Chapter 7: The Void Against the Sea (2) Saving lives and kindness are promised with oneself
"Still sleeping, aren't you curious, let's go and have a look. After a moment's pause, the little blind man teased.
"I'm not interested, other people's affairs, how can I take care of an outsider who doesn't know anything. Lin Chen angrily glanced at the little blind man in his heart.
"Oops, oops, I'll take a look. With that, the little blind man appeared and floated outside, and soon floated back with a sigh on his face, "That little girl like a flower in the dream family is going to marry an old man who is nearly half a hundred years old, pitiful." Yo, I brought so many people, are you here to rob people, oops, oops, miserable, this crying pear blossoms bring rain. ”
Lin Chen couldn't stay any longer, how could he say that Dream Whispering was also his life-saving benefactor, he was still carried out of the mountain, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, but he could imagine that after being washed by such a big water, the mountain road must be extremely difficult to walk, and it must have been a lot of hard work for the two girls to carry him out. This kindness can't go unpaid, even if it can't help much, it can't be so humiliated. Thinking of this, Lin Chen got up to go out to take a look.
"What are you doing, in your current state, going out to deliver food?" the little blind man scoffed.
"It's weird, you're the one who let me go, and you're the one who doesn't let me go. Lin Chen glanced at the little blind man floating on the side and said disdainfully.
"You don't understand this, you have to go, but you can't go like this, you lie down and close your eyes. The little blind man pretended to be profound.
Although Lin Chen was puzzled, he still lay down and closed his eyes according to the words of the little blind man. A few seconds later, just when Lin Chen thought he had been tricked, a scene suddenly appeared in front of him, which made Lin Chen shocked, but after a closer look, he actually saw the two brothers, Meng Qianxun and Meng Qianchai.
"Awesome, you're using my sight and hearing right now. The voice of the little blind man sounded in Lin Chen's mind.
"Well, awesome, very awesome. Lin Chen was afraid that the little blind man would do anything again, so he said perfunctorily, and then seriously felt the situation at the scene.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was already very tense, two groups of people were holding guns and sticks, and Chishiro and Chihiro were behind one person, and there were already three men lying on the ground, wailing on the ground.
"Lord Wang Hai, please take care of yourself, my sister will not agree to marry you. Yume Chihiro said in a deep voice.
"This greasy man who looks like he is in his forties turns out to be a city lord, no wonder he is so horizontal. Looking behind the two of them again, Lin Chen sighed, "Isn't this a whisper, why did you change into a blue Luo skirt so quickly." No, this should be her sister, but the two look too similar. ”
Obviously, the five or six people on the opposite side should be protecting Wang Hai in Chihiro's mouth. "Dream Chihiro, I take a fancy to your sister is a blessing for your dream family, don't give face, don't give face, I'm going to take Qingwu away today. ”
"Just with these soft-footed shrimp you brought, the three of them are examples, if you don't want to be beaten, hurry up and get out. Meng Qianchai pointed to the few people lying on the ground and spoke.
Although Wang Hai was angry in his heart, the few people around him were indeed not enough to see, and the rest of the people he had gathered were delayed, and he made a plan to delay in his heart, "Hmph, do you think you are very capable of fighting, eight or nine can't beat the two of you, twenty, thirty." What's wrong with marrying me, as the lord of the city, I can approve your dream family to enjoy the highest right to water supply. ”
Dream Qianxun secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he would not have backup, and he could only hope that the little sister would find her father back quickly, but once the situation was out of control, he could only take his sister to forcibly break out. Qianchai on the side leaned towards Chihiro's side and whispered, "Why don't we take down Wang Hai first and wait for my father to come back, so that someone can be foolproof if they have it in hand." ”
"No, my father has repeatedly told me not to have more trouble with Xiaochi City, and I will delay it for now, just waiting for my father to bring someone back. ”
At that moment, both sides made up their minds to use procrastination, so a unique war of words was staged.
Wang Hai was gushing endlessly, how the water catcher was bitter, and how Qingwu lived happily after marrying into Xiaochi City. And the two brothers of the dreamer also sang and replied in harmony, how the water catcher was happy, and how Wang Hai was not a thing. But half an hour passed, and the people who were waiting on both sides still did not arrive, and the two sides seemed to be running out of words, and actually began to talk about each other.
