Chapter 5: The War of Black and White

The act of killing is not the primary business

In this day and age, regarding pigsties, without even mentioning the environment, let's talk about the pigs. Their tusks are not much different from those of wild boars, and when it comes time to slaughter them, it truly requires several strong men to keep them at bay

For instance, the king has already dispatched the Third Division, appointing Prince Yin as the general. This month, they will pass through "Wuhu" and then officially engage in battle with the "Nanchao Clan".

To have such good luck as to "pick up" a strong and mighty husband while doing laundry is truly the pinnacle of good fortune

The soil beetles of "Black Dragon Sand" have visited several times, all of which were defeated single-handedly by the mighty and powerful Li Jie

As for whether a third "Black and White War" will occur, it no longer depends on "Black Jiao Sha," but rather on the village tyrant Li Jie

Therefore, regardless of how harsh the environment of the pigpen may be, if the pigs were to go wild, they could indeed bite a person to death

As a cultured individual who graduated from a textile college, it is quite scientific and in line with common sense to engage in conflicts with others while bringing along a younger brother

Unfortunately, although many people in "Baisha Yongfu" have subtly reminded the village chief through the sand sculpture brother and the village chief's wife, it seems that the village chief has no intention of capitalizing on this momentum

Although it was quite chaotic, the lineup was successfully formed

Queue!

For the first time, a dozen or twenty individuals came, engaging in various forms of extortion and blackmail. Li wielded a stone hammer in one hand and a rattan shield in the other, single-handedly pursuing and striking down over ten people for five miles. He captured three unfortunate souls, who were then confined next to the pigpen

Gently stroking her belly, Dan furrowed her brows slightly and looked at her husband with some concern, "Jie, can Baisha win?"

Also, because Li Jie has the surname Li, he is also referred to as "Shou Li"

In any case, the weapon in the opponent's hand cannot breach the defense

Then, the situation escalated... The so-called "heroes" of Baisha Village, seeing the momentum was favorable, immediately followed the village chief to feast on meat and soup, capturing thirty to forty prisoners in one go

The tall and imposing Li Jie brings great reassurance to Bai Dan, exuding a majestic and powerful presence that naturally instills a sense of security

After finishing the important tasks, I will then engage in a brief practice

Beep beep

Every day, we still follow the routine of taking the "Bai Sha Yong Fu" to cut trees and bamboo for building houses, or weaving bamboo products, setting up Huangshan cages, or organizing teams to go to Yunting and Furong to trade aquatic products and ramie.

The second time the "Black Cuttlefish Sand" came, the number of people increased to around one or two hundred. Although Bai Sha Village also sent about one hundred "brave men," they still lacked confidence when it came to fighting.

It is simply unbelievable that the village bully Li Jie, clad in two layers of "bamboo armor," wielding a stone axe in one hand and a stone hammer in the other, is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, invincible in battle

Typically, those who are accustomed to foraging in the wild, that is, relying on wild vegetables to stave off hunger, will resort to catching Chinese mitten crabs when they are truly desperate for food

"Mr. Li, do we still need to practice this morning?"

The imposing village bully Li Jie has years of experience in leading a team to fight for wages, and when he sets his sights on a target, he unleashes a fierce onslaught

In the eyes of the elder of the "Wugeng" family in Yunting, the village chief of Baisha Village indeed showed him great respect, refusing even rice and instead asking for the lowest quality beans

With this turn of events, the people of "Heijiao Sha" no longer wish to seek revenge or recover their losses; at least for now, their spirits have been taken away, leaving them with no thoughts whatsoever.

After becoming pregnant, Dan's complexion became more radiant, and her skin became even smoother. No longer engaged in physical labor, her life of "being pampered" made her already extraordinary beauty appear even more stunning

However, in order to appease the tyrannical village chief Li Jie of Baisha Village, the elder of "Wugeng" allowed the chief to choose the type of transaction himself, and Li Jie chose soybean seeds

Why do women appear? Often, if a captive has sisters at home, they will bring the sisters out to redeem the very valuable strong laborers.

