Chapter 17 Convincing People with Reason

"stop!"

Ye Xuan interrupted everyone's words to prevent his reputation from continuing to decline.

"Bandage them, they will come in handy later."

Everyone gathered around to watch these unlucky guys lying on the ground and whining, and Xuan Jie asked questions from the depths of her soul.

"They are so miserable...can they still work?"

Xing Yishan nodded during the first half of the sentence, and after the entire sentence, she nodded to express her objection.

How many people has Ye Xuan led astray! It seems that my sister cannot be easily left to others.

"It's okay. I acted in a measured manner. It's just a broken leg."

Father Xuan snorted coldly and expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Hmph! You almost got hit just now! If I had taken action, this would never have happened."

Several people had discussed it before. If there was to be a fight, Ye Xuan would be the first to fight, and Xuanfu would be the trump card.

After all, Xuanfu's flames are nothing to zombies, but they are too lethal to humans.

Ye Xuan held two wooden boards and helped them bandage their injured legs while saying:

"Don't worry! There will be a chance for you to show up. Please bring your weapons later. We will go to the registration office to investigate and bring some people over to do the work."

"Yeah, I agree. There are so many things that we alone can't do."

Everyone thought about yesterday's happy life and agreed with this. Even Xing Yishan, the most ethical person, did not object.



The village chief's home is also the so-called registration office.

Ye Xuan drove the two people with intact legs and feet out of the car and motioned them to go ahead and explore the way.

Several people followed them into the yard and saw the village chief sitting happily under a big tree with a plate of grapes on the left and a plate of melon seeds on the right. Two other people were playing poker with him.

Looks so happy!

The only person who was not injured was called Cong Xin. Ye Xuan asked him:

"What ability does the village chief have? He allows you to watch him eat, drink and have fun and still tolerate his anger?"

Answer honestly and from the heart.

“All the food is in the hands of the village chief, and if you want to fill your stomach, you have to work.

And there are so many of them, you see, those two people are his relatives, one is his cousin, and the other is his nephew, and there are some other relatives who are outside watching others working!"

Ye Xuan flipped through the desktop and found the registration form, which had only 47 records in total.

There were hundreds of people in the entire village, but only these 47 people could be found.

The village chief glanced at Ye Xuan and his group, and his eyes lit up when he saw a few girls.

Here comes the person who washes my feet!

But after counting the number of people, I felt trouble again. There were too many people.

It would be nice if there weren't those two men.

"You are here to register, right? Fill out the form first."

Ye Xuan weighed the roster of future employees in his hand and put it in his arms.

"Don't worry, there are still a bunch of wounded people in the car! Let's move them down first."

The village chief looked at the neat row of people lying on the car and asked in surprise:

"Qizai, how did you get injured?"

Ye Xuan answered first, and used his eyes to hint to the injured to shut up.

"When they stole my things, I discovered them. Instead of apologizing, they tried to do something to me.

Later they found out that I was not only handsome but also strong, so they lay on the ground and planned to blackmail me.

Of course, this is not important. What is important is that all my supplies were damaged because of them, and you must compensate."

Every time Ye Xuan said something, the village chief took a step back. When he finished speaking, the village chief hugged the two people.

The village chief finally understood that these people were not here to wash his feet, they were here to cause trouble.

He asked his nephew to contact his second uncle immediately, while he calmed them down with words.

"Oh! Don't worry! We have gathered to protect the safety of every villager.

As long as you have needs, we will definitely work hard if we can."

Ye Xuan saw the grandson's movements and knew that they had called someone.

So he stopped talking to the village chief, warned his teammates to be careful, and found a place to hang up quietly.

The village chief felt strange when he saw that the other party didn't respond, but it didn't stop him from feeling happy.

Before, I was worried that my failure to agree would cause them to suddenly fall out, but now it's fine, and the other party is willing to cooperate with him to delay the matter.

One party is waiting for his relatives, while the other party is waiting for his employees.

Half an hour passed quickly. Ye Xuan, who was getting bored, borrowed a deck of playing cards from the village chief.

The village chief happily gave him the card in his hand.

Even the playing cards were gone, and it was pointless for the village chief to crack melon seeds, so Ye Xuan kindly helped him with melon seeds and grapes.

Finally, Ye Xuan and his party sat under the big tree, with a plate of melon seeds on the left and a plate of grapes on the right. A group of people were happily playing cards around the table.

…………

Ye Xuan rubbed the note from his eyes and finally saw the villagers.

He wiped the note off his face, stood up and said:

"Okay, here we come. Business is important!"

