Chapter 678: Jealousy is the original sin
Zhuifeng looked at the bombing chicken with a serious expression and immediately asked, "What are the villagers discussing?"
"They are discussing whether to send people to the nearest escort to inform us, thinking that we might be fugitives or something. But some people are afraid that what we are saying is true, and are worried that this move will bring the tyrant's minions, causing trouble and causing the whole village to be uneasy. Now the two sides are arguing with each other and each other is in their own opinion, and no one can convince anyone."
Zhuifeng's eyelids twitched wildly, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Grandma, I thought the villages and tribes on the plateau were simple, but I didn't expect that these thick eyebrows and big eyes actually wanted to betray them for rewards.
Zhuifeng thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, you continue to monitor them and see the results of their discussion behind their backs. On the contrary, we will still follow the established plan. It is normal for them to have doubts. We must insist on our beliefs to influence them."
After Zhuifeng said that, he suddenly scratched his head: "Although it sounds like a Virgin, our plan is to surround the city in the countryside, and sparks can set off a prairie fire. It is naturally difficult to start, but everything is difficult to start. With the first one, there will be a second one. When this craze starts, it will be difficult to extinguish it."
Everyone's enthusiasm was quickly mobilized, and the bombing chicken continued to use the "Eye of the Beast" skill, controlling a crow of bad luck to fly out of the courtyard, return to the place where the village gathered, and quietly landed on the treetops to monitor the content they discussed.
This doomed crow is the reward for the bombing chicken to win the first place in the Druid profession in the player's professional league. In the mixed battle, the bombing chicken ranked among the top five, which greatly increased the face for the Yueying Council. The elders also decided to upgrade the bombing chicken to a special elite.
The so-called special elite is simply half a level higher than the normal elite. The advantage is that the elders are personally guided and trained and participate in the daily affairs of some Yueying Council sects. In other words, it is "preparing elders". The entire process is based on the elder standards and specifications, and the things that take over are also handled by the elders in the future.
Everyone just wiped their clothes at will, mainly to wipe their bodies clean from dirt, and then returned to the village entrance.
After the players came back, the people who were discussing fiercely just now were gone and looked like nothing happened.
"Yeah, you'll pack up so quickly." The old village chief looked quite surprised.
But now the player's heart is as bright as a mirror, and he can't help but curse the old fox.
"Then let's start working now!" Zhuifeng seemed very anxious, and his eyes urgently revealed the meaning of wanting to "eat".
The old village chief did not doubt that he was there and greeted several young men and said, "You can bring these young men over to help transport indigo potatoes into the cellar."
Several people were taken to the cellar by the villagers. Without saying a word, each of them carried a sack of indigo potatoes and carried them into the cellar.
Although they wanted to learn more about the situation of the village or Sleving Star, they were worried that they would make many mistakes, so they all shut up and concentrate on their work.
Although the players suppressed their curiosity and did not ask questions, these young people were obviously not the restless ones. After a while, they became familiar with the players and began to chat with them every question or another. However, the topics were basically about their escape and sacrifice.
Players are inconvenient to say more on the surface, but in fact they are secretly happy.
Everything is moving towards the preset direction of Zhuifeng. These villagers are still curious about the live sacrifice incidents along the coast and can't help but start asking. Fortunately, Zhuifeng in the courtyard had already discussed "confessions" with others, and had a consistent and complete description of the live sacrifice.
The task given by Link only said that he believed in cults and exchanged his life for eternity with the lives of the people and slaves. He only said a few words. However, with the expansion of the wind, various details of the live sacrifice were revealed in the slightest, as if the incident happened not long ago. He peeled and bleeded, and used the cult magic array to suck away a person's vitality, and finally turned into a pool of rotten flesh and blood.
The cellar was already gloomy and dark, and the thrilling feeling in the tone of the players, the young men turned pale, their lips trembled, and their bodies were trembling.
Everyone looked at the scary expressions of the young men and wanted to laugh. They couldn't help it. In order to prevent the smile from becoming more and more distorted, several local NPCs mistakenly thought that they were recalling the sadness at that time, and couldn't help but apologize.
