A villager said: "Village chief, why did you bring Milk Baby with you? There are so many people, it will be bad if the baby is hurt!"
"That's right. There will be so many people and we have to take care of the children. It will be very troublesome! Those milk babies aren't even a Dingkou anyway!"
The old village chief paused with his crutch and said: "What do you know? Who said those milk babies are not Dingkou! Hundreds of us are going, and the government will give us some face if we build up the momentum! Besides, it's not like we don't want to give money. !」
Everyone laughed when they heard this and said that the old village chief was extremely smart! But someone still said: "But the village chief, it's not convenient to walk with these old and weak people! I'm afraid we have to get up early and walk at night tomorrow. What if we delay our journey and cannot buy salt?"
The old village chief said: "You all listen to my arrangements! Tomorrow, if you have a bullock cart at home, you can drive it, or you can use a cart if there is no bullock cart! Those who are too old to walk, and those with milk babies, all get on the cart. The rest of the ladies, young and old, will follow the car, and the men will surround you outside. Nothing will happen! This good thing only happens once in hundreds of years, and our family cannot be left behind!"
After saying that, the village chief stood there and pointed the country like a general! Certain families have many young and strong people, so they are leading the way! A few people were behind. Where are the remaining people in the team? Whoever's family has a bullock cart pulls the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of that family's cart. Every detail is arranged very carefully! If you don't listen to his content, don't look at everyone's clothes, and just look at the scene where he is eloquent and the villagers nod in agreement, he really has the posture of a general ordering troops to go to war!

When the village chief finally finished the arrangements, he slapped his cane heavily and said, "No one is allowed to leave the team tomorrow, and they must obey orders! Don't let those who steal things and take advantage of them!"
Everyone agreed one by one, and the atmosphere on the field was extremely warm for a while! But at this moment Niu Mantun said loudly: "Grandpa, the village chief, let me tell you what the official said, someone will definitely cause trouble tomorrow, and if they are caught, there will be extra rewards!"
The village chief nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this! If someone causes trouble tomorrow, we will capture it immediately! So every household should bring some sticks and poles!"
Then the old village chief gave a few more instructions to everyone and asked them to disperse. So the villagers went home happily and noisily. Tonight they will definitely eat and go to bed immediately, so that they can rush to Yangzhou City in the early morning!
Because Niu Mantun brought good things to everyone, he received preferential treatment from his family. He was allowed to go to bed without doing any work after eating! So he naturally went to bed early and triumphantly!
But he was sleeping soundly when suddenly he heard a faint sound of a gong, and then the dogs in the village began to bark! At this time, he felt someone pushing him. When he opened his eyes, it was dark and he couldn't see clearly, but he could tell from the outline of the person that it was his eldest brother! Just listen to his eldest brother say: "Lao San, Lao San, get up quickly! The village chief has beaten the gong and is ready to go!"
When Niu Mantun heard this, he was so excited that his sleepiness disappeared immediately! He got up, got dressed in a hurry, and rushed to the center of the village with his family. When we arrived at the center of the village, we heard the village chief's eldest son shouting: "Are the people from the Niu family here? Are the people from the Niu family here?"
Father Niu hurriedly raised his hand and said, "It's coming! It's coming!"
Then he led his family into the crowd, where seven or eight bullock carts were placed, as well as many two-wheeled wheelbarrows. It seems that these are prepared for the elderly, weak, women and children.
At this time, the village chief's eldest son patted the bullock cart in front of him and said, "Let your family get on the cart quickly, squeeze in, and try to get a few more people in!"
It turns out that because Niu Mantun brought good news, the village chief granted permission for the women and children of the Niu family to ride on the ox cart! Sitting on the bullock cart not only saves effort, but also allows you to catch up on some sleep. At that moment, the cow mother happily touched her little son's face, took the two daughters-in-law and the girl, and asked them to hold the child and get on the bullock cart.
Then the village chief's eldest son arranged for the old and weak to sit down in one car after another. As expected, all the old and weak in the village were arranged. At this time, the village chief finally showed up. He held his crutch and sat on the shaft of the bullock cart. He waved his crutch majestically and said, "Everyone, stand in the position you ordered yesterday. Let's go!"
Following his order, the villagers left the village entrance with lanterns and torches, and ten men responsible for staying behind were waiting.
Cunou looked very envious. Moreover, after the group of villagers set off, they actually maintained a relatively complete formation under the command of a few people designated by the village chief, so the group rushed to Yangzhou City in the dark!
At this time, Niu Mantun was happily leading a dozen young people to the front of the team and then to the back of the team. He seemed to have endless energy to vent! But when the village chief saw him at the head of the team for the second time, he scolded him: "Why are you running back and forth when there are no outsiders? If you keep running like this, the people in Yangzhou will be tired by the time they get there, and there will be no energy left to protect the villagers." ! Okay, just keep walking!"
Being scolded by the village chief, more than a dozen people in Niumantun were a little unhappy! However, they still steadily settled down and followed the big team forward.
This time the village chief specially arranged for Niu Mantun to lead a dozen young and aggressive young people in the village to form a team with whistle sticks, euphemistically called the support team! Even when there is trouble in the team, the dozen or so young men must rush there!
It has to be said that the village chief is also an old woman who is very cunning. His orders not only gave him a new force that can be mobilized at any time, but also put a layer of shackles on the lively and active young people, so that they can be honest and obedient! Otherwise, if these dozen juniors act randomly, their own team will be messed up by them before others can rush into the team!
After everyone walked for a while, the eldest son who was leading the ox cart suddenly said, "Dad, do you see any fire ahead? There seems to be someone on the other side of the road!"
The village chief squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he vaguely saw a lot of people moving forward with torches and lanterns on the other road.
The old village chief slapped his thigh and said, "It's broken! It must be the people from Huaishu Village next door! They also want to rush all night! Quick, tell the villagers to speed up and be sure to pass them at the fork in the road ahead!"
Upon hearing this, the village chief's eldest son immediately shouted loudly, asking everyone to move forward faster. There is a three-way intersection ahead, where the two teams will definitely meet! But what they didn't expect was that the firelight here also fell into the eyes of the other party, and the other party was also speeding up visibly! The result was so good that the two teams met at the three-way intersection, and no one passed the other!
