Chapter 579: Fifty-eight, forcibly detained

After pouring water into the vat, Song Yan Ning and her companions came to Shuimu Lake once again.

This time, there were quite a few people by the lake, all using buckets to collect water.

“Mr. Ah Ping, who are those people with you?” Being from the same village, everyone naturally knew each other.

“These are Ah Pin’s friends, they’ve come with us to collect water,” Mr. Ah Ping said cheerfully, walking to the lakeside and handing the bucket to Song Yan Ning.

Song Yan Ning took the bucket, placed it into the water of the lake, and found that she could still collect a bucket of water. However, she did not lift the bucket filled with water. Instead, she poured out the water in the bucket and handed the empty bucket over to Qin Yushen.

Qin Yushen tried as well and found that he could also lift a bucket of water, but he, like Song Yan Ning, poured out the water in the bucket as well.

“Why don’t you lift up the water buckets?” Ah Pin’s father asked discontentedly.

“We can’t lift them,” Qin Yushen said flatly.

Song Yan Ning frowned. She didn’t like the attitude of Ah Pin’s father.

“Then how did you just lift them?” Ah Pin’s father demanded with a stern face.

“Dad!” Ah Pin noticed his father’s tone and, smiling apologetically at Song Yan Ning and the other two, said, “My dad is hot-tempered; please don’t mind him.”

“Mie Yu, help them with a bucket of water,” Song Yan Ning said to Elder Mie Yu, who was about to collect water with a bucket. She had just promised to help them with another bucket of water, and she certainly wasn’t going to break her word.

“Alright.” Elder Mie Yu placed the bucket in the lake and quickly lifted up a bucket of water, placing it in front of Ah Pin and his son.

Song Yan Ning gave Ah Pin and his father a glance, then left with Qin Yushen and Elder Mie Yu.

“Don’t let them go, they can collect water without limit,” Ah Pin’s father shouted to the people who were collecting water. Once Song Yan Ning and the others left, he would never get water like today again. It was the amount of water his family could only collect in six days.

The villagers had also been paying attention to Song Yan Ning and the others the whole time. Seeing Elder Mie Yu lifting up a bucket of water, they understood why Ah Pin and his father had brought them to collect water.

As soon as they heard what Ah Pin’s father said, the crowd surged forward and blocked Song Yan Ning and her companions. The water from Shuimu Lake was their lifeline; who wouldn’t want to collect more water, even just to store at home?

The expressions of Song Yan Ning and her companions darkened as their eyes swept over the crowd with a chilling gaze. If it weren’t for the attitude of Ah Pin’s father, they wouldn’t have minded helping the people with some water, but now they were absolutely unwilling to agree to help them collect water.

“If you don’t move aside, don’t blame us for being rude,” Qin Yushen warned with a cold voice.

Sensing the chill emanating from Song Yan Ning and her companions, the crowd involuntarily stepped back, but the thought of Shuimu Lake’s water drew them forward again.

“Unless you agree to stay here and help us collect water for a year, don’t even think about leaving,” Ah Pin’s father stepped forward and said to Song Yan Ning and the others. He was the village chief’s brother and had absolute authority in the village.

Song Yan Ning smiled mockingly, “Delusional!”

Ah Pin’s father chuckled nonchalantly, “Then it seems we’ll have to inconvenience you to stay here.” From the clothing of Song Yan Ning and her companions, it was clear they were from the outside world. His ancestors had left a record that said that newly arrived cultivators were even less capable than ordinary people. He didn’t believe they could handle so many villagers.
