Compared with those vulgar curses, the four people on the shore were so quiet that they seemed to be isolated from the painting, including Lin Shuanglan.
Xia Zhaoyi became calm when he went too far, which made Lin Shuanglan inexplicably comforted.
Zhan Jiuye frowned, the difference between people is really huge.
The increasingly agitated woman and her family began to take action, pushing away those who were blocking them and rushing towards Xia Zhaoyi.
Mo Wuye, who was skinny and boneless, was pushed aside.
The militiamen stabilized him, but Mo Wuye was angry and wanted to rush back to argue.
The scene was very chaotic, with people swearing, people pushing and shoving, people watching the excitement gesticulating from a distance, and some people shouting and making noises.
The more Master Zhan Jiu watched, the angrier he became. Seeing that Master Mo was about to push those people back, he suddenly rushed over and grabbed Master Mo: "I'll do it!"
The skinny Mo Wuye was pushed aside again. Looking back, he saw that Zhan Jiuye directly ordered two militiamen to throw the man who had just been pushed into the river.
"Throw these people in!" Zhan Jiuye pointed to the other three people.
The child's mother screamed and tried to stop her, and rushed towards her to beat her. Master Zhan Jiu called two militiamen, took her aside and tied her up with a rope.
"And you!" Mr. Zhan Jiuye raised his head and looked at those who were watching and making noises. "Whoever stays here to watch the show will drag their families and get out of Qingxiang Village for me tomorrow!"
Among the three men of the Zhan family, Master Zhan Jiu is the one who rarely shows his face. This is the first time that he has become so angry in front of the villagers.
Several people in the river struggled to catch it, but no one tried to fish it out.
The scolding child's mother was not only tied up but also gagged.
Those who were watching fell silent.
"Catch them!" Zhan Jiuye pointed at them, "Catch those who won't leave, as many as you can!"
The militiamen immediately gave chase.
Only then did everyone realize they were scared and immediately ran towards their homes.
"It's so chaotic..." Zhi Changle said.
"Otherwise it would be called troubled times?" Lao Tong said.
Xia Zhaoyi stood in formation, turned around and left.
The residence that Mo Wuye arranged for Xia Zhaoyi was a small courtyard with a single family.
The owners of the courtyard are an elderly couple who have lost their child. They do not live in this courtyard, but they are not far away.
After Master Zhan Jiu took care of the matter at hand, he brought Master Mo Wu and several militiamen to find him. On the way, he met Master Zhan Qi and Master Zhan Ba who were hanging by their arms.
"Are you coming too?" Master Zhan Jiu pointed at Master Zhan Ba.
"Miss Ah Li really kicked someone into the water?" Zhan Baye asked hurriedly.
"She kicked the big one and the small one!" Mo Wuye shouted.
"You can't tell, this little lady is quite fierce!" Master Zhan said with a smile.
"You are obsessed with lust!" Zhan Jiuye said angrily, "She has caused a lot of trouble for me!"
"Then you want to find someone to settle the score now?"
"Ah, what else?"
"Let's go," Master Zhan Qi said in a deep voice, "go find her."
"Let's go, let's go!" Zhan Baye said.
The courtyard is also by the river, shaded by tall trees. The lamps hanging under the trees add a sense of elegance and tranquility to the courtyard building.
The lights in the courtyard were deserted, with only two lights in the hall. The dim green lights fell on the steps in front of the door, illuminating a big man standing with his arms crossed.
Seeing Lao Tong, the Zhan family men stopped in their tracks.
Master Zhan Qi looked back at the people who came with them, wondering if he should go back and call for more.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Lao Tong said aloud.
Zhan Jiuye took a deep breath and walked forward: "Let's go!"
The main hall is even quieter than outside the courtyard.
There were still insects and birds chirping outside the courtyard, but there was no sound in the hall.
Xia Zhaoyi is reading, and so is Lin Shuanglan.
Lin Shuanglan almost forgot why she appeared here. Her original intention seemed to be to comfort or appease the girl, or to stop her in case she really left.
As soon as she entered the room, the girl asked her if she wanted to read a book. She saw him sitting down with a book in his hands, and she almost said yes.
However, she didn't know much about reading, so it took her a long time to open a page.
Lao Tong's voice sounded, and Lin Shuanglan raised her head and looked towards the door.
Several masters of the Zhan family and Master Mo came in to see her. Master Zhan Qi frowned: "Girl Lin, why are you here?"
Zhan Baye's unfaithful eyes immediately turned to the girl opposite Lin Shuanglan.
Xia Zhaoyi also turned his head and looked towards them.
With these eyes, Mr. Zhan Ba was really moved.
It is as clear as snow, as bright as the moon, and the eyes are clear and peaceful, as if the moonlight has fallen into it.
"Miss Ah Li," Mr. Zhan Ba said aloud, "are you still used to living here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard by Zhan Jiuye's elbow.
He hit Mr. Zhan Ba's injured arm and was so painful that he wanted to cry, but the girl's eyes were looking at him and he tried his best to keep smiling.
Before, I thought it didn't matter whether the girl stayed or left, but now I feel like it's such a pity to leave.
"If Miss Ali wanted to rent land in my village, why did she attack the people in our village?" Zhan Jiuye spoke first.
"That kid offended me first," Xia Zhaoyi said. "When he rushed down, he grabbed me and tried to push me behind me."
Zhan Jiuye paused slightly, and it seemed that the draft he had prepared in advance was no longer needed.
"Did he do it?" Zhan Jiuye said, "I heard that you used a bamboo pole to stop him."
"He struck first. Even though he didn't win, he is no longer a villain?"
"Evil person?" Mo Wuye frowned, "He is still a child!"
"Whether or not the child is a child has nothing to do with me. It is his parents' business to discipline him. Since he attacks and offends me, I will not be polite."
Lin Shuanglan weakly raised her hands: "There is also me. He rushed up and pushed me down. If the eldest brother of the Liu family hadn't supported me, I would have fallen."
"Then, where is his mother?" Mo Wuye said in a bad tone, "Why did you throw the adults in?"
"What do you think?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
Zhan Jiuye stretched out his hand and stopped Mo Wuye.
"The big ones should be thrown away." Zhan Jiuye said coldly.
"That scolding was so unpleasant that it should be torn off!" Lin Shuanglan said.
"Miss Ah Li," Master Zhan Jiu looked at Xia Zhaoyi and said in a deep voice, "You caused these things on the first day you came here. Our mountain fields in Qingxiang Village will not be rented to you. We will wait until early tomorrow morning.
Then I packed up my things and left."
"Isn't this still undecided?" Zhan Baye said unhappily.
"Okay," Xia Zhaoyi nodded, "I really don't want to stay either."
"Oh?" Mr. Mo Wu raised his eyebrows, "How can Miss Ah Li be so stubborn?"
"Qingxiang Village is very different from what I thought," Xia Zhaoyi said lightly, "When I came here, I looked at the terrain. Qingxiang Village was not a closed place, but the troubled times were right in front of me. A few miles away, there were corpses everywhere.
The villagers still have no awareness of danger. The whole village has a population of thousands and relies on the militia for protection. However, even if it is organized, from the militia to the villagers, discipline is still completely chaotic. Therefore, there is nothing worth mentioning.
.”
Mo Wuye sneered: "What do women know?"
"Shut up." Master Zhan Qi said, frowning, feeling like he was slapped in the face.
Master Zhan Jiu looked even more ugly next to him.
