Chapter 33: Alliance Broken
Before the villagers and Liu Yaoyao and others could say anything, Doctor Xiao began to scold them and inadvertently introduced himself, providing everyone with a lot of information.
"Are you sending the signal to the first in command, or the second in command?"
Qian Lao Hu let out two "ahs", his face full of praise, just like a puppy waiting for praise from his owner.
Doctor Xiao was instantly embarrassed. These potatoes were not found by them. He kept his mouth tightly shut, as if a storm was brewing.
"The potatoes were found by Miss Liu. You decided on your own where to take them without asking her. That's really not very kind of you."
Qian Lao Hu pouted his lips, like a frustrated little fox who had been exposed.
Doctor Xiao was so angry that he wanted to beat the damn guy to death with his medicine hoe.
Others may not know, but he knows very well that this group of people is simply a mob, like a vegetable market.
Previously, village affairs were handled through consultation between the chief and second in command, but as the village's food ran out, the differences between the two grew larger, like two children fighting over candy.
The boss formed a team to go into the mountains to find food, but the people he brought were all old, weak, sick and disabled. It was like taking a group of chicks to find food. Almost some of them starved to death every day.
The troops led by the second in command were mostly young people. They often robbed nearby villages. When there was a serious food shortage, they would even capture children or girls to eat.
Now the second in command in the village has an absolute advantage and almost has the final say, like a domineering little bully.
If it was the second-in-command who came, these villagers would probably not be able to escape, especially the two delicate girls, who were like two lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Doctor Xiao glanced at the two girls, Liu Yaoyao and Liu Jingshu, and thought that it was still in time for them to run away now. After all, the mountain was so big that they would be nowhere to be found if they ran into the mountain and hid, just like two little mice getting into a big granary.
This glance of his happened to be caught by Ling Chenyu, who had a vague guess in his mind, just like a detective who had discovered an important clue.
Doctor Xiao thought of the second in command and became excited. He grabbed Liu Jingshu's hand and tried to run up the mountain like a rabbit eager to escape.
But Liu Jingshu refused to leave. Her chance to go to the imperial city and make meritorious service was right in front of her, so she would naturally not follow him.
"Where are you taking Doctor Xiao?" Liu Jingshu asked with a distant tone. She waved her hand and pushed Doctor Xiao away like an impatient little princess.
Now that the potatoes have been found, Doctor Xiao is of no use to her, but she won't spoil him, like a willful little girl.
Doctor Xiao couldn't pull Liu Jingshu, and he was a little anxious: "Hurry up, if the second in command goes up the mountain soon, none of us will be able to escape!"
He was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet, like an ant on a hot pan.
When Liu Yaoyao heard this, her eyes narrowed and she thought to herself, "It seems that the tricks of these mountain bandits are more serious than I thought."
If so many potatoes didn't belong to her, how could she carry out her grand plan?
Liu Yaoyao scratched her head and couldn't think of a good idea for a moment, so she placed her hopes on Ling Chenyu, a seemingly reliable guy.
Ling Chenyu pondered for a while, as if there was a small fan whirring in his head, and then he directly ordered Leng Ji and the other two to start digging.
Several people were digging with all their strength as if they were injected with chicken blood. Liu Yaoyao was not willing to be outdone and joined them like a female warrior.
As soon as she joined, the eight Yun people who followed behind her seemed to be ignited with fighting spirit and joined the army digging potatoes.
Seeing that Liu Yaoyao and her friends were digging more and more potatoes, piled up like small hills, the villagers finally couldn't sit still anymore and rushed forward to dig like hungry wolves.
Qian Lao Hu was as anxious as a cat whose tail was stepped on. He jumped up and down and shouted, "You stinky dirt-legged people, these potatoes are ours, leave some for me!"
He kicked his younger brother twice and said, "Are you fucking dead? Go dig it out for me!"
There were only about ten younger brothers following behind. They were already one step behind and didn't want to work so hard to dig potatoes, so they went to a farther place and dug while being lazy.
Liu Yaoyao watched everyone busy digging potatoes, and like a cunning fox, she quietly pulled Ling Chenyu aside.
“Hurry up and put these things into your storage space and plant some more.” She looked like a planner, with a cunning gleam in her eyes.
She suddenly had an idea, "Didn't we see that pig before that was only interested in growing purple sweet potatoes? Why not put it in the space as well? Maybe it can help us grow purple sweet potatoes in the future!"
Ling Chenyu always obeyed Liu Yaoyao's words and nodded in agreement without thinking, like a well-behaved little follower.
While Ling Chenyu was thinking about how to supplement Liu Yaoyao's nutrition and make her gain weight, he was also pondering the next plan.
After a moment, he told what he had figured out.
This Yanzi Mountain is very large, there should be more than one herd of cattle. We will go look for more later to see if there is any other food."
"Doctor Xiao looked too panicked just now. I suspect they have weapons. We might as well make plans early."
Liu Yaoyao agreed with this very much and proposed to take the villagers with her to look for food.
Ling Chenyu nodded in agreement. He felt that in the face of natural disasters, the people had no choice but to scramble for food, and they should help each other.
Liu Yaoyao stood up and said to the villagers like a brave general: "We are going to look for something else to eat in the mountains. Are you willing to join us?"
A villager looked up from among the potato leaves and questioned, "The potatoes here are enough for our villagers to eat for a long time. If we plant some more later, we will soon have more than we can eat. If we go deeper into the mountains, will we lose our lives?"
Other villagers also echoed this, saying that they felt their current life was already very good and did not want to take any more risks.
Seeing this, Liu Yaoyao tried to comfort them again: "We have to save more people. There are other people who have no food just like us. We have to go inside and look for more food."
She hoped that more villagers would join her in searching for hope, so as not to stay here and lose their lives in vain.
No matter what she said, in the end, only two villagers were willing to follow her on the adventure.
One is Chen Hao, the son of Widow Zhang, and the other is Chen Hanzi, a lame blacksmith.
