Reclaiming Wasteland and Farming: My Haunted Fields Are Spawning Monsters Infinitely

At this moment, Zhou Wohu and Shen Ying had already reached the bottom of the slope.

They did not show themselves, but merely observed the standoff between the two sides from a distance.

Shen Ying sighed, "The Tian, ​​Meng, and Qi families are incredibly powerful; every grain of rice and every blade of grass in the North passes through their hands. Yet this humble land reclaimer has rendered all three families helpless. Uncle Zhou, don't you think that's quite an achievement?"

"You're overestimating this kid. Don't forget your place," Zhou Wohu reminded him.

Shen Ying smiled without saying a word.

By this time, Liu Shan was getting impatient. He leaned close to Manager Fang and said, "Manager, let me rush over there, get a few more people, and take him down together."

"No need to rush. Wait until it gets dark. He definitely won't be able to hold on then, and then you can all attack together."

At this moment, Lü Nian limped over to Li Qingshan and said, "Young man, you go back and rest first. I'll cover for you for a while."

Li Qingshan raised his eyelids and asked, "Can you handle it?"

Lü Nian said, "If we hold on, we can still manage."

Li Qingshan shook his head helplessly, looked up, and saw that it was already dark and night was gradually falling.

He stood up and said, "It's getting dark, I need to go back and rest. I advise you, never go up to the locust tree slope after dark."

Having said that, he picked up his iron spear, turned around, and walked back.

Watching him leave, Liu Shan said indignantly, "We just let him go. That kid is too arrogant."

"What, you still want to force him? Are you as strong as him?" Manager Fang said.

Liu Shan remained silent.

"Go back and inform the young master, and think of a safe way."

……

Li Qingshan dragged his iron spear back to the earthen house, feeling utterly exhausted.

If it really came down to a fight, I could kill a few of them. But then I would have no choice but to flee into the mountains and become an outlaw.

Once I leave this dangerous field, I will lose all my support in this chaotic world.

With a heavy heart, he pushed open the wooden door. Old Zhang, sitting on the table, grinned at him: "Young man, want to play a trick on them?"

"Um?"

……

As night deepened, the earthen house seemed to be tightly enveloped in a cloud of black mist, devoid of any light.

dong dong dong.

Just then, a loud knocking sounded at the door.

Li Qingshan, who was on the kang (a heated brick bed), was startled. Usually, no one would knock on the door of his room in the middle of the night.

Then Lü Nian's voice rang out, which made Li Qingshan furious again: "Young man, are you asleep?"

Li Qingshan angrily yanked the door open and saw Lü Nian standing outside with half her face swollen.

"Young man, I've thought about it. Give me a bag of grain, and I'll take care of this for you. If you're short on cash right now, an IOU is fine too."

"How do you plan to meddle in other people's business, so that the other half of your face gets swollen too?"

"Whether you can intervene and whether you should intervene are two different things. Young man, do you understand this principle?"

Li Qingshan took a deep breath to calm himself down and said patiently, "This matter has nothing to do with you, why do you have to get involved?"

Lu Nian said, "Our patriarch instructed that if there is any injustice in the world, a bag of rice is enough to go through fire and water."

"If you encounter injustice and someone refuses to give you this bag of rice, are you just going to stand by and do nothing?"

"This..." Lü Nian frowned, looking troubled, and said, "It's just a bag of rice, surely no one would be reluctant to part with it?"

"I can't bear to part with it, I absolutely won't give you this bag of rice."

"This, this..." Lu Nian was caught in a dilemma, frowning and muttering something under her breath.

After a long pause, he raised his head and said, "Young man, you should give me a bag of rice. You're in trouble right now, and I can't disregard the rules of our sect. Just a bag of rice will be convenient for both of us."

Li Qingshan was even more speechless than him. He didn't understand what the rules of the Yellow Rice Sect were, but Lü Nian was clearly a stickler for rules.

Simply put, he's a bit dull.

Suddenly, Li Qingshan asked, "How did you get in? Didn't you hear the crying?"

"Are you talking about the mourning ghost under the locust tree? I have a soul-fixing spell, it can't take my soul away."

Li Qingshan's eyes widened suddenly.

"There's no need to worry about the zombies in the field. They only work and don't harm anyone. You're doing a good deed."

Li Qingshan's eyes widened even more: "How did you know?"

"To be honest, someone hired me to come here to exorcise demons," Lü Nian said. "These past few days, I have been secretly observing you. Although you associate with ghosts, you have not done anything evil. I will tell the farmers later not to misunderstand."

Li Qingshan secretly felt lucky; it turned out that Lü Nian had been keeping an eye on him all along. That's why he suddenly appeared today.

This also shows that the defensive mechanisms around one's own farmland are not very effective against true masters.

Although Li Qingshan was not sure whether Lü Nian was a master or not.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he said, "Master, I have always wanted to be a good person, to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and to help those in distress."

Lu Nian's eyes lit up: "This is great news! Would you like to join the Yellow Rice Sect? I can introduce you."

"We can discuss that later. I'd like to ask you a question, Daoist Master," Li Qingshan said. "I'm driving a speeding carriage, and ahead there are five children playing, while on another road there's only one withdrawn child. If I swerve to the other side, I could save the five children, but I'd also run into the withdrawn child. What should I do?"

"You should rein in the galloping horse to prevent its young from running off."

"I can't rein it in, the horse is running very fast."

"You can definitely pull it off. I saw it today, you're very strong. Others might not be able to do it, but you definitely can."

Li Qingshan took a deep breath: "If you were in the car, facing five children and one more, would you choose to save one or all five?"

"I don't drive, and if I did, I definitely wouldn't drive too fast."

Li Qingshan took another breath: "You believe I can knock you out with one punch!"

"Your Excellency should not get angry. If you don't get angry, you won't drive the carriage too fast."

Li Qingshan felt that he could no longer inhale much air into his lungs.

"If someone like the Taoist priest, who isn't very strong but can drive a carriage incredibly fast, what would he choose?"

"Should I drive the carriage onto the third road?"

There is no third way!

"Okay, okay, I understand. Don't be angry."

Lu Nian waved her hand, then frowned and muttered to herself, "In that case, it's troublesome. What difference does it make whether we save one or five?"

Li Qingshan finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Given Lü Nian's personality, this problem would have kept him pondering for at least half a year.

It's time for me to carry out the next part of the plan.
