Chapter 130: Fight poison with poison, the most poisonous one wins
The carriage left Bai Mansion.
The bearded man sat in the carriage. The small space was quiet and stuffy, forming a sharp contrast with the noisy and bustling outside.
When passing the south of the city, he tilted his head and looked through the car window at the most conspicuous Wangque Tower. The building was luxuriously decorated. Although it was not inlaid with gold and jade, it was extremely luxurious and could be regarded as a scene in the chaotic city.
"Boss, do you want to go to Wangque Tower?" the coachman asked boldly.
The bearded man withdrew his gaze. "No need for that. Bai Xiaofeng has always been arrogant, and I can't get any favors from him. Fortunately, he never interferes in these matters..."
Even if Bai Xiaofeng intervened, Pier 12 would be powerless.
Among the three major forces in the Land of Exile, Wangque Tower is the most mysterious.
So far, no one knows Bai Xiaofeng's origin, and no one can find his weakness. In the eyes of Big Beard, this is a person who gives him more headaches than Bai Kui.
At least Bai Kui still has a son whom he cherishes dearly.
Bai Xiaofeng? He didn't care about anything, including the businesses in his city.
Even if the entire Wangque Tower was demolished, he could turn around and build two more Wangque Towers and tear the people who demolished them into pieces.
"Bai Kui has several batches of goods in transit at Pier 12. Seize them first and give them to him in ten days or half a month," he said.
"Gang leader?"
"We have to let him know who shares the same interests with him." He didn't believe Bai Kui so easily based on just a few words.
Everyone can say something, but what they do in the end is another matter.
No matter what, Tu Beishan must not get up!
…
To the foot of the northern mountain, outside the reed marsh.
The villagers of Tubei are collectively digging holes and planting trees.
Tianbao had a grass ring on his little head and was waving a small hoe in his hand beside his grandmother.
"Grandma, are we going to plant a pear tree?" the child asked while digging a hole, his eyes sparkling.
Old Lady Su, who was sorting through saplings brought down from the mountain, scoffed at her, "No, you can't plant pear trees here. Your poisonous grandfather said he'd plant some kind of miasma forest here. Miasma is poisonous. How can you eat the fruit from the pear trees here?"
Tianbao scratched his little head and said, "Yes, you can eat it. First, eat the poisonous pear, and then let Poison Grandpa detoxify it."
But grandma said we can’t plant it.
Then she won’t plant it.
Everyone around was busy, digging holes and planting seedlings seriously.
Tianbao looked around and saw a figure digging a hole diligently beside a big rock.
While grandma was busy and not paying attention to him, Tianbao grabbed a handful of saplings from the pile on the ground, grabbed a sapling and walked behind the man, poking his back with his little finger.
Wei Li turned around, his eyes dark and quiet, and said in a low voice, "Sweet baby."
The sapling was thrust in front of him, and behind it, a little baby with a delicate face said, "You plant it."
"This is--"
"Pear tree seedling."
"Grandma Su doesn't allow you to plant." Although Wei Li was concentrating on his work, he heard the conversation between Grandma Su and the little kid.
Tianbao nodded, with an expression that said I know, "I won't plant it, you plant it."
"..." The words couldn't be interpreted like that. Wei Li pursed his lips and gently advised, "Tian Bao, you can't eat the fruits grown here. They will be poisonous."
"I don't eat it, the flowers are beautiful."
“If you want to see flowers, you need to plant a large area to see them.”
"I just love looking at a flower."
Wei Li was speechless, feeling powerless like a scholar meeting a soldier.
The pear tree sapling was finally planted in the small hole he had just dug.
The little baby was satisfied and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Over there, three little boys quickly gathered around the baby, chattering and whispering, "Tianbao, I saw it. You asked Ali to plant the fruit seedlings!"
"That's a pear tree, just like the one we have in our garden!"
"Where did you find it? Do you have any more? I'll help you plant it too!"
The little baby leaned back with his small body, and the old man looked at the baby like an old man, "Don't help, you will get beaten."
Wei Li heard it with his own ears again, "..."
So we asked him to sow the seeds because we were not afraid of him getting beaten.
The whole village worked together and spent several days planting saplings in the area outside the reed marsh. If there were not enough saplings on the mountain, they would plant small trees and thorny vines to make up the number.
Outside the newly planted woods, a stone tablet was erected on the roadside with the words "Tubei Village" engraved on it.
From this moment on, Tubei Village truly established its boundaries.
None of the villagers asked any questions about this.
The backbone of the entire village is the Su family, Poison Master, Lord Broken Knife and Mr. Huo and his group.
They do whatever the backbone says, without saying anything and without doubting.
The water in Qinghe River had deteriorated. The villagers had known about this two days ago, but it did not cause panic.
For some reason, everyone believed that as long as they were in Tubei Village, they would be protected no matter what happened.
Near dusk, Du Buiqin, who had disappeared for two days, came back. When he came back, his face was stretched out and his eyes were rolling up to the sky.
"That bastard with the big beard has been on guard against me since the beginning. Damn him, how could he do that?"
Sitting in the Su family's kitchen, Du Buqun was drinking large-leaf tea in one hand and making pancakes with the other, eating while cursing.
"The source of the Qing River is near the Seventh Branch. I figured if he was going to take over the Qing River, he'd have to control the entire source, and the Seventh Branch would be heavily manned. But when I happily ran over, I found the entire branch deserted—not even a soul! I was even wondering if he was up to something, because he'd been hiding in a cave near the branch for two days!"
It's been two days!
I waited so long, but got nothing.
What kind of manpower and defense and what kind of tricks, he overestimated that bastard with the big beard.
The other party’s biggest trick was to trick him into feeding mosquitoes in a cave for two days!
Tian Bao squatted in front of the old man and looked up at his face. Finally, he stood up and looked him over carefully from front to back and left to right. He was puzzled and said, "No mosquito bites."
Du Buqin tutted his words and snorted with a smug laugh, "You underestimated Grandpa Du, didn't you? You think a tiny bit of mosquito poison could give me a mosquito bite? Grandpa Du is telling you, any mosquito that bites Grandpa Du will die!"
Tianbao, “…”
The Su family, "..."
Fight poison with poison, and the more poisonous one will win.
"The bearded man has withdrawn all the personnel from the branch offices around Qinghe. He doesn't dare to confront me head-on. Using such tactics is disgusting! After I'm done eating, I'll go find Huo Ziheng and ask him to come up with some strategies. We can't just let this go. I hate being played around with!"
"The water in the Qing River is no longer drinkable. The drinking water the villagers have stored at home can only be used for three days at most. After that, they will need to find water." Old Man Su frowned and pondered. "Master Du, do you have any solution?"
Regardless of what is happening outside, this is the top priority in Tubei Village.
People’s daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, cannot be separated from water.
He swallowed another mouthful of bread and took the refill of warm tea that Su Xiu'er had given him. After returning to the Su family's courtyard, the resentment that had accumulated in his heart had mostly dissipated. Du Buwei felt relieved. He glanced at Old Man Su with his triangular eyes and laughed, "What's the big deal? I'll take care of it in a while!"
