Chapter 37 Someone is looking for a fight
Heihe Village belongs to Xianchuan County, located in Ganning County, a small county in the western territory of the Dayu Dynasty.
Ganning County is a small frontier town far away from the capital, but it is very famous in the Dayu Dynasty.
Why?
Because of poverty.
Before, we only knew that a bad reputation would spread far and wide, but Ganning County made everyone understand that a poor reputation would also spread far and wide.
More than 20 years ago, Xiao Chuchen, the brave and warlike god of the country, uncle of the emperor and regent of the Dayu Dynasty, died of a serious illness. After the Dayu Dynasty lost its pillar of defense, the entire dynasty began to decline.
The surrounding countries that had previously submitted to Xiao Chuchen's intimidation began to stir soon after.
Although a lean camel is bigger than a horse, after so many years, Dayu's national strength has become increasingly weak, while its neighboring countries have become increasingly powerful. They are unscrupulous and frequently harass Dayu's territory.
The imperial court received numerous memorials from border prefectures and counties complaining about looting by neighboring countries, but the one from Ganning County was the only one missing.
The emperor believed that this was due to the meritorious governance of Gan Ning County Magistrate, and he was so pleased that he used Gan Ning County as an example in the morning court.
All the civil and military officials in the court hesitated and dared not speak.
It was not until after the court session that the emperor learned that the reason Ganning County was at peace was not because it was able to repel the enemy, but because it was poor!
It is so poor that neighboring countries look down on it and automatically ignore it!
The emperor was so angry that he beat his favorite concubine...
Because of this incident, Ganning County became famous in the Daewoo Dynasty.
This is how parents in Beijing scare their naughty children.
"If you don't obey, I'll send you to Ganning County to eat dirt!"
…
There is always someone better than the poor. Ganning County is poor, and Xianchuan County is the poorest of the poor.
Take Heihe Village for example. It is backed by a mountain, but the mountain is covered with thatch. There is a Wild Bear Ridge further into the mountain, but it is actually a primeval forest. Most people dare not go in to make a living.
There is a river in the village, but due to poor soil and water conditions upstream, the river is full of mud and sand and can only be used to irrigate the fields.
Fortunately, several wells were dug in the village, otherwise we would have to spit out sand every time we drank water.
In addition, the soil is poor, so even in years of good weather, people can only barely make ends meet.
How can such a poor and barren place become a paradise?
The village head felt that it was worse than dreaming!
There is everything in dreams.
Turning around, I found that Ye Buwei had disappeared.
"Hey, Yan Ping's father, where have you been? You still haven't told me how to ram the earth for the city wall?"
The village head can no longer live without the Ye family.
Ye Buwei is his military advisor.
And Xiaojiu is his backbone.
As the sun went down, the temperature dropped, but after a day's work, many people collapsed against the wall and could no longer work.
The village head was eager to feed them the mung bean soup, "Work harder while it's still hot! Build a strong wall so you can sleep well at night!"
At this time, the people standing on the high ground shouted, "Look! Why are there so many people coming towards our village?"
Li Zheng's expression changed. "Hurry up and grab your weapons! The people who want water are coming!"
Not only did the people in Jingui Village fail to steal any water last night, they were also caught red-handed and almost beaten up. After returning home, this group of people had bad intentions. They went to lobby in several other villages and united the young and middle-aged laborers from three villages and headed straight to Heihe Village.
The total number of villagers in Heihe Village is just over a thousand, but today there are over a thousand young and middle-aged laborers coming to grab water!
We had discussed it when we came here today. This battle must be won. Not only must we seize the water, but we must also destroy the wall of Heihe Village, forcing Heihe Village to completely give up resistance and hand over the water source!
If it really doesn't work, beating and killing people is not a problem. Anyway, the county town is in chaos and the county government has no time to take care of them.
In Heihe Village, gongs sounded rapidly, and men, women, old and young, holding farm tools, blocked the entrance of the village. Men stood in the front, followed by women, and finally the elderly and children.
