"Brother Youxue, it's not that we don't want to help, it's just that there are elderly and young people at home... She is... Oh, we can't afford to offend her!"

If they had not heard Jiang Muxia mention that she and the eldest daughter of the Mei family were old friends, they might have stood up without hesitation to seek justice for Liu Youcai. However, given the friendship between the eldest daughter of the Mei family and Jiang Muxia, the Mei family would definitely not stand on the side of Liu Youcai, and he was bound to suffer this loss in silence.

Liu Youxue was so angry that his eyes widened and he pointed at the people of Liu Village and cursed them as ungrateful wolves.

The people from other villages looked at the Liu brothers with a sense of ridicule, and somewhat gloating over their misfortune.

"Okay, stop pretending. My sister knows her limits. These are just some minor injuries. Stop trying to make trouble!" Zhou Yue said with disdain after glancing at the Liu brothers.

"So you were just pretending!" Someone in the crowd on the opposite side exclaimed in surprise, "I told you, Miss Jiang is always steady and prudent, how could she possibly blind one of your eyes? You are really cunning and treacherous, you want to blackmail me, but you don't even know your own weight."

"That's right, that's right. Even if he's blind, it's what he deserves. He's done too many bad things, and this is his retribution!"

The people of Liu Village rushed forward to check on Liu Youcai's injuries. After a closer look, they found that there was only a wound on his left eye that broke the skin and flesh, and his eyeball was not injured. The blood on his face was just a deep cut on his cheek caused by the whip, and the blood was smeared on his face when he covered it with his hand.

"Brother Youcai, get up. We can go back to the village and find a doctor to bandage you."

He was not hurt in any vital parts, and the villagers of Liu Village were relieved.

The villagers from other villages looked at his miserable and panic-stricken appearance and despised him from the bottom of their hearts.

He insulted Jiang Muxia and was beaten up in return, and the matter was settled.

But the villagers of Liu Village still felt unhappy as they watched the clear water being released.

Now, the opposing force is so powerful, and there are two martial artists with extraordinary martial arts skills. They can only swallow their anger and fight back.

At worst, they can wait for these people to leave and then block the river. By then, all the fields in their village will have been irrigated, and no matter how they make trouble, no one will care about them.

After the villagers of Liu Village came up with this idea, they left in groups of three or five.

"Wait a moment."

Their plan was seen by someone with ulterior motives, who immediately stopped them.

The one who called out to stop the people was Li Dagang, the son of the village chief. He walked up to the crowd, glared at Liu Youcai, and said in a low voice with a hint of warning, "We know what you are up to. We will send people to guard here if you dare to block the river without authorization. We in Lijia Village are not easy to mess with. Don't even think about saving a single crop from your village."

The villagers around him reacted, raised their weapons, and echoed loudly, "That's right, we won't let you succeed this time."

Liu Youxue's eyes flashed and he felt angry that they had seen through his thoughts. It would be a bad idea to confront them head-on now.

His eyes rolled, a fierce look flashed across them, and he smiled, "Brothers, you misunderstood. The fields in our village have been irrigated almost completely. We were about to dig up the river, but we didn't expect you to come knocking on our door. We got carried away and had a conflict with you brothers. We shouldn't have done that. I apologize to you here, and I promise that this won't happen again."

The sudden change in his attitude caught people off guard. Farmers are always simple-minded and thought that what he said was from the bottom of his heart, so they didn't even think about believing it.

But Jiang Muxia clearly saw the evil intent in Liu Youxue's eyes. She remembered that when she was on the run in her previous life, she had seen someone poison the river water, killing the villagers who used the water downstream.

A light bulb suddenly lit up her head, and she understood Liu Youxue's intention. Could it be that he also wanted to poison the river water and destroy the wheat seedlings in the downstream villages? This idea was too bold, and she was shocked herself.

The dark eyes stared straight at Liu Youxue, as if he felt her gaze. Liu Youxue looked at her, and when their eyes met, Liu Youxue trembled and quickly avoided her sight.

Jiang Muxia had made up his mind at this point, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Such a vicious person didn't deserve to live in this world.

She made up her mind and prepared to catch the culprit in the act.

Some villagers from each village have already left, the river water has flowed downstream, and everyone is busy going back to irrigate their fields.

Jiang Muxia came up to Jiang Hexi and Jiang Hexin and expressed her thoughts in a low voice.

Both of them were so shocked by her horrifying idea that their jaws dropped. Jiang Hexi stammered, "No way, do they dare?"

"Why should we be afraid? As long as they are not caught in the act, no one would think that they were the ones who did it."

"What can we do? The wheat seedlings in the field can't wait any longer!"

At this time, a steady voice came from behind them, "What should we do?"

Jiang Muxia turned sideways and saw that it was Tang Zhongbai and Hu Daxin who had come to them at some point.

The corners of her lips curled up, and her eyes curved into crescent shapes, "You're finally here."

Tang Zhongbai looked around and asked, "Am I late?"

"No, you're here just in time." Jiang Muxia said to the two brothers Jiang Hexi, "You guys go back and water the plants as normal. Tang Juecao is here and won't let them mess around."

Zhou Yue has already told Tang Zhongbai about Jiang Muxia's guess. Hu Daxin frowned and cursed, "This kind of villain should be punished. Jue Cao, give the order and I will execute it."

Jiang Hexi and the others had already been sent away. They were concerned about their fields and had no intention of staying here any longer. After telling them to be careful, they disappeared into the willow forest.

Tang Zhongbai turned his gaze to Jiang Muxia and saw the determination in her eyes. He smiled knowingly and stared at her eyes in a reproachful manner, "Have you made up your mind?"

Jiang Muxia raised an eyebrow and squatted down by the river. He stretched out a hand to scoop up the river water and said seriously, "Liu Youxue can't poison in broad daylight. Let's wait until nightfall. So let's go home to eat and rest now. It's not too late to come back in the evening."

Tang Zhongbai stared at the tenacity and determination revealed on her face. The sunlight shone through the willow branches onto her slender body. There was a colorful halo around her body, which was so beautiful that it made his heart dazed for a moment. This girl, who he had decided to spend the rest of his life with at first sight, had never let him down or disappointed.

Zhou Yue and Hu Daxin had already hidden five feet away. She waited for a long time, but no one behind her made a sound. She was surprised and took back her hands from the water and turned her head to look behind her. When she looked up, she met Tang Zhongbai's eyes and could clearly see the passionate emotions in his eyes. His deep eyes were like a bottomless pool, as if to suck her in.

Jiang Muxia's eyes were flustered. She avoided his gaze and complained in her heart, what was going on with him?
