Chapter 272 Spy
At night, in a dark room, the second elder was fighting against a tall man.
The Great Elder's eyes widened in anger as he cried, "I did everything you said, but why haven't we grown anything yet, while they've had a bumper harvest? Now no one trusts me anymore, and we're all starving to death. You're on that side, so you can rest easy. But don't get complacent. If I tell them you're a spy and have betrayed them, they won't tolerate you either."
In the darkness, a man's deep voice rang out: "Second Elder, please be patient. I have another plan."
"you say."
The man walked to the side of the second elder and whispered in his ear.
…
The second season of rice has been planted this year, and it is time to fertilize the rice. Ye Li, an agricultural guidance expert, naturally has to inspect the greenhouse. The amount of fertilizer must be controlled to ensure the vigorous growth of the rice.
Ye Li was accompanied by Li Sangtian and others to the fields. Looking around, he saw people standing everywhere on the ridges of the fields. These people were all skinny and bony, and they were obviously from the second elder's side.
There was something wrong with the expressions of these people, with a vicious look in their eyes.
"Where is Li Yuan?" Ye Li asked hurriedly.
"I guess they are in the greenhouse. The tomatoes in the greenhouse have been growing very well recently. There are so many that we can't eat them all. Li Yuan is picking tomatoes with a group of people inside." Li Sangtian replied.
"Let's hurry up and go straight to the greenhouse." Ye Li, Li Sangtian and others quickened their pace and walked towards the greenhouse.
Suddenly, a loud shout erupted from the Second Elder's camp: "Charge! Take back what belongs to us!"
The people gathered on the ridges of the fields crossed the boundary and rushed towards Ye Li's fields full of various crops.
"Run!" Ye Li shouted and took the lead to run quickly into the greenhouse. He couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't bring Xiaomu and Xixi here.
In the current situation, the most important thing is to save lives. As for the crops, just plant them again.
"Li Yuan!" Li Sangtian rushed in and shouted loudly.
When Li Yuan heard the sound, he quickly picked up the gun beside him and ran towards Ye Li with his men. "What happened?"
"The people from the Second Elder's side are here to steal things!" Li Sangtian said in a trembling voice.
"Follow me." Li Yuan loaded his gun and walked out with his men.
"Hurry up and grab it!" There was chaos outside, and Li Yuan and his friends' vegetable fields were trampled into a mess by the people from the second elder's side.
"Stop it!" Li Yuan fired a shot into the air and shouted, "If you don't stop, I'll shoot!"
The people on the Second Elder's side were frightened by the gunshots and immediately scattered. Fortunately, when the camps were divided, the guns were not distributed to the Second Elder's side, otherwise the situation would have been even more chaotic.
Driven away by Li Yuan, all those who had gone to the fields to rob things dispersed.
Ye Li listened to the noise outside the greenhouse and laughed angrily. The Second Elder was really good at scheming. He was sure that the people on his side would not really kill them, so he came to rob things without fear.
"Everyone has been driven away." Li Yuan came in to report.
Since the Second Elder had no good intentions, he would show no mercy. Ye Li ordered, "Li Yuan, gather the strongest men in the tribe, grab sticks, and surround our fields. Anyone who dares to come up and rob will have their legs broken."
"Okay." Li Yuan agreed and immediately went to gather people.
Li Sangtian came over, wiping his cold sweat, and said to Ye Li, "We can use tough measures to stop them temporarily, but we can't be on guard against them forever. We still have to work on the farm to support our families."
"Spread the word and tell the people over there. If you want to have enough food, it's easy. Just come work for us and we'll give you the food you need. There's no such thing as free food."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Li Sangtian hurried to do it.
