Chapter 216: Promise

Xi Yue paused, turned to the door, and amplified her voice: “If I say, I can take you out of the predicament and rebuild your homeland-so that you will no longer be bullied by bandits, farming, and harvesting? You, Will it give us one time trust?”

silence. There was another silence.

After a long time, a hoarse voice rang: “Miss, if you can really clean out all the bandits in the place for us, and give us people a stable home and a peaceful living environment, I believe…everyone, I will sincerely serve you as the Lord!”



A young man in a tattered but long gown walked out. He was thin and pale, but couldn’t hide the flash of light in his eyes.

That beam of light is for hope.

“Mr. Xu…”

Someone in the crowd uttered in surprise.

“Since his wife was taken and killed by mountain bandits, Mr. Xu has been drunk every day and hasn’t left the house for half a year… Why did he go out today?”

“The mountain bandits have died too many, a total of seventy-nine… who hasn’t heard of it yet.”

The eyes of everyone were shocked and terrified.

Xi Yue looked at the young man.

“The villain Xu Zhiming.”

The young man raised his head and arched his cupped hands hard. A haggard face, bloodshot eyes: “Miss has the ambition to eliminate harm for the people. Although the villain has no power to restrain the chicken, I hope to do my part to help Miss!”

“You seem to… have read a book?”

Xi Yue thinks he speaks politely.

“Mr. Xu, the only one in our town who has read and learned Chinese.”

The short-footed old man explained from the side, not very embarrassed: “His father, when the town was not so dilapidated in the early years, he was the famous private school in the town. It is a pity that the bandits came and he… his family was ruined!”

Specifically, he could not say in front of Xu Zhiming himself, but from Xu Zhiming’s expression on Xi Yue’s expression, he could completely feel his repressed bitter hatred.

“It’s not early,” she said to everyone: “Everyone was tired all night, go back and rest!”

“Mr. Xu, and this old man… and those of you who care about this matter, you can leave a person who can be the master of the house one by one. Let’s sit and discuss the future.”

“My friends and I, promise: I won’t get you involved because of tonight’s affairs, and I can help you solve your worries.”

There was a commotion among the people, and Xu Zhiming and the short-footed old man persuaded them from the side, and most of them slowly dispersed.

Xi Yue took a look at the people who stayed in the shop. Except for Xu Zhiming and the short-footed old man, there were as many as 20 or 30 people, including a few women.

Among those who used to bitterly insulted Ding Ni before.

It can be seen that everyone talked about it, uneasy and uneasy, and they still looked forward to the hope she promised them.

“This old man, may I have your last name?”

A small group of people, such as Xi Yue, Gong Jiu, Xu Zhiming, the short-footed old man, and the bitter woman, could not sit down in the shop, and the rest all stood around. Xi Yue personally poured a glass of water for the short-footed old man, Xu Zhiming, and the bitter woman.

The short-footed old man was so frightened that he held his cup and stood up, “Don’t dare! Reply Miss: The old man’s surname is Shen, he’s an ordinary small farmer in the mountains, and he can’t afford to be Miss. Hello!”

Xu Zhiming was immersed in his own thoughts and did not respond.

But the sour woman’s tone eased a lot, and she interrupted and laughed: “Miss, it’s not that we choked with you. In fact, that bitch Ding Ni has done too much… the folks from the village, she He often guides the bandits to looting people’s homes!”

“Anything in the house that is a little good is gone by her and her concubine. I heard that there was a little girl who had just reached the end of the town at the end of the town, and she was guided by the bandits to snatch it away!”

“Miss has a good heart, but don’t believe that bitch’s rhetoric, just let her go!

“If you are fighting a bandit, you have to get rid of this bitch first, and beware of her going to inform the bandit.”

The people in a shop were silent, and listened to the woman’s babblings.

Xi Yue didn’t respond, and waited for her to complain all at once before she said, “What is the name of my aunt?”

“My surname is Hua. They all call me the fifth aunt of Hua, because I am the fifth oldest at home.”

Aunt Hua Wu feels that Xi Yue is kind, she doesn’t feel like a noble daughter at all. The more she speaks, the more comfortable she is:

“Miss said earlier: Not only to help us eliminate the bandits, but also to take us out of the predicament and rebuild our homes; let us no longer be bullied by the bandits, cultivated and harvested, and worked well… What does this mean? ”

Xi Yue looked at her somewhat unexpectedly.

She had said a lot in order to appease the people.

Everyone only pays attention to the status quo and the problem of facing bandits, but this seemingly bitter-speaking aunt Huawu, besides staring at Ding Ni, also pays attention to other important points?

All of a sudden, she had a better understanding of this skinny, shrewd woman.

After thinking about it, I found that other people started to care about this topic, they looked at her, took a drink, and put down the cup:

“When the bandits in this place are eliminated, my friends and I plan to live and work here in peace and contentment. Rebuilding our homes will not happen overnight, nor will anyone be able to do it.”

“This is not only your home, but it will also become our home in the future. I will invest and do my best to find new water sources for this small town and cultivate new wasteland.”

Having said that, she smiled slightly: “This place is barren, not only because of banditry, but also because of lack of resources. If I find a way to solve this for you, you will naturally cultivate something and gain something.”

Looking at the thoughtful people, I can say it more bluntly:

“Take a step back and say, even if you are not willing to follow us to fight for the unseen future; but I can contribute money or food, please help us.”

“Your hard work will be rewarded generously for every effort. On the other hand, hasn’t it achieved common prosperity and built a home together?”

Everyone was thrilled.

They didn’t quite understand the previous words, but they completely understood the last words of Xi Yue!

money! grain!

Why do people spend their entire lives? Isn’t it just for these external objects?

Xi Yue and his party, from clothing to methods, all showed their confidence. They fully believe that with the arrival of these uninvited guests, the town will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Since they can’t stop it at all, it’s better to go with the flow.

At any rate, the nobles leaked so little in their hands, maybe it was enough for them.

Aunt Huawu can’t conceal her greed at all: “Miss… But asking someone for help with what you said is temporary? Or is it long-term?”

Xi Yue smiled and said, “It’s not a temporary, but it’s not a long-term.”

“If you are all rich by then, I am afraid that I am rich, and I won’t be able to invite you all to help!”

“At that time, our small town is bound to develop to the outside world. Please more capable people to develop this small town into a thriving big city!”
