Chapter 101: Cleaning up Leishan
The crops in the fields would soon be ripe, and they would soon have enough food to eat.
But the villagers now have more than 500 kilograms of food left.
Even if there was, why would they give it away to these greedy disaster victims for no reason? Pah!
The audience in the live broadcast room came to their senses and were amazed.
[These people are really bold in asking for it. They are not afraid of eating themselves to death.]
[Each person weighs 500 kilograms, so the total weight wouldn't be over 10,000 kilograms? That translates to 15 or 16 million star coins. Hiss—]
【Don’t forget the meat. 】
Asking for food and meat is already greedy enough, but everyone also has a space ring? Are they so arrogant? Even the people in Yunlu Village don't have one, not even one per family. What's their reason? Are they so arrogant?
[This is outrageous. Opening the door to outrageous things is outrageous. This is outrageous to the extreme!]
But they didn't expect that something even more outrageous was yet to come.
Uncle Xu added, "The food and meat I just mentioned are just water fees. From now on, when you go to the Great Falls to catch fish, it will be charged separately. You will have to pay a fishing fee every time you catch fish."
The villagers of Yunlu Village were so angry that they laughed.
Li Tie chuckled in anger: "You accuse us of wasting water, saying the waterfall doesn't belong to us. Does that mean it belongs to you? What gives you the right to threaten us with the waterfall's water?"
The audience thought, maybe it's because he's thick-skinned.
Today I got to see what human diversity is.
[I don't understand. Do they think that if they want someone from Yunlu Village, they will definitely give it to them?]
To put it bluntly, it's just greed. The people in the anchor village are living so well, they're feeling unbalanced and are definitely looking for some benefits.
If there weren't any anchors, the people of Yunlu Village might have compromised and given a bit, but with an anchor, hehe, just wait for him to slap you in the face.
Lu Xuan glanced at the comments and was about to say that he had no intention of interfering, but Lei Shan jumped out first.
He pointed at Lei Yan and Lu Qing, who had also just returned, and said, "The others only need 500 kilograms of food, but Lei Yan must give us twice as much!"
Zhao thought of her son who came home crying yesterday and quickly added, "And he also wants that bastard Lu Chen to apologize to my Tianbao and hand over all his candy!"
Villagers: ???
Audience members in the live broadcast room: Oh wow!
This couple is so brave! Why would they want to do this to their own death when they can just live a good life?
They glanced at Lu Xuan, whose face turned cold in an instant. The host was obviously not interested in intervening before, but now, the host's bottom line was touched.
Lu Qing angrily said, "We don't owe you anything, so why should we give you so much food? Asking Chenchen to apologize is out of the question. Lei Tianbao tried to steal Chenchen's things, so we're lucky we didn't come after you."
Lei Shan looked at her with disdain and said impatiently, "You're a woman, do you have the right to speak here?"
He looked at Lei Yan and said, "Look at you. You are being ridden on by a woman, and you still act like a man! You are the only one who treats a hen that doesn't lay eggs like a treasure."
Lei Shan said shamelessly, "Don't you think about it? My Tianbao is your nephew, and I am your eldest brother. We are the closest people. Instead of giving the food to a useless woman like her, why not give it to us? When you are old, Tianbao will be able to take care of you and see you to the end of your life."
"If you don't give us enough food today, don't expect Tianbao to recognize you in the future."
"Shut up!" Lei Yan was furious. "Didn't I tell you not to say bad things about my wife?"
As he spoke, lightning flashed in his palms, and the little supernatural power in his body continued to surge.
But before he made a move, Lu Xuan swung his arm and slapped Lei Shan in the face, sending him flying more than ten meters away.
Then he flashed to Leishan, grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
"Ugh -! Let go, let me go - what are you going to do -" Lei Shan widened his eyes in horror and pain and tried to pull his hand away, but found that Lu Xuan didn't move at all, and the strength in his hand was even getting stronger and stronger.
At the same time, a familiar but stronger electric current rushed into his body, making him numb all over. His whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his struggling hands were also electrocuted and dropped down.
Lu Xuan looked at Lei Shan as if he were looking at a dead object, and his tone was full of calm madness: "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. If you don't want your tongue, I'll cut it off for you."
Lei Shan: “!!!”
Villagers: “!!!”
The audience who were feeling so sorry for Lu Qing that they wanted to crawl along the screen:!!!
[Well done, host! ]
[Deal with this ungrateful and greedy guy with a heavy punch! ]
[It would be better to just break his neck! ]
Lei Shan blushed and said, "You can't—"
Lu Xuan slapped him again with his other hand, "Didn't you hear my brother-in-law tell you to shut up?"
Lei Shan: “You——”
Snap! Another slap.
Lei Shan opened his mouth.
Snap! Another slap.
Lei Shan:! I clearly didn’t say anything!
Lu Xuan saw his indignation and scoffed, "If a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of his father. This is the punishment for your son stealing my brother's things. Your son can't handle a beating, so you deserve to be beaten for him."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the terrified Zhao with an expressionless face.
Zhao thought he was going to beat her too, and she staggered in fear. She tried to run away with a pale face, but was caught by Lu Qing who was prepared.
Lu Qing said fiercely, "Aren't you going to apologize? Aren't you going to get food? Why are you running away?"
