The scum is all over the world, and there are Shura fields everywhere

Chapter 291 Voting
That afternoon, all the villagers gathered at the village chief's house.

As there were too many people and there was no room for everyone to sit in the house, the village chief had people put stools in the yard. After everyone was seated, he stood on the steps and spoke slowly.

"Two guests have come to the village. I'm sure everyone knows about this."

Everyone nodded, and Hongguo sat in the crowd with her parents. She looked around, but did not see Yang Rongrong and Shuying. She knew that they were not there, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Village Chief Bai stated that the fighting outside had stopped, but he felt that everyone had gotten used to life here and there was no need to mobilize everyone to move out.

But this is just his own idea. He called everyone here tonight to seek their opinions.

Hearing this, Hongguo's eyes suddenly lit up.

If she moves away from here, she can see the outside world!

Without hesitation, she raised her hand and shouted, "I want to move out!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand was quickly pressed down by her father, and at the same time her mother covered her mouth and whispered a warning to the child not to talk nonsense.

Hongguo was speechless and could only open her eyes wide to express her dissatisfaction with her eyes.

She is thirteen years old, not a child anymore!

Village Chief Bai heard Hong Guo's speech and smiled tolerantly: "Hong Guo is brave enough to express his own ideas, which is great."

Hong Guo's father explained hurriedly: "We have spoiled this child. She is young and curious, and always thinks that the outside world is so wonderful. In fact, she is just a hypocrite. If we really throw her into the outside world, I guess she won't be able to endure it for even a day."

Hongguo's eyes widened, very unconvinced.

She is not the kind of person her father said she was!
Village Chief Bai sighed, "It's normal for children to be curious. It's my fault for detaining them here."

Everyone tried to comfort him: "The village chief is doing this for our own good, so he won't let us run around. If you hadn't taken the trouble to bring us here to seek refuge, we would have all died in the war. You are our benefactor, and we will all follow your arrangements and stay here and not go anywhere."

At this time, Yang Rongrong and Shuying were staying in the west wing.

Through the thin window, they could clearly hear the voices outside.

Yang Rongrong reached out and gently pushed the window open a little, then looked out through the gap.

Almost all adults support staying here.

Only some children, such as Hongguo, are full of yearning for the outside world and want to leave here and see the world.

Finally, the village chief proposed a secret ballot, and everyone in the village, including children, had the right to vote.

Everyone was given two bamboo sticks, one long and one short. The long one represented staying, and the short one represented leaving.

They threw the selected bamboo stick into the wooden box.

When the voting was over, Village Chief Bai opened the box in public and began to count the number of beads one by one.

Hongguo stretched his neck and looked forward, his big eyes full of anticipation.

She watched as the pile of bamboo sticks left by the representatives grew larger, while the pile of bamboo sticks left by the representatives who left were only a few.

The result is predictable, Taoyuan Village will continue to live here in the future.

Yang Rongrong closed the window, turned her head to look at Shuying who was standing beside her, and whispered her doubts.

"Is this Taoyuan Village in the ghost den?"

As the Ghost King, no one knows the ghost world better than Shuying.

But he couldn't give a definite answer at this time.

"This is a secret place, an extraordinary place. It is possible that Taoyuan Village was moved from somewhere else, or it is possible that Taoyuan Village is not in the Ghost Den at all, and someone used some means to open up a passage connecting the Ghost Den and Taoyuan Village."

Yang Rongrong asked again: "Village Chief Bai doesn't want to leave here, because he is really used to the environment here as he said, and doesn't want to mobilize a large number of people to move around? Or is it because he knows in his heart that this place is a secret place and the villagers can't get out?"

Shuying said nothing, and he was also suspicious. Yang Rongrong walked back and forth in the room, muttering to himself: "I always feel that the village chief is the Bai Ze I'm looking for, but why can't the Fu Sheng Mirror reflect his true identity?"

Shuying reminded: "All the magic weapons we brought are ineffective here."

Hearing this, Yang Rongrong paused.

She suddenly realized, she almost forgot about it!

Since other magic weapons have become ineffective, it means that the Floating Life Mirror may not be able to be used normally.

In this case, it is normal that the true appearance of Village Chief Bai cannot be captured.

At that time, the sun was setting and the sky was filled with gorgeous sunset glow.

Village Chief Bai put away the bamboo sticks and solemnly reminded: "It's getting late, you should go back quickly. Remember to close the doors and windows at night and don't go out."

Everyone stood up to say goodbye and poured out like a tide.

In the room, Yang Rongrong was still pondering the true identity of Village Chief Bai. When she heard the voices outside, she became suspicious again and said thoughtfully, "What the village chief said is a bit strange."

Shuying also found it strange.

It is normal to avoid going out as the roads are difficult to walk on at night when it is dark.

But from the tone of Village Chief Bai's voice, there was a hint of warning.

Something must have happened in the village at night, which is why Village Chief Bai said such a thing.

The rosy glow fell on Hongguo's face, making her little face look even more rosy and cute, but at this moment her eyes were full of loss and she looked dejected.

The father carried his sleepy little son on his back and said to his family, "We have to leave quickly. It's getting dark."

Hearing this, Hongguo seemed to have thought of something and her face turned slightly pale.

She no longer cared about her loss and hurried back with her family.

It wasn't just their family, other families in the village were all in a hurry.

Normally, villagers would stop and chat when they met on the road, but now everyone was in a hurry to go back and there was really no time to chat.

Village Chief Bai found Yang Rongrong and Shuying and spoke in a gentle voice.

"It's getting dark soon. It's inconvenient for you two to go out. Why don't you stay at my house and rest?"

Yang Rongrong just wanted to see what would happen in Taoyuan Village at night, so she readily agreed.

"Thank you, Village Chief. This is a small token of our appreciation. It serves as your lodging fee for tonight."

After saying that, she took out a silver ingot and handed it over.

Village Chief Bai immediately waved his hand and refused: "I can't accept this money. You two are both masters. It is my honor to be willing to stay at my house for one night. How can I accept your money?"

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly, it seemed that he really didn't want the money.

Yang Rongrong didn't force it.

Later, A-Dai came to call Yang Rongrong and Shuying to have dinner.

This child was really shy. After meeting each other, he just said "Let's eat" and then ran away, afraid to say another word to anyone.

The four of them sat down in the main room. There were five dishes and a soup on the table. Although the dishes were simple, they included both meat and vegetables, and were well matched.

Village Chief Bai also took out a small jar of wine and said with a smile.

"This is the rice wine I brewed myself. It's very crude. You two should try it."

Yang Rongrong happened to have something to ask, and being drunk would be easier for her to find out information.
