Suppressing his doubts, Qi Quanjin advised, "We can worry about the water later. For now, we must leave; otherwise, if a fight breaks out, our village might not benefit at all."
Though Yongping Village had many men, they were constantly on the move, and each individual's physical condition certainly couldn't compare to those who stayed in the village.
So if a fight did occur, it would only be these outsiders who suffer.
The village chief obviously understood this, nodding immediately, "Water flows downward; let's circle around to lower ground outside the village, and we might find a water source."
"No, we should head toward the mountain."
Qi Quanjin rejected the village chief's plan, "The possibility of finding a water source in lower ground is indeed great, but similarly, the fields of these villagers are likely to be near those water sources."
"Chief, if we blatantly go into their fields, I guess the women and children of their village will come out to attack us."
