It was night, but the courtyard of the former village chief's house was brightly lit, and a group of people were kneeling on the ground, lining up straight from the village chief's yard to the outside. vertex
Among these people were old and young, men and women. Even the unconscious wife of the former village chief was carried out and put to the side. Except for a few people who carried the former village chief to see a doctor, all the people in the village were included. They are all kneeling here.
Li Gouzi's house over there was basically burned out. Since there were no flammable objects nearby and there was no wind, the fire eventually went out on its own.
Waves of strong meaty aroma came from the former village chief's yard, mixed with the burning smell of Li Gouzi's house on fire over there, forming a strange smell that went straight into the noses of everyone in the yard.
These people are not rich. When they smell the meat, a lot of saliva is secreted from their mouths, and their stomachs are growling. You must know that they may not be able to eat even during the Chinese New Year. a piece of meat.
Although they were very greedy, everyone still knelt motionless in the yard waiting for Jin Qing to speak. Although they didn't know what Jin Qing had done, the ferocious look on her face with blood was enough to scare them.
At the same time, the villagers were still very confused about what happened to the woman when she went down the mountain this time, and why she became so scary.
Jin Qing was sitting cross-legged on the stool of the former village head's house. Li Gouzi was fanning her respectfully and snorted coldly at the villagers kneeling on the ground from time to time. It's quite a bit like a traitor and lackey.
Because he was mute, Li Gouzi was often bullied. In addition, his house was burned to the ground by the kneeling people in front of him. Li Gouzi was full of hatred for these people.
Everyone shrank their necks and looked at Li Gouzi in front of them. They found that although the temperament of the little daughter-in-law Ning Zhenzhu had changed drastically, Li Gouzi had not changed at all. He was still the same person who only cried after being bullied. The poor mute who complained to his mother.
It's just that the target of his complaint has changed from the old woman who only knows how to play tricks to the cruel Jin Qing.
Jin Qing was very satisfied with the people in front of him, and motioned to Li Gouzi, who was still giving him a big fan, to bring him the cooked pork knuckles.
The villagers in Jinqing said leisurely: "From today on, each family will send one of its smartest people to go out to find ways to make money, and the rest will go to work in the fields and open up wasteland. The money earned will be paid 80%. We also pay 80% of the food. If any family doesn't pay, the whole family will get a discount!" After all, these people also need to live in order to follow the path of sustainable development, so Jin Qing generously gave 20%.
Jin Qing had been both a general and a queen before. After saying these words, she seemed to have a bit of decisiveness and ruthlessness, which made people couldn't help but believe that she could really do this.
Everyone: "..." Is this woman a bandit?
At this time, a woman who had not seen Jin Qing's show of force just now asked in an unconvinced voice: "Why?" They have lived in the village for decades. Although the village chief's family is domineering, they are only occupying Shandi is overbearing in controlling water sources, but has never taken away their family's money. Why should this woman ask them to pay for food?
After hearing what the woman said, the others did not dare to say it, but they agreed in their hearts: Every family lives their own life, so what about the village leader, why should they be asked to pay.
After hearing this, Jin Qing was not angry. Instead, he reached out to the wooden stake next to the animal and slapped it down.
The wooden pile was smashed to pieces by Jin Qing, and the wood slag flew into the faces of everyone in the yard.
Then, Jin Qing grinned ferociously at the woman: "Just because you kidnapped me with money!"
The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and the other people in the village came up with a common thought: who on earth abducted this plague god.
The day after Jin Qing spoke, the men in the village went down the mountain together.
Those who were left behind looked at those who left the village with tears in their eyes. These people who came down the mountain were the backbone of each family. How would they survive once the backbone retreated?
Moreover, the God of Plague seems to be very ruthless in keeping his word. If these people never come back, people like himself will really not be able to survive.
The reason why this mountain village is so poor is not only because of the inconvenient transportation, but also because these people are very lazy.
Every family has a small piece of mountain land, but the mountain people in this village are used to the comfortable life of going home and sleeping after work. They have no intention of getting rich through labor, as long as they don't starve to death.
They rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, especially when they are in the mountains. They are very familiar with the mountains. Even in years when famine is prevalent, they can find food in the mountains.
You can even occasionally find some good things and sell them to merchants who come to the village to collect mountain goods.
Whenever there was a little surplus, he would save it and exchange wives with the kidnappers who came to the village regularly. Life passed like this from generation to generation.
Seeing the villagers weeping reluctantly at the figures of those who left, Li Gouzi walked to the side and rang the village alarm bell vigorously.
When they heard the bell ringing, the villagers turned back to look at Li Gouzi, and even those who were walking down the mountain turned back to see what was happening in the village.
As a result, Li Gouzi was seen standing arrogantly on the high platform at the entrance of the village. He pointed at the fields in the distance with his hands on his hips and kept shouting "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", as if he wanted to let the villagers who stayed in the village go to open up wasteland. .
Everyone was very dissatisfied with Li Gouzi's success as a villain: why didn't they realize that this mute had such a vicious heart earlier?
Just when everyone was planning to deal with Li Gouzi quietly while Jin Qing was away, they heard a sinister voice coming from behind them: "What are you doing standing here? Don't you have to work anymore?"
As soon as Jin Qing finished speaking, the villagers dispersed quickly as if there were dogs chasing them from behind. Even those who had turned back halfway also quickly fled down the mountain.
It turned out that the villagers who accompanied the former village chief for medical treatment returned yesterday, leaving only the original village chief's three sons with him.
These people also brought back news for other people in the village: It turned out that yesterday, Jin Qing kicked out the stone mill and completely crushed the village chief's leg. When the barefoot doctor couldn't cure the village chief's leg, he killed him. Both legs were sawed off.
This incident left a deep imprint in the hearts of the villagers. It turned out that what the woman said about breaking their legs was actually true!
Different from the villagers who saw Jin Qing as if they were seeing the god of plague, Li Gouzi greeted Jin Qing with a smile on his face: after what happened yesterday, he had a deep understanding of one thing, that is, following Jin Qing has a lot of people. Eat meat.
Thinking of the pig bones he gnawed behind Jin Qing yesterday, Li Gouzi subconsciously smashed them in his mouth: They were so delicious!
