After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 417, Episode 0452: The Feud with Ga Zi Village

Fortunately, the army still had a deterrent effect, and the villagers were still somewhat wary. Both sides gestured wildly, trying to understand each other's intentions, and finally cleared up the conflict.

"This village is the closest to the military base, and it's also the most reasonable village on the island. Knowing that the village children stole our canned food, they even compensated us with a lot of things."

It was a case of "no fight, no friendship." After this interaction, the villagers no longer avoided them like the plague, and sometimes even took the initiative to exchange things with them.

To subdue all the islanders, a breach was needed, and that breach came along, which the troops seized.

They arranged for military doctors to go to the village to treat the people, arranged for people to teach them Mandarin, and also arranged for people to learn their language.

Then we talked to them about things outside the island, subtly teaching them about our country's laws and regulations, and telling them that the troops came to the island not to invade their land, but to protect it, to protect the country and protect them at the same time.

After conquering the first village, there's a second, a third... and so on, until the Nth.

When they arrived at Gazi Village, they were almost back to where they were when they first arrived on the island.

It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense at all.

They won't listen to you at all. Even with a translator, it's useless. They're stubborn and insist that the village and the surrounding mountains belong to them. The military has no right to interfere with them. If anyone dares to lay a finger on them, they'll chop them off. They'd rather die than give up.

Every time the villagers of Gazi saw the soldiers, they reacted violently, looking at the soldiers as if they were invaders, and some would even resort to violence when they got agitated.

In the villages nestled in the mountains, unless you can really go against morality and do *that* to them, you really can't do anything to them. After all, they haven't done anything wrong; they've just been living their lives peacefully in their villages and haven't actively sought trouble with the military.

In such situations, the best approach is usually a conciliatory one, which requires time and patience.

So when the textile factory was built and ramie was being harvested from all over the place, the army didn't forget about Gazi Village and assigned three soldiers to go there to harvest as well.

Then, the incident mentioned earlier happened, and all three soldiers were captured.

"The cause of the incident is a bit... well, among those three soldiers, one was a company commander under the Seventh Regiment, surnamed Deng, a very handsome young man."

“The situation in Gazi Village is a bit like that of a tribe. The village chief is the most powerful person in the village and can almost rule the whole village. His children are treated like princes and princesses.”

"The village chief has a young daughter who is very strong and burly. As soon as Company Commander Deng entered the village, this girl took a liking to him and wanted to keep him as her husband."

What Wang Datou didn't mention was that Deng Lian was his son-in-law. At that time, Deng Lian was already dating his youngest daughter, but Wang Datou himself didn't know that at the time.

"Company Commander Deng isn't blind. He came here to join the army, not to sell his body. It's one thing if he's good-looking, but to be so ugly and strong like an elephant, weighing nearly 300 pounds when he's less than 1.7 meters tall, covered in flabby flesh. Old Commander, you don't know, when I first saw her, I thought I saw a mutant."

The old man's eyebrows twitched, and he picked up his teacup, took a sip, and concealed the shock on his face.

To be described as a mutant by someone who has been on countless battlefields, how ugly must one be?
He couldn't imagine it.

But without him even having to imagine it, Wang Datou immediately described the village chief's daughter's astonishing appearance to him, using gestures and words. He first pointed to the area near her temples, "Her eyes are one here and one here, and one is bigger than the other. On her left cheek, there's a big fleshy lump like a sea urchin, covered with thick, black hair. Her whole face is crooked, her upper and lower lips are on opposite sides, and her teeth are even more... well, her nose is huge, and her nostrils are really upturned."

After describing it, Wang Datou felt disgusted with himself, swallowed twice, and continued...
You're saying that even a large country like ours with hundreds of millions of people is only just beginning to pay attention to this issue? Guzi Village, which can be said to have been completely isolated since its existence, let alone the concept of kinship, just the isolation itself means that generation after generation, it is impossible to avoid the problem of incest.

Other villages on the island also have this problem, and it's not uncommon, but it's not as severe as in Gazi Village.

Because there is something even more special about Gazi Village. It's like a small country in itself, where all the village officials are hereditary, and generation after generation they all talk about the so-called purity of bloodline.

In other words, in Gazi Village, marriage between people with blood ties is normal, and the closer the blood relationship, the more normal the marriage.

The more grotesque a person's appearance, the more the people of Gazi Village believe that this person has been blessed by the Dragon God.

"Dragon God?"

Why is the Dragon God being brought up again?

Wang Datou: "The people of Gazi Village have worshipped the Dragon God for generations, but..."

He wants to speak but stops, he stops talking but he desires again.

"But what? Speak up."

Wang Datou scratched his head. "The dragon god they believe in is quite different from our traditional dragon god. No, it's not just slightly different, it's completely unrelated."

He really couldn't describe it. "It's a bit like a spider with eight legs. Its head is like a snake's head, but not quite. It's a bit like a lizard. It has a tail, but I still haven't figured out what that tail looks like. Anyway, it's not the kind of dragon tail we think of. It also has wings, which I'm very sure of. They're bat wings. It has no legs, and its belly is huge, like a pig that's eaten too much."

Others are a hybrid of four different things, but this one is nothing like anything at all.

To put it superstitiously, that's an evil god!

The people of Kegazi Village all worship the so-called Dragon God, to the point of obsession.

Perhaps because the god they believe in is ugly, people in their village are more respected the more grotesque they are.

The village chief's youngest daughter was the ugliest-looking of them all, yet she was also the most respected by everyone in the village.

She took a liking to Deng Lian, but Deng Lian was unhappy. In the eyes of the whole village, this meant that Deng Lian didn't know what was good for him.

Which soldier could see his comrade being tortured like that and still feel no resentment towards the people of Gazi Village?
Let alone the soldiers on the island, the old man himself felt a dark cloud hanging over his heart as he listened, feeling suffocated and uncomfortable.

That uniform represents both honor and responsibility. Being a soldier of the People's Liberation Army is not easy, especially when dealing with such "uncivilized" people.
