The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

133 Find a Good Place

Li Qing ran over and pulled Li Yu back. He looked at Li Yu with a bitter expression. “Sister, look, Brother-in-law abused me again. He’s a different person in front of you and me.”

“I won’t say much about the two of you. The two of you can settle it yourselves.” Li Yu continued to walk into the house. “It’s too cold, so I won’t accompany you outside. You have to show me the fist technique I taught you later.”

The two of them could only resign themselves to fate and practice in the courtyard.

Chen Yaohui brought Butcher He and more than ten villagers to the farm. When they saw that Ruyi, Ji Xiang, and Zhao Cai were already waiting there, everyone took their weapons and practiced with the three of them.

Ruyi looked at Butcher He and thought to himself, Should I take this opportunity to mention my matter with Xiaoyu to him? Ruyi kept struggling in his heart to find a way to speak. He corrected Butcher He’s movements and said carefully, “Uncle He, you should stab upwards. That way, the power will be greater.”

Butcher He looked at Ruyi and thought to himself, Brat, why aren’t you finding someone to propose marriage? Do you still want my daughter to beg you?

Seeing how careful Ruyi was, Zhao Cai nudged Ji Xiang. “Look, Ruyi, don’t you think you’re a little different with Uncle He?”

Ji Xiang stroked his chin and narrowed his eyes. He whispered into Zhao Cai’s ear, “His behavior is like the way Young Master used to treat Miss’ aunt. That little thought is obvious at a glance. Sigh! This piece of wood is also in love?”

Zhao Cai rolled its eyes at Ji Xiang. “If Young Master finds out, he’ll definitely sew up your narrow eyes.” Ji Xiang kicked Zhao Cai’s butt.

The villagers of Phoenix Village were making preparations. After those refugees snatched Zhu Zhencheng’s house, they began to prepare to snatch Ye Ju’s house the next night.

It had started to snow at night. The town was so cold that there was no one to be seen.

Brother Yang led forty to fifty people out of the forest outside the town and walked towards Ye Ju’s house with a machete.

Ever since High Scholar Ye was shaved by Li Yu last time, he had been hiding at home and did not go out. At this moment, his family had also gone to Tongzhou City to seek refuge. Only the old man and the old woman were left at home.

Ever since they were frightened last time, they didn’t even go out to check when they heard the sound. Instead, they hid.

The refugee pried open the door and sneaked into the courtyard. He saw that it was dark and quiet inside.

Yang Chun spat and said in a low voice with a face full of hatred, “These old men are usually arrogant and domineering. Now, they’re all like cowards. Let’s see how I deal with them if I catch them.”

The group entered the inner courtyard and began to search the house. They hugged the valuables they had found into their bags and walked toward the other houses.

The refugees were so excited that they took a silver candlestick and bit it. They smiled excitedly and said, “These dogs are really rich. They even used silver to light the lamps.”

“Brother Kang, these are all ours. We’ll be rich in the future.”

The group searched Ye Ju’s house for more than two hours before each of them carried a bag out of the door and left the town into the forest.

Brother Yang looked at the food and treasures piled up in the cave and smiled at them. “Now that we have food, we have to find a mountain to hide. Otherwise, we will be captured and surrounded by the officials.”

A man shrank his neck and looked at Brother Yang viciously. “The mountains are filled with snow and it’s freezing. In my opinion, we should find a village in the mountains and kill those people. We’ll live there.”

When Brother Yang heard this, he laughed out loud. “I didn’t expect you, Old Turtle Yang, to be so ruthless!”

Old Turtle Yang flattered Brother Yang, “Brother Yang, you’re the most knowledgeable person in our Yang Family Village. It’s all thanks to your help that we could get here. Now that you’ve led everyone to eat our fill, you’ll be our leader in the future.”

The others also echoed loudly, “Brother Yang, although we’re not from the same village, we’re all relying on you to take care of us along the way. We’re also willing to let you be our leader.”

Brother Yang nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad. Yang Chun, Old Turtle Yang, tomorrow morning, bring your wives out to see if there are any suitable mountain villages nearby. Remember, find a richer one.”

Yang Chun and Old Turtle Yang hunched over. “Okay, I’ll go as soon as it’s dawn.”

At dawn the next day, the two guards of the Ye family came out of the woodshed. When they saw that the house had been ransacked, they opened the door and cried in the alley, “The refugees were here. My master has been robbed.”

Everyone opened the door and rushed into Ye Ju’s house. When they saw the mess, they were terrified. Everyone went home and hid the food and money. Phoenix Town fell into panic.

Li Yu was watching Li Qing and Zhou Jia train in the courtyard. Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and said, “Xiao Xi, it’s too weak to swing your fist like this. You still have to train well.”

Li Qing looked at Zhou Jia proudly. “See! I knew your fists were soft like a big girl’s.”

Seeing his smug look, Zhou Jia swept Li Qing to the ground while he was unprepared. He pointed at him and smiled. “What’s the use of having brute force? You have to use your brain.”

Li Qing pointed at Zhou Jia and shouted, “Sir, you’re too cunning. You secretly attacked me when I wasn’t paying attention.”

Zhou Jia looked at Li Qing, who was lying on the ground, with a sinister smile. Little guy, you snatched my wife the moment you came back.

“When you’re fighting someone, they won’t tell you to attack again!”

At this moment, Ruyi returned from outside. Li Yu stopped him and said, “Ruyi, tell the village chief and the others that no one can be let into the village. Get someone to guard the entrances.”

Ruyi bowed. “Yes, I’ll tell them now.”

Li Yu watched Ruyi leave and said to Zhou Jia, “I felt a little uneasy when I woke up this morning. I’m afraid something will happen.”

Zhou Jia comforted Li Yu gently, “Don’t worry. We’re all prepared. If anything really happens, we’ll deal with it together.”

Old Turtle Yang brought Madam Huang and Madam Ma out of the forest. Madam Huang and Madam Ma were both thin and small. The two couples looked honest and not aggressive at all.

The two couples split up after leaving the forest.

The couple walked towards the mountain and saw that the village along the way was filled with thatched houses. Every door was closed, and there was no one in the village.

Madam Ma muttered softly, “I think these places are similar to our Qingzhou.”

Yang Chun glared at her. “Almost. What do you know? There’s food to eat in this place even when it’s dry.” Yang Chun’s eyes turned red. ” I finally understand that people have to be ruthless to survive in this world.”

Madam Ma raised her head and wiped her tears. “We’re rich now. When we find a place to settle down, we’ll have a few children and let them eat and wear warm clothes.”
