Master Bai sneered and said, "The village chief of Linjia Village is really audacious. If the grain is really in his hands, we will be like fish on a chopping board, at his mercy."

The head of Wangjia Village also said loudly: "What the head of Linjia Village said makes sense. I think this is how we should manage."

The villagers whispered, "How can we really manage this? My family has food, but your family doesn't. So, do I have to give you my food?"

"Ha! Only if we all work together can we get through this difficult time. Anyway, I think this is a good idea."

"That's because you don't have any food. Would you agree if you had food? I wouldn't agree anyway."

The situation of each family in the village is different. Some families have several bags of food, while others have no food at all.

Mrs. Lin said loudly: "Yes, I think what the village chief said makes sense. We are all from the same village, so we should put our food together."

"Heh! Then why didn't your family give the food to the village before? Do you think it's fun to say such sarcastic words now?"

"Isn't it? I won't be fooled by it. I don't want to."

The Lin family village chief looked at them coldly and said:

"It's okay if you don't want to, since you are unwilling to hand over the food in your hands.

But I will no longer protect you in the village, so you have to think carefully about it.

And those of you who have cotton-padded jackets and quilts must also hand them all in and we will make unified arrangements for them. This is also for your own good.”

The village chief of the Lin family is a man of means. As expected, as soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.

They had to hand over all the life-saving supplies they had. What if the village chief didn't give them the supplies?

But if you don't hand over the supplies, you will be ostracized by the village, and life will be difficult, as you will die anyway.

The head of Linjia Village said, "Okay, now those who are willing to hand over all the supplies can go this way, and those who are not willing can stay over there."

Old Lady Lin and Sun Mei gathered together and muttered. Old Lady Lin asked, "Old Lady's Wife, should we hand over these supplies?"

Sun Mei looked at the tattered jackets on the flatbed and said, "Of course we have to hand them in. Look at what's on our flatbed, everything has been taken away. How are we going to survive?"

The Lin family suffered heavy losses this time. Except for their wallets, almost everything on the flatbed truck was robbed. There was even a hole in Lin Dasheng's head, and he was now lying motionless under a tree.

But no one paid any attention to him. Old Mrs. Lin said, "We have handed over all our belongings. Head of the family, you go..."

Lin Qingniu took a puff of his pipe and said, "Okay, then I'll set an example."

He directly handed over the tattered cotton-padded jacket on the flatbed truck. The village chief of Lin Family said:

"See? Fubao's grandfather handed over all their belongings. This proves that my idea is absolutely correct.

You can surrender or not, but if you don't, stay away from our team, and we in the village will not help you anymore."

After a moment's silence, someone handed over all the quilts, cotton-padded jackets and food in his home.

After the first family, there was a second family, and soon more than half of the people in the village handed over all their household belongings.

Master Bai shook his head and said:

"These people are stupid. If you really hand these things over, it's like handing over your life and property to him.

It would be fine if Lin Tugen was a good person, but he used to be a bully in the village. Later, no one knew what he did outside, but when he came back, he was rich.

That's why he became the village chief. This Lin Tugen is not a good person at heart."

There were still a few families who hadn't handed over their belongings. Lin Tugen looked at them coldly and said, "You better think about it. Without the protection of the village, you won't be able to reach Bianjing."

"Ha! We've made up our mind. We won't rely on the village..." After saying that, the four families turned around and left.

These four families were all well-off, and they walked directly towards Master Bai and his group.

One of them is Lin Song’s friend Lin Ergou.

There were three other families who were all former students of Master Bai. They walked up to him and asked, "Master, may I come with you?"

Master Bai looked at the four families and said, "Sure. We have more people, so we can look after each other."

Their family consists of the elderly and weak, which is not very safe. However, these four families have more than a dozen able-bodied men, which is a good thing.

Besides, these four families are trustworthy. The further you go, the harder it is to go, which is actually a good thing.

Master Bai looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and asked, "Qiaoniang, what do you think?"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at them, then looked at the children and said, "Okay, let's keep each other company."

Master Bai nodded and said, "We'll do what we normally do. When we're on night watch, we'll stay together and look after each other. As for supplies, everyone can keep their own. Okay?"

"Yes, I agree with Master Bai. We should go to the mountains on weekdays. That way, there will be more people at home to look after us, and we won't have to worry about anyone doing something bad."

"Okay, let's put it this way. Now that we have offended everyone in the village, we can only rely on ourselves for the rest of the journey."

Everyone was silent. It wasn't that they wanted to offend the villagers, but by doing this the villagers were forcing them to die.

Once the things in your hands arrive in the village, it is up to the villagers to decide whether to give them away or not.

In the future, when I go hunting in the mountains, any good things I get must be given to the village. Even the resources I get must be centrally arranged by the village. This feeling of being controlled by others is very unpleasant.

Lin Tugen narrowed his eyes and pointed at the group of traitors and said:

"Watch carefully what happens to that group of people. I want to see how far they can go.

Do you really think that you will have food to eat by following that old guy surnamed Bai? Are you dreaming?

What do they eat every day now? Guanyin soil. I wonder how long they can survive.

Zhao Qiaoniang ignored him and asked each family to send one person out, while the others continued to sleep because they had to travel tomorrow!

There is still some distance between the five families, they just live together.

Master Bai said softly, "We can't trust them completely either. Especially when eating, we have to avoid them."

Zhao Qiaoniang and the others nodded. The only people they could truly trust were their own family members, and they still had to be careful with outsiders. However, this kind of alliance still had its benefits, at least it was more secure.

These people came here because they saw that Zhao Qiaoniang's family had weapons, and although there were mostly women, they were very strong, and Master Bai was smart.

The second half of the night was calm. The next morning, Mrs. Bai heated up a few pancakes. After they finished eating, gongs were sounded over there. Several families packed up their things and continued walking with the villagers.

They didn't get too close, but followed from a distance of several dozen meters.

Lin Tugen scolded coldly: "Since you are so capable, why do you have to follow us?"
