Fifteen miles north of Heifengling is the border line of Song Liao, there are two adjacent villages on both sides of this borderline, the village on the side of the Great Song Dynasty is called Liulin Village, there are about more than 300 households, more than 2,000 people, most of the villagers are surnamed Li; On the side of Daliao, the village is Fengshutun, there are about 200 households, more than 1,000 people, most of the villagers are surnamed Zhang, all of them are Han.

These two villages have existed since the Sui Dynasty, the two villages are only one mile apart, Bi because of the perennial intermarriage, so that many of the villagers on both sides of the two villages are related to each other, so they usually communicate frequently, and the relationship between the two villages is still good since ancient times.

However, there are still some contradictions between the two sides, which involves a problem left over from the history of the two villages, that is, land disputes.

Because the two villages are adjacent, the land is planted next to each other, so the fields of the two villages are planted next to each other, so that the fields of the two villages are "you have me, I have you", so that the dividing line is staggered, and there is no very clear boundary, that is, according to the traditional customary line of the older generation; Although there are often some opinions, they are still peaceful, and they are still harmonious on the surface.

However, in the past two years, the relationship between the two villages has begun to become tense, and since the establishment of a village soldier in Fengshu Tunli, the villagers in the tunzi have become more and more aggressive, and they have even begun to encroach on the fields of Liulin Village, and later they have brazenly beaten and driven away the villagers of Liulin Village and seized their land.

The villagers of Liulin Village also resisted, but because the Li family was not in harmony, they went their own way; Moreover, Mapleshutun relied on the support of the township soldiers of the Liao State, so the rate prevailed, so that in the past two years, Liulin Village was encroached upon by Mapleshutun 200 acres of fertile land on the north bank of the Qingshui River (a tributary of the Yishui River).

In the past few days, the Song-Liao border has been full of rumors, grass and trees, and the people surnamed Zhang in Fengshutun, under the leadership of their patriarch Zhang Guanggong, began to intensify their encroachment on the clan fields in Liulin Village, and he brazenly sent people to destroy the boundary monuments and markers of the fields in Liulin Village in broad daylight.

The villagers of Liulin Village, who were taking care of them here, immediately rushed back to the village anxiously and told the news to their patriarch Li Weitang.

At this time, after Li Weitang heard the news, he immediately summoned his clansmen to the ancestral hall to discuss, and he hurriedly came to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of the Li family is a two-entry ancestral hall: that is, the ancestral hall composed of the ancestral door and the enjoyment hall, the two sides are connected by two compartments or corridors, similar to the courtyard of a private house, and the side wing is sometimes set up with an annex house where the ancestral hall lives.

The door of the ancestral hall is very large, two meters high, one meter wide, the left door is carved with "Renjie", the right door is engraved with "Earth Spirit", and there is a long plaque on the door, with golden characters writing "Li Clan Ancestral Hall".

Walking inside, the most conspicuous thing is the two stone inscriptions on the right wall, one is engraved with the village history of Liulin Village, and the other is written with the deeds of the ancestors of the Li family who built Liulin Village.

There is a patio in the middle, which allows the ancestral hall to be ventilated and lighted, making it bright, and there are corridors leading to the main hall on both sides.

Walk through the corridor, through the stone gate, you will arrive at the main hall, the two stone pillars standing in it are very magnificent, quite imposing, four meters high, but the upper and lower ends are very delicately carved, there are many auspicious clouds swirling in it;

Coupled with the plaque engraved on the left wall with "Guangzong Yaozu", the whole hall is simple and majestic, and the hall is the meeting and discussion place of the Li family in the entire Liulin Village.

Further up you will reach the back hall, which also has a patio. There are many spiritual tablets on the patio, enshrined in the ancestors and ancestors, and below is a long offering table, on which there are sacrificial items to be offered, and the incense on the incense burner is light and smoky;

There is a pair of couplets on both sides of the card, the upper link is "long-standing", the lower link is "leafy", the banner is "open branches and scattered leaves", the couplet is written in large golden characters, the penmanship is strong and powerful, very spirited!

After a while, I saw that the old and young masters of the whole village were all dispatched, and they arrived after a while, and the scene was a little noisy, and many people were talking about each other.

