Chapter 22: The gourd mouth and the gourd waist want to kill the gourd belly? (2)
The crowd began to whisper again.
"Looks like they're here to grab food!"
"Then what's the fuss about in the Dong Lun Kingdom? The bigger the fart is, the louder it is!"
"It can't be that simple. For example, my house is full of fertile land, and whatever I plant will grow. Your house is full of wasteland, and nothing will grow. Our two families are next to each other. What do you think? You only want my land.
Food in it?”
"Yes! If you say that, I will understand. What's the use of grabbing food? After two meals, it will be gone. I have to grab land!"
This is men.
"Oh my god, you said this country is still gourd-shaped!"
"Don't you understand? The three countries together form a gourd shape!"
"Then you said that the Hulu Zui can run all the way to us? The Hulu Yao is about the same. After all, it's close."
"That's not the case! Every time my second aunt goes back to her parents' house, she has to walk for two days and I feel like it's so far away. How can the gourd mouth go to our gourd belly?"
These are women.
"You know nothing!" The men began to refute the women, and the old ladies didn't understand. "There are horses, cattle and sheep in the Voss country. If there is more land to grow crops, the whole gourd will be his, then
It’s all there!”
"You know!" Someone on the woman's side was dissatisfied: "There is Dong Lun Country in the middle. If Voss wants the whole gourd, it's just across the way!"
At this time, an old man spoke, and he kept staring at the gourd pattern: "Then if Hulu Zui tells Hulu Yao that your country is too small and has nothing, my country is big, with horses and cavalry, if you can help
I'll knock the gourd belly off, and I'll give you half of the gourd belly?"
Everyone calmed down and felt that they had learned the truth.
"Everyone just knows what to say. Don't talk nonsense when you go out. Be careful to cause trouble!" The village chiefs of each village reminded everyone. They are all ordinary people. It is hard to control what can and cannot be said, in case you say the wrong thing somewhere.
, can really bring disaster.
"The war is very close to us, and our children are on the battlefield," Mr. Xie gestured to the upper half of the gourd's waist with a branch.
"The more war there is, the more rogues will make trouble, and the enemy's spies will unknowingly spy on us. You can't say anything outside, because you don't know which words are what others need.
Yes, then you will become a traitor and you will be beheaded!" Mr. Xie threatened.
"We have to protect our home and provide a variety of food so that our children can have food on the front line. We have to be united and we can't just focus on ourselves if anything happens. If you can't control it, there will be no one to help. We all have to work together.
Work together and be united in dealing with the outside world.”
"Let's talk about what happened yesterday. Yesterday, rogue bandits entered the village. There were more than twenty people! There were also people on horseback and people carrying knives. Are they scary? They were a bunch of murderous thugs!"
"You just keep to yourselves, is it useful? If you just close the door, they will still break into your house. They can rob you if they want, and kill them if they want. If you beg them, is it useful?"
The faces of the crowd became ugly, especially those in Wushu Village. Some women lowered their heads and cried.
"We have children in several villages on the battlefield. Our children are fighting to protect us from the enemy. Our children don't know which village you are from or which village he is from. Therefore, we cannot just care about ourselves.
We need to unite, what matters to your family is also a matter to my family, and what matters to your village is a matter to my village!"
"Yesterday, if people from Zhang Village and L Village did not arrive in time, what would be the consequences? Yesterday, Madam Yuan urgently sent her children to Zhang Village and L Village to ask for help. Zhang Village and L Village rushed over immediately.
It will cause more serious consequences."
You are so patient as a teacher. I just say these few words back and forth. I don’t believe you can’t remember them.
It's just like teaching kindergarten children, repeat it constantly, repeat it in different patterns, use metaphors, give examples, list numbers, everything. Even people with poor brain circuits can understand it.
No, not necessarily. There are also those who have brilliant ideas: "Mrs. Yuan, Mrs. Yuan, what Ms. Yuan, if she hadn't come to our village, maybe this disaster wouldn't have happened! Maybe she was the one who brought the rogue bandits!"
