"Uncle Village Chief, you can share, we are listening."

"Yeah, food is fine, we all agree."

The villagers opened their mouths one after another, urging the village head, their eyes burning, as if they wanted to melt the money.

The village head counted, and there were a total of 48 or nine silver ladles in the jar, each five taels.

He said, "It's still the fourth child and Biaotou Liu, as well as Sister-in-Law Qiong and Dr. Zhang..."

As soon as we started, Mrs. Cui said, "Village Chief, we've already run out of grain, so we don't need any money. Let's share it with everyone, don't count Sister-in-law Qiong's share."

Sister-in-law Qiong also nodded, "I just went in to get some medicine, and I didn't do much."

Doctor Zhang also waved his hand, "Yes, I don't need any money, I just need food. I just gave out a bottle of medicine, and no one went there, so what money is there?"

Li Lao Si looked at his old lady, saw her nodding, then turned to Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu also nodded quickly.

The two families reached a tacit understanding, and Li Lao Si said, "Uncle Village Chief, let's divide the money equally. As long as one of them goes to suppress the bandits this time, one of them will contribute and take the risk. There are also a few brothers who stay at home. , I'm more or less interested, after all, they didn't follow in order to protect the family."

Several people said that, especially Li Laosi took into account the young and strong who did not go, which made everyone grateful and happy, and they were embarrassed to take advantage of it!

"Uncle Village Chief, we have to walk back and forth with us. There are more than 30 gangsters, we just killed four or five, and the rest depends on Fourth Brother and Liu Biaotou. They deserve more money."

"Yeah, we were scared to death at the time, and we hacked a few of them to death when we got together. If it weren't for the fourth brother, Liu Biaotou, and the righteous Liu Yang, we might have lost a few lives."

Those who stayed at home also said, "We didn't go, we stayed at home, how can we divide the money, we can't ask for it."

Uncle Wu kept waving his hands, "Everyone is here to save our children. I don't want to thank you guys for the money. How can I still share the money? I don't want it!"

The village chief and Uncle Zhao were so happy, the villagers were so united and reasonable.

Seeing the push from both sides, the village chief said.

"I'm in charge, let's divide it evenly. There are 21 people who went to suppress the bandits, and each person has two silver coins. The remaining few silver coins are enough for each person to keep at home. That's it!"

As he spoke, he began to divide the money, and finally everyone squeezed the heavy silver coins, and they were all happy.

Even sister-in-law Qiong raised her lips and gave the silver curly to Mrs. Cui.

Of course there was also the bag of ransom money, the women of each family hurried forward to put their own in it, and took it back as it was.

The village chief called Tao Hongying, "Hongying, you have been taking care of Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen. Look at the pile of things. If there is anything missing in the small cave, pick it out first. The rest, you women It’s fine for people to see the score.”

"Okay, uncle, you guys rest, we are left to make arrangements."

Tao Hongying hurriedly gathered women from various families together, and first picked out a kettle and tea set, a set of pots and pans, a jar of vegetable oil, some salt, etc., and two sets of bedding.

The women of each family watched with a smile, and when she finished choosing, they quickly divided up the rest.

The village chief yelled at the crowd, "Go back and rest, leave the boys at home, don't take money for nothing, stay on duty tonight. Let the fourth child sleep well, we will study hard tomorrow, and we will take turns to be on duty in the future."

"Understood, Uncle Village Chief."

Everyone responded with a bang, and they all carried their own food and things, and climbed back to the cave.

The Li family had gained too much this time, not to mention the 20 taels of silver, they brought back nearly four bags of food, one bag of millet was subsidized by everyone, and one bag of sorghum rice was extra earned by the fourth child and Jia Yi.

The remaining bag of sorghum noodles and half bag of round-grained rice are food for the family’s dozen or so mouths, and the last half bag of fine noodles is for the good news.

After all, the little ones of every family have been eating small stoves with Jiayin all the way, and they didn't eat less of the eggs "picked up" by Li's family, and they didn't lessen their soup and porridge.

Mrs. Li was so happy that she put all the silver and copper coins back, and then kissed her granddaughter on the cheek.

"Fu Niu, have you seen it? You should be kind-hearted. A good person must be rewarded! Isn't it?"

Jiayin hugged grandma, kissed her on the cheek, and shouted coquettishly, "Grandma, eat dumplings!"

In the past few days, there has been sorghum rice porridge mixed with dried vegetables, which is so thin that people can be seen, and Jiayin's belly is deflated.

To be honest, Dad brought food back, if she was empty-handed, she would try her best to be a monster, so she had to find a way.

The old lady was happy, hesitated for a moment and said, "Let your mother cook some pimple soup tonight, and we will eat dumplings when your third brother comes back tomorrow."

Before Jiayin could speak, Jiaxi Jiaan, who was eavesdropping on the sidelines, was so happy that he yelled, "Eat dumplings, eat dumplings!"

Mrs. Li quickly picked up the cigarette pot and knocked on it alone, "What are you shouting, your father is sleeping!"

Jia An and Jia Xi immediately shrank their necks, quickly climbed down the cave, and went to show off with other friends.

Every family has no less food, and they all want to have fun.

Hearing that the Li family was going to make dumplings tomorrow, they also planned to get up.Don't worry about how much, pack a few to make the kids happy together.

In the small cave, Mrs. Cui took the blood letter written by the women of the Guo family and sighed softly.

"Mrs. Guo and I were familiar with each other when we were in girls' school. After we got married, we gradually drifted apart and didn't move around anymore. I don't want to hear the news of her death here. It's still so tragic..."

Qiong's sister-in-law hurriedly persuaded, "Ma'am, the Guo family has been buried properly and left a mark. It will be easy to find the bones in the future. As long as we send the token to the Guo family, you have already fulfilled the friendship of classmates back then."

Mrs. Cui nodded, "I just... oh, this world is so difficult, fortune and misfortune are unpredictable. I thought I was already very miserable, but now I am here, I have my life, and my life is safe. I don't want the Guo family to be even more pitiful. It's really..."

Mr. Wen on the side also responded, "We are also lucky, otherwise we might freeze to death in the mountains and forests right now. However, this blood book cannot be given to the Guo family, as the villagers say, for Mrs. Guo and others What happened to us, we have to keep it a secret. But people's hearts are unpredictable, so I still keep this blood book, just in case."

Is this to prevent the Guo family from suspecting the villagers?

Both Mrs. Cui and Sister-in-Law Qiong felt that it was not possible, but they did not object...

On the second day, after the sun came out, there was another bonfire in the mountain stream. The village head and Uncle Zhao gathered all the young and old people in the village and began to discuss important matters.

"This time we lost the leftover dog and suffered a great loss. We need to have a long memory, and we can't just rely on the snow to feel that everything is safe. I don't want to say whether there are other bandits in this forest, but only that after the beginning of spring we will return I'm going to continue traveling through the mountains, I'm so lazy, I'm so lazy, I'm afraid I won't be able to climb the mountain."

The village chief held the cigarette pot and circled the ground with his hands behind his back, speaking earnestly.
