Liu Heita returned to the garrison and rectified his troops and came to Dongfang Ming's position.

The danger approached quietly, and Dongfang Ming was completely unaware of it.

Dongfang Ming followed Gensheng to Xiaopo Village, just adhering to the kindness of helping one hand and the other. He provided the dough cake and soup to Gensheng's wife, and asked to look at the plows used to plow the fields in the village. He just spontaneously wanted to understand the crux of Xiaopo Village and see if he could help these poor people in some way.

The village chief of Xiaopo Village said "recruiting strong men" and made Dongfang Ming feel full of doubts.

When he first arrived in Xiaopo Village, Dongfang Ming did nothing. He has not made any statement since the village chief came in. Why did the village chief say this?

Why do you think that Dongfang Ming, Ren Woxing and Xinli Literature and Science are here to recruit strong men?

He fell into deep thoughts and Dongfang Ming did not return to the village chief's words.

Gensheng was sandwiched between the two of them, and after seeing the village chief finishing his words, Dongfang Ming fell silent.

He thought that the village chief's words made Dongfang Ming feel offended. At this moment, Gensheng's wife brought the freshly cooked noodles soup to the table, and quickly whispered, "Village Chief, hurry up and ask everyone to come and have a bite of hot soup!"

The famine was indeed in Xiaopo Village for too long, and the villagers had not had a hot meal for a long time. They had to share with their families if they found some food, and they didn't dare to finish them all.

I can only eat a little to barely maintain the functioning of my body. Save the food as much as possible to deal with famine that will not know when it will end and hopeless government assistance.

Food, especially hot food, is unquestionable for this group of people who have been tortured by famine for too long.

The noodle cakes brought by Dongfang Ming are made of dry food made of good rice noodles. Even if they are cooked into soup, they cannot hide the fragrance that comes to your nose.

Every household heard that Gensheng had something to eat, and they brought their families to come together.

Gensheng's wife brought the hot soup, and the villagers' eyes stuck to the soup, and their eyes turned green. They all rushed up to surround Gensheng's wife in the middle.

At this time, we can see the feelings between the villagers in Xiaopo Village. Although they were tortured by hunger and could no longer control themselves and surrounded Gensheng's wife. However, they were not tempted by food and lost their minds, but instead suppressed themselves and waited for Gensheng's wife to scoop out the hot soup one by one.

When the villagers held the hot soup in their hands, they did not drink it into their mouths and filled their stomachs as soon as possible. Instead, they found the elderly or young children who were not good at home, and carefully fed the old and young people, and then took the next bowl of noodle soup.

The hot soup that just came out of the pot was amazingly hot, and it was very hot in hand. They seemed to be unconscious and swallowed the soup and the bread.

Dongfang Ming saw all this and silently praised it in his heart, knowing that this action was worth it.

The long-lost food and hot soup filled the stomach made these villagers sigh with satisfaction.

Gensheng and the village chief waited for all the villagers to drink a bowl of noodle soup before taking a bowl of Gensheng's wife.

The village chief held a bowl in his hand, looked at the thoughtful Dongfang Ming and kept licking his dry mouth.

The aroma of the noodle soup was so tempting that the village chief could not control the soup in the end.

Seeing that everyone had eaten, Dongfang Ming asked, "Village Chief, what do you mean by recruiting strong men? Why do you think we are here to recruit strong men when you see us?"

The village chief slowed down and said, "Didn't my benefactor come to our village to recruit strong men?"

Gensheng sat aside and couldn't help but interrupt, "Village Chief, you misunderstood! We are here..."

Gensheng stopped, blushed and scratched his head and said, "It was we who were robbed on the road! My benefactor ignored his past grudges and did not care about our offense. He also said that he could help us and help Xiaopo Village solve the famine, so I brought them back."

"So that's the case. That's why I misunderstood my benefactor! My benefactor is worried about my benefactor." The village chief stood up from the stool, bent his knees and wanted to kneel down to apologize to Dongfang Ming.

Dongfang Ming grabbed the village chief with quick eyes and hands.

Just kidding, the village chief’s hair and beard are all white, and he looks quite old. Dongfang Ming has no courage to let the old man kneel down to him.

"It's okay! The village chief doesn't need to worry about it. I just want to know what the village chief meant when recruiting strong men? Has anyone come to the village to recruit strong men before?" Compared to the insignificant misunderstanding, Dongfang Ming cared more about the "finding strong men" in the village chief.

Lenovo Xiaopo Village is located on Li Erlang's territory, and it has been famine for a long time but no one from the government has paid attention to it. Dongfang Ming always feels that this may have something to do with Li Erlang.

"Our place has a spring drought all year round. Before, we would report to the county government, and people would always send some food to help us.

Since the previous few years, the county government has issued a notice of recruitment for many years. You have also seen that there are not many people in our Xiaopo Village. Every time we issue a conscription order, we force us to report at least ten strong men.

Over the years, there were not many young and strong people left in our village. The ones who were left were basically elderly people who could not walk or hungry children. None of the strong men who were sent to the battlefield came back.

Last year, people came to recruit young men from the county government office, and only the strong men in our village were left. They were the ones you saw, benefactor. Gensheng and others were unwilling to leave the village, and we really could not send them away. If they left, there would be no labor force to harvest the crops in the village.

Look at the old arms and legs in this room, how many people can do farm work day and night?

The old man could only bite the bullet and refuse the request for recruitment in the government office, and the yamen runner left with a dark face.

Then this year, there was another spring drought, and the seeds could not be planted. Even if they could barely plant and sprout, they would not live long. As usual, we asked the government office for assistance. Who knew how many times we had spread the news, but the county office had no reaction at all.

In previous years, the government would also issue some relief grains. Although the amount was not large, we could survive the spring drought. This year we had no food and could not grow crops in the fields. Our village had no other way to make a living except for growing grain. After eating and saving grain, we could only stay at home and wait for death.”

The village chief talked about the matter in a nagging way, and in the end, he was even more horrible. He worked diligently for Xiaopo Village all his life, and the village was the villagers who lived with him day and night. In order to make the villagers live a better life, he did not know how many times he humbly begged the people of the county government to distribute relief grains.

The lackeys in the county government are like having no heart. As long as Xiaopo Village is not as good as the young and strong, they will not distribute relief grain to Xiaopo Village in the future.

The village chief still remembers how he stood at the entrance of the county government office to ask for food. How ruthlessly the soap clerks refused his plea and turned to other townships and village people were extremely flattering.