The looters, led by Jinguicun, walked towards us with arrogant steps and without fear.
Seeing that the enemy was far stronger than themselves, the villagers of Heihe Village were so anxious that their palms were full of sweat. After a tiring day, they couldn't even hold their weapons steadily.
Many children were so scared that they started crying.
"Heihe Village, you didn't expect your grandfather to come back so soon!"
The person who spoke was the leader who came to steal water last night. Now it was discovered that he was cross-eyed.
The village head stood at the front with a sullen face. "Jingui Village, Tanjiawan, Baitang Village, Lijiapu, are you bandits?! Where is your village head? I'm going to sue them at the county government office!"
"Zhuang Lizheng, since we are here, we are not afraid of you complaining."
The man with a face full of flesh stepped forward and said, "We came here on our own today. It has nothing to do with our village head! We are all neighbors in the same village, and we don't want to make things too serious. As long as you promise to give us water, we won't make things difficult for you!"
The village head said, "I recognize you. Your father is the village head of Baitang Village. I don't believe you when you say he doesn't know! Go back and tell your father that it's not that Heihe Village doesn't want to give us water, but we just don't have enough water. If we give it to you, we won't be able to survive!"
"Don't listen to him! They dug a reservoir! There's always plenty of water!" Cross-eyed fanned the flames. "That old guy is such a scoundrel! Just catch him and give him a good beating, and everything will be fine!"
The muscular man said, "Village Chief, we're not making such a big scene today to discuss this with you! Whether you agree or not, we're going to take all the water from your village! Surrender and give up the water, or let us give you a beating before you give it up? It's your choice!"
"How ridiculous!" the village headman's voice trembled with anger. "Many villages in Xianchuan County are out of water, and you're the only ones thinking of robbing them! You have the labor to come out and steal water, so why don't you go up the mountain to find water and dig canals? Instead of engaging in such shameful and treacherous acts of robbery?"
The muscular man laughed heartily, his eyes full of contempt. "Old man, we're not here to listen to your reasoning. Once we get some water, I can sit down and listen to you."
The people behind him couldn't hold back any longer.
"Why waste time talking to him? Just get started and beat the hell out of him!"
"Hang the old guy up first!"
The water-grabbing gang rushed forward with loud words.
The villagers of Heihe Village gritted their teeth and bravely faced the enemy.
Water is life, retreat is death.
Just as the two soldiers were about to face each other, a loud shout came: "Get out of the way!"
Ye Yanping rushed out of the crowd with a shovel in his hand.
"who is he?"
"I heard this guy is very strong."
"Tsk, how big can it be? Let's go together!"
Ye Yanping swept over with his iron rod, and the hoes and shovels in the hands of those people flew all over the sky.
A large number of men fell to the ground and screamed "ouch".
"If you want to enter Heihe Village, you have to step over me!" Ye Yanping exuded domineering attitude.
The tiger and the wolf both asked his father for help, so he still had confidence in dealing with just a few people.
The food at home has been good recently, and he has more than enough energy. Since these bastards have come to him, he can have some fun.
The other party obviously did not expect that there was such a capable fighter in Heihe Village, but no matter how capable he was, could he really defeat a thousand enemies alone?
"Everyone, come on, fuck him!"
Ye Yanping picked up the iron shovel and swung it wildly. Wherever he went, there were countless screams, and some people had broken legs, arms, waists, and necks.
Those tall and mighty farmers were nothing but a bunch of weaklings under his iron stick.
Ye Yanping was like playing whack-a-mole in his own vegetable garden, knocking down every one that came up.
"Come on! Come on together!"
Ye Yanping waved to the people behind him.
The people behind him were so frightened that their legs went weak. This man was too scary. "No, no! Let's go now!"
He fled in disgrace, carrying his injured accomplice on his back.
"Hey, why did you leave?"
Ye Yanping scratched his head. Was he a little too harsh?
I can’t do this next time, or I won’t be able to play…
