In anticipation, the belated half-moon holiday has finally arrived. The holiday system in Jishui Town is not a two-day holiday system, but a half-month vacation of one day every half month, two days of monthly leave every month, and a three-day holiday in one month.

Of course, whether it is a half-month holiday or a monthly holiday, it must be taken on Saturday and Sunday. If the time is up and it doesn't happen to be Saturday or Sunday, it will have to be postponed. No, the half-month holiday has been postponed to September 17th, which happens to be a Sunday.

Back at the farm, Jiang Qiu said directly to his father: "Dad, bring the van and I'll drive it." ”

"What? Are you going to drive? No kidding! When will you drive? Jiang Chengwang was taken aback by Jiang Qiu's request.

"Seeing that you have been open for so long, you have already watched it. If you don't believe me, you'll find out if you let me try! Anyway, the farm is level, and the road is wide, so nothing will happen. Jiang Qiu said.

"That's fine for you to practice, but don't mess around. Although there are no traffic police in the countryside, driving is not a joke, you have to think about your own safety. You have to think about me and your mother. Jiang Chengwang said.

"I got it! Can you just give me the key and try it? Don't worry, you just watch from the sidelines. Jiang Qiu said.

"Hmm. It's also time to practice driving, and when you are 18 years old, you will go directly to the certification. Jiang Chengwang nodded and said.

Jiang Qiu got the key to the van, Jiang Chengwang sat in the passenger seat, and was about to explain to Jiang Qiu how to start the fire, but saw that Jiang Qiu started the car very well, and then drove the car out of the garage very smoothly.

"Okay! Do you really know how to drive? I've never seen you practice! Is it really just a matter of looking? Jiang Chengwang said.

"That is, and it doesn't look at whose son I am? It's just genius, no way! Jiang Qiu said with a smile, while boasting about himself, he also praised his own Lao Tzu, which made Jiang Chengwang laugh vigorously. The son is indeed a genius, and it can only be explained by genius. To be able to give birth to such a genius son, how can a father not be happy?

Jiang Qiu drove around the farm a few times, and Jiang Chengwang was relieved to find that his son seemed to be more calm and skilled in driving than himself.

"It seems that my worries are unnecessary, you can drive this car. But be careful not to cross the Sanshui Ridge, otherwise it will be a trouble to be caught by the traffic police. Jiang Chengwang said.

"Don't worry! I drove to Yangjialing, and when I saw my cousin, I asked him to drive to the county seat. Jiang Qiu said.

"Hmm. So I'm relieved. Jiang Chengwang said.

Jiang Qiu said: "That's for sure, I'm not stupid!" Do you know that there are traffic police and you have to send them over to be arrested? ”

Yangjialing is located in the Sanshuiling mountainous area, which belongs to the original Jieqiao Township, and is located on the township road from Jishui Wei to Jieqiao Wei. Unlike the county town road leading to the catchment polder, this township road from the catchment to the boundary bridge is not a cement road, but a dirt road paved with only some cinders.

Now the road has not been repaired for many years, the paved cinders have long been crushed into the mud by the car, and there are still many large potholes on the road. If it's no less than okay, it's just a little more dusty. If it rains, it tastes so sour.

But fortunately, Jiang Qiu's skills are excellent, and his body bones are even more excellent, so even if the car is about to fall apart, Jiang Qiu is not uncomfortable. The distance from Jishui Wei to Jieqiao Wei is about the same as that from Jishui Wei to the county seat, but the distance from Jishui Wei to Yangjialing is only half of the distance.

Although the road is not easy to walk, but the distance is short, there are few cars, and there are few people, and the speed is not slow if the technology is good, it only takes about 20 minutes, Jiang Qiu rushed to Yangjialing and parked the car at the door of his aunt's house.

"Auntie, great uncle! At home? As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Qiu shouted.

Hearing that there was no response, he called out again: "Big cousin! At home? ”

The door to the house was open, but the door was locked. Probably not at home, Jiang Qiu went out again to find a neighbor with the door open and asked.

"Uncle, do you know where my aunt and uncle have gone?"

