Chapter 70: The Great Struggle
"Steward Xie, you told me, if there is no water in the fields in our village, what will happen to our crops? How will we live then, should we also tear down the embankment for the sake of our family? ”
"Moreover, what nonsense about drowning people, I don't believe it, this stream is not up to the level of drowning people, even if it lacks an embankment, at most it will flood some fields, as for what the people in the village say, it is all a lie to you, Steward Xie."
The man opened his mouth and closed his life, for the sake of that little water, he really had this plan to go directly to break the embankment, today you can stop them, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, as long as you can't stop him, sooner or later, they will demolish the embankment above.
If the dam is destroyed, not only will they go to the village, but you will also suffer from the village, but if this problem is not solved directly, their contradictions will continue, so many people's lives are in his hands, Xie Daoling suddenly felt that being a housekeeper was so tiring, it was better to go into business.
"It seems that I am really not suitable to be a housekeeper, or a businessman." Although he was looked down upon from the Chamber of Commerce, Shinong Industry and Commerce, and businessmen had the lowest status, and they were most despised in this era, even lower than the status of these honest and simple farmers, but there were not so many disputes, and one was careless, but many people's lives, and he was not soft-hearted in business, but at this moment, he was soft-hearted.
Killing, attacking opponents, or raising food prices, etc., he doesn't have that feeling, dead is dead, what does it have to do with me, at this moment, he suddenly found that he had changed, after coming to this small village, he became a housekeeper who didn't know what it looked like, everything changed, he became cowardly, he became amorous.
"Have I changed?"
"Am I hesitating? Is this good or bad? The people on both sides looked at the housekeeper and were stunned, thinking that he had no choice, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, if the problem could not be solved, there would be no water in their fields, and when the time came, wouldn't it be better to plant crops and miss the season, once they missed it, they would not be able to survive this year.
Impatient, the man said in his deep voice, "Guys from the upper village, do you want to release water or not?" ”
The people in the upper village saw that the guys in the lower village were so arrogant, and the old people took it as a joke and laughed it off, but the young people couldn't do it, and they pointed at them and shouted: "Release the water? I said you're stupid, huh? Do you think that these waters are your mother-in-law, who can sleep when you want to, and snort when you don't want to sleep? ”
"Haha."
"Haha."
The man was angered by his words, his mother-in-law is the root of his heart, at this age, he has not yet gone to his daughter-in-law, it is good to be ridiculed by the people from the village, and you guys in the village dare to mock me, which is bearable, which is unbearable.
"You little rabbits, it's so hateful, today Uncle I won't teach you to be a good man, you don't know what it means to respect your elders." As he spoke, the man raised the long stick in his hand and went straight forward, staring angrily at the person who had just mocked him, not afraid, the man in the upper village saw that he dared to come over, walked out one after another, stood in front of him, and said, "What? Are you going to fight? ”
"I'm afraid of fighting, you think I'm afraid of your dogs in the village, you still go up with you." The man pointed at them, hooked his fingers, and disdained them, and the man in the upper village was suddenly angry, no matter how tall and mighty you are, you can't mock us like this, you dare to look down on us, and don't let you suffer a little, you don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.
The upper village raised the weapon in his hand and prepared to start a war, and the people in the lower village were not vegetarians anymore, and they responded one after another, Li Zhou saw this, and knew that the matter was going to be big, and if he didn't stop it, it would really be a big deal, this is his territory, you ghosts dare to act like this, and you don't take him seriously.
"Stop it."
"Who?"
"Who the fuck...... Waste...... Nonsense? ”
Looking back, it was suddenly stunned, the men retreated one after another, not daring to look into the eyes of Li Zhou and others, Li Zhou glanced at them viciously, and finally fell on Xie Daoling's body, a little disappointed, however, I don't blame him, this kind of thing is really difficult to deal with, both sides are reasonable, both sides are not easy to do, he is a businessman, it is indeed a little difficult to do for these simple folks, can't they all be offended, right?
If that's the case, Li Zhou looks down on him and bullies the farmer, he is not a good person in the first place, disappointed to disappointed, but he didn't say anything, Xie Daoling saw Li Zhou, and also saw the eldest brother he dreamed of, although he has become a beauty now, but that look, he will never forget, is still so warm.
"...... Temple?"
"Huh?"
"Young Master."
"Yes."
