It was just the quarter before si.

Not far away, in the cave where Village Chief He Qiang lived, there was another noisy scene.

"Village chief, do you think Yu Qingshu's family has secretly run away? When will he give us the money he promised?"

A thin and weak man in the village, whose father unfortunately died because of eating wolf meat last time, was worried about Yu Qingqing's family, so he didn't give the money and felt that he was left empty-handed.

"That's right! Village chief, if it were you, I should have never let them go in the first place. You said you should find the person first and then give them the money.

Those people are so vicious, if they really find the person, how can he be a good person? In my opinion, Yu Qingqing might have been raped by them a long time ago, and what will happen if their family regrets it then?"

A middle-aged woman with a gray cloth bag on her head, with a sarcastic look on her face, kept chattering in front of Village Chief He Qiang. Before Village Chief He Qiang could respond, someone else started talking.

"I'm asking, village chief! Have Yu Qingshu and his family changed their minds and want to stay in the village by themselves?

I tell you, none of us will agree to this, don’t you think?

With evildoers like Yu Qingqing around, who knows what kind of trouble will happen to the village in the future."

An old woman with wrinkles on her face also started talking nonsense.

"Village chief! Village chief! Please say something! Have they really hidden themselves?"

When everyone saw that the village chief didn't say anything, they began to feel anxious.

Village chief He Qiang lowered his head in thought, always feeling that this was unfair to Yu Qingshu and his family.

But at that time I had no choice but to agree to their demands.

But now, listening to these people, He Qiang became angrier and angrier. Why was he so foolish in the beginning that he was threatened by these people?

"Shut up, all of you! Look at what you are talking about.

No one is begging you to eat the wolf meat, it is you who are licking others' faces and begging them.

Now, when something goes wrong, you think it’s someone else’s fault. Think about it yourself, don’t you have any problems at all?”

Village chief He Qiang was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring, his hands could not help but tremble, and his feet stomped hard on the ground.

Seeing these people's relentless faces, I can't help but regret it.

"Village chief! Aren't we afraid that they will sneak away? Although the medicine has been brought to us, this is a matter of life and death, so we can't be careless!

Besides, their daughter was kidnapped, and their reputation has long been ruined. Even if they give her to our family, we cannot afford such a daughter-in-law."

A woman nearby didn't see the village chief, her face turned pale, and she started to slander Yu Qingqing again.

"That's right! That's right! If I were kidnapped, I might as well die instead of staying here and suffering."

A woman who also had a son at home also joined in the conversation.

They all thought that their sons were great and would marry better women in the future, and they absolutely could not allow a woman with a bad reputation to corrupt the morals of the village.

"If you don't shut up, I'll be the one to report you to the police. I can't just stand by and keep talking nonsense here."

Village chief He Qiang took a deep breath and felt that if they continued talking nonsense, he would probably be pissed to death by them.

"Alright! Alright! We won't say anything more, it's just the village chief! It won't take long for those people to catch the bandits!

We have been eating tree roots for a long time. If this continues, we will probably starve to death!

Have you received any news about when those officials will be able to arrest the people?"

A tall middle-aged man next to him asked the question that he was most concerned about.

When will they be able to get the food back? They can't expect to get all of it, but at least they can keep some food.

“I have also thought about this question, but I haven’t heard any news yet.

I heard about this news from Yu Qingshu before, and I don’t know the details.”

Village chief He Qiang pursed his lips, feeling really sorry for Yu Qingshu and his family, for not protecting others. He even had to trouble others again, and he was really speechless with himself.

"Village chief, did you say that it was Yu Qingshu who said that? Then he didn't say anything else. Is what he said true? Village chief, you wouldn't be fooled by him, would you?"

When the people around heard that it was Yu Qingshu who said this, they all had a look of doubt on their faces.

How could Yu Qingshu be so kind? How could a commoner like him get such important information?

The person who spoke was filled with jealousy towards Qingshu.

"Believe it or not, they don't owe you anything. Stop talking nonsense outside. They mean well.

Whether you believe it or not, it is your business. Others have no obligation or responsibility to be responsible for you.

If I hear any of you gossiping again, don't blame me for being rude and merciless."

Village chief He Qiang heard the irrelevant words these people said.

He really resisted the urge to hit them, but he just couldn't understand why they had agreed but then went back on their word.

In fact, he didn’t know that this was done by his good son He Qiuyi. Yu Linger complained about this in front of He Qiuyi.

Because Yu Ling'er still holds a grudge against her mother for being beaten last time, she thinks that Yu Qingqing and her family are the culprits behind all this.

He Qiuyi was fanning the flames among those people just to make the beauty smile, and that's why he drove Yu Qingshu's family out.

"Yes, village chief! We all know it and we won't tell anyone."

When those people saw that the village chief's face became extremely ugly, they were also worried about being caught in the trap.

So I could only hold back the resentment and anger in my heart and didn't say anything more.

Just when Village Chief He Qiang was about to return to his resting place, an accident happened.

“Village chief! Village chief! Something bad has happened in our village…in our village…

A young man was running hurriedly in front of the village chief. Maybe because he was running too fast, he was out of breath when he spoke.

Moreover, he stuttered when he spoke, and everyone's eyes were on him. He didn't finish his words, which made people feel anxious.

"Hu Zi, tell me what happened? Don't be so hesitant. Why don't you say anything? What happened in the village again?"

The people around him were also very anxious after hearing what happened. Seeing Hu Zi sweating profusely and speaking hesitantly, they felt very uncomfortable.

"Yes! Hu Zi, tell me quickly! No matter what happens, I will take care of it for you. Tell me what happened in the village."

Village chief He Qiang also heard half of it and had a vague bad feeling in his heart, thinking that things were not that simple.

Just as Hu Zi was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from the entrance of the cave, "Help! Village chief, help!"
