Fleeing From Famine, My Entire Family Was Reborn

In their previous lives, Su Yin, her mother, and her sister-in-law were brutally mu*dered by a mob. In a twist of fate, all three were reborn together.

Before the mob could reach their villag...

Chapter 81 Stone Wall Opens

The people who were calcining rocks turned their heads hastily, and their eyes fell on the group of people who appeared below. Their faces became very ugly.

"How did they find this place?"

"How did they know?"

This is everyone's question.

Without Yang Lizheng saying anything, the people of Xinghua Village drew their weapons and pointed them at the uninvited guests.

There were only about forty people in Xinghua Village, but there were as many as eighty people on the opposite side.

Su Yin noticed that in addition to the people from Qianshan Village, there was also a group of strangers she had never seen before.

It seems that the two groups have negotiated and are ready to force them together.

She looked at the group of strangers. They were all young men between 20 and 40 years old, and they all had long knives in their hands.

They don't look like ordinary farmers.

They were clearly hiding the matter, so where did they get the information?

Now is not the time to pursue this matter, but how to solve the current problem.

Li Zheng Wang looked at Li Zheng Yang with a smile, "Li Zheng Yang, we meet again. It seems that we are destined to be together."

Yang Lizheng didn't say anything.

"I heard that you found a water source. It just so happens that we are short of water too. Why don't you give this place to me? You can look for another place."

They had seen clearly that there was no pond or spring here, only water dripping from the cracks of a huge stone wall.

There is not much water here, and it takes a long time to collect it.

Wang Lizheng had a plan in mind.

Butcher Yang had a hot temper and yelled at the other man, "Bullshit! This is what we found. If you want some water, go find it yourself."

Wang Lizheng laughed and said, "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Once we start fighting, don't blame us for not letting you see the sun tomorrow."

The people from Qianshan Village were waving their weapons at the enemy with ferocious looks, as if they were ready to start a fight if they disagreed with anything.

"Then give it a try."

Yang Dachuan raised the bow and arrow in his hand and aimed at Wang Lizheng.

Li Zheng Wang glanced at Yang Dachuan, then looked at Li Zheng Yang, "Li Zheng Yang, don't say we won't give you a way out. This water source was indeed discovered by you, and we can't just use it for ourselves."

"How about this. Let us get the water first, and after we get the water, you can get yours. This way, everyone can survive, and there won't be such an ugly scene. What do you think?"

The people in Xinghua Village were almost laughing out of anger.

This guy is very good at calculating.

Not to mention how long it would take for the two groups to fetch water, they couldn't afford to waste that time.

Not to mention, they couldn't guarantee that the people in Qianshan Village would not tell others about this water source after they left. If that happened, they would not only not be able to get water, but would also be caught in an endless fight with other refugees.

He was able to make the people of Xinghua Village panic without having to spend any effort.

I have to say that Wang Lizheng is quite dark and cruel.

"Impossible!" Yang Lizheng refused directly.

"Then don't blame us for being ruthless." Wang Lizheng's eyes were fierce.

Su Yin said, "I think this matter is not something you can decide. Am I right?"

Her eyes were fixed on the elegant scholar in the crowd.

Although he stood casually and did not speak from beginning to end, judging from the positions of the group, he was the leader and was in a protective posture.

So she judged that the gentleman scholar should be the leader of this group of strange people.

If we can win him over, then the people of Qianshan Village will have nothing to fear.

The elegant scholar raised his eyebrows in surprise, walked out of the crowd slowly, stood at the front, and gently waved his feather fan, "Girl, you have good eyesight."

This sentence was tantamount to a slap in the face to Wang Lizheng, directly trampling on his face.

The people of Qianshan Village wanted to get angry, but were stopped by Wang Lizheng with a look.

The gentleman scholar ignored the weapons pointed at him by the people from Xinghua Village and walked forward, looking at the fire below the stone wall and then at the poor drop of water.

"Are you planning to dig this place open?"

"Yes." Su Yin nodded, "I guess there might be stored water here, or maybe a spring, an underground river, or something like that."

"It would be a waste of time to rely on the water dripping from the stone wall, so we are going to chisel it open. Maybe there will be a surprise, or maybe there will be nothing, even the last bit of water will be gone."

She speaks her mind.

In fact, even if she didn't say it, the other party would be able to guess it.

The probability of a dark river or something like that is very small, but there are all kinds of things in the world, so this is also a possibility.

What is a conjecture? It is a bold guess, a bold thought. If one does not even have the courage to think, then this person is destined not to go far.

The gentleman nodded in agreement, "That's a good idea indeed."

After hearing what Su Yin said, the people in Qianshan Village were the first to disagree.

"You guys are just kidding. If you don't have it, you're just wasting the last bit of water."

"Li Zheng, we have to stop them quickly."

"We finally found some water, we can't let them do this."

Wang Lizheng raised his hand to suppress the discussion of the people below, and looked at the elegant scholar, "This is too risky. I don't think it's appropriate. What do you think?"

The elegant scholar ignored him and observed the stone wall with interest. He walked around the stone wall, squatted down, picked up a piece of soil, and smelled it.

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, the smile on Wang Lizheng's lips became more and more stiff, and a gloomy look flashed across his brows.

The gentleman stood up, patted the dirt in his hands, turned to look at Su Yin, and said, "Maybe your guess is right."

He looked at Wang Lizheng again, "It's just a risk, it's worth a try."

"If we can get water out of it, it will be good for all three of us."

Wang Lizheng could only agree awkwardly.

"Time is running out. All of you should go to the top of the mountain to look for firewood, and the rest of you can help dig together."

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. With their joining, the hard stone wall began to crack.

It takes a lot of strength to hammer the stone, but there are many of them, and each of them hits with a hammer. This cycle repeats several times, and even the hardest stone wall cannot withstand such an impact.

The people in Xinghua Village were worried, and Yang Lizheng was pulling Su Yin away.

"After this rock wall is chiseled open, no one knows what's inside. If there is a hidden river, we don't need to waste time talking to them, we can just get water ourselves. If there's only a small pond with water frogs inside, I'm afraid it won't be our turn."

This is also what Su Yin is worried about.

"Su girl, do you have any way to convince that scholar to stand on our side?"

They had conflicts with the people in Qianshan Village, and they would never let them off easily.

Therefore, winning over a third party is the best option.

"Third grandfather, don't worry, I will find a way." Su Yin narrowed his eyes, and a ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

She would never do that unless it was absolutely necessary.

At this moment, a surprised voice came from under the lush tree, "It's blooming, it's blooming."
