Chapter 198: In front of the land, fly and tear down the temple

A thick cloud of incense white smoke rose above the Land Temple, slowly drifting away at the head of the village, disappearing in the joy of the sacrifice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The incense is rekindled, the inheritance continues, and the merit can be achieved.

The land lord took a deep breath, his eyes flickering. He touched his long snow-white beard and smiled on his face.

The land woman trembled and leaned on the crutches, smiling with a smile.

The team then continued on to a nearby village. Today's ritual is jointly held by the four towns and eight villages, and the whole ceremony must be worshiped by the land temples of the eight nearby villages.

The five or six villages in front of them all went well.

But when they reached the seventh village, a large truck suddenly stopped in front of them, blocking the way to the Land Temple.

The elders who walked in front were very angry. This auspicious time has come, and whoever puts a car across here and misses the festival will be angry with the god of the land!

"Who is so ignorant, what a day today! How can you park like this, misunderstand everyone's business! Find out whose car it is and find someone to remove it! Li Chengyi said unhappily.

Just as he was about to find someone to ask, a young man quickly ran to Li Chengyi and whispered, "Uncle, this is the Zhang family's car!" ”

"Zhang family, which Zhang family?"

"That's it...... It is the Zhang family that has contracted hundreds of acres of land and dozens of fish ponds in one go, that is, the Zhang family of Zhang Chenghu and Zhang Chenglong! ”

"What? It's them!? Li Chengyi was stunned for a moment, and several respected clan elders around him couldn't help but gasp.

Speaking of this Zhang family, it is really a tyrant in four towns and eight villages. Although the two brothers, Zhang Chenghu and Zhang Chenglong, are only farmers, they have flexible minds and have made a fortune ten years ago. And because there is an uncle who is an official in the county, in recent years, there has been a lot of help from nobles, and in the past two years, he has been even more powerful, and he is in awe of the villagers.

In just a few years, the two brothers have contracted hundreds of acres of land and thousands of acres of fruit forests in the nearby four townships, dozens of fish ponds, and more than a dozen chicken and pig farms. There are already hundreds of villagers working for them alone.

For this reason, the Zhang family has become the largest family in the nearby four townships.

However, the clan elders gasped at the same time, not only because the Zhang family was rich and powerful, but more importantly, the Zhang family brothers were domineering, and in the process of making a fortune, I heard about their ruthless methods.

In the process of contracting land and acquiring farms for the Zhang family, whenever they encountered non-cooperation, the Zhang brothers were not polite or soft-hearted, and scolded the timid and beat the bold. The most important thing is that they are beaten in vain, and no one can do anything to them afterwards. In this way, after injuring a few people, the reputation of the Zhang brothers spread, leaving a reputation in the nearby towns and villages that they "can't be provoked".

Their ruthlessness is also reflected in the process of making a fortune. According to the people who work for their families, the Zhang family planted the land either frantically applying chemical fertilizers or spraying pesticides desperately, and the Zhang family themselves did not eat the rice, fruits and vegetables grown on the Zhang family's land.

Their chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, and cattle are said to have been raised on instant feed. Not only that, but they also often give hormones to these livestock, so their chickens, ducks and fish all grow fast, and only one batch of others raise, and their family can sell three batches.

Their poultry and livestock are all known for their fat and strong appearance. But in the same way, the Zhang family themselves don't eat a bite. Not only that, but no one in the nearby four townships dared to eat it.

These things were all sold by the Zhang family to the countryside and to the city.

To be honest, in the hearts of the simple villagers, the reputation of the Zhang brothers is really unbearable. Especially the old farmers who have worked in the fields all their lives, they really can't get used to the Zhang family's behavior of making money, and they are scolding them for "harming people" behind their backs.

Not to mention the fact that they use these problematic agricultural products to harm consumers, the land contracted by them is also polluted by the excessive use of pesticides, hormones, feed, etc., and ordinary villagers dare not ask for them.

In this regard, the Zhang family is not ashamed at all, but often laughs at the villagers for being brainless and unable to keep up with the times.

"This year, you are still farming and raising chickens like you used to, and you deserve to die of poverty!"

"We're making money, so what! It's better than starving to death! ”

"In this era, laughing at poverty and not prostitution, Lao Tzu makes a lot of money, eats and drinks spicy, you can also earn it for me to see! A bunch of pink eye, huh! ”

At this time, Li Chengyi looked at the big truck blocking the road, and there was an angry look in his eyes. "We worship our land, and the Zhang family drives to block the road, what does this mean?"

A junior stepped forward and knocked on the door of the big truck and asked the driver a few words.

The driver put his bipods on the steering wheel and looked at them condescendingly, his expression very disdainful. "I'm only responsible for driving, I don't know anything else. If you want to ask, ask our boss Zhang yourself. ”

The latter asked a few words to no avail, so he had to walk back stupidly.

