Chapter 27 You are dead

"Good evening, townspeople. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my announcement. I am the daughter of the mayor, Nancy Green. First of all, I will tell you a sad news." Nancy stood on the temporary platform, her mouth was a little dry, and she took a deep breath and paused for a long time before continuing.

"You are dead."

A scream of surprise came from the crowd. Old Man Henry, who was holding the shotgun, looked particularly bad. He raised the shotgun and stared at Nancy fiercely, scaring her to almost jump off the stage.

Zero smiled secretly. No matter how many times she thought of this passage, she wanted to observe a moment of silence for Nancy. If Bai Ye hadn't insisted, she wouldn't have said it anyway.

The noise in the crowd became louder and louder, but their attention was also shifted from the bags of food behind Bai Ye and Zero to Nancy.

People had fierce eyes, and they had no good feelings for the mayor's family, who had a look of "If you don't explain clearly, you'll kill you" and glared at Nancy.

"Please forgive me for using such cruel sentences, because you don't know that Greentown will be in trouble this winter - like three years ago, this even more terrible avalanche will devour us all!"

She tried to make her tone as tragic as Bai Ye said, but she really couldn't understand the usefulness of these crazy statements that made the townspeople hate themselves.

A strong exclaim erupted from the crowd again, but this time it had a more complicated voice of anger. They felt that Nancy was spending time, scaring herself with the avalanche they feared, and with the tragedy of three years ago they wanted to forget.

"Then you can use your strong financial and material resources to sign a longer contract with the Greens? How long will it take this time, three hundred years, or one thousand years? Or will we let our descendants serve your Greens?" A bald man stood in the crowd. He was wearing a coarse linen and hugged his shoulders with his hands and sarcastic at Nancy.

Bai Ye recognized him, and the most intense person in the daytime shouted that Windsor was burned to death, and his expression was like someone else owing him a lot of money. His speech instantly ignited the dissatisfaction of the townspeople with the Green family. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and shared the same hatred of the enemy, hoping to rush forward and tear Nancy apart.

Three years ago, an avalanche attacked the town of Green. The townspeople who were still immersed in the loss of their loved ones and were forced to sign an unequal contract with the Green family for a hundred years in order to make a living. All the gains of labor and all the hard work belonged to the Green family.

This was what Nancy stammered when she came back. Obviously, she felt extremely ashamed of her family's unequal treaty, but as one of the beneficiaries, she really couldn't stand on the opposite side and criticize it.

"This time the avalanche will be worse. It will swallow the town directly. On the morning ten days after we are still immersed in our dreams, it will destroy your home and kill your loved ones again!" Nancy shouted selflessly. She wanted to get into the snow. This statement of death improvised by Bai Ye was ashamed to speak out as the dance script Molias once staged.

"Our future mayor is still very talented in speaking." Bai Ye smiled slightly, amazed by Nancy's exaggerated expression and movements. He looked at Zero who was still smirking. At this time, she was like a normal girl, beautiful and pretty.

"Three years ago, you were extremely scared and extremely scared when facing such a disaster. You watched it take away everything from you with your own eyes, but you survived by chance but lived in such a shadow for the rest of your life. Now, it is back, what are you going to lose this time? Everything you have, or your own life?"

Everyone was silent, they no longer smiled. The avalanche incident three years ago mentioned repeatedly evoked bad memories for many people. Once they remembered this memory, their mood became extremely heavy, their hearts were filled with self-blame and guilt, and the anger that gradually sprouted and grew like seeds.

Some people have lost their close relatives, some have lost their wives, and some have lost everything... But without exception, the people standing on the court have survived, and at the same time preserved the memory and pain.

"We don't want to lose anything." Lan Ni took a step forward. The shy and quiet doctor suddenly clenched his fists and raised a firm look on his face.

"We want to defeat the avalanche!" The children's childish and fearless voices resounded throughout the square.

This looked very strange. The men and women were silent, but the children were all in awe. They had never seen the avalanche and had no fear in their hearts.

"Even the children are not afraid, why are you afraid?" Nancy blinked at Lan Ni with satisfaction, and the latter's face was blushing and quietly retreated back to the crowd.

This is called Tuo, and Bai Ye seems to be called that. She now understands his approach, and uses declarations and various means to awaken the townspeople's memory and hatred of the avalanche, and then she can convey some of the information she wants to express.

"Miss Nancy, you said that the avalanche will come in ten days." The old hunter Henry, who had been silent, pushed away the crowd and walked out. He was next to him, followed by the beautiful widow Mrs. Ross, but at this moment, although Mrs. Ross's eyes were confused, she unexpectedly did not make a big fuss.

Here comes! Nancy took a deep breath, which was almost the same as the expected progress on the manuscript.

"Yes, we are sure that the avalanche is about to come in ten days, and it is a devastating avalanche!" Nancy did not show weakness, and took a step forward to look at Mr. Henry.

Mr. Henry was one of the earliest townsmen in Greentown. He was very prestigious among the townsmen. When he spoke, everyone quietly stopped talking.

"Do you have any evidence? Just by your few words tonight, will all of us give up everything here and go to another town to hide from the avalanche that will not come?" Old Man Henry's question was also everyone's question. Although this seemed to be harmful to Nancy and was not beneficial, he did not believe that things would be so simple.

"Yes, you don't show evidence, but you keep saying that there is an avalanche here. How can we believe you?" The bald man echoed, and the same shouts sounded in the crowd. They want to see the evidence, the evidence of the arrival of the avalanche.

Nancy began to admire Bai Ye in her heart. She secretly turned her head to see the handsome boy standing side by side with Zero, and spread the parchment paper that she had been holding tightly in her hands towards everyone.

This is the stamp document obtained by Bai Tian Bai Ye from her mother, which states the information that the avalanche is about to arrive in ten days.

Old Mr. Henry went up to take the document and looked at it carefully, and then passed it to the townspeople. The seal on it was indeed unique to Mrs. Green, which means that the news should have been confirmed by her.

This is even more strange. Mr. Henry, like everyone else, always felt that Nancy was planning something bad, but no matter whether the news of the avalanche was true or not, she seemed to be unable to get any benefits.

Is it true that the avalanche is coming?

The townspeople also thought of this, and a terrifying coldness arose from behind.

"The news is true, so what should we do? You said that this avalanche is devastating, so we can only leave Green Town and go to take refuge in other towns." Old Man Henry frowned. He was rational and good at thinking. There was no definite evidence. It would be difficult for half of the townspeople to truly believe these illusory things alone.

It was difficult to get them to give up everything here and escape to other places. Secondly, he felt that Mrs. Green did not really believe in avalanches, and it was difficult for them to leave the town.

Nancy, or what were the two nobles who suddenly appeared in Greentown? Old Man Henry pinched his hunting rifle tightly and felt confused for the first time.

"I will not leave the town, there is everything I have." The bald man shook his head. All his belongings are here. It will be difficult to bring too many things to leave the town and go to other places. Whether the avalanche will come is an uncertain thing.

What if Nancy deceived everyone away and then took over all their only possessions?

"You don't need to leave." Bai Ye knew it was his turn to appear, so he walked up to the platform and gently patted Nancy on the shoulder.

Nancy breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of thing really didn't suit her. She had been studying alone in the room. Tonight's declaration made her feel exhausted.

"Because we have to face the avalanche and defeat it." Bai Ye chuckled and said slowly, as if he was just talking about a simple thing.
