Reclaiming Wasteland: Carefree Mountain Farmer

Chapter 64 Ruthless Man 2
"Mother! Clan Chief!"

Mu Lin quickly ran to the entrance of the Beiji Wu family's house, banging on the door and shouting.

"Coming, coming, what's up?"

Jiang Rong was busy in the yard when she heard her son calling her, so she came to open the door.

Beijiwu doesn't mind children coming to play with their mother. When Gao Conglian's son comes to play, she gives him two cakes and some fruit, and also lets them come in for a drink of water.

Mu Lin rarely comes over, but he does work with Bei Ji Wu. Last time, he even went to the market with Bei Ji Wu.

Although Jiang Rong was determined to have a child with Beijiwu, she still retained a lot of affection for her son, Mulin.

When Mu Lin saw his mother open the door, he quickly shouted, "Mother! The debt collectors are here, in the dining hall! Tell the clan chief immediately!"

Upon hearing that the debt collectors had arrived, Jiang Rong quickly turned around to find Beijiwu.

Like Li Hong's family, my family was in debt to loan sharks.

They were sold here because they couldn't pay back the money. Now that the debt collectors have come, they'll definitely have to pay back a large sum of money.

Sir, you must be rich...

Jiang Rong walked cautiously into the courtyard. The thought of having to spend a lot of money because of her made her feel like a child who had done something wrong, and she was a little scared.

Arctic Martial, who was exercising in the yard, was unaware of what was happening outside and was diligently practicing his rapid killing technique.

In normal fights, the goal is to be fast, accurate, and ruthless, but the standards for fighting one person and fighting a group are definitely different.

The key is to harvest quickly and effectively.

Jiang Rong stood awkwardly in the backyard waiting for Bei Jiwu, but Li Hong, who was also in debt, couldn't wait any longer.

"Sir! The person who owes us money has arrived. Would you please go and see him?"

Beijiwu stopped thrusting, pulled his spears back and stood them upright, then walked towards the main hall.

"What debts are you owed?"

Jiang Rong replied, "Both the Mu family and the Li Hong family owe money to Boss Yang of the grain store. It's all interest-free loans, and they're finding it increasingly difficult to repay."

Arctic Martial roughly understood what was going on, so he put down his weapon, took some money from the house, and went outside.

"I gonna go see."

The women all breathed a sigh of relief.

When Beijiwu arrived at the door, Mulin called out, "Clan Chief!"

"Ah."

Beijiwu simply responded and walked outside.

Not long after they started walking, Beiji Wu, Mu Lin, Jiang Rong, Li Hong, and others saw Mu Chuanliang and his group walking towards them.

Upon seeing Beijiwu, Mu Chuanliang quickly shouted, "Clan Chief! These people have come to collect a debt from you!"

Beijiwu laughed and said, "Just pay back whatever amount you owe, it's not like we don't have the money."

I did intend not to pay it back before, but now I'm making money quickly and have some spare cash. I should pay back the money I owe, and I can't let people look down on me.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qing and Manager Yang both smiled.

Especially when Yang Qing saw Beiji Wu walking over in sloppy, sweaty clothes, with hair as short as a monk's trumpet, he looked like an immature teenager.

Shopkeeper Yang glanced at Bei Jiwu, then his eyes fell on Jiang Rong behind Bei Jiwu, and his smile became even brighter.

"You must be Arctic Wu, right? Since you're willing to pay back the money, I'll give you face. If you pay back the money honestly, we naturally won't beat you up."

Beiji Wu frowned, looking at the group in astonishment, then at Mu Chuanliang, whose expression was complicated.

Mu Chuanliang's expression was complicated, as if he had a thousand words to say.

Beijiwu, too lazy to think, asked directly: "Alright, how much money does the Li family owe in total? I'll pay it off for you, so you won't have made a wasted trip."

Yang Qing smiled and said, "It's twenty taels in total. Can you afford it?"

Upon hearing this, Beiji Wu immediately took out two gold leaves and said, "Of course I can pay back!"

Yang Qing and the other four looked at the gold leaf that Beiji Wu had taken out. The gold leaf gleamed in the sunlight and did not seem fake.

