Chapter 452 I want to exhaust myself to death

The two of them exchanged some polite words, and then Chief Li said that he would send a car to take him back, but Bai Yunsong refused.

“It’s hard to travel by car and horse in heavy snow. I can go back faster by myself, so I won’t trouble the elders. We just hope that the elders will arrest the thieves and bring peace to our hometown. This is our greatest wish.”

"Bai Lizheng, don't worry. It's my duty to catch the thieves. I only need to find their hiding place and I can take them down in one fell swoop."

As for the thieves, they actually know it well. Who allows the victims to run around everywhere?

By the time Bai Yunsong returned to the village, it was already dark. As soon as he entered the village, he was greeted by someone.

“Li Zheng, why have you been gone for so long?”

“That’s right, we’ve been waiting for you all day, and our feet are numb from the cold.”

Bai Yunsong looked at the eager expressions of everyone and waved his hand.

“Let’s go home first. Chief Li will go back in the afternoon. There have been some thefts in several villages around us. Other villages reported it early, so Chief Li took people to the countryside.”

"I have been guarding the gate of the town government until the elder came back and then reported the situation in our village to him. Elder Li suspected that it was a group, and I guess there will be results in the next two days."

 The villagers finally breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Bai Yunsong's narration.

"That's good. We are afraid that the elder will shirk the responsibility and the thieves will not be caught. We have to live in fear every day."

“Li Zheng, since you are back, let’s start collecting donations. Our family is still hungry.”

Someone suggested it, and the others followed suit.

“Yeah, I just tolerated it today, but I have to eat tomorrow.”

Hearing the anxious tone of everyone, Bai Yunsong was extremely depressed.

He just came back from running for a day, shivering with cold. No one asked him how his day was, or whether he was safe on the road, but they only cared about his belly.

Bai Yunsong looked at them quietly for a moment, then turned and left, his face gloomy as if he was about to drip ink.

 Everyone was startled, looking at Li Zheng’s back and looking at each other.

"What's wrong with Li Zheng? Don't you want to take us to collect food donations? How can this be done? Our family will be out of food tomorrow."

“Don’t say your family is short of food. My family’s food jars were all broken, and there are only a few pieces of sweet potatoes left, which have been eaten today.”

When they thought about being hungry tomorrow, everyone rushed over and took Bai Yunsong's arm, regardless of whether he was really angry or didn't want to help them solve the food problem.

“Stand at attention, you can’t just leave us alone?”

“That’s right, our family is still waiting to eat.”

Bai Yunsong looked at their eager eyes, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

"You only care about whether your belly is full, but have you ever thought that I ran around for you all day, starving and freezing in the town, without a sip of water or a grain of rice? Shouldn't I go home and have a meal first? , warm your belly and take a breather?”

"You have to tire me out and freeze me to death to be worthy of you? I am your right person, but I am not your father and mother. I must take care of your food and drink."

Bai Yunsong became angrier and angrier as he talked. Finally, he just tossed his sleeves, snorted and walked forward. He was really angry to death.

 He just wanted to be a good person, but he didn't want to exhaust himself to death.

The imperial court did not pay him a salary, so he just wanted to have a good reputation. If there were any instructions from above, they could get the news as soon as possible, so that it would be more convenient when going to the town government to do things.
