Then the three of them ate a rich meal in the tent. What they saved was enough for the people outside to eat.

Hua Jin's eyes were full of smiles when he saw Xiao Si holding the warm bun for a moment and then putting it into his mouth smoothly.

On the other side, Hua Qiang and Hua Rong just shouted symbolically, knowing that the village chief uncle had already eaten and didn't say much.

They knew that the village chief's family had no shortage of food, especially when they took their precious granddaughter down the mountain to eat.

To tidy up after a meal is to leave things behind.

But with so many eyes watching them, going down the mountain seemed not as easy as they thought, but it wasn't that difficult either.

After two full meals, everyone was obviously in much better spirits than yesterday, especially those with injuries who had begun to recover after receiving medical treatment.

Their morning meal was eaten together with everyone in Huajia Village, using food collected from the cave.

After the meal, Hua Qiang found Old Man Hua and whispered for a while.

"Really?"

"It's true, everyone is dead, and they died miserably."

A dozen people were beaten into a pile of mud, and none of their bodies were intact.

"Keep your voice down." Old Man Hua glanced at his granddaughter.

It's too bloody, so I'd better not let them know.

"It's up to you, fine, just pretend you don't know."

Hua Qiang nodded.

"Get ready" It's time to leave after taking so long.

Watching everyone in Huajia Village packing their things, a group headed by the head of Lijia Village walked over with anxious steps.

"Chief Hua..." Village Chief Li looked at Old Man Hua hesitantly.

"Village Chief Li, you seem to have had a good rest." Mr. Hua greeted him with a smile. Village Chief Li, who looked obviously much better than last night, was also very happy for him. He had recovered.

"Thanks to you, this great kindness will be unforgettable." As soon as Village Chief Li said this, he wanted to kneel down and kowtow.

This is the best way they can express their feelings at the moment.

"Okay, don't think too much. This shows that everyone's lives should not be cut off. Otherwise, why would those beasts have robbed us?"

Village Chief Li nodded, but he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the dead villagers.

Old Man Hua patted Village Chief Li on the shoulder in a comforting manner.

"Um...are you ready to leave?" Village Chief Li finally asked after hesitation.

"Yes, I've been delayed for a long time, it's time to go back."

"Um... I have something to discuss with Chief Hua, but it doesn't matter if I don't agree." Worried about making Chief Hua unhappy, Village Chief Li said quickly.

"Tell me first..."

Being able to get Village Chief Li to pay so much attention to it made Old Man Hua become serious, but he didn't agree to anything.

"...I feel ashamed to say it. I, the village chief, have done a disgraceful job. Of the hundreds of people in our village, only less than 200 people survived in a year and a half. Now, dozens of young and middle-aged people have left because of the grain crops." People, most of the rest are women and children, I'm really worried..." "Village Chief Li, just say whatever you want." Seeing the hesitating Village Chief Li, the old man Hua felt tired for him.

"I know we don't have much labor left. Most of the villagers are half-grown children and women, but they are all good at working in the fields. Chief Hua Village can rest assured that we will never hold back Huajia Village, so... ...I wonder if we can go with Chief Hua?" After saying this, the anxious Village Chief Li looked at Old Man Hua hopefully.

He had no choice. Now there were less than ten men who came out with him, including the older ones like him. In addition, there were only more than 30 young and middle-aged people left behind in the village, and dozens of women. Ten children, in this era of cannibalism, Village Chief Li really has no confidence that he can keep these people alive safely. If there is another accident, the Li family may have no chance of survival if they cross the village.

It didn't matter to him whether he was old or dead, but when he thought about the half-grown children in the village, he couldn't bear it. He discussed it with a few young people in the village early in the morning, and finally decided to defect to Huajia Village. Only by following this powerful village could they have any chance. Way to survive.

It's just... the premise is that people are willing to take it in.

Old Man Hua really didn't think much about it. He just thought that Village Chief Li wanted to ask them to help them get down the mountain. He never expected that he actually wanted to join their Huajia Village.

After a second thought, I understood what the village chief meant. If it were him, he would want to join a powerful village so that the remaining people in the village could survive.

All said and done, this is a good and responsible village leader, otherwise he would not have put all his efforts into planning for the village.

But he really didn't think about taking in other people. After all, there were already a lot of people in their village, and there were eighteen families who joined later, adding up to thousands of people.

More people means more things to do and greater responsibilities. Old Man Hua really doesn’t want to exhaust himself to death.

"Chief Hua..." Seeing Huaman frowning, Village Chief Li felt very uneasy but still mustered up the courage to shout again.

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work...I..."

"It's not impossible, Village Chief Li, are you sure? And can you be the boss of the people in your village?"

He couldn't agree to go there, and then the people in Lijia Village disagreed. Wouldn't this be a waste of time?
"So Village Chief Hua has agreed. Really, don't worry, I can take charge of Lijia Village. That's great, that's great..." Village Chief Li almost cried with joy and said eagerly.

...a complete surprise.

well!Old Man Hua sighed, finally relenting.

Well, it’s not like they haven’t taken in people before, and having more people is not without its benefits. At least there will be dozens more strong laborers, and dozens of half-grown boys, especially those half-grown boys who will have potential in a few years. Stocks will also be a boost to Huajia Village.

"Lao San, Huizi, Tuwazi, come here quickly, kowtow, thank the village chief..." Village Chief Li, who was happy, excited and excited, quickly called out to the people of Lijia Village.

Li Laosan and the others came with their two children and didn't say much. They just knelt down and nodded.

They were supposed to kowtow at this point, but it was just kowtow and could not be compared with fate.

Moreover, Chief Hua not only saved them but also agreed to take them into Lijia Village, which made the kindness even greater.

With the conditions in Huajia Village, there is no need to accept these burdens from them.

Yes, although Li Laosan thinks that his skills are pretty good, there is no comparison with the people in Huajia Village, not to mention that they are injured and dead, including women, children and the elderly.

All these show the kindness and magnanimity of the village chief, and they really appreciate him here.

"What are you doing? Okay, get up quickly and I won't be happy if you do this again." Old Man Hua pulled the two men in the lead and said pretending to be unhappy.

"A man has gold under his knees. He is kneeling to the sky and kneeling to his parents. How can he bend his knees so easily? Get up quickly."

"Uncle, you saved us all. You are our reborn parents, so we should kowtow to you." Li Laosan said, banging his head three times again.

Then he continued without waiting for Old Man Hua to speak: "Uncle, I, Mr. Li, swear here that when I enter Huajia Village from now on, I will be a member of Huajia Village. I will definitely obey the rules of Huajia Village and will not hold anyone back."
