"As you said, it's better not to expect too much..."
After getting off the carriage, Wei Junzi stood beside Ye Qian, staring blankly at the so-called "Panyun Valley" in front of him, and murmured.
Wei Junzi's eyebrows were tangled together, and his eyelids were drooped. He was not speechless.
Panyun Valley? This one in front of me looks like a broken bowl that is upside down and has no bottom.
It is full of cracks and will collapse at some point. It is a body of soil about a little over ten feet tall.
Can it really be called a "valley"?
"Ahem..." Wei Junzi coughed and asked Ye Qian, who was unloading the big wooden box: "Ye Qian, are you sure that after we enter, Panyun Valley will not collapse and bury us alive?"
After the wooden box was unloaded, Ye Qian said with a smile: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. Panyun Valley has always been like this, and I haven't seen any earth or rocks falling suddenly. It just looks scary..."
After handing the carriage to the fourth son of the third branch of the Li family in Donghe Village outside Panyun Valley, Ye Qian and Zhao Gao worked together to carry the box and brought Wei Junzi and Wang Chengcai to the valley.
It was already afternoon, and when the sun was still really hot, thin clouds and mist were still floating in Panyun Valley. What was even more strange was that there was not a single plant in the entire valley, not even an insect could be seen.
The valley is not big. After a few steps, I saw some wooden piles erected in front of me. A circle of pits was dug around the wooden piles. Beside these pits, there were several tools such as hoes scattered around. Four children gathered together.
In a patch of shade, when they saw Ye Qian and the other four people appearing, they made no move and just watched quietly.
If it was Liu Mingshan who came over, he would probably come over right now. Although he is nominally the leader of this fruit-stealing battle, given his age, even if there are no children who openly object, secret scorn is inevitable.
Slowing down, Ye Qian carried the other end of the wooden box, with a cold look in his eyes, and slowly walked towards the four people in the shade.
As the distance got closer, Ye Qian clearly saw that the four people in the shade were panicking. When the distance was still three feet away, the four people finally couldn't stand it any longer and hurriedly stood up and came out, uneven and reluctant.
He shouted: "Chief."
Even if it's just temporary, with Liu Mingshan's recognition as the real chief, they have no choice but to call him chief.
Ye Qian hummed, indicating that he heard it. As long as they didn't go too far to the point where he was already in front of them and sitting in the shade enjoying the blessing, Ye Qian would not argue with them.
It's not because Ye Qian is generous, but because the current chief's status is only temporary and will be returned to Liu Mingshan after tomorrow. And they are still Liu Mingshan's people and are just temporarily lent to Ye Qian.
And Ye Qian doesn't need any respect from the bottom of his heart, just help him win this fruit battle.
Putting down the box, Ye Qianping asked calmly: "Is everything done?"
The child closest to Ye Qian said: "Yes, according to what the chief said, everything is done."
"Very good..." He nodded and opened the box, revealing three layers of wine jars, ropes for eating and other sundries inside. Ye Qian picked up the package of ointment from the car and ordered, "One person holds two jars of wine and the other.
I'll come."
The four people's eyes lit up when they looked at the wine jar. They looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes, chief."
Arriving in front of the pit, Ye Qian squatted down and said to the nearest child: "Put the wine jar in the pit, and then pat off the mud seal."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the child immediately put a wine jar in his arms into the pit and patted off the mud seal. Ye Qian then put some ointment in it. After repeating this in each pit, Ye Qian smiled slightly and said to
The four of them said: "I know you all drink alcohol, but you'd better not touch this wine. I don't feel sorry for the wine. You have also seen that there is some ointment in the wine. With the amount I put, it only takes a small sip. Those who drink it
will die."
What? The expressions of the four children all changed, and they all swallowed their mouths. One of them said: "Chief, is this thing used against the people of Nanhe Village?"
"Well..." Ye Qian nodded, stretched and said, "You still have a few hours of rest. In the middle of the night, someone will send a batch of people from Nanhe Village over, and the carriage will be left for you.
When the time comes, you tie those people to the stakes and guard them on the way to the valley. When you see people from Nanhe Village coming, light the wine jars. When all the people who come are unconscious, send the first ones to the valley.
For those who want it, return one or two to Nanhe Village, and keep the others.
Well, another thing is, before lighting it, you must soak your clothes with the jar of water in the box and cover your nose, otherwise you will be one step ahead of the group of people in Nanhe Village."
"Understood, Chief." The four children did not ask any more questions, and looked at Ye Qian with a different kind of brilliance.
After returning to the carriage and leaving Panyun Valley, Ye Qian smiled at the five of them and said, "When you return to the village, there will be a lot of wine - celebration wine..."
"Yes, chief." The five children's expressions of suspicion and expectation were intertwined, making their eyes looking at Ye Qian become quite strange and complicated...
…
The carriage arrived at the meeting point not far from Nanhe Village after dark. Except for a few people who were on guard outside, most people closed their eyes and rested. Liu Mingshan was easy to find. He was on the only leather blanket brought out.