A total of thirty-eight captives were redeemed by "Heijiao Sha" using fifteen women, five hundred bolts of linen, as well as various grains and dried meat

A group of about one to two hundred people came to "Black Serpent Sand," but they were all chased and cut down by him alone

The loach sold to Yunting "Wugeng" indeed did not receive cash, and for the family elder of "Wugeng", five coins is also a small fortune

In the past, there was a fear of conflict with others, but now each villager has transformed into a sycophant, eagerly hoping that the village chief will lead them in acts of violence.

However, the old and young folks of "Baisha Li," along with those who were weak and clung tightly to the village chief's thigh, were all willing to pick up stone axes and stone spears to follow the village chief in attacking others

Thus, the people of "Heijiao Sha" no longer consider extorting Bai Sha Village; offering apologies and redeeming captives has become a basic operation

They are all cowards, unwilling to offer their hearts for their own village, so what is there left to say

The villagers, who dared to feel anger but not express it, now had their own little calculations. With such a formidable village chief, a "Shaye" strongman, who would fear defeat by following him

However, now it is a "war" between villages, which is no longer a personal conflict. From an individual perspective, why should I fight for the village? It would be such a loss to die.

With ten people in each team, there are exactly fifty workers today, forming five teams

Today, the housekeeper of "Wugeng" at Yunting came to collect loaches. Upon hearing the commotion, he came out to see what was happening. Little did he know, upon seeing it, he was taken aback.

In a one-on-one challenge, those from "Shaye" are not timid; people of all ages, regardless of gender, are enthusiastic about such duels

The villagers of Baisha Village are indeed "timid in public warfare," but does that mean the people of "Heijiao Sand" are united in their efforts? That is simply not the case.

The king has officially launched a campaign against the 'Nan Chao Clan', and the brave warriors of Baisha must also expedite their training

Who would have thought that the village chief of "Baisha Village" would be such a "fierce man," fighting like a wild dog that has broken free from its leash, utterly frenzied

As for the serious matters... Cutting down trees and bamboo, digging pits to build houses and toilets, weaving eel traps, it is quite busy

The elder of the Yun Pavilion exclaimed in astonishment, "This fierce man is indeed a talent in the art of war!"

The second "Black and White War", village tyrant Li Jie achieves a great victory

In the first "Baisha - Heijiao" war, the village bully Li Jie achieved a small victory.

It is, Prime Minister Li.

I have a wife, I have a house, perfect

When a woman is lost, she can be replaced, given birth, or married again; however, when a strong laborer is lost, the household of a person who is merely a "shaye" may often collapse

It is normal to engage in private duels

Having defeated the "Black Serpent Sand," how much grain, jerky, and women would that yield

The beautiful silkworm girl remains the beautiful silkworm girl, while Village Chief Li, as the beggar version of Xiang Shaolong, possesses a courage far greater than that of Xiang Shaolong

In the eyes of the villagers who dare not express their anger, exchanging rice for food is evidently more enjoyable. Among the "Shaye" people, only those engaged in salt production in "Dongsha" have the qualification to regularly consume rice

Accompanied by the urgent sound of bone whistles, the "Bai Sha Yong Fu" who were digging ditches and repairing ridges immediately dropped their work and hurried to gather at the site in front of "Bu Ku"

Wuhu, Li Jie did not know where it was before, but later learned that it should be the predecessor of Taihu Lake

Therefore, it is quite normal to be "afraid of public battles"

Black eel, earth chicken and tile dog

After the merger of the villages, whether in heart or in word, the tyrannical village chief is their leader. The selected "Bai Sha Yong Fu" are all recognized as "the first" according to the traditions of "Sha Ye" and respect Li Jie as the "chief"

Both parties immediately established a "deep" "friendship". Occasionally, Village Chief Li would bring some salted fish over and could also gather some news about Suzhou City from the old man at home