Manager Yang quickly dismounted from the donkey, stretched out his hand and said, "Quickly, let me see it!"

Beijiwu walked over and handed over the gold leaf, saying, "It's absolutely real, there's definitely no problem."

Beijiwu had no idea about Mu Chuanliang's situation. He just thought that if the problem could be solved with money, then money should be used to solve it. Besides, it was true that they owed money.

Shopkeeper Yang took the gold leaf, examined it carefully, and then took a small bite. Soon, his face was covered in a golden glow.

"Good! It's really true! But this is only twenty taels, it's still two taels short."

Beiji Wu frowned. "Didn't you just say it was only twenty taels?"

Mu Chuanliang breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. He knew very well that Beiji Wu could be very easy to talk to at times, and very difficult at others.

Shopkeeper Yang looked at Bei Jiwu with a helpless expression, casually stuffed the gold leaf in his hand into his pocket, and squinted at Bei Jiwu, saying:

"Others owe twenty taels, but you still owe me two taels of silver. Your father owed me money when he was treated, and there's still a little left over."

"The interest has been delayed for two years, a minor illness has become a major illness, and a small amount of money has become a large amount of money."

Arctic Martial frowned, quickly recalling what happened last year.

"Oh, so you've come to collect a debt from me!"

Beijiwu looked at the five people and asked seriously, "Is that right?"

Yang Qing laughed and said, "That's right! I'm here to collect a debt from you!"

Arctic Martial's face instantly turned cold. "I don't lack money, but I lack manpower. You five will stay here as slaves. If you dare to resist, I'll kill you!"

In broad daylight, Beijiwu, an honest village boy, unceremoniously transformed into a mountain tyrant!

Yang Qing and his four companions stared in astonishment at the cold-faced young man. Yang Qing laughed and scolded, "Kid, you dare to act tough with us? Don't you know who the Yang family is?"

His words didn't intimidate anyone. Not only Beiji Wu, but also Mu Chuanliang and the men, women, and old women nearby all looked at the five of them as if they were a joke.

Mu Chuanliang cursed, "I think you five are the ones who've lost your minds! Didn't you even bother to find out who our Grandpa Wu is before you came here?!"

Beijiwu, too lazy to waste words, directly reached out and grabbed Manager Yang, who was closest to him.

"what are you up to?!!"

Shopkeeper Yang shouted, and then felt his body being lifted up by the boy.

Enraged, Arctic Martial Arts lifted Manager Yang and threw him at Yang Qing.

The man, weighing over 100 pounds, flew towards another man!
Arctic Martial strode forward, and as the two men were about to dodge the flying object, he reached out and grabbed the male servant driving the carriage from the carriage, throwing him directly to the ground.

The oxen on the cart were frightened and quickly fled from the fierce man.

Yang Qing had just dodged his father's attack when Beiji Wu grabbed his ankle and pulled him off his horse.

creak!

Arctic Martial broke Yang Qing's thigh with a single stomp!

"Aaaaaah!" Yang Qing let out a blood-curdling scream.

His screams evoked a sense of shared suffering in a large group of people nearby, for reasons unknown.

At this point, everyone realized that when Arctic Wu slapped them in the face, he had ultimately held back his strength.

Just when everyone thought that Arctic Martial Arts would stop short of the point, they were shocked to see Arctic Martial Arts' actions and broke out in a cold sweat!
Beijiwu took a knife from the bag on Yang Qing's horse and, in full view of everyone, including Manager Yang and the servant Ma Cao, swung the fine knife toward Yang Qing's fine head!

Wow! The mortal world is churning in!
In an instant, Kitada Village fell silent!
The women in the village quickly looked away, and the elderly and children were also frightened.

Manager Yang and his male servant finally witnessed what a ruthless person was.

"I was thinking of letting you live and work in the fields, but then I realized that supervising you would be too much trouble."

Beiji Wu, holding a blood-stained iron knife, walked towards the remaining two. "Since you've come to collect a debt from me, let's see who's tougher!"

Shopkeeper Yang immediately cried out, "Grandpa, spare me! Grandpa, spare me!"