Rest in the small tent set up.
After waking up Liu Mingshan, Ye Qian joked: "Brother Liu, everyone else is outside, but you are the only one with a tent. Aren't you afraid they have other ideas?"
Liu Mingshan rubbed his sleepy eyes, covered the leather tent tightly, lit the candle, and said casually: "No matter what thoughts you have, there are only two in the end, one is meaningless resentment, and the other is turned into climbing up.
desire.
What achievements can the former kind of person achieve? As for the latter kind, I like it very much, and I hope someone can surpass me. After all, he came out from under my hand, so he can't be justified if he doesn't take care of me."
"Uh..." Ye Qian looked at Liu Mingshan in surprise and asked, "Did you think of it, or did Master say it?"
Liu Mingshan said matter-of-factly: "Of course my father told me. I thought it made sense, so I did it."
Waving his hand, Liu Mingshan added: "Don't talk about this, when are you going to tell me all the plans? Every time, you just ask me to do things. Although I can guess a little, I feel that the effect of what you do will not be very great.
"
"Well..." Ye Qian thought for a while, got up and went out of the tent to call Wei Junzi Zhao Gao and Wang Chengcai into the tent, and said, "I have plans for this fruit-grabbing battle later. Do you have any questions before this?"
Say hello directly, instead of explaining one by one, why not explain everything clearly, Brother Liu, please say hello first."
Liu Mingshan nodded and said: "What do you think about the traps in the village and the ambush set up in Panyun Valley? The traps in the village are too much, and the ambush in Panyun Valley is a bit interesting, but I want to go smoothly.
It's impossible to lure all Wang Chengcai's people into Panyun Valley - with a terrain like Panyun Valley, even I won't be able to bring everyone in, let alone the people from Nanhe Village. It is said that they are new.
That chief is Wang Chengcai's cousin Bao Buping."
Ye Qian shrugged his shoulders, glanced at Wang Chengcai, who was still sullen and silent, and said: "Actually, the trap at the entrance of the village has little to do with the battle to win the fruit. The only role it can play is probably to confuse Nanhe Village. As for Pan.
Nanhe Village will come to Yungu's ambush, and it must come."
"Must come?" Liu Mingshan's eyelids twitched, "Two days ago, Nanhe Village sent people to find out our truth. Although I have followed your instructions and driven away all outsiders two miles outside the village, do you think they are really
Don’t know what we are doing now?”
Ye Qian shook his head and said: "I don't know whether Nanhe Village knows about it. However, although Donghe Village is remote and poor, there are still beggars who come to beg for food every day. Since Nanhe Village can bribe one sent here, how many more can be bribed?
It’s no big deal…”
"In other words, do you have other means?" Liu Mingshan said conclusively.
Ye Qian nodded, "Yes, the key lies in tonight, or in other words, the key lies in one person..."
Liu Mingshan asked: "Who?"
"You've seen it before. You'll know when someone comes..." Shaking his head, Ye Qian smiled and said to Wang Chengcai next to him, "Are you ready? I believe you have already arranged for Nanhe Village, but that may not be the case.
It can be used."
Wang Chengcai rolled his eyes and said lazily: "Let's each do our own thing. If you really have the ability to go to the state school, what grudges do we have will be settled in the state school."
Wang Chengcai had already recovered by this time and knew that there was no need to be stingy. He really didn't have much rights.
If this guy really can't go to the state school, he really has nothing to do, but if this guy gets into the state school, he will have more methods at his disposal.
The smile on Ye Qian's face became even brighter and he said: "Who knows, let's see if your cousin can help him up the wall..."
"Haha, don't be too happy too early. Even if you know the assessment standards for the second state exam, it's another thing to actually meet them!" Wang Chengcai couldn't see the pride on Ye Qian's face, even though he repeatedly told himself that he would
I couldn't hold it back, but when I saw Ye Qian, I couldn't help but stab him.
Wang Chengcai himself felt that he was not strong enough, and he began to wonder if the guy in front of him was not compatible with him. Sometimes there was no specific provocation, but Wang Chengcai couldn't help but feel angry.
Some people are truly disgusted just by looking at them. Wang Chengcai thinks it's not his fault, but that this guy is so abominable.
"If you know the assessment standards and still can't pass, that's really bad. I think there is really no need for such people to go to the state to study. It is a waste of time. It is better to join the army directly. If you are reckless, maybe you can get out.
A piece of sky!"
Ye Qian said enthusiastically, with a look of approval and a bigger smile on his face.
He has been waiting for these years, and after this battle to win the fruit, he will be able to go to the state to learn the laws and regulations, and return to the Lihuo Realm is just around the corner. Naturally, he is in a surprisingly good mood. Looking at this Wang Chengcai, he also feels that he is handsome and not so hateful.
stand up.
"You have a good tongue!" Wang Chengcai twitched the corner of his mouth, quite speechless...
