My village can't be like this

Chapter 729 Provoking trouble
The next day, Wang Fang got up early and went to the town with Mei Jingya to buy vegetables.

Zhang Jianguo was also busy, making paper money with Yan Peifeng.

Since there was nothing for Zhang An to do for the time being, he went to the depression and watered the Davidia involucrata seedlings.

At this time, the Davidia involucrata seedlings in the depression had been watered with space spring water by Zhang An several times, and now they had broken through the soil to a height of more than one foot.

At the current rate of progress, it will grow to a size that can be transplanted without having to wait until autumn.

But when he arrived at the depression, he found several people squatting in their own sapling field, digging something.

"Uh, what are you looking for?"

Zhang An walked into the field and asked them, but did not drive them away directly.

If we do that without understanding the reason, it will have a huge impact on the image of the village.

"Look for earthworms. The earthworms in this field are good stuff. They can be used to catch fish quickly, and they are all big fish."

The man who was asked by Zhang An looked back and said, but the next second, he buried his head and continued digging.

Zhang An frowned after hearing this. He was not surprised why the earthworms here could easily catch big fish, because he came to water the space spring water every few days, and the earthworms inside became very delicious in the eyes of the fish.

But there are only saplings here after all. It won't work if so many people are digging in there.

"Everyone, these are just young saplings that have just broken through the soil. Please don't dig for earthworms in there."

So, he just asked them to leave.

"Hey, brother, please be generous and let us dig some earthworms. We also know that there are young saplings here, so we are very careful when digging."

When they heard Zhang An trying to chase people away, they immediately stood up and spoke while handing Zhang An a cigarette.

It was just as they said, they were very careful to avoid the saplings when digging for earthworms and did not harm any.

"Thanks, I don't smoke. This is not a question of whether I'm generous or not, because my sapling is still small. So many of you are digging and stepping on it, causing it to be high here and low there, destroying the activity of the soil. When it rains in a few days, water will flow into the potholes, and it will easily kill the sapling. You should go dig somewhere else."

Zhang An shook his head and refused the cigarette offered by the other party, then said seriously.

"So that's the reason. Don't worry, we'll level the mud after we're done digging, and we'll make sure there aren't any potholes."

The other people didn't seem to hear Zhang An's intention to drive them away, and they didn't seem to want to leave.

"What I mean is, you can't dig in there anymore, get out now, understand?"

Looking at this group of shameless guys, Zhang An simply raised his tone.

A few of them come to dig today, a few more come tomorrow, and a few more the day after tomorrow, then all the earthworms in his field will be dug up.

He knew very well how important earthworms were to the soil, so there was no way he would agree to let these people continue digging there.

"No, why are you so stubborn? We told you to dig some earthworms and leave. It's not something you're going to do. Why don't you understand?"

Seeing Zhang An trying to drive people away with a sullen face, one guy stood up impatiently and pushed Zhang An with his hand.

"You want to die, right? Then I'll help you do it."

Seeing that the other party was so arrogant, Zhang An no longer indulged him.

He reached out and pulled, then threw the damn guy away.

In order not to crush the Davidia involucrata sapling, Zhang An used a little more strength and threw him onto the wasteland next to him.

When the others saw their friend being knocked down so easily, they immediately rolled up their sleeves, clenched their fists and swung at Zhang An.

Zhang An hasn't had a fight for many years, especially after practicing martial arts, he has never had a chance to fight.

Now these ignorant guys gave him a chance, so he shook his neck and took over.

But in order not to harm the saplings in the field, he was still very careful when he took action.

Some people who were fishing not far away noticed something strange here and rushed over.

When they came over, they saw Zhang An flick his hand and one person flew out, and he kicked another person and sent them flying. All of them together didn't even touch Zhang An's clothes. They all lay neatly on the wasteland next to them, screaming and crying.

At this time, they already knew that they had hit a wall.

However, after seeing so many people coming over, they immediately pretended to be pitiful and said, "Look everyone, this guy is just beating people up just because he's good at fighting."

"Heh, are you really such a bitch? When I talk to you nicely, you just won't listen and insist on taking action. Now that I'm fighting with you, you're still not satisfied?"

