It rained heavily for five days and five nights, and immediately after a locust plague came another flood.
This heavy rain has become blurry in Yang Junshan's memory in his previous life. It seems that such a thing happened, but there should be no other unexpected accidents, otherwise the memory would not be so blurry.
Although Yang Tiangang was not in the village at this time, reports of what happened in the village would still come to his home continuously every day. If it was an ordinary matter, Han Xiumei, a martial arts monk, could do it for him.
The mountain torrents pouring down from the Western Mountains have become bigger and bigger, and several streams have completely turned into flood discharge channels. After rushing out of the mountains with countless silt and rocks, they immediately overflowed from both sides of the river and brought the Qinshui River upstream. A large number of fields developed by Tushi and Tuqiu villages were flooded, including several acres of spiritual fields.
On this day, just when Yang Junshan was thinking about when the rain would stop, he saw Yang Tieniu running in despite the heavy rain. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Sister-in-law, has Brother Gang come back?"
Han Xiumei knew that something was probably going on, so she hurriedly walked out and said, "Your brother hasn't come back yet. Brother Tieniu, what happened? Please tell me slowly!"
Yang Tieniu said anxiously: "It's Tushi Village. They are draining water from the flooded fields. Although the mountain floods have submerged the field boundaries, the people in Tushi Village have obviously crossed the boundary. They have also occupied several acres of spiritual land that originally belonged to our village. , there is also a bit of our Yang family’s spiritual field in it!”
Han Xiumei said angrily: "It's raining so heavily and the fields are being drained. Fatty Shi is getting more and more successful. Brother Tieniu, have you seen how many of them there are?"
Yang Tieniu said: "The three martial arts monks from Tushi Village are here, and by the way, there is also Qian Chunlai. I think it was this guy who started this matter!"
Han Xiumei said decisively: "Brother Tieniu, go and notify Xu Sanniang and Zhang Tiejiang and call the best spiritual farmers in the village. Let's go and have a look!"
Han Xiumei left with her front legs, and Yang Junshan followed with her rear legs. Huniu, who was originally like Yang Junshan's tail, did not follow because of the pouring rain outside.
The news spread quickly in Tuqiu Village. By the time Yang Junshan walked to the village, at least hundreds of spiritual farmers had already left their homes, carrying hatchets and iron rods in their hands, and some on their waists. There are also talisman swords and the like, which is obviously a scene of preparation for a fight.
Naturally, Yang Junshan would not participate in a group fight. With his current level of cultivation, if he were to fight in a group fight, he would not know who he would be beaten by.
Yang Junshan rolled his eyes, but he put on a raincoat from home and plunged into the rain. However, he did not go to the fields upstream of Qinshui River, but turned around and headed towards Tushi Village.
The vast curtain of rain obscured people's sight, and they were dressed in raincoats, making it even harder to identify their identities up close. At this time, most of the spiritual cultivators in Tushi Village followed the three warrior-level monks in the village to Qinshui. Going upstream, Yang Junshan hurried all the way to Tushi Village without anyone noticing his identity.
"All the spiritual farmers in the village followed Cun Zheng to the upper reaches of the Qin River. It was hard to have a leisurely two days on this rainy day!"
Under the eaves of one roof, several idle men from the earth and stone villages were gathering there to chat on a rainy day. When Yang Junshan came to the side and listened to their nonsense, he didn't pay attention and continued to talk and laugh loudly.
"What do you know? The upper reaches of the Qinshui River are now washed away by flash floods. Muramasa and the others are taking the spiritual farmers to clear the fields.
Border, save the time when people from Tuqiu Village occupied the land of our village! "
"Come on, we have also clarified the boundaries of the fields. Who doesn't know that they are taking advantage of the waterlogging in Tuqiu Village? I heard that there are several acres of spiritual fields in Tuqiu Village in the upper reaches of Qinshui River. I guess it is ** It’s for those acres of spiritual land.”
"You are telling me what you are saying. Didn't Tuqiu Village occupy the land of our Tushi Village? The two villages have had many fights over water and farmland. What's the difference?"
"To be honest, since Tuqiu Village was replaced by Cunzheng, the new Yang Cunzheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Our village has not taken advantage of Tuqiu Village in the past two years. This time Shi Cunzheng led Can we get some benefits by leading everyone to occupy the land?"
"Are you sure Shi Cunzheng dares to take this risk? I have heard that Yang Cunzheng has been absent from the village for more than half a month. Now Tuqiu Village is leaderless, but this time our village has people from the town. Qian Chunlai, deputy governor Qian, came forward to support him. As long as he occupied those few acres of spiritual land, and then forcibly modified the land deed and sent it to the town for registration, then these few acres of spiritual land would not be ours and would become ours. Qian Chunlai will be more confident if he comes to support us!"
"Deputy Guard Qian? When did Qian Chunlai become Deputy Guard?"
"You don't know this yet? Originally, in our town, Yang Cunzheng had the greatest merit and was most likely to become an outer disciple of the Shaking Sky Sect. But then the rules suddenly changed. Yang Cunzheng did not meet the conditions of the Shaking Sky Sect, but Qian Chunlai did. He went up all at once, and I heard that he also got the support of the Xiong family, the top three powerful people in our county. It was a certainty that he would become an outer disciple of the Shaking Sky Sect. Now everyone in the town calls him "him" when they see him. For 'Deputy Qian'!"
"Damn, this guy is just a villain. He caused a lot of trouble in Tuyuan Village for his own future. I heard that this guy suffered a lot at the hands of Boss Yang Cunzheng in Tuqiu Village, and his butt was fucked by Yang Cunzheng's son. After shooting an arrow, do you think it will be deflated again this time?”
At this point, several idle men laughed muffledly, and then one person said: "It doesn't matter whether the man named Qian is successful or not, as long as our village doesn't suffer a loss this time!"
"Actually, this is all caused by the locust plague. Although our village has saved 40% of the harvest this time, there will be very little left after the grain tax collection is completed. However, I heard that Tuqiu Village has saved 60-70% of the harvest. , after paying the grain tax, the remaining spiritual grains of every family will be almost the same as in previous years! If we don’t seize the opportunity now, if this continues, next year the spiritual farmers in our village will definitely be the same as before because of the lack of spiritual grains to maintain their cultivation. If the spiritual farmers of Tuqiu Village widen the gap, they will no longer be able to compete with them!"
"It's all because of jealousy!"
