Chapter 68: People in troubled times are not as good as dogs in prosperous times
Unlike Guancun, Mengcun is planning demolition, there are still many people living in the village.
However, with the rapid development of the economy over the years, most of the young people in the village have gone to the city to work.
Therefore, there are not many young people among these people. The main ones are middle-aged people, accounting for more than half.
There are almost half of the elderly in the village.
Generally speaking, the elderly in the village live in bungalows after they are separated, which is low in safety. However, when the energy bursts, they are basically taken to their homes by their children or neighbors.
This is the only thing in the countryside. If you have something to do at home, you can help with your relatives and neighbors.
The old man accounted for a lot of the proportion, but Guan Xi didn't care.
After the energy burst, even if a man in his seventies has strengthened his physical strength when he was young. Even if they cannot fight, they have enough life experience and are the most hard-working.
These elderly people are of great help to the development of the gathering place.
Finally, there are still some left-behind children, but fortunately there are not many.
After years of family planning, normal families are only children. If parents have the conditions, most of their children will be with them.
"Uncle Meng, it seems that there are only so many people in the village. Let's go back and pick them up!"
Seeing that the door of the last house was destroyed, the room was in a mess, and there were still black blood on the ground. Guan Xi sighed and turned around and said to Meng Tiansheng.
Meng Tiansheng was also very depressed and replied with a low expression: "Hey, this is Zhang Shuping's family. He is very good and willing to work hard. He also raises a lot of chickens and ducks at home."
Without responding to Guan Xi's words, he seemed to be talking to himself again.
This is not the first time they have encountered Zhang Shuping’s family like this along the way.
After hearing Meng Tiansheng's words, Guan Xi shook his head. Seeing that he was not in a high mood, he didn't say anything else.
I can only say what the old saying is right, people in troubled times are not as good as dogs in prosperous times.
He didn't say anything, but Meng Tiansheng said to himself: "Actually, I've calculated it and I know it in my heart.
There are nearly 700 people in our village. In addition to those who go out to work and go to school, there are about 500 people in the village.
We have only found more than 300 people, this, this..."
Speaking of this, his voice trembled and he couldn't continue.
However, Guan Xi helped him add his unfinished words in his heart.
"That is to say, after the energy explosion, nearly two hundred people were victimized in Mengcun."
200, looking at it alone, this is not a big number.
But in comparison with the population of Mengcun, this is a terrifying number.
200 people accounted for nearly one-third of the population of the entire village.
As a villager, Meng Tiansheng has been very familiar with every household since he was born and lived there.
You can imagine how big the impact he was.
Guan Xi sighed again in his heart, not knowing what to say.
It turned out that he had heard Zhao Chenggang say it when he was in the Jinting Mountains.
Even in the village near Shilishan, there are Zhao's children who rescue them as soon as possible, this situation is not rare.
Unfortunately, when facing the facts, the description of language is always too pale.
The impact he suffered today is not small either.
Moreover, he also found that the most victims are humans who raise a large number of poultry at home.
As a result, few people suffer from cats and dogs.
According to the situation, cats and dogs should be the gentlest of all native beasts.
After a long silence, Guan Xi finally reluctantly comforted Meng Tiansheng.
Fortunately, the energy burst out, and those who survived like Meng Tiansheng, after seeing death and blood, were much stronger than before.
Meng Tiansheng has done some of his emotions.
After a final glance at the messy house, the two finally started to return.
Mengcun is different from Guancun. It is built with a snake-like shape, with a distance from the beginning to the end of the village.
Before they came, the two discussed the plan to search for people.
They first confirm the number of survivors in one household, and then communicate at home. When they look back, they will take them all back at once.
If this happens, they will save them from finding people and protecting the safety of ordinary people.
In less than a moment, they knocked on the door of the penultimate house again.
In the surprised eyes of the head of the household, the few people quickly entered the house without any greetings.
Meng Tiansheng briefly informed them of the bad news about Zhang Shuping's family.
Amid the sigh-sighing expressions of the family, he was frightened and scared, quickly packed his luggage, and followed Guan Xi and the others out.
