Chapter 181: Chapter 176 The Side of a Petty Woman_1
Translator: 549690339 |
Recently, it’s truly been a period full of troubles!
First came the floods, closely followed by a plague of insects, and the large families within the city are likewise restless.
Qin Niu could feel that it seemed a terrifying storm was about to arrive. Common folk merely wanted to get by with food and warmth, indifferent to these major events.
His strength had increased, yet it was very difficult for him to remain uninvolved.
With greater strength came more benefits, and this indirectly tied him deeper
to the Black Tiger Gang.
All the rich and powerful, it seemed, did not wish for anything to happen to the
Black Tiger Gang.
Otherwise, their good days would come to an end.
If the Black Tiger Gang were to be destroyed, the common folk would certainly be affected, but the most severe impact would undoubtedly be on the elite class.
In any dynasty, those who were in charge were never the common folk but the elite of society.
Power was held only in the hands of a few.
If the Black Tiger Gang were to fall, this region would face a reshuffling, and the situation would become even more turbulent. Many of the elites labeled with the mark of the Black Tiger Gang would probably not even have the chance to surrender.
As for who would dare to destroy the Black Tiger Gang?
This question was somewhat naive; apart from large families in the region like the Fang Family, there were also external forces that could annihilate the Black
Tiger Gang.
They were just looking for an opportunity to strike.
When Qin Niu returned to Shuangfeng Village, he felt the village was now simply a haven of tranquility.
The outside world was plagued with rampaging locusts, leaving people panic- stricken, whereas Shuangfeng Village, thanks to Qin Niu’s presence, succeeded in eradicating the locust disaster and had set up buffer zones at the entrance of the village.
Additionally, Daoyuan Village, with the help of Qin Niu’s three thousand ducks, successfully halted the advance of the Locust Army, forcing them to change their path and seek other routes.
Thus, this small area had become a rare place of purity.
The Yan Family also made significant contributions.
Masters Mo Sang and Shi Doudan, by stopping the locusts at the front, provided benefits to the ordinary people behind them as well.
As for those locusts that were blocked from their path and chose to wreak havoc in other villages, no one would bother about it.
Everyone was for themselves, and the frost on another’s roof was not their concern.
In the face of disaster, it was every man for himself, each relying on their own abilities to find ways to survive.
After returning home, the sky had completely darkened.
Xiao Qing was not at home.
This was by Qin Niu’s arrangement, as he had asked her to temporarily stay with Wang Wanyan during this time.
She had experienced life in society and knew how to please others.
As Wang Wanyan and Qin Niu had a very special relationship, she was naturally very fond of Xiao Qing, saying it was good to have Xiao Qing to keep her company.
“Master, it’s really you!”
Xiao Qing hadn’t slept at this hour; hearing some noise, she ran back from
Wang Furen’s house.
“Xiao Qing was worried about you and refused to sleep. She just kept watching out the window, and I couldn’t do anything with her.
Wang Wanyan, draped in a white robe, followed.
“This child is just like this, it’s not just you—I couldn’t persuade her either.
Qin Niu invited Wang Wanyan into his home.
“Xiao Qing, I’ve retrieved that set of leather armor for you. Try it on to see if it fits.”
Qin Niu gave her the small Pig King Armor.
“Wow, this is fantastic! Thank you, Master!”
Xiao Qing held the Pig King Armor, elated.
Though young, she was shrewd.
