The monk remained calm and said, "This humble monk is a little thirsty. May I ask the two young benefactors for some water?"
Ye Qiao felt that the monk must know something. After looking at the fighting over there, she saw that the man in silver was indeed gaining the upper hand, so she was no longer afraid.
They quickly invited the monk into the house.
The monk drank a small bowl of water, but instead of leaving immediately, he chatted with them about everyday things.
By this time, most of the men in black who had come on horseback had been killed. A faint smell of blood lingered in the air of the village, and several corpses had been thrown into the river, turning the water red.
Qiao Lian'er was watching the game.
The people sent by the Wei family were all carefully selected experts, but they were still outmatched by Pei Shijiu's preparations.
“We must leave one alive and send a letter to the capital to tell the Wei family that the Ye siblings have been dealt with. This way, the Wei family will not set up any defenses on the road, allowing the siblings to travel freely.”
As Qiao Lian'er spoke, she went around to the back of a grove of banana trees and released Pei Shijiu.
Pei Shijiu immediately recognized one of the leaders, who was wounded in several places and was putting up a stubborn resistance.
"Detain him."
Those of higher status write more credible letters.
The man was apprehended shortly afterward. Pei Shijiu handed the task over to the men in silver, and several of them left with their leader.
As for the other men in black, they were all killed and thrown into the river.
The man in silver did not disturb the villagers, and after the deed was done, he disappeared without a trace.
The villagers were still in shock when they saw the blood all over the ground, the river water stained red, and the corpses in the river. Some of the more timid people fainted.
"It's all the fault of the Ye siblings. Otherwise, how could our peaceful village have attracted all this bloodshed?"
"That's right. These horsemen came for the Ye family from the beginning. It would have been fine if they had just killed them and left, but they attracted another group and caused such a bloody incident."
"We can't let them stay here. We'll go and drive them out of the village right now."
“Let’s go together and drive them all away, so that the village won’t be peaceful in the future.”
The villagers headed towards the Ye family's house, and the crowd grew larger and larger, forming a grand procession.
Qiao Lian'er shook her head. No matter what, Yin Shi had lived in Xia Mei Village for eighteen years, and Ye Liang was her child with a man from this village. The villagers were so heartless and ungrateful. Was it because their ideas were too ignorant, backward, and stubborn?
Pei Shijiu glanced at Qiao Lian'er's expression, then made a gesture towards the mountain. Soon, the silver-masked man reappeared.
"Even if someone protects them and guarantees them a stable environment, they can't stay here for long."
“Yes, Madam Yin is dead. The siblings were just saying they were going to the capital, so it’s the perfect time,” Qiao Lian’er said.
The villagers quickly surrounded the Ye family's courtyard, some carrying shovels, some holding sticks, and some carrying machetes, all determined to get what they wanted.
"The Ye siblings will only bring disaster to the village. Please get out and never come back."
"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. Your mother was originally an unlucky person, and giving birth to you two siblings brought the same bad luck, and you almost brought disaster to the villagers."
“If you don’t leave, then we will take responsibility for asking you to leave and restore peace to this village. We are all honest villagers who want to live our lives peacefully, and we don’t want to be implicated by you.”
