Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 313: Everything Strange Must Have a Demon

In order to prevent Li Fenfen from acting impulsively, Liu Qingsong also controlled a small rice transplanter and followed behind.

After a while, the group arrived at the threshing ground at the gate.

Under the pomelo tree, Old Jiang was bandaging the wound of Li Bayi who was lying on a chair.

Li Bayi was seriously injured. Not only were his two eyes bruised, but his right arm was also broken by the hoe. There was also a wound deep enough to see the bone on his right leg.

Li Fenfen was extremely worried when she saw this scene, and at the same time she was a little angry: "Dad, who hurt you like this?"

Liu Qingsong also frowned and looked at Li Bayi.

In his mind, Li Bayi was not a good person. Usually, Li Bayi would bully others, but no one else would bully Li Bayi. But today, such a situation happened. I'm afraid that things are not simple.

"Who else could have hurt me? It was that gangster in the team, Li Dejin! He saw that you and grandpa were not at home, so he brought a few brothers to attack me. If I hadn't run fast, I would have died there today." Li Bayi replied gritting his teeth.

"What did you say? Was it Li Dejin who hurt you?" Li Fenfen was a little surprised.

Li Dejin is a member of the Li family. Not only does he have the same surname as them, but he should also call her father "uncle" in terms of seniority. How could he do this? Is Li Dejin mentally ill?

"Don't be surprised. Li Dejin has been holding a grudge against your father for not being able to borrow money from him two years ago. This time, Li Dejin found an excuse to take action in the fight for the water source of Huangnitang. It's perfectly normal." Li Juren reminded in a low voice.

"What should we do now?" Li Fenfen asked.

"Of course I fought back." Li Juren replied coldly, "No one has ever dared to hit my son in Huang'ao Ridge. This time Li Dejin has set a precedent. How can I not fight back?"

"But..." Li Fenfen hesitated to speak.

If they fight back, they are not afraid of the wasps and bees they raise, but will that solve the problem? If the situation gets out of hand, the one who will be embarrassed is the Li family, not Li Dejin.

"Calm down first. Fighting back won't solve the problem." Jiang Lao couldn't help but speak up after hearing this: "In my opinion, we should take care of Bayi's injury first. As for Li Dejin, I can send someone to deal with him."

"No! If I ask you to send someone, how will other villagers see me, Li Juren? This is my Li family's business, so please don't get involved." Li Juren rejected Jiang Lao's kindness, then turned to look at Liu Qingsong: "Don't watch, just accompany Li Fenfen to my house."

"If Li Dejin and his brothers don't apologize, then you can take your men and fight back with Fenfen."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't kill anyone, I can take care of it."

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong nodded.

He could tell that Li Juren wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter. Otherwise, he would never have asked Li Dejin to apologize, but would have killed him himself.

"Then Qingsong, wait for me for a moment. I'm going to wash my hands and feet." Li Fenfen said as she walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing that he was covered in mud, Liu Qingsong quickly followed behind.

A few minutes later, he changed into clean clothes and came out pushing a sidecar.

"Qingsong, come back early!" Liu Chunhua stepped forward and reminded him.

"I understand." Liu Qingsong nodded.

After Li Fenfen sat in the passenger seat, he drove the sidecar towards Huangaoling.

On the way, Li Fenfen asked Liu Qingsong to drive slower and said, "Qingsong, don't rush into anything when we get to Li Dejin's house. I always feel that this matter is not as simple as my father and grandfather said."

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong agreed readily.

If Li Bayi was wrong and forced Li Dejin to take action, then he would naturally not make things difficult for Li Dejin and Li Dejin's brothers.

But if things are as Li Juren said, and Li Dejin is really holding a grudge against Li Bayi because he failed to borrow money from him, then I'm sorry, he will definitely take action.

Seeing that Huangaoling was in front of him, Liu Qingsong put his thoughts aside and focused on driving the sidecar.

Ten minutes later, Liu Qingsong arrived at the mountain road opposite Li Dejin's house.

Because there was no traffic ahead and the three-wheeled vehicle couldn't get through, Liu Qingsong had to take Li Fenfen out of the car and walk.

