As soon as he finished speaking, a group of villagers from the mountains came over angrily with hoes and other farming tools.
Fang Xuanling was shocked and was about to speak when he was pulled back by Li Er.
"Xuan Ling, you can't expose your identity later. These are all commoners, so explaining clearly won't hurt them.”
Li Er's words were neither red nor angry, causing Fang Xuanling to be stunned.
These commoners were all carrying hoes and charging over with angry faces. How could they not hurt people?
Good heavens, if the hoe smashed down later, wouldn't it be over?!
"Stupid fool, remember not to expose your identity later. Otherwise, I will skin you alive when I go back!”
Li Er whispered into Cheng Yaojin's ear again. The latter nodded weakly. It was obvious that he was still conscious.
There was naturally a reason for his reminder.
The dignified Nine-Five Supreme Master naturally couldn't let others know that he was in such a sorry state. Did he really think that Li Er didn't care about his face?
"Go, explain to them."
Seeing that a few burly men had already arrived in front of him, Li Er kicked Fang Xuanling and called for the latter to hurry up.
Fang Xuanling didn't dare to argue. He stood up and said with a smile,
" Don't be angry, farmer. Calm down. We are merchants from Chang 'an City. We are here to buy crops, not to steal vegetables.”
"Hmm?"
The few burly men immediately stopped in their tracks and looked sideways at the field that the old man had just dug into. They said angrily,
"Since you're here to buy crops, why did you destroy other people's crops for no reason? Why didn't you enter from the main entrance?"
"This…"
Fang Xuanling's old face revealed an awkward expression. He turned around and looked at Li Er bitterly. It was this guy who suggested coming from the back mountain.
"Ahem…"
Li Er stood up and looked at Fang Xuanling with his hands behind his back."
"Even if you destroyed the crops, hurry up and compensate these farmers.”
Fang Xuanling's face instantly turned red. He took out a few dozen copper coins from his pocket and handed it over with a smile.
"I'm sorry. Just now, my companion slipped and fell into the field. We didn't mean it.”
"This…"
The villagers were simple and honest. Seeing that Li Er and the others were so polite, they did not say anything more. They waved their hands and said disdainfully,
"Forget about the compensation. You guys should leave quickly and not be an eyesore here.”
"This…"
Fang Xuanling was a little embarrassed. He was a dignified Duke, yet he was despised by the peasants?
Li Er also came up and said with a smile,
"Farmer, just now, we said that we were coming over to buy crops, I…"
"Not selling!"
The leader interrupted Li Er and even looked at him with disdain.
"You sneaky people. Young Master said that you can't be trusted. Hurry up and leave!!”
The corner of Li Er's mouth twitched. He coughed dryly and asked,
"Nong family, we came here with sincerity and no ill intentions.”
"Moreover, my servant has eaten your village's crops by mistake. Please let us rest and drink some water. We can give you enough compensation!”
This fellow actually lowered his attitude to the extreme. It had to be said that Li Er's temperament was indeed not something that ordinary emperors could compare to.
"Oh?"
The villagers subconsciously looked at the dying old fool beside them. Seeing that he was wailing non-stop, their hearts softened.
"Alright, you can come and rest for a while, but if you dare to act rashly, don't blame us for being rude.”
"Thank you very much."
Li Er's face was filled with joy as he called out to Fang Xuanling beside him and whispered into his ear,
"I gave too little just now. Give the farmers more money so that we can ask questions later.”
In this fellow's opinion, the farmer's refusal to collect money just now was obviously because he felt that the money was too little. Li Er was still thinking of asking more questions later.
Fang Xuanling's mouth twitched.'You make it sound so easy, why don't you give me some money?'
But he didn't dare to say much. After all, this guy was his boss.
"Nong family, we will rest here later. Take these as a token of my appreciation. Please accept them.”
Fang Xuanling jogged over and handed the money to the leader of the group. The latter was shocked and picked up the hoe.
"What are you doing? I said I won't charge you, so why are you still doing this? If you continue like this, we'll chase you away!”
"Ah?"
Li Er and Fang Xuanling were both stunned. This was something they had not expected. There were really people who would turn a blind eye to money?
"Young Master said that we can't accept money from unknown sources. Take it back quickly, or we won't take you in!”
The brawny man shouted angrily again. Fang Xuanling wanted to say something, but Li Er stopped him and asked the brawny man with a smile,
"Nong family, we gave you this money willingly. It can't be said that we didn't get it from an unknown source.”
"We can't do it willingly. We can't do it without the young master's consent. We work for the young master, and collecting money privately is ill-gotten wealth!”
The villagers couldn't help but shake their heads. Li Er came to a sudden realization, and admiration appeared in his eyes. If only his lackeys could be as honest and not accept bribes.
How could the Great Tang not prosper?
The young master these people were talking about seemed to be quite extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Li Er came over again and asked,
"Farmer, may I ask, are all the crops here planted by you?”
"This mountain belongs to Reliance Village.”
The farmer asked back. Li Er laughed and said,
"Yes, yes, but these crops are quite strange. I don't know where they came from.”
"Young Master asked us to plant them. Why are you asking around? Could it be that he wants to harm our crops?”
An old villager frowned and looked at Li Er. The latter quickly waved his hand and said,
"No, no, no. I'm just curious and admire the young master you speak of.”
"Admiration is only natural. Our young master's methods are extraordinary. Who wouldn't admire him?”
When the villagers heard this, they were quite happy. Li Er smiled. Fang Xuanling suddenly pointed at the cow plowing the field in front of him and said in surprise,
"This cow is so strong, how can it plow so fast?”
Li Er also looked over. Sure enough, the cow in the paddy field was pulling the plow very quickly. It was just a farmer driving it, and it was not difficult at all.
The two of them were stunned. Nowadays, it usually took two cows and two people to plow the land smoothly. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to plow a piece of land for half a day.
But was this really Zhuangshi Niu?
"Farmer, your harrows seem to be a little different.”
Li Er pointed at the crooked pear that the cow was dragging in surprise. The burly man glanced at him and said disdainfully,
"Aren't you rich merchants from Chang 'an? How come he had never seen such a plow before?”
Was he despised again?
"Cough cough…I've never seen it before. Can the farmer tell me the principle behind this?”
Li Er asked awkwardly.
"We can't sue you, we can't sue you. This is what Young Master ordered us to do. We don't know the reason. It's Young Master's ability to plow the land so quickly.”
A lean man at the side said with a smile.
Young Master again?
Li Er sucked in a breath of cold air. It seemed that the strangeness of Reliance Village was related to that young master. He couldn't help but ask softly,
"Nong family, I wonder who the young master you speak of is to be so amazing?”
"Young Master is the reincarnation of an immortal, a great person who saves people from hardship. How can a mortal like you understand?”
The brawny man was extremely proud when he said this. He immediately pointed at the few of them and said,
"Remember this later. Be obedient when you enter the village. Don't cause trouble and be rude!”
"Alright, we will definitely know our manners."
Li Er was even more surprised when he heard this. He could not help but ask,
"Nong family, can you introduce your young master to us later? We really admire him and would like to meet him face to face.”
