The villagers were stunned when they heard this. They had thought about escaping to a foreign country or hiding in the mountains. Even if it was a hole in the ground, they also considered drilling into it. The only thing he didn't think about was taking refuge in the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect was independent of the Tengxue Kingdom. The government didn't care about it, and the snowmen didn't dare to step into their territory.
It sounds like a good place, but the villagers are as afraid of the Demon Cult as the snowman. They can't escape from the dragon's den and step into the tiger's den just to avoid the snowman.
"There are no monsters in the Demon Sect that can eat people. You don't live and eat for free when you go. You have to earn three meals a day. I can keep you alive. You decide whether to go or not." I said this to the village chief and the villagers. I don't have time to do all the ideological work one by one. As long as he is moved, the rest will be left to him.
Nowadays, there are many vacant houses in the Demon Cult. There are more than a hundred people in Siyang Village, and more than thirty people have escaped.
There are more than 60 people left. They can be accommodated in any compound in the residential area of the headquarters.
Most of the ordinary church members and church servants come from rural households, so there should be no problem of exclusion.
Moreover, the land has not yet been distributed, so there is no economic benefit for the time being.
After thinking about it, the village chief gathered the villagers in the open space outside the courtyard. With the support of his little grandson, he stood and discussed with the villagers about taking refuge in the Demon Sect.
He pointed at me, and I told him that he was a witch doctor from the Demon Cult. He had a high status in the cult and had promised that there would be no danger in going to the Demon Cult.
Some villagers raised questions, why do people from the Demon Cult kindly take in outsiders?
"It's not a kindness, I'm asking you to work. Of course, you won't have to work for nothing, you'll get three meals a day, and you'll get a monthly salary." Xiaojiao knew my intention and answered on my behalf.
"The Demon Cult is not short of people, right?" Another villager still didn't believe it.
"That's right. The Demon Cult recruits people every year. I heard that their own people don't have enough to eat for three meals."
Xiaojiao stood next to the old village chief. She was standing on a big stone, which was a bit taller than the villagers.
"A few days ago, there was a traitor in the Demon Sect, and the family has been cleared out. Now is the time to hire people. This kind of good thing doesn't happen often. You are lucky. If you don't go, someone else will go. The Demon Sect has no losses. , money...it’s not given to anyone.” She inserted her waist and shouted at the top of her lungs.
The villagers fell silent and focused their attention on the old village chief again.
The old village chief cleared his throat and said, "I think that's what we should do, go to the Demon Cult! I believe that a capable person like Doctor An will not lie to us."
He just said that I was a witch doctor, but there was no need to worry about the details. The villagers responded one after another and were willing to work in the demon sect.
They had already packed up their belongings at home and were ready to leave at any time. Moreover, the Demon Sect was not far from the village, and the elderly people could still walk there.
Others, like pregnant women and women nursing children, do not have to walk too hard.
Our carriage stopped at the entrance of the village, and Xiaojiao arranged for the elderly, pregnant women, and those with children to get on the carriage.
The others followed the carriage slowly, led by He Chao, who was both the leader and bodyguard.
As long as they have other places to go, they will not risk going to the Demon Sect.
This risk is worth taking if there is really no way to survive.
If the four elders are still there, the Demon Sect is indeed not a good place to go.
Now that the demon sect is undergoing transformation, it needs people who can farm.
I arranged for them to be transferred. Firstly, I wanted to help them, secondly, I wanted to recruit some 'technicians' for the Demon Cult, and thirdly, I wanted to make room to face the snowmen who came to retaliate.
The team sent by Snowman was missing one team. Regardless of whether Zhu Zheng, the magistrate of Yangxian County, had tipped them off or not, the people who sent them out would not just let it go.
Calculating that time was almost up, I stepped up my practice and waited for the snowman to come.
Yun Zhou led Wen Yi to play in the village, and Wan'er and Xiaojiao followed.
In my opinion, Wen Yi is a very 'good' person. I don't know why Xuanyuan Wumu hates him so much.
Xuanyuan Wumu is dead, and the grievances between the two of them will probably be buried with him.
People in the village can hide out, but poultry and livestock cannot, but human lives are still hard to save. No matter how precious these things are, the villagers have to give them up.
Yun Zhou led Wen Yi to feed the chickens and pigs. The chicken food and pig food were prepared by Wan'er and Xiaojiao.
Counting from the day we entered the village to the morning of the sixth day, a group of people came running towards Sanyang Village.
The four villages of Da, Er, San and Siyang are built in a straight line, which can also be said to be villages built along country roads.
The road was built fifty years ago, and the village was built at that time. When there is a road, there are people.
Therefore, it is very convenient for the four villages to communicate with each other on a daily basis, and the news can be transferred to each other quickly.
The four villages are like a bunch of candied haws. The snowman has already swallowed three, so how can he leave one uneaten?
The snowmen who came from the direction of Sanyang Village were just to inquire about the truth. They wanted to know why there was no news from the people sent to Siyang Village.
Their base camp is still on the snowy plain. They can't make the decision themselves, and they have to ask their leader for instructions on any actions.
From the time when the Siyang Village team failed to send the news back on time, to when they asked their leader for instructions on what to do, and then when they organized people to come to investigate, including the time spent on the road, they spent a total of six days.
When the people who came to inquire were caught by me and beaten severely, one of them confessed the whole story.
He said that if they couldn't go back, the base camp would send more people to massacre the village and burn it to rubble, leaving no one alive.
I took him alone to the main house of the village chief's house, and the other snowmen were tied up and locked in the woodshed.
Although the snowman is strong, he is still a human being, and his flesh and blood body cannot help but be beaten. Not everyone is brave and unafraid of death.
Unable to bear the beating, the snowman obediently explained their purpose of seizing the village.
The snowman leaders wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in Tengxue to move from a bitter cold place to a place with a livable climate.
They colluded with local officials who acquiesced in their actions and covered up their evil deeds.
Of course, they didn't dare to go directly to grab territory around the capital. The villages they chose were not far from the snowy plains.
All of them can be reached by horseback in less than seven days, but they are far away from the capital of Tengxue Kingdom.
The sky was high and the emperor was far away, and local officials were covering for them. Several villages disappeared together, and no one knew about them.
According to Snowman's confession, there are also a group of martial arts masters who fled to them and provided them with martial arts support.
No wonder Yangcun invited knights, but was still defeated by them. It turned out that there was guidance from an expert.
Even if a village can afford the price, it cannot hire a true master of martial arts.
Since the news about Snowman's occupation is true, I will send Xiaojiao back to the Demon Cult and tell He Chao that he can send a message to the palace.
We don't care about other places, but grabbing land and killing people under the eyes of the Demon Cult is not okay.
In the future, these places will all be occupied by snowmen, and the fields cultivated by the Demon Cult will also be in danger.
I held Snowman's spies and waited for news from Tengxue Kingdom's palace.
There was no news from the spies, so the Snowman Base Camp sent another team over.
I still detained him and threw him into the cellar.
Although I had the strength, I fought my way through and captured all the snowmen in several villages.
But what they did was related to the security of Tengxue Country.
It should be resolved by the one in the palace.
Besides, there are no people in urgent need of rescue. The survivors have been moved to a safe place.
