Chapter 796: a child was kidnapped
Village head Chou was ruthlessly scolded by her superiors when she went to the town, she was scolded until she could not even raise her head in front of anyone, on the other hand, Village head Gu who was in charge of the Big River Village was praised again and again because of her timely response which saved the villagers from drowning.When she was getting scolded Village Head Chou was rather furious, how was she supposed to know that a flood was coming? Her village was too far from the Big River Village and it was impossible for her to know that a flood was coming, but Village head Gu was different, she knew that a flood was coming and the price of the grains was going to hike up but instead of helping them as neighbours, she selfishly kept this news to herself and then to make it worse she watched her getting humiliated by the superiors without saying anything.
If Village head Gu had told her that there was going to be a flood, wouldn’t she have prepared as well? Then she and the villagers of the Big Stone Village wouldn’t have to worry about such things!
When Hu Pan and Hu Bing heard the words of Village head Chou, they shivered in fright. They did not want their children to be sacrificed like the children whose parents could not save them, though they were sick, they and their wives had not indulged in the activities of eating human flesh together with the rest of the villagers, how can they watch their children be eaten by these demons?
Hu Pan gritted his teeth for a long time, in the end under the pressure of the villagers he could not help but say, ” Village head Chou, the villagers of the Big River Village have a lot of food stocked up, when I went to ask for ration from my father, I saw that no one in the village was starving. They must have brought a lot of grains from the market and then stocked it all up, why don’t you take some of the stronger women and raid their village?”
” Brother?” Hu Bing was shocked when he heard his brother push their parents in front of the carriage like that, they were helped by their parents a lot of times, especially their daddies who would support them no matter what happened to them, how can his brother just push their daddies down the abyss like that?
Hu Pan also knew that he was doing something wrong but what else could he do? He was a father as well, was he supposed to watch his children being chopped up and eaten? The screams of the kids who were killed along with the mers still echoed in his ears, he was worried that if he did not find a way to distract the village head then the one who will suffer will be his children!
He could not allow it!
In his anxiousness or maybe it was selfishness, he completely forgot that his daddies also took a major risk when they gave away the grains which they had stocked up.
In any case, for the sake of protecting his family and his children, he completely forgot about taking care of his parents who were old and weary after taking care of him all their lives.
Hu Bing was stupefied, he wanted to say something but Village head Chou had already come up with her own plan, she banged her hand on the armrest and then sneered before coldly speaking up, ” I knew it, that village must have at least thousand of carries stocked up but they are not forking even a little bit for us. Even though they know that we are suffering they are not willing to help us, not even a little bit! If that is the case then they cannot blame us for being ruthless!”
…
That night a bunch of women including Hu Pan and Hu Bing’s wives lurked around the Big River Village but as they were trying to find a dog hole from where they will be able to sneak inside the Big River Village they realised that every path which led to the big river village were being guarded by a woman, and that was not all, the woman who was guarding the path was sturdy and twice as strong as them.
The women of the Big Stone village looked at each other, they wanted to sneak inside the village and steal some grains but from the looks of it, they might not even get a single piece of grain much less a whole thousand catties.
” What now?” Xiao Yu, the wife of Hu Bing spoke to the rest of the women who were looking at each other with confusion in their eyes.
” We cannot sneak inside the village, if we do then we might get beaten up,” said Tan Mo as she looked at sturdy women who were walking with a stick as thick as one’s arm, forget about sneaking inside if they so much as made a little noise then they will be beaten black and blue!
” But if we don’t bring anything back, Village head Chou will definitely go after one of our kids,” Xiao Yu said with worry lining her face as she looked at her sister-in-law whose face was also filled with concern.
Though the women of the Big Stone village were scared of Village head Chou, they did not dare get too close to those sturdy women who looked like they could beat them up with just one swing of their arms which was why they all turned to look at each other and came to another solution as they snuck out of the mountain.
” MY CHILD!!!!!!”
In the middle of the night, a wretched scream broke through the village of Big Mountain, many women who were sleeping in the house rushed out only to see a widower running after the women who looked sallow and weak.
” Someone save my child! She is the only reason I am willing to live! My child!” The widower screamed but the women who were carrying the ten to eleven-year-old girl were quick on their feet and soon ran out of the village.
