Chen Guodong felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His outstretched hand was hanging in the air. He forced out a smile and said in a slightly trembling voice: "You're so good, why are you leaving? Is it because you have any objections to the distribution of the previous prey?"
If we have any opinions, we can talk about it, right?"
Anyone could hear that he was panicking.
The woman held the little boy in her arms and looked at the scene in front of her in panic. Her mind went blank and she even forgot what she wanted to say to save him.
Chen Fan was also shocked.
He remembered what Uncle Zhang had said before that the Wei brothers would not stay for long. Who would have thought that it would come true so soon?
"Brother Guodong, it's not what you think."
A man who looked somewhat similar to Wei Tiangong but was 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 have no objection to Brother Guodong. It was you who inspired everyone to dig deep into the barriers and repel the ferocious beasts."
"Yeah, yeah."
The two people behind the two brothers also nodded sharply.
"Then, why are you leaving?"
Chen Guodong broke into cold sweat on his forehead.
There were not many adult men in the village, but four of them had to leave this time, and the two brothers from the Wei family were among them. Once they left, the already poor village would become even worse.
Chen Fan's heart was also in his throat.
Of course, he doesn't want these people to leave either.
Wei Tianyuan glanced at his brother, who nodded slightly.
"Brother Guodong, then I will tell you the truth. Don't be angry."
"How could it be?"
Chen Guodong forced a smile and said.
What he fears most is the choice made after weighing the pros and cons, because it means that he cannot save it.
Wei Tianyuan took a deep breath, looked at Chen Guodong and said, "Because there is no hope if we stay here."
After saying this sentence, 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. The adult men are less than twenty. Counting a few young boys, the rest are old, weak, women and children. With so many mouths, just a few of us are...
It’s hard to make a living.”
"Yes, it is very difficult," Chen Guodong opened his mouth, "But we have persisted until today, haven't we? We can continue to persist."
"What about us?"
At this time, Wei Tiangong spoke.
His eyes were extremely calm, "The Zhao brothers from Zhaojiabao, like us, could only shoot 100-pound hunting bows in the past few years. But in the past few years, with enough ferocious beast meat, they have reached the martial arts level."
In the late stage of body tempering, we can draw a three hundred kilogram hard bow. If we have enough food, we can also do it."
Chen Guodong was speechless and ashamed.
Yes, every time the hunting team catches prey, most of it is due to the Wei brothers. As a result, every time they come back, they can only get a small part.
"Guodong."
As if realizing that he had spoken too harshly, Wei Tiangong sighed and said in a slightly calmer tone: "Listen to my advice, there is no hope of staying here anymore. Why not come with us to Zhaojiabao, where not only is there a lot of food, but also
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, only with strength can you survive."
"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 have a clear conscience.
Now, they should live for themselves and become stronger so that their families 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 said with a smile in his tears: "I understand, Tiangong, going to Zhaojiapu is indeed the best choice. How could I blame you? All along, if you hadn't been
If we pay silently, the village will not last until today."
Hearing this, Wei Tiangong and others breathed a sigh of relief.
However, I also feel a little guilty in my heart.
"Brother Guodong, aren't you coming with us?" Wei Tianyuan came to his senses and asked hurriedly.
"No."
Chen Guodong smiled slightly, looked at the house not far away, and said: "Before the village was established, I promised everyone that I would take them to live together. It can be said that this village is the result of everyone's joint efforts.
No one can build it.
Now, many of them are no longer here, like Ah Quan, Da Fei, Zhu Zhu and the others, but their families are still there, and I cannot abandon them."
After the words fell, there was deathly silence all around, and the eyes of the men present were all red.
Wei Tiangong took a deep breath, his eyes turned red. He reached out and patted the former's shoulder, "Brother Guodong, take care."
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Fan and others, turned around and left resolutely.
"Brother Guodong, I'm sorry."
Wei Tianyuan bowed and followed quickly.
"Brother Guodong, we are leaving, take care!"
"Take care."
The other two people looked at him reluctantly, turned and left.
Following several figures, they completely disappeared into the dark night, and even the footsteps could not be heard clearly.
Chen Fan looked at his father, standing there as if he was petrified, with tears rolling in his eyes.
"Alas."
He sighed inwardly.
Although he cannot empathize with her, he can still understand the complex emotions in the latter's heart.
Of course, the most important thing is that the situation in the village has become even worse.
You must raise the level of [Basic Archery] as soon as possible!
"Let's eat first, Guodong."
The woman said with a pale face.
Chen Guodong turned a deaf ear and nodded after a long while.
Although the dinner was called "lavish", the atmosphere at the dinner table was terrifyingly quiet.
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, please eat more."
"Yeah."
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. The little boy standing by looked at him and his mouth was watering.
There are only two pieces in his bowl, which is obvious at a glance.
"Dad, you'd better eat more."
Chen Fan was a little flattered and hurriedly took the meat back.
The other party is the backbone of the family, not to mention that once the Wei brothers leave tomorrow, hunting will be even more difficult.
"You can eat, I have no appetite."
Chen Guodong smiled slightly.
When Chen Fan saw this, he remained silent.
The aroma of the meat in the bowl filled his nostrils. He finally couldn't help it. He took a piece and put it in his mouth to chew. He felt that the aroma was overflowing between his lips and teeth. The meat was just cooked and sprinkled with a little salt, but it was delicious.
It has to be able to make people swallow it.
At this moment, a piece of information came to mind.