And Lin Chen also learned directly or indirectly from their mouths the meaning of water catchers. In this world, due to the unique way of running water, water resources are very scarce everywhere, and the water in the rivers that flow to the sky is extremely bitter and salty, not only difficult to eat, but also sick after drinking. People can not survive without water, as if it is the road of endless people, from time to time in the sky will fall a large piece of water, the location of the water block is mostly a relatively remote mountain and wilderness forest, it is also strange to say, although the water that falls from the sky is still slightly bitter, but it is already able to eat, and you will not get sick if you drink it.
In this case, as long as someone goes to the mountains every day to fetch water, the water problem can always be solved, but the sky is not satisfactory, and the falling water will soon seep into the ground until it finally disappears. Thus, the profession of water catcher was born.
The water catcher looks for the place where the water falls between the mountains and forests, sets up wood and stone mechanisms, and intercepts the water when it falls into the water, and then transports the obtained water to the city to exchange water for living expenses.
Where there are people, there will be disputes, the water catcher industry has to rise, it can be regarded as a history of blood and tears, several generations of people have fought and killed, many years have passed, and now most of the various land boundaries have been divided by various water catcher forces, and the dreamer is a hunter in the southeast of Koike County in the mountains and forests. The water caught was mainly supplied to the small pond castle in the center of Koike County, and Wang Hai was the lord of this small pond castle.
Wang Hai, nicknamed Wang Bancheng, the city lord of Xiaochi City, when it comes to his family history, it can be said that it can be regarded as a history of no Ji Tailai, his parents died when he was a child, and he barely grew up with the relief of his distant relatives, the city lord's family. When Wang Hai was fifteen or sixteen years old, he went to the mountains and forests to work as a water catcher to live, and his life was quite miserable, because he couldn't stand the ordeal and went to be a beggar, until the riot that caused a sensation in Xiaochi County nineteen years ago, the city lord's family was wiped out, and he was pushed to the position of the city lord in a daze.
If it weren't for the purpose of inquiring about these contents, I'm afraid that Lin Chen would have gone back to sleep, and the dream light dance of the protagonist of the contradiction in the field had already retreated to the chair in the hall, drank water, and his eyes were full of disdain for Wang Hai.
"It's also interesting, water, hehe, as an engineering man in the 21st century, it's not a matter of minutes to turn bitter sea water into fresh water. Lin Chen made up his mind, this is the foundation for himself to establish himself here in the future.
"City Lord Wang!" At this time, a strong voice came from the door, and I saw a middle-aged man about fifty years old and a sturdy figure leading a group of people in.
"Mengjianghe, why are you back?" Wang Hai suddenly froze.
"This is my home, why can't I come back?" Meng Jianghe's eyes were like torches.
"Today I'm here to propose, I'm going to marry your family, don't worry, I'm sure Ming Media is marrying. ”
"Oh, Qingwu, would you like to marry the city lord?"
"I don't want to!"
"Did you hear it, my girl doesn't want to, I can't help it, Wang City Lord, please go back." ”
"Hmph, let's go, this matter is not over!" Wang Hai looked at Meng Jianghe and the more than ten strong men behind him, turned around and led people away.
"I don't send it. ”
Lin Chen didn't expect that this half-day farce would end so hastily, and he could make a city lord slip away with his tail between his legs, and this dream river should be a character.
"Chihiro, Chihiro will help you Uncle Yan and them load water. ”
"Yes, father. ”
"Dance, whisper, come with me. ”
At this time, a woman in white flashed out of the crowd, it was a whisper, it seemed that the whisper was not there just now, and she was looking for someone.
After watching here for a long time, people were also tired, Lin Chen's mind moved again, and he returned to himself with the little blind man.
"What? ”
"You pervert, when other people's fathers talk to their daughters, do you have to eavesdrop. ”
After speaking, Lin Chen went to sleep, his stomach was a little empty, but the host was not ready to eat, and it was difficult for him to say anything as a guest.
I got up in a daze and woke up, only to see that there were already two people standing in the room, "You are the one who my daughter rescued from the mountains in a whispering voice?
"Yes. Hello, Master of the Dream Family. Lin Chen replied.
"The head of the house? Okay, how are you going to repay it?"
Lin Chen was stunned, what kind of rhythm was this, but he still said sincerely: "The grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, but according to orders." ”
"Okay! The grace of saving lives should be repaid with me, in that case, let's marry my daughter next month. After Meng Jianghe finished speaking, he didn't wait for Lin Chen to react, so he went out of the door, leaving Lin Chen, who thought he was hallucinating, and Meng whispered with a sly gaze.
