Jiang Hongli stripped the villagers of Xiejia Village naked and threw them out of Xiejia Village. He drove them under the city wall of Xiangjia Village and let him die in the sun.

All the villagers in Xiangjia Village knew about this.

Now, everyone is discussing this matter, whether to save the villagers of Xiejia Village or not to save them.

Those who say we will save them are in the minority, and those who say we won’t be saved are the majority.

First, Xiangjiacun and Xiejiacun were already feuding, and there was no reason to sacrifice themselves to save others.

Second, everyone knows that this is Jiang Hongli's plan to save people and intimidate others, so they should not be fooled.

Xiang Ling squeezed in front, Xiang Ci followed behind, and they squeezed into the ancestral hall.

Mr. Xiang and the others were sitting in a circle, and he was listening to everyone's discussion with his eyebrows raised.

Xiang Ci saw Kaikai and the others standing behind Grandpa, speechless.

The clan elders and the others looked very embarrassed.

Mr. Xiang waited until the crowd's voice became quieter before speaking: "I think we should save him."

The older people get, the more kind they become, and the more they want to pray for their children and grandchildren. They are people who believe in reincarnation.

If he was asked to tell a reason for saving, he couldn't. He just wanted to save people's lives.

The elders of the two clans objected: "We can't save him. Jiang Hongli is very cruel. We can't take the lives of people in our Xiangjia Village just because of the Xie family who have a grudge against us."

This statement was agreed by more than half of the people in the ancestral hall, and they all felt that he should not be saved.

Xiang Lao faced the elders of the two tribes, and the crutch in his hand banged on the ground: "Why shouldn't he be saved? He should be saved."

The elders of the two clans objected again: "It can't be saved."

Mr. Xiang angrily pointed his crutch at the elders of the two clans: "You, you, you..."

He suddenly withdrew his crutch and looked at Mr. Xiang: "Li Zheng, tell me, you make the decision on this matter."

This time he didn't call Liangzi, but Li Zheng, bringing out Mr. Xiang's identity and letting everyone know that after Li Zheng took over the matter, he was not allowed to get involved anymore.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Mr. Xiang.

Xiang Ci also looked at Mr. Xiang, his heart beating nervously, worried that his grandfather had not made a good idea and that the villagers would not agree.

But when I thought about it again, I felt that no matter what idea Grandpa took, it was for the good of the villagers.

No matter how much I thought, I didn't think as much as my grandfather did, so I stopped worrying.

Mr. Xiang, who was biting his unlit pipe, looked at the crowd and said, "People, be saved!"

Just three words, like a stone thrown into a pond, causing ripples in the calm water.

When it hit the shore, it was swept back in circles.

The chatter of the villagers was louder than the last.

"How to save them?"

"That's right, why do you want to save them?"

"You shouldn't have saved him!"

"What's the point of saving? I won't come to save you anyway."

"This is what Li Zheng means."

Xiang Ci was anxious as he listened to what the villagers said. He wanted to shout to them, "My grandfather must have a reason for saying this. What are you talking about?"

Lao Xiang banged his cane in his hand and shouted at the top of his voice: "No matter what the noise, just shut up."

The voices of the villagers slowly dimmed until they became quiet.

Mr. Xiang looked at the villagers and said in a calm voice: "Thank you family, we must save them."

It used to be three characters, but now it's six characters.

A dissatisfied villager expressed his dissatisfaction: "Why should we save them?"

Some villagers echoed: "Yes, why should we save them?"

Other villagers echoed in the noise.

"Shut up!"

Xiang Xinbai shouted angrily, and the scene that was about to start a quarrel calmed down again.

The villagers also bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing that Xiang Xinbai was really angry, they did not dare to speak out or even look at each other.

Xiang Xinbai looked at Xiang Xinjin beside him. Before he could say anything, Xiaoliu said: "Because the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and because of the human heart."

In an instant, all the villagers looked towards Xiang Xinjin.

Elder Xiang and the clan elders also turned slightly sideways and looked towards Xiang Xinjin.

Xiang Ci smiled. With grandpa and Xiaoliu here, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Xiang Xinjin's face was calm and his voice was cold: "We all know that Xiejia Village has a grudge against us. Before Jiang Hongli took advantage of the Xie family, he must have explored the relationship between our two villages."

"If we don't save Xiejia Village, Jiang Hongli can take Xiejia Village into his hands, and then attack Sunjia Village first."

"Once Sunjia Village is in his hands, Jiang Hongli will lead the people from Xiejia Village and Sunjia Village to attack our Xiangjia Village."

"Jiang Hongli doesn't need to say anything else. He just said that our village has a lot of food, and Xiejia Village and Sunjia Village will rush over."

"No matter how high our city wall is, it can't withstand the large number of people. They have many tricks."

"Our situation at that time was very dangerous, even a ruined village."

There were gasps from the crowd, and everyone was whispering. You said a few words to me, and I said a few words to you. They were all horrified.

Is it really that scary?

The villagers who were confused and disagreed shouted: "Xiejiacun may be with Jiang Hongli, how could Sun Lizheng be with Jiang Hongli?"

Xiang Xinjin asked him, "Why not?"

The villagers scratched their necks and shouted: "Why?"

Xiang Xinjin's voice was cold: "You believe that Sun Lizheng is not someone who will follow Jiang Hongli, then why don't you believe that Li Zheng in your village is good for you?"

The villagers were speechless and had nothing to say.

Xiang Xinjin did not let them wait, so he expressed his thoughts: "We worked hard to build the city wall to prevent outsiders from robbing our food."

"You want to thank your family and Jiang Hongli for the city wall you have worked so hard to build and the food you have stored?"

The villagers shouted: "I don't want to."

They were very angry. Their hard work was not to make wedding dresses for others.

Xiang Ci thought about how her father, second and third uncles worked hard to build the city wall, only to have it taken away by others. It made her heartache.

"Of course we can't let them take it away." Xiang Ci shouted softly.

Ye Kai's eyes suddenly looked here, and when he looked at Xiang Ci, he raised his eyebrows slightly and raised the corners of his mouth.

Xiang Ci smiled generously at Ye Kai, who was looking over, and pointed at Xiang Xinjin, asking Ye Kai to listen to Xiao Liu.

Xiang Xinjin then said: "Since it can't be done, then the people of Xiejia Village cannot be allowed to become Jiang Hongli's thugs, but they must become the alliance village of our Xiangjia Village."

"The villages in these big mountain valleys all know that our Xiangjia Village and Xiejia Village have enmity."

"If we save even the villagers of Xiejia Village who have enmity with us, then other villages will have a favorable impression of us after knowing about it, instead of joining others to attack our Xiangjia Village."

"Because they all want to come to our Xiangjia Village when they are desperate."

"Don't forget that the rice in our village can mature in one and a half months, or even earlier. They all know that we have food."

"Instead of letting other villages unite to attack our Xiangjia Village, it is better to help Xiejia Village resist Jiang Hongli and let them understand that we are not easy to bully, but we are not cold-blooded. You don't have to come to rob us."

"By helping Xiejia Village, you are helping us."
