"What happened? There was such a loud noise yesterday."
"Sigh, what else could it be? Stone Village is blasting rocks again."
"How much are those broken stones worth?"
"I don't know, but if they get caught mining illegally, a few of them will probably end up in jail."
"Tsk tsk tsk, these country bumpkins, all they know is to cling to those few broken rocks."
The villagers of Shixia Village cursed and swore at the villagers of Shitou Village, revealing their utter contempt for the people of Shitou Village.
And at the desk in the publicity department.
Blind Liu, holding his teacup, listened to the report from the errand boy beside him.
"What?"
"Reporting is useless?"
"They say Stone Village is legal?"
Liu the Blind Man stared wide-eyed, finding it hard to believe the young man's answer.
The young man nodded helplessly.
"Village chief, I reported it, but they said it's normal construction over there."
"I glanced at it when I passed by."
"It seems they hired a construction team."
Liu the Blind frowned, a hint of doubt creeping into his expression.
"What's going on?"
“In Stone Village, you can still go through the procedures to blast rocks.”
"And a construction team? What construction team?"
The young man lowered his head and explained to Blind Liu in a low voice.
Blind Liu stroked his chin, starting to have some doubts.
Based on his understanding of Stone Village, how could such a poor and remote place possibly afford to hire a construction team? Otherwise, Stone Village wouldn't be illegally blasting rocks to make money.
What Liu the Blind Man couldn't understand the most was, if blasting rocks was legal, what was Stone Village trying to do?
Various doubts piled up in Liu the Blind's mind. He turned his head and whispered a few words of advice to the young man.
The young man paused for a moment, then looked at Blind Liu with some concern.
"Village chief, is this appropriate?"
"What do you mean by suitable or unsuitable? Let me show you around, let you stay for a few days, and see if there's anything unsuitable."
Liu the Blind cursed at the young man.
The young man could only nod reluctantly.
...
Seeing that there was nothing going on in Stone Village, Lin Yifeng told Xu Qingyi to stay and keep watch for a bit while he prepared to go back to Muye City to bring back the pipeline.
Once the pipeline is fully repaired, the hot springs here will be perfectly connected.
By then, not only the resort, but even the villagers of Stone Village and Shixia Village will be able to enjoy natural hot spring water at home.
However, this thing still needs a filtration station to be built. Fortunately, the technology is mature, and you can find a manufacturer to import it by taking a trip to Makino City.
When Lin Yifeng left Shitou Village and rushed back to Muye City, he was busy with these matters for two consecutive days.
After paying the money and confirming the time, all that's left is to deal with the renovation.
Just as Lin Yifeng was leading the construction team to return home, a phone call disrupted all of his plans.
"Brother Feng!"
"Something's happened!"
"A fight has broken out here, and Tie Niu has been taken away!"
Lin Yifeng's expression changed drastically upon hearing Xu Qingyi's anxious tone on the phone.
Tie Niu was taken away?
A fight broke out?
Lin Yifeng couldn't understand it for a long time: how could Stone Village and Stone Village fight each other?
Lin Yifeng also rode at full speed, heading directly to Shuiyun Town.
Inside the Shuiyun Town Police Station, Sun Zhouzheng had already arrived and was negotiating with the station chief, while Lin Yifeng went straight to Xu Qingyi as soon as he entered.
"What's going on?"
Xu Qingyi gritted her teeth and looked at the corner of the room.
A young man was covering his head with gauze, and there were still traces of blood on his cheeks.
Many villagers around them were carrying shovels and machetes, glaring fiercely at Lin Yifeng and his group.
This group of people...
It's neither from Stone Village nor Stone Village.
It seems to be from Shixia Village?
Lin Yifeng frowned slightly.
He recognized one of them; he recognized him from the group that had blocked the road demanding money.
Xu Qingyi didn't mince words and directly explained the whole story to Lin Yifeng.
Not long after Lin Yifeng left, people from Shixia Village came by, specifically taking the road they had built, and suddenly blocked the middle of the road in their three-wheeled vehicles.
The first thing they said was that the car was broken and needed repairs.
This meant they had no chance to repair the road all morning and could only wait for the people from Shixia Village to finish.
Most importantly, everyone understands that there's no way for Shixia Village to get back to the village via this route; this is clearly a deliberate attempt to cause trouble.
Faced with such thugs, Xu Qingyi had no choice but to see what they were up to first, and if all else failed, he would find someone to deal with them.
They stayed there for two whole days, and finally it was repaired. Then the people from both villages started repairing the road.
As a result, after just one night, the road was riddled with deep ruts from the vehicles, and the previously plowed road surface was now covered with coal dust. Everyone immediately guessed who had done this.
The hard work of nearly half a month, which was the path to prosperity for the villagers on both sides, was destroyed overnight, and everyone was furious.
What the group found even more unacceptable was that these people dared to show up here, pointing at the damaged road and shouting that they hadn't seen it at night and had accidentally dirtied it.
Zhao Tieniu was not about to tolerate these people.
This was the culmination of their hard work. As soon as they got angry, they cracked open the head of the leader. Fortunately, Xu Qingyi reacted quickly and pulled the enraged villagers down.
Otherwise, this incident is destined to result in a death.
Lin Yifeng chuckled coldly after hearing this.
He was all too familiar with this kind of thugs causing trouble; back in Russia, some local hooligans had done the same thing.
Until that group of people were still lying at the bottom of the lake, no one dared to mess with Lin Yifeng's company after that.
Now that I'm back in Stone Village, I never expected anyone would dare to come up here and cause trouble.
"interesting."
"Where's Iron Bull?"
"Is he alright?"
Lin Yifeng asked Xu Qingyi softly, more worried about Tie Niu than the person whose head had been cracked open.
Xu Qingyi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and chuckled wryly.
"Brother Feng, do you think I'm talking about someone who almost caused a death?"
"When this guy goes crazy, he's scarier than a mad bull."
"Eight of us tried to pull him, but we almost couldn't hold him back."
