Chapter 193
Which winter in the past was not cold?
He didn't hear Liu Xiaoshan calling out at that time.
This year we had a divine messenger, built a new house, burned charcoal, and stocked up enough food.
Village Chief Liu thought that Liu Xiaoshan was just a man who had enough food, clothing and warmth, so he was starting to be pretentious.
After closing the door, Village Chief Liu looked at Wan'an with a kind face: "Master Divine Envoy is here this evening. Do you have something new to announce?"
When asking this question, Village Chief Yanagi was also thinking in his mind.
They now have food and drink, new houses to live in, and sharp farm tools and weapons.
The only drawback may be the clothing.
What the villagers now wear is the same cloth that the mountain god distributed along with the winter grain when they carried the lady of the mountain god up the mountain every year.
Village Chief Liu was looking forward to it. If God's messenger came this late at night, could it be that the villagers' clothing problem had been solved?
As for wearing it, Wan'an really can't do it quickly.
Just like what Mu Xiaowan kept shouting, she is a human, not a true god.
Food can be prepared in a short time, but for clothing, even Wang Hongzhuang's system explains how to pick hemp to make linen clothes, and even raise silkworms.
But these are not effective in a short period of time.
Wan'an shook his head, shattering Village Chief Liu's fantasy, and took out the bullet casing Mu Xiaowan gave him: "This is what Mu Xiaowan found in the coffin last year."
"Bullet casing." Wen Sinian recognized it at a glance.
He frowned: "Last year, it was not done by the players, nor by the mountain village. Could it be... the group of people behind the mountain temple?"
Wan An nodded: "I doubt it too."
Listening to Wan'an and Wen Snian answering the puzzle with each other, Wang Hongzhuang sat back on the bamboo chair and sighed: "It's difficult to deal with Caleb, and now there's a guy with a gun, too bad."
Heart."
"To be able to take seven girls from the mountains every year, and transport enough food to feed hundreds of people in the mountain village for a winter, it is obvious that the person behind this mountain temple is not one person, but a group of people." Wan'an frowned.
"What the Goddess told Village Chief Liu when she came back this time, from what she said, it seems that something happened to the people behind the mountain temple, and they had to delay the time of carrying the Goddess of the Mountain and delivering winter food. This also facilitated my fight for the position of the God's envoy.
.”
"But these people have been cooperating with the Goddess for decades, and every year they bring food as promised in exchange for the seven girls in the backing village. Obviously they are in the Backing Village, and this transaction with the Goddess is profitable."
"Since there are benefits, I don't believe they will give up on the village."
"Maybe it won't be long before they come to Kaoshan Village like in previous years."
After listening to Wan'an's analysis, Wen Sinian nodded and said: "They even have guns in their hands. I don't believe they didn't leave communication equipment in the hands of the goddess."
"The Goddess has been very peaceful these days, so calm that it's weird. Maybe the Goddess has been in contact with them a long time ago." After Wen Sinian finished speaking, he looked at Wan'an: "What are you going to do?"
"Now we are in the light and they are in the dark. Instead of being passive, why not force them to take action?" Wan'an suggested.
She already knew the ins and outs of the Goddess' house.
As for where the tunnel leads, although I haven't had a chance to test it, it is obviously from the mountain.
In the past few days, we have collected enough food through cooperation with the villagers.
Whether it is the making of weapons, the making of farm tools, or the identification of food and medicinal materials, the villagers have already learned it.
This does not require Wen Sinian and Wang Hongzhuang to follow them all the time.
Even if Wang Hongzhuang's Peach Blossom Spring is systematically blessed, you can see the food hidden in the mountains at a glance.
But with sufficient resources, Wan'an still doesn't want the villagers in the backing villages to develop the habit of relying on their players.
After all, they will all leave when the mission ends.
Wan'an discovered that the bullet casing was originally used to ventilate Wen Sinian and others, so that his teammates could be prepared.
Without saying a few words, the two of them decided on the plan.
When he was satisfied, he turned his head to look at Village Chief Liu, only to see his old eyes staring at the bullet casings placed on the bamboo table with a look of horror on his face.
"Grandpa Liu?" Wan An raised his hand and waved in front of Village Chief Liu.
Village Chief Liu came to his senses, but he was still a little out of sorts.
He stared straight at the shell and asked in a hoarse voice: "Where did you find this thing?"
"I found it in a new coffin in the mountain temple last year." Mu Xiaowan answered this time.
When Village Chief Liu heard this answer, he froze.
He lowered his head, his eyes were red with tears in his eyes: "They, they must have killed someone!"