Arctic warriors will not spare him!
With a powerful swing of the iron knife, Manager Yang, who had just gotten up and was trying to escape, felt a lightness in his body and saw his grandfather.

A male servant took out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed at Beijiwu.

The other two men standing behind also grabbed axes hidden on the car floor and swung them at Beijiwu!
The Arctic martial arts master cleaved the man's panicked arm with a vertical slash, then finished him off with a horizontal swing.

The other two thugs were so terrified that they trembled uncontrollably and were too weak to fight back in this life-or-death situation.

chap!
After killing three people, Beiji Wu, without exhaustion or panting, stomped his feet on the ground a few times, jumped up, and swung his knife down at a thug who was stunned and unable to move.

Whoosh! Another black shadow the size of a watermelon landed and flew out!

The last person was so scared that he wet himself, tears and snot streaming down his face.

Ma Cao had never seen such a scene in twenty or thirty years; his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, Beijiwu raised his long sword and slashed down without the slightest hesitation!

The earth is no longer clean!
The weather was dry and the sun was scorching, and a large group of people in Beitian Village felt a chill in their hearts.

Beijiwu coldly looked at the five people on the ground, "Clean this up, burn the clothes and corpses and bury them in the ground as fertilizer, and confiscate the horses, carts and money!"

"Anyone who dares to steal, don't blame me for turning my back on them!"

Beijiwu flicked the blood off his iron sword and looked coldly at the others.

Tuoba Niu swallowed hard, his legs went weak, and he dared not meet the gaze of Beiji Wu.

Kitamura Dingbian and the three Kitada brothers were also terrified.

Although Ma Lao Er and Ma Lao San had long believed that Bei Ji Wu could take on six people at once and kill all one or two hundred people in the village, they still couldn't help but feel scared when they actually saw Bei Ji Wu make a move today.

Kitada was so frightened that he sobered up completely and was extremely grateful that he had stopped his son from going to war with the villagers and Beijiwu.

If war had broken out back then, I really don't know how many people would still be alive in Kitada Village now.

The five debt collectors had their fields burned and fertilized. Beiji Wujin's account contained a civilian horse, a cow, a donkey, more than eight taels of silver and copper coins, a blood-stained ledger, and five or six weapons.

Everyone knows how Arctic Wu made his fortune, but no one can learn from it, let alone dare to.

When the fire was being lit, Beigong Dingbian and Tuoba Niu stood together.

Beside him, Beitian Biao said to Beitian Gen, "Father, what if the Yang family comes to question us? The people in the county will definitely suspect the clan chief."

The Yang family members died without cause; they dared to come and demand repayment from Beijiwu.

However, if the three debt collectors don't return, the people in the county will definitely suspect Beijiwu, especially after they find out Beijiwu's true character. They will absolutely suspect Beijiwu without any evidence.

Kitada didn't care. "It's fine. What's done is done. I'm not afraid of them coming. If they dare to come, they'll all stay!"

Tuoba Niu asked, "What if people from the military settlement come over?"

Kitada thought for a moment, "That's uncertain. Usually, if someone dies, they just get fined. They won't mobilize troops right away. For now, we can just send some people to keep watch at night."

Tuoba Niu nodded, "That's true. If we follow the county officials, we can't even get a bowl of soup. If we follow Master Wu, at least we can have a full meal."

Surrendering to the imperial court brought no benefit to Kitada and his people. On the contrary, Beijiwu acted recklessly, making the Kitada villagers, who were at the bottom of society, no longer at the bottom.

Tuoba Niu decided to marry his younger sister into Beitian Village.

There was no way out for Changchengtun. Any money they made would be taken away little by little by their superiors, and in the future, they would either die from the oppression of government soldiers or from being robbed by the Hu people.

The cattle and horses of the Hu people were cheap mainly because they were all stolen.

Some robbed herdsmen, while others robbed Han Chinese.

Everyone's path to wealth is the same as that of the Arctic Martial Arts Academy.

Tuoba Niu returned to Changchengtun, bringing his sister, women from the same village, and three Tatar slaves to seek refuge with him.
