My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 330 Sweeping Out
"You still want us to pay you grain?!" two young followers behind Amon shouted in dissatisfaction. "Why should we?"

"That's right, we've inquired about it. People from Northern Yan come to fetch water for free."

"Why? Because you have red eyebrows and green eyes, and you're not of Chinese descent." Xin Nian glanced at the group and waved her hand dismissively.

"Look at you, all hairy and unkempt, how do you resemble purebred Chinese people?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xin Nian sneered. "Glacier Lake is a lake within our Chinese territory. You foreigners are only paying a little bit of food in exchange for water. It is our ancestors' kindness to you."

"What does this have to do with the benevolence of your ancestors?!" Several Hutu people were so angry they were practically fuming.

"How can it not be related? If it weren't for our kind, wise, and capable ancestors who incorporated this land into the Chinese territory long ago, we'd still be arguing with you now! Anyway, this lake is ours! If you outsiders want to use it, you have to pay! This is a matter of principle, so stop nagging."

Ameng was so angry that his copper bell eyes bulged out of their sockets. "You're talking nonsense! This Ice Wasteland used to be a no-man's-land, and I've never seen your Great Xia incorporate it into your territory."

"Bullshit!" Xin Nian cursed before realizing that she couldn't understand these scruffy-bearded foreigners.

"What do you know? A thousand years from now, here, there, further north, west, oh you don't understand, it's all our territory."

The henchmen behind Amon rolled their eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

That's ridiculous. You think you can just stick out a finger and swipe around, and the map will just go into your Great Xia's pocket?
When Xin Wenyuan came to find his daughter, he saw his daughter arguing fiercely with A Meng and the others.

He could hear his daughter arguing about Ningguta and Mohe from a distance, the two of them arguing heatedly.

Finally, the daughter even tried to raise her hand to hit someone, intending to use force to suppress the few talking foreigners...

Old Xin rushed over and grabbed his daughter's restless little hand. "What's wrong?"

Xin Nian rambled on to her father, whose eyes twitched. He pulled her aside and whispered, "Daughter, this... is indeed a bit unreasonable."

"You're trying to fool them. We've been exiled to a place even further than Ningguta. What do they know?" Old Xin was exasperated. "We're not even in the same time and space anymore."

She's absolutely blatantly calling a deer a horse...

Amon's anxiety was somewhat justified; with a mere flick of his finger, he had included the glacier lake and the primeval forest into the Great Xia territory.

Oh, now it also includes the area where the Yan people lived.

"I'll go talk to them, I'll go talk to them." Seeing his little girl glaring at him, Old Xin said with a wry smile, "Go inside and see your mother, see if she wants to come out for lunch or something."

Xin Nian snorted, flicked her sleeves, and left without even turning her head back.

Seeing Commander Xin approach, Amon composed himself, composed his exhausted expression, and respectfully bowed, "Commander, could you please have someone bring Miss Yinyin out first?"

“We have informed the Duke of Xin of the matter as agreed. We will also pay you 20% of the profits every year from now on.” Amon paused, then put on a worried expression. “Your daughter said that she will send someone to record the grain production, so you can rest assured that we will not falsify any figures.”

Xin Wenyuan coughed lightly, "I understand. I'll have someone bring Miss Yinyin out later so you can be reunited."

"Furthermore, there's the matter of water usage. Could you possibly make an exception? Life is already difficult enough; if we can't even use the lake water for free..."

Old Xin gave Amon and the others a demonstration of what it means for fathers and daughters to be alike, changing their minds faster than flipping through a book.

They were all smiles and pleasantries just moments before, but as soon as they heard the other party wanted to evade payment, the old ruthless man waved his hand coldly, "Absolutely not! A person cannot function without rules. My daughter has already made it clear to you that you need to pay a certain amount of grain to fetch water."

"Although I am the nominal head of the regiment, my daughter is the one who makes the decisions, big or small."

"But don't worry, we won't overcharge. We'll just charge a symbolic little bit for water, to make everyone understand how precious drinking water is these days. Not a single drop can be wasted."

So, are you charging us or is it for our own good? Amon and the others were a little confused.

They already had only a superficial understanding of the Da Xia language, so it was already quite impressive that they could rack their brains to keep up with the other party's pace and have a conversation without any problems.

The faster the other person spoke, the more confused they became. Standing in the cold wind, the group continued to mutter and complain about Old Xin and his daughter.

After waiting for another half hour, the dozen or so wooden sheds next to them had all been set up by the people working together. Only then did they see two patrol guards dragging the shivering, skin-and-bones Yinyin over.

"Yinyin!"

"Brother Amon!"

The two staged a tragic love story in front of everyone, embracing each other with tears in their eyes.

Chen Ling was registering the check-in information of the Xia people who came to the Yanren camp when she heard the sound. She looked up and her pen stopped, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

She stood up, her face cold, and said, "If there's nothing else, leave now and don't block the passageway."

"No, you also captured Brother Haoming, release Brother Haoming as well!" Meng Lanyin hugged Ameng and cried for a while, then suddenly turned around and roared angrily.

Chen Ling put on a stern face, "Patrol and defense."

"Here!" A patrol of guards rushed out of the passage, startling Amon and his companions.

"Let them go."

"Please leave." The patrol captain stepped forward, his face full of impatience, and asked Amon Meng Lanyin and the others to leave.

They acted as if they were some kind of filthy thing that polluted people's eyes and shouldn't be staying in the camp wasting air.

Meng Lanyin shrank back into Amon's arms, suspecting that these barbaric ancient people might kick them out at any moment.

These people are truly despicable and vicious.

“I heard from my brother Ameng that they paid a lot of grain when they came to ransom people this time.”

"If that's the case, then we must do as agreed! You must release Brother Haoming for me."

Meng Lanyin didn't notice that when she said this, Chief Amon behind her had a look of... annoyance, as if he had swallowed a fly.

Ammon's mind was filled with thoughts of what Xin Nian had said earlier.

[These past few days, Yinyin has been eating your food, drinking your drinks, spending your money, and using your resources to get involved with Xin Haoming.]

These words were like a thorn, deeply embedded in his heart, and now they were causing him even more pain.

As expected, in Yin Yin's heart, Xin Haoming was the person she cared about the most.

But so what.

Yinyin is his, and he will not give up on her.

With a cold face, Amon picked up Meng Lanyin and carried her on his shoulder.

Caught off guard, Meng Lanyin exclaimed in surprise and turned to see Xin Haoming being pushed and pulled out of the camp.

"Brother Haoming."

"Yinyin." Xin Haoming hurriedly ran over there, only to watch helplessly as Amon picked up Yinyin, turned around, and strode away.

Xin Haoming was furious. "Yinyin, wait for me!"

Why are you pushing me?