The sound was not loud, but the people around were quiet, so everyone heard it. Many people turned around to look for the sound, and saw that it belonged to the three fat men's house.
Chu Qing gives me a headache.
Indeed, I have only been in Wushu Village for a few days. This statement of the Sanpang family is easily accepted by uninformed people.
"Pa!" The sound was quite loud. It was the third fat old lady, and she slapped Shan Fatty's face.
"I will divorce you even if my son comes back!" The old lady covered her heart, furious.
"Mom! Why don't you tell the difference between inside and outside? What did I say wrong? Did she come to our village and the bandits came in a few days?" The third fat man's family was also angry.
"Village Chief Zhang, my family can't bear this girl like you, so you can take her back!" The old lady spoke unambiguously.
The villagers were silent, then they looked at the old lady, then at Chu Qing; at San Fatty's family, and then at Chu Qing.
Village Chief Zhang was anxious: "Auntie, calm down."
As he spoke, he glared at his sister and also glared at Chu Qing.
It's so noisy! It seems that the gangsters are really caused by themselves, and the discord in other people's families is also caused by themselves? Chu Qingqing rolled his eyes and really wouldn't do anything else.
At this time, horses neighed not far away. Three horses were tied to the trees beside the threshing floor.
The neighing of the horses seemed to remind each village of its interests.
"Have this group of bandits been interrogated? What's their background?" Chu Qing asked Village Chief Zhang directly.
"Ah? Well... they just said that they were deserters on the battlefield. They didn't dare to return home for fear of being caught and beheaded, and they had no food to eat, so they went everywhere to rob."
"Is there any more?" Chu Qing asked.
Chu Qing's calm tone and direct gaze made Village Chief Zhang feel annoyed. This woman was so ignorant! How could any woman dare to look into a man's eyes and ask questions like that? A homeless woman!
"No!" Village Chief Zhang shouted.
“Mr.
The crowd started buzzing and talking again.
"What do you mean by her? Can't we just divide these things?"
"I don't know. Didn't you say that there are three villages and one horse per village? Mr. Xie gave the order early in the morning?"
"You are stupid. Mr. Xie just came back last night. Madam Yuan is lying!"
"But Mr. Xie admits that it's his fault."
"Ms. Yuan, you mean...they didn't tell the truth?" Mr. Xie asked.
"Mr. Xie, if he is a deserter, how can he have a horse?" Chu Qing also asked.
"They couldn't have stolen it on the battlefield?" Mr. Xie said.
"We are announcing that we have cavalry?" Chu Qing didn't know much about this aspect. She just guessed that for ethnic groups that mainly farm, cavalry is very precious, and horses are even more important.
"Yes, but it's difficult to get army horses."
"That's what I thought, not only did they have horses, but they also had three." Chu Qing continued: "Since they were robbing homes, how could they wear straw sandals and not change their shoes even after changing into good clothes? There are also knives, the styles are all different.
It’s not like the standard weapon of the army.”
Mr. Xie had never heard of the term "standard weapons", but he roughly guessed the meaning. He nodded, "You're right. They didn't tell the truth."
"Sir, if we hand them over directly to the government, we will save our worries, but we may not get anything, because they are just a group of bandits. Everything must be handed over to the government, and they will interrogate and handle it."
Chu Qing thought for a moment and then said, "If we ask something, we may be rewarded by the government. We can treat their things as battle damage and not report them to the government."
"I wonder if what I think is right?" Chu Qing doesn't know the rules of this world and this country. It's better to ask. It's not safe to rely solely on guessing.
Several village chiefs also understood. "Of course we need something!" Village Chief Li said very straightforwardly.
Village Chief Wu also nodded: "It needs to be carefully scrutinized."
Village Chief Zhang also understood, but was unconvinced: "How about a trial? We all tried together yesterday, and nothing came out? We almost beat them to death!"
Village Chief Wu nodded again: "Yes, I was beaten and beaten, and I was hungry. I really can't find anything."
Everyone fell silent again.
