A Guide to Raising Younglings During Natural Disasters

Natural disasters were incessant. Ning Xia had survived alone for six years and finally decided to return to her old home in Qianzhou to start anew. Unexpectedly, she rescued two skinny little ones...

Chapter 169 Dispute

Ningxia was almost amused by this man's shameless remarks. His luggage was still on him, yet he was so eager to steal her land?

"If you want this piece of land, just give it a try." Ningxia took off the crossbow from his waist, raised it slowly, and pointed it at the men.

Hu Hua and the others looked at each other, then burst into laughter, without any fear in their eyes. After hanging around for so many years, they didn't even take this woman seriously.

"Hey, sister, do you want to have a sparring match with your brothers?" The short and thin man next to Hu Hua smiled obscenely.

Ningxia chuckled, raised her hand and shot an arrow. The arrow grazed the man's cheek, leaving a shallow trace of blood. "If you don't get out of here, the next arrow won't just grazed him."

"You little bitch, you're shameless, huh?" the short man said, and then he took off the machete from the luggage and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Hu Hua.

"Sister, this is unreasonable. We brothers have already made it clear when we came here. As long as the land in this forest area is not planted with crops, it is ownerless and we can choose it as we please."

"Just try to move one." Ningxia repeated again lightly.

"Sister, we are also residents of District 1 and don't want to conflict with you. So, we'll give you one of these two plots of land as a greeting gift from our brothers. How do you think?"

Ningxia sneered and was about to speak when Mu Yuanqing and Liu Ximu came over.

Seeing a group of strange men suddenly appearing, the tension between the two sides was high. She thought to herself that something was wrong and asked loudly, "What's going on?"

Two of the men even whistled. There were actually two young women in this small place. What a great deal!

"Shameless people trying to take over our land."

Mu Yuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, put down the seed in his hand, took out the dagger from his leg sleeve and played with it. "Why, do you want to practice?"

Just as a few men were about to say something, a group of people came up from behind.

"Hu Hua!"

It's Li Gang! Ningxia and Mu Yuanqing exchanged a glance, their tense emotions relaxing slightly.

When the men looked back, they saw several coalition forces rushing over with large and small bags. Their disdain did not diminish at all, but instead a hint of displeasure appeared on their faces.

Behind Li Gang, Lao Liao and the others were a dozen or so old, weak, and disabled people. The expressions on their faces were not very good. When I got closer, I saw that it was Ningxia.

"Ningxia?! Mu Yuanqing, why are you here?"

"Squad leader, Brother Liao." Ningxia felt relieved, and Mu Yuanqing also nodded slightly to the few people as a greeting.

"What's going on?"

Ningxia looked at the people following him and the men in front of him who were looking arrogant, and he had a rough idea in his mind. He didn't expect that so many people would come to settle in the forest area once the road was opened.

"Squad leader, these people want to occupy my land."

Li Gang frowned tightly and turned to look at the man named Hu Hua. "Hu Hua, didn't you rush here to choose an address?"

Hu Hua glanced at him and said, "I'm discussing cooperation with this girl. What does it have to do with you?"

Li Gang took a few deep breaths to suppress his anger. "It's fine that you disobeyed orders and acted recklessly all along the way, but now you want to occupy other people's land. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Hu Hua stared at him and suddenly laughed, "Soldier, you guys are just leading us to the forest area, what, who do you think you are?

Don't say you have no right to manage my brothers. Even if you have the right, this land without crops and no crops is ownerless. Whose property am I occupying?"

Mu Yuanqing chuckled, "Life is tough these days. All kinds of livestock are running into places where people live. I think you are really like a toad lying on your feet. You don't bite people, but you disgust them."

Hu Hua's face changed, and he pulled out the crossbow from his waist and pointed it at Mu Yuanqing, "You bitch, you're mocking me, right? Say it again?"

Liu Ximu looked up and glanced at him indifferently, then his hand hanging from his sleeve silently reached for his trouser pocket.

The two sides confronted each other again.

Li Gang stared at Hu Hua and said, "Their two families were the first to settle in the forest area. Even if the land is ownerless, they have the right to choose the land before you.

Don't think that you have the final say just because you left the main group and arrived early. Not to mention their two families, even the elderly people in poor health behind you can choose houses and fields before you.

I advise you to keep a low profile and follow the rules. Do you really think you can rule the forest with just a few men? This is Chocobo!

Hu Hua saw that the other party was getting angrier the more they spoke. The coalition forces seemed to want to eat him up, but he was not afraid at all.

"Your coalition is supported by our taxes. Looking at you, you still want to touch me? Come on, try to touch one! What's wrong with the Chocobo? Do you think you can just cling to the citizens and shit on them just because you have a Chocobo protecting you? I'll report you to the state military and political department. Let's see if the Chocobo can still protect you."

"That's right! It's clearly written on our household registration that we're first-class citizens. You guys in the coalition are only third-class at best. Why are you meddling in other people's business? Damn, it's been so long since we've been beaten. I think you're itching for it."

Hu Hua stood straight, and the men around him kept shouting and cursing, and the words they uttered were extremely dirty and disgusting.

Old Liao cursed and was about to rush forward with his pistol raised, but was held back by Li Gang.

Ningxia narrowed her eyes, stepped forward and kicked, while at the same time pressing a military crossbow against Hu Hua's head, and the opponent's neck was bent a little by her force.

"Boss!"

“Big Brother!”

Mu Yuanqing also stepped forward and kicked a man over, mercilessly pressing the scimitar in his hand against his neck, "What era is it now? Are there still people using the pre-sprout citizen grading system?

"I was a better person before I started to grow up! I'm not as bad as you guys. In this day and age, without their coalition, would you still exist? It's fine if you don't kneel down and call me daddy, but why are you raising your dog mouth and barking like that?"

Several men with ferocious looks on their faces drew their weapons and were about to rush forward. Li Gang took out his pistol and fired several shots into the air.

"If any of you guys make another move, I'll kill you! Let's see which comes faster, the punishment from the Military and Political Affairs Department or your lives!"

Several men were frightened by the gunshots. Seeing that Li Gang's furious face did not seem fake, they retreated indignantly. They wanted to shout and curse again, but when they met the angry eyes of several coalition soldiers, they dared not say another word.

"I've been patrolling this land for years. If I say it's theirs, it's theirs! If anyone disagrees, go ahead and sue me! Let me see who's faster, your legs or my gun!"

Old Liao also stood up and spoke. Unlike Li Gang who was just bluffing, he really wanted to kill. The gun in his hand was loaded and he was not afraid of accidental discharge at all. He just faced the few people. His usually cheerful expression turned gloomy and looked very scary.