When passing by a large fish pond with ten acres of water, Li Fenfen pointed and said, "This fish pond is the yellow mud pond. One-tenth of the crops of the Li family and the sweet potato production team next door are irrigated with its water."

"If there is a severe drought, the Li family will almost certainly compete with the villagers of the sweet potato production team for water."

"This year, the land was distributed to each household, and everyone reclaimed a lot of new land, so the water in the yellow mud pond became a must-have for the Li family and the sweet potato production team."

"Really?" Liu Qingsong was a little surprised. For such an important fish pond, why was there not even a decent drainage ditch downstream of the dam?
Just as she was about to ask Li Fenfen, Li Fenfen suddenly shouted at a barefoot young man in the farmland downstream of Huangni Pond: "Li Dejin, what are you doing, you beast? Where are you going to put the water from my farmland?"

"Humph! I can do whatever I want, what's it to you?" The barefoot young man looked up at Li Fenfen, then sneered and said, "I warn you not to swear, otherwise I will beat you like I beat your father."

“Hahahaha…” Several other young men on the ridge of the field started laughing wildly.

These young men were of different heights, but they all looked 30% similar to Li Dejin, with wide mouths, broad noses, and dead eyes. In other words, even a fool would know that they were Li Dejin's brothers.

Their arrogance and brutality made Liu Qingsong frown.

Li Fenfen was so angry that she stamped her feet and took out a bell and started shaking it.

Ringing the bell means summoning wasps to sting people.

If it were any other ordinary person, they would be scared to death.

But Li Dejin and his brothers were not afraid at this time, and they even showed a playful look.

"How could this happen?" Liu Qingsong frowned.

But Li Fenfen didn't care about all that. After thousands of hornets gathered in the sky above her head, she waved her hand and let the hornets sting Li Dejin.

Seeing this, Li Dejin and his brothers quickly took out a bottle of medicine from their pockets and applied it on their arms and faces.

After smelling the medicine, the hornets that flew over actually all hid far away and dared not get close to Li Dejin and his brothers anymore.

"What's going on?" Li Fenfen widened her eyes.

The hornets she raised were very powerful and they were never afraid to sting anyone. How come something like this happened today?

After coming to her senses, Li Fenfen quickly rang the bell again, trying to get the hornets to attack Li Dejin again.

However, Li Dejin did not give Li Fenfen a chance. He ran towards the embankment of Huangnitang with several brothers, one of them holding a butcher knife in his hand.

Liu Qingsong frowned as he looked at their ferocious looks. After letting Li Fenfen hide, he picked up a dead branch on the embankment and went to meet them.

"Are you looking for death?" Li Dejin, who ran up the embankment, couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Several of his brothers also thought that Liu Qingsong had a mental problem and were about to beat Liu Qingsong down to teach Li Fenfen a lesson, but Li Dejin's smile suddenly stopped and he started howling.

The reason for the howling was obviously that he was hit by the dry branch in Liu Qingsong's hand at lightning speed.

This made Li Dejin's other brothers somewhat confused. After they came to their senses, they hurried forward and grabbed Li Dejin who was about to escape: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Yeah! There are so many of us brothers, why are you running away?"

Li Dejin didn't say anything, but released his hands that were covering his cheeks.

There were clearly visible bloodstains on both sides of Li Dejin's cheeks. One of the bloodstains went directly through his eyes and nose. It looked horrible and terrifying.

"What...what's going on?"

"Brother, who hit you?"

"Tell me, I'll kill him!"

After coming to their senses, Li Dejin's brothers started talking one after another. Among them, the third brother Li Deming, who was holding a butcher knife, even made some harsh remarks.

"I smoked it." Liu Qingsong said coldly when he heard it.

"Then I'm going to kill you!" Although Li Deming felt a little guilty, he still raised the butcher knife and stabbed Liu Qingsong after yelling.

"Qingsong, be careful!" Li Fenfen, who was not far away, shouted worriedly.

But she felt relieved the next second, because Liu Qingsong easily snatched the butcher knife, and then stabbed Li Deming's thigh with his backhand. Li Deming screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered, and also scared Li Dejin and other brothers.

