Volume 2, Chapter 67: Being Bullied
Dong Chunlei and others were stunned, and then started arguing.
"If we are not allowed to go up the mountain, how can we build a house without stones?"
"Without the humus soil on the mountains, how can we cultivate fertile fields? Can we grow crops from gravel fields?"
"If we are not allowed to go up the mountain, what will we burn? What will we use to build a house?"
"Don't let people live anymore?"
"I won't live anymore! I won't live anymore! I'll risk my life!"
As soon as Higashi Arita saw that a fight was about to start, he blew several sharp whistles.
Shangguan Ruoli was taking Ling Yue, Wulang, and a few children of about the same age to dig wild vegetables and herbs when they heard a whistle and looked startled.
Ling Yue often eats food from space, and her five senses are also very sensitive. She also heard the whistle, stood up straight, and listened carefully: "It's broken, something happened in the village!"
Shangguan Ruoli quickly put his hand to his mouth and whistled the agreed code.
Now that she has internal strength, the sound of gunfire spreads farther.
Dongming Ziyu was aiming his bow and arrow at a hare when he suddenly listened carefully and let the hare run away in front of his eyes.
Dalang asked strangely: "Fourth uncle, what's wrong?"
Dongming Ziyu put away his bow and arrows and said: "Something happened in the village!"
As he said that, he whistled and ran down the mountain.
Those who were cutting down trees, cutting stones, transporting trees, and transporting stones all dropped what they were doing and ran down the mountain when they heard the whistle.
Jiang Haoguang and the others saw people running down the mountain one after another, especially Dongming Ziyu who was running in front. His movements were agile, murderous, and as fast as the wind. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of them.
Dongming Ziyu stood in front of Mr. Dong and Mrs. Qian, blocking them behind their tall figures. He glanced at Jiang Haoguang and the others with his cold, knife-like eyes, and the invisible pressure overwhelmed them like an overwhelming force.
Jiang Haoguang and others were so frightened by this sight that they took a few steps back, showing fear in their eyes.
Dongming Ziyu asked coldly: "Village chief, what do you want to do?"
Mrs. Qian grabbed her son's arm and quickly read the story of the incident. It was as if the child was fighting outside and finally a parent came to support him.
Jiang Haoguang said with a serious expression: "Your mountains have lost their appearance and destroyed the feng shui of our place!"
Dongming Ziyu said coldly: "First of all, we avoided your graveyard. Secondly, we felled the trees carefully and did not cut down a whole mountain. The same goes for stones. We only picked the places that were easy to hit.
.
It didn't destroy the mountain or change the water system, so how could it affect Feng Shui? Feng Shui, Feng Shui, will change Feng Shui only if it affects wind and water."
Dong Youyin said: "That's right, we are paying attention! This will also be our home from now on, how can we not care for the mountains and forests?"
Zhuan Zhu held a hatchet and said angrily: "Look at it from a distance, are the mountains bald? We are stupid, can we chop down trees and cut rocks in one place?"
Others also said: "I think they are bullying us outsiders!"
"Leave us no way to survive!"
"Whoever doesn't let us pass, we won't let them pass! Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes!"
"I can't survive anyway! I'll fight them like hell!"
Amidst roars filled with indignation, Dongming Ziyu took a step forward. Without saying a word, Jiang Haoguang and the others were so frightened that they took two steps back.
Jiang Haoguang's voice trembled, and he said loudly: "This is the order of the village chief, you must obey it! From now on, you are not allowed to go up the mountain! You can buy green bricks or red bricks to build a house. If you don't have money, you can work to make money, but you can't work hard."
Our mountain!”
Dongming Ziyu said coldly: "Why? This mountain belongs to your family? Is there a land deed?"
Jiang Haoguang: "..."
Only the ancestral tombs and cemeteries have title deeds; the rest of the hills belong to the imperial court and the common people.
Dongming Ziyu and others found out clearly when they measured the land. They knew that the mountain had no owner, and they did not touch the mountain that had an owner.
"Anyway, you are not allowed to go up the mountain! We will send people to guard the mountain. If you dare to take action, we will see you at the Yamen!" After Jiang Haoguang finished speaking, he walked away!
The common people are afraid of officials, not to mention that the Jiang family is a big family rooted here. There are still people in the family who are high officials in the court, and it is not uncommon for families to promote talents.
These newly arrived victims still live in shacks, so they can fight against others.
Many women cried, feeling that there was no way they could live anymore and wondering why it was so difficult to live!
Dongming Ziyu waved his hand and said: "While they haven't arranged for anyone to watch the mountain, hurry up and drag back the wood we cut and the stone we cut!"
Shuan Zhu raised his arms and waved: "For the first team, follow me!"
Dong Youliang raised his hand and said, "Team 2, follow me!"
Dalang also said to the young men: "Brothers, let's go and help too!"
Zhou Laicai led three teams of men up the mountain to dig the foundation and put aside the work of building the house.
In an instant, only the old, weak, women and children and Dongming Ziyu were left.
They all looked at Dongming Ziyu eagerly, hoping that he would come up with a good idea.
Dongming Ziyu said: "Jiang Haoguang said it was the chief, so I will go to the chief and ask."
When Dong Chunlei heard that he was going to find the chief, he remembered the last time he brought a gift and was kicked away by the servant at the door. His shoulders drooped and he said, "I'll go, don't be angry with me."
Dongming Ziyu said indifferently: "It doesn't matter."
Dong Chunlei would not let him hit the wall by himself, so he went along with it.
This time, they went empty-handed, not wanting to be in love with someone else. This time, they still didn't go in. The servant at the door said that Jiang Hexuan had gone to the capital, and it would take more than two months to go back and forth.
Dongming Ziyu was suspicious and asked Shuan Zhu to pay attention to the movements of Jiang Hexuan's house. As a result, he was indeed going to the capital, but he would set off two days later.
Jiang Haoguang also sent people to watch the road up the mountain, preventing people from the East Village from going up the mountain, but letting people from the Nanbeixi Village go up the mountain to chop wood and dig wild vegetables. This was obviously bullying.
Dongming Ziyu didn't go to Jiang Hongda either. The other party didn't want to stand out. This conflict was not small. He would not interfere in the matter and offend the director and Jiang Haoguang.
On this day, Jiang Hongda brought a middle-aged man who was better dressed than him to the east of the village. The man looked like a servant.
Now they were bullied by the locals, and they were not as enthusiastic towards Jiang Hongda as before, but they still had the due courtesy and allowed the two of them to sit under the shed where they had a big pot of rice.
Dongming Ziyu was helping to add beams to the newly built large stone house. Hearing Jiang Hongda's arrival, he jumped off the roof and walked over.
When Jiang Hongda and the man saw Dongming Ziyu jumping off the high roof lightly and approaching with dignity, their eyes flashed with shock, and the man even put away his contempt.
Dongming Ziyu walked closer, cupped his fists and said, "Village Chief."
Jiang Hongda introduced: "This is the servant of my classmate. My classmate is a member of the Juren family. He works under King Chen and wants to buy your tiger skin."
