She Misses You (Bonus Chapter for Silver Alliance)
Juanzi manipulated her body to wipe Mengzi and Xiao Shan's wounds.
There's only one body, but apart from the wound on my face, the rest of the wounds belong to three people, and they all hurt the same when rubbed.
Mengzi was very upset. "We're just not united. We've been bullied like that by those Two Needle Cries, and there are people watching from the sidelines, not daring to even lift a finger."
Juanzi sighed, "The Local Earth God were merciful; otherwise, we don't know how many of us would have died."
Mengzi remained silent.
There was a Three-Headed People next to Juanzi. The one in the middle was an old lady, the one on the left was a middle-aged woman, and the one on the right was a little girl.
"Juanzi, the Local Earth God showed no mercy; he just struck hard." The old lady's name was Ma Huifang, and the people around her usually called her Aunt Fang.
Her three heads were all women, which is quite rare among Three-Headed People. When they arrived in Kinless Village, Juanzi gathered these people together and wanted to settle them Kinless Village, but the old woman refused to go. Her understanding of some things was clearly more experienced than Juanzi's.
Juanzi felt that Ma Huifang was wrong. "Aunt Fang, the Local Earth God was in control just now, but suddenly stopped. That means he was letting us win."
Ma Huifang shook her head and said, "Just now, we had about fifty people fighting him, and he still managed to gain the upper hand. What if another fifty came? What if another hundred? Do you think he could withstand it?"
Juanzi still disagreed. "Aunt Fang, I used to work outside too. Local Earth God aren't just alone; they have subordinates!"
"I know they have subordinates, but what kind of people are they? Some are only on the ground floor, at most three or five layers deep. Most of the higher-ups have become Wandering Monster. How many of them are willing to follow the Local Earth God?"
"Call out all his men, see if they can stop us."
Juanzi paused for a moment, then said, "Aunt Fang, what do you mean by that...?"
"Since we've come this far, it's time to give it our all. You saw it yourself; when Two Needle Cries too far, we dared to fight back. Although we didn't win, we scared Two Needle Cries half to death."
Fifty men can frighten the Local Earth God; three thousand men together can kill Local Earth God.
Juanzi frowned deeply. "This won't do, we shouldn't do such a thing!"
Aunt Fang frowned and said, "Then what do you think we should do? We've been honest all this way, and to what extent have we been tricked, deceived, and bullied?"
We care about others and do things properly. Now that we're starving, does anyone care about us?
Juanzi shook her head and said, "I promised my benefactor that after we escape, we would just follow the map and someone would definitely take us in."
"But we also need to make it to our destination alive. Yesterday, several people couldn't walk any further and waited by the roadside, saying they wanted to rest, but that was just waiting to starve to death!"
Juanzi fell silent.
The middle-aged Aunt Fang, spoke up, "Juanzi, if you ask me, we should follow the map, find a suitable place, and grab something to eat along the way. We can do both without any problems."
Juanzi understood that finding food meant grabbing it. "But how can you say it's not a problem?"
Young Aunt Fang said, "Let's go to the next place first and ask if they'd be willing to take us in."
If they're willing to take us in, we won't say anything. We'll consider ourselves benefactors. We'll just settle down and live a peaceful life with them.
If they're unwilling to take us in, fine, we'll ask them for something, at least some food. Even a big shot like Pan Dehai gave us food, so our request isn't unreasonable.
If they don't even give us food, and then humiliate us like that jerk from Kinless Village, or cheat us like that Two Needle Cries, then we can't be polite. We should fight them and take what we should take!
Juanzi, you've been out there trying to make a living, you know how hard it is! If we keep trying to be honest, we're really doomed!
Juanzi lowered her head and remained silent.
Mengzi chimed in, "Sister, I think Aunt Fang is right. We need to take something drastic."
Juanzi shook her head and said, "We're being chased by the Guanfang Envoy. If we also fight the Local Earth God, we'll be attacked from both sides. Wouldn't all three thousand of us be wiped out?"
