The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Chapter 406 Do You Want to Drink the Northwest Wind?

No matter how serious the situation outside was, at this moment, in various places in Anning Village, one could see groups of people busy working as usual.

If you get closer, you can hear people complaining, saying that the village head is making a fuss about every household only being able to work half a day, and that the grass in the fields is so tall that the seedlings are bullied by the weeds. If they can't harvest the crops in the fall, the farmers will be the ones who will starve.

As they were talking, they saw Chu Xiao and Yan Zhenshen heading towards the village. Someone kindly reminded them that most of the people in the patrol team had gone to the fields, and asked them to go and work on their own fields and not go to the village anymore.

Yan Zhenshen responded, but did not stop, nor did he intend to chat with anyone more.

After entering the village, Chu Xiao and Yan Zhenshen first walked around the village. The doors of most houses were open, and the sound of children playing could be heard inside.

It seems that the villagers are not that confused. They work in the fields to make a living, but they also instruct their children not to run around.

When passing by a house at the west end of the village, Chu Xiao looked at the tightly closed door and frowned slightly: "Whose house is this?"

Although Chu Xiao still has some memories of Chu Xiaoxiao, he would only recall them carefully when he first came to this world in order to adapt to the environment here more quickly.

Later on, he had completely abandoned the identity of Chu Xiaoxiao, and his style of doing things was completely different, so naturally he no longer needed Chu Xiaoxiao's memories.

If you don't think about it for a long time, you will naturally forget most of the things that are not particularly profound. He seldom comes to the village often, and even if he does, he can only meet a few people.

So if the villagers saw him, they could recognize most of him, but he had no idea which family lived where.

"The families over here are all Zhang family members." Yan Zhenshen pointed to the first family in the west of the village and said, "Except for that family, all the families in this row are surnamed Zhang."

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang family is a big family in Anning Village. About 30 to 40 percent of the people in Anning Village are surnamed Zhang. Even the village chief's wife is from the Zhang family.

Otherwise, even if the village chief is a student, he cannot become the village chief if the Zhang family members do not agree.

This is how it is in the village. Many things are difficult to handle due to family connections, so the village chief's style of doing things has always been to play it safe. Unless it is a matter of life and death, he is mostly unwilling to step forward.

Yan Zhenshen could understand this. After all, when he was a child, he had seen too many cases in the village where each person had his own reasons. If the village chief did not try to smooth things over, after a while, when everyone had spoken out, the village chief would be the one in charge and neither side would be a big player.

Well, even if the village chief tries to smooth things over, he still has no prestige in the village and no one takes him seriously.

The village chief, who no one takes seriously, is now very angry at home. Not only do everyone go to work in the fields, but his two disobedient sons actually follow the crowd and turn a deaf ear to his words as both the village chief and his father.

Before he could get angry, his wife spoke up for the two brats and ridiculed him, saying that no matter what they had to eat in the winter, they would have to starve to death.

What's the point of letting your son grow up and have his own ideas about things? You should just let him accept his age. If your son doesn't have a good life, no one will even carry his coffin when he gets old.

The more he spoke, the more outrageous it became. The village chief was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Even if I'm not the father, I'm still the village chief. They shouldn't listen to what I say."

This time, the village chief's wife didn't say anything. She just picked up the hoe on the wall and prepared to go out.

The village chief was so angry that his eyes almost popped out: "Where are you going?"

"Go weed the fields. You are the village chief and you can eat nothing but the northwest wind. We ordinary people need food to survive. How can we get food if we don't take care of the land?"

The village chief's wife rolled her eyes at him and went to get the basket again: "This village has been quiet for so many days, and the road has been cut off. If you are worried, just stay at home by yourself, but don't try to stop me from going hungry with you."

As they were arguing, there was a sudden knock on the door. The village chief responded unhappily: "Who are you? If you want to go to the fields, go ahead. Do whatever you want. I won't stop you."

When Chu Xiao heard the noise, he knew that the village chief was obviously very angry. He chuckled and shouted, "Village chief, it's me, Brother Xiao. Brother Shen and I came here to talk to you about something."

When the village chief heard that Xiao Ge'er and Yan Zhenshen were coming, he inexplicably felt more confident. He quickly pushed away his wife who was blocking him and walked quickly to open the door.

The village head's wife, who was pushed and staggered, glared at him again in annoyance, but still put down the hoe and hurried into the house to pour water.

"Come in quickly." The village chief invited the person in and asked directly, "What's the matter?"

Chu Xiao sat on a low stool under the eaves, motioning for Yan Zhenshen to speak. Although the word had spread throughout the village that he, Chu Xiao, was the head of the Yan family, he still had to give face to his man. If he took the lead in everything, wouldn't his brother Shen really be a gigolo?

"Village head, my husband and I walked around the village. Most of the villagers have gone to work, but the doors of the Zhang family in the west of the village are closed. Have you asked what's going on?"

"Ah, I have never been to the west of the village." The village chief smiled embarrassedly. In fact, not only had he not been to the west of the village, he had hardly gone out for a while. Anyway, there were patrol teams watching the village, so if anything happened, someone would come and tell him.

If the villagers had not suddenly caused such a commotion, he would have been eating and drinking well at home every day and living a very comfortable life. If no one mentioned the epidemic, he would have felt that he was living the life of an old man.

Unfortunately, reality and imagination are different after all. When Yan Zhenshen mentioned the west of the village, he felt something was wrong: "If I remember correctly, those families in the west of the village should be the ones who went to the river to salvage things."

As he said this, the village chief went to look for a list that the yamen runner had copied down after checking every household.

"Oh, that's right. Zhang Laosan, Zhang Dazhu, Zhang Ercheng and Zhang Pingan all followed Gu Dabo to fish in the river."

"Everyone is busy going to the fields right now, but a few families are staying indoors. I always feel that there is something wrong. Village chief, why don't you take a few people to take a look."

Chu Xiao briefly explained to the village chief the possibility that Qiao Qingyun had mentioned before. This one in ten possibility made the village chief so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

His entire family lives in the village. If that really happens, his family would probably be cut off from the incense.

"Since the villagers don't want to close their doors, we should check every household. If there is nothing wrong, that's good. We can all put our minds at ease and get back to work on the farm."

Land is the foundation of farmers' livelihood. Nowadays, most people have gone to the fields. It is impossible for them to come back without finishing all the work. Instead of making things difficult for the village chief, it is better to check it out first.