"Ah! Let me go!" Zhao screamed in fear.
Not only did Lu Qing not let her go, she also twisted her hands behind her back and pressed her directly to the ground.
Zhao's face hit the ground with a bang, and she screamed in pain again.
She twisted frantically to try to break free, but found that Lu Qing was incredibly strong and could immobilize her with just her hands and legs.
On the other side, Lu Xuan slapped Lei Shan's face rhythmically several times, and soon he turned his head into a pig's.
Lei Shan, with his face bruised and swollen, felt both pain and fear, with tears and snot streaming down his face.
Lu Xuan threw the battered Lei Shan to the ground like garbage, then wiped his hands with a handkerchief. "I thought leaving you paralyzed for a few days should have served as a warning, but it seems some people won't cry until they see the coffin."
Lei Shan, whose consciousness was already a little fuzzy, trembled all over. Lei Yan, who was not far away, had awakened and his five senses became much sharper. He also heard the soft words.
Lei Yan thought of the vine he saw on the day Lei Shan fell on the ground, and looked at Lu Xuan in surprise. Could it be that the vine at that time was a vampire vine?
Is it Lu Xuan who's controlling it? But how could it be...
Could it be that Lu Xuan already knew what was happening here?
Lei Yan was surprised and suspicious, but when he thought about the strength Lu Xuan had always shown, he felt that there seemed to be nothing to doubt.
Seeing the other victims' expressions changed drastically due to the tragic situation on Leishan Mountain, Lei Yan had an idea and took the opportunity to release the condensed supernatural power and drop it in their direction.
Several bolts of lightning "crackled" and landed among the disaster victims, creating several small pits on the ground. The already frightened disaster victims were now in complete chaos.
“Ah! Help!”
They screamed and ran away.
Upon seeing this, the villagers quickly rushed over to stop the man, and started beating him up when they caught him!
"I'll beat you to death if you break our water pipes!"
"You're threatening us for food. Why should we give you the food we bought at such a high price? Bah!"
The villagers, who were filled with anger, punched and kicked them, taking the opportunity to vent their anger.
For example, Fang Dahe and Xu Dabo were able to curse at first, but after being beaten a few more times, they could only wail and beg for mercy or even play the victim.
"It hurts—stop hitting me! We know we were wrong!"
"We just acted on impulse and we won't do it again!"
"I didn't want to do it in the first place. It was Lei Shan who instigated it. If you want to fight, then fight him—"
"Stop fighting! I don't want any more food. No more! Please let me go!"
The victims cried bitterly, looking so miserable, but the villagers, who had been cheated once, had cold expressions and hard hearts. No one felt any sympathy for them anymore.
There is nothing to sympathize with.
These people were not polite at all when they made their demands.
Begging for mercy now? It's too late!
Only after the villagers had vented their anger did Li Tie shout "stop".
The villagers also withdrew their fists in time and breathed a sigh of relief.
So cool!
Audience members in the live broadcast room: We enjoyed it too!
This is how you should respond to those who push their limits, using your fists to scare them away! See if they dare to make any more shameless demands!
Finally, Lu Xuan urged his supernatural powers while giving the victims a cold warning, "If you dare to tamper with our water pipes or any property again, and attempt to seize the waterfall, the fate of these trees will be yours."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless sharp wind blades were released, and with a wave of his hand, five or six trees close to them were smashed to pieces.
Many of the flying debris brushed against the victims' arms and cheeks, leaving several burning wounds on their bodies.
To all disaster victims:!!!
Villagers:!!!
Lu Xuan: "Food or life? It's your choice."
There was no need to choose at all. The victims were completely frightened and ran away screaming and crawling.
-
The villagers fixed the broken water pipes and replaced them with new ones. After watching the water flow again and irrigating the fields again, they gathered together and angrily cursed the victims for their shamelessness.
The audience in the live broadcast room watched with great interest. Keep cursing, we love to hear it!
While everyone was cursing, Lu Xuan said nonchalantly, "They're doing well this way."
The villagers were puzzled: "Is this considered good?"
Lu Xuan said, "At least they didn't burn the crops in a rage, or kill you and eat your meat when you were least prepared, nor did they..."
“Alright, alright!”
"Stop talking, stop talking..."
Just hearing these two possibilities made them shudder and their scalps tingle.
Li Jing hesitated and said, "You are exaggerating. It's too scary."
"Exaggeration?" Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows. "When life is truly unbearable, people will do anything."
Exchanging children for food in times of disaster has been a common practice since ancient times. This is not an exaggeration at all; it is clearly realistic.
"The problem isn't the lack of wealth, but the inequality. Even if the disaster victims haven't reached their wits' end, seeing that we're living better than them, won't they be tempted by greed?"
Everyone fell silent immediately.
Li Jing, Zhang Chengming, Xiong Mao and others couldn't help but think of what Lu Xuan said when he invited them to dinner last time.
Li Tie also looked at Lu Xuan with understanding.
The reason why he couldn’t contact Lu Xuan before might not only be because the latter didn’t want to get involved, but also because he wanted them to make their own decisions and see the consequences?
Do you think you will be appreciated for saving the lives of the disaster victims?
No, all they get is encroachment, greed, and a resentment for every little bit of favor they receive.
"So should we not eat so well in the future to avoid being envied?" Zhang Chengming asked uncertainly.