The brothers wanted to run but didn't dare to, after all, Li Deming was still lying on the ground howling in pain. If they didn't help him, it would be bad if the news got out.

But the problem is that in the current situation, they simply don't have the courage to rescue Li Deming, so they can only remain in a stalemate with Liu Qingsong in a state where they can't leave or stay.

Li Dejin saw that this was not a solution, so he bravely asked Liu Qingsong: "Who are you? Why do you want to get involved in our Li family's affairs?"

"He is my boyfriend Liu Qingsong, and he is also half a member of the Li family. How can he not be qualified to interfere in the affairs of the Li family?" Before Liu Qingsong could even speak, Li Fenfen was furious: "But you, as a member of the Li family, beat my father like that for the water in the Huangni Pond. What do you think we should do?"

She didn't want to waste time talking to Li Dejin, Li Deming and the others, but wanted to sting them with a wasp. However, when she saw that the wasp was far away from them, she had to change from attacking to questioning. Liu Qingsong also wanted to know the truth of the matter, so he threw away the dead branch.

Who would have thought that after throwing the dry branch, Li Deming, who was howling in pain on the ground, suddenly pulled out the butcher knife from his thigh, and rushed over cursing.

Seeing this, Li Dejin and several other brothers hurriedly took out the axes they carried with them and followed behind.

Judging from their looks, they want to kill Liu Qingsong as soon as possible.

But before he could get close to Liu Qingsong, the leader Li Deming's right hand was twisted off by Liu Qingsong, and he was kicked into a farmland.

There was water in the farmland at that time. After Li Deming fell into it, he instinctively wanted to get up, but the pain from his broken right hand made him grit his teeth. Not only did he fail to get up after struggling for several times, but he also choked on the water several times.

This scene frightened Li Dejin. After he came to his senses, he ran to the farmland and pulled Li Deming up: "Third brother, are you okay?"

"Cough cough...I...I..." Li Deming wanted to say that he was fine, but the next second he coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Because Li Dejin was close to him, he was sprayed all over.

"Third brother!" Li Dejin hurriedly supported the staggering Li Deming, then turned around and looked angrily at Liu Qingsong and Li Fenfen on the embankment. He wanted to curse and say something harsh, but the next second he was stunned and couldn't help but become afraid.

It turned out that at the time when he was helping Li Deming up, his remaining brothers were all knocked down by Liu Qingsong, and they were all lying on the embankment howling like wolves.

Among them, Lao Wu and Lao Liu had their hands and feet twisted and deformed, and had fainted.

After Li Dejin came to his senses, he supported Li Deming and ran away.

But there was no way for them to escape now. Before they could run five meters, they were stopped by Liu Qingsong holding a butcher knife: "Li Dejin, I'll give you two choices. One is to tell me why you attacked Uncle Li, and the other is to let me stab you a few times."

"As long as you don't die, you can leave..."

The words are not finished yet.

Li Dejin interrupted him in a panic: "I choose one, I choose one, please don't stab me."

"Brother..." Li Deming shouted.

"Shut up." Li Dejin glared at Li Deming angrily.

Now that their brothers are in this situation, naturally they must prioritize saving their lives.

As for other things, he wouldn't think too much about them.

"Then tell me why you attacked Uncle Li." Liu Qingsong urged.

"This was not my original intention." Li Dejin cried and put Li Deming aside. "It was the idea of ​​Wu Tianping from the sweet potato production team."

"He gave me 500 yuan and said that if my brothers and I could drive away Li Bayi's family, he would give me another 500 yuan."

"No...why would Wu Tianping do this for no reason?" Liu Qingsong frowned.

"Was the potion you applied on your body to keep wasps away also given by Wu Tianping?" Li Fenfen also asked.

"Yes, he gave it to me." Li Dejin nodded and admitted, "Otherwise, how could I dare to do anything to your father! The wasps and bees he raised are enough to make me suffer."

"Then what is Wu Tianping's purpose in doing this?" Liu Qingsong asked.

Li Fenfen also looked at Li Dejin with a dark face.

"I don't know about that." Li Dejin said with a sad face, "I only know that Wu Tianping has become rich since he came back. He smokes high-end cigarettes and drinks high-end wine every day."