Everyone seems to be aware of what this is about – how to solve the land problem in Mapletree Tun, but no one has any hope.

The discussion was actually preceded by the fact that it had already entered the topic. Everyone is gossiping, talking about Mapletree Tun's occupation of fertile land; Some of the bitter masters who have lost their land are all sad and sad, like frosted eggplants.

At this time, Li Weitang coughed, cleared his throat and said: "This time I came to everyone, and everyone probably guessed the content of this meeting, but I want to say something more serious here, that is, Zhang Guanggong, the patriarch of Fengshutun, began to occupy the clan industry field in our village today, listening to Li Amao, who was guarding the scene, came to report that Zhang Guanggong is leading people to destroy the boundary pillars and marking stones, and it will be too late to stop it. ”

Then a powerful young man stood up and said, "Shall we wait to die? Can't you beat them out? We can't ask these people surnamed Zhang to "kick their noses in the face", we can't bear it anymore."

Many immediately agreed with the young man.

At this time, there were also voices of opposition, and I saw an old man with white hair standing up and saying: "What Li Dahu said is inappropriate, because Mapleshutun has the support of the Liao army, and once we fight with the people of Mapleshutun, these Liao troops will definitely return to protect the villagers of Fengshutun and will definitely attack us, and our people will definitely suffer heavy casualties at that time." ”

The young man named Li Dahu retorted at this time: "What the third master said sounds very reasonable, but there is a limit to tolerance, how much land can we give up to satisfy Fengshutun's appetite?!" Besides, those soldiers in Liao are not regular troops, they are just township soldiers to maintain law and order, and they are only about a hundred people. They dared to protect the people of Mapleshutun, and we even cleaned them up. ”

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in Wenshi Mountain stood up and said, "I, Li Wenting, want to say a few words, can I?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Weitang hurriedly asked him to speak, looking very respectful, and the villagers below were also very respectful to him, it turned out that he was the only one in Liulin Village, and he was now guarding filial piety for his dead father.

I saw Li Wenting say: "It's tolerable, it's unbearable." "The children of my Song and Han families stand up for "filial piety", and the clan industry is inherited by the ancestors, which is coveted and seized by outsiders, but they can't protect each other, which is unfilial piety. Otherwise, we can only let the people of Fengshutun get Longwangshu and gain an inch, no matter how much we endure it, we can't satisfy their greed. ”

After he finished speaking, he asked, "Old and young masters, do you think I'm right?" Should we take back the land that belongs to us? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the blood of the Li clan people below boiling and the crowd was angry, and they were like being beaten with chicken blood;

Everyone got up and shouted: "Get rid of Zhang Guanggong, the dog thief, protect my clan's land, and recapture the occupied fertile land." ”

Even the usually cautious eldest lady said magnificently: "Just do it!" Can't let people bully like this! As long as we can keep the clan industry, we are worthy of our ancestors and ancestors, and we are not afraid of any risks! U-turn is just a big scar at the mouth of the bowl, it's really no king's way! ”

Li Weitang smiled with satisfaction. He waited for the voices of the crowd to calm down, and said, "I'm thinking about doing this, too!" You've got me in one piece! If everyone agrees, then let's just do it right away!

The clansmen below have already unified their opinions and no longer hesitate, and at this time, everyone is gearing up and eager to try.

After all, these villagers have lived on the border for a long time, and they are used to seeing wars and chaos, and they are also quite fierce.

Li Weitang was so satisfied with this atmosphere, in the past two years in Liulin Village under his auspices, but he was forced by Mapletree Tun step by step, losing his land and land, and his prestige has also deteriorated.

At this time, he felt that he had firmly grasped the control of the Li family in Liulin Village at this time.

He said excitedly: "If you don't have any opinions, let's arrange it quickly and act immediately!" ”

In less than an hour, the men, women and children of Liulin Village were mobilized. In fact, there is no need to mobilize at all, many people have wanted to do this for a long time.

All the clansmen showed an astonishing spirit of sacrifice in order to regain the clan's land. No one is lazy and flinching, but everyone is vying to be the first.