The only person with no note on his face looked at the others who immediately wiped the notes away and said sadly:

"Why is it like this again? I finally got it all covered."

The village chief came over with dozens of people and surrounded Ye Xuan and his party.

"Hmph, you are taking advantage of the large number of people to bully the weak, which is harmful to nature.

No matter how hard Qizai and the others worked, they ended up having their legs broken by you. Today I will seek justice for them."

Xuanfu looked at the current situation and felt that it was his turn to perform.

Ye Xuan signaled his teammates to calm down first, and then said to the village chief:

"What is our process? Go directly to the last step, or go through every step?"

When the village chief heard this, his original train of thought suddenly became confused.

What the hell?

What is he talking about?

Which regional dialect were you just speaking in?

He was stunned for a few seconds, reorganized his thoughts, and said bravely:

"Killing requires a life. Although Qizai and the others were not killed, they were seriously injured, so the punishment they deserve must not be less!"

Ye Xuan nodded, this is a process!

He sat on the chair and looked at the group of people with his head slightly raised, but his eyes seemed to be looking down at them.

"continue!"

The village chief coughed dryly, gained courage, and continued:

"Recognizing your mistakes can greatly improve things. Since you are willing to surrender, I will give you a chance. Except for the principal culprit, everyone else will only be punished slightly."

"Go on."

"Since you have admitted your mistake, then I will send people to put you in jail and wait for interrogation! Don't worry, we will never wrongly accuse good people! Except for the main criminal, nothing will happen to anyone else."

"That's it?"

The village chief looked at the man in front of him and pretended to be indifferent. Don't you feel scared when dozens of us are surrounding you?

Keep going! Go on! Do you think you are the leader coming to inspect? Where is your confidence?

The calmer Ye Xuan becomes, the more angry the village chief becomes.

He suppressed his anger and decided to scare the monkeys later! This would also let others know that he was not someone to be trifled with!

Seeing that the village chief was so angry that he was speechless, Ye Xuan started his own round.

"Finished?"

"Why don't those people have their legs broken and how they got their legs broken? Why don't you explain it in detail?

They were caught stealing my things, and they got so angry that they tried to take action, but I broke their legs.

I am not surrendering myself. I am here to demand compensation.

Of course, not everyone present is related to this matter. Since the village chief said he would only look for the culprit, I am the same.

Now, the people related to the village chief stay, and everyone else can leave. I will not hold you accountable."

The village chief looked at the crowd behind him and thought, is this the confidence of this kid? To use words to sow discord?

Is the current situation unclear? Will anyone still leave?

At this time, several people hesitantly walked out of the large group and stood aside to watch.

He looked at a few people and cursed inwardly at the unreliable white-eyed wolf! How many people had he fed by passing out the food? But now they backed down after saying a few words?

But now that the situation is urgent, he can't worry about it so much. He needs to comfort the good people first.

"Those building materials were collected to build the fortress and protect the villagers!"

The village chief roared heartbreakingly, trying to be heard by everyone present. He raised his arms high and waved them continuously.

"If there is a bunker to protect us, there will be fewer casualties when zombies attack! Can you bear to watch them die? They are human lives too!"

He looked at everyone at the scene who was full of emotion, and thought that although there was no loudspeaker, the effect was not bad at all, and even more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Ye Xuan then asked indifferently:

"So where would be a better place to build a fort?"

The village chief cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and said hoarsely:

"For now, a place that can shelter everyone is more suitable."

At this moment, he felt like he was possessed by Batman.

"And I will protect everyone!"

Some of the villagers cheered, some clapped, and others were also infected by this momentum, and their eyes turned slightly red.

Ye Xuan was not surprised by this answer. After all, he thought so too. Of course, he was more direct.

"In other words, you want to use our materials and everyone's materials to build your fortress?"

Ye Xuan didn't want to scream loudly, so his voice was not as loud as the other party's.

But, it doesn’t waste its voice!

The village chief took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and smiled inwardly.

Ignorant child, now I have mastered the hearts of most people, and you have nothing. I win this game!

Ye Xuan looked at the cup of tea that had been drunk and subconsciously pushed it away, disgusted!

The village chief saw the disgust on his face, and he became more and more angry. This guy was so wet that he didn't even know it! How dare he dislike me?

"Although the fortress uses everyone's materials, it protects everyone! As long as you make no mistakes and contribute to the village, you can enter the fortress and get a stable environment."

Ye Xuan saw that only a few people around him were leaving, and he knew that most people were more optimistic about the village chief who had more power.

