Chapter 1137： Shatter the backbone of Jintan!

Chapter 1137 Shattering Jintan’s backbone!

The villagers did not expect that the village chief and the princess would agree to this after discussing it for a long time, and finally gave up any hope.

Although they are still a little confused, the habits they have developed over the years have made them extremely trusting of the village chief and the Li family.

At this time, obedience is the only option.

So everyone turned around and ran home.

But Uncle Zhao and the others not only did not leave, but instead found a place to sit down.

Jiayin sighed. Needless to say, they had made up their mind to stay and look after the house.

She tried to persuade her, but Uncle Zhao waved his hand in advance and said with a smile, "Princess, stop talking, the weather is hot, drink some water, don't waste your time on us.

“Our old fate should have been left at the foot of the mountain when we first fled, but everyone took it seriously and took great efforts to bring us to Broken Gold Beach.

“For so many years, we have had to eat and drink, and we have enjoyed a lot of blessings.

“It stands to reason that we should have gone to see the Lord of Hell a long time ago. We have taken advantage of us for more than ten years, and we are satisfied.

“Something happened this time, and everyone went south, and we didn’t want to hold them back any longer. We stayed behind to guard Broken Gold Beach for everyone.

"Who really thinks that our life is worth killing, and we are not afraid. After all, there are young men like us in the village who will avenge us in the future, right?"

“It’s just that these boys know how to play wildly on weekdays. It’s really a bit of a family feud that urges them to become sensible earlier.” Uncle Wei also smiled, as if he was happy to sacrifice his knife to pave the way for the boys.

The village chief couldn't help but stare and cursed with a smile, "You don't know what to say, why are you trying to scare the princess? If you want to stay, you can stay. No one cares. Everyone is busy. If you should go on patrol, go patrolling. Be careful if someone comes to take advantage of the situation.”

Uncle Zhao took the lead and stood up, jokingly saying, "Look, we are working so hard that we can't sit still for a while. Let's go on patrol!"

After saying that, several old men called Dahei Erhei and went out.

Jiayin’s nose felt sore as she looked at their staggering backs.

Mu Jue, who had been watching all this quietly, stepped forward, half-way to block her, and then gently held her hand.

No one knows this feeling better than him. After all, he has also experienced the life and death of his relatives...

He advised softly, "You have tried your best, don't blame yourself. Everything will be fine."

Jiayin silently shook his hand and said, "Let's go, follow me to invite Mr. Jiang."

"No, you stay and rest, I'll go." Mu Jue was reluctant to leave the good news and sat her down, then turned and walked out the door.

The village chief called a literate boy, got paper and pen, set up a table, and planned to record everyone who came or stayed.

Soon, villagers who had packed their luggage began to gather again.

As expected from the good news, almost all the families sent away their children and young couples, and all the elders planned to stay.

It is hard to leave the homeland. These four words are not said in vain.

 Back then, they went all the way from Jiangbei to the south. After all the hardships they endured and how many times they fought for their lives, these old people cherished their current life so much that they couldn't bear to part with their homeland of Broken Gold Beach, which held all their hopes.

They are like big trees that have grown for many years and no longer have the strength to uproot all their roots and move again.

On the other hand, children and young couples have not yet completely taken root. They can start over in the south and even develop better. The village chief also sighed and persuaded again, "We don't need so many people staying in the village. Don't worry about your family. Just follow when it's time to leave. After all, no matter how sensible the children are, they still need the guidance of the elders when they go south."

A man in his forties smiled honestly and responded, "Village chief, we have thought about it. The orchard in the village is about to be picked, and the fields are inseparable from carrying water for a while. I really can't bear to do it.

"Although the children are young, they will still be taken care of by the elders when they reach the south, so we can rest assured."

Another old lady also added, "Actually, even in the village, the parents take great care of the children's education and clothing, and we don't have much care."

A woman hugged her son and echoed, "Besides, aren't the old lady, the fourth lady, and the princess all allowed to leave? If we stay, we can always help. When something really happens, we need people to stand in the way. Yes or no?"

After saying that, she gave her son a hard push and motioned for him to stand with his friends.

 with 30-plus young couples, about 80 people in total, all with swollen eyes, obviously very reluctant to leave, but no one cried out at this moment.

The village chief suppressed his sobs and nodded repeatedly.

“Okay, well done! These are the people from Broijintan who have the backbone!”

At this time, people from the second village also came over.

Similarly, those carrying luggage are children.

All veterans, wounded soldiers, old people, and even young women stayed.

Without waiting for persuasion from the village chief and Jiayin, Xiaocui acted as a representative and stood up and said, "The men in our family are still fighting in the north. No matter what, we have to wait for them to come back. After being away from home for several months, we have to fight for our lives with our heads hanging on our belts. , How can we let them in without even having a bowl of hot food!”

The elders also nodded, "Yes, we don't believe it. Those officials in the court are so cruel! Our son is killing barbarians for Tianwu, and the court doesn't care whether we have enough food and clothing, but they will chop off our heads!" Then we are just being ghosts and supporting our son to return to Jiangnan!"

The veterans and wounded soldiers were all excited and laughed loudly.

"Yes, uncle is right. When the time comes, we will also go into battle with swords. Maybe we can cooperate inside and outside and directly capture the new capital."

“Don’t worry, I’m missing one of my hands. If I face those weaklings guarding the city gate, it’s not a problem to kill ten of them!”

After a few laughs like this, it turned out that a veteran said something serious.

“It was thanks to the good fortune of the Marquis and the kindness of the Lord that he took us in to live and work in peace and contentment in Suijintan. Suijintan is now our home. No matter what happens, we cannot leave.

"What's more, now that the Marquis is away, we have to guard Broken Gold Beach. Otherwise, how can we have the face to see the Marquis in the future! We have never escaped on the battlefield, but now we are embarrassed? No, no!"

“Children, just leave, don’t worry about home, we old killers are here!”

Everyone nodded along.

In the courtyard, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Everyone feels tragic, grateful, and has the courage to unite as one!

Only no fear and no shrinking!

“Don’t worry, everyone, the children will definitely be safe as long as I’m here!” Mr. Jiang responded loudly, and strode in from outside the courtyard, accompanied by Mu Jue.

Everyone immediately became noisy, saluted one after another, and wanted to say a few words of thanks, but it seemed that nothing could express their feelings.
