The village elder and the benefactor turned out to be an old fritter...

Knowing the temperament of this little nun, I went directly to the topic without any ink.

The main reason is that they really haven't found a water source. Now that there is a water source, it means there is life. Which is more important, money or life?

Is there any need to think too much about this?

The village chief continued, "I'm going to prepare the protection money right away. I'll miss you and wait a moment."

Listen, what a clever person the village elder, the donor, is?

Take the initiative to say that this is protection money.

But at the same time, have you noticed another meaning of the old cunning village chief?

He said that he would hurry up and prepare...

Without asking the little nun how much protection money she needed, she ran away quickly.

This is because she is afraid of asking a price!

The village chief will come back soon and tell the villagers about the water in the deep forest.

Many villagers agreed immediately.

In fact, they have confirmed that there is no water nearby, and the deep forest is their only source of life now.

Every household raises money again.

But it is true that they have made preparations several times before. Although they have money now, they don't have much money.

Moreover, most of the current money was earned from selling baskets a few days ago.

The total funds prepared were less than 5 taels of silver.

Considering the current situation of the villagers, this is quite a lot.

The village chief came to the little nun again with a heavy sum of more than 4 taels of money. He did not hand the money to the little nun first, but asked first.

"Xiao Nian, when do you think we will go into the deep forest to get water?"

The little nun quietly glanced at the purse in his hand.

The village elders and donors are getting smarter and smarter, and now they all know how to put money in their wallets.

In this way, she doesn't know how much money is in it!

That will make it easier to agree!

But let her see if that spicy purse is bulging?

Oh, it's a bit flat...

Then she had to take the initiative and ask, "How much money will the village elder and the donor prepare to hire us?"

The word "hire" is a good one.

It was a vocabulary she learned when she was in the government office.

The village chief did not expect that he would not escape this disaster, so he handed the purse to the little nun angrily, "It's all here."

The previous few times when the village chief asked the little nun to protect him, it was actually more than 5 taels of money, but those times he faced refugees.

No matter how scary the refugees are, they still know they will die.

Li Hu took out a big knife to scare them a few times, but they didn't dare to come forward.

But what we have to face today is a wild beast.

These beasts are desperate!

The village chief was afraid that Hua Xiaonian would be dissatisfied with the lack of money, so a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his head was spinning...

Think about how to say something to persuade her.

How about telling the truth, everyone actually doesn’t have much money, and this is the most that can be raised?

But what if the little nun doesn’t agree?

Well, even if she didn't agree, there was really nothing he could do.

The village chief thought deeply and finally decided to tell Hua Xiaonian truthfully about their current situation.

At the same time, play the emotional card with her!

Before the village chief could speak, the little nun spoke first.

"oh..."

The little nun opened her mouth after looking at the money in her purse and said "Oh..."

The village elder, Don Zhuodun, was frightened by her.

My heart suddenly rose to my throat, fearing that she would say, "No!"

As a result, she actually said, "Let's go."

The village elder, the donor, was really stunned for a long time and didn't react. What did she mean by "let's go"?

My brain is a bit stuck!

Li Hu and others were called over, but they saw the village chief still standing there like a log, and they shouted at him.

Only then did the village chief react.

He quickly agreed and went to summon the villagers.

It is very dangerous to go into the deep forest this time, so the female relatives are not allowed to go.

The men also selected a few strong men to pull the bullock cart forward.

Before setting off, each household would put their own water bottle on the bullock cart and pull it back together.

At the same time, the village chief borrowed a bullock cart from Hua Xiaonian, found a few large wooden barrels that could hold water, and pulled an extra cart.

The team entering the deep forest was quickly organized.

The younger brothers who were traveling with him included Li Hu, Lin Han and others.

Originally, Niu Yuelan didn't want Lin Han to go, but many villagers wanted to go, and Lin Han kept comforting Niu Yuelan...

He said that he has great martial arts skills and that his boss is here.

He'll be fine!

Only then did Niu Yuelan let him go!

Chu Zhaoci and Shao Jingheng also learned about the news here, but they were not on the list of people entering the deep forest.

The two of them came over to take a look.

However, don't think that they want to go too.

There was no idea at all, they just came to take a look.

After watching the little nun and others leave, they went back.

Oh, that is to say, Chu Zhaoci could watch him off. Shao Jingheng asked Chu Zhaoci from the side, "Everyone is gone?"

Chu Zhaoci patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go!"

By coincidence, Hua Yunrou happened to be right next to them. As soon as the two turned around to go back, Chu Zhaoci faced her.

Hua Yunrou happened to look over.

To be honest, she just saw Chu Zhaoci and Shao Jingheng coming over and looked at them.

There is no other meaning.

But by chance, he met Chu Zhaoci's eyes.

Chu Zhaoci suddenly stopped in his tracks, and Hua Yunrou was also slightly stunned.

The two looked at each other for a moment...

Fortunately, Hua Yunrou reacted quickly and was the first to come to her senses, avert her gaze and run away quickly.

Only then did Chu Zhaoci look away.

I have an indescribable feeling in my heart, it's very complicated.

Shao Jingheng couldn't see what they had just done, but he could feel that Chu Zhaoci's aura was uneven.

This makes people even more daydream.

Fortunately, Shao Jingheng is not a gossip, he just knew and didn't ask any questions.

at the same time.

The little nun and others have entered the woods.

The deep forest is more than ten miles away from the outer forest, and it took a few people only half an hour to reach the deep forest.

As soon as we arrived in the deep forest, we heard the faint sound of birds chirping.
