At this time, someone in the crowd saw Liu Haobing and rushed over and said, "Mayor Liu, why are you, didn't you say that you weren't there?"

Liu Haobing knew that this was Ma Liu from Majia Village, so he said: "Ma Liu, I'm not here recently, I just came back from Nanyun, what happened in the village, why did everyone run over there?"

Ma Liudao: "Mayor Liu, the fight has started, you hurry up and take a look." ”

After Ma Liu finished speaking, he was about to run forward again.

Liu Haobing quickly caught up with Ma Liu, and said as he ran: "What the hell is going on, why did you fight?"

Ma Liuran out of breath and said, " Mayor Liu, it's not for digging wells, after you left, the county sent a working group to our village to find a place to dig a well, but to look for it, saying that our village can not find a suitable place to dig a well, when people are depressed, suddenly a technician found a place, but, this place is the cemetery of the Liu family in our village, you don't know, most of our village is surnamed Ma, but there are a few people with foreign surnames, the Liu family is a family with a foreign surname, although the surname Liu has a lot of households in our village, but the Liu family has a good life, and there is a person who is a big boss outside, I heard that the boss is very powerful, very rich, and often activities in the province, I heard that when he returned to Liudong City, even Qu Shengren, the secretary of the municipal party committee, gave him three points of face, and now he wants to dig the well in the cemetery of the Liu family, and he can't agree to anything, and the team promised to give money, but they didn't agree. ”

Liu Haobing understood what was going on, and said as he ran: "Then why did the fight start?"

Ma Liudao: " Mayor Liu, now other villages are not good at supplying water to our village, our flooding pond has completely dried up, and if we don't dig a well with water as soon as possible, the whole village must be in chaos, Ma Zhishu can't do the work, he let a few young descendants in the village forcibly move the grave, and then dig a well in the cemetery, this is not, the Liu family was furious, and even picked up a shovel, and injured a lot of the descendants who moved the grave, I heard that the branch secretary was also beaten with several shovels, and the two sides were facing each otherThe whole village was immediately thirsty to death, and they did not care about the lives of the living for the sake of the dead. ”

Ma Liu's physical strength is better, he said while running, he didn't feel tired at all, but Liu Haobing couldn't do it, although he was young, but compared with Ma Liu, his physical strength was obviously not as good as Ma Liu, and he was already out of breath.

Liu Haobing turned back and found that Ma Xiaohu and Zhao Zhen were gone, but he knew that this was their village, although he didn't come back for a few years, but many people should know him and should be fine, so he ran to the front, because he knew that the villagers fighting was a big deal, and these villagers had weak legal knowledge, and sometimes they would make big mistakes, and maybe they would kill people.

Liu Haobing thought of this and hurriedly ran forward.

Ma Liu turned back and saw Liu Haobing fall behind him, so he hurriedly returned, took Liu Haobing's hand and hurriedly ran forward, saying as he ran: "Mayor Liu, this matter today depends on you, and you have to dig the well no matter what, otherwise, what can the villagers do if they have no water to drink?"

Liu Haobing stopped talking, and ran forward quickly, after a long time of running, they finally arrived at their destination, at this time, Liu Haobing stopped and watched, and saw a cemetery near the mountain full of people, as if these people were holding furniture in their hands, and they looked like they were about to burst.

Liu Haobing didn't have time to rest, so he ran forward quickly.

At this time, Ma Liu was already shouting at the top of his voice: "Everyone, stop, Mayor Liu is here, everyone stop it, Mayor Liu is here!"

Everyone heard a few words from Mayor Liu, and knew that this Mayor Liu was Liu Haobing, the deputy mayor of Lishan Town, so they quickly turned their heads to look at the shouting place, and sure enough, they saw Liu Haobing running towards this side.

At this time, Liu Haobing's prestige in the eyes of the people in Majia Village was higher than everything else, and Ma Dahu also heard that Liu Haobing was coming, and his hanging heart finally let go.

Ma Dahu quickly came to Liu Haobing's side and said, "Mayor Liu, you are here." ”

"Ma Zhishu, what's going on?" Liu Haobing hurriedly said.

Ma Dahu was embarrassed and said: "Mayor Liu, I'm really sorry, after you left, Secretary Yue subsidized the oil money and the people's coolie money to each village, but they didn't provide water for a few days, and it was not good to supply, I was very anxious, and I quarreled with a few of them for this matter, and the working group also came down, and after coming down, I searched all the places in the village and couldn't find a suitable place to dig a well, and finally accidentally found this place, saying that this place can dig a well that the whole village can drink." However, just as the working group was about to start construction, it was blocked by Liu's family, what do you say? After Ma Dahu finished speaking, he spread his hands and made a helpless movement.

At this time, the old man from Liujia Village came over, Liu Haobing knew that this old man's name was Liu Dening, and he was the oldest elder in Liujia Village, with extremely high prestige.

