She came from the Eastern Wasteland Continent and lived for over a hundred years, but her brother was not. He was a real seven-year-old child. Before she came, he had suffered a lot on the road to escape the famine, and he had matured a lot.
"Yes, after we pick up Mom and Dad, I'll come back to pick you up," Sang Yu said. He still had to maintain his older brother demeanor in front of his sister. A brother's job was to take good care of his sister. To protect her.
"Okay, Xiaojin, wait for brother to pick me up." Sang Jin agreed with him. What bad intentions could a child have?
Mu Yan took Sang Yu and flew out of the city on a sword. The sword was bought for him by Miss Sang Jin with 100,000 spirit stones.
He had practiced for two or three days, and was able to fly for a while with Sang Yu alone. But with an adult, it wouldn't work. He needed to practice his sword-controlling skills more.
Flying for the first time, Sang Yu was incredibly excited. He wasn't afraid at all; he thought it was fun. He also wanted to quickly build his foundation so he could fly like Mu Yan.
He could take his sister with him when the time came. He just didn't know if his sister would break through to the foundation-building stage before him. It didn't matter, he could always take his brother with him.
But Sang Yu and Mu Yan waited from morning till evening, but no one from Shengdan Village showed up. How could so many people disappear? Could something have happened and delayed them along the way? What they didn't know was that the people from Shengdan Village had actually arrived the previous night.
In order to see his grandson and granddaughter sooner, Old Man Sang led the villagers on a fast pace and did not rest for long.
It was already evening when we arrived, and coincidentally, soldiers were saying that Qianyu City was hiring workers. The pay was one tael of silver a month, plus a bag of rice. The rice could be given in advance, so anyone who signed up to work would get it. A bag of rice weighed 20 kilograms.
As long as they were strong men, the people of Shengdan Village hadn't lost many along the way. Naturally, there were more young and strong men. Those who could follow the Sang family to practice would naturally not be bribed by such small favors.
But those without spiritual roots still had to make a living. Didn't they follow the village all the way south just to find a place to settle down?
The government was hiring, and the pay was pretty good. As long as they signed up, their entire family would have a place to live. So some people from Shengdan Village signed up. Qianyu City was also good; there was no drought, and no shortage of water.
"Come on, come on, there's a fight going on on the mountain over there. I don't know where these immortals came from, but they beat up all the officers and soldiers." said a passerby.
"Really? Well done! I've been fed up with that group of people for a long time. They just bully the weak all day long." said the second passerby.
"You all rushed over to see this excitement, you're really brave." Passerby Three.
"I heard that a very powerful immortal beat up the county magistrate in order to protect a group of people. I heard that the group of people were very united and fought against the officers and soldiers together. Those hundreds of officers and soldiers were no match for the more than a thousand people." A passerby said.
"Then hurry up and go. If you're late you won't be able to see the excitement. I also want to see the county magistrate being beaten." Passerby Three.
What was going on? Someone dared to attack the soldiers. Hundreds of soldiers were no match for them. What kind of people were they? Since ancient times, the people never fought against the officials. Someone actually dared to resist the soldiers. Such excitement was naturally not to be missed.
"Brother Mu Yan, why don't we go and see what's going on? My dad and the others might be late. It won't be too late." Sang Yu said. The child couldn't suppress his curiosity.
"Come on, come up. Let's go take a look." Mu Yan was fourteen years old, a teenager. He wasn't just curious; he was wondering if that powerful immortal was Young Master Lu. He was protecting a group of people, and their number matched the number of people in Shengdan Village. So he wanted to confirm it.
"Okay, I can fly again." Sang Yu jumped onto Mu Yan's flying sword and hugged his thighs tightly.
Mu Yan controlled his flying sword and flew in the direction people said. Soon he was above the scene of the incident and found a relatively safe place to land.
This place is very close to where the soldiers were fighting. They are located above the chaos. There seems to be a coal mine up ahead. Could it be that the government is sending these people to dig for coal? Mu Yan wondered.
Indeed, the government recruited people just to sell them to dig coal in the mountains. They had no rest for months and years, let alone the promised monthly salary of one ounce of silver. Besides the bag of rice they were given, they received nothing.
The young men from Shengdan Village had been following the soldiers for a day, and the more astute ones immediately realized they were being sold into illegal coal mining. Naturally, they refused, and so a fight ensued.
As for how the other people from Shengdan Village got here, that was all thanks to Sang Jin. Sang Jin had Old Man Sang send a few signal fireworks to all the cultivators in Shengdan Village.
This signal firework is very common. Sang Jin bought it in the county town before. It is used to prevent people from getting lost due to too many people.
Among those who signed up for the work, Deputy Clan Leader Zhou Dahe gave one of them a signal firework, telling him to set off the signal if anything happened, and he would bring the villagers to rescue them.
"Zhou Fugui was right. There must be something fishy about such a good thing." People who can become village chiefs have to be more cunning than ordinary villagers.
Zhou Fugui had previously given the villager the signal fireworks. He said they were all from our village, so we didn't demand a good place to stay. We just needed to ensure their safety. If there was an explosion, they could be protected in time. Shengdan Village hadn't had an easy journey.
"Deputy clan leader, stop complaining here. We know we were wrong. These hateful officers and soldiers." They were not hateful officers and soldiers. If it were not for the order from the elder above, how could these officers and soldiers do this so blatantly.
"Stop it, stop it now!" County Magistrate Zhang shouted loudly with a pig head on his head.
He was just selling refugees to work in the coal mines, just like he always does. Those refugees he sold to work in the coal mines were volunteers. He also provided food to support their families.
But they hit a wall this time. Those refugees who hadn't signed up to work were no ordinary people; almost every one of them was a cultivator. The soldiers couldn't defeat them, and were simply surrounded and beaten by the refugees.
"Stop. This is the county magistrate of Qianyu City," Li Jingyu said. He understood the principle of capturing the leader first.
The villagers stopped only after hearing Master Yu's words to stop. Master Yu was their patron saint.
"You can leave now. Can you please not tell anyone about this?" Magistrate Zhang was still hoping for a lucky break. The law doesn't punish everyone; even if he reported this to the emperor, his official hat would be in jeopardy.
