“This big brother, this old man, can you make way for me to go in and look for him? Looking for a friend.”
Meng Xun tried, but he couldn’t squeeze in no matter how hard he tried, so he could only speak.
“Go away!’
“Who doesn’t have a great aunt or great aunt in there? My cousin’s cousin’s house is useless in there!”
Meng Xun… What was this?
“I really have something urgent to do. Can you make an exception?
Meng Xun knew that some commoners were difficult to deal with, but he didn’t expect them to be this difficult.
“Who isn’t anxious?
“If you continue squeezing, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Meng Xun saw that many people were squeezing around because of him. He was already very impatient and did not dare to squeeze any further. He only hoped that Xiao Liuzi could run faster.
The villagers were also a little confused.
Those hundreds of people didn’t want to let Xiao Liuzi monopolize the turtle head, so they chased him together, running so fast that the mountains shook and the earth rumbled.
The villagers thought that the earth dragon had made a comeback, so they all ran out of their houses in fear and ran out of the village together. In the end, they were at the entrance of the village with hundreds of people. Xiao Liuzi was sandwiched between the two sides and trembled.
For a moment, the scene fell silent.
“I… I’m just going through the motions.”
Xiao Liuzi braced himself and said, then quietly moved to the side.
He was almost scared to death. Although there was a huge disparity between the two sides, especially the people from West River Village, even the children had been mobilized. It was really a sin!
What was even more sinful was that the side with more people still knew how to bring weapons. Everyone in West River Village had women and children in their hands. Who could they beat?
They probably wanted to escape before these people attacked. Unfortunately, they were a step too slow. The entrance of the village was blocked!
If they were to fight, he would definitely be trampled flat. He hadn’t even married yet.
After moving for a while, he realized that no one was stopping him. He rolled his eyes and ran away. He even turned around to take a look.
“That’s great! No one is chasing after me!”
“Not good! Not good! Enemies are attacking the village-
Xiao Liuzi raised his voice, hoping that Princess Ming Yue could hear him and quickly leave this troublesome place.
The old village chief had woken up early today and was waiting for people to come to register at home. However, when he opened the door, he heard a rumble. He thought it was thunder and wondered why there was still thunder since it was almost winter. The main reason was that it was raining heavily.
Just as he was about to go out and take a look, he heard Xiao Liuzi’s surprised cry.
Xiao Liuzi had almost reached the old village chief.
At this moment, there was no one in the village. Xiao Liuzi only saw the old village chief and walked toward him. “What? Kid, what did you say?”
“Save the princess!”
Xiao Liuzi said this sentence and continued to run toward the end of the village.
He was almost there. He could already see Princess Ming Yue’s house.
The old village chief was dumbfounded.
What was that kid talking about?
At this moment, he also saw a huge crowd at the entrance of the village. They were blocked by his own villagers.
Oh my god, is this a fight?
No, no, no, it didn’t look like it. Both parties were standing still and seemed to be talking.
Besides, he hadn’t heard of anyone in the village having a problem with the outside world recently. The nearby villages were all very friendly to the people in their village.
The old village chief frowned and quickly walked toward the village entrance. “Aiya, brother, you’re finally here. Everyone in Liwan Village has signed up!”
“Brother, brother, our Nanwa Village will also sign up!’
“Brother Qin, our East River Village has also signed up. We’re all old neighbors!”
“Don’t talk about useless things. If we’re talking about neighbors, our North
Village is the one!”
“Our village will also participate.”
The originally harmonious scene exploded like water in a pot of oil.
The old village chiefs head was buzzing when he was called ‘brother’ by them.
He understood that these people were here to mine!
MO Ruyue was also called out by Xiao Liuzi. Xiao Liuzi insisted that she leave through the back mountain. She was baffled and did not believe that anyone would want to fight with their village. She wanted to see what was going on. In the end, she saw the old village chief being beaten up. The crowd was buzzing, and she had a headache just looking at them.
‘Quick) quickly bring Uncle Village Chief out.”
MO Ruyue hurriedly ordered the four guards. The old village chief was old, he couldn’t be torn apart like this.
“Aiyo, bring me my copper gong, quick!”
The old village chief was rescued by the guards and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
With so many people, even if he shouted until his throat broke, he probably wouldn’t be able to do it. He could only take the copper gong.
MO Ruyue signaled for Wei Yi’s guard to go to the Village Chief’s house to get the gong while Wei Er, Wei San, and Wei Si helped to maintain order.
The villagers also understood that it was not because of the dragon that had turned the tables. They heaved a sigh of relief and brought their wife and child home.
“Dang dang dang!’ “Silence! Silence!”
“Stop arguing!’
The scene finally quieted down.
The old village chief looked at the hundreds of people with satisfaction.
“Humph! I can’t deal with you guys!’
The commotion here also attracted Lu Shen and the other six, along with Meng Xun’s construction team.
The six of them were still in the house when the hundreds of people passed by.
They thought it was thunder. Later, Xiao Liuzi went back and told people that West River Village was in trouble. Hundreds of people were coming and were about to fight. Meng Xun asked them to come and help, and he himself rushed to report to the officials.
Before he left, he even said, “Remember to grab your
Grab weapons? What weapons?
In the end, there were only bricks left, so everyone ran to West River Village together.
Lu Shen and the other six followed the construction team. They didn’t even think about it and each of them had a brick. As soon as they arrived, they heard the sound of a gong.
The bearded man and Meng Xun, who were at the back, turned around when they heard the people coming from behind. Meng Xun looked relieved, but the bearded man looked like there were so many people fighting for his job!
And each of them holding a brick?
“Big…”
When the construction team saw Meng Xun’s ashen face, they thought that he had already fought with someone. They had the intention to fight to the death.
“I say, you guys are dressed like rich people. Why are you still here? Give us poor people a way out, okay?”
The bearded man saw that these people were all dressed in brocade clothes, especially the six people from Meng Xun and Lu Shen’s faction. Even those who were holding bricks in their hands were wearing fine cotton cloth. He could not help but shout when he saw that they were still trying to snatch 15 copper coins a day from them.
“You guys know how to dig mountains?
“How could they use bricks to dig a mountain?
“Look at what we brought. It’s either a shovel or a pickaxe. These are the correct tools for digging mountains.”
“If you really want to do it, hurry home and get a shovel and pick.”
The bearded man thought that perhaps they would leave after he persuaded them. That way, their chances would be higher.
“So many of you are here to dig the mountain?
Lu Shen looked at the West River Village entrance that was tightly blocked.
There were hundreds of people.
The bearded man looked at Lu Shen from top to bottom.
“We don’t look like we’re here to dig the mountain. Could it be that a master dressed in brocade clothes like you looks like he’s here to dig the mountain?
“I think you guys shouldn’t come and cause trouble. You said that there was gold in that stone, but it still needs to be refined!”
The bearded man felt that Lu Shen and the others were obviously here to get the gold mine.
He thought that he could cover the sky with one hand just because he was a local squire. He was really a toad in a well.
As far as he knew, there seemed to be an official in this village. There was also a princess. He didn’t know if it was true or not. Anyway, she had a background.
These people were destined to be empty-handed!
