At this time, in the Lian tribal clan's Patriarch compound.
"What!? That slut Jiang Xiaorou ran away? "
When Lian Chengyu heard the news, he crushed the teacup in his hand!
"Pa!"
The boiling hot tea splashed out, giving Zhao Tiezhu a fright.
He did not know why Lian Chengyu was so angry. In fact, Lian Chengyu had an inferiority complex and was a proud person. He would feel inferior in front of a large tribe's pride, but in front of the poor people of the Lian tribal clan, he would never do anything that would damage his pride.
For example, although Lian Chengyu wanted Jiang Xiaorou, he had never shown it in front of his subordinates. It was like an emperor suddenly fancying a palace maid, he would not pursue her.
How could a commoner be worthy of his pursuit?
So Zhao Tiezhu did not know what Lian Chengyu was thinking about Jiang Xiaorou. Even now, he was still in a daze. Why was Lian Chengyu so angry when Jiang Xiaorou ran away?
"Leave!" Lian Chengyu waved his hand, his face was gloomy. He did not expect the slut to be so stubborn. She would rather die than be mine!
Lian Chengyu was so angry because of Jiang Xiaorou's outstanding looks and temperament, which made him covet her.
Secondly, which was the most crucial reason, was that Lian Chengyu lived in the resource-poor Lian tribal clan. For a long time, he could not obtain many things he wanted. He could only watch others squander them, while he had to bow down to a large tribe's pride for a little bit of resources. Over time, he had developed a strong possessiveness.
He wanted to get his hands on things that didn't belong to him, and things that were supposed to belong to him were his exclusive property, and no one could touch them.
To Lian Chengyu, Jiang Xiaorou belonged to the Lian tribal clan, so naturally she was his exclusive property.
It was fine if he could not eat other people's things, but everything in the Lian tribal clan was his. To let her run away, what could make him angrier than that!
"That slut might already be dead."
For a fifteen-year-old girl to run alone into the vast wilderness, it took a lot of courage. Running away was equivalent to suicide.
It was also impossible to send people to search for her. The Great Wilderness was so vast, who knew which direction Jiang Xiaorou had run off to?
Furthermore, he only had a few dozen people from the warrior preparation camp to mobilize. If he mobilized them, a few might die, and that would not be worth it.
News came one after another, and soon, Lian Chengyu received a second report.
That was, the able-bodied men who had taken the Blood Thinning Pill had finally fallen sick! In fact, the duration of their illness was already much later than Lian Chengyu had originally predicted.
Their bodies were weak and feeble, and when they coughed, they coughed up blood.
These able-bodied men were the pillars of their families. They had hoped to earn some extra rations by refining the desolate bones.
But now, their family was basically finished!
These days, due to the lack of food, a small number of people in the Lian tribal clan had died of hunger and cold.
The first to die of starvation were the old, weak, sick, and disabled.
Those families with able-bodied men could barely survive, but without any able-bodied men, their future was unimaginable!
As for this, the upper echelons of the Lian tribal clan did not come forward to appease them. They did not give any rations to the able-bodied men, because to Lian Chengyu, these people would not last long before they died. They had lost their value.
The little rations left in the tribe had to be used to recruit able-bodied men to refine the desolate bones.
Of course, after crippling the first batch of able-bodied men, the second batch of able-bodied men would not be able to recruit any good ones. But it did not matter, the desolate bones were about to be refined.
The upper echelons of the Lian tribal clan were cold and heartless, but the people were kept in the dark. They did not know the truth, because Yi Yun was the scapegoat.
The desperate families of the able-bodied men came to the Patriarch's compound to get rations, and to see if they could get the Blood Thinning Pill that had "saved" their men's lives.
Of course, in the eyes of these families, it was a life-saving "divine pill".
But the upper echelons of the Lian tribal clan ignored these requests. There was a limited number of Blood Thinning Pills, and they needed to overdraft one's life force to have an effect. How could they waste it on people who were about to die?
As the spokesperson, Zhao Tiezhu stood arrogantly on the stage, looking down at the families of the able-bodied men.
He was once a member of the poor, but now, Zhao Tiezhu felt that he was no longer a poor person. He had broken away from the boundaries of the poor, and was a completely different species from these ant-like creatures.
He was now Lian Chengyu's subordinate, but when Lian Chengyu became a warrior of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, or even the legendary "Kingdom Knight", he would be the Kingdom Knight's servant!
What was the concept of a Kingdom Knight's servant? A Prime Minister's concierge was a third-grade official. In the future, Zhao Tiezhu would have three wives and four concubines, making his career meteoric! How could he be lumped together with these bumpkins who dug for food in the soil?
"What's with the noise! What's with the noise! You bumpkins still want a divine pill to save your lives? Do you think the tribe has as many divine pills as you want? Do you know the price of refining a divine pill? "
Zhao Tiezhu looked at the group of women and children in ragged clothes, his face full of contempt.
However, seeing that they were shocked by his words, a sense of satisfaction that belonged to a superior rose in his heart. "To put it bluntly, even if you add up all your lowly lives, you won't be able to exchange for two divine pills!"
"You want food? You want divine pills? All of you, give up! "
"The tribe saved your men once, do you expect it to be saved a second time? Your men were accidentally infected by the plague. It has nothing to do with the tribe. Who asked you to be so unlucky? If you want to blame someone, blame that kid Yi Yun. It was him who infected you with the disease. That little bastard, he's still harming people even after he's dead! "
Zhao Tiezhu fanned the flames with ulterior motives.
At this moment, a harsh voice sounded from the crowd, "Soldier Zhao is right. It's all because of that little jinx, Yi Yun!"
It was Lian Cuihua's voice. She had been mixed in the crowd, waiting for this moment to guide the public opinion.
"And that vixen, Jiang Xiaorou! Back then, our Lian tribal clan kindly took in their family. We gave them food to eat and a house to live in. But not only did they not repay our kindness, they even brought disaster upon us! "
"Fellow villagers, if you want to blame someone, blame those two jinx!"
Lian Cuihua shouted at the top of her lungs. At this moment, the families of the able-bodied men were in a state of despair. How could they tell right from wrong?
Besides, the truth of the matter was too complicated for them to understand.
"Now that bitch, Jiang Xiaorou, has escaped. She fled to escape punishment! Let's burn down their houses! Let her freeze to death when she returns! Starve to death! "
"Burning down their houses can also drive away evil. Let's go, fellow villagers!"
Lian Cuihua took off her ragged coarse clothes and jumped onto the platform wearing only a singlet. She waved her clothes vigorously like a little flag.
People had a herd mentality and were easily bewitched.
Besides, in their hearts, it was indeed Yi Yun who had caused their family's pillar of support to fall. He had caused them to have nowhere to go in the future, and they might even die of hunger and cold.
Under Lian Cuihua's deliberate instigation, the people once again besieged Jiang Xiaorou's house.
These people were either really angry, blindly following the herd, or unable to bear it.
But the outcome would not change. More than ten torches were thrown at Jiang Xiaorou's dilapidated house filled with cow dung.
Flames soared into the sky.
The crackling sounds were like the devil's. Coquettish fire snakes licked the sky. Billowing black smoke rose, dyeing the beautiful red clouds in the Western Sky black …
Not far away, Lian Chengyu watched this scene with a cold expression. Burning Jiang Xiaorou's house was not enough to vent Lian Chengyu's anger. It was more meaningful if he could find Jiang Xiaorou.
He lightly said to Zhao Tiezhu, who was behind him, "Pass down the order. Do not affect the desolate bones refinement. Also, if you find Jiang Xiaorou while hunting and bring her to me, I will reward you handsomely! "
