Chapter 220: The Chief of Xu Village
“...... I advise you not to dig a well, and I advise you to re-lead a ditch, but no one moves!"
“...... Come, one of you will come up to the head of the person next to you, I will see if you have been killed, can there be more water in this river!"
Standing beside the villagers of the two villages, the young man shouted angrily at the crowd,
“...... If you want to dig a well, they will dig it in Chenjia Village, and if you want to open a canal, they will also open it in Chenjia Village, why should we go!"
After the crowd in Xujia Village, a middle-aged woman chewed a sentence, her voice was not loud, but in the quiet environment, it was particularly harsh.
“...... Yes, why should our village pay for it, we should let them dig it by themselves, anyway, we are ...... upstream"
A group of people in Xujia Village shouted.
Immediately after, the people of Chenjia Village also followed and quarreled,
“...... Why should our village dig, you should dig in Xujia Village, stand upstream and intercept the water in our village, let you cut off the water in our village, and let us dig a well, I'm sorry!"
"You people in Xujia Village want to be shameless......
At the entrance of the village, you and I are one sentence, and the noise is noisy again.
"Shut up!
The young man's face grew more angry, and he yelled at the crowd again,
Gradually, the people on both sides reluctantly stopped again,
“...... Xu Guixia, your mother is from Chenjia Village, right? Why, your mother has only been here from the other side of the mountain for many years, and you don't recognize people, right?"
The young man looked at the middle-aged woman with a broken mouth and said aloud.
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman muttered, chewed the root of her tongue and said something to herself, but did not make another sound.
“...... The lack of water is just a matter of Chenjia Village, right, and there is no shortage of water in our village?"
The young man looked at the people from Xujia Village and said angrily,
"This ancestor has been short of water for generations, and you still want to go on like this for generations, right? Look at your children, and look at you now!"
Listening to the angry voice of the young man, the people of Xujia Village quieted down again.
But then it became noisy again,
“...... Then we don't have any money, we don't have money to dig wells, we don't have money to repair ditches!
One of the people in the crowd shouted with his neck skewed and red ears,
“...... Yes, there is no money! The old lady can't pay for the ditch repair in Chenjia Village anyway!"
The crowd was shouting and noisy.
......
Looking at this group of people, the young man's face became more and more angry, but he still took a deep breath and pressed down,
"Have you made enough trouble, have you fought enough! If you have made enough trouble, give me what I should do!"
Looking at the people of Xujia Village, the young man's eyes showed a trace of disappointment, and he did not continue to persuade.
Hearing this, the people who had been fighting before, and the women and old people who had come to them, looked at the young people, then at each other, and at the policemen beside them, stopped the noise again, and retreated towards the village.
The crowd of policemen around did not stop them.
......
"Chenjia Village, give me back!"
Another slightly younger voice sounded, and next to the crowd in Chenjia Village, a young man also appeared, with anger on his face, and shouted towards Chenjia Village.
This young man looks to be in his twenties, and he looks about the same age as the village chief of Xujia Village.
At this moment, he was holding a hoe in his hand, and there was some wet mud stuck to the hoe, and the khaki shorts he was wearing were also stained with muddy water.
“...... Village Chief, if we don't go back, or Xujia Village will dig up the blocked ditch for us, or we will ......."
"What's the matter? Beat people to death? And then you go to jail, and your wife and son are starving in the house!"
The village chief of Chenjia Village looked at the person who spoke up, said something angrily, and then turned his gaze to look at all the other people in Chenjia Village,
“...... Haven't you had enough trouble? Look at you, look at you like this! Haven't you made enough trouble?"
"Village Chief......
"Get out of here!" the village chief of Chenjia Village roared again,
The people of Chenjia Village turned around reluctantly, and walked towards the other side of the mountain with a hoe and shovel.
The surrounding policemen also got out of the way one after another.
The noisy entrance of the village fell silent again as the villagers dispersed from the two villages.
......
"Village Chief Chen, Village Chief Xu......"
The middle-aged policeman on the side turned his head and walked towards the two village chiefs.
"You've made a hard trip, Director Qiu. ”
The village chief of Xujia Village, the young man who arrived first also stepped forward and thanked the middle-aged policeman,
The village chief of Chenjia Village on the side nodded to the village chief of Xujia Village, and also stepped forward.
"We don't work hard, if you want to say hard, it's still the two of you who work hard. The middle-aged policeman looked at the two young village chiefs in front of him, shook his head, turned his gaze, looked at the villagers of the two villages who were gradually dispersing on the side, and sighed,
"These two villages are not easy to manage. ”
Hearing this, the two young village chiefs also looked at the distant villagers in their respective villages.
“...... There's always a way. The village chief of Xujia Village retracted his gaze, smiled and said, "This time, Director Qiu, you have caused trouble again." ”
"It's nothing if it's troublesome or not," the middle-aged policeman shook his head,
"It's just that sometimes it's scary. I won't hide it from you two, you look at my palms, it's really cold sweat that scares me out. ”
The middle-aged policeman smiled, spread out his palms, showed the sweat stains on his palms, and said,
“...... Okay, that's it, let's go first. ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged policeman withdrew his hand, beckoned to the other policemen, and left.
"Then I'll go first. The village chief of Chenjia Village nodded to the village chief of Xujia Village, and walked towards the slope as well.
......
On the side, looking at the entrance of the village that had quieted down again, and at the head of Xujia Village who was carrying a shovel, Lian Ge paused, moved his steps, and walked towards him,
“...... Village Chief Xu. ”
"You ......"
The village chief of Xujia Village turned his head when he heard the sound and looked at Lian Ge, with some doubts in his eyes,
"Tourists passing by. Lian Ge smiled slightly.
Hearing this, Village Chief Xu suddenly said,
"I'm sorry, sir, you passed by our village, and you let you encounter this kind of thing, it was so chaotic just now, didn't you hurt you by mistake?" With apologies, Village Chief Xu said to Lian Ge, "I apologize to Mr. on behalf of the people in the village, I'm really embarrassed." ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge shook his head slightly,
Turning his gaze, he looked at the group of villagers who were gradually moving away and scattered, and asked in a calm tone,
"Village Chief Xu, it's been a long time since the two villages fought for water, haven't you thought of other ways to solve it?"
“...... I've thought about it, but why haven't I thought about it. ”
The village chief of Xujia Village also turned his head, looked into the distance, shook his head and responded,
“...... From when I was a child, the two villages to the present, except for some years when the water rose, other times every year for the water quarrel, non-stop, non-stop, today you intercept the water upstream, and at night he will dig the gap directly for me, and the trouble is more fierce, the two villagers are red-eyed, just like now, with hoes and shovels on the fight...... That's how my dad's leg was lame. ”
As he spoke, the village chief of Xujia Village paused slightly,
“...... As soon as there were too many such things, the two villages hated each other more and more. Ever since I became the village chief, I have advised the villagers to dig a well. However, the people in the village would rather fight and quarrel than pay or send people to dig the well, thinking that another village should dig this well, and their own village would dig this well, and this well would be drilled for another village, and the other village would take advantage. ...... Now, the people in the village not only want to have water in their own village, but also want to leave another village without water. ”
“...... However, it is not impossible. ”
As he spoke, the village chief of Xujia Village showed a smile on his face, turned his head, and gently lifted the shovel he was holding in his hand, which was stained with some wet mud just like his trouser leg.