It’s almost time to enter the final stage. Since you are my enemy, I will never go too far no matter what I do!

Of course, although you look down on me and want to hit me, it doesn't matter!

I, Ye Xuan! A good person!

If I retaliate with kindness, not only will I not blame you, I will also be willing to recruit you as employees!

Ye Xuan stood up and was about to say something.

A figure pushed aside the crowd and squeezed into the circle.

"Hey, hey, hey! Everyone, calm down! Let's calm down. Come on, Xiaoxuan, eat some peanuts. This is what my uncle just dug out."

Uncle Shui's sudden appearance interrupted Ye Xuan's next actions.

"Hey, I just came back. Although I don't know what happened? But we can discuss everything carefully! There are only a few people left in the village now. It's business for everyone to overcome the difficulties together. There is no need to hurt the harmony."

The village chief looked at him in shock. He didn't expect Uncle Shui to stand up for Ye Xuan. After a while, he still felt that he had to talk to him about the important points.

"Ah Shui, Qizai had his leg broken by him! In this situation, breaking a leg is a fatal matter!"

"Xiao Qi, that insignificant thing, if his leg is broken, it will be a long memory. The village doctor has seen it, and he will be fine after a few more months of training."

Hiss! The village chief took a deep breath, wondering why Uncle Shui was so protective of him.

Hey! Uncle Shui also sighed secretly in his heart, wondering why the village chief was so eager to seek death.

The scene of killing zombies yesterday was still vivid in my mind, and I had a nightmare at night. The dream was not about zombies with hideous faces wandering around the streets, but about Ye Xuan.

——Ye Xuan, who was covered in blood.

Countless corpses piled up into a hill at his feet, and drops of blood gathered into a stream, but he was still waving the shovel expressionlessly.

Uncle Shui subconsciously looked at Ye Xuan and found this young man standing aside with a harmless smile on his face.

The most important thing is that he didn't see the shovel.

so far so good……

At this time, the village chief had already made up a super-long TV series with eighty-eight episodes in his mind. The content included car accidents, amnesia, love triangles, four-corners, breakups, cancer and other ridiculous elements.

Fortunately, he and Uncle Shui have known each other for many years, so they never doubted each other's XP system.

Otherwise, just by looking at Ye Xuan's appearance, he would have doubted whether the two people had some other relationship.

Wait, an idea flashed in the village chief's mind.

I remember that one day after I got drunk, I felt all kinds of discomfort in my anus. Ah Shui said that I fell down when I was drunk.

Is it possible...

Everyone knows that Uncle Shui and the village chief are old friends for many years. At this time, Uncle Shui is protecting Ye Xuan, and the two suddenly confront each other, which makes them instantly enter the melon-eating mode.

That's right, in the eyes of most people at the scene, Uncle Shui is protecting Ye Xuan now.

Because everyone at the scene was thinking about it, no one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Ye Xuan kept thinking about whether he should give Uncle Shui some face.

He clapped his hands to dispel the awkward atmosphere.

"Okay! That's it, let a few of them work for me for a few days and forget about it."

Ye Xuan clicked on the two people who played cards with the village chief before. The reason why he clicked on these two people was because he only knew these two people.

After the village chief heard these words, the TV series in his mind stopped instantly.

This guy, if he didn't admit his mistake now, he would just run away in despair. He actually dared to stay here with five people and six people!

"Hmph! For Ah Shui's sake, I won't argue with you. You go collect six carts of supplies and give them to those people as an apology. That's the end of it."

Seeing that the two were about to face each other again, Uncle Shui immediately said:

"Those people are seeking their own death, what kind of compensation do they need! Xiaoxuan! Let's do this, I'll pick two younger ones for you, and I'll make sure they're strong enough to work!"

He picked two strong men from the crowd and pulled them over.

"You will follow Xiaoxuan later and listen to his instructions."

The village chief's heart skipped a beat, as one of them had some relationship with him. He was considered a distant relative of his. He was usually honest and easy to coax.

He gave Uncle Shui a meaningful look. Originally, he could stay here leisurely, eat and drink, and sit and watch his younger brothers working.

It is because he has many relatives and seniority, and has many ways to deal with those who cause trouble, that he can play in a stable manner.

But if these few people join forces with Uncle Shui, even though the number of people is still not enough for me, there is someone on the other side who is very capable of fighting.

Danger!

The village chief felt that the time for eating, drinking and having fun had gone by in an instant, and the originally arranged plans were also waving goodbye.

He glanced at the people around him and planned to take the opportunity to split Uncle Shui and Ye Xuan.