When I came, Meng Tiansheng had communicated with all the surviving villagers, informed them of their situation and his plans.
But he was a fool in this.
When each household was talking, he said that the families in front agreed to leave together.
People are all following the crowd. When they hear that the neighbors in the village are moving away, the parties involved don’t have time to think too much.
Especially at this time of danger.
Although everyone was worried and afraid of traveling through the giant tree forest, they finally agreed.
Among them, there are actually factors that drive the tragedy of acquaintances from the same village and the whole family being killed.
On the way back, as the four people from the Zhang Lao San family walked out, the number of people in the team became larger and larger in less than a while.
Even the families behind them packed their luggage without having to enter the door.
Fortunately, on the way back, Guan Xi killed many ferocious beasts near the village. This not only reduced the threat of ferocious beasts, but also added a lot of meat.
The ferocious beast meat contains a lot of energy, which is suitable for people with enhanced physiques to eat before they set out.
Soon, with everyone consciously speeding up, in less than half an hour, all 367 people were safely brought to Meng Tiansheng's house.
Including the 26 people in Meng Tiansheng's family, a total of 395 people.
Among these 395 people, in addition to the five people who have officially practiced here in Meng Tiansheng, twenty new cultivators have been added.
These people killed ferocious beasts, or native beasts at critical moments. They relied on those energy and meat to start their practice.
But behind them, they didn't dare to walk out the door.
The main reason is that there is food to eat at home.
There are two other families, all of whom have started their practice.
The reason why these two families can practice smoothly is not because of their courage and strength, but because of the dogs they raise at home.
There is a family that has two more ends.
The three native dogs have been raising human nature for a long time, and after the energy burst and strengthened, they have not left.
In the future, the giant dog kept bringing back the ferocious beast meat for the owner to eat.
Sometimes, dogs are more loyal than people.
With these three giant dogs, Guan Xi was even more confident that he would bring these people safely back.
...
After arriving at Meng Tiansheng's house, he saw that Guan Xi was indeed terrifying and had three more people looking at him, but in fact, the gentle giant dog protected him, and the group of people became much more peaceful.
The bodies of more than a dozen ferocious beasts were removed. Under Meng Tiansheng's arrangement, a group of women excitedly began to divide the pot.
The others had nothing to do, and finally started to chat enthusiastically.
"Brother Meng, I really thank you this time. It's not that you and Mr. Guan, our family doesn't know what to do."
"Yes, yes, my family doesn't have much food. Speaking of which, Brother Guan is so powerful. Killing those scary beasts is just like cutting melons and vegetables."
"I heard from Brother Guan that there are even walls in Guancun. After that, I can finally come out and sway. I've been almost crazy these days."
"Also, Brother Guan is so strong. I guess he will be fine if he goes to Guancun and eats ferocious beast meat every time."
"I heard that there is another sycamore tree that has become a spirit. It is even better than the big black, and it can protect people."
...
Everyone relaxed, and Meng Tiansheng also started chatting with everyone happily. By the way, he also informed everyone about the arrangements after entering the giant tree forest.
These were discussed by Guan Xi and him.
Having had an escort experience, Guan Xi only knew a little.
After entering the giant tree forest, no matter what happens, you must not run around. Otherwise, ordinary people will leave a single word for death in the giant tree forest.
Men are born more courageous than women.
After entering the forest, the men in the village will be arranged around the team, including the elderly, weak, women and children.
Guan Xi will be in front of the team, Meng Tiansheng and the newly added more than 20 level 1 monks will fall behind to protect them.
There are also three giant dogs, and both ends will be arranged behind, and one end will follow Guan Xi to explore the way.
A group of people nodded in surprise, no one objected, and no man raised objections.
Even though they didn't even dare to go out of the door before, they dared to protect even weaker women and children in the dangerous and mysterious forest of giant trees.
This is how people live in groups and are free and easy to live.
For example, in most cases, society will never lack people who dare to risk their lives and act bravely.
After the energy burst, although these people were frightened, they did not dare to kill the ferocious beasts.
It’s just that they are all ordinary people and they can’t change easily.