The indigo potatoes piled up like hills were quickly transported to the cellar, and the players also got the food to fill their stomachs - it was the indigo potato they just transported. The players packed the indigo potato with joy, and their faces were filled with laughter. This is a good thing that can restore energy value, and it is simply a profit to earn it openly. This is not only food, but also a "strategic material" to restore energy value to them.
When several young people saw that the players were so happy to eat, their expressions on their faces did not seem to be fake, and they had much less suspicion about them.
"Okay, today's work is finished, you can go back and rest, hurry up and have a little bit of food. I will come to you tomorrow morning and take you to do other things." said the young man Cicel, who was led.
"Okay, we'll be waiting for you in the yard tomorrow morning." After saying goodbye to Cicel, Zhuifeng took the players back to the yard happily.
Zhuifeng and the others focused on bombing chickens: "Brother Chicken, it's time to test our results today."
The bombing chicken heart understood and used the Eye of the Beast to switch to the perspective of the pet Doom Crow, and controlled the Doom Crow to fly high in the village. It quickly locked in the Cicere and his party who were returning to report.
On the way, the bombing chicken even heard discussions about them by Cicell and others.
"Ah, I had doubted the authenticity of this incident before. After spending most of the day with them, I saw them talking about sad past and their faces couldn't help but twitch and spasm. This was clearly the manifestation of over-suffering sadness. Alas, I had known that I wouldn't have asked so many questions at that time. They fled along the way and were asked by us how uncomfortable they should be when they recalled the tragic past..."
"So too! I originally thought this was not very credible. But when I sent the indigo to them, their faces were unconcealed with excitement and happiness. Some people even couldn't bear to eat it. They carefully slapped off the mud on the indigo and stuffed it into their pockets. This was definitely not something that could be filled."
"By the way, Cicele, do you think what will happen after we go back to report to the village chief? A large number of people have opinions about these outsiders and even consider escorting them to the nearby escort."
The black-haired man named Cicele paused and said, "Just report it truthfully. The village chief must have his own considerations. But in terms of my personal feelings, I think what they said is true. And have you forgotten how our ancestors went to Gaoling to build a village? Isn't it because the previous ruler was tyrannical and to avoid corvee to build a village. It's only thirty years since I forgot about this?"
"I guess some people think that life in the mountains is too difficult, and they yearn for the wealthy situation at the foot of the mountains."
"Or he still has a little longing for the new king, and he thinks that he can rely on escorting these people to atone for their sins and get the chance to go down the mountain."
While several people discussed, they returned to the gathering compound in the village.
At this time, the village chief, some veterans in the village, as well as the backbone representatives of middle-aged young people, were discussing the solution to the problem of the invaders.
The two sides still had their previous views and could not argue.
Just as the villagers were arguing over how to deal with the six escapees, Cicerey returned with his men.
"Okay, stop arguing, listen to Cicel talk about the situation." The village chief picked up the teacup and moistened his mouth, and the people in the ancestral hall immediately became quiet.
Cicel told the things that came out of the players' mouths today and the performances of the players, supplemented by the contents that others have trapped, forming a relatively complete story and information.
The people who were still arguing just now suddenly had nothing to say. Because from Cicele's words, they heard that this incident was most likely true.
But just as he was silent, a young man suddenly stood up and asked, "Cisel, are you talking about the indigo potatoes at the entrance of the cellar? You four plus six of them, and ten people will finish the work within an afternoon, right?"
Cicere frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking, "Levi, you have something to say."
A young man named Levi had a smile on his lips: "If it were young and strong in the village, these indigo potatoes would have to be finished in one afternoon. And they traveled a long distance without eating but just a short rest, and could move things with you. It seems that these people are in good health!"
After Levi said that, he clasped his fists to face the old village chief: "Village Chief, although these people made up the story and had superb acting skills, they had been exposed in their behavior. I would rather investigate a few people strictly and not cause fire to our village because of these people. If we inform the escort first, we may be able to atone for our sins and go down the mountain again in our lifetime. But if we cover up a few people and wait for the escort to come to us, we are a party, a remnant, and will implicate the entire village! In this matter, we cannot be a woman's kindness!"
