Chapter 336: Beating the Refugees
The refugees' eyes flickered, but no one dared to speak.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement." The village head turned and looked at the villagers. "Let's go back to the village! Since they're willing to fight and be beaten, there's nothing we can say!"
The villagers turned and left, and the refugees could no longer bear it and cried out regardless of anyone else.
"Zhuanglizheng! Folks of Heihe Village! Don't leave!"
"Help us! These guys rely on their martial arts skills to bully us all day long. Anyone who doesn't obey them will be beaten by them!"
"We're new here, and we don't know who to turn to for help. We can only bear it!"
"What are you talking about? Don't wrongly accuse us!" the bearded man threatened. "Don't forget, we see each other every day!"
The refugees immediately stopped talking.
"I'll see you sooner or later? I think you're overthinking it!" Ye Yanping walked over, "Get out of here right now! Heihe Village doesn't welcome people like you!"
The bearded man grinned, revealing a row of yellow teeth. "I can leave, but if you drive me away today, I can still come back tomorrow..."
Before he could finish his words, Ye Yanping grabbed his arm.
Ye Yanping lifted him up high and then smashed him down heavily.
"Ah!" The bearded man screamed as he lay on the ground. "My waist! My waist is broken! What are you guys still standing there for? Heihe Village hurt me, I need them to pay for my medicine!"
"Give me the money!" Several others rushed over with ready positions.
"A bunch of shameless trash!" Ye Yanping kicked them several feet away one by one.
Several people lay on the ground howling, "How could there be such a capable fighter in Heihe Village? If we had known this would happen, we wouldn't have come here!"
"Send them to the yamen!" ordered the head of the village.
The villagers took out ropes and tied up the men.
The refugees thanked him in unison, but they couldn't help but worry, "Village head, even if these scoundrels go to the government office, at most they'll just get a few beatings. We're worried they'll come back for revenge later!"
"Don't worry, they can't come!" Ye Yanping shouted, "We will make it clear with the county magistrate and expel these people from Xianchuan County. They can go back to where they came from. Xianchuan County has no room for such scum!"
"That would be great!"
The refugees felt relieved, grateful but also a little ashamed. "Thanks to Heihe Village, it's only our fault for being useless and causing you this trouble!"
"Since we came here, you have been helping us wholeheartedly. We are grateful, but we have no way to repay you. We only hope to repay your kindness in the future!"
"You're so polite!" the village head said loudly. "We've experienced years of drought before, and we understand the suffering. Frankly speaking, Heihe Village won't have many days of good times left! But you've come all the way here, and we can't just sit there and watch you suffer."
"Thank you, Zhuang Lizheng, you are such kind-hearted people!" The refugees were very grateful.
Ever since they learned that the capital had issued a ban, they felt more and more that they were very lucky.
First, I was lucky that I was quick enough to escape from the capital.
Secondly, I was lucky to meet such warm and kind villagers in Heihe Village.
Just a few days after arriving in Heihe Village, they were deeply moved by the village.
"In fact, before we came here, we were mentally prepared to be looked down upon and rejected," said the refugees.
"After all, Heihe Village is an inn business, and they only serve wealthy people. If we all rush in, not only will we have no extra money to spend, but we will also cause you a lot of trouble."
"I didn't expect that instead of looking down on us, you enthusiastically planned a plot of land for us and helped us build a house. We weren't even related, but you were so busy with our concerns that you even neglected your crops. We were truly touched."
As the refugees spoke, they couldn't help but shed tears.
For those who left their hometown and lived with others, the actions of Heihe Village really warmed their hearts.
They never expected that the villagers of Heihe Village, who were rumored to be rich, were so warm and simple, helping them with everything personally, and even enduring more hardships than they did.
The village head waved his hand and said, "There's no need to express your gratitude. I saw you guys were busy building the house, and I know you really want to stay."
"But I still want to remind you all, as the saying goes, people fear fame just as pigs fear weight. Heihe Village is now so big that it attracts the wind. No one can predict what will happen tomorrow. It's not too late for you to leave now."
The refugees looked at each other in confusion.
A tall, thin man stepped out. "Zhuang Lizheng, we understand what you mean. You're doing this for our own good. But since we've come here with our families, there's no reason to turn back."
"Let's be honest. The main reason we left the capital wasn't because of natural disasters, but because there was a star of misfortune there! We came to Heihe Village for the lucky star here! As long as the lucky star is in Heihe Village, we're not afraid of anyone who comes to cause trouble!"
“Cough, cough, cough!” The village head coughed until his face turned red. “Who told you that Heihe Village has a lucky star?!”
The man smiled and said, "No one needs to tell us. We can see it with our eyes, hear it with our ears, and feel it in our hearts! Heihe Village is a place blessed by the lucky star. We have come to the right place!"
"Right!" the other refugees said in unison, "Don't worry, Zhuang Lizheng, we traveled thousands of miles to Heihe Village not on impulse, but because we had thought it through long ago!
"Since we are here, we will never regret it!"
"If anything happens in the future, we will definitely stand together with Heihe Village!"
The village head waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please don't rush to express your determination. In short, since you are here, Heihe Village will do its best to help you; if you want to leave, Heihe Village will not stop you. But if anyone stays here and stirs up trouble and tries to do something immoral, Heihe Village will not tolerate it!"
The man said, "Don't worry, Zhuanglizheng. I have seen clearly in the past few days that except for those who caused trouble, everyone is an honest person."
The village head said solemnly, "There were a few people in Heihe Village with bad intentions before, and they were all killed by thunderbolts. Let me be frank today: harming others will only harm yourself. Those with bad intentions will definitely not have a good end!"
The refugees nodded in awe, "We'll remember this!"
The village head led the villagers of Heihe Village out.
"By the way, most of the people setting up stalls outside are from other places, so you just have to rely on your own abilities to make money."
"Understood! Zhuang Lizheng, if we perform well, can we be incorporated into Heihe Village and become Heihe Village residents?"
The village head said, "Heihe Village will not mistreat anyone who sincerely treats Heihe Village. Look at the surrounding villages. Even those who are not Heihe Village residents are living a more and more prosperous life. This is because they are united with Heihe Village, and good things are coming to them!"
