to eat, they rely on their own ability, otherwise you should just punish those who attacked them. They have put forward conditions, why use us as a shield?
We have never eaten the food in the village. Now when it comes to hiring people, they push us out. Whoever wants to go can go, but I won't go anyway.
Old man, let's go. Don't listen to the nonsense these people are talking about here. They eat and drink enough every day, but they still think about the things in other people's hands. Don't think we are stupid, we just think that they can have supernatural powers.
I'm afraid that none of us in the Medicine God Association have produced anything like this for generations. Now that they've set their sights on us, if you have the guts, come on. We can't stand up to their fire. We old bones should just go home and stay indoors."
The family evacuated.
The remaining four households looked at each other with determined eyes.
"We won't go either. Whoever wants to go can go. We can starve to death, but we won't joke with our lives."
The other four households also left.
The remaining group of people looked at each other.
"Wait, if you're willing to go, each family will be given fifty kilograms of rice. Fifty kilograms of rice!"
Gu Ming shouted from behind.
This is raw white rice.
Four families rolled their eyes, who cares?
They eat bamboo rice.
Recently they followed them and took advantage of the situation, and stored a lot of bamboo rice at home.
They all knew that people had clearly cleared the bamboo forest on purpose. Each time they only collected a small amount of bamboo rice and then quickly left. There was a large amount of bamboo rice in the bamboo forest.
More than a dozen families with old, weak, sick and disabled people had already been tied together into a rope.
Everyone followed others and collected rice at any time. Now every household has stored at least several hundred kilograms of bamboo rice. After eating the bamboo rice, people feel much better and even some of their old ailments have been cured. Just for the sake of the bamboo rice, they know that it is a good thing.
The reason why the bamboo caterpillars can stay in the bamboo forest must be for the rice. Now they have not only harvested so much food, but they can also survive for one year, or even two years.
The most important thing is that after eating this good thing, they can feel that they have become stronger. Some people have grown new teeth, and some people’s white hair has turned black.
What is the concept?
There is a feeling of being reborn.
After receiving such a huge benefit, if they still help the people in the village to harm five people, they would be very heartless.
The few remaining families left one after another.
If they had done something really crazy just for a bite of food in the past, but now they want to be human beings, to be upright people.
There are actually not many families who can survive in the village. In recent years, there have been only thirty or forty families in the village, and now more than a dozen families have left.
The remaining twenty or so households looked at each other.
Village Chief Gu gritted his teeth and said, "If they don't want to go, forget it. Let's be more direct and just use your idea."
These words were spoken to Gu Ming, who had said at the beginning that he would drug her.
