“Speaking of which, a lot of people from other villages came to our village last month, both male and female. They said that the village was robbed by bandits and wanted to come to our village to beg for food. They also said that they wanted to live in our village. They asked me to ask the village chief.” The villagers looked at each other and said, their faces turning paler and paler.
“Hey, our village wouldn’t have been targeted by bandits, would it?” As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence at the entrance of the courtyard. Everyone’s hearts turned cold. “It’s over, it’s over. The snow has been getting heavier these days. Are those people going to make a move? ”
“Damn it, what’s going on? I’m afraid our village is finished. The old village chief must be out of his mind to give the position of the village head to a little girl who doesn’t know anything. Now that the snow has sealed the mountain, we’re going to be locked up and robbed. It’s over, it’s over. I don’t want to die yet.” Someone immediately burst into tears and pointed at Jiang Xi, ready to beat and scold her.
The people at the gate of the courtyard all looked at Jiang Xi with suspicion and dissatisfaction. Jiang Xi looked up at the sky silently. The villages in front of them had been targeted and robbed. According to the time they placed the stone in their village last month, it should be about time.
For the past two days, the people of Happy Village had been in a state of panic. Ever since the day they blocked the entrance of Jiang Xi’s house and demanded an explanation from Jiang Xi, the atmosphere in the village had become increasingly tense.
!!
“I heard that Tongfu Village was also scouted yesterday. When I woke up this morning, there were footprints all around the village. I guess those people went into the village at night to check out the situation, ” said Wang Yao.
“Our villages are all in the mountains. The only way in is blocked because of the snow, so outsiders can’t get in. If those bandits are hiding in the mountains, then I’m afraid that our villages will be in trouble.”
“Buddha, please bless us. Please bless us so that we can safely survive this snow disaster. It’s so hard to live our days well, and now we’re met with heavy snow.” The farmer looked at the snow on the land and his heart ached.
“Don’t feel bad about the land. Our villages are going to be robbed and we’re going to lose our lives. You should feel bad for yourself first.” Everyone laughed and joked, but their hearts were cold.
“I wonder what’s going on outside.” Everyone sat outside the ancestral hall. Someone brought a stove over to start a fire and burned two soft and sweet potatoes. The sweet smell of sweet potatoes filled the air. Some of the well-off families even roasted a few peanuts on top of them, making a sizzling sound. From time to time, the sound of peanut shells breaking could be heard.
Suddenly, Old Madam Jiang smelled a sweet scent in the air and retched. “What’s that smell? It’s so smelly. Why does it smell so bad?” Old Madam Jiang swallowed her saliva and felt her stomach turn sour. She had only felt this way when she was pregnant.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. A pregnant young wife looked at Old Madam Jiang with a strange expression and joked, “What’s wrong with you? Could it be that your daughter-in-law is not willing to have a son, so you’re anxious?”
The young daughter-in-law was joking, but Old Madam Jiang’s heart skipped a beat.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Old Madam Jiang’s granddaughter will be able to get married in two years. Wouldn’t it be a joke if Old Madam Jiang gave birth at her age?” An elderly woman glared at her young daughter-in-law. This young daughter-in-law’s words were too disrespectful.
Only then did Old Madam Jiang swallow the dissatisfaction on her face.
“What nonsense are you talking about? my grandmother has been suffering from a cold for the past few days, and my mother was also very uncomfortable a few days ago. It’s just an ordinary illness. Why is it that she’s pregnant in your eyes?” Jiang Lin rolled her eyes. These people were so rude. Her grandmother was already so old, so it would be embarrassing if she had a child at this age.
Everyone laughed awkwardly. They were just joking, but the Jiang family took it seriously.
“Blargh…”
“Blargh…” Another girl retched and ran out while covering her mouth. In the blink of an eye, out of the nine women who were chatting, four of them ran out. The scariest thing was that the men outside were also frowning and covering their mouths. It seemed like their stomachs were churning and very uncomfortable.
“This is really strange. Did the bandits drug our village? Why were there nauseating sounds everywhere? It’s a pity that the mountain is closed and there’s no way to find a doctor to check.” Yang Fen mumbled to herself as she returned from the ancestral hall. Jiang Xi happened to hear her words.