"By the way, he also married a beautiful mute wife."

"His wife is not mute. I passed by his house that day and accidentally heard her mumbling a lot to Wu Tianping." Seeing that Li Dejin had said everything he needed to say, Li Deming couldn't help but say something as well.

"Then did you understand what Wu Tianping's wife said?" Liu Qingsong asked.

There must be something wrong with Wu Tianping's wife as she pretends to be mute in front of outsiders.

"I didn't understand, not a single word, but she said 'Baga' twice." Li Deming hesitated before replying.

"Really?" Liu Qingsong's face darkened.

Who else can say baka except for those who are just having a trivial life.

In other words, Wu Tianping instigated Li Dejin, Li Deming and others to fight Li Bayi, seemingly for the purpose of competing for the water source of Huangnitang, but in fact it was not the case at all, but to achieve some ulterior purpose.

Seeing that Li Dejin and Li Deming could not explain anything, Liu Qingsong immediately said to them, "Get lost! Take your brothers back to recover from their injuries."

"Hey! Hey!" Li Dejin breathed a sigh of relief and even supported Li Deming as they walked towards the embankment of Huangnitang.

Li Fenfen watched them walk away and said, "Qingsong, are we just going to let them go like this?"

"What else do you want?" Liu Qingsong asked back, "I have beaten the people and figured out what happened. If I don't let them go, I'm afraid someone will die if it drags on."

"What I mean is, be careful that Li Dejin might cheat you." Li Fenfen warned.

"Lie to me?" Liu Qingsong smiled: "That's fine, we can go to Wu Tianping's house and find out everything, right?"

"That's true." Li Fenfen nodded: "But I have to go back and carry my beehive with me."

With the beehives around, she feels confident.

After all, if Wu Tianping can give Li Dejin and Li Deming potion to deal with hornets, then Wu Tianping himself must have it too.

"Then let's go!" Liu Qingsong took the lead and walked towards Li Fenfen's house.

……

After Li Fenfen arrived home.

He poured Liu Qingsong a glass of boiled water before going to get the beehive.

Ten minutes later, she appeared in the main room carrying a beehive on her back: "Qingsong, let's go to Wu Tianping's house quickly, or it will be dark soon."

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong nodded and walked towards Wu Tianping's home in the sweet potato production team with Li Fenfen.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the embankment of Huangnitang again.

Li Fenfen pointed to a mud-brick house at the foot of a large mountain downstream and said to Liu Qingsong, "That's Wu Tianping's home. It takes at least ten minutes to walk there."

"Really?" Liu Qingsong looked over and said, "It's still quite far from us. We need to walk faster."

"Yeah." Li Fenfen nodded, but before she walked two meters away, she was stopped by Liu Qingsong.

Liu Qingsong looked cautiously towards the pine forest across the street: "Come out! Stop hiding."

As soon as these words were spoken, dozens of villagers suddenly emerged from the pine forest.

These villagers included both men and women, young and old, and all held axes in their hands.

Seeing this, Li Fenfen subconsciously hid behind Liu Qingsong: "Wu Tianping, what do you want to do?"

"Hahaha...what do you think?" A young man with a horse face stood up with laughter.

This young man with a horse face is not tall, about 1.7 meters, and looks a bit ugly, and he seems to have an overbite.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong couldn't help but ask Li Fenfen: "Is he the Wu Tianping that Li Dejin mentioned? Why is he so ugly?"

"Yes, he is Wu Tianping." Li Fenfen replied softly.

"Who the hell are you calling ugly?" Wu Tianping was furious after hearing this: "Liu Qingsong, don't be shameless, this is the territory of the sweet potato production team!"

"So what?" Liu Qingsong asked coldly.

Li Dejin didn't know who he was before, but Wu Tianping, whom he had never seen before, could call out his name. What does this mean? It means that Wu Tianping's actions against Li Bayi's family might be aimed at him.

"I won't do anything to you, but from now on, the Li family can forget about using the water from the yellow mud pond to irrigate the seedlings!" Wu Tianping said as he waved to the two middle-aged villagers behind him.

After giving the hatchet to their companion, the two middle-aged villagers took off their clothes and jumped into the yellow mud pond.