Li Zhou nodded, the son can be taught, he finally has some eyesight, he won't be so stupid, Li Zhou said lightly: "This matter, you let me down." ”
"Dao Ling is incompetent, and he has disturbed the young master." Xie Daoling bowed his head and confessed, feeling disappointed in his ability to deal with it, however, he did not regret it, Li Zhou said a word and didn't say anything, turned his head to look at those villagers, simple and sincere, with a little fear on his face, obviously recognized who they were, and didn't dare to make noise, Li Zhou smiled slightly: "I think you all know who I am, right?" ”
"The village chief of Shimomura has seen the master."
"The village chief of Kamimura has seen the master."
"Well, very good, since you all know who I am, then the matter will be solved, I won't talk so much nonsense with you, you don't want to make trouble today, except for the village chief who stays, what should everyone else do, there's nothing to do, right? Gather here one by one, eat and hold on, right, all go back. Li Zhou shouted loudly, which frightened the villagers and jumped up, and they didn't dare to refute, so they went back with hesitation.
The village chiefs on both sides left behind were really the two old men who spoke out, the age of the sixtieth birthday, the temples were white, the skin was wrinkled, and the vicissitudes of life were a little panicked, and they didn't know what Li Zhou left them to do here.
"I don't know why the old man let the old decay stay?" The village chief of the upper village asked tremblingly, his voice was extremely small, he didn't dare to offend Li Zhou, the village chief of the lower village stood without speaking, the doubts in his eyes had revealed his inner thoughts, Li Zhou smiled slightly: "Don't worry about the two old men, what about me, I just want to see the embankment, as well as the surrounding environment, leave the two of them, there is no other purpose, I just want the two of you to take the old man for a walk." ”
"I see, I don't know if the master will go to the embankment first, or take a look around." The village chief of Shangcun continued to ask, and Li Zhou pointed to the stream not far away and said, "Let's go up from that side, and you tell me about the surrounding environment, what else they have, and the various conditions of your fields, all of them." ”
Kind eyebrows.
Judging from the appearance just now, the two old men's frightened hearts were half lowered, this old man was too scary just now, not in line with his identity, now he is like a master, Li Zhou doesn't care what they think in their hearts, and walks straight forward, although Xiao Wu and the others don't know what Li Zhou is going to do, they still follow.
A few people walked and stopped, walking on those rugged roads, Li Zhou was somewhat familiar with the surrounding environment, the depth of the stream, the fertility of the fields, and the relationship between the two villages, as well as some things about the previous generation of masters, in short, some did not, the two old men said it all over again.
Shangcun Yunxia Village used to be the same village, getting along extremely well, collecting money, and there was no need to close the door when going out, but later because of the opening of a stream here, the two villages gradually separated into two villages, and after several generations of transformation, one village became two villages, and that stream gradually became smaller after so many years of gentle flow, all because they built a dam on top of their village, and there was nothing at first, for everyone's safety, I didn't care.
Gradually, the stream water is decreasing more and more, and now, it is enough to see the bottom, they try to use it as little as possible, or can not change the situation, spring is about to pass, they find that the water is gone, the fields can not continue to cultivate, at this time, they realized the importance of the matter, and then find the people in the village to theorize, thinking that they blocked who they blocked, but the result is not the case, disappointed and returned, left and right to think, the people in the village came up with this risky way, desperately fight.
Then, with the back story, there was a big fight, on the one hand, he had to rely on the water to survive, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the water would kill him, and both sides insisted on their own words, and no one refused to let go, so they almost started fighting, after Li Zhou listened to it, he just smiled, he was born from the same root, why was he too anxious to fry each other.
You can't act so recklessly without water, you have to think of a way, brute force can't do it, the two village chiefs also understand people, and they know it, but there is no water, everyone is not happy, just wait for their young people to make up their minds, after all, they are all old, and they can't see blood on both sides.
"Can't you calm down? Dissuade young people, don't be so impulsive, if you two control the situation, their young people won't do anything, as the village head, you should do things for the villagers, you can't get by. Li Zhou casually reprimanded two sentences, and the two village chiefs said yes again and again, but they said it unintentionally, the listener was intentional, and Xie Daoling listened to it in his ears.
This was originally his own responsibility, but he didn't handle it well, he disturbed so many people, and let the young master take action himself, he felt a little guilty, and he secretly swore in his heart that he must study hard and work hard in the future, and he couldn't let this kind of thing continue to happen.
As everyone knows, it was today's words that made Xie Daoling walk out of a different life and move towards the glory of life, of course, this is a later story.
