By this time, the battle on Xiao Yi's side had basically ended. Sure enough, not a single one was left alive, including the family heads. Corpses lay scattered all over the ground at the entrance of Chaoyang Manor.
"Boss, Xiao Yi has lived up to expectations."
He looked somewhat agitated, as if he hadn't yet calmed down from the intense battle.
"Well done, your recent training has definitely paid off." Losi nodded in satisfaction.
This can be considered their army's first battle since its establishment, and the result was acceptable.
Xiao Yi wanted to hear Luo Xi say, "It's all thanks to the headmaster's excellent guidance."
Loxi chuckled: "Let's clean up the battlefield."
"Yes!" Xiao Yi looked at the weapons scattered all over the ground, and he was overjoyed.
At this moment, Rong Bai dragged Jin Xin, who was beaten like a pig, over and asked, "Boss, where is this guy?"
Before Luo Xi could speak, Jin Xin knelt heavily in front of Luo Xi with a "thud": "Boss, spare my life! I was just momentarily bewitched and listened to that villain Zhu Da's instigation to come and cause trouble for you."
"I really didn't mean to go against you. Please forgive me this time. I will definitely listen to you in everything from now on."
He was crying so hard that snot and tears streamed down his face, and with that pig-like face, he looked incredibly pitiful.
Luo Xi didn't care why he came; all she knew was that this man had just brought his men over, intending to kill her.
As for Zhu Da, she had her own plans.
"Rong Bai, since you have a grudge against him, this matter is entrusted to you. Remember, don't be soft-hearted," she instructed.
Rong Bai grinned: "Don't worry, boss. I've never known what it means to be soft-hearted when it comes to my enemies."
After Rong Bai pulled Jin Xin away, who was squealing like a pig, Yin Li hesitated and asked, "Boss, what about... those people's clansmen?"
He was worried about their retaliation, but he also knew that there were probably more innocent people among those tribesmen.
Si Jia glanced at the corpses scattered all over the manor entrance and her heart tightened.
Boss Luo is good in every way, except... he's a bit bloodthirsty.
She... she's not going to slaughter all the members of those major families, is she?
There are quite a few children and women in there.
Luo Xi noticed the expressions on their faces: "Xiao Yi, Yin Li, you two take some men to the county town immediately..."
She paused for a moment: "Kill everyone involved in this on the spot, and expel the rest from Tongning County."
Yin Li felt relieved and smiled: "Yes, Chief."
His luck was indeed very good this time.
The leader is decisive yet true to his principles, which is the kind of master he wants.
Si Jia smiled slightly as she stood to the side.
Luo Xi then called Wei Qing over: "You organize some people to make some oxcarts to carry water to the well that Jin Xin found, and distribute some water to the people who live far away and have no water."
"As for those who live nearby, let them go and line up to collect them themselves."
Wei Qing's eyes lit up: "On behalf of the people, I thank you, Chief."
"Don't get too excited yet." Luo Xi glanced at him again: "This can only solve the immediate problem, and it's very time-consuming and laborious."
"We need to find more water sources."
Wei Qing smiled gently and scratched his forehead: "I know, but I'm very happy that the chief thinks of the people first."
Still the same as always, Luo Xi shook her head.
When the people of the county town learned that Luo Xi had asked them to line up at Jin Xin's well to collect water, they were overjoyed.
"Really? Aren't people like them supposed to never care about other people's lives? Like that Jin Xin, who even sent people to guard the well for twelve hours a day, not letting us even take a peek. Is this Chief Luo really that kind-hearted?"
"I heard it's true. She even asked that Lord Wei to organize people to fetch water to more distant places to distribute, in case it was inconvenient for the people to come."
"Is that Lord Wei who was branded a traitor for his work for the people? Then it must be him. The chief is really good."
"Stop talking and let's go. My house is out of water too. Now I'm saved from dying of thirst."
Those who still harbored some resentment towards Luo Xi for occupying Tongning County lost their last bit of discomfort, and some even hoped that she could move to the city soon.
Loxi was originally going to move, but after thinking about it, she decided to resolve the water issue first.
Even after Xiao Yi drove away the members of the major families, they still had no clue what to do.
Zhu Da, who already knew the plan had failed, was immediately overjoyed.
"Hahaha, great! Loxi, you may have survived the man-made disaster, but you can't escape the natural disaster, can you?"
"Tsk tsk, I wonder what a beauty would look like as a dried-up corpse?" He was quite looking forward to it.
The messenger: "..."
"Sir, the disaster situation in our county is... about the same."
So, what exactly are you happy about?
They themselves don't even know what's going on.
"Shut up, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak." As the county magistrate, how could Zhu Da not know this?
"Go, add another layer of guards to the place where I store water, so that no one can steal it."
As long as he doesn't die of thirst, it's none of his business whether others have water to drink.
The constable felt a chill run down his spine: "Yes, sir."
"What about Chaoyang Manor..."
"Have someone keep an eye on them," Zhu Da said bitterly. "This time, we absolutely cannot let them find the water source. Even if they do, destroy it for me."
He refused to believe he couldn't kill that filthy woman.
"Yes, sir!"
Luo Xi had no time to care about Zhu Da's antics; she was currently preoccupied with finding water.
It's already past midnight, and they've only just returned from discussing things in the lobby.
"Master, why don't you rest for a couple of days first, and then we'll think of something else?" Liu Xiaoyu said tenderly, massaging Luo Xi's head to relieve his fatigue.
“I want to too,” Rose sighed with her eyes closed. “But this can’t be delayed, otherwise we won’t be able to plant winter wheat.”
There are also seeds of Si Jia; he needs a lot, and Rosie hasn't been willing to soak them for him yet.
If all else fails, we'll have to use the well water from Jin Xin's place for now.
I only heard from Wei Qing that the water over there was scooped out as soon as it flowed out, and it couldn't accumulate.
Liu Xiaoyu didn't know what to say, so she massaged Luo Xi's head and back, hoping that Luo Xi would feel better the next day.
"Your cooking skills are getting better and better." Luo Xi lay on the bed, chatting casually with her.
Before I knew it, my eyelids slowly closed.
'Sigh, I kind of miss the water-based superpowers from the apocalypse. I used to think they were pretty useless.'
These were her last thoughts before she fell asleep.
Suddenly, Rosie felt her soul float up, pass through the wall, and then scatter in all directions. The guards patrolling at the gate, the plants and trees in the courtyard, and the insects in the soil all appeared before her eyes.
Although Rosie couldn't see their appearance clearly, she could sense what they were.
Could it be that she has awakened a psychic ability?
