Although the village chief didn't say his words directly, Yun Luo immediately understood what he meant.
"Village Chief, that's not what you said."
Yun Luo said in a cold voice: "It has already happened, and there is no point in investigating the cause now. What's more, even if these old people have selfish motives, they are not out of malice. The legs grow on you, and it is up to you to decide whether to leave or not.
decision, it is not anyone’s sole responsibility that this happened.”
The village chief's face froze and he couldn't help but argue: "I already said that the matter was serious, but these old people couldn't listen at all..."
"They can't listen, are they planning to stay and seek death?"
Yun Luo raised his eyebrows and interrupted him.
The village chief couldn't help but choked, "Of course not..."
"They are just selfish and only think about their own family. Who care about the lives of other people in the village?"
Beside, a man with red and swollen eyes suddenly interrupted.
These words seemed to arouse the resentment of all the surviving villagers, and everyone immediately started talking to each other.
"Yes, they just think about their own families."
"They didn't even think about other people's lives!"
"If they hadn't made trouble, our whole family would have gone to the city to seek refuge. How could we end up like this?"
"It's all because of them that the village is like this!"
The more Tantai Yao listened, the more confused she became. She couldn't help but said, "Isn't it too much for you to say that? The old man didn't mean any harm, they just couldn't bear to part with the crops..."
"They just feel sorry for the crops, don't we feel sorry for them?" A woman in her thirties in the crowd retorted sharply.
Tantai Yao suddenly choked.
Others were even more angry after hearing this.
"Yes, they are not the only ones who grow crops at home. Who in every household does not live off crops?"
"Everyone knows that monsters will eat people when they come. The sooner we enter the city, the safer it will be. Everyone else in the village is willing to leave, but they are not willing, and they even brought people to stop us from leaving!"
"Are they satisfied now? The crops are gone, the village is gone, and our family members all died in the mouth of the monster!"
"It's all their fault! They all deserve to pay with their lives!"
"Pay for the lives of my whole family!!"
Seeing that the villagers became more and more excited as they talked, their eyes full of hatred were like red-hot knives, stabbing the two old people hard.
The old man, who was protected by his family, lowered his head, said nothing, and burst into tears.
The other old man, with an expression as if he was numb, was sitting on the ground blankly, with deep pinch marks still left on his neck.
"Don't be like this, they didn't do it on purpose. The monster attack was an accident. No one expected this to happen..." Tantai Yao tried to calm everyone down.
But after all, she is not from Weishan Village and does not know the situation very well.
Instead of appeasing the villagers, what he said seemed to add fuel to the fire.
"Little girl, you don't know anything, so stop trying to persuade me." The village chief sighed helplessly.
"Those old people who made a fuss and refused to leave were the ones with a relatively large population in the village. The whole family relied on the crops in the fields to make a living. They refused to leave because they were worried that the crops would be destroyed and the family would have a hard time.
."
"Isn't this a normal thought?"
Tantai Yao said in confusion: "Isn't this the case with other people in the village?"
The destruction of crops is not just a matter of one or two families, it affects the whole village, and every household suffers losses.