Zhang An squatted on the ground, looked at them for a few times, shook his head and said.

He originally thought that these guys could withstand more beatings, but they all fell down before he even put in any strength. They were really useless, worse than the village dogs.

The other people who came were somewhat confused, but some of them knew Zhang An.

Seeing that Zhang An was not at a disadvantage, but was so fierce, he smiled and asked, "Zhang An, why did these guys fall into your hands?"

"Hey, I planted some saplings here, but they came over and destroyed it. I tried to persuade them to leave, but they refused to listen and insisted on taking action to prove themselves. This is the result?"

Zhang An spread his hands out, looking as if nothing happened.

"Hey, you deserve it. I was wondering why you were so angry."

After saying this, he began to introduce Zhang An to the people around him.

For a moment, no one cared about the few people lying on the ground.

"Xiao Ange, what happened?"

At this time, Huang Ming came running with a group of villagers, holding sticks or farm tools in their hands. The scene was very scary.

He was watching the store just now, and when he heard someone say something, he immediately brought people over.

Not to mention the fishermen who were watching the fun, even the few people on the ground didn't even dare to breathe.

They are not fools and they know that this group of people are definitely not here to help them.

"No big deal, just cleaning up some stupid guys."

Zhang An didn't think of starting a war. He could deal with these useless people by himself. It was not worth it for the villagers to get involved.

Later, Zhang Jianwen also came. After learning the whole story, he asked Zhang An how he wanted to solve it.

Others may not know what this means, but Zhang An can understand that it means that he can do whatever he wants on his own territory.

"Forget it, uncle. There's no need for that. Let the police station handle it."

Zhang An thought about it and decided to call the police station and ask them to come and resolve the issue. There was no need to bring a bad reputation to the village.

Soon, people from the police station came over and waited for Zhang An to explain the whole story before asking him a few questions.

They were already frightened when the villagers of Changqing arrived, so how could they dare to quibble now, especially since Zhang An was telling the truth. They just hoped that our great uncle would take them away quickly.

I was afraid that if I stayed here for one more minute, I would be beaten up by the villagers.

Seeing that both parties agreed and had no objections, the police took the man away on the charge of disturbing public order.

This kind of thing is small and big at the same time, but even the village chief Zhang Jianwen has stepped in. These people will never get out unless they are locked up for a few days.

Because of this, a lot of time was delayed. It was almost noon when Zhang An finished watering the fields. He had to quickly send the things home and then go to Yan Peifeng.

After this commotion, the word must have spread that the earthworms in his field are very useful for fishing.

But he was not worried that someone would come to dig earthworms again, as that would undoubtedly be a violation of the will of God, as the lesson learned from the previous incident had just been taken away.

"Xiao An, did you fight with someone just now?"

When they arrived at Yan Peifeng's house, Wang Fang asked him.

Zhang Jianguo and Yan Peifeng did go there just now, but Wang Fang and Mei Jingya came back late from the street and missed it. They heard about it from other people.

"It's okay, just a few blind idiots."

Looking at his mother's concerned eyes, Zhang An shook his head and said with a smile.

As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a gun but hard to guard against an arrow. Wang Fang was not worried that her son would suffer a loss. She was just afraid that those people would do something bad behind her back.

But Zhang An felt that those guys were probably scared by everyone in the village and would not dare to step into Changqing Village again.

It took him a long time of persuasion to finally dispel his mother's worries.

After lunch, Wang Fang and Mei Jingya prepared the feast in the kitchen.

Generally speaking, there are two types of banquets: meat banquets and vegetarian banquets.

Meat banquets naturally refer to those made with meat, while vegetarian banquets used to be made with vegetarian dishes, but now for convenience, many families use fruits instead.

Mei Jingya's offering here was very sincere, and she prepared one table of vegetarian food and one table of meat food.

After it was ready, it was sent to the Sanqing Temple for worship, and Zhang An was responsible for helping to deliver a table.

Zhang Yihang who was in the temple also knew about this and had already changed into Taoist robes and was waiting for them to come over.

