Chapter 378

After the suturing and bandaging work was completed, Xu Yue, who had been highly concentrated for two or three hours, was already sweating, her face was pale, and her lips were purple.

Seeing her professional appearance, the old village head was moved, and no longer suspected that she had other plans.

Even though the conditions in the village were limited, the old village chief decided to boil all the fresh chickens and sheep that had just been sacrificed to the ancestors, and gave them to Xu Yue and others to show his gratitude.

Regarding this, Xu Da declined while wanting to refuse or welcome, while complaining in his heart, such a good sheep should be roasted!How cooked it is!
Xu Erniang had already prepared dinner. The white rice porridge with sliced ​​meat and scrambled eggs was sprinkled with a handful of wild onions picked by the roadside. The porridge was fragrant, refreshing and delicious.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. Although chickens and sheep are meat, the Xu family has already realized the freedom to eat meat. Facing the enthusiasm of the villagers, they only tasted two mouthfuls of the stewed lamb with a strong smell, and then put all the rest Distributed to the villages and caravans.

This action earned unanimous praise from everyone. The villagers who were very wary of the Xu family and the caravan, because of the meat meal together, the relationship eased a lot, and they called each other brothers.

They were familiar, and before Xu Yue could ask, the old village head came over.

The "luxury tent" of the Xu family stands out in the scattered camp at the entrance of the village. Standing outside the dark green square tent, the old village wonders, can this thin piece of green cloth be able to keep out the wind and rain? ?

The old village chief didn't know that there was such a thing as a rainproof cloth, so he reached out and touched the dark green cloth in front of him curiously. It was hard and soft, which was a very contradictory touch.

And as soon as you touch it, you can feel that the fabric is solid, and it is by no means an ordinary material.

Cloth is inherently expensive. I really don't know how much it will cost such a large green cloth with almost no traces of stitching.

Thinking that he hadn't seen such a big tent on the Xu family's carriage before, the old village head showed a puzzled look, a bit puzzled how the Xu family managed to conjure up such a big tent.

Could it be folded like cloth?
It has to be said that the old village chief has revealed the truth.

After waiting in the tent for a long while, no one came in from outside the tent, Xu Da couldn't wait any longer, got up on his own initiative, and came out with a basin of washing water for Wang Pingping.

"Wow!" A basin of wash water was poured out, and he turned his head seemingly inadvertently.

"Old village head?" Knowing that the other party had been standing outside for a long time, Xu Da still acted as if he was surprised to find out the other party.

The old village chief hastily withdrew his hand from the tent, and twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "Haven't you rested yet?"

"Not yet, old village chief, are you here for something?" Xu Da put the plastic basin taken out of Xu Yue's laboratory by the door of the tent calmly, and invited the old village chief to go in and talk.

The old village chief nodded, and entered the big dark green tent with a little curiosity.

The furnishings inside were different from what he had imagined. There were only five simple beds and a small table that could be used on a carriage.

However, the tent was so high that he could stand up straight and face Xu Yue and the others directly, which relieved the embarrassment of the old village chief a lot.

"Old village chief, sit down." Xu Yue pointed to the straw mat in front of the small table, inviting the village chief to sit down.

Xu Erniang poured a glass of cold water for the old village chief to drink.

With this posture, those who didn't know thought that the Xu family was waiting for him to come over.

Xu Yue's family sat around opposite the village head, facing these five masters who killed Wuhuan without batting an eye at such a close distance, the pressure was naturally high, and the old village head couldn't help swallowing.

He opened his mouth, seemingly hesitant, but after thinking about it, he said it anyway.

"If you kill these Wuhuan people, other Wuhuan people will come back to take revenge on you!"

The village head spoke in a dialect, but he slowed down as much as possible. Xu Yue's family could understand it, so Qi Qi frowned.

The old village head sighed: "You are all from other places. You may not know that Wuhuan people and Xianbei people have colluded together. Our county magistrate of Ning County has been killed by King Yehe from the left side of Xianbei. Now the county is full of Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people."

"Let's leave soon at dawn tomorrow, and go back to Guangyang County or Yuyang County. If Wuhuan people come to ask, I will order the villagers to never let them reveal your whereabouts."

"Take it as repayment for saving your life today." The old village chief sighed solemnly.

Xu Yue had guessed that the villagers were hiding some news before, but she didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

Wuhuan, the second-five boy, has always been jumping back and forth between Xianbei and Daqing, and he will be attached to whichever side is stronger.

There are particularly many Wuhuan people who settled in the north. Almost one-third of the entire Shanggu County are Wuhuan people.

Although Xu Yue was a little surprised that the two tribes of Xianbei and Wuhuan would unite, judging from Daqing's past diplomatic history, such things have not happened before.

But now these two tribes are so rampant that they directly killed the county magistrate of Ning County and replaced them. It is self-evident what this means.

That's all the old village chief said, and he has no control over what the Xu family will do.

He had already done all the reminders he could do, said the matter, and the arrogance in his heart was gone, so he got up and said goodbye.

Xu Yue's family got up to see them off, thinking that the Xianbei people and Wuhuan people had secretly occupied Ning County, which would inevitably bring unforeseen disasters to the village, Wang Pingping thought about it, and stopped the old village head.

"If they come to ask, the village chief, you should tell the truth about my whereabouts, otherwise they will definitely not let you go."

"This..." the old village chief showed distress, "We are not ungrateful people. If a few of you hadn't appeared in time to kill those Wuhuan people, we would have died long ago. How can we do it?"

Shaking her head, Wang Pingping interrupted the old village chief and asked him, "Does the village chief know what's going on in other counties?"

The old village head shook his head, and was taken aback for a moment, as if he remembered something, he said uncertainly:

"I heard those Wuhuan people scolded a few words, saying that the Juyong county lieutenant contacted the frontier army and hindered them. The Xianbei people should not have touched Juyong County yet?"

The old village head is only the head of a small village. Throughout the year, the only opportunities to go to the county are for planning and autumn harvesting. It is impossible for him to know much about the outside situation.

Wang Pingping nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She only told the old village chief to keep the lives of the whole village young and old as the main priority, and he didn't need to deliberately conceal their whereabouts for them, causing them to be murdered.

"If the villagers really think that something happened to our family, our family will never be peaceful for the rest of our lives, and I ask the village chief to make sure that we don't hide anything for us." Wang Pingping repeatedly urged worriedly.

The old village chief Dang even was so moved that his eyes turned red, he nodded helplessly, "Old man, I am really ashamed."