Old Aunt Fang shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Girl, if only that were true, at least we could die a quick and painless death! We're already doomed; dying by the sword is better than starving to death!"
Aunt Fang was middle-aged, said, "Juanzi, now that we've left the Sinner City, we need to change some of our mindsets if we want to continue living."
"Chu Er's personality has changed so much that I almost don't recognize him anymore." Ma Wu was chatting with Li Banfeng as they walked towards Decency Village.
Li Banfeng scoffed, "Where can she transform herself to?"
"You'll see when you see her; she's really different from before."
"I don't want to see her," Li Banfeng waved his hand, turned around and called to Zuo Wugang, "Tell the people behind to keep up, it's muddy and hard to walk on."
More than 7,000 plots of land were cleared out in the Qiu Luoye area. Ma Wu had experience in land reclamation before, but this was the first time he had ever cleared out an entire Hundred Li Land and turned it into a territory.
Not only him, but even if you called his father Ma Chunting out, he wouldn't dare to think about this.
"Seventh Brother, I still can't believe it's true. You're really crazy. You actually managed to do something like this. Back then, even when the Lu Family and the Chu family joined forces, they couldn't even open up a ten-mile radius."
Li Banfeng said, "So, I don't understand this either. We succeeded because three-tenths of it was due to our own efforts, and seven-tenths was thanks to Qiu Luoye's help."
Given the strength of the Chu and Lu Family back then, why did the Local Earth God prevent them from acquiring this land?
"Once this land is developed, both families will definitely be able to operate it successfully. For the Local Earth God, it will be entirely beneficial. Why can't they just let this matter go and instead insist on killing Chu Shaoqiang?"
Ma Wu lowered his voice and said, "I just heard about this from my fourth brother recently. It seems there are other hidden stories. Chu Shaoqiang's death was not only due to the land reclamation and examination, but it seems that the Guanfang Envoy."
Li Banfeng's cheeks twitched. "The Guanfang Envoy have already done enough in Proper Land, but they still can't stop causing trouble in Xindi. There's no place these bastards can't reach."
"Let's not talk about the Guanfang Envoy for now, Seventh Brother. I couldn't sleep last night thinking about this land. If it really becomes Proper Land, what kind of business do you plan to develop?"
Li Banfeng smiled and said, "We were among the first landlords; we can run whatever we want."
Ma Wu said, "I specifically asked about this. The first batch of landlords were not ordinary. The rule of 'bleeding for protection' still exists. With this protection, no one will dare to cause you trouble in business in the future."
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "They're looking for trouble with us. The business belongs to both of us."
"Seventh Brother, you fought your way to this place, I wouldn't dare..."
"Without your support in the business, what capital do I have to fight with? Let's think about the future and how far we can go in this business."
Ma Wu's voice trembled slightly. "I don't know what good fortune I accumulated in my past life to be able to meet you in this life."
"Seventh Brother, I think that in our lifetime, we should be able to develop Medicine King Gully into a successful business."
"That won't do; it has to be more prosperous than Medicine King Gully."
"If we put in the effort, we might be able to become Black Stone Slope."
"Black Stone Slope is also a bit lacking."
"Do you intend to turn it into Green Water City?"
"Let's see what we brothers can do!"
Ma Wu was very excited, but the deeper he went into the new land, the more obvious the practical problems became.
The places where Qiu Luoye are not shallow ground, nor are they adjacent to any Proper Land.
Surrounded by new land, a piece of Proper Land appears. What is this situation?
This is a situation that Ma Wu cannot understand, and there is currently no such situation in the entire Pro State.
Would anyone really travel all that way to live in a city deep in the new land?
Let's leave the disappointment for later, since the land reclamation isn't over yet, and the matter of 10,000 people is still unresolved.
