"Let's go to Pinghe Village and demand an explanation from them."
"Yes, these things wouldn't have happened if they hadn't just washed their hands of it."
"We need to make them compensate us for our losses."
“My poor Apo, it’s all because of that Heiwa Village that you’ve been harmed. It’s all their fault.”
Many people were suddenly agitated. Instead of checking how many poultry they still had or how much damage they could salvage, they grabbed their weapons and headed towards Pinghe Village.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, several village chiefs quickly came out to stop it.
But at this moment, everyone ignored them completely and walked past them.
Those living near the Xin San Village Tulou were all relatives of Pinghe Village. Everyone tried to persuade them, but they wouldn't listen at all. Whether they wanted to take advantage of Pinghe Village or vent their dissatisfaction, all they could think about was causing trouble.
"These people are courting death. They'll only learn their lesson when they suffer the consequences." The village chiefs gave up in despair.
Sometimes they feel incredibly regretful. Why did they ever think of merging several villages together? Because of their petty scheme, they have completely offended the entire Pinghe Village. If they let these people cause trouble again, they will never be able to live in peace with each other again.
The villagers of Hutiao Village and Xinsan Village were also awakened by the noise. The villagers of both villages gathered at their village entrances. When they saw them walking towards them in a large procession, they surrounded them and asked what was going on.
When they heard that these villages were going to cause trouble for Pinghe Village, the two villages, unusually united, guarded the entrance to their village and prevented them from passing through.
“You have no reason to do this. Your poultry are not wild animals from the mountains of Pinghe Village that come down to cause trouble. This is bullying.” Village Chief Shi took his megaphone from the wall and shouted at the villages.
"If they hadn't abandoned their duties, those animals wouldn't have been so rampant."
"Where is your face? Don't you know why they abandoned us?" After saying this, Old Zhao turned around and told the villagers to close the gate and not let them into the village.
"Anyway, they bear some responsibility, and they should compensate us for our losses."
"I don't think you want to suffer losses; you're trying to take advantage of the situation. Don't think you can act recklessly just because Village Chief Si and the others aren't in the village. With your numbers, you wouldn't be able to get into Pinghe Village." Captain Liu exposed their ulterior motives in one sentence.
The other party didn't care; they just wanted to vent their frustrations. "Get out of our way, and we'll show you whether we can get into Pinghe Village."
“Even if Pinghe Village is an impregnable fortress, we will still break through it this time.”
Yun Qi had already led his team out to check the situation while the commotion was still going on, but he never expected to hear such words.
She was originally going to go up the mountain with them, but this time Si Cheng persuaded her to stay, saying that since Hou Yunhai and the others who were good at martial arts were also going into the mountains, the village needed someone to keep an eye on things.
Yunqi is usually among the top performers in training and competitions, and many people are usually intimidated by her. At this time, she can stay in the village to help manage it for a period of time.
Yun Qi, no longer willing to hold back, stepped forward directly. "Oh, you've got quite the nerve. We've only let you stay here for a short time, and you already want to take over? What? You can't even fit in here? You want to stay in our Pinghe Village?"
"We just want you to compensate us for our losses. If you hadn't suddenly abandoned us, this disaster wouldn't have happened. You must take responsibility!" someone shouted in the darkness.
The villagers of Pinghe Village were so angry at their shameless statement that they laughed. Yun Mancang said, "So you came here to drink water and got choked because we didn't manage the lake well?"
The other party fell silent this time, but Yun Qi wasn't going to let them off the hook. "Where are the village chiefs from your villages? Tell them to come out."
Yun Qi didn't want to deal with these unfamiliar villagers, so he directly named several village chiefs.
At this moment, the village chiefs from several villages squeezed out from the back of the crowd and said, "This is all a misunderstanding. These people were just acting impulsively. We will educate them properly when we get back."
"Why are you lecturing us? We haven't done anything wrong. And you cowardly village officials, all the able-bodied men in Pinghe Village have gone up the mountain, leaving only these women, the elderly, the weak, and the disabled. What are we afraid of them for?" Someone in the back of the crowd continued to jeer.
Some people were starting to regain their rationality, but now, after being provoked, they feel they should take advantage of the situation.
Yunqi also noticed these changes in them. "Don't be afraid of us. If you have the guts, come up and fight us one-on-one. Don't hide in the back."
The villagers of Pinghe Village all stood behind Yunqi, showing their support for her decision.
"Women should stay at home. What are you doing here trying to be a hero? Get out of here. We don't fight with women." The villager standing in front waved his torch in front of Yunqi.
Yun Qi said, "So you look down on women? Why don't you come up here and have a go? Don't think you can't even beat a woman like me and still want to cause trouble in the village."
Yun Liping and the others also took a step forward, saying, "That's right, come over and spar with us, instead of just talking."
At this point, some people behind them started jeering, "Go for it! What are you afraid of? They're just a few women, it's no big deal if you hit them."
Village Chief Bai and the others angrily shouted back, "Shut up! If you're so eager to shout, then come out yourselves. Why are you just stirring things up from behind?"
Village Chief Gao said, "Now we're all standing together, village by village. Let's not be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives."
The shrewd village chiefs quickly discovered the problem and began to grab several village officials, asking them to help separate the people.
Some people inside were initially uncooperative, so Captain Liu led his men to drag out those who were resisting.
When these people tried to continue arguing, Captain Liu and his team didn't hesitate to take action.
After being punched and kicked, the remaining people calmed down and obediently stood in their respective village positions.
Yunqi, seeing that the people in each village had been dispersed and managed, then spoke up, "Now let's settle the score. You all say that it was because of our Pinghe Village that you suffered this disaster. Who can provide evidence?"
Everyone present fell silent, and not a single person responded.
Yun Qi ignored their questions and continued, "Does our Pinghe Village belong to you, or does it owe you anything? Why should we be responsible for your safety? Just because you live in this area of our village?"
