Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

The people of Xinyuan Village scoffed at their accusations, saying that no one in their village had ever robbed anyone!

If you want something from someone else, you have to exchange it for something of equal value. With water, the grain harvest of the two villages will be more than just 100 kilograms of rice.

People in Xinyuan Village think it is very reasonable!

Because Xinyuan Village produced a sergeant serving in the army, and there was one sergeant for every hundred people, what an honor it was.

In just two years, they had established a firm foothold in Xinyuan Village.

Nowadays, due to drought and water shortage, their village’s geographical location is even more advantageous.

The village chief said that this was God’s blessing to them, and it was also the confidence for them to fight against the two villages of Wujiawan and Heshanzui.

People in the other two villages had no idea!

The Xinyuan Village's act of not helping and taking advantage of the situation to rob completely angered the villagers of Wujiawan and Heshanzui villages, and the situation was tense for a while.

Yun Yu in Chi'an heard the villagers' report and realized the situation was urgent, so he and Hu Shao took five of his men down the mountain.

They rode at full speed and reached Xinyuan Village in just two days.

Seeing from afar that the two groups were about to fight, Yun Yu shouted, "Stop! Stop it, everyone!"

People on both sides stopped and looked at Yun Yu.

On the way here, Yun Yu had already understood the whole story. He said to the villagers of Wujiawan and Heshanzui, "You go back first. I will talk to the head of Xinyuan Village alone."

The villagers of the two villages trusted Yun Yu and believed that he could handle the matter well. They obediently carried their farm tools and dispersed.

Yun Yu thought that with his help, the problem would be solved quickly, but the village chief and villagers of Xinyuan Village refused to listen and did not give him any face at all.

"Master Yun, our village only has this one irrigation canal with water. If we divide it among the two villages, we won't have enough. Besides, we can't just give it to them for free. They have to compensate us for our losses, right?"

"Your losses?"

"Yes, because the water is diverted, what will we do if our harvest is reduced?"

"So, you want each household to hand over 100 kilograms of rice to you? Yun Yu laughed in anger.

Yun Yu had not expected that the people in Xinyuan Village would be so arrogant. They had behaved well in all aspects before, so why did they become like this now?

Considering that he only had a few people with him, he did so in order to stabilize the village chief.

Yun Yu came up with a plan and prepared to use a delaying tactic.

"Village Chief, I need to discuss this with the other two village chiefs and I'll give you a reply later."

"Then I'll go clean up the house for you."

"No need to trouble the village chief. Let's stay at my house in Wujiawan tonight."

The village chief still respects Yun Yu and Hu Shao from the bottom of his heart, but he will not give in easily on the issue of water.

After it got dark, Yun Yu ordered his troops to rush back to Longtan and asked Yun Mo to bring people for support.

The head of Xinyuan Village refused to give in and insisted that the other two villages provide food before digging the canal. This was not something that could be persuaded with a few words. If not handled properly, it could easily escalate into a bloody incident.

Moreover, we must not encourage this unhealthy trend in Xinyuan Village.

When he returned to Wujiawan, the village chiefs of the two villages were still waiting for him.

"Master Yun, when are we going to Xinyuan Village to dig a canal?"

Yun Yu did not tell them that the head of Xinyuan Village had refused. "The head of Xinyuan Village said that he needed to discuss it with the villagers and would inform us when the result was reached."

In this way, the villagers from the two villages were calmed down by Yun Yu.

The next day, everything was fine and we continued to carry water to irrigate the fields.

On the third day, the whole incident escalated unexpectedly because the villagers of Xinyuan Village laughed at the villagers of Heshanzui for carrying water for irrigation.

"Poor bastard, you don't even want to pay for the 100 kilograms of rice. You deserve to die from carrying water!"

"What? What did you say?" The villagers of Heshanzui didn't understand why he was being sarcastic.

The villagers of Xinyuan Village shouted, "Why don't you two villages hand over the grain quickly? Even Lord Lianyun has agreed to this."

Upon hearing this, the villagers threw down their buckets and ran towards the village.

He saw the village chief who was also carrying water to irrigate the fields in front of him, and said breathlessly: "Village chief, the people of Xinyuan Village have never agreed to let us dig a canal!"

"What?" The village chief was shocked, his hand holding the gourd water scoop froze in mid-air, "That's not what Lord Yun said that day."

"Village Chief, could it be that Lord Yun is deceiving us?"

"Don't talk nonsense! How could Mr. Yun lie to us!" the village chief said in a firm tone.

He would rather believe that the people of Xinyuan Village would go back on their word than believe that Yun Yu would lie to them.

"Village chief, what should we do now?" The village chief dropped the water scoop in his hand and said, "Let's go! Tell the young and strong men in the village to grab their weapons. Let's go to Xinyuan Village to seek an explanation."

The villager turned to leave, but the village chief stopped him and said, "Go and get the people from Wujiawan."

The villagers ran away with happy steps. He had wanted to beat up the people from Xinyuan Village for a long time.

When Yun Yu received the news, he secretly said, "Oh no!" and hurriedly asked Hu Shao to take people to follow.

When we arrived at Xinyuan Village, we saw a group of people holding various farm tools and confronting the villagers of Xinyuan Village in the threshing ground.

The villagers of Wujiawan and Heshanzui were all furious and often quarreled with the people from Xinyuan Village across the street.

"Don't get excited, listen to my explanation first!" Yun Yu squeezed to the middle and shouted loudly.

Both sides were angry and ignored Yun Yu who was standing in the middle. They continued to yell at each other and didn't listen to his explanation at all.

"Master Yun, please stay aside, don't let me hurt you later. Today we are going to teach those treacherous villains from Xinyuan Village a lesson!"

The people of Xinyuan Village were not willing to be outdone and jumped up and shouted.

"Tell me clearly who the hell is the villain!"

"Damn it, I'm talking about you!"

The son of the Xinyuan Village chief raised his hoe and smashed it towards the opponent's door.

The blood gushed out of the Heshanzui villager's head, and he fell to the ground with his eyes rolled up.

"Daquanzi!"

The villagers nearby could no longer suppress their anger when they saw that the other party had dared to attack him, "He beat Daquanzi to death!!"

With his roar, people from both sides rushed forward and started fighting fiercely, and the situation suddenly got out of control.

The soldiers hurriedly pulled Yun Yu and Hu Shao apart.

"What should we do?" Yun Yu looked at the two fighting parties, feeling anxious and not knowing what to do.

Hu Shao was about to speak when he heard a loud "bang" in the distance.

Everyone was shocked, and the fighters stood there in a daze with their sticks and hoes raised.

The sound of horse hooves hitting the ground heavily.

Then, a team of one hundred cavalrymen appeared in front of everyone.

The leader was Yun Mo. He was holding an iron pipe in his hand, which was the latest weapon developed by Yun Er. Lin Yinan named it the Fire Gun.

Yun Yu, Hu Shao and the others, who had just looked worried, breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Hundreds of cavalrymen lined up in front of many villagers, and then drew out the cold swords from their waists.

Yun Mo was riding on a horse, with a sharp look between his brows. His deep eyes swept over the villagers present. His powerful aura made people feel awe unconsciously.

The villagers who were swept by his gaze seemed to be shrouded by an invisible pressure. Their legs trembled, their knees weakened, and they almost couldn't help but kneel down.

After a long while, Yun Mo's expression was indifferent, and he said in a cold voice, "Village Chief, come out and answer."

The village chief of Heshanzui, the village chief of Wujiawan, stood up with a pair of panda eyes and bleeding nostrils, while the village chief of Xinyuan Village stood aside unharmed.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

There was an unquestionable authority in his voice.
