Chapter 128: Showing off one's sword in front of Guan Gong?
"Big beard?" The Su family's father and son looked at each other.
It turned out that the leader of the Twelve Piers had returned and was looking for revenge.
"Most of the people in our Tubei Village are ordinary people. What should we do? If a fight really breaks out..." Old man Su frowned, with worry in his eyes and eyebrows.
He knew what the situation was at home.
Not to mention that Tianbao has the ability to protect himself and his family, they also have Du Lao and Duan Dao Lord by their side, who are both capable people, and Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo, so it is not a problem for them to protect their own safety.
If the two sides really clash, the casualties will probably be those who have come to Tubei Mountain to seek peace.
Who would have thought that instead of finding peace, disaster would come to him first.
I just want to live, I just want to be alive, why is it so difficult?
The Twelve Piers are such a powerful force, with plenty of food and drink, why do they have to force ordinary people into a desperate situation?
Old Man Su's hands were shaking, he couldn't figure it out.
We are all human beings, why can some people be so evil and greedy?
"Uncle Su, don't think too badly. This could be an opportunity for Tubei Mountain." Huo Ziheng smiled. "The bearded man's move is just to intimidate those who still want to come to Tubei Village. Scare them away, which is equivalent to sidelining us and cutting off our momentum. But if they lose, the Twelve Piers will also become a sacrifice to boost Tubei Village's momentum. Once this matter is resolved, there will be even more people who want to come and seek refuge. In the future, when someone is exiled here, the first place they will think of will definitely be our Tubei Village."
Old Man Su knew that Mr. Huo was knowledgeable and strategic, but he still felt sympathetic when he thought about the many ordinary people who might be sacrificed in a conflict. He sighed, "Sir, we came here just to live a good life. We didn't think about anything else. It didn't matter if anyone came to us or if there was any momentum. What a world this is, alas."
Su Dayi nodded. "We are all farmers. We just want to farm well and live a good life. When we have spare time, we help those who are in the same difficult situation. We don't want anything in life, just a stable life."
Then he changed the subject, looking up at Huo Ziheng intently, "But I also understand that I can't just sit there and keep quiet when I'm bullied, especially in this place of exile. Although I, Su Da, don't have any special talents, I have a lot of courage and strength, and I don't want to be a coward. Mr. Huo, if I can be of any use to you, please feel free to give me orders!"
He is a man, a real man. Protecting his parents, wife, and children, and this family, is his duty and responsibility.
As long as he can be used, he will step forward.
Huo Ziheng looked at the father and son and laughed.
If others had their same luck, knowing that there was a treasure at home, they would have developed countless ambitions long ago.
This is probably one of the reasons why he is willing to make friends with them.
"You and the villagers should continue to do what you normally do, such as farming and tending to the vegetable garden. Don't underestimate our Tubei Village. We are no longer like before, where we can only be bullied."
That afternoon, the gate of the Huo family courtyard was closed, and Du Lao and Duan Dao were invited in.
The people of Tubei Village were all anxious and worried because of what happened at the entrance of the village. They couldn't help but gather together to discuss in low voices, their words full of worry and sighs.
Tianbao, his three brothers and the new kid squatted under the eaves of his own porch, talking about topics among the kids.
"Second uncle hasn't woken up yet. He has been sleeping for a long time. I heard from Xiaoliu that it was Uncle Changdong who knocked Second uncle unconscious. When did Uncle Changdong become so strong? How could he dare to fight?" Su An was dizzy. Listening to the snoring coming from the person lying in the room behind him, he couldn't believe it.
Aren’t Su Wen and Su Wu the same?
The two boys squatted there, their hands on their cheeks, sighing. "My dad can't even beat Uncle Changdong. Oh, what a shame! He always brags about his abilities and strength in front of us, but in the end, Uncle Changdong slapped him and knocked him unconscious. He hasn't woken up yet."
"Uncle Changdong used to be so scared that he wouldn't even look up at people. We kids would get so scared that we'd stick to the door and couldn't get off. How come he suddenly transformed like that? Xiaoliu even said he could fly. How amazing!"
Tian Bao also held her cheek with her hands and gave a blank expression as she concluded, "Master said you can't judge a person by appearance. Even though Grandpa Du is so short, he can fly faster than Uncle Broken Knife. Uncle Changdong is timid but strong, so it's not surprising."
Wei Li squatted at the end of the team, quietly, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Uncle Changdong must be pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger."
Tian Bao turned her head and stared at him, "You can't judge a person by his appearance, right?"
“…You’re right.”
Tianbao nodded, quite satisfied with the answer.
What her master taught her cannot be wrong.
Seeing that it was still early and the family had not started preparing dinner yet, Tianbao stood up, put his hands behind his back, and skipped out.
Su An and the other two immediately followed, "Tian Bao, where are you going? Grandpa Du is at the master's house to discuss something, and Uncle Broken Knife is also there. There's no one to play with us."
Tianbao turned around and pointed outside the village with her little hand, "Yes, go look for it, there might be something missing."
“…” The three little legs trembled, and they felt like peeing.
No, Tianbao, are you scaring your brothers?
Those people can fly, why are you joining in the fun, and trying to find the ones who are left out?!
Is that something that can be missed?!
Four little hands simultaneously grabbed the hem of the baby's clothes. In addition to the three older brothers, there was also Wei Li's hand.
Tian Bao frowned and looked up at the sky. When will Bao grow up? She is still small and people don’t believe she can beat people.
She really can.
She is best at sneak attacks.
"How dare you," the little kid showed two little fingers, indicating a small distance. After thinking for a moment, he reduced the distance even further, and then stood in front of the four people. "This big."
Four,"……"
I was insulted, but I still couldn't let go.
This is not something to be taken lightly. If anything happens to my sister, grandma alone will be able to take the blame, not to mention Grandpa Du and the others.
These boys are worthless.
Tianbao was bored, so he pulled back his clothes, turned around and sat on the threshold of the yard, holding his little face with his ears perked up, eavesdropping openly.
At this distance, she could clearly hear the voices of her master, Grandpa Du and the others.
"...Big Beard has always been ruthless and full of vicious schemes. Sending people outside to kill innocent people is probably just one of his methods. The survival of the people is nothing more than food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Another area where he can use strategies is food. And 'food', whether it's growing crops or eating, requires water. The clear river outside the village must also be in his calculations. Old Poison, I'll trouble you with that river."
"You mean the bearded man is going to poison that river? The easiest way to poison the water source is to poison it. His plan is too stupid. I'm in Tubei Village and I'm invincible! Isn't his playing with poison like showing off his sword in front of Guan Gong? He's been on the canal for so long that his brain has gone crazy."
