TVSWWD - Chapter 126 - A Thousand Stones

 Out of curiosity about this matter, Murong Yun watched absentmindedly as these big men tied up the fish one by one.

Among them, the silly Tiedan, after getting Shui Changming's consent, ran away happily carrying a fat fish.

"He must have gone to the other village to meet that Widow Liu again."

Seeing this, the big man carrying fish, shook his head and said fluently: "I don't know if Widow Liu, who killed her husband, can survive this year."

But before he finished speaking, he received a slap from Shui Changming who came up behind him: "You are just saying bad words, why don't you hurry up and work!"

The big man was suddenly slapped on the back and almost lost his breath. However, when he heard Shui Changming's voice, he did not dare to refute. He only dared to shrink his neck and speed up the movements of his hands.

"Chief Shui."

Murong Yun looked at Shui Changming who was carrying the basket of fish by himself. When he passed by, he called out to him. There was a bit of a smile on her delicate and beautiful face. After the other person stopped, she continued: "I wonder if you could elaborate on what you were discussing just now?"

After hearing this, Shui Changming tightened his grip on the bamboo basket, with a bit of hesitation and resistance on his face.

Murong Yun knew his struggle and didn't blame him. She just continued: "I mean, maybe I can help."

While speaking, Murong Yun stretched out her right hand and stroked the hair falling on her temples as if unintentionally. Her white and slender fingertips exuded a little bit of green aura in the weak sunlight.

Shui Changming's eyes changed when he saw the aura, and he was full of shock. Then he took a deep look at Murong Yun, and only after he was sure that there was no malice in Murong Yun's eyes, he nodded slowly. 

There was a bit of hoarseness and solemnity in the voice: "I am blind, it is not convenient to discuss matters here, please may I invite the lady into the hall to discuss in detail."

"Of course." Murong Yun nodded, put her foot down, flew directly from the ice, and in the blink of an eye, she was a hundred meters away.

Shui Changming looked at Murong Yun's skill, placed the fish basket in his hand on the cart, and followed with a big stride.

The hesitation in his heart may be solved with the help of this not so simple Miss Lei.

"Miss Lei, please take a seat."

This time, when Shui Changming saw Murong Yun's deliberately displayed skills, there was a bit of respect on his face. If it has to be said before he was betting on the power that might exist behind this beautiful woman.

And now, he is betting on this woman's own strength.

After all, he had never felt it before the other party showed his spiritual energy, which meant that the other party's spiritual energy was higher than his!

Thinking of this, Shui Changming's eyes moved slightly and he poured Murong Yun a cup of tea himself.

Murong Yun nodded respectfully to express her thanks: "Chief Shui, your village has been kind enough to take me in and help me, and I am not the kind of person who repays kindness with vengeance."

"I can swear to God here that I will never do anything harmful to your village."

Murong Yun knew that no one in this water village, from Tiedan to the leader Shui Changming, was that careless, so she did not play any roundabout temptations and showed her sincerity directly.

Obviously, Murong Yun's straightforwardness made Shui Changming very satisfied. He just sighed again and started talking about the things that he had been hesitating about before.

"Actually, it's a matter of food. Miss Lei also knows that our water village is a den of thieves, but we just don't bully the poor people."

"I think the girl has also seen that there is insufficient food in the village. If we don't find new food, everyone in the village will starve to death. It's ridiculous."

When Shui Changming said this, his face was full of bitterness. Isn't it funny? As a thief, he actually starved to death...

"But a few days ago, we got news about food, and the amount was huge!"

Hearing this, Murong Yun's eyes moved and he raised an eyebrow and looked at Shui Changming, because the other person's tone was filled with excitement when talking about the amount of food. Moreover, this could be praised by Shui Changming who was raising a family of 100 people. 

Come to think of it, this batch of grain is quite large...

This time, Murong Yun became more interested.

"I don't know, how much food is there?"

"A thousand stones!" Shui Changming's tone was filled with wonder. When he mentioned this number, he was also surprised when the subordinate who could report the news told him.

However, the person transporting the food was troublesome. He was only third-level spiritual person in the village, so he might not be a match, so he hesitated.

"A thousand stones?!!"

Even Murong Yun was shocked when he heard this number. In a place like Liao province where the soil is not suitable for growing food, one crop of rice per year cannot produce much food.

Thousands of stones, is this the entire wealth of a wealthy family?

Shui Changming took one look at Murong Yun's expression and understood what she was thinking, and talked about the origin of this batch of food.

"Miss Lei, are you worried about the origin of this batch of food?"

"That's too much to worry about. This batch of food was indeed our food from South Chu... It's just that those hateful Pingyun people sent some people to sneak in half a month ago and pretended to be bandits. 

When talking about this, Shui Changming gritted his teeth. Originally, they were the only den of thieves who monopolized this area, but these Pingyun people had shifted the blame for nothing.

Moreover, these people from the enemy country secretly killed many people this time!

If the inquirer hadn't sent word back that these thousand stones of grain were guarded by nearly a hundred people, including more than one spiritual being, he would have roped in a group of brothers to rob him...

Similarly, Murong Yun also became cold-faced when she heard the origin of this batch of food. He was simply too arrogant. In the land of South Chu, he was seizing people's property and killing people!

No wonder, she saw many people leaving their homes in the snow and wind along the way. It turned out to be these bastards!

"In this case, we will grab these grains!"

Murong Yun squinted her eyes slightly, with a cold look between her delicate brows. Instead of this batch of food falling into the hands of Pingyun Kingdom, it would be better to feed this water village.

Shui Changming looked at the expression on Murong Yun's face and knew that this man also couldn't tolerate sand in her eyes. 

"I'm not doubting Miss Lei, but according to the news, there are nearly a hundred people from the Pingyun Kingdom escorting this batch of food. Most of them are soldiers from the Pingyun Kingdom in disguise.  I was hesitant before because I am not their opponent..."

After all, food is important, but the lives of brothers in the village cannot be taken lightly.

"If they are ordinary warriors, there are hundreds of them, I can also kill them, but the difficult thing is the spiritual practitioner among them. The brother who inquired about the information is just an ordinary person. He cannot determine the spiritual level and number of the spiritual practitioners among them... 

"But since they dare to gather thousands of stones,  of grains they will naturally be invincible unlike my third level."

When Shui Changming said this, his tone was a little weak. He was not only a third-level spiritual person, but also a water type. In terms of attack power, it was actually not enough. He was of ordinary origin and had not been able to learn good spiritual skills. 

Although it has a bad reputation, it is just a bit of a joke among ordinary people.

If the opponent were replaced by veterans who have fought on the battlefield, how could he defeat them?
