Chapter 8： here, no hope

Chapter 8 is here, hopeless

"Farewell?"

Chen Guodong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his outstretched hand was hanging in the air. He forcefully forced a smile, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "It's fine, why did you leave? Is it because you have any objections to the distribution of the prey? If you have an opinion, we can talk about it, can't we?"

Anyone could tell that he panicked.

The woman hugged the little boy and looked at the scene in front of her in panic. Her mind was so blank that she forgot to say something to keep him.

Chen Fan was also shocked.

He remembered what Uncle Zhang said before, the Wei brothers, I'm afraid they won't stay for too long, who would have thought that it would be fulfilled so soon?

"Brother Guodong, it's not what you think."

A man who looked somewhat similar to Wei Tiangong, but younger, stood up, but he was a little embarrassed to look into Chen Guodong's eyes.

"We have no objection to the distribution of prey, and you also have no objection to Brother Guodong. At the beginning, you inspired everyone, dug deep into the barriers, and repelled the beasts."

"Yeah yeah."

The two behind the two brothers also nodded sharply.

"Then, why are you leaving?"

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Guodong's forehead.

There were not many adult men in the village, but four of them would leave after leaving, and the two Wei brothers were among them. Once they left, the already impoverished village would become even worse.

Chen Fan's heart also reached his throat.

Of course he doesn't want these people to go.

Wei Tianyuan glanced at his brother, who nodded slightly.

"Brother Guodong, let me tell the truth, don't be angry."

"how come?"

Chen Guodong said with a forced smile.

What he is most afraid of is the choice made after weighing the pros and cons, because it means that it cannot be retained.

Wei Tianyuan took a deep breath, looked at Chen Guodong and said, "Because if you stay here, there is no hope."

After saying this, there seemed to be a sound of something breaking in the room.

"Brother Guodong, we have a lot of money here. There are only more than a hundred people, and the adult men are less than twenty. Counting a few young men, the rest are old and weak women and children. With so many mouths, just a few of us. It's hard to feed."

"Yes, it is difficult," Chen Guodong opened his mouth, "But we have persisted until today, haven't we? We can still persist."

"What about us?"

At this time, Wei Tiangong spoke.

His eyes were extremely calm, "The Zhao family brothers in Zhaojiabao, like us a few years ago, could only open a 100-jin hunting bow. In the later stage of body quenching, you can pull a hard bow of three hundred catties, if we have enough food, we can do it too."

Chen Guodong was suddenly speechless, ashamed.

That's right, every time the hunting team catches prey, more than half of it is due to the Wei brothers' contribution, but every time they come back, they can only get a small part.

"Guodong."

As if realizing that he was speaking too seriously, Wei Tiangong sighed and said in a slow tone: "Listen to my advice, it is hopeless to stay here, why not go to Zhaojiabao with us, where not only is there more food, The living conditions are much better, and the most important thing is that you can learn some skills to strengthen your body. In this world, you can only survive if you have the strength."

"Yes, Brother Guodong, come with us."

Wei Tianyuan's eyes were full of hope.

The two brothers have paid so much for the village, and they have a clear conscience.

Now, they should also live for themselves and become stronger so that their families will no longer live a life of hunger and cold.

Chen Fan looked at his father, if he guessed correctly.

Sure enough, Chen Guodong took a deep breath, his eyes were moist, and he smiled with tears in his eyes: "I understand, Tiangong, going to Zhaojiabao is indeed the best choice. How could I blame you? All along, if you hadn't been If we pay silently, Zhaizi will not persevere until today."

Hearing this, Wei Tiangong and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

However, there is also a little guilt in my heart.

"Brother Guodong, won't you go with us?" Wei Tianyuan asked hastily after realizing it.

"No."

Chen Guodong smiled slightly, looked at the houses not far away, and said: "Before the village was built, I promised everyone to live with them. It can be said that this village is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Neither one can be built.

Now, many of them are gone, like Ah Quan, Da Fei, and Zhu Zi, but their families are still there. I can’t abandon them. "

The voice fell, and there was a dead silence all around. The eyes of the men present were all red.

Wei Tiangong took a deep breath, his eyes were red, he stretched out his hand, and patted the former on the shoulder, "Brother Guodong, take care."

After speaking, he glanced at Chen Fan and the others at the side, then turned and left resolutely.

"Brother Guodong, I'm sorry."

Wei Tianyuan bowed and followed quickly.

"Brother Guodong, we are leaving, take care!"

"Take care of yourself."

The other two gave him a reluctant look, turned and left.

Following a few figures, they completely disappeared into the night, and even the sound of footsteps could hardly be heard clearly.

Chen Fan looked at his father, standing there like petrified, with tears rolling in his eyes.

"well."

He sighed inwardly.

Although he couldn't empathize, he could understand the complex emotions in the latter's heart a little bit.

Of course, the most important thing is that the situation in the village is even worse.

Must, upgrade the [Basic Archery] level as soon as possible!

"Let's eat first, Guodong."

The woman said with a pale face.

Chen Guodong ignored it, and nodded after a long while.

Although the dinner was called "rich", the atmosphere on the dinner table was quiet and scary.

The woman put several pieces of rabbit meat into Chen Fan's bowl, and said distressedly: "Xiao Fan, you have been practicing archery all day today, eat more."

"yes."

The taciturn Chen Guodong also reacted at this moment, picked up a few more pieces of meat, and put them into Chen Fan's bowl, watching the little boy beside him drooling.

There are only two pieces in his bowl, which is clear at a glance.

"Dad, you should eat more."

Chen Fan was flattered and hurriedly took the meat back.

The other party is the pillar of the family, not to mention, it will be more difficult to hunt when the Wei family brothers leave tomorrow.

"You can eat, I have no appetite."

Chen Guodong smiled slightly.

Chen Fan was silent when he saw this.

The meat in the bowl smelled tangy, he finally couldn't help it, took a piece, put it in his mouth and chewed, he felt that the aroma was overflowing between his lips and teeth, the meat was just cooked, sprinkled with a little salt, but it was delicious It must be able to swallow the tongue.

Just then, a piece of information came to mind.

【Potential point +0.1】

"?"

Chen Fan was stunned.
