Chapter 313 People are not for themselves, heaven and earth are destroyed
The village chief’s daughter-in-law Wang stumbled and ran home, out of breath: “Old man, do you know what happened in today’s episode?”
The old village chief stroked his beard and asked doubtfully, "What's going on in today's episode?"
He came back from the field at noon today and hasn't gone out yet. How does he know what happened at the fair?
Sitting on a stool, Mrs. Wang poured out a bowl of water and drank it all, then recovered her breath: "The villagers who came back from the market today said that Liushang Village was ransacked by bandits the day before yesterday, and I heard that many people died."
"Ahem...!" The old village head slowed down and asked in shock, "Old woman, is what you said true?"
"That's what people who came back from the market said. It must be true. It was discovered yesterday and spread throughout the town today. Now everyone is panicking. Old man, do you think the bandits will come to our village?"
The old village head heard the words and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Our village has no money and no food. What can we do in our village?"
Pointing to the halfway up the mountain, Mrs. Wang said in a low voice: "Old man, the family on the mountainside is rich, and there should be a lot of food. What if the bandits go to his house? I see, you should call the villagers to discuss and see if they can Want to organize the villagers to be on duty at night to patrol?"
The old village head bowed his head in silence, tapped his fingers on the table, and said quietly after a long time: "I can't take care of the house halfway up the mountain, and I don't want to take care of it."
At the beginning, it was because of his selfishness that he bullied his father who had passed away and he was an outsider. Orion himself had some skills. Wouldn't his skills come in handy on the battlefield? So he passed on the conscription quota that should have been his own family to Tan Anjun. When he came back this time, he didn't show any prejudice against him on the surface, and he might hate him as the village chief in his heart!
Staring at the side face of the old village head, Wang slumped her shoulders and sighed: "We were the ones who couldn't help him back then, but now, we should help if we can. At least let him know that we have not forgotten his kindness. We'll keep that in mind."
The old village head suddenly raised his head, glared at the old woman, and said angrily: "You know nothing about a woman! Don't worry about it, I will make my own arrangements!"
After finishing speaking, he hurried out of the main room with his hands behind his back.
The old village head looked around the yard, and took a few extra glances at the doors of his three sons, hey! Back then, for these unfilial sons, he was made to do the only thing he could do to his conscience.
He lowered his head and thought as he walked, instead of coming forward to add icing on the cake at this time, it would be better to send charcoal when people are desperate.
people! Selfishness is nature!
If people do not work for themselves, heaven and earth will perish!
"Village Chief, do you think our village is safe? Will bandits come?"
The old village head looked up and saw that several villagers were looking at him expectantly, and scolded with a smile: "Er Gouzi, don't make a fuss, do you have food or money in your family? Can the bandits take a fancy to your house? They all disperse and go home early." Eat, rest early, you have to work hard tomorrow!"
Seeing what the old village head said, several villagers felt their heartstrings loosen slightly, but they were still a little worried. They had no choice but to go home, so they could only wake up at night.

After dinner.
Everyone sat in the hall, talking about Liushang Village being ransacked by bandits.
In the afternoon, the couple had discussed it in the room.
Whether the bandits will loot the village again is unknown, but they should not take it lightly,
Tan Anjun looked around everyone, held his little wife's little hand on the table, and said solemnly: "Lan'er, remember! If there are bandits entering the village, just stay in the house and be with the children. I will send Xiaoliu to protect them." you."
