Those among the clansmen who could carry it clearly and did not want to take advantage consciously stood away; while those who did not take advantage were so jealous that they shed tears when they saw the racks of meat.

"Yuan Dong, there are so many people in the clan, and you have hunted so many prey, you have to share a share, right?"

"What kind of division? What kind of division are you talking about?" The village chief walked slowly over.

The scene fell silent.

The person who spoke just now shrank back unconsciously. This person looked dark and thin, with a lively look in his eyes. When facing the three brothers Cheng Yuandong, he was careless and shameless. When facing the village chief, he shrank without stopping, with a look of guilt and fear.

Mingyi didn't know what to say, she was so cowardly that she had to jump out and become a rafter.

Haven't you heard that the rafters that emerge first die first?

"Come, tell me, old man, what were you shouting about just now?" The village chief didn't seem to see what Cheng Yuanxi and others were pulling behind him, and only looked at the tribesman who yelled the most fiercely.

The man had a flattering look on his face, rubbed his hands and admitted his mistake, "Uncle, we didn't say anything, we just talked."

"Tell me about it?" the village chief sneered, "You can talk a lot but you can't, right? If your mouth is so powerful, why not go hunting in the mountains with your mouth? I think the harvest will be good."

"Uncle, I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have made a fuss."

"You're not making noises, you're just having a bad conscience." The coldness on the village chief's face became even more intense, as if it was covered with a layer of frost. "Yuan Xi's family takes great care of the clan, and the food on the way to escape from famine is so rare. Who of you?" Not sure? If they find more, they will share it with the clan."

The conscientious tribesmen lowered their heads one after another. They were indeed not innocent; they came here just to take advantage if they could, and just to watch the fun if they couldn't.

Look at those tribesmen who have a clear conscience. Who is here to watch?

People are too busy with their own affairs.

"There seem to be a lot of these prey. We first arrived here. We all have an idea of ​​what kind of situation each family is in, right?" the village chief asked.

The clever tribesman has already nodded, "Village chief, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have come here to embarrass Yuan Dong, Yuan Nan, and Yuan Xi."

"Be a little self-aware. You can't embarrass them. It's you who are embarrassed. It's you who are embarrassed and it has nothing to do with others."

"We came here to escape from famine. It's true that our family is poor, but we can't be spineless. Yuan Xi and the three brothers helped you with everything they could, but the help went wrong? Do you take this help for granted?"

"Conscience! Where is your conscience?"

Some of the onlookers quietly withdrew from the crowd and left the place; some stood there with their heads lowered, listening to the village chief's reprimand, while others curled their lips and remained noncommittal.

Mingyi and Mingli saw it clearly, and Cheng Yuanxi also didn't miss the expressions on their faces.

If you know it in your heart, that's enough. There's no need to say it.

Because, it is useless to say that, that is what people think. They feel that the things their family finds should be distributed to the clan; it should be distributed to them, no matter how much they say, it is a waste of saliva.

They won't take it out and share it anyway, so no matter how much they worry about it, it's useless.

Seeing the excitement, Cheng Yuanxi stood up at the right time, partly to go to the city early, and partly to save his clan members from the siege; in the future, as members of a clan, they would always have to deal with each other.

Keep a thin line in life and work. Although not everyone appreciates it, there are still people who appreciate it.

"Village Chief, you are getting old, so take a good rest; we are in a hurry to go to the city. If we are late, I am afraid the restaurant will be closed. After one night, the price of the prey will drop a lot."

At least reduce it by one-fifth, and that’s money.

The village chief looked at them and thought of a question. The city gate should be closed when he went to the capital at this time. However, when he saw An Yi, he swallowed his words again.

With the people around Prince Zhou, even if the city gate is closed, it can be reopened. "Then you go and come back early. I'll watch over here for you."

"Well, thank you, village chief." Cheng Yuanxi responded with a smile, wiped the sweat from his face, and cheerfully greeted his brothers, nephews, and children and dragged the rack to their home's property.

Unload the black bears, tigers, snakes, and wild boars and put them on the cart; change the cart and push them away. Compared with dragging the raft, pushing the cart is much easier.

However, due to its heavy weight, the road surface was full of potholes and it was difficult to walk on it.

There must be someone nearby to help, otherwise, if you lose your balance from time to time, you will fall down.

The biggest wild boar was kept at home and the rest were pushed away.

After watching the group of people go away, Cheng Dazhu called the female relatives at home for help, and he personally shaved the pig hair and took care of the wild boar.

Cheng Dazhu's place was bustling with activity. Mingyi and others took the prey on the cart and drove at night. When they arrived at Fucheng, it had been dark for a long time, and they could only continue walking by relying on the dim starlight.

As soon as their group arrived, two city guards stood on the tower looking down.

"Who are you? The city gates are closed in the middle of the night. Please leave quickly."

"Bold." An Yi raised his voice and shouted, "I am a person close to the Crown Prince of Zhou. You send someone down to open the city gate."

"The Crown Prince of Zhou?"

"You are stupid. The Crown Prince of Zhou is the legitimate son of the King of Zhou. He has been weak and sick all year round. He said he is from the Crown Prince, so he is from the Crown Prince?" Another guard officer lowered his eyes to look at the person below, vaguely. I saw them pushing the cart, but I couldn't see clearly what was placed on it.

An Yi said again: "Open the city gate. I have the token of Prince Zhou. You can tell by looking at it."

"Is it true?" The officer and soldier who had just suspected it said to the officer and soldier next to him.

The officers and soldiers next to him swallowed their saliva and said, "How about opening the city gate and taking a look?"

"If you work carefully."

"Probably not. I think what they are pushing on the cart must be hunted prey; there is a big piebald python with very scary patterns."

"Prey? Did you see clearly?"

"You see clearly, it is indeed prey. You know I have good eyesight; I can see clearly even in this dark night."

"Then it would be a pity if you don't become a pioneer." Such a good eye.

"Can the city gate be opened?" asked the undecided officer.

"Open! I'll go out and take a look first. Make sure there's no problem before you open the city gate."

The other officer gritted his teeth and decided to risk his life to see if it was done carefully. If he was careful, he would be sacrificed. If not, they would not offend anyone.

"Your wife is pregnant, so it's better for me to go." After saying that, the thinner officers and soldiers passed him and walked towards the city stairs.

The officer and soldier thought of his wife, but after hesitating for a moment, he had already walked down the stairs. He could no longer say anything, so he could only follow her to the city gate.

The two of them worked together to open a gap in the city gate.

The thin officers and soldiers walked out of the city gate. Although they had the courage to die heroically, they were still very weak in their hearts. Their legs felt weak when they walked, as if they were stepping on clouds. They walked to An Yi with weak legs.
