Niu Mili was the first to bear the brunt, but he didn't care at all. He wiped his face with his hand, his face full of grievances: "Our family was planning to go to the lake to wash our faces today, but those old ladies who were washing vegetables saw us coming and waved their sticks to chase us away. We, haven’t we done this? If you want to blame, blame them!”
As soon as these words came out, the people watching were not happy and started shouting one after another.
"Niu Miliang, why do you have the nerve to say these things? Why do we old ladies chase you away? It's obvious that you don't want to wash yourself and are here to disgust us."
"That's right, if you don't go to several ponds in the village, you have to bring your whole family to Dawutang. Dawutang is specifically where we wash vegetables. You guys stink so much. Where can we wash vegetables after you come here?"
"I think they did it on purpose. The whole village is washing vegetables here, deliberately causing trouble for everyone."
Niu Miliang then retorted: "The water in those ponds is so dirty. They are used to wash urine buckets and excrement basins. Where can we go to wash them? The more we wash, the dirtier they become. You are doing this on purpose, just because you don't like us!"
"Dirty ass, no matter how dirty you are, it will be as dirty as yours!"
"I'm just lazy! Dawutang is the closest to his house. I have to travel a lot for other things, but I'm just too lazy to move my legs."
The more they quarreled, the more intense they became. Niu Lizheng had a headache when he heard this: "If you want to quarrel, go out and quarrel with me. When it gets dark, I won't leave you alone!"
With that said, he kicked out all the people in the courtyard and closed the courtyard door with a bang.
The people outside the yard looked at each other, snorted and left one after another, each going back to their homes.
Although I didn't get any silver ingots, my harvest today was pretty good. I'll cut some meat to go home for the tooth ceremony tomorrow.

There is a natural dangerous place at the junction of Xindu County, Danyang County and Wu County, called Chirenling.
The Man-eating Ridge is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is home to a large number of bandits and is called Qingfeng Village.
And because this place is backed by a bay, it has attracted a large number of water bandits, making the power of Qingfeng Village stronger and more rampant.
Businessmen passing here must pay a large sum of money to pay for the road, otherwise they will die. Even officials who pass by will have their skin peeled off.
But this is a place that must be passed through, and bandits are rampant and harm the people.
Youchao also sent many people to suppress the bandits, but they all returned in vain with lost troops and generals.
Therefore, these bandits became more powerful and became famous.
It is understood that there are seven village owners in Qingfeng Village, who are in charge of seven hills. Each village is not weak in strength.
Each of these seven village masters has outstanding martial arts. According to legend, they can open up mountains and open seas, which is extraordinary.
Especially the leader of the seventh village is the most mysterious. It is said that he can kill people from a distance.
Late at night, the lights in the Man-eating Ridge are brightly lit, with singing and dancing, and people drinking and drinking, as if it were daytime.
The seven village owners gathered together to admire the graceful dance of the foreign dancer.
The leader of the village was dressed in red, drinking from a cup of fine white catkins held to his lips, holding a large piece of beef in his hand, his face glowing with a smile.
The other village owners were also drinking heavily and eating meat. They were so unhappy with beauties in their arms.
Only the Master of the Seventh Village at the back sat alone on the couch, pouring himself a drink. The maid serving beside him lowered her head and cut the meat on the plate. After cutting it, she put the plate away and knelt down at the back to listen to orders.
The leader of the big village sat at the top and had a panoramic view of everyone below, and also saw the leader of the seventh village who was not in harmony with others.
"Lao Qi, today is my happy day, why are you so depressed!"
This seventh child has a deadpan face all day long, as if someone owes him money. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat him, he would have been kicked out of this position long ago.
Looking at this face, the meat in my mouth no longer tastes good.
"My nature is like this, brother, don't blame me." The leader of the seventh village stood up and apologized, then sat down and continued to pour himself a drink, without paying any attention to the leader of the big village.
"Lao Qi, what's your attitude? Are you looking down on us?" Before the leader of the big village said anything, the hot-tempered leader of the third village couldn't sit still. He kicked over the low table and strode forward to catch him. The collar of the Seventh Village Master.
"Third brother, calm down, we are all brothers, why use force!"
"Yes, seventh brother has this temper. He treats everyone like this. Why are you angry?"
"Yes, Lao San, you are no match for Lao Qi, so why bother yourself."
The other village leaders sat there without moving, but kept talking.
On the other side, a folding fan easily blocked the palm of the third village leader. The seventh village leader still opened his dead fish eyes: "Third brother, you are no match for me."
Look at this look, look at this tone, look at it, the leader of the third village is so angry that his reason disappears, he directly draws the big knife from his waist and cuts it towards the leader of the seventh village who is sitting on the couch.
"Third brother, no!"
"Third brother!"
Several village leaders who were watching the show did not expect that things would turn out like this, and they all stood up to stop it.
What stimulated this third brother/third brother to make him so angry?
"Hey~" The big sword was slapped away by the master of the seventh village.
"Third brother, I told you, you are no match for me." The voice of the leader of the seventh village did not rise or fall.
But just these few words without ups and downs made the leader of the third village, who had just regained his sense a little, be stimulated again. He screamed and raised his fists, and was then carried back by several people behind him.
"Hmph!" The leader of the third village, who returned to the couch, snorted coldly and never looked at the master of the seventh village again.
"Okay, okay, today is my happy day. Brothers, please calm down. I'd like to toast you all!" The leader of the village was still smiling happily, not caring at all about the scene that just happened below.
"Brother, you are a groom every day and drink wedding wine every day. I don't have enough money for the wedding." The shameful leader of the Seven Villages spoke again, suddenly cooling down the lively scene into silence.
Although the leader of the village marries a concubine every day, if you say it so carelessly, aren't you afraid that the master of the village will hold a grudge?
You must know that the leader of Dazhai is very narrow-minded, maybe smaller than the eye of a needle.
But the leader of Qizhai didn't seem to notice the scene in front of him, and continued to speak: "In the past half year, the wine money of Qizhai has been paid for by our Qizhai. It costs a hundred taels of silver every day. There haven't been many big fish recently. Brothers, now I can’t even afford new clothes, I even go to flower houses less, and I complain every day.”
"Brother, starting from tomorrow, we won't pay for the drinks." He bowed and left the table. The people in Qizhai behind him also followed and left this lively place.
"Ah~~~~~~"
"I'm so angry!!!!"
The leader of the village raised his foot and kicked the maid aside, knocked over the food and wine on the low table, and finally kicked the low table several meters away, his face turning green and red.
The several village masters below had different expressions and remained silent. Even the three village masters with the most grumpy temper knew that something was wrong and hid in the rear.
At this time, the leaders of Qingfeng Village did not know that a group of several hundred silver-armored cavalry were quietly stationed near the Man-eating Ridge, waiting for an opportunity.
"Whoosh~" A white fire shot straight into the sky crookedly.
"The time has come, soldiers, follow me and charge!" Xie Zhou couldn't help but be moved when he saw the signal flare in the sky, and his face became more serious.
The silver cavalry looked like streaks of light under the moonlight, rushing straight towards the base camp of Qingfeng Village, as if they were entering an uninhabited land.