This village-level road is already narrow, and if one car is blocked there, the whole team can't move at all. The lion dance team had no choice but to stop, and the villagers who followed behind were helpless.

Li Chengyi and several clan elders kept looking at the time, and their expressions were a little anxious. "Ahem, this, what's going on!"

At this time, two middle-aged men with big bellies, hair combed back, and shiny hair, with a leather bag under their arms, walked over with several people swaggering.

The two men looked similar, and at first glance they knew that they were brothers.

"Brother Zhang is here!" The crowd was in an uproar, and some people cried out in surprise and joy.

Li Chengyi hurriedly stepped forward with a few clan elders and said to the two men, "Two bosses Zhang, I can look forward to you!" Your car is blocking the road, and we are in a hurry to worship the land, can you ......?"

One of the older men is the boss Zhang Jackie Chan. He glanced at Li Chengyi and the others coldly, and said, "Several, you go to other villages to continue worshipping." There is no need to worship here. ”

"Huh?" Li Chengyi and the others were shocked and surprised. "Why?"

The other one with a slightly chubby face and a slightly younger age is the second Zhang Chenghu. He looked at the crowd with a smile, waved his hand and said lightly: "The land in the Land Temple in front of us has already been owned by our Zhang family." We're going to build a chicken farm there, and now the forklift has arrived, and we're about to shovel the temple. Go and worship somewhere else. ”

One of the clan elders, who was from their Zhangjia Village, almost fainted when he heard this. "Zhang Chenglong, Zhang Chenghu, you, you are crazy! That's the land temple, even if you have the land to build something, do you have to move the land temple first, how can you say that the shovel will be shoveled? Besides, what day is today, the big guys are preparing to worship the land, and you are going to shovel the temple! You guys, you're so lawless! ”

The villagers behind the clan elders are also a little emotional.

"yes, you're going too far!"

"Even if your Zhang family is rich, you can't do such nonsense, right?"

Zhang Chenglong sneered and said, "Worship a fart? A group of old and young feudals, hum. Look at Lao Tzu, for so many years, where have you worshiped any land god, and you still have soaring, prosperous and rich? ”

Zhang Chenghu also said with a smile: "That's right." We just signed a contract with the township, this land is ours from now on, we want to shovel it, if you don't accept it, go to the lawsuit, see if anyone pays attention to you, hehe. ”

At this time, a person suddenly rushed from the back of the truck and ran to the Zhang brothers.

The man glanced at the villagers in front of him, lowered his voice and said, "Boss, it's not good, although we signed a contract with the township, but the families next to the land temple refused to sign it, and they all stopped in front of the forklift and refused to let the construction start." ”

Zhang Chenglong's face sank.

At this time, an old man walked out of the back of the truck with the help of several juniors.

The man who reported the news glanced at the old man and whispered, "Boss, among those families, this old man is the one who takes the lead!" ”

Zhang Chenglong glanced at the old man, and his face became even more gloomy. "Uncle San, why are you? It stands to reason that you are also our Zhang family, and now that our Zhang family has to do something, why don't you help us, but turn to those outsiders? ”

It turned out that this old man turned out to be an uncle of Zhang Chenglong.

The old man glanced at Zhang Chenglong, and said angrily: "Don't call me Third Uncle, our Zhang family, there are no unscrupulous descendants of you!" I'll tell you honestly, today we won't let you demolish the land temple, not for anything else, we just don't want your dirty hands to pollute such a good land again! ”

He grabbed a handful of dirt in his hand and looked up into the distance with a sad expression. "This is a handful of soil I grabbed from your farmland, and asked my grandson to send it to the provincial capital for testing, and the pesticide residues in the soil exceeded the standard by thousands of times! If you make money like this, you are not afraid of God's curse!? ”

Zhang Chenghu was furious: "Zhang Aiguo, we respect you for being old and call you a third uncle, but I didn't expect you to kick your nose in the face if you don't repair it?" Let me ask you, you are full of food and support, our land, what are you doing with it for no reason!? ”

The old man looked at him, laughed with grief and indignation, and said, "My little great-grandson, just because he ate a tomato in your field, vomited and diarrhea, and rolled on the ground with stomach pain, and was sent to the hospital to save him!" Why do you think I took your soil for testing? Just to keep you from harming others! You farming methods, all you earn is the money of cutting off your children and grandchildren! The land of the Land Temple, even if we die, we can't give it to you! ”

So saying, the old man threw the dirt off his hand, and then lay down under the wheel of the big truck.

", you!"

Zhang Chenghu and Zhang Chenglong were so angry that their faces were flushed. They have always been arrogant, they say everything they do, and no one dares to oppose them like this.

Meeting this old man today really made them lose face.

"Zhang Aiguo, you old fool, get up for me! You, believe it or not, I let the driver press over you! Zhang Chenglong pointed at Zhang Aiguo and scolded, his eyes becoming more and more ruthless.

Zhang Aiguo lay under the wheels with his eyes closed, motionless.
