What to do when you transmigrate to ancient times and encounter natural disasters? The window paper tears with a poke, the door collapses with a push, the thatch blows off with a gust, and there...
Wang Wenxuan tightened his jaw, his face serious, picked up a long knife and walked out.
Their wall was finally completed after much haste, but the new wall was also more eye-catching.
The Wang family's farm and yard are bigger than the Jiang family's. Those people couldn't get the Jiang family's favor, so they came to the Wang family.
These people came to harass him from time to time, and Wang Wenxuan was fed up with it.
He originally wanted to abandon the farm and return to the city to reunite with his family, so that they wouldn't have to worry about him day and night.
But he was unwilling to do so. If he surrendered now, would he have to surrender again if it happened again next year?
Wang Wenxuan has lived a life of luxury since childhood. Although he is not good at martial arts, he knows how to be ambitious.
He led his men to the gate of the courtyard. At this time, the knocking on the door became louder and louder, even mixed with threatening words.
"Open the door." He raised his chin and spoke lightly.
"yes."
As soon as the door opened, Wang Wenxuan narrowed his eyes slightly. There were about thirty people outside the door, forming a row and surrounding their courtyard gate.
The Wang family hired more than thirty servants, all armed with knives and sticks.
The two sides stood opposite each other, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
Wang Wenxuan said coldly, "Are you begging or robbing?"
The leader, a middle-aged man, had a smile on his face, but what he said was very disgusting.
"Young Master, we are new neighbors. Now we are fellow villagers, so we should help each other. You see, we are starving. Shouldn't you give us some food to save our lives?"
The man was dressed in rags, had a rough and dark yellow face, black teeth, and spoke with a foul voice.
Wang Wenxuan lowered his eyes and said in a cold tone, "How much do you want?"
They thought the young master had surrendered and a look of joy appeared on their faces.
The man spoke impatiently, "One or two dan of grain per person will be enough."
Wang Wenxuan almost laughed out of anger. One or two dan per person is enough? What a big mouth! He's not even afraid of the wind blowing his tongue away!
"Big brother, our family has also suffered a hardship. Now we have no crops to grow. Where will we get so much food to harvest?"
The other man standing nearby clearly didn't believe it, thinking it was an excuse. Dissatisfaction flashed across his face, "Your farm is so big, and you're so wealthy, with so many servants. How could there be nothing? Otherwise, just let us in and take a look!"
"Yes! That's right! Let's go in and take a look, otherwise we won't believe it!"
"Your yard is so big, and the walls are so high. If you don't have food, you must have a lot of gold and silver. Otherwise, you can give us some money and we can buy food ourselves!"
Wang Wenxuan snorted coldly. Was this a blatant robbery? There was no need for him to argue with someone who was not in the right mind. He pointed the knife at the man in front of him.
"You are nothing but robbers! What business do you have with my family, whether we have food or money? If you need food, go to the government. We are not relatives, so why should I support you?"
At his command, all the servants stepped forward, as if they would start fighting if they dared to rush forward.
The refugees looked grim.
The man in the middle shouted, "Brothers, let's rush in and see if there is any food inside!"
“Charge!”
Wang Wenxuan's face darkened, and when he and others rushed forward, he was about to raise his knife, when suddenly a shadow jumped out from behind him and pounced on the refugees in front of him.
"Jinjin!" He stretched out his hand to pick up the cat, but swords and knives have no eyes, so don't hurt it.
But the scene before him made him open his eyes wide.
"aim!"
The kitten extended its sharp claws and leaped at high speed, leaving numerous wounds on the people. Blood splattered and screams rang out one after another.
“Ah! It hurts!”
"What tickled me?! It hurts!"
"What is that? Quick, grab it!"
The people on the Wang family side didn't move, just staring dumbfoundedly at the people on the opposite side jumping up and down.
Wang Wenxuan frowned and was worried that the kitten would be caught.
"Who's over there! What are you doing?!"
There was a powerful shout, and Wang Wenxuan looked over and saw seven or eight officers wearing official uniforms and carrying official swords rushing towards him.
Fan Jin also withdrew his hand in time, stepped back, and jumped onto Wang Wenxuan's shoulders.
Wang Wenxuan felt a weight on his shoulder and reached out to steady it.
The officer spoke harshly, looking at the people rolling back and forth on the ground and crying out in pain, "What are you doing?"
Wang Wenxuan took the initiative and said, "Sir, I don't know where these people came from. They shouted for war and killing as soon as they opened their mouths. They not only want to steal food, but also want to steal houses. I told them to obey the arrangements of the government, but they are obviously dissatisfied with the government."
When the officer heard this, his eyebrows raised.
Not to mention that these later people were definitely not as obedient as the previous people, they had to be more polite when facing these wealthy families, not to mention that these refugees came to other people's doors with knives and sticks.
They are not right in any way.
Without waiting for the refugees to speak up, the officers started shouting at them.
"Our Lords took pity on you for your suffering and took the trouble to take you in and settle you in the village. But who knew you would still harbor resentment and bring trouble to your neighbors? Your relief food is wasted! In that case, there's no need to settle you. We're in need of men to help us, and you have so much energy that you don't know where to use it. Why don't you just serve in the military? You'll do a good deed!"
"Please spare my life, sir! I won't dare to do it again!"
"Please forgive me, sir! I don't want to go to war! I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, I really can't go and get my life!"
"I know I was wrong and I won't do it again. Please let me go this time!"
No matter how pitiful these people looked at the moment, Wang Wenxuan would never forget the faces they had when they were just being robbed. It was still unknown if there were any other victims.
The police officer had naturally seen many criminals committing evil, so he showed no mercy and took the criminal away.
Peace returned to the Wang family's gate.
"Gather all the sticks on the ground and chop them up for firewood."
Wang Wenxuan turned his head and gave an order, asked the man to put away the knife in his hand, then lowered his shoulders, put the cat down from his shoulders, and hugged it.
The kitten struggled, but Wang Wenxuan held it in his arms, "Be good, don't move. I'll take you home."
Fan Jin felt quite comfortable when he stroked her back gently, and she actually dozed off obediently in his arms.
He had to guard the pigsty at night and felt sleepy during the day.
Wang Wenxuan asked his servant to drive his carriage, carried the cat in his arms, and headed towards Jiang's farm.
Fan Jin nestled obediently in his arms, and the gentle bumps made him sleep comfortably.
