Chapter Thirteen The Hope of the Village

"It's really beautiful." Ye Bei couldn't find any fault: "It seems that I have passed the test? I don't feel like I'm addicted to it."

Lu Rujue nodded and put a gentle veil on himself again. He was in a complicated mood. He didn't expect that he would meet a once-in-a-thousand-year man in a remote mountainous area: "You are not strong enough now, I will always be by your side and wait for you to become a master."

It’s really a great honor. If a master stays by his side, he feels safe instantly: “Thank you very much.”

The villagers were cleaning up, everyone was full of grief and anger, and there was luck in their eyes.

"At least everyone is still alive." The old patriarch just repeated this sentence, as if the result was really enough, and they really didn't want anything else.

The food was almost ruined, the livestock was killed, and the spring plowing had not yet begun, and they were not enough to eat until the harvest was completed.

Several elderly people gathered in the house to discuss countermeasures. The woman holding the child cried and robbed the earth. Without food, people would starve to death.

The old people had to think of a way. The old patriarch smoked the ancestral water hookah without saying a word, because now they are leading the escape situation. But there are soldiers outside, where can we escape? What should we do if we have escaped?

"Class leader, why don't young people go out and find some work to save food?" "We have some food now. The elderly, women and children can barely eat for more than ten days. When the young people make money, we will buy food before they buy food." The old man who spoke was the third uncle of the village, who was in charge of the accounts in the village and had a broader idea.

"How can you find work outside so easily? Nowadays, no industry can be broken, and you can make money. Which of the shops in the market hires people? They are not accepting apprentices, not paying wages, and being able to provide food and accommodation is considered to be kind to the boss." This is also a fact. Nowadays, as long as the boss wants to recruit child labor, it is useless to work if he doesn't pay wages.

Even if the salary is so bad, many families are still willing to send their children. After all, half-aged children cannot do farm work and are wasting food at home. It is really profitable to have a place to eat and learn skills.

"That's better than escaping. Who knows if you can come back if you escape? Anyway, I won't run away, I'd rather die at home." Uncle San was very resistant to escaping. He was definitely not the only one who had such a escaping idea.

"Class leader, you're saying something. The village is waiting for the results of our discussion." There are many differences of opinions, so the patriarch still needs to make a decision.

It is not easy to make a living outside. The patriarch smoked the hookah and said after a long time, "Third brother, haven't you learned the skills of building a stove when you were young?"

"Brother, do you want us to go out and build a stove?" Uncle San thought, this was a way out: "I'm afraid I can't find someone. I will naturally remember the craftsmanship, but even if someone invites me, I can't make much money."

After all, it has a village with a population of dozens, and it doesn’t mean feeding one or two people.

The villagers gathered outside the clan leader's ancestral house, waiting for the results of discussion, cursing and lamenting.

Qin Ying couldn't help much. Although she could fight, she had no money. The oil lamps on the ground were all made of prey fat. She had checked her house, and the food was emptied. The soles of her unfinished shoes were stolen by the defeated army. She didn't even have needles and thread left for her. She originally wanted to make a pair of cloth shoes for her junior brother, but now she had to give up.

"How is Zhao Hu?" Ye Bei rushed over from the ancestral hall and saw that his senior sister was waiting for the clan leader's decision with everyone, so he came over to ask.

"He is much better, but he is still resting." After a night, Zhao Hu did control himself, but he did not continue to immerse himself in the dream, but he was still a little weak now. The senior sister glanced at Ye Bei: "Is she good-looking?"

"It looks good, it's so good, but unfortunately it's just an illusion."

Qin Ying was still very angry when Ye Bei praised the Demon Evil, but after Ye Bei said the trick of destroying the Demon Evil, he did not start his education: "Fortunately you didn't fall into a trap. It's just that it's an illusion. The Demon Evil hurts people, don't take it seriously." After that, he asked again: "She is still in the ancestral hall?"

"Yes." Ye Bei answered honestly.

"What does she want to do?" Qin Ying didn't want such a disaster to stay in the village, it was too dangerous.

"She has no support now and has nowhere to go, so she wants to stay here and live with us." Ye Bei said immediately without waiting for her senior sister to object, "I have agreed."

"You?!" Qin Ying felt that she had really put her efforts into vain. Her junior brother was still confused. For a moment, she didn't know how to criticize Ye Bei. She felt sorry for her master and that she was an incompetent senior sister.

"Senior sister, don't be angry. She has saved dozens of people from Zhaojia Village. We can't repay our grudges. Don't worry, she said she would not contact the people in the village again to avoid hurting the villagers."

Qin Ying didn't believe it, but she knew that Ye Bei had agreed and she couldn't object anymore. The junior brother was a man, so she had to pay attention to his feelings: "You should do it yourself. Don't let me clean up the mess if something happens."

"It's Ye Bei, Xiao Ye, come in." The old patriarch suddenly called Ye Bei in, and everyone was puzzled. I wonder what the old patriarch meant. How could an outsider named Ye be qualified to attend such a meeting?

However, the patriarch called out, and everyone made a way out and let Ye Bei go in.

Ye Bei thought to himself whether his fake identity as an international student was valued? Otherwise, he could not think of why the patriarch was looking for him. After all, Ye Bei was the only person in the village who had seen the world in his setting. If the village moved now, he would definitely need someone who knew what was going on.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Third Uncle, Sixth Uncle, Seventh Uncle." The four old people in the village were all here, all looking at Ye Bei.

"Sit down." The elders of the clan had a lot, their eyes were covered with bloodshots: "Xiao Ye, the village has to thank you and Qin Yatou. If you weren't for your ability, the defeated soldiers wouldn't have left so quickly. Thank you."

"No need to thank you, I am also from Zhaojia Village." Ye Bei, a time traveler, had no place to stay outside.

"Xiao Ye, you are a grateful person. Then I won't beat around the bush. I believe you know the situation in the village. The Zhao family has lived here for seven or eight generations, and it is not the first time that they have encountered natural disasters and man-made disasters. I believe everyone can survive this time. Now we have an idea, hoping that you can take some young people out to make a living. You are an international student who has seen the world. I heard that the wages in big cities are high, and you earn money to sell food. Let us overcome this difficulty together." This is the result of the discussion between the four old people, letting young people go to big cities to make a breakthrough. If there were no fake international student Ye Bei, the patriarch would not have made up his mind. Now after thinking about it, only by going to big cities can he have the opportunity to make enough money, otherwise their village would really have to escape.

When the young man left, the others stayed in the village and stood up, and sold all the things that could be exchanged for money at home first, and survived the most difficult moment. Just wait for the young man to make money and come back, and Ye Bei became the hope of the whole village.

"Okay." Without hesitation at all, Ye Bei agreed confidently.
