Ru Yue Shu Yun Feng Wen Wan
Chapter 8 The True Truth
He Ru saw that Zhao Gang was very strong and didn't look like a refugee at all, which was suspicious.
When Zhao Gang arrived, he found an old man on night duty. The old man had also seen Yang Sangou coming to find Zhao Gang and was waiting there. "What did Yang Sangou say?" the old man asked as he pulled Zhao Gang out. "Nothing. He just saw that the He family hadn't responded, so he came to ask me what to do next." They spoke quietly.
They stopped not far away, and the old man said, "Since we can't split Hejia Village, have you tried to persuade Village Chief He?" "No, I'm afraid he will find something unusual if I go there rashly. Besides, based on his previous experience and He Zhenhai's suppression, I don't think he will agree." Zhao Gang replied, "We will arrive at Bapo Valley tomorrow. I will ask the brothers to ambush there. You will go to find Village Chief He tomorrow morning. If he doesn't agree, he must die in Bapo Valley." The old man seemed to have made up his mind long ago.
"If he doesn't agree and doesn't die tomorrow, you know the consequences. I can say anything." After the old man said this harsh word, he staggered away. From behind, he looked like an elderly grandfather.
After hearing this, He Ru still didn't understand their intentions. The only useful information she had was that there would be a battle in Bapo Valley tomorrow. They would also go to see the village chief tomorrow. She only needed to ask the village chief to know what they were going to do. He Ru believed in the village chief and believed he would make a decision that would benefit them.
Only after the two of them left did He Ru return to the tent to guard... At night, ah, the fire was about to go out, He Ru hurriedly added firewood, and did not talk to anyone until it was time for the shift change.
They have been fleeing for nearly a month and a half. There are already some starving people on the roadside. They can see refugees shivering with cold along the way. The weather this year is not like the previous years. It is just cold but there is no snow. It is said that auspicious snow means a good harvest, so it can be seen that the harvest next year will not be very good.
Along the way, the rivers were frozen, and it was extremely difficult for them to get water every time. All the men in the village had to go out to chop ice, and then distribute the water to each family. They were heading south along the river, so they didn't have to worry about running out of water along the way, but it would take a lot of time to get water every time.
And since it is winter, the nights are getting longer and the days are getting shorter, which will only affect the journey and increase the difficulty of keeping watch. There are almost no wild beasts around now, and people are guarding against people and their hearts.
When someone arrived to relieve He Ru in the middle of the night, she didn't say much. She felt like she'd been living too lazily since she'd arrived, almost becoming dependent on others. Although they were fleeing, Village Chief He was at the forefront, and the team was relatively harmonious. Furthermore, Grandpa He had arranged everything before leaving, and there was plenty of food. She was almost comfortable.
It wasn't until she heard Zhao Gang's conversation just now and thought about the scenes she had seen these days that she suddenly came to her senses. She was no longer confused. She thought, she should do something for the people here. She had to leave some traces here to prove her existence, to prove that all this was real.
She was no longer a spectator, but a participant.
It often only takes a moment and one thing for a person to awaken. No matter how big or small this thing is, as long as it leaves a mark in your heart, it is worth recording.
The next morning, He Ru went to the village chief and explained everything he had heard yesterday. He was a little surprised to see that He Ru had not come to him early in the morning to talk about the recent rumors, but then he thought that He Ru might be a decent person.
But he also attached great importance to what He Ru said, so he did not let He Ru leave but called a meeting together with the village heads and respected people. When everyone arrived, they were a little surprised to see the little girl He Ru here, but no one said anything.
Soon, He Ru spotted He Yufeng and He Yurun arriving. Seeing them standing on the periphery, she knew they were there to keep watch. Village Chief He had chosen a very secluded position, fearing alerting the enemy. After seeing them arrive, he lowered his voice and said, "I've called you here today for something important. Ru, you go ahead and tell me." Having just finished speaking, Village Chief He looked at He Ru, signaling her to speak.
After a quick greeting, he recounted the story. Everyone frowned. Village Chief He had always been a leader, and they couldn't imagine what the team would do without him. Another person, Village Chief Yang, seemed both guilty and worried. He felt guilty because Yang Sangou and Yang Daba were both from Yangjia Village, and he had accepted candy from He Yatou yesterday. He was also worried about being expelled from the team.
After realizing this, Village Chief Yang quickly apologized to everyone present and said he would expel Yang Sangou and Yang Daba from the team shortly. But his expression said, "If we expel them, we can't expel the entire village." He Ru wanted to laugh at this.
Village Chief He didn't want to see his pitiful expression and said, "Alright, Ru girl just said that their goal is to break up our team, not to expel your village from the team. I think what Yang Sangou said is definitely not a good thing, what do you think?"
Everyone responded, "We feel the same way." Their response wasn't just to please; it was genuine. Their sincerity was clear.
Seeing that they had no objections, Village Chief He said, "In that case, it's highly unlikely that I'll agree to his request. Next, we need to discuss how to deal with the Bapo Valley incident."
Everyone: "This." Obviously, they hadn't come up with any good ideas. After a few seconds, someone asked: "Can't we take a detour?"
Village Chief He replied, "That is the only way to go. There is no other choice."
"And it's not a long-term solution. As long as the two latter two families exist, we will never be able to avoid the crisis. We can't stop them from following us, since we didn't build this road." One person added.
Obviously, honest farmers don't have many bad intentions. They haven't thought of such an obvious solution because they don't have this option in their subconscious.
Village chief He sighed and said, "At this moment." The village chief paused, not to keep people in suspense, but to see if anyone could think of it. If no one could think of it, he could only ensure that nothing would happen to him, otherwise the team would be disbanded.
If someone can think of this, it proves that this person is decisive and ruthless, and is smarter than others. These are the prototypes of a leader. Because in troubled times, a leader who is too kind will not only fail to lead the team well, but may also become a disaster for the team.
