On the way to escape from famine, I amaze the world with my medical practice

Chapter 71 There can only be one village chief

People in Xiema Village know what good things there are in the mountains.

It's just that at that time, people went into the mountains in groups, and when they encountered wild wolves, everyone dealt with them together. There were hunters in the village, so naturally they were not afraid.

But things are different now.

After hearing this, the old village chief sighed.

Chen Youcai was very anxious, "Village Chief, there are so many good things in the mountains. If we don't take action, we will have them evacuated."

The village chief said, "What are you in a hurry for? I asked you to go into the mountain, do you dare to go in?"

Chen Youcai hesitated.

The village chief said, "There are only a dozen of us now, and you three are the only ones who are young and strong. What use can the others do? If it is too risky, these dozen people may not have a way to survive."

Chen Youcai was impatient and couldn't help it.

"Then few of them go into the mountains, so how can they do it? Village chief, you are so timid."

Chen Jiang immediately said, "What did you say? Don't talk to the village chief like that."

The old village chief sighed, "If you can go, it's because you have the ability. You go back first. I've been thinking about this too these past few days. I know what to do."

He waved his hand, and several people left the village chief's house.

Chen Youcai looked unconvinced, and Yang Pingshun said, "Let's not be anxious. Everything depends on the village chief. It's already like this. It's not okay for our own people to cause chaos."

Chen Jiang nodded, and Chen Youcai snorted coldly, feeling that his life was too frustrating now.

After finally getting rid of the horse thieves, he still had to be bullied by these outsiders, and the village chief was still so timid and fearful. He really lost his temper at all. He wanted to see what ideas the village chief could come up with.

Ye Xiangxiang went into the mountains to find some more medicinal materials, while Ye Hongfu picked another basket of mountain products. Even if he didn't go deep into the mountains today, he was still very productive.

When he was about to go down the mountain, Ye Xiangxiang heard something moving in the grass. As soon as he walked there, he saw two rabbits jumping out of the grass.

Ye Xiangxiang was so happy, "There is a rabbit."

Ye Hongfu said hurriedly, "I'll catch him."

They don't know how to hunt, but the rabbit doesn't run very fast, so they might be able to catch it if they think of a way.

I thought it would take some effort, but unexpectedly, the two rabbits ran very slowly. The two of them caught up with them if they walked faster.

Ye Hongfu directly held down the rabbit, and Ye Xiangxiang quickly picked up one of them.

"Why is your belly so big?"

Ye Hongfu took a look and said, "She is probably pregnant with a baby, take her back, maybe she can give birth to a litter of babies."

Ye Xiangxiang couldn't bear to kill them when they were caught alive. These two rabbits grew very well and their fur was very smooth.

Back home, Ye Lixuan was so happy to see the rabbit, "It's alive, it's a alive rabbit."

Ye Xiangxiang smiled and said, "Of course they are alive. They couldn't run anymore, so we caught them directly."

"Grandma, let's keep it and don't sell it. This rabbit is so beautiful."

Ye Lixuan was a child after all, and he couldn't walk when he saw the fluffy rabbit, so he immediately begged Mrs. Wang. Ye Xiangxiang also helped to plead, "Grandma, let's not sell this rabbit yet."

Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded, "I won't sell them if you don't tell me. These two rabbits seem to be pregnant with babies. They have big bellies. After giving birth to babies, if Brother Xuan likes them, it's okay to keep them forever."

Ye Xiangxiang also meant the same thing. There were so many rabbits that it was not cost-effective to sell them now.

However, rabbit breeding is also quite scary. I definitely don’t have the energy to raise rabbits now. Let’s wait until we have this litter.

So the two beautiful rabbits were left behind. Ye Lixuan took another look and went outside to find rabbit grass for them.

Ye Hongchang went for two days before returning. He equipped the horse with a carriage and turned it into a carriage. He also bought a lot of things.

He sold all the mountain goods he brought with him for four cents of silver, and then exchanged them for rice grains and brought them back.

Although it’s not too much, there’s no cost, and we have to transport more of the goods from the mountains back.

After going into the mountain for several days, Ye Hongchang also explored the road. He did not forget the others and went to each house to tell anyone who wanted to go into the mountain the next day to come out and go together to find mountain goods.

After coming out of Er Lengzi's house, Ye Hongchang walked home. Before he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he saw someone standing outside.

As I got closer, I saw that the man was the old village chief of Xiema Village.

Ye Hongchang raised his voice and said, "Village Chief Chen, do you have a problem with us? Go in and talk."

The old village chief didn't expect that he would come out from behind. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Ye Hongchang said, "It's okay. Go inside first, sit down and talk slowly."

After entering, the old village chief found that they had already lived a decent life, and felt that he should have made such a trip a long time ago.

The Ye family were surprised to see the old village chief, but they were also very polite to him and invited him to go to the upper room to talk.

After sitting down, the old village chief said, "Brother Ye, I came here today to ask you a favor. Although the horse thief is gone now, life is still difficult for our group. It is late autumn now, and there are a lot of goods in the mountains. , but no one dares to go into the mountains casually with me, I thought..."

He was a little embarrassed to speak, so Ye Hongchang said, "Does the village chief want me to take your people with me when I go into the mountain?"

He said it directly, and the old village chief nodded quickly.

"Yes, that's what I mean. I know that a few people in our village spoke poorly before and had conflicts with you. You may not be willing to do so, but I am getting old and see that the last dozen or so people in the village have no way out. I can only feel anxious."

"Brother Ye, please don't forget the faults of the villain and lead everyone into the mountain. I'm begging you. You have the ability. It will not be wrong to let you lead me."

Although the old village chief is old, he has managed to survive from the hands of horse thieves until now.

At his age, he was still worrying about the people in the village. Ye Hongchang couldn't help but think of Ye Changlin, and he had a little more respect for him.

"Old village chief, this is not difficult, and you don't need to say the word begging," Ye Hongchang said.

The old village chief breathed a sigh of relief, and Ye Hongchang continued, "We will live in the same village in the future, and we should help each other. It's just that a few young people in your village seem to be dissatisfied with me. I have to think more about my own people and lead them." What should we do if something happens when we go into the mountains?"

You really have to be careful about this. Chen Jiang is better, especially Chen Youcai.

If Ye Hongchang hadn't saved him that day, he was almost trampled to death by a horse, but even so, he didn't feel grateful. Meeting the Ye family was like meeting enemies.

"Brother Ye, I have also thought about the problem you mentioned. If you want you to help, you must convince them."

The old village chief nodded and said seriously, "I have thought about it. This Xiema Village can only have one village chief. From now on, you will be the chief of Xiema Village."