After all, since the other party is so sincere, he must take it seriously. It would be good to pray for them while offering sacrifices.

After the worship of the Three Pure Ones was completed, Yan Peifeng formally talked to Zhang and his party about helping to rebuild the Taoist temple and recreate the golden body of the founder.

Zhang Yixing did not say much about this, because this was the sincerity of the believers themselves, and he could not ask for it or refuse it on behalf of the ancestor.

Besides, the other person came to fulfill a vow, so it would be really unreasonable for him to try to persuade him at this time.

Besides, he has been traveling around for so many years and has seen a lot of things like this.

"Master Zhang, please tell us any requirements you have for the expansion."

Seeing that Zhang and his entourage agreed, Yan Peifeng asked him what his request was.

"I don't have any requirements. As long as it complies with the rules, it's fine. Master Yan will do it as he sees fit."

Although Sanqing Temple is much inferior to some other larger Taoist temples, Zhang Yixing never cares about this. To him, the place for cultivation is the same no matter where it is.

Therefore, as long as it does not destroy the main body of Sanqing Temple and does not violate the rules of the ancestors, he has no objection.

"Then Taoist Master Zhang, I will tell you my thoughts first. If there is anything wrong, you must tell me."

Yan Peifeng slowly told him his previous ideas, among which he had originally considered expanding the vacant land outside the Sanqing Temple to build a attic, and also considering including the mountain behind to build an observation deck.

Most importantly, he planned to focus on building a training ground in the Taoist temple.

Because during the days he came to the Taoist temple, he saw Zhang Yihang practicing in the earthen dam at the back every day, so he felt that he must pay special attention there.

What remains is the road leading from the foot of the mountain to Sanqing Temple.

At the entrance of Sanqing Temple, there are wide stone steps, from which you can see that a long time ago there was a road leading to this side.

But now, there is only one small path left, and it has been renovated by the village, otherwise it would be even narrower.

So this path is also in his plan.

After listening to this, Zhang Yixing smiled and nodded. He really had no objection.

Because Yan Peifeng has taken everything into consideration and has not violated the rules left by his ancestors at all.

"Since Taoist Zhang has no objection, let's settle it for now. I have already contacted a designer in the relevant field. After he comes to inspect the site, we will start preparing the design drawings. We can then propose any changes that need to be made."

At this point, the plan to rebuild Sanqing Temple has been put on the agenda, and I believe construction will begin soon.

After a few days, Zhou Yang called Zhang An and others home to discuss the matter, because their daughter was about to turn one month old.

Zhang Anyi had no choice but to become the chief supervisor, while Zhang Jianzhong was still in charge of the kitchen.

As for the position of Minister of Rites, when the old man of the Chen family knew about it, he recommended himself.

The old man has beautiful handwriting, but he has never experienced this kind of thing, so he wants to experience it for himself.

Naturally, the Zhou family had no objections and were very grateful to the old man.

So it was decided that Zhang Jianwen and Old Man Chen would be in charge of the ceremony stage, one would collect the money and the other would keep the accounts.

After everything was discussed and arranged, and everyone had left, Zhang An took out two boxes and handed them to Zhou Yang.

"Yoko, this is what Fatty asked me to bring to your precious daughter, and the other one is a token of our love."

Among them, one is the small jade Buddha that Fatty asked him to help carry, and the other is the gold bracelet that he and Su Ying got made that day.

The reason why I wait until everyone else leaves before taking it out is because I’m afraid that others will think I’m bullying them.

"No, Uncle An, this is too expensive. We can't take it."

When Zhou Yang opened the box, his head immediately shook like an electric fan.

"Why can't I have this? It's not for you. As for the fat man's share, you have to take it first whether you want it or not, because I can't make the decision. You can talk to him when he comes."

Zhang Anke didn't care about him. There was no reason to take back something he had given away.

Seeing her son's embarrassment, Mrs. Zhou came over to take a look and said, "Xiao An, this really won't work."

"Sister-in-law, it's okay. Jiayan will call me grandpa in the future, so what's wrong with me making her a small bracelet? Just give it to her."

Zhang An usually doesn't say this, but now, he said it out loud to ease the atmosphere.