All the people are united in order to maintain and restore the glory of the family, after all, the lips are cold, the rabbit is dead, and the fox is sad;

At such times, everyone felt that all the people in the clan were kind and lovely, and even some of the people who had been awkward in the past were now affectionate and fought side by side like brothers......

At this time, Liulin Village suddenly became chaotic like a barracks. Chickens and dogs jumped, people were in a hurry, and on the criss-crossing roads in the village, groups of clansmen began to gather, each holding a farm tool.

Over there, there were also nearly 100 juniors, all with round waists and thick shoulders, armed with knives, guns, bows and arrows, all gearing up, like the "forward team" on the battlefield, they were ready to attack under the leadership of Li Dahu.

At this moment, in the courtyard in front of the ancestral hall, Li Weitang issued an order to "march" to the Li family's Yetian. I saw that the nearly 100 descendants were like calves, screaming and rushing towards the destination.

At this time, the patriarch of the Zhang clan of Fengshutun was pinching his waist, looking arrogant and arrogant, he was in a surging mood now, and he now had a bigger plan in his heart, that is, to encroach on nearly 1,000 acres of land in Liulin Village on the north bank of the Qingshui River.

At this time, a member of the Zhang family rushed over, and heard him say: "Patriarch, there is movement in Liulin Village, and the momentum is very loud, as if a large group of people are rushing towards us." ”

Then another descendant of the Zhang family also ran over and said: "Uncle Gong, I saw a large number of people from Liulin Village rushing over on Gaoling, and there is a large area of black pressure, I am afraid there are hundreds of people." ”

He leaned over again and said worriedly: "Uncle Gong, why don't we send someone to inform Lang Dutou, just in case the people from Liulin Village go crazy, they will definitely put you in a place of unforethought." ”

Zhang Guanggong said at this time: "It's okay, the people of Liulin Village, every time we encroached on their fertile land in the past two years, we were like a turtle with a shrunken head, and we didn't even dare to let out a fart, and this time is no exception, Huzi, you can rest assured, you better hurry up and do your job." ”

The descendant named Huzi saw that he did not listen to persuasion, so he left in a huff, with a worried face.

At this time, the Li clan people in Liulin Village had already arrived at their clan field, and they saw that most of the boundary pillars in the clan field had been smashed, and the marking stones had also been dug up and thrown all over the ground.

At this time, Li Weitang shouted forward: "Okay, you Zhang Guanggong, you dare to do such a dirty thing that encroaches on my Li family's business, it is simply incorruptible and shameful, pigs and dogs are not as good, in vain as a son of man, it is tolerable, which is unbearable; You hurry up and restore the boundary stake to its original state for me, otherwise you will have a good look, and then the new account and the old account will be counted together. ”

At this time, Zhang Guanggong was suddenly furious, he couldn't accept Li Weitang's tough warning for a while, thinking that he had eaten the gall of an ambitious leopard.

At this time, he pointed at Li Weitang and shouted angrily: "Li Weitang, you old thing, you don't know whether you are dead or alive, dare to teach you Grandpa Zhang a lesson, the way in this world is to have a fist to say that you live, your Li family's strength is not better than my Zhang family, you deserve to be bullied, if you know each other, you should give Liangtian to my Zhang family." I happen to be here to tell you that the thousand acres of fertile land on the north bank of the Qingshui River of your Li family will belong to my Zhang family in the future. ”

His words all the way, suddenly provoked a burst of angry scolding from the Li family in Liulin Village, at this time, I saw a sturdy descendant suddenly burst out of the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Zhang Guanggong's eyes, and saw him grab Zhang Guanggong's collar and wave his hand to his face, which only hit him with blood from his nose and mouth, and screamed again and again.

At this time, the Zhang family who was present hurriedly rushed forward to rescue, and saw that the Li family was not to be outdone, and rushed forward one after another, and the two sides immediately fought together.

I saw that the scene was chaotic, with sticks dancing wildly, knives and guns hitting indiscriminately, screaming again and again, and flesh and blood flying; There were casualties on both sides, especially the people in Mapleshutun who were at a disadvantage because of their lack of strength and strength, and they were immediately beaten and scurried with heavy casualties.
