Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

He Fengyang had no choice but to bite the bullet and take everyone away.

More than 40 people formed a long team and walked towards the county dejectedly like fleeing refugees.

Not long after we left, the sky became completely dark.

Gu Chan and her four companions as well as Zhao Erniu and his wife walked at the end of the team.

Zhang Wanshan quietly reached into his arms, took out half a cake and quietly stuffed it into Gu Chan's hand, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You must be hungry! Eat this half cake quickly."

"Grandpa, you eat it. I had mung bean cake in the county government office during the day, so I'm not hungry now." Gu Chan pushed the cake back.

Zhang Wanshan was reluctant to eat it, so he secretly hid the cake and asked, "By the way, did you hand in the spiritual herbs today?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa. The county magistrate won't let me send him spiritual herbs anymore."

"Ah? Why?" Zhang Wanshan wondered.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes and said cunningly, "I have something on him, he won't dare to bully me again."

"Oh! So that's it! Then you have to be careful in the future." Zhang Wanshan breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

Gu Chan spread her hands and said, "Grandpa, we are in this state now, what is there to be afraid of? I think the ones who should be afraid are the rich people in the county."

"That's right. Once the Diyue Kingdom attacks the county, they will lose their money, but they may even lose their lives." Zhao Erniu walked in front and laughed.

When everyone heard what he said, they all laughed out loud, feeling that they were able to find joy in misery.

Ding Meihua looked worried. "We are so old now. We can't do anything except ironwork to make a living. We have no place to stay in the county, and we can't do ironwork! And we have two children to take care of. What will we do in the future?"

"Don't worry, grandma. The eldest brother is very capable. We won't starve when we get to the county." Ma Zheng comforted her in time.

Gu Chan exchanged glances with him, and both of them smiled.

Gu Chan looked at Zhao Erniu, "Where are you two? What will you do when you get to the county?"

"Don't worry, we bought a small shop in the county a long time ago. Although it's just a shop, it's enough for living and living. Let's settle down first." Zhao Erniu replied in a low voice.

"As expected of the local boss of Jiuyang Village! He's quite far-sighted." Gu Chan couldn't help but praise him.

In the past, she just thought that Zhao Erniu was a bad guy, but now she realized that he was a bit smart.

Originally, Jiuyang Village was located in front of the big forest, and was separated from the enemy country Diyue by the big forest in the middle. Once Diyue Country invaded the border, the village would definitely be the first to suffer.

So it was the right thing for Zhao Erniu to save money first and buy a small shop in the county.

As for the fact that no one has ever heard him talk about this before, it just goes to show off one's wealth.

Born in a small mountain village like this, if you have money, you should be low-key and there is no need to show off.

Zhao Erniu laughed and calmed down. He walked on hand in hand with Li and no longer mentioned the small shop in the county.

Then everyone felt relieved and continued on their journey, quickening their pace.

Two hours later, everyone finally arrived at the county under the leadership of the village chief.

The officers guarding the city gate were stunned when they saw this group of people coming.

The city guard came down from the top of the city wall and asked, "Where are you from? Why are there so many of you?"

"Sir, please go and tell the county magistrate as soon as possible that the Jiuyang Village on the border has been occupied by the cavalry of the Diyue Kingdom. Their general asked us to come to the county to spread the news that the land and the entire forest will belong to the Diyue Kingdom from now on." He Fengyang hurried forward to explain.

When the city guard heard this, he asked in surprise, "Are you telling the truth?"

"It's absolutely true. How dare I lie?" He Fengyang patted his chest and guaranteed.

The city guard panicked and shouted, "Someone come quickly to the county government office to inform the county magistrate that the Diyue Kingdom launched a surprise attack and occupied the Jiuyang Village on the border."

"Yes." A soldier responded and rode quickly to the county government office to report.

The city guard led a group of officers and began to interrogate the villagers, fearing that there might be spies among them.

After making sure everyone was okay, they were allowed to enter the city one by one.

After entering the city, Gu Chan couldn't help but snorted, "They didn't even know they were occupied. No wonder Diyue Country dared to attack the border of Tiancang Country. The defense of this border is too lax. If it continues like this, the border will be destroyed sooner or later."

"Boss, don't talk nonsense. We still have 50,000 troops stationed on our border, and the Diyue Kingdom won't dare to start a war easily." Ma Zheng quickly reminded.

"Tsk! They've bullied you to such an extent, yet you still don't dare to fight back!" Gu Chan complained angrily.

Ma Zheng smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

At this time, the village chief stopped and shouted to everyone, "Everyone, let's say goodbye now. Jiuyang Village will be gone, and I will no longer be the village chief. Let's part ways here in peace! I wish you all a good life in the future."

"Ah? Village chief, you don't care about us anymore?"

"Yes, Village Chief, we all followed you to the county, you have to help us find a place to stay!"

"We don't have any relatives or friends in the county!"

The villagers immediately started shouting in dissatisfaction.

He Fengyang's face darkened and he roared, "I have several people in my own family, and I can't even take care of them all, so how can I take care of you? Stop talking nonsense, figure it out yourself!"

After saying that, the village chief took his son, daughter-in-law and two little grandsons and left everyone behind.

The villagers stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Zhao Erniu looked at Gu Chan and the other three and whispered, "This old man, others may not understand him, but how can I not understand him? He bought a big house in the county three years ago. In the past three years, he secretly transported all the valuables from his hometown in Jiuyang Village. Otherwise, how could he be as calm as he is now."

"Never mind him, let him be! Let's think about what to do with these villagers." Gu Chan was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see these villagers.

Zhao Erniu immediately reprimanded, "Your ability is limited, and you can only do so much. Can you manage so many people now? It's good enough that you can manage yourself. If you really want to help them, you have to wait until you have a good life in the county."

"..."Gu Chan.

"Let's go! The four of you come with us to the shop and rest for a night. We'll think of a solution tomorrow." Zhao Erniu was still loyal and did not abandon Gu Chan and the other three.

Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua thanked him repeatedly.

Gu Chan shook her head at him and said, "We won't go with you. You two should run the store and settle down first."

"Where are you going then?" Zhao Erniu asked.

"Let's go to Kaiyuan Pharmacy. Zhou Dachuan will definitely help me." Gu Chan replied.

Zhao Erniu nodded, immediately said goodbye to Gu Chan and the other three, and left with his wife Li.

Gu Chan stood there and looked at these poor villagers. Finally, she could only say sorry in her heart, then quietly left with Ma Zheng and the other two and rushed to Kaiyuan Pharmacy.
