Chapter 10 Undercurrent

"Sir! There is a village ahead." A scout knelt in front of the horse and said to the man on the horse.

"Well, I understand, you go down." The majestic man on the horse glanced at the scout in front of him and said lightly, "Send the order to go down, the whole army advances and enters the village to repair."

"You're the order!" The scout clasped his fists and bowed, then stepped down and sent the order.

After a while, a large group of soldiers gathered in the dense forest, but they looked a little miserable, and the armor on their bodies was sparse. Some people even lost one of their boots, so they had to walk barefoot.

"There is a village ahead for us to rest." The man immediately looked at his miserable soldiers and said inspiration.

Men know that their soldiers had just lost the battle and survived, and what they needed most was food and rest.

On the way to escape, many people died of hunger and will collapse.

Everyone cheered, as if the fatigue and hunger on their bodies had disappeared, and they rushed to the village excitedly.

"Oh, why don't you be so arrogant when I'm having a belly? My man wants to have a handle, so I have given birth to two, but unfortunately they are all daughters! It would be great if this guy in this belly is like a boy. Then let him marry Xue Meitou as his wife." A woman at the entrance of the village pulled another woman and nagged her family affairs.

"What's wrong with having a daughter? Look at Xiaoying's girl. If it were me, I wouldn't change her son!" Another woman replied.

"I would be fine if my daughter could be the same as Xue Yatou. I wouldn't be willing to marry her!" The woman touched her slightly undulating belly and said.

"You, don't expect it. Besides, Xue Yatou was just flirting with that boy Qingfeng as a kid. This young couple! But they are very close!" Another woman said in a conversation.

"That's true. Qingfeng's child is really good. Hey, don't say it. They are really a couple in the same place!" The woman with her belly was obviously intrigued.

"Don't worry, you may not be sure that the one in your belly is a boy."

"Hehe, then I'll accept your good words..." The woman touching her belly said with a smile, "You must come to my house for dinner then!"

"Oh... Look, look, the boss is a group of people!" The woman with the child pointed her finger in panic and said tremblingly.

"Go away, hurry back to the village!" Another woman looked in the direction of her finger, frightened, and pulled the good sister beside her to walk into the village in panic.

"Not good, no good! There was a large group of people coming to the entrance of the village, all of them carrying knives!" The two women rushed to the village while shouting, "It's amazing, it's amazing!"

You should know that in such a small mountain village, there are only a few acquaintances in all the villages, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to appear. At this moment, such a large group of people came, all of whom were carrying knives, and they looked murderous. No wonder they were scared.

Soon, the villagers heard the call of the two and gathered together, "You said, the bandits are not here, right?" A man in the crowd said timidly.

"Bah, Lao Wang, don't talk nonsense, just scare people." Liu Er looked at Lao Wang fiercely, "What's the thing to grab in our village? I don't care enough for my own food. Can the bandits still like this poor village?"

"Here, come," as everyone exclaimed, a team of soldiers appeared in front of the villagers, and there was about a few hundred people.

The man riding a horse walked up to the villagers and said, "I told you to protect the chief!"

"Supervisor? What is the Supervisor?" A group of villagers obviously had never heard of the Supervisor's statement, and they started to talk.

"Sir, a group of rural folks have no knowledge. I guess they have never heard of the custodian." The scout just now explained to the man who was on the horse. The scout turned around and continued to say to the villagers: "Call out your corporal person and say that my general has something to look for him."

"I...I am the village chief of this village." A little old man slid his crutch and squeezed out of the crowd tremblingly, kowtowing and bowing, "Caomin has met Shangguan."

"You are the village chief? Well, my brothers are tired and need rest. You can arrange some food for you." The man immediately ordered.

"Eat food... this little old man is really powerless." The village chief said with a embarrassed look on his face.

"Hmm?" The man was surprised and his face suddenly changed, "Are you trying to tell me that there is no food?" The man said as he gently stroked the knife on his waist with his right hand, and there was a look of not eating. Just prepare a coffin for yourself.

"This...this..." The old man was frightened by the man's actions and started to tremble all over.

"Bastard! Why don't you hurry up and prepare some food to honor my adults? Do you want to use your head to try my adults' knife?" The scout stood up and cursed at the old man.

Then he kicked the old man hard, kicked the old man away and scolded, "Don't you get out and prepare for food?"

"Uncle San...what is wrong with you? Is it okay?" Everyone said with concern when they saw the old man being beaten.

"Oh... let's go back and prepare some food for these officials." The old man stood up from the ground, patted the soil on his body, shook his head and sighed.

Everyone was very angry, but they were facing the official army. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials. How could a group of rural civilians have fought with officers and soldiers like wolves and tigers?

"Oh, my family doesn't have enough food, so I have to take it out for them to eat." Some villagers said dissatisfied, but they still lowered their heads in the face of the situation and went home honestly to take out the food for the government army to eat.

"Hahaha, come on, come on, damn, after eating soil in the mountains for so long, I finally saw a popular land. Why do we eat well today and eat it to the fullest?" Zhang Ergou grabbed a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth. While stuffing it, he said, staring at the rice ball on Wang Wu's hand beside him.

"******, you can't change your dog. Before you swallow the meat in your mouth, you just think about the rice ball in my hand. His grandma's, I didn't kill me in the war, and I finally saved my life. You kid don't let me have a good meal. Is there any reason for this? Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out as far as I can!" Wang Wu cursed at Zhang Ergou beside him like disgusted with flies.

Wang Wuyi stuffed the rice ball directly into his mouth, and deliberately chewed it in front of Ergou, "It smells so fragrant, this rice ball is so fragrant, it smells so fragrant."

Wang Wu said with an exaggerated expression, which made Ergou's face change red and white. Ergou had the attitude of snatching the rice ball from your mouth if you dare to open your mouth a little longer.

The village was lit torches, brightly illuminating the village as bright as the daytime, with the laughter and joy of soldiers everywhere. What else could be happier and satisfied for these soldiers than to have a hot meal after escaping from death?

Compared to the happy soldiers, the villagers can be called mourning everywhere.

"These group of thieves who were killed by heaven! The hares I beat and the few kilograms of taro I dug from the ground were gone." A villager sat on the ground and cried as if he was beheaded.

"My rice is enough for two days! There was still half a tank a few days ago! Oh, it took my life! How can I live this day!" An old lady wailed at her son.

The whole night was quietly spent with the joy of the soldiers and the wailings of the villagers. Naturally, Qingfeng's family was not spared. All the corn and other things collected at home were taken to the government army to eat.

"Mom, they took the things away, what should we eat?" Qingfeng asked to his mother.

"Shh, don't talk, we'll give it to them whatever they want. Qingfeng, remember, if people are really hungry, they are no different from wild animals. I hope they can leave quickly when they are full. We can look for them again if they have nothing to eat, but if these people..." Xiaolian didn't say to her son afterwards, she was afraid that if these officials really became bandits and suddenly started to kill people because they had no food, it would be bad.

Xiaolian didn't say anything. She touched her son's head and turned into the kitchen to bring out a bowl of corn cob for Qingfeng to eat. She said, "Eat quickly, if the government army sees it, there is nothing to eat." Qingfeng nodded, lowered his head and stuffed corn cobs into his mouth one by one.
