Peach Blossom Village occupied an area of about four to five hundred acres. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although it was noon, the atmosphere in the village was extremely quiet.
Yu Qi stepped into the village and soon arrived in front of a small courtyard covered in green vines. This was the residence of his predecessor's family of three.
Yu Qi stepped onto the steps paved with green stone. His right hand trembled as he pushed the wooden door. A sour feeling quickly surged in his chest, and tears were about to fall.
Yu Qi knew that this was the effect of the memories of his predecessor, so he did not suppress it. Putting down the goods on his back, he held the sword in his left hand and pushed open the door with his right hand.
In the courtyard of the Yu Family, there were five wooden houses facing south. There was also a small kitchen courtyard and a large private room in the east and west wing.
Yu Qi looked around. It had been half a month, and the grass in the courtyard had already grown to his ankles.
Yu Qi did not stop. He stepped over the soft grass and pushed open the door of the wooden house.
A moldy smell and specks of dust assaulted his senses.
" Cough cough…" Yu Qi covered his nose with his sleeve and coughed lightly.
In the memories of his predecessor, he had spent fifteen years of his life here. He didn't expect that he would be so lonely and desolate before returning home for half a month.
After getting some clean water and picking up a broom, Yu Qi cleaned the place up a little. After all, he wouldn't be staying for more than a few days.
Yu Qi spent the rest of his time practicing his swordsmanship. He wanted to quickly familiarize himself with the self-defense swordsmanship that he had specially hired the swordsmanship champion to teach him before he transmigrated.
After so many days of military boxing training and the nourishment of the loli Daoist child's medicinal diet.
With his current physical fitness and the self-defense sword technique he had learned on Earth, it should not be a problem for him to deal with four or five people.
He finally had some confidence.
The night was silent. The jade rabbit descended from the west and the golden crow rose from the east.
Yu Qi was practicing his swordsmanship. As he approached, he could vaguely hear the noise of the crowd.
Not long after, a skinny old man with a slightly hunched figure led the way. Behind him was a middle-aged fatty with a pale face and small eyes. He was dressed as a civil servant.
In front of him, the skinny old man with a goatee had memories of his predecessor.
This person was the clan leader of Peach Blossom Village, surnamed Chen. He was also responsible for distributing corvee in the village. His name was Chen Qingshan.
The fat middle-aged man beside Chen Qingshan looked displeased. "Old Chen, what's going on?" he asked Chen Qingshan. Didn't they say that Lu Xun's family had met with an unexpected disaster?”
Chen Qingshan was also embarrassed, but he quickly smiled and said,""Official Xu, Lu Xun's family had indeed lost their lives in the previous fiendish demon disaster. Even their corpses could not be found.”
"Do you think I'm blind? Who the hell is this?”
The fat official coldly shouted in a low voice, his bean-like eyes narrowing. The fat civil official was called Xu Dian, the chief clerk of Qinghe County. As the assistant official of the county magistrate, although he was afraid of Chen Qingshan's son-in-law, it was limited.
If Yu Qi couldn't see what this group of people was up to, then the twenty years of his previous life would have been in vain.
Presumably, Chen Qingshan wanted to take advantage of his predecessor's family's misfortune to devour the land and property left behind by his predecessor.
In the past few days, Chen Qingshan relied on the fact that the county captain of Qinghe County was his son-in-law to take advantage of his power to take away some of the villagers who had encountered the demon disaster, be it orphans, widows, old men, or old women.
Peach Blossom Village had about 2,000 mu of land, and another 200 mu of land was in the hands of Lu Xun, a scholar from Yuyang County.
Lu Xun's family had long been Chen Qingshan's target.
When Lu Xun was still alive, Chen Qingshan had been coveting the land under Lu Xun's name. However, he did not dare to act rashly because he was a teacher in the private school of Peach Blossom Village and had the title of a scholar.
However, half a month ago, Lu Xun's family had encountered a disaster. At this moment, if they didn't take the opportunity to seize the land under his name, when would they?
Yu Qi walked forward and said to Chen Qingshan,""May I know why Clan Leader Chen barged into my house?”
Moreover, he had absolute confidence in dealing with these four people who had entered.
A cold wind blew in the Yu Family's courtyard, and Chen Qingshan felt a chill in his heart for some reason.
Yu Qi replied indifferently,"Clan Leader Chen, you may speak frankly. I still have to sort out Jiayan's belongings and don't have time to entertain you.”
Chen Qingshan was also embarrassed to be interrupted by Supervisor Xu, but he changed the topic and said,"" Xiaobei, your father was a talented person in the county when he was alive. He should have been entitled to 230 acres of land, but it's gone. The county wants to take it back and give it to some refugees who came to Shu to take refuge."”
Yu Qi laughed coldly and didn't beat around the bush. He directly shouted,"Clan Leader Chen, my father's corpse is not even cold yet, and you are already doing such a thing, aren't you afraid of being punished by the heavens?”
Hearing this, Chen Qingshan's face turned green and white. His old and sunken eyes were filled with shame and anger. Finally, from Yu Qi's words that seemed to tear his face apart, he understood that the young man in front of him was not an ignorant child who could be fooled. Instead, he had long understood his plans.
"Brat, this old man explained the situation to you nicely, but you humiliated this old man. You really don't deserve to be a son.”Chen Qingshan's goatee stood up as he angrily berated.
"And who are you?" Yu Qi said disdainfully.
