Chapter 272 - 40: Water Demon
"Mobilize the surrounding guards and head to Heilongtan. Suppress the water demon uprising with all your might."
At the entrance of the Heilongtan government office, Lin Yuan mounted his horse, ready to instruct Qiao Yuanjing to gather manpower.
And he was to take the lead, whipping his horse towards the direction of Heilongtan.

Ningping Town, Xindong Village.
This village, nestled by mountains and water, had a tranquil, utopian serenity. In an outer ordinary farmhouse courtyard, a village woman was still carrying fodder, heading towards the pigsty.
Behind her, a five or six-year-old daughter followed, clutching a handful of fodder. At such a young age, she wanted to help her mother with chores.
"Cluck cluck cluck."
In the yard, the free-range poultry watched the village woman enter, flapping their wings and rushing over, crowding around her feet to grab more fodder.
She casually grabbed a handful from the basket and threw it to the chickens. The hens craned their necks at the fresh fodder, beginning to peck.
Some hens couldn’t compete with their peers and pecked at the fodder in the little girl’s hand.
