I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 201 Don’t Care About Ling

Gu Wenxuan stepped forward at the right time and said, "Don't worry, as long as you learn the skills well, you will earn back the money you lost today twice in the future."

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Wenxuan, are you going to teach us martial arts?"

Gu Wenxuan nodded, "You all know what the situation is like outside now. If this trend continues, there will be more and more refugees gathering here."

"They are poorly dressed, have nothing to eat, and have no place to live. They are starving and freezing to death, but we are living our lives well. In contrast, what do you think they will do?"

This answer flashed through everyone's mind subconsciously, "They will attack our village and rob our money, clothes, food and houses."

They live in troubled times, and although not everyone has been to the battlefield, everyone has experienced the evil of human nature.

Therefore, they know very well that if people are extremely hungry, they will not care whether other people who can live a peaceful life are innocent or not. They will just abandon all ethics and morality in order to survive.

Between life and death, it is too easy to cross the bottom line of being a human being.

Gu Wenxuan nodded, "That's right. As the saying goes, two fists cannot defeat four hands, and a good tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves. Even if all the men, women, and children in the village come together, it will be impossible for us to defend the village against refugees who are dozens or even dozens of times more numerous than us."

Everyone was immediately terrified when they heard this. Yes, no matter how powerful they were, it was impossible for one person to beat a dozen or even dozens of people! No, no, no, they might not even be able to beat two or three.

"Then, what should we do?"

"That's right, we can't just watch those guys kill our people and steal our things, right?"

Gu Wenxuan pressed down her hands, signaling everyone to calm down, "Of course not! The village head called us together so that everyone can survive as much as possible in the upcoming turmoil."

Bai Lizheng has always been very prestigious in the village, and the villagers trust him very much. When they heard what Gu Wenxuan said, everyone felt a lot more at ease.

For the sake of their own lives and those of their families, everyone cooperated highly with Bai Lizheng, Gu Wenxuan and others.

The patrol team was quickly formed. Gu Wenxuan called his deputy Bai Jingzhou to the stage and asked him to give a speech to a group of young and middle-aged men in the team.

Bai Jingzhou had already prepared a speech in mind. He walked to Gu Wenxuan's side, said a few polite words, and then began to announce the discipline.

He raised a finger and said, "First, all patrol members must obey orders."

More than 90% of the patrol members looked confused, "Order...what order?"

Bai Jingzhou: ...

He changed the way he put it, "Don't worry about orders. Just remember that after the team is formed, the captain's orders are absolute and must be obeyed. You must act immediately when the captain orders you to do something, and you must never do anything the captain forbids you to do. Do you understand?"

Everyone looked at each other and stopped talking.

Gu Wenxuan clapped her hands twice, drawing everyone's attention to her. "Don't worry, I won't order you to do anything that has nothing to do with protecting your lives, nor will I hide in a safe place and order others to die. If there is any danger, I promise you will see me in the most dangerous place."

"But in all matters related to protecting everyone's lives and property, such as team composition, team training, village patrols, sentry post settings, entry and exit restrictions, combat, retreat... you must completely trust me and obey me, and not question me at every turn, asking me to explain this or change that. Otherwise, I will not be the captain."

She won't do thankless work. If everyone only wants her to contribute but is unwilling to give her the corresponding trust and power, she would rather keep herself out of trouble with the small number of people who are willing to follow her lead.

This time everyone understood. To put it bluntly, Gu Wenxuan just wanted to have the final say in the patrol team. This was the right she deserved. Everyone looked at each other and then readily said that they would be obedient.

Gu Wenxuan was satisfied and motioned Bai Jingzhou to continue.

Bai Jingzhou raised his voice again, "Now let me tell you the second point."

"Second, without the permission of the village head, no one may allow outsiders into the village under any pretext, even if the outsider is your relative or friend."

Bai Jingzhou also gave them a very clear definition of "outsiders": "Those who are not registered in this village are considered outsiders to this village and cannot enter casually."

Someone scratched his head and said, "If my sister goes back to her parents' home, can't I let her into the village?"

"No." Bai Jingzhou looked at the young man who was speaking, "You have to ask the village head first. Only when the village head says it's okay can you let her into the village."

Everyone exclaimed "Ah!", obviously not quite understanding or agreeing with this rule.

Gu Wenxuan asked them, "You don't think that we are just going to send a few people to stand there to guard the entrance of the village, do you?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, isn't it?

Gu Wenxuan gestured twice, "We have to set up a roadblock at the entrance of the village. Otherwise, if bad guys want to attack our village, won't we have nothing to block or buffer us?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Gu Wenxuan then asked, "It's the same question as before. If your sister goes back to her parents' home and you open the roadblock to let her in, can you ensure that the bad guys wandering around won't take this opportunity to rush into the village?"

Everyone fell silent when they heard this.

They really couldn't guarantee it, but they still couldn't accept that their loved ones were standing outside and they refused to make way for them.

Gu Wenxuan understood very well what these villagers were thinking. After all, their true thoughts were written on their faces.

She said, “Of course I’m not saying that we must ignore our relatives outside the village.”

"If any of the villagers' relatives or friends want to enter the village, you should go to the village head first. The village head will naturally bring enough people to meet them. In this way, even if some bad guys want to take the opportunity to rush in, we can stop them outside in the first place, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Gu Wenxuan smiled and said, "So, as patrol members, you must not act on your own, because your momentary negligence may harm everyone in the village, including yourself and your family."

Everyone continued to nod.

Gu Wenxuan changed the subject and said, "Of course, what I just said, that the village head decides who can enter the village and who cannot, only applies to the relatives and friends of each household in our village."