The neighbor's uncle looked at Jiang Qiu for a moment before saying, "Huh...... Are you so-jin's nephew? It's called Qiu Qiu Tsai! ”

Qiu Qiu Tsai...... Hearing this nickname, Jiang Qiu's face twitched, but he still pretended to smile and responded, "Yes, yes!" "No way, that's what his aunt called her. When it comes to outsiders, it is "Qiuqiu in my house", and others will naturally call him that.

"Your eldest cousin was beaten in Maozai, and now your aunt and uncle and the brothers in the family at home have rushed over! Can you find the? I'll take you! "Uncle of the neighbor's house.

"What? My big cousin was beaten? How long has it been? Please uncle lead the way, I have a car, can I go there? Jiang Qiu said in surprise, he didn't expect to run into such a thing as soon as he came.

"Where to go there is a board road! Motorcycles and small dump trucks can go up, what kind of car are you? "Uncle of the neighbor's house.

"If the small dump truck can go up, then it's no problem. Come with me, Uncle! Jiang Qiu nodded and said, the so-called dump truck is a truck, no matter how small the small truck is, it is larger than the van, and the small truck can get on, and the van is no problem.

When he came to the car, the neighbor's uncle couldn't help but praise: "The little poster's family is good!" I even know how to drive! ”

Jiang Qiu drove the car, and the neighbor's uncle showed the way in the passenger seat, and came to Maozai Tsui a few minutes later. Tsui is used in the name of the place, describing the terrain like a mouth, this cat boy is a large valley surrounded by three large rock mountains.

From a distance, Jiang Qiu saw that the valley was full of people. After parking, Jiang Qiu ran directly over. With sharp eyes, he has already seen his eldest cousin who is supported by his aunt.

The eldest cousin Yang Yuhang's forehead and face were covered with blood, and he didn't know where his head was broken. The body is even more blue and purple, and there are traces of steel pipe injuries on his arms.

On my cousin's side, more than a dozen young men, all with wooden sticks, steel pipes, hoes, long sickles, and other guys in their hands, confronted the young men on the other side.

"it! You Zichangling dare to run to our Yangjialing to beat people, do you want to provoke a fight! The land-based artillery in our public hall has not been fired for a long time, have you forgotten the pain? A domineering man, holding a pig-killing knife in his hand, pointed at the pair of young men and shouted.

This domineering man, Jiang Qiu recognized. is the uncle in the eldest cousin's family, who kills pigs as a profession and is a rare macho man in the village. In the 80s, he dug out a land cannon from the ground, which the people in Yangjialing Village called a land-based cannon. Yangjialing Village is located in a mountainous area, there is no river flowing through it, and it lives on mountain springs and streams, which is the case in the entire Jieqiao Township. Therefore, the fighting caused by the "water competition" on this side of the boundary bridge is far more violent than that of water collection.

After the abolition of the collective in the 80s, the level of fighting in Jieqiao quickly returned to the level of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and even surpassed. What kind of birds, ** and the like are pediatrics, and the artillery of the Republic of China dug up by Yang Jialing has come in handy, and the scene is really called a large-scale, comparable to the national war of the Warring States Period in Japan.

Of course, this is already history. After entering the 90s, guns were banned, and there were not many people with birds in these years. And in the same way, due to the improvement of the living environment, there are not many incidents of water contention. And the land-based cannon is said to have been hidden in the ancestral hall, which is the "public hall" in the uncle's mouth, and has escaped confiscation.

These "glorious" histories, when Jiang Qiu was a child, he listened to two tables blowing water. They Jieqiao people are very contemptuous of the level of fighting for water.

However, Jiang Qiu had only heard of it before, and had never seen it. I've seen it today!

That's not good! Lawlessness is rife in the countryside, the government is loosely organized, and there are almost no institutions of violence. To survive at the end of this royal law is to rely on the worldly inertia of 2,000 years. It's too primitive, not like what a modern country should have. Be sure to change! Change this environment, so that these incompatible fights will disappear in the long river of history!

But before you have the strength to change, you still have to fight a game first! Jiang Qiu clenched his fists and was already eager to try. He only asked, "Is it the cousin they beated?" After seeing his aunt and uncle nodding, Jiang Qiu directly grabbed a steel pipe and rushed forward, everyone was caught off guard and stunned at the same time. Aunt Jiang Xiuzhen wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
