Chapter 100 Whom I’m Afraid of
"There are unowned vacant lands everywhere in Tubei Mountain. If you want to move in, you can find a place to build your own house. We don't care! But the people living here now are all honest and respectful. We don't welcome people like you who are robbing and occupying us by force. Get out!"
Su Da raised his fist and shouted at the two people who had finally struggled to get up from the ground.
Su Er stood beside him and raised his two fists with a ferocious look.
The two brothers had no doubt about Changdong's words.
Someone came to bully the timid and honest Changdong. It was normal for their Tianbao to help out because the children in the Su family were all sensible and kind-hearted.
As for Changdong, he didn't even dare to look people in the eye. How could you expect him to punch back at the bullies who came to bully him? That was simply impossible.
At the gate of the Su family's courtyard, Tianbao continued to eat quietly.
Being attacked by the "honest" people Du Buqin, Duan Dao and Huo Shi looked up at the sky in silence.
At this time, other residents who heard the noise also stood beside Su Da and Su Er to support them. They came late and could only understand the whole story from Su Da's scolding, which further strengthened their determination and courage to stand on the side.
"That's right! We are all honest people living here. We don't welcome bullies! Get out!"
"Get out! Don't come and destroy the peace of our Tubei Mountain!"
"You bully an honest man. Do you think we are still the same Tu Beishan as before? Don't be afraid, Changdong! We have people backing us up!"
"Yes, we have the Su family masters! We have Master Du and Master Broken Knife! And Mrs. Huo!"
Someone bravely shouted this.
Mrs. Huo was enjoying the show while eating melon seeds at the doorstep. When she heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Don't bring me into this. If you want me to help, you have to pay me!"
"..." The excited crowd fell silent for a moment. After a moment, someone in the crowd trembled and blurted out, "We don't have any silver. Can you give us grain after the crops are grown?"
Mrs. Huo squinted her eyes, chewed the melon seeds in her mouth, and said, "I'll tell you later, depending on my mood."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's fears faded away and cheers and laughter broke out, as if they had received some extraordinary promise.
Old lady Su, the old man and others also smiled. They had experienced it, so they understood the feeling.
When people are in desperate situations, they will be so happy that they want to cry if they can gain even a little bit of confidence.
"Changdong, just wait for me!" Seeing that they could not gain any advantage, the two men who were looking for trouble said something harsh and fled quickly amid the shouts of the crowd, their backs looking disheveled.
Damn, he didn’t even get any benefit from his grandma’s help, and he was almost scared to death!
The two still don't understand how they were beaten and by whom.
He was beaten for no apparent reason and sent flying.
It seems that the rumored master behind the Su family is true, and they have fallen into his hands.
What a bad luck.
They originally thought that Changdong was easy to bully and that they were sure to win this time, but they ended up in a different place and the honest man was bullied, and they were the ones who suffered the loss.
After the incident was over, the residents of nearby Tubeishan chatted and laughed as they went back to their homes. Their backs looked more upright than usual as they left.
Su Da turned his head and saw Changdong still standing there, his back pressed against the door frame. He looked at people with trepidation, his fear still lingering.
"Okay, they've already left. It's nothing serious. Fortunately, you're not injured. Go back and have a good rest. They probably won't dare to come again."
Su Da patted the man on the shoulder and pulled him away from the door panel. Looking at the big hole in the wooden board, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Tianbao didn't know how to use less force, and the door panel was left with only the frame sticking out.
He touched his nose and patted Changdong's shoulder. "Just make do with it tonight. Tomorrow, Lao Er and I will help you fix the main door. We'll make sure it's fixed before you come back next time."
The man holding the knife raised his eyes and glanced over sharply. Changdong quickly lowered his head and whispered, "Okay... okay..."
Back in the main room, away from the outside world's sight, Changdong's timid expression disappeared, and he glanced outside with his narrow eyes, "Hmph."
After beating up those two people and putting the blame on the Su family's expert, he didn't worry at all that the truth would be exposed.
The spies from Wangque Tower had been monitoring the Su family in Tubei Mountain for more than a few months. Although they had not been able to uncover the identity of the master, they had not gained nothing.
Even the Su family themselves probably didn't know who was protecting them from behind. That person had never shown up, and had no contact with the Su family.
Even if he blamed that person, the other party would not show up in person to explain in order to prove his innocence.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be unnecessary to hide it for so long?
He actually hoped that the other party would do something extra, so that the person's identity would not be hidden.
At this time, the Su family returned to their own courtyard and talked about something else.
"I didn't expect that people would start coming over and trying to move into the houses around our house. It seems the news of us clearing land in Qinghe Bay for farming has spread." Old Man Su pulled a stool and sat down at the door of the kitchen, frowning and sighing, "I'm afraid there will be more people coming over later. There won't be a shortage of them."
Old Lady Su nodded. "Didn't Master Broken Blade tell Old Poison about this? The exile areas are still mostly populated by ordinary people. Ordinary people who want to survive either work for others or farm on their own. But right now, apart from the reclaimed Tubei Mountain, who dares to farm elsewhere? Those ordinary people who want to survive will soon find us. No matter what, there's always more hope here."
Su Da and Su Er didn't care much whether anyone came to Tu Beishan or not.
This place was originally an unowned land. Anyone who wanted to live here could just choose a spot and build a house. Wasn't that what happened when their family first came here?
The only thing that is worrying is that the people who come here are a mixed bunch.
By then, Tubei Mountain will probably no longer be as peaceful as it is now.
"It doesn't matter who comes. I just hope that those who come are honest people and don't make Tubei Mountain a mess." Su Da's head hurt when he thought that Tubei Mountain would become like the inner city with shouts of fighting and killing everywhere.
Su Er exclaimed in a loud voice, "You're just worrying about nothing. With Lord Broken Blade and Old Poison here, who else dares to claim dominance in Tubei Mountain besides the leaders of the three major factions? Even wolves have to tuck their tails between their legs and act like dogs here! Worrying about this and that is just asking for trouble!"
Crowd: ...
That’s right.
What are you worrying about?
They are ordinary people, yes, but the people around them are not ordinary.
If some bully or bad guy really comes by then... I don't know who I'll be afraid of.
Old Lady Su patted her legs and said, "Disperse!"
The young women obeyed the old woman's words and immediately got up to clean the kitchen when their mother said it was time to go.
While I was watching the fun, I had already finished my meal and it was time to wash the dishes.
A woman should only take care of the pot and stove at home. As for any storm outside, that is an external matter and there is no need to worry about it.
But no one expected the prophecy to come true so soon.
Early the next morning, a large group of people poured into Tubeishan. After arriving, they did not go anywhere but gathered outside the Su family courtyard.
When Su Da got up in the morning and opened the door, he saw a crowd of people with black eyes outside, and he was scared to death.