"Cun Chief Liu, what do you know?" When Wang Hongzhuang saw Chief Liu's reaction, he was obviously an insider.
Village Chief Liu raised his hand to wipe the tears from his old face and choked up: "If it weren't for your performance these days, I think I would have carried this secret with me even if I died."
"I've seen the things you call guns, and I've seen them kill people with my own eyes." As he said this, Village Chief Liu couldn't help but raise his back, and he fell into self-blame.
"As long as those people take out their guns, they will definitely kill people."
As he said this, Village Chief Liu couldn't help but fall into memories.
"The first time I saw them using guns was also the first time I discovered the truth that the mountain god of the village that supported me was fake. That was my first day as the village chief."
When he was young, Village Chief Liu himself was confused. With his timid and lazy temperament, he would never sit down even if he could lie down, and he would never stand even if he could sit down.
Growing up, he never had the idea of leading the village to live a better life. Even the villagers who took office looked down upon him, thinking that he was just a bastard who couldn't hold up the wall.
But he was a bastard like him. When he went into the mountains to look for food in his old village, but ended up eating it in the mouths of wild beasts, he was recommended by the goddess and became the new village chief of the mountain village.
It was also on the day of the new village chief's inauguration ceremony that Village Chief Liu thought about going to the goddess to discuss whether he could be replaced as the village chief.
He is very self-aware and knows that he is not the material.
Unexpectedly, when I found the Goddess's house, before I could make a sound, I heard a low male voice coming from the Goddess' house.
At that time, Village Chief Liu thought not much, thinking that the goddess had found a god, so he went to the corner to see who the god in the village was.
Unexpectedly, when he got closer, he heard the low-pitched male voice saying: "Is the person you recommend to be the village chief this time easy to control?"
The goddess smiled easily and replied: "Don't worry, that boy is timid and has a hard-headed mind. He is easier to control than the last one."
"I told you before that you know about pretending to be a mountain god. It's up to you to screen these girls and don't reveal too much to others."
"We can handle the rebellion of the previous village chief, but if there are two accidents in a row, these villagers will become suspicious no matter how stupid they are." The male voice lowered his voice and warned again.
After hearing this, the goddess also nodded cautiously: "Don't worry, I will let him be the village chief elected this time. From now on, I will personally take care of all the affairs of the village."
After hearing what the goddess said, the male voice was finally satisfied.
Just when Village Chief Liu thought it was over, he heard the goddess say again: "What about the traitor? You won't really let him die in the mouth of a wild beast, will you?"
"Is the beast so easy to deal with? We captured him." The male voice replied.
As the two of them talked, the goddess walked out of the cabin.
When Village Chief Liu saw them coming out, he hid in the dark without daring to move or say a word.
Today is the inauguration ceremony of the new village chief. All the villagers gathered in the center of the village. No one came to this remote place where the goddess lived.
Village Chief Liu saw a man dressed all in black following the goddess out of the wooden house, and the two of them pulled a man out of the tunnel of the shed.
Village Chief Liu Dingqing took a look and saw that it was actually the old village chief who the villagers said was already dead in the mouth of a wild beast.
As soon as the tape in the old village chief's mouth was torn off, he couldn't help but beg for mercy: "My lord, I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I will cooperate with you well and never dare to have other thoughts that I shouldn't have."
ah!"
The man in black was very indifferent to the old village chief's begging for mercy. He took a gun and directly put the muzzle of the gun into the old village chief's begging mouth: "Begging for mercy? It's too late!"
As soon as he finished speaking and pulled the trigger, the old village chief closed his eyes completely.
I really want to thank you. I finally finished writing it, but I forgot to give a title and posted it. It’s another chapter without a title. Woohoo.
When people have a fever, their brains are really bad. I corrected my typos today and looked at last night’s update. I immediately frowned and my mind was full of doubts. What am I writing? What am I talking nonsense? Why is the progress so slow? Ai Ai
There is a lot of talk.
Another day of doubting numbers.
What’s even weirder is that I used a mercury thermometer to measure my temperature last night. I shook it and my brain hurt, but I had to shake it. Seeing that the mercury was about to reach 35 degrees, I relaxed and sat down to shake it.
At that time, I looked at the table in front of me and wondered if I would hit the table when I was so close to the table.
Even though I already had this suspicion in my mind, I still couldn't figure out what was going on in my head at that time, so I continued to sit in my seat, holding my head with one hand and shaking it hard.
The mercury thermometer managed to hit the table and shattered.
In the middle of the night, not only could I not take my temperature, I also had to squat down to collect the mercury scattered on the floor.
As soon as I bent down and raised my head, I felt like my brains were about to be poured out.
Chapter completed!
