A Western Doctor's Happy Farming Life

Chapter 298: Clash Deepens

Translator: LiamHW

After the so-called Lord Wu finally left the tent, Wu Dahu commanded his subordinates to detain those vicious men who were still standing there and punished them all with fifty beating on their backs. After the punishment, he himself sent those men to the tent of that so-called Lord Wu.

Yet it seemed that the so-called Lord Wu had already determined to vent all his anger on this event, and he did not even want to meet Wu Dahu at all but stayed in the tent ignoring the explain that Wu Dahu was stating.

However, instead of being angry towards the attitude the noble inside showed, Wu Dahu did not have any mood swings at all in his mind. He had said whatever he wanted to express anyway, and whatever the man inside would think about it, it was no more his business. And they wouldn’t have much intersection in future life after all.

They believed that everything was perfectly tackled right now. But the next day when Muhammad visited them and inquired them about event happened the last night, they realized that the so-called Lord Wu wasn’t someone ordinary at all.

After their statement about the event, Muhammad smiled bitterly, and he explained, “Wu Ke is a general who has followed my lead for years, even though he is kind of a stubborn and unruly guy, but rather loyal. At the same time he is quite good at leading the troops to conquer and combat, so he has earned a reputation among the army. But don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean to ask you to surrender under his imposing management. You can treat him the way you want, but…”

“If the clash between you becomes really big, I will never shield him nor you, and I won’t investigate deep into the affair. Probably if one day I have to step in and make a fair judge on it, I will punish both sides. So you might mentally prepare for this.”

Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan exchanged their glances. Well, it was already good enough for them since Muhammad would visit them by his own. He was the king, the unique sovereign within this newly formed region after all. Although he wasn’t so busy that he couldn’t take time to make a further investigation, he could ask one of his subordinates to handle for sure. Therefore, the visit today demonstrated that Muhammad was showing partiality to their side.

After Muhammad left, Wu Dahu turned to the rest of the family members after a careful thought.

“Never go out alone in the future, visit no remote place, and most importantly, the area the Lord Wu owns doesn’t welcome us anymore and we shouldn’t intrude.”

Even though everyone in the family was not aware of the seriousness of the event, all of them nodded as a response.

After this matter was explained, Xiaosi happened to come along, and the group once again set out on their way to the pond side.

When they reached the spot where the bricks were hidden yesterday, they found that the tree branches and other coverings had been lifted and that none of the bricks were left underneath.

Wu Dahu subconsciously looked up in the direction of Xiaosi, who hastily waved his hand and said, “I didn’t come back last night, I suspect it was stolen by those people yesterday…”

And then it was Song Qinghan who came to smile and explain, “He is not suspecting you, but wanting to ask you if you would love to join us to find those bricks back.”

It’s impossible for so many bricks to disappear out of thin air, and since it’s the right time to use bricks, he thought the most likely thing someone could do after taking them is to use them on their own residences, so if they walked around to search carefully, they would roughly figure out who the perpetrator was.

But by the way, how was it possible for the others to know the hideout of their bricks?

In fact, apart from the group of them, those vicious subordinates from Wu Ke’s side was the unique group who once visited here. So was it really true that those people maliciously retaliated just like Xiaosi said?

But such a superficial tactic was really not like what Wu Ke’s team would do.

Besides, the clash just happened yesterday, and then their bricks were stolen today in a row. That would be a super unwise tactic for Wu Ke’s team to steal under such a tense ambience if they did not want to be suspected.

But they had to find out for themselves what the fact was.

They were divided into two groups. The first team consisted of Wu Dahu, Song Qinghan and Xiaosi while the another one included Hualian, Lusen and Yuan Wenxuan. These two groups separated and diverged in a opposite direction to find the trace of the bricks.

Xiaosi seemed to have an intension to go straightly to the area of Wu Ke, but the proposal was quickly denied by Wu Dahu as he recalled the warnings Wu Ke said yesterday. So he purposely skipped the Wu Ke’s area, and started from the next block.

This time, however, they were cautious and told everyone they met the reason for their visit, so there was no unpleasantness like the last time.

It seemed that not everyone was as cautious and unpleasant as Wu Ke.

By the time they reached the rendezvous with Hualien and the others, they realized that the other group also found nothing.

They had searched all the neighboring places, and if they continued they would have to go further afield, but that would take too much time and effort.

Xiaosi glanced at Wu Dahu and cautiously suggested, “Lord Wu, there is still a place that we haven’t visited yet ……”

Wu Dahu knew which place he was talking about and after a soft sigh, he nodded and said, “Go on, Let’s head to visit Wu Ke and take a look.”

When they stepped into Wookiee’s area, they hadn’t gone far before they saw a bunch of unfamiliar figures sweating profusely building houses, holding the very bricks they had made yesterday.

Xiaosi lit up and rushed straight over to yell, “What are you doing? Those are our bricks!”

Those people, however, waved their hands in a brutal manner as they found that there was a group of strangers visiting, “Get out of here! This isn’t a place you can visit without permission! How dare and how shameful of you to claim that these are your bricks? Are you asking for the punch in the face?”

Xiaosi wanted to say something further, but Wu Dahu had already reached out to stop him and said to the group in a calm tone, “These bricks were indeed made by us yesterday, where did you get them?”

Perhaps Wu Dahu’s aura had stunned them, and after a glance at each other, the group said honestly, “Who knows? There were bricks here when we arrived, so naturally they are ours!”

Wu Dahu paused, suddenly feeling a bit of a headache.

This was really a headless lawsuit. They could prove that they had made the bricks, but they were able to prove that these people had stolen the bricks.

After all, if these people hadn’t lied, then someone else had done it on purpose.

Noticing that Wu Dahu was sinking into a silence, those men were completely at a loss not knowing how to act while holding the bricks in hands. And then one of them asked tentatively, “So should we continue, or what?”

They were not the ones who came here yesterday, so when they came over early in the morning and saw the bricks on the ground, they naturally used them as a matter of course, but now after hearing Wu Dahu’s words, they realized that they had used them wrongly!

Xiaosi roared angrily, “Of course you should stop using them! Those are the bricks we’ve worked so hard to make all day! What do you take us for when you say you’ll use it? We want an explanation!”

Those people finally panicked, after all, they all saw what happened to those people yesterday with their own eyes, if they were to be investigated by Wu Dahu today, wouldn’t it be their turn to be get the punishment?

“Oh? What explanation do you guys want?”

Wu Ke’s voice sounded behind their backs. And Wu Dahu came to know that someone had reported to Wu Ke about the affair today as soon as he noticed that there was a shivering man hiding behind Wu Ke.
