Zhao Wei hid behind the locust tree, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the wooden butt of the shotgun.
The moonlight filtered through the gaps in the locust leaves, casting mottled shadows on the men's faces, clearly illuminating the greed in their eyes.
The God of War let out a very light snoring sound from his throat and dug the ground with his front paws.
Zhao Wei held its neck and signaled it to stay calm.
He wanted to hear what other nonsense these people had to say.
"What's the point of blocking a canal?"
The other tall and thin man spat and twirled the wine gourd in his hand rapidly.
"If you ask me, just let all their rice seedlings rot in the fields! Don't they care about this? I heard that these are the second crop of seedlings, and they are reluctant to give up."
"Let's do it!" The man who spoke first slapped his thigh, not caring that the wine had spilled all over his trouser legs: "Let's do it in two ways, one to block the water and the other to spread the lime. This time we must teach them a lesson..."
Of course, some people have expressed concerns.
"The last time our village had a conflict with them, several people were arrested. What if we fail again this time? What should we do?"
As soon as this person finished speaking, he was met with contemptuous looks from those people.
"You are such an idiot. It's just a contingency. Can't you think of something better?"
"Let's take a step back and say that even if we fail, what does it matter? We're staying here and wasting our family's food. At least the whole family will feel more at ease if we eat prison food."
As long as they don't starve to death and can get through this critical moment, they won't be afraid of anything.
People gasped when they heard this, but they could not say anything to refute it.
Times are tough, and they are just trying to survive.
…
What a good two-pronged approach!
If I hadn't made this trip in person today, I would probably have no idea what these people were planning.
Unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed.
Zhao Wei, who has already seized the initiative, would never allow them to free themselves to do bad things.
In order to delay these people and prevent them from taking action tonight, Zhao Wei set fire to a haystack in Lijiaao.
The fire broke out so violently that it frightened those people who were plotting something evil. They quickly put aside their plans and ran to put out the fire.
Unfortunately, there was no water source in the village, and they did not dig canals to draw water from other villages. Once the fire started, it could not be controlled, and in just a moment, it was burned to ashes.
Fortunately, there were no buildings around, and the fire did not cause a large-scale fire, which was a blessing in disguise.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhao Wei led them to another place as if he was walking a dog.
Another fire broke out, and the whole village was in chaos, unable to find peace.
They say once, twice, but never three times.
After the two fire accidents, the people in Lijiaao Village were so tired that they sat on the ground and didn't want to move anymore.
The instigator, Zhao Wei, had already led the God of War away from the village.
Of course, before leaving, he still did some additional work.
Especially those families who conspired against the law will all be punished.
These families all have barns, where they raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, etc.
They are all collective property. Even if people don't have food or water, they must ensure that these animals have food and water. Otherwise, if they die, the breeders will be punished.
Zhao Wei naturally knew that these people had suffered a lot these days because of these beasts.
But now, he has helped these people so that they no longer have to worry about this kind of breeding from now on.
He did the same thing in the barns, which was to open the doors and let them all free.
He first went to the yard of one of the families. The cowshed was right under the wall. An old yellow cow was lying on the hay and ruminating. It raised its head when it heard the noise, and Zhao Wei's figure was reflected in its cloudy eyes.
Zhao Wei held his breath and gently untied the hemp rope. The knot was the most common loose knot in the village and it would come open with a pull.
He pushed open the fence gate. The old ox seemed stunned, probably because it didn't expect to be able to go out at this time. After hesitating for a moment, it slowly walked out of the cowshed.
After leaving the family, Zhao Wei suddenly slapped him on the buttocks, which frightened him and he suddenly ran towards the suburbs outside the village.
Next is another family's chicken coop.
The chicken coop was made of bamboo and covered with thatch, and housed a dozen hens and a big red-crowned rooster.
It can be seen that it was well raised. Zhao Wei even picked up two eggs. He accepted them without hesitation and turned around to feed them to the God of War.
Zhao Wei reached out and pushed open the latch. With a slight "creak", the door of the chicken coop opened a crack.
The chicken inside seemed to be startled and began to flap its wings and make "cluck" sounds.
He took two steps back, holding his breath and not daring to smell the stench of chicken manure in there, it was too pungent.
After they got used to it, the big rooster was the first to squeeze out from the crack in the door, walking with his head held high and his chest puffed out. Behind him was a group of hens, who were scrambling to get out, and soon the yard was in chaos.
Finally, there is the pigpen of the man who said, “Prison food is easy.”
The pigsty was built of stone, and the door was a heavy wooden board supported by a thick wooden stick.
There were two half-grown piglets inside, and they still had some strength.
Zhao Wei used all his strength to move the wooden stick away, and the wooden board fell to the ground with a clang.
