Chapter 8 Iron Fool
"Yeah, where are the delicious fish and meat? Didn't you say that as long as we get to Yangliu Town, we can eat and drink our fill and no more people will die?"
"Laifu, you bastard, have you been lying to us all this time?"
"Liar, the village chief is a liar!"
Ding Rong's shouting was like opening a hole in the dike. The villagers all started shouting, wishing they could vent all the hardships they had endured along the way on to Village Chief Lai Fu.
Some of the young and strong men simply rolled up their tattered sleeves and prepared to hit people: "If you don't come up with a solution today, we will beat you to death in Yangliu Town."
"Yes, beat him, beat him!"
It was a very exciting scene, leaving the three members of the Ding family stunned.
Oh my god!
Who are these people?
Village Chief Lai Fu tried hard to find them a way to survive, but wasn't this "forget plum" method of quenching thirst also a helpless move? Now that they can't get food, they all turn around and become ungrateful.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Village Chief Lai Fu's family naturally stepped forward to stand with him.
But the scene was so pitiful: a 90-year-old grandmother, a 70-year-old mother, a daughter-in-law and two twin sons, both of whom were 18 years old.
We had originally planned to get married this year, but there was a severe drought and the girl's family had already disappeared.
Although the whole family supports Lai Fu now, there are two elderly people who look frail, and the team is composed of half men and half women. But if those villagers rush forward, the village chief and his family will definitely suffer.
As they were talking, the men who were causing trouble had already started to fight, and the two sides were on the verge of a fight. No matter how soft-spoken the village chief Lai Fu was, it was no longer any use!
But Ding Xiaodie knew that this fight...could not be fought.
Once you start, you can never stop.
She rushed out without a second thought, her short legs slithering through the crowd...
"Baoer?"
By the time Ding Gui and Zhang Xiu reacted, she had already run far away.
"You can't fight. You can't fight."
Ding Xiaodie squeezed in from the crowd, spreading her short arms to protect the village chief and his family, and tried to amplify her voice, which was as weak as a kitten's. "Don't forget why the village chief brought us out here. It was to save our lives. If we don't come out, can you survive in Aozi Village?"
Everyone: “…”
Hey, how dare this little girl from the Ding family rush out?
I saw that her small body looked very skinny, one side of her braid was crooked and messy, and there seemed to be footprints on her face as if she had been stepped on last night.
And on this dark little face, the pair of big eyes were very clear and firm, completely unlike his usual weak and fearful appearance.
This time everyone in the audience was stunned.
There was complete silence all around.
Between the two groups, Little One raised his head and said, "The situation in Yangliu Town is completely out of Uncle Lai Fu's control. Moreover, he could have easily fled the famine with his own family, but he took everyone with him to find a way out. Shouldn't you be grateful to him?"
“…”
The troublemakers were completely confused. Were they being taught a lesson by a little brat?
Village chief Lai Fu felt like crying at this moment. He never expected that among all the villagers, it was such a little girl who understood his difficulties the most.
There was silence for about five seconds, and no one in the village spoke.
Both the Ding Rong and Ding De families stood there in shock.
Is that person really Ding Xiaodie?
Suddenly, all the silence was broken by Ding Gui.
He was seen carrying Wang Dafeng on his back, with his wife Zhang Xiu by his side. The three of them hurriedly pushed through the crowd and squeezed in to stand with their precious daughter, shouting at the top of their lungs: "We support the village chief."
Wang Dafeng roared, "Count me in as an old woman."
The villagers were shocked again: "..."
Ding Gui has changed too?
What is Wang Dafeng trying to do?
At this moment, with a woosh sound, the ninety-year-old grandmother of the village chief Lai Fu suddenly burst into tears.
This cry was like a catalyst, making this group of people, young and old, full of justice, seem full of tragedy and grandeur, and so...
“My family also supports the village chief.”
"My family, too."
"On behalf of my entire family, I support the village chief."
In an instant, voices of support arose, and more and more people stood behind the village chief's family.
Although everyone was angry and their stomachs were growling with hunger, everyone had a scale in their hearts and understood that Ding Xiaodie was right in asking the right question. If they stayed in Aozi Village, could they survive?
Obviously he can't survive.
When they began to flee the famine with their families, the bark of the thousand-year-old tree at the entrance of the village had been eaten away.
If you stay here any longer, you will die.
If they had fled the famine on their own, they wouldn't know where to go. Fortunately, Village Chief Lai Fu was leading them, so at least they had a direction.
After the voices of support gradually died down, the villagers turned around and began to scold the troublemakers.
Seeing that the matter had not been resolved and they had become the target of public criticism, the daughters-in-law who took the lead immediately grabbed their ears and apologized to Village Chief Lai Fu.
They said that they were wrong, and they would definitely listen to the village chief in the future and would never dare to make trouble again, etc.
Ding Xiaodie rolled her eyes: "Tsk!"
"Xiaodie, thank you!"
"Here, Xiaodie."
At this moment, two faces that looked similar appeared in front of me. They were the twin sons of Village Chief Lai Fu, Dabao and Erbao. Dabao had a dimple on the left and Erbao had a dimple on the right. Apart from that, they looked almost exactly the same.
He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, starry eyes, a high and straight nose, and thin lips with perfect shape, but his personality is a bit... stupid.
Honest, too honest.
At this moment, they felt that Ding Xiaodie had stepped forward to save his entire family, so they took out their stored food. Half a white flour cake, so rare, was now in Erbao's big hand, and he insisted on stuffing it into her little one's hand.
In this day and age, what better way to thank someone than to have a stutter!
But Ding Xiaodie was furious: "Brother Erbao, please put it away quickly."
Just now the villagers were arguing because they had no food, and now they are showing off their wealth. Are they looking for trouble? She pushed the cake back with her little hand: "I'm not hungry, you take it back to the ancestor to eat."
"It's okay, we left half for our ancestor." Dabao was as heavy as a weight.
Erbao put the cake in her little hand and smiled, showing a row of white teeth: "Sister Xiaodie, if your family has any problems in the future, just come and tell us, we will help you."
After saying that, the two idiots turned around and went to take care of their families.
Ding Xiaodie raised her head uneasily and saw her parents looking at her meaningfully.
"Baoer, good job. Make as many friends as you can and don't stay at home all day." Ding Gui said meaningfully.
What he said was exactly the same as what he said in his previous life. At that time, he told her to go out and make more friends, fearing that she, a policewoman, was too tough and couldn't get married.
Of course, Zhang Xiu also blinked.
My daughter is too young. Although she has the soul of a twenty-year-old inside her, it is not the right time for her to find a boyfriend. However, she will naturally feel more secure if she can make friends with two boys, Dabao and Erbao, as bodyguards.
