Chapter 1096 Betrayal

As the sky grew dark, Gao Tianwu led everyone back to Gaoyuan Village.

Although it was a busy day in the wind and snow, everyone was quite happy that the trip was fruitful.

After returning to the village, Gao Tianwu asked Xiaoguang to take the grain to the warehouse.

He had exhausted too much energy at this time and just wanted to go back and have a good sleep to recharge his batteries.

Xiaoguang took the order and took people there to store food.

Gao Tianwu didn't even take off his clothes, he wrapped himself in a quilt and closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a sound of yelling and cursing in his ears.

"You bitch, get up!"

Then there was a sharp pain in his body.

Gao Tianwu struggled to open his eyes, but found that he could no longer move, and was tied tightly by ropes!

He was shocked and turned pale. When he looked up, he saw Meng Chuan and a group of villagers looking at him with angry faces.

"What are you doing?"

Gao Tianwu was completely confused. He didn't know why the villagers did this to him.

"You fucking asked questions knowingly!"

Meng Chuan came over and kicked him directly, knocking him to the ground.

Several villagers came over and dragged him outside without any explanation.

Gao Tianwu was quickly dragged outside.

Gao Tianwu went outside and took a look. The scene in front of him immediately made his pupils shrink!

Hundreds of torches were lit in the open space in the village, and a large pot was set up in the middle, which was used in the village to kill pigs during the New Year.

Several of his brothers, including his younger brother Xiaoguang, were all tied up and kneeling on the ground.

Rebellion!

This term came to Gao Tianwu's mind immediately.

"What are you going to do? Why are you tying us up?"

Gao Tianwu asked angrily.

In response, someone gave him two sticks firmly from behind his hind legs, knocking him to the ground.

Meng Chuan came over, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Gao Tianwu, you have been dominating for so long just because you have special powers. All of us villagers have tolerated your brothers for a long time!"

"Today we are going to chop you alive to rectify the trend!"

Several of Gao Tianwu's younger brothers had been beaten until they were covered in blood. When they heard Meng Chuan's words, they could only look at him angrily.

"You fart!"

Xiaoguang's eyes were bloodshot.

"If it weren't for Brother Xiao Wu, Gaoyuan Village would have been wiped out by other villages long ago!"

"It's a shame that we even ran out to find food for you. This is how you treat us!"

A villager had a sneer on his lips. He looked at Xiao Guang and Gao Tianwu on the ground, with a proud look in his eyes.

Yes, in the most difficult days, it was indeed Gao Tianwu who led his brothers to protect the village.

At first, the villagers were very grateful to them.

But as time passed, the dangers around them passed, and they began to forget the suffering at that time.

As for the village chief Gao Tianwu, who had been strictly managing them, he gradually began to feel resentment in his heart.

Although they usually dare not say it out loud, now, the situation has changed!

They are the ones on top, while Gao Tianwu and his younger brothers have become prisoners who everyone wants to beat!

Seeing these people who they once could only flatter and fawn over now turn into drowned dogs, the villagers felt extremely happy in their hearts!

For most people, they don't care what the truth is.

As long as they see those with high status being knocked down, they will applaud, take a share of the pie, and wait for the next person to step down.

Several villagers rushed up and kicked Xiao Guang several times in the face. His nose was crooked and several of his teeth were knocked out.

Xiaoguang's mouth was full of blood, his face was swollen, and he could no longer speak a complete sentence.

When Gao Tianwu saw this scene, his blood boiled, he stared at Meng Chuan and shouted:

"If something comes to me, don't embarrass my brother!"

"Meng Chuan, don't you just want to be the village chief? I can give it to you and let us go!"

Meng Chuan's narrow triangular eyes shone with joy, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was like a cunning fox.

"Gao Tianwu," he lowered his head and leaned in front of Gao Tianwu and said with a smile, "You fucking have this day too!"

"I just can't stand you, why can you be the boss? Today I want your seat, and," he opened his eyes, revealing a fierce and cold gaze, "I want all of you lives!"

Gao Tianwu's heart suddenly went cold.

It would be fine if they were just taken away from the position of village chief. These villagers... these villagers actually want the lives of their brothers?

"Why???"

He raised his neck unwillingly and asked angrily.

"I have been the village chief for the past year and I have tried my best to ensure the survival of the whole village!"

"We protected the village and how many groups of homeless people were driven away?"

"We braved the wind and snow, and how much food did we find for you?"

"Are you that ungrateful?"

Gao Tianwu roared unwillingly, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

No one can accept being betrayed by the person he worked so hard to protect.

Hearing his words, the surrounding villagers looked hesitant on their faces.

After all, what Gao Tianwu said was true, and they had indeed paid a lot for Gaoyuan Village.

When several people around Meng Chuan heard this, they immediately shouted and cursed loudly.

"Shut up! You are from Gaoyuan Village. You are talking about protecting the village. Didn't the people in the village protect you? It is your duty to contribute to the collective. Now you are here to ask for credit. How shameless are you?"

"When you became the village chief, how much food did you steal from the village? Do you really think we didn't know? I saw you steal the collective food and run to hide it."

Gao Tianwu almost spit out blood.

Did Gaoyuan Village protect him?

How ridiculous!

He and his younger brother Xiaoguang are both strangers. After the end of the world, relying on their own abilities and a group of brothers around them, they could have lived well.

They were the ones who resolutely stood up to protect the village out of feelings for their fellow villagers.

Without them, it would be impossible for Gaoyuan Village to compete with several large and prosperous villages around it.

Not to mention that later there were gangs of homeless people who came to rob with weapons.

Why is it that now that it's in their mouths, the contributions of Gao Tianwu and others have become a matter of course?

As for the incident about him stealing food...

Gao Tianwu hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood, I didn't steal the grain, I used it to hire someone to solve the cockroach problem a while ago!"

Meng Chuan smiled coldly and kicked him directly in the chest. Gao Tianwu was choked back and his face turned red.

"Now at this time, who will listen to your nonsense?"

Gao Tianwu glared at Meng Chuan fiercely, but Meng Chuan suddenly squatted down, grabbed the back of his hair, and sneered in his ear and said:

"Don't you understand the current situation? Now that everyone has taken action, there is no way back. So no matter what your reasons are, you have to die tonight!"