"Levi, although I admit your observation, your point of view is still too radical. It is too arbitrary to conclude that they are not good based on this point. Perhaps they are also worried that we will betray and reserve them? Anyway, according to their statement, they do not intend to stay for a long time. They only need to work for a few days to exchange for food, and they will leave after they save enough food. We need labor, they need food, and they each take their needs. After leaving, they will just act like nothing has happened?" Cicerez retorted.
The two of them made everyone in the ancestral hall nod.
The views of these two people are basically the reason why people argue today. Whether it is Cicel or Levi, they are both young people and leaders in the village who are highly anticipated. Cicel is hospitality, sincere and kind, with a personality and leadership style; Levi is vicious, active in his mind, and good at making suggestions.
The old village chief is old and will soon lift the burden. The important task of leading the village is to be handed over to one of these two young people.
The old village chief looked at Levi, who was full of eagerness in his eyes, and then looked at Cicerey, who looked at the clear eyes, and said, "Don't rush to make a decision so quickly and observe for two more days. If they really flee, they will leave after earning enough food, and we will think nothing happened. If they pretend, they will definitely reveal their fox tails, and then we will arrest them and question them for their purpose."
"As for what Levi said, "Traveling to the escort, remember why we old bones hid up the mountain to build a village. I don't want to hear it again by sending these people to atone for their sins and descending to the mountain." The old village chief stared at Levi with serious eyes.
Levi lowered his head, his skin burned red, and gritted his teeth and squeezed out: "Yes!"
Although the old village chief did not say it clearly, from the decision he made, the person he supported was Cicer.
"Okay, let's go!" The old village chief stood up, patted his shoulder when passing by Levi, and sighed, "I'll ask Cicele more in the future. You must think twice before you make a decision."
Levi's face turned pale and lost his blood. This sentence was like a verdict on him.
The moment the village chief passed by, Levi lowered his head and his dissipated eyes suddenly became sharp and his fists were clenched.
At this time, Cicele also walked to Levi, and was about to pat the other person on the shoulder to comfort him, but he didn't expect that Levi was quick to hide from him. He looked up and his eyes were blood-red and ferocious: "You don't need to be so hypocritical!"
Cicele was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Levi's eyes were so fierce, which scared him.
When it dissipated from the ancestral hall, the night became darker.
The crow above the eaves of the ancestral hall waved its wings and disappeared into the night without everyone paying attention.
In the abandoned courtyard, the bombarded chicken told Zhuifeng and everyone about the news he had just heard. Everyone couldn't help but pinched their fists and thankfully, the first level was finally passed. Although there was a dispute, the old village chief made the final decision, which was to allow them to continue to stay in the village.
"Next, everyone must be very careful and never show off their strengths, otherwise all their efforts will be wasted." Zhuifeng suggested.
"In addition, after it was late at night, Bo Feiji and I went to the cave outside the village to get the liaison machine and report to the top about our situation."
Things are moving in a direction that is beneficial to the players, and everyone feels that they have a bright future.
At the same time, in a forest in the village.
Levi's face was gloomy, and the temperature seemed to freeze everything around him.
"It's so annoying. The village chief has always favored Cicel so partial. Today, he even suppressed you in front of everyone. Isn't this explicit plan to let Cicel succeed to the next village chief?"
"If Cicele takes over as village chief, we will definitely not be valued. This guy always feels that we are too extreme and will not give us important positions."
"There are many resources at the foot of the mountain. We have been guarding the mountain for more than 30 years. Do we want our descendants to continue to stay in such a place?"
"Brother, you can't sit still and wait for death. What do you think you will do? We will all follow you!"
Levi's eyes flashed, and after a while, he said slowly: "It's a good thing for these people to stay in the village. We might as well take advantage of this time to go directly to the escort and reveal the news about the people..."
"What if the escorts talk about our crime of sheltering?"
Levi smiled evilly: "Aren't the person who covers up the fugitives Lao Buddy and Cicere? We have made contributions to the report and should be rewarded!"
"It's amazing!"
Chapter completed!