Upon arriving at the Qiu Luoye's Territory, Chu Er came to greet them. The one- Land Block and three-mile Land Block had already been cleared, and Chu Er was preparing to clear a five-mile Land Block. Clearing five miles of wasteland required a lot of preparation. Chu Er's face was covered in dust and she was filthy. Li Qi almost didn't recognize her, but Ma Wu thought she was quite pleasing to the eye.
"Second Miss, you've suffered."
"Fifth Young Master, you flatter me," Chu Er smiled and turned to Li Banfeng, "Seventh Brother, it's been a long time."
"Yes!" Li Banfeng agreed and prepared to leave immediately.
Chu Er said from behind, "I have two things I'd like to say to you privately."
Li Banfeng nodded. "Take your time and tell me."
Ma Wu stopped Li Banfeng and said, "Seventh Brother, the Second Miss wants to talk to you."
Helpless, Li Banfeng followed Chu Er to a secluded spot and asked, "What do you want with me?"
Chu Er lowered her head, smiled shyly, then slowly raised her head, rolled her eyes, and looked at Li Banfeng: "You just left like that, leaving me all alone in the Bitter Vegetable Manor?"
Li Banfeng asked in astonishment, "You're going to the Bitter Vegetable Manor to cultivate, but I'm not Sufferance Cultivator. What am I doing there?"
"Because of you, I've been beaten countless times by that Bitter Granny. How are you going to settle this score?"
"Go consult that Bitter Granny, why are you talking to me?"
"You heartless bastard!" Chu Er went up and started fighting with Li Banfeng.
Hearing the commotion, Ma Wu came over. Chu Er quickly withdrew his hand and said with a shy smile, "Seventh Brother, you're too impatient."
Impatient?
What did they do?
Li Banfeng straightened his clothes and looked at Ma Wu, saying, "You said she's changed? In what way has she changed?"
Ma Wu didn't understand Li Banfeng's meaning. Chu Er had changed so much, yet Li Banfeng couldn't see it.
Li Banfeng didn't want to look at Chu Er any longer, so he turned and left.
Chu Er followed behind, speaking softly, "Seventh Brother, your Second Aunt asked me to pass on a message, saying that you haven't visited her in a long time."
"That's bullshit again, I don't have any Second Aunt..." Li Banfeng suddenly stopped, his attitude towards Chu Er much better. "Well, Miss Chu, could you please pass on a message to my Second Aunt that once I'm done with this busy period..."
Chu Er shook his head and said, "You'd better tell her yourself. My Second Aunt often tells me that if you owe someone, you have to pay them back."
Li Banfeng laughed heartily, "Old man, you're being too polite. He's my own nephew, so what if he owes me a little?"
Chu Er added, "My Second Aunt often says that you need to be tempered, and it's best not to wait until she comes out to arrest you."
Li Banfeng felt a chill run down his spine. Just as he was thinking about how to get Chu Er to pass on a message to Bitter Granny, he suddenly saw Qiu Luoye walking over.
He glanced at Chu Er and asked Li Banfeng, "Is this your lover?"
"How embarrassing!" Chu Er blushed and turned to leave.
Li Banfeng was very curious about how she managed to fake it all.
Qiu Luoye said to Li Banfeng, "Brother, something's happened. Have you heard of the Sinner City?"
Li Banfeng shook his head; he had indeed never heard of it.
Qiu Luoye said, "The Sinner City is the territory of the Three-Headed Fork, and it is inhabited by monsters. A group of monsters escaped from the Sinner City."
These monsters have come to the outskirts of our territory, looking to cause trouble. I'll handle this. Talk to them if you can, otherwise fight them. Keep an eye on the land clearing; I won't be able to manage it for the next couple of days.
As Qiu Luoye turned to leave, Li Banfeng stopped him, saying, "Brother Qiu, don't rush off. If you go, things might go wrong."
PS: Thank you Unicorn Dragon for the Silver Alliance. This is the second Silver Alliance I've received. I don't know how to repay this Salad. So I'm adding an extra chapter to express my gratitude.
