Chapter 5 Special Tasks!
So far, there are only 16 households and less than 40 people left, all of whom are native villagers. As for why not abandoning, on the one hand, it comes from the deep-rooted local complex, and on the other hand, due to the shortage of domestic labor, there is nowhere to go - no village will accept these wasteful women and children.
Of less than 40 people, half of the old people over 50 are old, and the remaining half are either women or children. Even the remaining three middle-aged men died after the attack of today's mountain guard dog, leaving only Uncle Big Bear himself.
After hearing the news, Xu Dong also subconsciously showed surprise and looked sideways at the man next to him: "Since they have almost lost their ability to work, who will survive?"
The big bear in North Point sighed deeply and said nothing.
Xu Dong thought for a moment and couldn't help but be slightly moved. Is it possible that the livelihood of nearly 40 people fell on the shoulder of the strong bear-like man beside him? Thinking of this, his senses of the sheriff suddenly changed greatly.
Mountain guard dogs attack the village once a month on average. After today's battle, the North Point Village will usher in at least 30 days of calm. This attack caused considerable losses in North Point Village. Not only did two middle-aged men die under the mouth of mountain dogs, but also the number of injured more than ten people. More importantly, the livestock raised in the village were almost dead, and most of them were eaten with only a lot of white bones.
It can be seen that the customs and habits here are generally the same as the world in which Xu Dong lived in his previous life, and they all pay attention to peace. Xu Dong and Da Xiong helped carry the body to the village tail cemetery, and then dug a pit to bury it. Then under the instructions of the big bear, the traps near the village were repaired again - in fact, these smart mountain guards hardly triggered these traps.
According to Uncle Bear, although the trap has little effect on the mountain guard dog, it is better than nothing.
When he returned to the village after dealing with these aftercare work, Xu Dong found that all the villagers were busy. They gathered the dog's body in one place, then set up a fire and skillfully removed the hair and broken it. Then someone picked up a bone chopping knife and cut the dog meat into large pieces and divided it out to each family. The person who got the dog meat immediately put it through it with a straw rope and dried it under the eaves as a grain storage.
It's obviously not the first time they have divided these dog meats in an orderly manner.
At this time, a girl with a ponytail and helping saw the big bear in North Point and immediately ran over. She seemed to have encountered a special strange thing and said, "Dad, we just found ten dog corpses in a house. The man who killed the dog was so smart that he actually arranged it in a water tank. A simple trap..."
This girl is between 16 or 17 years old. Her eyebrows are beautiful and her skin is particularly fair. The so-called whiteness covers three ugliness, which immediately gives people a bright feeling.
When the girl was talking, she glanced at Xu Dong next to her father and suddenly made a soft "ah" sound. From this point, it is not difficult to see that the girl was very smart and immediately knew that the big boy of the same age in front of her was probably the one he had just been praising.
blushed to his neck for a moment, but showed a little miserable temperament.
The big bear in North Point smiled and introduced it to both sides.
However, what makes Xu Dong speechless is that such a lovely little girl is actually called Shengnan.
In Dachen Empire, ordinary people do not have surnames. Only nobles or people with some influence in the local area can match the surname. For example, the Big Bear in North Point is because he is lucky to get this surname as the sheriff of the village, and his descendants, if they are not able to inherit his position, still do not deserve the surname of North Point.
Since he knew this rule, Xu Dong called himself Xiaodong when he reported himself.
The dog meat was quickly distributed cleanly, and even Xu Dong himself was assigned one. After opening and breaking the belly, there are also 50 pounds of bone and flesh.
During this period, something unpleasant happened, even adding insult to injury.
The village head of North Point Village actually cleaned up and left overnight. It is said that he will take office in the South Point Village, which was being rebuilt after the disaster. This village head is not someone else, but the owner of the country villa, the old man who peeked on the eaves but dared not face the enemy together.
Although the village head is actually unpopular, the village manager plays a pivotal role in the survival of the village in the law of the Dachen Empire. Once the position of village head is vacant for more than 30 days, the village will face a bleak situation where it will be either annexed by other villages or assigned to other places.
No matter what the outcome is, it is an extremely bad blow for Xu Dong - North Point Village will no longer exist.
Without the North Point Village, there would naturally be no prosperity of the so-called North Point Village, so 30 days have passed... Xu Dong's ending is naturally to return to dust, and jewelry to the pawnshop.
Of course, the village head position can be supplemented by recommendation or superior appointment. However, the biggest problem is that the establishment of this village is not enough for the number prescribed by law - it must have 50 households or 110 people. That is to say, in principle, North Point Village is no longer enough to be called a village, but just a settlement.
Even the stupidest guys in the village know what the departure of the village chief means - which means that in the near future, they will move to other places to live like goods, and they will never meet benevolent neighbors like the Big Bear in North Point.
In other words, once the North Point Village is erased, these villagers will die tragicly!
What they eat at night is dog meat. For these farmers, meat is a luxury word. Except for ignorant children who are devouring, others are like Lord Wax because of the heavy weight in their hearts.
