Chapter 164： An unavoidable bad fate?

Chapter 164 An unavoidable bad fate?

Everyone thought this man was from a nearby village. After all, people often came to watch the excitement recently.

The village chief quickly shouted, "Brother, are you from Big Banyan Village or Xiaowang Village? Don't be afraid. Our children are a little naughty. Are you scared?"

But the man kept his head lowered and refused to speak.

A villager suddenly said, "No, village chief, why does this person look familiar to me?"

Everyone looked at the man more carefully. He was about the same height as Li Laosi, a little thin, his clothes and pants were dirty, and his hair was stuck together in strands, covering his eyes and most of his face.

Could it be that they were refugees from somewhere who could no longer survive and were attracted by the smell of the food in the camp?

The village chief said, "Give him a bowl of food. They are all poor people. We will help him when we see him."

Immediately a woman went to find an earthenware bowl and filled it with food, but when she brought it to the man, he refused to take it.

The woman had no choice but to put it on the ground and said, "Eat, we don't have anything good, but we can give you a bowl of rice."

The man suddenly knelt down and cried loudly.

“Woo, village chief, I finally found you! Woo, I was wrong, please accept me.”

Everyone heard the voice that sounded familiar and subconsciously moved closer. The man pushed aside his dirty hair and raised his face. Everyone's expressions changed in shock.

“Hu Hu Laosan?”

This person is none other than Hu Laosan, who was kicked out of the team because of his unwillingness to save others and his selfishness.

When the villagers plunged hundreds of miles into the mountains, they still wanted to stick up. After being rejected again, there was no news again.

Unexpectedly, I saw it here again now.

Is this some kind of bad fate, or is he still haunting?

The village chief frowned tightly and said, "How did you find this place? Where are the others?"

Hu Laosan cried more and more sadly, "We were blocked at the city gate at first and couldn't get through without money. Then someone came to arrest the coolies. Lao Si and Shitou were both arrested. The women and children ran away. Looking for Can’t find it either.”

Perhaps thinking of his wife and son, he almost fainted from crying, his head banging against the stone beneath him.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My son just ran away like that. I don’t know if he was caught by someone! It’s useless for me. Even when I go out to beg for food, I still have to drag you around. Why did I just take you away? lost!"

Everyone felt sour in their hearts when they heard this. To the court, this southward migration was just a word, but to the people, it was a catastrophe. Many families were separated from their wives.

Some people were soft-hearted and advised, "Don't cry. As long as the person is alive, it will be fine. There will always be a chance to find the child in the future."

"Yes, let's take a step back. Ren Yazi captured the child and always kept the child alive before selling it for money. Maybe now the eldest child will enjoy happiness in Xindu."

Hu Laosan wiped his tears and looked pitifully at the village chief and everyone with his red forehead.

"Uncle, I know I was wrong. It was all my fault in the past. Can you keep me? I will work more and give me a pancake a day to keep me from starving. Just let me stay. Wow, I'm like a wild beast outside. Like a dog, anyone can beat me and scold me, I can’t live anymore!”

Everyone looked at each other with cold faces.

Even if we talk about villagers who have lived in the same village for many years, if they don’t see each other even if they look up and look down, they are still considered close to each other.

But on the road to escape, everyone should have the strength to go to one place and help each other to survive. This family is selfish, eating the food the Li family borrowed from them, but doing nothing to save the Li family, which is so chilling.

Now more than 20 of them are dead and injured, and only this one is left. It is indeed pitiful, but this is not the reason for everyone to forgive him and accept him again.

The village chief hates evil as much as he hates it, and what he hates the most is selfish people.

Because on the battlefield, brothers who fight together are each other's most reliable support. Anyone with selfish intentions will often kill everyone. Therefore, he was unwilling to keep Hu Laosan from the bottom of his heart, and was thinking about how to kick him out.

Li Laoer had been observing Hu Laosan carefully, and now he spoke first.

“Uncle village chief, we have agreed that no one will enter the village, but now we cannot break the rules as soon as we have established them. Let’s let Brother Hu go back first and let’s discuss it.”

The village chief immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's discuss it. Hu Laosan, please come back at this time tomorrow."

The villagers were very obedient and dispersed in a flash, continuing to eat.

Hu Laosan probably didn't expect this. He wanted to say something else, but no one wanted to hear it.

He could only get up and walk away timidly.

Li Lao Er immediately called Li Lao Si and Liu Biaotou, "There is something wrong with Hu Lao San. His hair and clothes are dirty, but his wrists and neck are clean. And if he is really living outside and begging for a living, give him food." , He was not in a hurry to eat, it was obvious that he came here after he was full, or because he disliked the food. "

The village chief also responded, "Yes, he just left without even looking at the food. It looks like he has been wandering for many days and has not enough to eat!"

Uncle Zhao couldn't help but curse, "Did this kid come back to plot against us? Catch him and see if I don't break his legs!"

Li Laosi said, "I'll follow you and have a look. I'll make it clear before talking about it."

"Let's go and see where he settled. Does he have any bad intentions? Now that we have occupied the treasure land of hot springs, many people are jealous. Be careful and you won't make a big mistake." The village chief nodded.

Liu Biaotou was worried and stood up and said, "I'll go too, so I can take care of you in case of trouble."

“Well, let’s go and talk about it when we come back.”

Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou immediately chased out and followed Hu Laosan carefully.

The villagers watched from a distance, wondering what they were doing. When asked, Li Laoer said, "There is not enough wood. They went to see where they could cut down trees nearby and save some money."

The villagers stopped asking and continued busy after lunch.

As a result, it was getting dark, and Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou had not returned yet.

Everyone was a little concerned, especially Mrs. Li, who held her granddaughter in her arms and looked at her for a long time.

Mrs. Cui came over, took the good news, and said with a smile, "Auntie, let Fu Niu live in the carriage with me tonight, and I will sleep with her overnight."

Mrs. Li also laughed and said, "Okay, this girl is close to you. If you don't know, she might think she is your daughter."

 Mrs. Cui didn't wait to say anything more, Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou finally came back.

Everyone subconsciously gathered around and talked in all directions.

“You are back, what mountain are you going to? Everyone almost went to find you, because they were afraid that you would encounter some tigers and black bears in the mountains.”

Li Laosi waved his hand, glanced at Mrs. Cui who was holding Jiayin, and then said, "Invite the village chief and Uncle Zhao, we have something to say."

Mrs. Cui didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Li Laosi's look was a little strange, which made her heart skip a beat.

Soon, the villagers gathered in the middle of the valley, sitting around the campfire and looking at Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou.

Li Lao Er asked immediately, "Is there something wrong with Hu Lao San?"
