As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!
Chapter 250 The Last Family in Migu Village
It would be heartbreaking if you spent too much time on the initial move and were unable to carry it back, or if you didn’t have the energy to guard it along the way and it was stolen!
Wang Dafu, Chen Yan, Chen Ping, Chen Jixiang and Gao Yingming led their teams of ten people respectively. After dividing the routes, they started searching.
Chen Yan led his men to the back road of the village. After all, he had the highest martial arts skills among all the people, so the most dangerous place was left to him.
If something happened near the village entrance, the people in the team could still call for help, but the further in you go, the less people there are, so it would be most appropriate for him to go.
These were the last two houses, and everyone in the team felt that it was impossible to run into anyone, even Chen Yan thought so.
Coming out of the second-to-last house, Chen Yan shook his head. The two people guarding outside the door had already expected this.
"Brother Yan, it's normal that you can't find anyone. After all, the well has been abandoned for so long. If there really was someone there, it wouldn't be like that."
Chen Yan knew that what they said made sense, but when he thought about the traces he had just seen on the tree, he always felt that there must be people living in the village.
No one noticed that on one side of the tree's branches, dozens of strips of cloth had signs of being torn, which were the strips of cloth that had been tied back together later.
Judging from the degree of fading of the color, it is probably more than eight or nine years old. It must have been broken during these eight or nine years, but was tied up again by someone.
Chen Yan didn't quite believe that there was no one there, and he had to get to the bottom of it.
There was only one house left, and the people behind him walked forward carelessly, but Chen Yan's heart was in his throat, and he always felt that the truth was behind that door.
He raised his hand and pushed hard, and sure enough, the door remained motionless.
Unlike the houses in front, the door opened as soon as you pushed it.
He glanced back and everyone immediately understood that there was someone in the room.
Unless there is someone in the house, it is impossible to lock the door from the outside, right?
"Boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Chen Yan sorted out his thoughts and began to knock on the door slowly, trying his best to make his tone sound gentler.
"Excuse me, is there anyone here? We mean no harm, we just want to ask something."
"Brother Yan, let's break the door open together!"
"no!"
Chen Yan stopped him immediately, "This is someone else's village. It's inappropriate for us to barge in without warning. How can we break into someone else's house? How is this different from being a bandit?"
After hearing this, several people said angrily, "We didn't think it through."
Chen Yao mouthed something to the last person, indicating that he should go back and call Chen Jixiang and the others over, and then he slowly spoke to the people in the room.
"I don't know if you have ever been to the outside world. It's a mess out there now, with refugees running around everywhere."
"If not, I'm sure you can tell from the changes in the village's water sources and fields. It's almost impossible to grow food in the fields now!"
"If you stay in the village and don't go out, it won't be long before the food at home is gone..."
"We are here this time to fulfill the county magistrate's last wish."
Chen Yan did not say which county magistrate. He admitted that he had confused people a little. He was holding out a glimmer of hope. After all, if there were still people in Migu Village, they would surely know about the incident in the granary many years ago.
However, given the intelligence of the county magistrate of Changnan County at that time, even if he let them know something, he would not reveal the exact location of the granary.
So Chen Yan said this to let the people in the house relax their vigilance and tell them that since he and his group could get this information, they were not bad people.
"We are here for the granary. If you can provide us with some help, we will reward you handsomely after we find the food."
Chen Yan dared to make this promise. Instead of wandering around the village like a headless fly, it would be better to seek help from people in the village who knew the situation.
Besides, Gao Yingming wanted to provide relief to the disaster victims, so weren’t the last family in the village also considered disaster victims?
I just don't know if Chen Jixiang and the other four have gained anything.
There was a faint sound of something falling in the house, but the man hadn't replied yet. Chen Yan waited patiently at the door, ready to discuss what to do after everyone else came over.
After all, no matter how great your idea is, you can't make a decision on your own.
When Chen Jixiang and the other three arrived, they all shook their heads at Chen Yan.
"There's no movement at our place. The whole village is empty. Only you have a harvest."
They approached quietly and knew from what the informant had said that the people in the house were very alert.
The five leaders looked at each other, wondering what to do.
Just as Chen Yan said, it is impossible to break in. It would be too rash.
He did nothing wrong and was living well in his own village. But if you break in, you'll really become a bandit leader.
Suddenly, when the two sides were in a stalemate, a child's cry was heard in the house.
Chen Yan grasped the key point and shouted at the top of his voice, "If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about the child, right? Can he stand being hungry and survive for so long? We really have no ill intentions. If we did, we would have broken into the house long ago. It's impossible for us to discuss this with you in detail. Please reply."
After saying that, he waited for a reply from inside, and at the same time turned to the four people behind him and said, "If it really doesn't work, we can only look for it on our own. It doesn't matter if it takes a little longer."
After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement from inside. Everyone was a little disappointed and was about to turn around and leave when the door suddenly creaked open.
An old woman walked in, and the scene was somewhat similar to the one they had just encountered when they were traveling. There was a small shadow hiding behind the old woman.
However, this pair of grandparents and grandchildren seemed to be in much better condition than the other pairs in the bushes, and it was obvious that they had some surplus food at home.
The old woman only opened the door a crack and looked at the people outside vigilantly. Seeing that they did not look like bad people, she opened the door wide and invited them in.
When the child behind him timidly popped his head out from behind the old woman, Chen Yan shouted in surprise, "Da Fu, why are you here?"
When Dafu heard someone calling his name, he looked up in surprise. When he saw it was Chen Yan, he finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
Seeing familiar people in an unfamiliar environment, Dafu is still a child after all. He had not cried or made a fuss for so many days, but finally he couldn't hold it in anymore.
The old woman didn't think so. When she heard Chen Yan calling Dafu's name and saw Dafu crying very sadly, she immediately hugged the child in her arms and glared at him fiercely.
His attitude also changed 180 degrees, and he picked up a stick and drove everyone away, "Get out of my yard, you unscrupulous people!"
