Chapter 424: Current Situation in Tongxiang
Now, God has rewarded those who work hard, and finally found a path!
But whether this path leads to Tongxiang Village is still a matter of debate. Read М
Wei Sanpao, who was behind Li Yi, naturally saw this path. For some reason, Wei Sanpao always felt that this path was a bit strange, and there were even some footprints on it!
"Brother Yi! Did you see that there are footprints on it!"
Li Yi and Wei Sanpao hurried to the path. Sure enough, there were quite a few footprints on the muddy road that had just rained!
It was obvious that someone had been here not long ago!
Li Yi squinted his eyes immediately. The footprints seemed to come from the mountains, and they were definitely not from the town!
The footprints were between Kaoshan Village and the valley, which means that there was only one possibility, that the footprints were left by people from Tongxiang Village!
So why did they come here after the rain? Did they want to enter Kaoshan Village? What was the purpose of entering Kaoshan Village? Did they encounter difficulties?
Li Yi sighed, feeling that the situation in the mountains was becoming more and more confusing!
Wei Sanpao carefully identified the footprints. It was obvious that these were made by straw sandals. It was also easy to tell that the residents in the town were all wearing cloth shoes. This was not difficult to distinguish.
"Brother Yi, what should we do now?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, it seems that we can now be sure that this road can indeed lead to Tongxiang Village!"
"So, let's go back first and bring all the food up, and we'll take care of other things later!"
"The donkey cart must not be able to move, so we can only think of other ways..."
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from behind, which sounded like the sound of stones rolling down.
Li Yi and Wei Sanpao immediately turned back, fearing that another landslide would occur!
As a result, the two turned back and looked carefully, and saw that it was a young man wearing a wrinkled but clean coarse cloth clothes, with some vigilance in his eyes.
Li Yi's first reaction was that this must be a villager from Tongxiang Village!
"Fellow villager, are you from Tongxiang Village?"
The young man remained vigilant, but nodded.
Wei Sanpao smiled and said, "That's right, we are from Kaoshan Village nearby! Hello!"
Kaoshan Village? Hearing this, the young man immediately said, "Kaoshan Village was washed away by the mudslide a long time ago! Who are you? I have to go back and call for help!"
Li Yi sighed helplessly and said, "The people in Kaoshan Village are fine, but the village is gone. The people in Kaoshan Village have gone to the town outside! They are all alive and well!"
The young man did not immediately let down his guard after hearing Li Yi's words, but asked vigilantly, "How can you prove that the people in Kaoshan Village are alive? What do you want to do here?"
Li Yi stretched out his hand and said, "We are people from the town. You should know the people in the town, right?"
"Yes, I know something!"
"We don't have any other intentions. We just brought some food here. It rained heavily these few days. Kaoshan Village was washed away by the mudslide. The mayor was worried about your Tongxiang Village, so he asked us to come and see!"
After hearing Li Yi's explanation, the man finally reacted!
But I heard from my family that people outside are not good people, so try not to provoke them. Should I believe Li Yi?
But if I don’t believe Li Yi, how can I solve the food problem in the village?
He came to Kaoshan Village to ask the people in Kaoshan Village to help get some food!
The food that was originally planted was buried by the landslide, and there was no way to solve it for a while!
But the people in Kaoshan Village are different. They all exchange food with people outside.
The village chief of Tongxiang Village saw that the food in the village was getting less and less day by day, and he was also anxious. He took everyone to the mountains to hunt, dig wild vegetables, pick wild fruits and mushrooms, but it was not a good thing to live like this!
And the most important point is that the salt is almost gone!
This is the most terrible thing!
If there is no salt, how can we live?
When the young man was hesitating, Li Yi said in a deep voice:
"If I am not mistaken, is the current situation of Tongxiang Village not very good?"
The man hesitated for a while, but nodded.
Wei Sanpao asked subconsciously: "Is the village okay? Is there a landslide? Is anyone injured?"
The man shook his head and said: "Two people were slightly injured, but it's no problem. It's just that our food is almost gone. It's time to sow now, but the land is buried in the soil and there are no seeds. We can't last long relying on the food we have saved!"
Li Yi frowned when he heard this. It seems that there is a problem with the self-sufficiency of Tongxiang Village!
Then his trip is very timely! I can help them solve the urgent problem!
Thinking of this, Li Yi said to the young man: "Don't worry, just trust us for now! I'll take you to see the food we brought! There is nothing better than being alive!"
Hearing Li Yi's words, the young man was still a little hesitant, but he still nodded.
Looking at the current situation, he can only choose to trust Li Yi. After all, Li Yi has life-saving food in his hands, which is much better than letting everyone in the village eat wild vegetables and fruits!
"Yes! I'll listen to you! But let me see the food first!"
Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief, and then he and Wei Sanpao took the young man back to the place where they had stopped to rest.
On the way, Li Yi smiled and asked, "What's your name? You don't look very old!"
The man smiled and said, "My name is Gangzi, I'm just 25 years old. My legs and feet are the most agile in the village, so I came out to find people from Kaoshan Village!"
Li Yi nodded and said, "I think the footprints are from more than one person. How many people came together?"
Gangzi scratched his head and said, "There are three of us who came together. The other two went to Kaoshan Village to take a look and then went back to find the village chief. We just learned that Kaoshan Village was buried by mudslides!"
Li Yi nodded. This made sense. It seemed that Gangzi was also ready to leave. He stayed after seeing himself and Wei Sanpao.
As they were talking, the three people had returned to the team. Seeing that Li Yi and Wei Sanpao had brought someone back, everyone's eyes became a little strange.
"Let me introduce you to everyone. This is a villager from Tongxiang Village. His name is Gangzi. We just met him on the path!"
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Someone from Tongxiang Village actually came out?
Chen Ruqing smiled and walked up to Gangzi, and extended his hand.
"Hello, my name is Chen Ruqing, the mayor of Jinyuan Town!"
