After entering the village, they walked for a long time without seeing any villagers. Xiaoli asked curiously, "Brother Yuan, where are the people in your village?"

"The villagers of our Mojia Village all live together in one place, at the foot of the cliff."

"Wouldn't it be a long walk every time we leave the village? Why don't we stay here?"

"We want to grow crops here, mainly because the cliff behind our house is very high, so no wild animals can get in at any time."

"The entrance to your village is so secluded, could there be any wild animals breaking in?" Xiaoli was very curious.

"Wild animals are not like humans. They can find us by just smelling something. Don't be afraid, Xiaoli. There are traps everywhere at the entrance of our village."

"I'm not afraid as long as Brother Yuan is here." Xiaoli hadn't encountered any wild animals in the two months she had been fleeing famine, so she was really not afraid.

Lu Zhitao looked back at Xiaoli and complained in his heart: Of course you are not afraid. The book describes that you and your master were torn to pieces when you encountered wild wolves!

"Don't worry, Xiaoli, Brother Yuan will definitely protect you and Miss Lu." Yuan Zhen was overjoyed to see Xiaoli trust him so much.

"Brother Yuan is so nice. Wow, there are so many people and fields in your village. The village looks so big, almost as big as a city in Nanzhao."

"Xiao Li, although we have a lot of fields in our village, we can't grow much crops. In previous years, we could only make enough to fill our stomachs."

"So many fields, but they can only fill our stomachs? Are there many people in your village?"

"It shouldn't be that many. There are only about 132 of them, young and old." Yuan Zhen, who is not a talkative person, is very patient with Xiaoli and always answers her questions.

"Is that so? If the drought continues, won't you all have to flee the famine too?"

"We won't flee from the famine. Look, Yu Wen and Yu Xuan are each pulling a large rake of wild wolves, and there's also a black bear. It's winter now, so if we save some, it'll be enough for a month."

Yuan Zhen didn't know how to tell Xiaoli that they were descendants of criminals and could not leave the village.

He didn't say it, but Lu Zhitao knew it!

According to the content of the book, the male and female protagonists entered the village of criminals. Yuan Zhen wanted to marry the female protagonist, so he used all his skills to cure the male protagonist.

While the male protagonist was recuperating, the female protagonist helped the villagers make several drinking water filters to purify the water source, and was regarded as a fairy by the villagers.

In the end, the hero and heroine promised the criminals a future, and then the promising young men in the village left the village with the hero and heroine.

The so-called good future is to gather refugees to rebel, and these young people are the ones who contribute the most.

Some young people in Mojia Village did not even leave a name for themselves until they died in battle!

She would also like to rebel, but Lu Zhitao would not say it. Anyway, Xiaoli would say it for her if it was necessary.

Xiaoli could not and did not dare to think of such a heinous thing as rebellion, but Lu Zhitao was not in a hurry, as he believed that good things would come slowly.

In her previous life, she was a person who got things done. She was ruthless and didn't talk much, and she would definitely accomplish what she wanted to do.

She and Mo Lengzhou walked side by side in front, and Mo Lengzhou didn't say anything. Zuo Yuwen and the other man needed strength to pull the rake, so they didn't say anything either.

There were six people walking together, and they heard Xiaoli and Yuanzhen in the middle talking non-stop.

"Miss Lu, I have a suggestion. When you meet the villagers later, you and our village chief can pretend to be an engaged couple, okay?"

Lu Zhitao neither agreed nor refused. She looked at Mo Lengzhou, and Mo Lengzhou was looking at her. Their eyes met, and Lu Zhitao's heart was as calm as water.

Mo Lengzhou's heartbeat suddenly quickened a little, and there seemed to be endless emotions brewing and churning in his deep eyes. Even if they were not covered by his long eyelashes, Lu Zhitao would not be able to see them.

The reason why she didn't refuse immediately was because she knew that the descendants of the criminals were very vigilant and xenophobic.

In the original book, the male and female protagonists had to pretend to be siblings in order to enter the village, and finally they subdued these criminals with their own abilities.

Ancient times were not like modern times. A woman could travel all over the motherland as long as she had money in her pocket.

It’s not like the end of the world, where as long as you have the ability, you can form a team to fight zombies and build a base at will.

There was imperial power here, and despite three years of famine, only the common people fled everywhere, and most people in the city lived quite comfortably.

The people, who were already short of food and clothing, fled in all directions because the drought resulted in a complete harvest and they could no longer survive.

But at most they only tried to find a place with water, but did not dare to force their way through the city gate.

Yuan Zhen's suggestion did not confuse Lu Zhitao for long, as his thoughts continued.

Lu Zhitao realized that this might be the best way for her to survive in this strange environment.

She looked at Mo Lengzhou's stern face again, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth seemed to be vaguely conveying a message to her that he was willing.

He is the village chief of Mojia Village. Pretending to be an engaged couple with him, she can use him to lead the villagers and to check and balance the male and female protagonists.

This was a win-win for her, but she still asked reservedly, "What do you think of Yuan Zhen's suggestion?"

"If Miss Lu doesn't mind, I have no objection." I have no objection to being a real couple, but Mo Lengzhou won't say it out loud.

"Well, then let's pretend to be an engaged couple first." Lu Zhitao said calmly.

"Well, from now on I will call you by your name, and you can call me Leng Zhou. Don't call me village chief all the time." Mo Lengzhou's voice was filled with happiness.

"Okay." Lu Zhitao responded readily, but secretly prepared herself mentally that pretending was fake.

After walking a little further, we saw smoke rising from the bottom of the cliff, mixed with the laughter of the villagers.

Lu Zhitao thought that since the villagers of Mojia Village owned so many fields, they should at least be able to grow fat and healthy.

But these villagers were as thin as bamboo poles, even more miserable than the fugitives in the Marquis' Mansion.

Because of the drought, no one in the village was busy in the fields. The men were chopping wood and the women were washing clothes by the well. It was a harmonious scene.

When they saw the village chief appear at the end of the path from afar, they quickened their pace and walked forward, staring at their village chief eagerly.

Seeing that the village chief was accompanied by a pretty woman, everyone's hearts were filled with waves of emotion, but no one dared to ask.

Lu Zhitao and Mo Lengzhou walked side by side, and the villagers who saw them were extremely respectful.

It can be seen that they all seem to have an unexpectedly high degree of loyalty to the young village chief.

Everyone just asked Yuan Zhen enthusiastically, "Doctor Yuan is really capable. He went out for a trip and actually brought his wife back!"

"Hey, hello Uncle Zuo, this is Miss Xiaoli, my fiancée. You can call her wife after we get married."

"Haha, seeing how impatient you are, I will prepare the wedding hall for you soon and enter the bridal chamber tonight." A sister-in-law laughed towards the sky.

"Wow, Yu Wen and Yu Xuan are pulling so many wild wolves? You guys are amazing!"

"Doctor Yuan and Miss Xiaoli are getting married today. Let's go prepare the banquet now."

Xiaoli asked quietly, "Brother Yuan, why didn't they say hello to the village chief?"
