Chapter 423 The Elder Arrives
All changes happened in an instant. When the other party reacted, the person facing them was the guy in their hands.
"You are deceiving...you have gone too far..."
Before they could complain, Bai Yunxi sneered, "We just get back our own things, why are we going too far to bully others?"
Refugee: "..."
Seeing the smile in Bai Yunxi's eyes, they realized that they had been fooled.
I wanted to fight, but I was a little afraid. If I just retreated and struggled for a long time, I didn't get anything, and I would still be hungry when I got back.
At this moment, everyone noticed that a group of people appeared on the official road. The leader was riding a horse, holding a rein in his hand and dressed in the clothes of a senior citizen. Behind him was a group of people, holding a spear in his hand, turning in mightily. to the village.
"It's great that the elder is here."
Although the chief is not an official, he is responsible for maintaining public security and catching thieves. He is also directly appointed by the county.
Generally, those who can become elders are local squires and wealthy people.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, they represent the government.
When the refugees saw the government officials coming, they immediately panicked and fled in all directions without caring about the food. Even the crying women on the ground got up and ran away. At this moment, no one was weak and couldn't take care of themselves.
The refugees fled in all directions, which immediately attracted the elder's attention, but he still walked leisurely on his horse towards the village, with no intention of chasing them.
The people ran away, and the villagers breathed a sigh of relief. The families who were robbed quickly checked their food, with expressions of joy on their faces.
Baiyunshan walked up to his cousin and gave her a thumbs up, "My cousin is so awesome. If you hadn't delayed, it would have been very difficult for us to get the food back."
"I just use my words. My cousin has strong execution ability and can persuade them to act together."
Bai Yunxi waved his hand. Not to mention, this cousin has really good organizational skills and is very popular. Otherwise, everyone would be willing to listen to him.
Listening to Baiyunxi's praise, Baiyunshan did not refute.
"When it comes to your own interests, you must unite, otherwise, you may be the next one to be robbed."
"Brother Yunshan is really courageous. Without you, we wouldn't dare to move."
"That's right, we should have teamed up a long time ago to scare them away once and for all, and save today's trouble."
Listening to everyone's rejoicing tone, Bai Yunsong, who had been ignored, turned dark and his brows knitted into knots.
Is he the right one?
Seeing my cousins standing together and complimenting each other, I felt very uncomfortable. Just when I was about to say something, the elder riding a horse had already arrived in front of me.
Bai Yunsong adjusted his clothes, took the opportunity to relax his mood, and greeted him with a smile.
"Chief Li Qi, we have missed our welcome. As soon as you come, the refugees will immediately flee, otherwise our village will be in trouble today."
After listening to the cousin's words, Baiyunxi and Baiyunshan looked at each other, shook their heads and stepped aside to talk alone, while listening to the news brought by Elder Li.
Listening to Bai Yunsong's compliment, Chief Li nodded slightly, looked at the scene in front of him, and cleared his throat.
"Bai Lizheng is too polite. The refugees have been scurrying around recently, causing a lot of trouble to the surrounding neighbors. The superiors have already known about it, and documents have been issued. In recent days, there are porridge shacks outside the county town, supplying porridge and water for free."
When Bai Yunsong heard this, he looked happy and raised his hands in thanks.
"This news is really good. The refugees have been resettled, and our villages will be free from their disturbance."
