There are so many people in Qingshan Village and they don’t look like they are not getting enough to eat.

In Shangxi Village, everyone was so hungry that they looked pale and skinny, with not enough food to eat and not enough clothes to wear! Every family only had one meal a day, and when they were hungry, they just drank a bellyful of water.

He looked angrily at Liu Quanzheng who was standing behind him.

"Quan Zheng, we can't write two surnames for the same Liu. Why didn't you tell Shangxi Village something, but helped Qingshan Village hide this matter!"

Speaking of Liu Lizheng, he is related to Liu Quanzheng, but he is only six generations back.

Liu Quanzheng was inexplicably named and felt a little confused.

He cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Liu Qi, I wonder what you mean by that?"

"Okay, you're still pretending at this time!" Liu Lizheng knocked the ground twice with his crutch.

The people in Shangxi Village were all unhappy. Although they had received favors from Liu Quanzheng in the past, now it was related to their own interests and they had to step forward.

"Mr. Xiucai, after all, you are also from Shangxi Village. Why didn't you come back to the village to tell us when Qingshan Village was stockpiling grain?"

"Yes! My family doesn't even have a grain of rice right now, and the children are crying with hunger!"

"You are lucky! My eighty-year-old mother refused to eat in order to save food for the younger generation, and she starved to death."

Speaking of this, a man from Shangxi Village's eyes turned red.

After hearing this, Liu Quanzheng also understood.

Even if he knew, he couldn't say it. People are selfish, and he is no exception! How can the people of Shangxi Village be as important as his relatives! Liu Quanzheng had a stern face and straightened his back.

"Three months ago, the wheat seedlings froze to death. I don't believe you didn't know that. Food was still available at that time, so why didn't you buy it?"

Seeing that the people of Shangxi Village were silent, he spoke again.

"I thought the food was too expensive, so I waited for the court to lower the price! But I didn't expect that now I can't buy a single grain of food even if I have money!"

This statement left Shangxi Village speechless with even a word of rebuttal.

Guan Qing stared at Liu Lizheng sharply, with an intimidating look without even getting angry.

Shangxi Village knew that their village was hoarding grain, and it was someone in Qingshan Village who leaked it! "Brother Liu, what do you mean by this? Are you coming to my Qingshan Village to cause trouble?"

"Brother Guan, your village started hoarding grain four months ago, so there must be a lot. Why don't you sell us some? It will be better than me spreading the news and letting other villages take the grain away!" Liu Lizheng is not afraid of Guan Qing, he just doesn't believe that he can really do it.

[The village head of Shangxi Village is too shameless! What do you mean by other villages carry it away? Isn't this a clear threat?]

Guan Qing smiled. He looked around first, and when he saw Jin Hua Niang crouching and trying to run, he spoke up! "Jin family, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"My old man broke his leg after drinking a few days ago, so I went back to take care of him."

Jinhua Niang stopped and turned around stiffly.

Everyone in Qingshan Village knew that Jinhua's father broke his leg after drinking, so what he said made sense.

But Guan Qing doesn't think so.

Jin Hua Niang looked guilty at first glance, and he wouldn't believe her if she said she wasn't the one who spread the news.

Guan Qing stepped on a stone, and when he let go, the stone had turned into ash.

"I heard that your mother's family is also from Shangxi Village."

"Hehe..." Jinhua's mother laughed dryly and swallowed her saliva out of fear.

Guan Qing definitely didn't understand.

"Your old man Jin got drunk and said something to you, so why are you so anxious to go to your mother's house and tell her?"

Everyone in Qingshan Village stared at Jinhua Niang, and someone shouted.

"Get this evil out of here!"

"Yes, get out!"

Guan Qing withdrew his gaze and decided to talk about this matter later. Right now, he had to deal with Shangxi Village.

He took out a dagger from his waist and put it across Liu Lizheng's neck.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly?"

The dagger went in another inch, making a small cut and a trace of blood oozing out.

The people of Shangxi Village were so scared that they retreated with their hoes in their hands.

Liu Lizheng's voice trembled, "Nothing to say, nothing to say, I will take the people away now."

Guan Qing pushed the person aside.

Liu Lizheng's legs felt weak and he stood up shakily.

His teeth moved up and down.

Liu Lizheng knew that Guan Qing really wanted to kill him just now.

When he went back and talked to the other villages, he didn't believe that Guan Qing could stop so many people.

By then, their Shangxi Village will also have a share of the pie.

"Let's go and drive the Jin family out of Qingshan Village."

The head of the village waved his hand, and everyone followed him to the Jin family.

Most people in Qingshan Village have the surname Su, and Chief Su is also someone who has a say. He follows behind Guan Qing.

"Village head, if the people of Shangxi Village join forces with other villages to steal food, what should we do?"

"I have thought of a solution!" Guan Qing patted Chief Su's shoulder.

After hearing this, Chief Su felt relieved.

With so many people and so much power, the Jin family had no choice but to pack up and leave.

Jin Hua Niang cursed and said, "You can leave, but give us back the food my family bought."

Jinhua's father paid for the purchase of food, but all the food was hidden by the village head and could not be touched unless it was absolutely necessary.

The days ahead will only be harder!

The head of the village took out three taels of silver from his bosom and threw it into Old Man Jin's arms.

"You paid three taels at the beginning, and now I return it to you!"

Jinhua's father nodded silently. Most of his hair turned white overnight and he looked much older.

Seeing that Jinhua Niang still wanted to nag, he pulled her hair and limped forward.

"You old fool, I'm going to fight you!" Jinhua Niang grabbed around with her hands.

Her three sons simply restrained her.

In this way, several people left Qingshan Village in a noisy manner, carrying large and small bags.

Aunt Liu sighed as she watched. Although she had sold the grain, she had just learned from Old Liu that the head of the village still had some grain.

If it was too late, she would probably go back to her parents' home.

Fortunately, she arrived at the right time, otherwise she would have been driven away like the Jin family.

"Okay, everyone go away!" The head of the village waved his hand.

He looked at Su Yun again.

"Come over here, girl Yun. I have something to tell you."

[My great grandfather must want me to build a maze for Qingshan Village so that people from other villages can't get in.]

Guan Qingzheng had this intention.

He discussed with Su Yun and decided to set up a simple maze.

If a stranger enters the formation, his eyes will be blinded. If he wants to leave, he can leave, but he just can't find Qingshan Village.

If people from Qingshan Village want to go out, they must wait for the people guarding the formation to pick them up before they can come in.

Guan Qing also had an idea of ​​who to choose as the guard.

They cannot guard the place for nothing; he will take some of the surplus food from everyone's food as wages.

Su Yun was setting up the formation awkwardly; this was her first time.

She buried the eye of the array under a big locust tree and set up the maze with the village entrance as the starting point.

The next thing will be left to Guan Qing.

Day and night alternate, and in the blink of an eye, a new day comes.

The Heavenly King Erniu was guarding the entrance of the village. Su Yun was teaching him how to let people in when he saw someone breaking into the formation.

The visitor kept circling around the entrance of the village but couldn't get in.

He scratched his head and looked around in confusion.

"Strange, I clearly remember that Qingshan Village is here, why is it gone?"

[Who is this person? Why does my uncle Erniu have such a dark face?] Su Yun's face was full of confusion.