"Let's do this! Taking advantage of the crowd, I want to announce something!

In this apocalyptic world, the village leader should lead everyone to survive together.

Since I was originally the village chief and the current situation was not very stable, I temporarily acted as the village chief for a few days.

Now that the situation is gradually stabilizing, we should all run for the position of village chief based on our abilities.

Come and lead everyone to live a better life!”

Everyone at the scene was confused when they heard this, and they suddenly burst into laughter.

The former village chief waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Anyone who has ideas can sign up now. All villagers can count two votes, and tourists can count one vote. Together, we can choose a more suitable village leader."

When Ye Xuan heard this, he was immediately interested. This seemed interesting!

If I could become the village chief, wouldn't I be able to have more employees?

"I'll come, I won't tell anyone secretly, I want to be the village chief!"

Seeing Ye Xuan's statement, the village chief smiled.

The plan was successful! There must be some rift between the two of them!

And with the first one came the second one, and everyone expressed that they also wanted to be the village chief.

Although there was a lot of discussion at the scene, no one could really gain everyone's approval.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was almost over, the former village chief took this opportunity to stand up.

I have to say that he still has some abilities, and now he can make everyone quiet down just by brushing his face.

"I won't say more if it sounds nice. If you are willing to believe me, then let me continue to lead you forward."

Seeing that my support rate is not high, I have no hope.

Ye Xuan wanted to show his strength on the spot so that everyone would have more confidence in him. He even stood on the stage to show his target.

Just when he was halfway there, a voice sounded.

"It's just talk, who wouldn't? I didn't see you actually doing anything, I just saw you eating, drinking and having fun."

The village chief looked at Ye Xuan who clenched his fists and immediately took a few steps to distance himself.

"Do you still remember that anonymous message before the zombies appeared? Yes, it was sent by me!"

Ye Xuan:???

"At that time, I already knew that zombies were about to appear. I even worked hard to capture a zombie as evidence, and I showed it to everyone here."

Ye Xuan:???

"It's a pity that things don't go as planned. I have worked so hard, but the outbreak of the zombie virus is still beyond my imagination. For this reason, I even organized the Village Guardian Alliance to clean up zombies for everyone!"

Ye Xuan:??...Oh, this has nothing to do with me.

"This is what I have tried to do, and I have been working silently in the dark.

Although I don’t want to speak out, now, in order to prevent traitors from taking over, I can only speak out.”

When the village chief was talking about traitors, he kept glancing at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan:???

Now Ye Xuan no longer wants to move, he just wants to hear what else this guy can say?

At this time, another voice sounded from the crowd.

Well, it can't sound exactly the same as the previous one! But... if you pinch your throat this much, that's probably it.

"It's amazing! I didn't expect that the village chief silently paid so much for us! What's the matter with a few days of rest and a few grapes? There are actually people who want to go on stage to beat the village chief!"

Ye Xuan:?...Oh, that’s right, I really want to beat the village chief.

And now I want to fight even more. If you continue like this, will I still be the village chief?

Just as Ye Xuan continued to step forward, another voice came out.

"The village chief took away all my food, and why did he do it for the villagers? I don't accept it."

Ye Xuan:(;?_?)

What else do you do?

village head:???

This really wasn’t arranged by me!

Everyone moved away from the source of the sound and saw the supermarket owner.

He mustered up the courage and stood up.

"That's what I said. He took away all my food and filled a supermarket with food. As a result, the food distributed to us every day was not even enough to eat!"

The village chief said loudly:

"This is for everyone! Nowadays, many people are short of food and drink. Taking out some food can save most people. Isn't this a good thing?

And the reason why less food is distributed is because..."

Another voice sounded from the crowd, directly interrupting the village chief. Now that everyone had experience, they immediately stayed a few meters away from her.

"He even touched me. The key is that he is not as handsome as Xiaoxuan!"

Sister Zhang stood up and looked at Ye Xuan sadly.

The village chief looked at her in shock. None of this sentence was true from beginning to end!

How can I not compare with that pretty boy?

As for the indecent assault, it’s even more nonsense. It’s been scheduled for tomorrow and it hasn’t happened yet!

The most important thing is, Sister Zhang, you are older than me, how could I possibly do it!

Hard!

The fist is hard!

Ye Xuan's fist is hard!

Are you standing up to criticize the former village chief? Or are you trying to protect him?

"Actually, I feel that Ye Xuan is more suitable to be the village chief."

The village chief looked at Uncle Shui in disbelief. It was he who said the words just now.

Why? Why do you support him so much? We have been friends for so many years!