He hurriedly walked up to the old man and said, "Old man, it's good." ”

The old man also knew Liu Haobing, knew that Liu Haobing was a good official, if their family surnamed Liu didn't have Liu Haobing to build a house and food, maybe they would have starved to death by now, although they had a son to raise, but what about the others, it was his nephew and nephew, so when Liu Haobing came, his anger was not so strong.

"Mayor Liu, what's good, someone wants to dig up our ancestral grave, do you think I can be okay?"

Liu Haobing looked at the wrinkles on the old man's face and said, "Old man, since the working group has explored that only this place can dig a well, then it can only be dug in this place, you can't watch the whole village die of thirst." ”

The old man looked at Liu Haobing, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said: "Mayor Liu, I will listen to everything you say, if it weren't for you, would my old Liu Tou still have a life, you have worked hard for our entire Majia Village, my old Liu Tou has seen it, so let's dig it." ”

At this time, many young descendants of Liujia Village came over and said: "You can't dig it, this is our family's ancestral grave, digging it will ruin feng shui." ”

After hearing this, the old man said: " Yes, I also know that digging will corrupt feng shui, but although there are not many of our Liu family, but they all owe Mayor Liu's kindness, if it is someone else, even if he touches a handful of soil from our Liu family's ancestral grave, I will let him leave his life, but Mayor Liu is different, he is our benefactor, how can we make it difficult for our benefactor, so let's do it, I promised Mayor Liu to dig the ancestral grave, then I am the sinner of the ancestors of the Liu family, so, before digging the grave, I will commit suicide, after I commit suicide, please bury me in this cemetery first, and then move the grave, at that time, I will die blindly, and I will explain when I see my ancestors。 After saying that, he crawled on the ground and cried.

The old man cried as soon as all the men, women and children in Liujia Village cried, although the Liu family is not much in Majia Village, but these people gathered together, not a few, at least two or three hundred people, at this time one of them said: "Since the uncle is no longer alive, then I am not alive either, after I die, you will also bury me in the ancestral grave, and then let them move the grave." Then he began to cry again.

As soon as he cried, everyone cried, and they all shouted at Liu Haobing: "We are all not alive." ”

Liu Haobing looked at the earth-shattering cries of hundreds of people, his brain was confused, this is really not a good thing to solve.

Liu Haobing knew that things were very tricky, if the well was not dug up, the whole village would die of thirst, if the well was dug strongly, this old man and the people in his clan might really die, that was also a big deal, it seems that this matter should be considered in the long run, and the well cannot be dug blindly, if digging out human lives is not a trivial matter.

Thinking of this, Liu Haobing walked up to the old man and said: "Old man, you get up first, you know that I haven't been in the mayor recently, I just came back from Nanyun, I heard that you guys are fighting here, so I quickly ran over, so let's understand it again, and see if there is any good way to let all the villagers in Majia Village have water to drink and keep your family's ancestral grave, how about it?"

The old man heard what Liu Haobing said, and hurriedly said: "Mayor Liu, you are really a good official, if you are really embarrassed, then my old man will die now, and when you bury me, you can dig a well in my ancestral grave." ”

After hearing this, Liu Haobing said: "Old man, I'll find a way." ”

Ma Dahu saw Liu Haobing's appearance and knew that it was not possible to dig a well in this place, so he hurriedly walked up to Liu Haobing and said: "Mayor Liu, all the places in the village have been explored, and they are not suitable for digging wells, only this place can dig wells, what do you think, the water supply of other villages is not very active now, and the water storage of each family is not much, it is difficult!"

Liu Haobing said: "Ma Zhishu, don't worry, I'll find a way." ”

Liu Haobing turned to Ma Dahu and asked, "Secretary Ma, what about the comrades of the working group?"

Ma Dahu pointed to the three or four comrades huddled together, and Liu Haobing hurriedly greeted them.

When those people saw Liu Haobing's style, they knew that this was the leader of the township, and quickly stood up.

Liu Haobing walked up to several working group members and said, "I'm really sorry everyone, I've been out of town recently, and I just came back from Nanyun, which made everyone suffer." ”

Before these working group members came down, the secretary of the county party committee gave the task, so that they should find a suitable place for the villagers of Majia Village in the shortest possible time anyway, so they came to Majia Village, worked very hard, just these days, ran all over the place of Majia Village, but found nothing, just when they decided to call it a day and go back to report to the county, suddenly accidentally found this cemetery, after monitoring, know that this place is very suitable for drilling wells, and the amount of water is abundant, the wells are definitely enough for the whole village to drink and irrigate, when they report this situation to Ma Dahu, Ma Dahu is also very happy。

Just as they were happily preparing to dig a well here, the Liu family rushed over with shovels and heads, showing a desperate look, and the staff looked at the Liu family's desperate formation, and were almost scared to death.
