Lu Jizu nodded, "I think it's a good idea. Let's wipe them all out tonight, so we don't have to deal with them jumping around and annoying us anymore."
"Yes, Jiawang, I'm not hiding anything from you. Lu Ye's wolf cub's mother has a jade pendant on her, it's definitely a very valuable treasure. If we can seize it together, we'll split it fifty-fifty, how about it?" Grandma Chen leaned in and whispered.
Grandma Chen had initially proposed a sixty-forty split, but now she yielded a step. Zhang Jiawang thought for a moment and said, "Then... shall we all go together?"
"Let's all go!" Zhang Youliang said in a low voice.
As they were about to fight and kill, Zhang Jiawang's chest heaved violently. He deliberately raised his voice to provoke, "Fine, Lu Ye, you refuse a toast and insist on a fine! Then don't blame us for being rude! Everyone, attack! Beat them to death!"
Lu Jizu also shouted loudly, "Beat them to death! They're just a bunch of broken scattered folks, and the authorities won't pursue it if they're killed!"
Bai Sheng and the others were furious!
Lu Ye rushed to the very front and shouted to Bai Sheng, "Leave this to me! You immediately take everyone from Hongshu Slope and retreat!"
Bai Sheng had wanted to fight side-by-side with Lu Ye, but looking at the group of refugees behind her who looked like they would fall apart with a single poke, and the children Lu Hua and Lu Yun, she knew she couldn't be willful!
"My husband is highly skilled in martial arts, leave this to him! You all quickly retreat!" Bai Sheng shouted loudly to everyone behind her.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not retreating! I want to participate in the fight!" Lu Yun said with a stubborn expression.
"I... me too," Tian Dou said weakly.
Bai Sheng pressed her forehead and said sternly to Lu Yun, "Xiao Yun! If you don't want to drag your elder brother down, quickly grab these two children and retreat immediately!"
Seeing his sister-in-law angry, Lu Yun dared not argue further and quickly pulled Tian Dou and another child and ran back.
Lu Hua ran back to the shed, woke up Lu Yu, and pulled him along towards the sand embankment.
Lu Yu had no idea what was happening, his half-asleep face full of confusion.
Bai Sheng shouted to Feng Pingyuan and Du Min, who were holding wooden sticks and preparing to fight, "Brother Feng, Sister Du, your physiques are still too weak, you are no match for them. Now take everyone and retreat quickly!"
Feng Pingyuan and Du Min were devoted to their master and simply ignored the order. Bai Sheng had to issue a stern command, "If you still want to recognize us as your masters, you must obey me! Otherwise, after tonight, you leave my house immediately!"
Only then did the two look at each other and reluctantly hide with the scattered folks.
Ahead, dozens of villagers holding various weapons lunged at Lu Ye.
Lu Ye stood tall, kicking one away as they came, specifically targeting their weapon hands. Those whose weapons were knocked away cried out in pain from their wrists and no longer dared to step forward.
"Attack together! Attack together!" Zhang Yijin raised his shovel and fiercely swung it at Lu Ye with red eyes. Lu Ye dodged, and the shovel struck the sand, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Immediately after, twenty to thirty people swarmed Lu Ye.
The moment they raised their weapons, Lu Ye spun around and flew into the air like a whirlwind. All their weapons struck the people opposite them, and instantly, another wave of wails arose.
Zhang Jiawang finally understood. Although they had more people, they were no match for Lu Ye. Even if the entire village came today, they couldn't do anything to Lu Ye.
It was Clan Leader Li, that old fox, who was truly astute, forbidding the Li clan members from participating. Except for Li Qiang, not a single member of the Li clan had come!
Today was a complete miscalculation, having listened to the instigation of those two idiots!
Fortunately, there was still room for maneuver. Lu Ye hadn't used lethal force. Most of their injured were self-inflicted, while Lu Ye remained unharmed.
Zhang Jiawang immediately shouted loudly, "Stop! Everyone, stop fighting!"
The villagers were already tired of fighting. Hearing Zhang Jiawang's shout, they all stopped at once, and the scene became still for a few seconds.
Everyone looked at each other, no one daring to make another move.
Zhang Jiawang had not prepared how to conclude this gracefully.
Fortunately, at this moment, Lu Ye's slave wife walked over. Facing the villagers of Huangsha Village, she said loudly, "Everyone, if we continue to struggle like this, only you will be seriously injured! I truly cannot bear to see it. How about we think of a compromise to resolve this matter completely?"
"What compromise?" Zhang Jiawang immediately adopted a negotiating tone.
Bai Sheng smiled triumphantly, "To tell you the truth, that camel works at my house every day during the day and goes out to find food by itself at night. If anyone among you can find it tonight, it belongs to them! However, if none of you can find it tonight, and it comes to my house by itself tomorrow morning, then from then on, it will be my family's camel! If anyone dares to provoke us about this matter again, my husband will definitely not let them off!"
"Hmph, how do we know what you're saying is true! What if you hide the camel but deliberately make us search for it?" Li Qiang leaned on his hoe, panting heavily.
One must admit, this brother, you've hit the nail on the head! But, I won't admit it! Bai Sheng's lips curved slightly as she spread her hands towards the desert, saying helplessly, "This brother, Hongshu Slope is only this big, it can be seen at a glance, there's no hiding place for a camel. Moreover, our home was burned down by certain villains, leaving not a single blade of grass, how could we hide such a large camel? You can send people to search now and see if I have hidden the camel!"
Zhang Jiawang exchanged a look with Lu Jizu, then turned to Zhang Yijin and Zhang Youliang and said, "You two go search the sheds!"
The two immediately went.
Zhang Jiawang then ordered several others, "You guys go search nearby!"
Those people also ran out.
Five or six people searched repeatedly for a long time, not even seeing a camel hair.
At this point, the villagers of Huangsha Village had to believe them.
Since they couldn't gain anything tonight, regardless of whether this dark-faced cheap slave was telling the truth or not, Zhang Jiawang had to agree. He couldn't not agree, as they couldn't defeat Lu Ye anyway. He said to Bai Sheng, "Fine, we'll do as you say!" After speaking, he immediately winked at his two sons behind him, "You two, hurry and search!"
Zhang Chuanfu and Zhang Chuanggui heard this and immediately sprinted towards the depths of the desert.
The other villagers looked at each other, their faces showing panic, fearing that someone would find the camel before them.
Before Zhang Jiawang could speak, everyone, like wild dogs fighting for food, quickly ran into the desert in all directions.
