Chapter 48 Why Let Them Go
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xie Cheng at the side suddenly spoke.

"Since you are not bandits, then get out of here quickly, outsiders are not welcome in our village."

Hearing her words, Wan Duo had a puzzled look on his face.

"Why let them go, do you believe what they say?"

Xie Cheng frowned: "If they are really bad people, Xi will talk nonsense to us."

Wan Duo was silent, but there was some truth to what he said.

Mo Qiubai at the side didn't stop him either.

After the group of people left, Wan Duo started to complain. He looked at the guards and yelled fiercely.

"Why didn't you speak up just now? I was the only one who stepped forward, and you were too timid."

His hands were clenched tightly, and his fists were waving in the air, as if he regarded the air as a strong man in the guard.

Seeing his angry expression, the others shrugged indifferently.

"I don't think they are bad people. Mr. Gu's people are not so easy to talk to. They are like bandits. They enter the village as soon as they say it."

They were almost on the same front, and Wan Duo was very helpless, after all, he only had one mouth, and he couldn't speak to so many people.

"Okay, okay, what you say is what you say, and I don't bother to care about it."

Some said that it was time for them to go home, and they would go home and consider whether to stay in the escort.

When they turned around, Xie Cheng suddenly spoke.

"The group of people just now belonged to Mr. Gu."

Hearing this, everyone stopped in their tracks. The eyes of the strong men were still terrified. Wan Duo also turned around suddenly, his pupils dilated slightly, and his throat moved slightly.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier, you should have left them here and beat them up just now, so that they dare not come here again."

It's so naive.

Just now, those people looked like professional thugs. The people in the guard team had only learned martial arts from Mo Qiubai for a few days, and the left side was just the Kung Fu of the triangle cat. How could they beat them, even if they could barely beat them? It will only result in a lose-lose result.

Mr. Gu can hire countless thugs because he has money, but they can't find so many strong men to join the guards.

"Are you so confident that you can beat them?"

Hearing Xie Cheng's rhetorical question, everyone looked at each other, but no one answered her question.

Xie Cheng bit his lips: "Sometimes we still need to be self-aware, let them go first, don't confront them head-on, we have to take other measures to deal with them."

It is easy to dodge open guns, but difficult to defend against hidden arrows. They can play tricks.

The air was quiet for a long time, no one spoke, and a long sigh suddenly broke the silence.

"So do you still want to stay in the guard?"

Hearing this, the strong men looked at each other in blank dismay, their hands hanging by their sides clenched into fists, and turbulent waves appeared in their eyes.

After thinking for some time, Wan Duo stood up and raised his hand.

"I would like to join the guard."

"Before, I thought that Mr. Gu's people would not come, so I wanted to quit."

If the guards were disbanded at this time, Mr. Gu would be even more rampant.

Last time he failed to force the villagers to sign the voluntary transfer of land, he must have been relieved, and he might use even more sinister means next time.

Only strong men like them can protect such a mountain village. Can we count on those old and weak women and children who have no power to restrain chickens?
"If you want to leave, you can leave, I won't stop, but..."

Wan Duo snorted coldly.

"From now on, you are not men, and you don't even want to protect your own family."

After saying this, he walked up to Mo Qiubai's side, stretched out his hand, and lightly hammered his chest.

"I took the initiative to stay, should you let me be the captain of the guard?"

As soon as his words fell, the other young men began to explain.

"Who said we don't want to stay? What nonsense are you talking about? We all want to stay. We have to protect our families and our hometown."

Their emotions were impassioned, and their faces gradually turned red when they spoke, and the veins on their necks also burst.

Seeing their appearance, Xie Cheng hooked up slightly, she glanced at Mo Qiubai from the corner of her eye, with pride.

"How? I just said they are willing to stay."

Mo Qiubai didn't want to worry about these minutiae, he was just thinking, since these people are willing to stay in the guard, then he must step up training, next time Mr. Gu sends people over, these people will not be powerless to resist .

"Okay, since you are willing to stay, then tomorrow will officially start to strengthen the training. I hope you can train hard and don't complain about being tired anymore, because I will be more tired than you."

The next day.

The rooster has not yet crowed, the sun has not yet risen, and there is still a faint mist in the sky.

There is a group of men walking on the ridge of the field, and they still carry big stones on their backs.

Mo Qiubai who was following behind was still holding a whip in his hand, his face was very gloomy.

"If you can't hold on anymore, you can tell me, and I will let you rest on the sidelines."

No one spoke, none of them wanted to be cowards.

After the morning's training, the physical strength of the strong men was also exhausted. They lay crooked on the ground, their faces covered with dust, but they didn't care.

The heaving of the chest was particularly large, and the body was already soaked in sweat.

After a while, there was a faint smell of food in the air, and they sniffed.

"Could it be lunch?"

Wan Duo stood up, and rushed to the eating place with his pantothenic acid-swollen legs.

I saw Xie Cheng serving them rice in a bamboo and wooden box.

In front of her was a table with four large wooden pots, two pots of meat dishes, two pots of vegetarian dishes, and a bucket of soup next to it, with egg flowers floating on top of the soup noodles.

Seeing the color of this dish and smelling the aroma, Wan Duo's saliva almost flowed to the ground.

"Miss Xie, did you cook all the meals yourself?"

Xie Cheng didn't look up: "Yes."

Hearing this, Wan Duo's eyes suddenly changed. He realized that this woman would really be different from before. A few years ago, Xie Cheng didn't touch the spring water with his fingers. He felt that doing these things was a self-deprecation.

"It seems that you have really changed. It was my fault that I said those things before."

There was still guilt in the words, Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"It's okay, I didn't take your words to heart."

After all, they were scolding the original owner, not her, although they still felt a little unhappy.
