Chapter 429: Rescue Village Chief Li
Chapter 429: Rescue Village Chief Li
Li Mengyue looked at the dense crowd standing around the village warehouse. At a glance, there were definitely several thousand people.
She had no doubt that all the villagers from the seven villages were here. After all, in addition to the strong laborers, there were also old people, children and women. Everyone was holding weapons in their hands, and even the children had stones in their hands.
With so many people gathered here, something bad must have happened.
【Host, warehouse, the warehouse is empty. 】
【Ok, I know. 】
After hearing Tuanzi's words, Li Mengyue knew that what happened was related to food.
She didn't know it before, but since she came to Xinghua Village, the relationship between the seven villages has become closer and closer.
And under her proposal, the seven villages built reservoirs and dug canals together. The villagers in each village took action, and the seven villages seemed to be inseparable.
The key point was that in order to prevent the seven villages from resisting the formation of patrol teams, she also took out food. Based on the current market price, the price she offered was super low, almost giving it away for free.
Even so, she knew that for seven villages, buying tens of thousands of kilograms of grain at two cents per kilogram was still a considerable amount of money.
And she doesn't accept credit. You can build reservoirs and dig canals, but you absolutely cannot buy food from her.
Even if she wanted to help the villagers, she wouldn't do it in this way. Otherwise, when the villagers got used to asking for things, it would be too late to regret.
She knew how important food was to the people, and when he told the seven village heads that he would sell food to the village at a low price, everyone was very excited.
She didn't believe that the villagers would take the food out for no reason. Plus, with so many villagers around, the matter couldn't be simple.
But now is not the time to ask the reason. The most urgent matter is the unconscious Village Chief Li. If he is not treated in time, he may never wake up again.
This won't do. Not to mention that Village Chief Li is the pillar of his family, he also holds a very important position in the hearts of the villagers in Xinghua Village.
Besides, whether it is building a reservoir or digging a river, someone is needed to mediate, communicate and assign tasks, and Village Chief Li is the most suitable candidate for Xinghua Village.
Also, since she returned to Xinghua Village, Village Chief Li and his family have taken good care of her, and everything she said has received unconditional support from Village Chief Li, which touched her deeply.
She naturally didn't want to let such a kind-hearted village chief go just like that.
Therefore, Li Mengyue didn't care what the villagers said, nor did she care who took the food away, but hurriedly took out the silver needle from the space.
It's just that Li Mengyue took it out at a very good angle, and when others saw it, they just thought that Li Mengyue took out the gold needle from her sleeve and didn't have any doubts.
Li Mengyue inserted the needle very quickly, and after an incense stick of time, Village Chief Li woke up.
The village head's wife Zhou Juan's old man woke up and asked nervously.
"Old man, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
However, Village Chief Li did not answer his wife's words. Instead, he looked at Li Mengyue, his lips trembling, and he said tremblingly: "Yue girl, you are back?"
"Well, Grandpa Village Chief, I'm back."
As soon as Li Mengyue finished speaking, the village chief began to cry like a child.
Li Mengyue heard the grievance, resentment and feeling of powerlessness from the village chief Li's crying.
She did not stop the village chief from crying. Instead, she squatted there and waited for him to finish crying.
Village chief Li covered his face with his hands and cried for a while, then stopped.
He knew that now was not the time to cry, and there were other things to deal with. He couldn't let himself delay everyone else's business.
Besides, he was the village chief of Xinghua Village, and it would be embarrassing for him to cry in front of thousands of people.
But he really couldn't help it. From the time Zhu Lei brought people to the village until all the grain in the granary was moved away, he was extremely angry, but there was no way to stop it.
No one knew better than him how important the grain in the granary was to Xinghua Village. But even though he was the village chief of Xinghua Village, he was essentially just an ordinary citizen. How could he dare to compete with the people under the command of the young lady of the Xiangfu?
He wanted to tell Master Liu that with the status, position and prestige of the King of Chen, it would be easy for him to get food, and there was no need to take it from the mouths of ordinary people like them.
But he didn't dare say this, for he was afraid that he would be retaliated against. He didn't know whether these things would reach the ears of Prince Chen.
However, there was one thing he was very clear about, that is, it was easy to see the King of Hell, but it was difficult to deal with the little ghosts. He was afraid that his refusal would make Master Liu jealous, and then he would bring people to cause trouble.
But even if the people of Xinghua Village and the other six villages were put together, they would not be able to resist the powerful and wealthy, and their villages might even be destroyed.
He didn't dare to gamble, even if it meant risking the lives of the entire village. Agreeing to give out food would only make the villagers' lives more difficult, but they would not lose their lives.
The important thing is that Master Liu also wants him to drive Li Mengyue out of the village. How is that possible? He would never do such a thing.
But he was also afraid that Master Liu would take revenge on the village because of this incident. Therefore, before Li Mengyue came back, he was always worried, as if there was a huge stone pressing on his chest that he couldn't let go.
It was not until Zhu Lei's words and the sight of the empty granary that he was so shocked that he vomited blood and fainted.
At the moment he fainted, he thought he would never wake up again and would not be able to protect Li Mengyue anymore.
Fortunately, Li Mengyue returned to the village in time and pulled him back from the hands of death, so he saved his life.
But at this moment, he saw Master Liu, and there was something wrong with the look in his eyes when he looked at Li Mengyue. He felt a little regretful. He should not be glad that Li Mengyue came back. He should have stayed as far away from her as possible.
"Girl Yue, listen to what the village chief says. Go, go quickly, the farther the better, and never come back."
"Grandpa Village Chief, what are you talking about? You haven't woken up yet, so you take a rest first and leave the rest to me."
"Yue girl, be obedient, the village chief will not harm you."
Village chief Li was very anxious seeing how stubborn Li Mengyue was and how she wouldn't listen no matter how he tried to persuade her.
Then he turned to look at Li An and his wife, and said angrily: "Li An, please persuade them to let Yue go."
In fact, Li An had wanted to talk to his daughter for a long time, but the village chief fainted, and when Li Mengyue came back, she squatted down and started treating the patient, so he had no chance to speak.
After Village Chief Li spoke, he quickly walked to Li Mengyue and pulled Li Mengyue and his wife Wan Niang aside.
"My daughter, the village chief is right. You shouldn't come back, but there's nothing you can do now. If there's a conflict later, I'll stop them for you. Leave quickly, don't worry about the village, and never come back."
"Yueyue, your father is right. Let's go quickly and don't worry about the village." Li also tried to persuade her.
