It's too hard to escape famine, don't be afraid! The evil mother-in-law has a system

Chapter 266 Stone Village 4
Li Wei told everyone about Leopard's words, and Chen Zhuo was the happiest. After he saw the library, he couldn't move. He wished he could stay here for a while.

Both Luo Dali and Gang Zi still want to leave as soon as possible. Luo Dali is worried that after staying in Shitou Village for a long time, the villagers don't want to leave after they are used to this comfortable life. Settle here.

As for the people in Gangzi and Taohua Village, they think differently. They came out to see the world, and they stopped before they got out of the mountains. It would be better to be in Taohua Village. I am no match for my own kennel.

So, after a discussion, I finally decided to wait a few days until things were ready.

The next day, Li Wei took a few girls to the grocery store again. There were many clothes here, all made by embroiderers in Shitou Village. The color matching and fabrics were very different from the outside.

To really describe it, the clothes here are very famous and distinctive. Erhua likes a cloak, and Li Wei thinks it looks a bit like a sack when worn on her body. Such a cloak has a lazy temperament.

Once Erhua dressed up like this, she instantly felt different, she didn't look like a village girl at all. Li Wei also took out a rubber band and tied it on Erhua's forehead, which made her look a little more playful. There is another pair of leather boots in the grocery store.Erhua became the village flower of Shishizhai in one fell swoop.

Things in the grocery store can be bought with silver or exchanged for things. Luckily for Li Wei, silver is still a hard currency in this era and can be used anywhere.

In the end, I bought them all, and everyone else bought boots. A good pair of shoes is very important for walking in the mountains and forests. In addition, Shitozhai usually relies on hunting for a living, and there are many leather products, so the price is not high.

Everyone was wearing newly purchased outfits, when a bell rang suddenly, the expression of the people from Shitou village who were smiling just now changed immediately, and they immediately asked Li Wei and the others to go back to their room quickly and not to come out without notice.

Seeing that the people in Shitou Village looked like they were facing an enemy, Li Wei didn't dare to ask any more questions, and went back with the children.

In addition to accommodation, the houses in Shitou Village have always had a defensive function. To the north of Shitou Village, there is also a tower for guarding.

At first Li Wei thought it was to guard against wild beasts, but now she realized that besides wild beasts, she also had to guard against people.

Back at the village building, Mo Yujue and the others had already gone up to check the situation, Li Wei asked Lin Dahong and the others to go back to the house, and let Shi Shi and the others guard them, and then all the sons of the Gu family were called out to check the situation.

There is a circle of corridors outside the Zhailou, and there is a lookout on the wall. Standing at the lookout, you can have a clear view of the situation in the distance.

At this time, on the slope, the people from Shitouzhai fought with another group of people. Those people wore animal skins, had tattoos on their faces, and were tall. The lads were beaten helplessly.

The two sides said it sounded like a fight, but said it badly, it was a unilateral beating, and the party who was beaten was the people from Shitou Village. In the end, Shitou Village was beaten so badly that they blew the horn to retreat.

After that, he returned to the house, closed the door, and couldn't close it tightly.

But those big guys outside did not leave, but surrounded the stone village.

After all, Li Wei and the others are outsiders, and it is not easy to ask about the situation, so they just stay in the room and try not to add any burden to Shitou Village.

That night, when it was time to eat, I ate as usual. It seemed to be fine, but after some details, I found that it was very affected. During the meal, Ah Jiu, the cook who has always been enthusiastic and generous, was absent-minded. Wei's hands.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it," Ah Jiu quickly apologized.

Li Wei saw that her eyes were still red, she must have cried, she shook her head and said, "It's okay, just wash it off."

"Ah Jiu, go over there and rest for a while, I'll come here."

The aunt at the side sent Ah Jiu away and came over to help Li Wei cook.

"Don't be angry, Ah Jiu is just worried about her sister."

Li Wei asked, "What happened to her sister?"

The aunt let out a deep sigh.

"The savages came to attack our village. We can't beat them, so we have to agree to their conditions. This time, the condition of the savage tribe is that we send them fifty unmarried girls."

"Ah Jiu has two younger sisters, one is 16 years old and the other is 14 years old, which happens to be in this age range."

Li Wei was taken aback for a moment, not expecting this to be the case.

"Is there no other way?"

The aunt shook her head: "If there are other ways, the village owner will not be so embarrassed. You know, the village owner's granddaughter is only 15 years old."

"Those savages are tall and big. No matter how brave the young men in our village are, they are no match for them. If the fight continues, all the young men in our village will be killed."

"Have you dealt with wildling tribes before?"

The aunt nodded: "Our Shitou village is a deadly enemy with the savage tribe, and we fight almost every year."

"But before we lost, the savage tribe always asked us to provide some clothes or food to keep out the cold, so we have gotten used to it over the years."

Li Wei felt a little unbelievable: "You mean you give things to the savage tribe every year?"

The aunt nodded: "There is no way to do this. As long as there is no fight, we are willing to give up something."

"You never thought of resisting?"

Aunt: "You don't know that the savage tribe, all of them are tall and big. We also have some warriors in Shitou Village, but compared with them, it is a big difference."

"And the savage tribe still has the ability to train wild animals. If we really anger them, the consequences will be very serious."

From the way the aunt spoke, Li Wei knew that they were completely convinced of the force value of the wildling tribe, and they didn't dare to challenge them at all, so they were willing to send things to the wildling tribe every year. This was another kind of old coin policy.

It's just that so many years of worship have not received the respect of the wildling tribes, but instead made them worse. Therefore, the consequences of the Suibizhen policy at any time are bad.

Alas, Li Wei went back to her room. In the morning, she still felt that the life in Shitou Village was happy and comfortable. It is true that people have no foresight, and there must be near-term worries. Li Wei went up to look at the situation outside through the observation deck, and those savages were not far from the village. to 100 meters.

The fire was raised, and there were groups of three or four. What Li Wei wondered was that the people in Shitou Village were good at hunting and good at archery, so why didn't they shoot arrows?Instead, he was going to fight a physical battle with wildlings that he was not good at.

Could it be that he was really frightened by the force value of the savage tribe?
"I'd rather die than let my sister go to the savage tribe."

Li Wei was contemplating when there was a roar. Li Wei looked down and saw that it was a leopard. Although the buildings in Shitou Village were independent, there were small paths connecting them.

Standing here, Li Wei happened to be able to see the situation in several other buildings. There were many people sitting in the courtyard of the other building. It should be that people from Shitou Village were discussing countermeasures.

"Father, you asked me to take people out to fight those savages to the death. A man stands upright. If you want to sacrifice your sisters to survive, it is better not to live."

"Father, don't hesitate. Sooner or later, Shitou village will fight with the savage tribe. It's unavoidable. We can't just give in."

Li Wei felt that this leopard was really a man and could see the situation clearly, but looking at the other people in Stone Village, they obviously didn't think so.

"Stop him for me."

Zhong Wujue gave an order, and two people came out and grabbed the leopard.

"let me go."

Zhong Wujue stepped forward and slapped him.

"Just because you are like this, you still want to save your sister, and you don't know how you died."
