After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Chapter 376: Conflict between Two Villages

Ye Qing didn't have to wait long before Ye Dalang came over pulling a ox cart, helped load the books, and went home together.

There are many ships docked at the dock these two days, so Ye Qing comes to help early every morning.

She paid less attention to the affairs of the village, and when she finished her work at the dock, she realized that the atmosphere in the village was not right.

"Dad, what's wrong with the villagers? They look like they are about to quarrel with someone." Ye Qing was a little confused.

Boss Ye did not hide the truth from her. "There was a dispute between our village and Feng Village. Both villages were asked to repair the road. However, the boundary was not clearly demarcated. Feng Village asked our village to repair the disputed section of the road."

"Go to the government office to confirm. What's there to argue about?" Ye Qing didn't understand.

"The government office doesn't have an accurate explanation. They've helped to divide the territory, but the two sides are already arguing really hard and it's hard to control the situation." Boss Ye knew a little more.

Ye Qing understood that the two sides were arguing so fiercely that they no longer cared about the road construction.

"Don't the people in the government care?"

"We can take care of it, but the two sides will secretly trip each other up at night." Boss Ye said worriedly.

Ye Qing was shocked. "They dared to attack the repaired road."

"I don't dare to do that. Last night, the people in Feng Village secretly threw a few firecrackers over. Those who went to perform corvée labor didn't sleep well. They were discussing how to cause trouble for them."

"When will the cycle of revenge end?" Ye Qing had not experienced this, so he couldn't empathize.

Boss Ye didn't talk about this topic. The village has its own conclusion on this matter.

Ye Qing didn’t think about it. This matter was not a big deal, nor a small one. The two villages could just talk it out.

Ye Qing's attention shifted to her home. She had not been home for several days, and Erbao held her tightly and refused to let go.

Ye Qing agreed to tell Erbao a story, and was forgiven by Erbao.

"Is Qingya Dalang at home?" Ye Zhen rushed over.

"My brother went to the dock. You have something to talk to him about." Ye Qing put down the broom in his hand.

"The people in our village who are doing corvée labor are about to fight with Feng Village." After saying this, Ye Zhen ran away in a hurry.

Ye Qing ran towards the village entrance holding a wooden stick from behind the door. On the way, he met many villagers, all holding sticks in their hands.

Ye Qing didn't even bother to say hello, as he was worried that the villagers would suffer.

Feng Village is a famous big village far and wide, and its population is much larger than that of the village itself.

The people who were doing corvée labor in the village were a little far away from the village, so the headman led several ox carts over.

Liu Jing also came with the village guard team and was helping to organize people to provide assistance.

"Qingya, you don't need to go. Come down quickly. You'll get bumped into things there." The head of the village saw Ye Qing climb into the car.

The others then saw Ye Qing and said, "Qingya, the brothers are here, you don't have to go."

Ye Qing didn't agree. One more person means more strength. Besides, they might not be able to fight because there are still yamen runners there.

When the villagers arrived, the people from Feng Village had already arrived and were confronting the people from Kaoshan Village.

Several yamen runners stood in the middle and scolded the people on both sides, fearing that a fight would break out under their noses.

However, both sides were so engrossed in the argument that they could not hear the roars of the bailiffs at all.

The people on Ye Qing's side saw this scene as soon as they got off the car and rushed over with sticks in hand.

The people of Feng Village saw that they were here with ill intentions and started pushing them.

The people in Kaoshan Village also became confident and were not afraid of them at all.

Although they were outnumbered, the villagers all knew a little Kung Fu, and when they started fighting, one person could fight two or three people.

Ye Qing was pulled out. With so many men fighting, a girl would easily suffer a loss.

Several yamen runners were pushed out. They beat gongs and drums loudly, but they did not separate the people on both sides.

Zhang the yamen runner sent someone to ask for help. Someone was killed here today, and he will be in big trouble.

A thin yamen runner rode his horse towards the dock, which was closer.

Zhang tried several times but failed to separate the people on both sides.

Seeing that this group of people still had some sense and did not use weapons, Zhang, the yamen runner, stood outside and watched. If anyone tried to kill someone, he would drag them out.

Ye Qing stood outside and watched the battle, holding a stick in his hand, protected behind the villagers.

Ye Qing saw the villagers suffering losses and quietly helped them.

The two sides fought fiercely and neither side was willing to admit defeat.

Ye Lizheng was being supported by someone and came over from behind. He squinted his eyes and looked around, and the villagers did not suffer any loss.

Especially Liu Jing, who is so skilled in martial arts that he can fight ten people alone.

When Zhang, the yamen runner, saw the head of the village coming, he strode over to him.

"Yelizheng, ask the villagers to stop first."

"Master Zhang, if you tell the people in Feng Village to stop first, we will definitely stop." Ye Lizheng knew that he would suffer if he stopped first.

Zhang Yayi was at a loss. If he could separate the two sides, he wouldn't be so anxious.

At this time, the head of Feng Village also came over. Zhang the yamen runner was angry, but he didn't know what to say, so he asked the people on both sides to stop first.

The head of Feng Village is named Xie. He has been the head of Feng Village for his entire life and is very famous in the village.

The runner Zhang brought the head of the village Xie over and persuaded the two headmen together.

Xie Lizheng's face was not very good. "Master Zhang, this is not our village's fault. It should have been the job of Kaoshan Village. Why did you push it to our village?"

Ye Lizheng certainly disagreed, "Nonsense, that's obviously your job. If you talk nicely, we can help you share some of the burden. Your tone is so bad. Our village is not your ancestor, so we don't have to spoil you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang the bailiff began to hold his forehead with his hand. Wouldn't this only intensify the conflict?

Xie Lizheng's eyes were wide open with anger, and he stretched out his hands to fight with Ye Lizheng.

Zhang the yamen runner quickly asked someone to stop the two men, saying that they were already old, but still so unstable.

Two yamen runners each held a village head, for fear that the two might get into trouble by accident.

Zhang the yamen runner's face turned black. They could even fight in front of him. This was just trampling on his face.

Seeing that Zhang the bailiff was really angry, the two village heads did not dare to attack each other. They just stood there and listened to what Zhang the bailiff said.

"Hurry up and tell them to stop. If they don't, your labor service will be extended by another month." Zhang, the yamen runner, was really angry.

Xie Lizheng was not convinced, "Sir, if you ask Kaoshan Village to stop first, our village will stop too."

Ye Lizheng glanced at Zhang the yamen runner's face and didn't dare to open his mouth.

Yayi Zhang rushed to Xie Lizheng with all his anger, "You dared to take action while serving corvée labor? It's not too much to arrest all of you and bring you to the yamen. If it gets more serious, are you going to rebel?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two village heads who had just accused each other turned pale. They could not afford to bear this crime.

This time, Zhang the bailiff didn't need to speak, and the two of them walked towards the crowd at the same time.

The fight was already going on over there, and some people started squatting down to pick up stones.

"Stop it, stop it now." The two village heads shouted at the same time.

Ye Qing's attention was focused on the crowd, and he didn't pay attention to what Zhang the yamen runner and the two village heads were saying.

I was startled when I heard the roar suddenly.
