Chapter 395 I Won’t Become the Second Bearded Man
"There aren't many of them, only about 20 or 30, but every one of them wants you to die..."
The headman's son gritted his teeth and said, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"It's simple. As long as someone is willing to come out and take your place, you can get hit less often."
The headman's son looked at the people in Zhaojiazhuang and said, "Heiqiu, you, you come out here..."
In the crowd of Zhaojiazhuang, there was a man with red and swollen eyes, trying hard to open his eyes.
The man was as dark as his name. He walked out of the crowd unwillingly and said bitterly, "Brother Dabao..."
"How do I usually treat you?"
"Brother Dabao treated me..." Of course Zhao Dabao didn't treat his brother very well, but the man called Heiqiu didn't dare to say it out loud.
"You come to replace my father. My father is injured too badly and cannot be injured again."
Hei Qiu glanced at the head of the village. Although he was unwilling, he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take the punishment for Uncle Head of the Village."
Because his eyesight was still a little unclear, he walked very slowly.
Shen Teng didn't understand what Lu Shian was going to do.
Lu Shian signaled him to stay calm.
The village head's son called out another name: "Zhao Kun."
No one in the crowd responded, only people lowered their heads even more.
"Zhao Kun, don't play dead in front of me. You usually take advantage of me. Now it's time for you to stand up and take the blame for me."
Seeing that pretending to be dead didn't work, Zhao Kun exaggeratedly covered his chest and cried loudly.
"Brother Dabao, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I was hit by that stinky woman just now, and my chest still hurts terribly now. I guess my ribs must be broken..."
"waste."
The headman's son cursed and called out a few names, but they all made up various excuses to avoid the question, and one of them didn't even respond.
Lu Shian sneered: "I thought you Zhaojiazhuang were so united, but it turns out you can only share wealth."
The village head's son had bloodshot eyes. He glanced at the people whose names were just called. After today, he would never forgive these people.
"Stop talking nonsense. Didn't you say you would let us go as long as someone is willing to take our place? Why haven't you let us go yet?"
Lu Shian chuckled: "You are looking for a scapegoat and want me to let you all go. Do you think it's possible?"
"Then let my father go first."
The headman's son knew very well that his father must not die.
Lu Shian spread his hands, turned around and said to the women and children who were driven out: "Do you have anything else to take? If so, hurry up and get it, we will set off soon."
After Lu Shian finished speaking, some people really stood up and walked towards the village. They were driven out temporarily, so naturally they couldn't take anything with them.
Seeing that Lu Shian ignored him, the village head's son shouted, "What do you mean? I'm asking you a question."
Lu Shian deliberately ignored him, and the village head's son was so angry that he started yelling.
Shen Teng pulled Lu Shian aside and asked, "Are you really going to take these people to Huainan City?"
Lu Shian glanced at those people and said, "I know these people. Some of them lost their husbands on the battlefield, some lost their families, and some lost their children in the flood. They are all pitiful people. I also plan to develop some industries in Huainan City. I need to recruit people anyway, so I might as well let them do it."
Shen Teng sighed: "I know that my little cook is the kindest. Um, I wonder what business she plans to expand, and whether she needs my support..."
"Go, go, go."
When Shen Teng talks about making money, he immediately turns into a shrewd businessman.
The only sound in the quiet surroundings was the shouting of the headman's son. Lu Shian ignored him and went up to the bearded man.
Lu Shian took out a pill and handed it to the bearded man, who quickly fed it to the monkey.
The monkey has calmed down by now.
Lu Shian glanced at the bearded man and asked the question in his heart: "I remember I saved a little girl on the road. Where did the little girl's family go?"
She remembered that the family should be Big Beard's relatives, so why didn't she see them?
The bearded man also wanted to know where Hu Dapeng and his family had gone, so he looked at the monkey expectantly.
Monkey sighed and lowered his head: "That night they were also drugged. It was not until the next afternoon that Dapeng and his wife woke up. When they woke up and knew that you were in trouble, Dapeng ran to the headman's house to fight, but he was beaten and thrown out of the village. I don't know where they went since then."
After the monkey said this, he could clearly feel the change in the bearded man.
Just think about it, anyone would feel very uncomfortable if the person they protected all the way chose to stand by and watch them die when they needed help the most.
Thinking of this, Lu Shian suddenly thought of himself.
Isn’t what I’m doing now what the bearded man is doing?
She felt sorry for these people and wanted to help them and stand up for them. But if one day she needed them, would they treat her the same way they treated the bearded man?
Thinking of this possibility, Lu Shian shuddered. She silently turned her head and looked at the group of people. Those who were strong enough to carry things ran back to the village to get things. Those who could not carry things or were babies stayed here.
These people were wearing worn cotton-padded jackets, with frostbite on their faces and hands. Their thin faces looked very tired. In short, they didn't look much different from when they fled, and might even look older.
Lu Shian sighed and thought, well, now that he has come forward, he might as well take these people out first and talk about it later.
Lu'er came over silently and said, "The head of the village seems to be in a bad condition. Do you want to put him down?"
Lu Shian nodded lightly. She wanted to teach these people a lesson, but she couldn't really kill him. There was nothing she could do because that was the education she had received.
"Dad, Dad, Dad, how are you?"
Seeing his father being put down and unable to stand, the headman's son became anxious.
"If anything happens to my father, I will not forgive you."
When Lu'er put the man aside, she took the opportunity to put her hand on the headman's pulse. When she found that he was not seriously injured, she became much rougher.
Lu Shian poked the son of the village chief with a whip and said, "Bring me all the contracts and I will let you go."
"Bah, do you think I will still believe you?"
"Kill me if you dare. I'm not afraid of you."
Lu Shian nodded: "If you have guts, I like it, but I don't know if your father thinks so. And your wife, ah, does she have a mother? By the way, you should be a father at your age."
As Lu Shian spoke, he turned and looked at the people around him. No one in Zhaojiazhuang said anything, but someone among the women and children responded.
"He has two daughters and a son."
"Oh, there is a son and two daughters, hehe..."