That night, Xu Dong was placed in the firewood house of Daxiong's house in North Point. Early the next morning, he woke up. To be precise, he should have been awakened by the strange noise in the yard. Last night, he tossed and turned hard to sleep and didn't fall asleep until one or two o'clock.
Replace the old clothes of the big bear and put away the trousers he characterized as a characteristic of the village. Xu Dong rubbed his sleepy eyes and pushed out the door. A cool breeze came, but it was a little cold, and I was not sleepy at all.
A scene in the yard attracted Xu Dong's attention.
The big bear in North Point held the dark iron bar, and in front of him was a shelf with a long cloth hanging on it, and he kept swinging the iron bar to attack. Strangely, every time the iron bar touched the long cloth, it floated.
Xu Dong paid close attention and was shocked. It turned out that the iron rod contained strong power, and the strong wind made the long cloth completely unable to stop drifting. One stick and two sticks hit this power. Xu Dong asked himself that he could barely do it if he was a little familiar with it, but each stick can carry great strength, which is incredible!
Fifty minutes later, Uncle Xiong finally stopped moving. At this time, his whole body was soaked, and the ** itself was oily and shiny, and his developed muscles were more dazzling, which reminded people of Mr. Bodybuilding on the screen for no reason.
Noting Xu Dong, the big bear in North Point nodded and smiled, "Wake up? Did you sleep well yesterday?"
Xu Dong can only smile bitterly, no matter who knows that he only has 30 days to live, he will not sleep well.
"Uncle Xiong, I want to know something, which is very important to me. Please be sure to tell me." Due to the urgency in his heart, Xu Dong simply went straight in.
The Big Bear in North Point smiled calmly, "If I knew, I would definitely tell you all."
Xu Dong squeezed his lips and said, "From the spacious and strong village road and the number of houses, I can see that this village used to be very prosperous. I can't figure out what caused it to decline so much that even the village head ran away.
North Point Bear is not only a local sheriff, but also a native villager. He sighed and said.
There were only 20 or 30 indigenous families in the original North Point Village. Later, some villagers accidentally discovered the iron ore at the foot of Huiyun Mountain. The news somehow leaked out. As an important resource, iron ore naturally attracted official figures at the first time. Immediately behind the official are large and small private consortia and other ordinary people who smell the signs of wealth.
Taking this opportunity, the small North Point Village suddenly developed into flames.
Unfortunately, the good times are not long. Even the official experts specializing in prospecting mineral deposits believe that the iron ore that can be mined for at least 30 years is actually a silver rod wax gunhead, which is not useful. However, in ten years, the iron ore has dried up.
With the withdrawal of official or private financial resources, the momentum of the development of North Point Village was suddenly curbed. However, the North Point Village is backed by Huiyun Mountain, and although Huiyun Mountain is the dividing line between the Dachen Empire and other countries, its natural resources are quite rich. A large group of miners turned to hunt uphill and became hunters, and it was easy to make a living.
As a result, North Point Village still maintains considerable prosperity.
Just two years ago, it was exactly the year when the local villager Big Bear in North Point became a sheriff. Somehow, the forest rangers on the mountain suddenly died strangely one by one. When the village head found this situation, he immediately thought of the neighboring country that was friendly and harmonious with the Dachen Empire, believing that it was the other party who secretly knocked on a stuffy stick to prevent the villagers from hunting in the mountains by killing forest rangers.
However, as soon as the investigators who were good at this road looked at it, they found that the body was full of bite marks of mountain dogs, which ruled out the possibility of neighboring countries endangering the border.
I don't know what went wrong with those mountain watchdogs. They bit all the forest rangers to death at the beginning, and then attacked the past hunters. Over time, the hunters did not dare to go up the mountain, so they had to find another way out. From then on, they began the chapter of the migration of villagers in North Point Village.
The mountain guard dog even ran down the mountain regularly to attack the village. Although their number is much smaller than that of residents, these mad dogs are good at joint attacks, and each attack can always kill many residents.
And they are so cunning that even the defenders can't help it. They organized several times to go up the mountain to clean up. Instead of making any achievements, they took several lives and simply ignored them.
So, the North Point Village was getting worse and worse until Xu Dong saw it at this time.
"No more! It's heart-pated to say." Uncle Daxiong patted his buttocks and stood up from the stone pier in the yard. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he looked hotly at Xu Dong, "Xiaodong, you can kill ten mountain guard dogs. How capable do you must have to deal with Uncle Da Xiong?"
Hand in hand? Does this mean to have a test? Xu Dong subconsciously shook his head and waved his hand - what a joke, the body shape of both sides is not a heavyweight, isn't it to ask for trouble with him? How can Xu Dong do this kind of loss?
But at this time, Xu Dong only felt a trembling in his mind, and his silent mobile phone suddenly trembled at a high speed like receiving a call. This feeling was clearly a signal inspired by the task system!
At the same time, a piece of information flashed by:
You interact with the plane aborigines to trigger this special mission...
Rejecting this task will not be punished, but it will lead to a decline in the indigenous people's senses of you, which will cause unpredictable changes...
Do you accept it?
