YM778.TV Chapter 100 - Hurry Up and Get Married
Yang Shaoqun spat, packed up, and walked toward Happy Village.
Jiang Xi had no idea about this. Even if she did, she would have sneered. ‘Hehe, come at me, I’ll admit defeat if I get anything!’
When Jiang Xi led a group of people into the town, the gate was tightly closed. There was also a self-formed patrol team of the town’s residents and people from the government. The refugees outside looked at the frozen residents from afar and their eyes were filled with despair. When they saw Jiang Xi leading a large group of people over, their eyes lit up but immediately dimmed. There were too many people and they did not dare to fight for them, for they were afraid of death.
To their surprise, Jiang Xi stopped in front of them and said, “I am the chief of the Happy Village. Join my village, and I’ll give you food!” She waved her small hand and shouted domineeringly. Wu Tielong, the leader of the bandits, took a look at Jiang Xi and felt that Jiang Xi was even more domineering than him at this moment.
Jiang Xi’s words made the refugees, who were so hungry that they could not even get up, swarm over.
“Let’s go, let’s go up the mountain to carry the food!” Jiang Xi had already picked a mountain, and some bandit brothers were holding up a white cloth with the words ‘disaster relief’ written on it. Compared to Zhao Ruifeng’s relief team, which was bestowed by the Emperor, it was quite irregular. Zhao Ruifeng had brought his own food for disaster relief, while Jiang Xi had to rely on her mouth to provide disaster relief.
The people of Happy Town watched from afar and saw a dense crowd of people rushing up the surrounding mountains. About an hour later, they heard the rumbling sound of the snow collapsing. It was followed by a wave of dizziness that grew higher and higher. The people of Happy Town stood on their tiptoes and looked out desperately. In the disaster year, they were all starving to the point that their faces were yellowish and they had never had a full meal. Later on, there were even refugees who fought with them for food. If they were not careful, they could lose their lives. After they finally managed to drive the refugees out, they no longer dared to open the town’s gate, so they could only watch from afar.
“Eh? What were those people moving? I seem to have heard a wolf’s cry?”
“They’re going to the mountain over there again.” No matter where these people went, they would startle the angry roars of wild beasts.
“They couldn’t have been so hungry that they tricked the refugees into going up the mountain to eat them, right?” Someone guessed, and this guess scared the people of Happy Town. Not long after, rumors that the refugees started to eat humans and Happy Village’s favorite food was the refugees spread out.
When Jiang Xi and her men went down the mountain, they heard people shouting everywhere, “The refugees are eating people! The refugees are starting to eat people!”
Jiang Xi, “…”
Jiang Xi led her men to sweep through the surrounding mountains. The refugees looked at Jiang Xi as if she was their savior.
At this moment, the wind was howling, the snow was falling, and the wild beasts were roaring. Every mountain peak seemed to have been razed. Everywhere they passed, there were footprints. Jiang Xi had found every place that could have food. The crowd only saw the villagers of Happy Village come out and go back in a grandiose manner. The number of people had doubled!
“You… What do you want?” Jiang Guoan and the villagers of Happy Village were trembling all over as they watched Jiang Xi bring her people back and the scale of their village expand.
“Didn’t you say that as the village chief, one should lead the Happy Village to glory?” Jiang Xi was confused. In such a desolate and disastrous year, there were many refugees. As long as they could accommodate the refugees, the government would not pursue the matter. The villagers of Happy Village looked at the village that was constantly expanding and felt that something was not right. The number of people in their village seemed to have increased during this period of time. It was even more than their original number.
The old village chief, who had abdicated his position, saw Jiang Xi picking up refugees from outside every day for the past six months. He asked in a trembling voice, “When… When are you getting married?” It was better for her to hurry up and get married to harm the Zhao family instead!
It was no wonder that the people of the Happy Village were so frightened. Not counting the people that Jiang Xi had picked up, the women in the village were also giving birth. The number of villagers in the Happy Village had reached a very terrifying level.
