Chapter 1799: Chapter 1799: Calm Down, Nothing Will Happen
"Little Taotie, why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t you have something to say? You and Hua Jinyan were the first to discover this!"
Little Taotie shook his head: "Talking more is not as good as doing more."
In an instant, a group of adults felt ashamed.
They had spoken all afternoon, discussing fervently, yet forgot that speaking more is not as effective as doing more.
Compared to this, they were not as aware as a child.
Maybe children don’t have too much to worry about, thinking problems through seemingly simply, but this is actually more effective.
"Do Xiangxiang and the others need support?" Someone asked.
"Better go have a look; maybe after going over, you can help out."
At this moment, Xiangxiang and the others were indeed encountering trouble.
The village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only exit has been blocked. The village chief is ruthless, directly using explosives to blow up the mountain road, leaving no way in.
Actually, the village chief made a well-considered decision. With the road sealed, no one can leave the village, but similarly, outsiders can’t get in.
The village has land, crops, and springs. Villagers can be self-sufficient, completely unafraid of starvation.
The only worry is that over the years, because of preferring boys over girls, too many girls have drowned. In ten years, the gender ratio in the village will be imbalanced, and by then, if they can’t buy girls from outside, many will remain bachelors.
It seems there’s a need to advocate for nurturing more girls in the village.
If all else fails, implement a reward system. Whichever family has a girl, directly give money, raise the girl to marry, continue giving money. Surely, with a carrot leading the way, they won’t go to the extent of killing people.
The village chief doesn’t seem at all worried about what outsiders might do to the villagers, but rather is anxiously concerned about the village’s future, not realizing the village can hardly have a future at all.
He has always believed that the law doesn’t punish the masses. He believes he can’t be penalized, hence he continues to commit numerous heinous acts of harming others.
"Village chief, something bad has happened! Someone is digging the road, they..."
"Stop being so jumpy, it hurts my ears. Can’t you speak properly?"
"No, village chief, something big is really going to happen! So many have come! And there’s an excavator! I feel this time something major will happen, they probably really want to dig open the road!"
"If they dig it open, let them dig it open. How can they do anything to all the people in the village?"
"I heard those people shouting that they want to bring us to justice!"
"Ha! To bring us to justice? Our village has at least ten thousand people, right? Are they planning to execute us all? Oh, right, I heard those dumb tourists from outside say that outside it’s not popular to execute anymore, even the death penalty is gone, right? So compassionate! Then why should we be afraid, arrest us to go to jail? Stop joking, so many people, is there a place to confine us? The law doesn’t punish the masses, nothing will happen."
"Will nothing really happen? I’m feeling uneasy... Village chief, should we run away?"
The village chief glared at him: "Such a trivial matter, do they have evidence? Those foolish pigs have been slaughtered cleanly, the village hasn’t left a trace."
"But those women from outside in the village..."
"Even if this matter is discovered, what’s the worst that could happen? At most, send those women back. What can they do to us? We merely paid money to buy, not sell! Why would they not go after the sellers but hassle us! Okay, calm down, nothing’s going to happen!"
