Chapter 59: The Cowherd Looking for Water
Zhao Liang opened his eyes in a daze, only to feel that his mind was sinking for a while. Holy, I'm wearing it again? This Nima is too fast! Just now he sat in the crossing machine, and just after reading the information of the crossing carrier, he lost consciousness in the blink of an eye. When I woke up again, I was in a foreign land.
Suddenly, a strong smell of cow dung pierced his nose, and he choked with excitement, and instantly sobered up a lot. yes, I think about it now! Zhao Liang gradually gathered his consciousness and seriously recalled: According to the data, the target of the carrier was a young man in the suburbs of Xianyang, whose parents were both dead, and he made a living by herding cattle for people. The name is ...... It's called "Cowherd".
Am me Nima? Cowboy?!
Zhao Liang shook his head vigorously and comforted himself: "Alas, the cowherd is the cowherd, it's better than becoming a woman." He supported his body with his arms, slowly got up from a pile of cow dung, and looked aroundβyes, this is the cowshed.
He didn't know why the brain-burning computer had set such an identity for him, he didn't know why the cowherd wanted someone to be in a pile of cow dung, and he didn't know how to find the missing Agent X next.
But he knew that if he didn't run now, he would probably die.
A group of crop men, holding wooden sticks and sickles, are rushing towards them with great momentum!
"He's here!" "Catch him, don't let the Cowherd run!" "Shoot to death, hold and kill!"
I'll go, what's going on! Zhao Liang didn't say a word, turned around and ran. He climbed over walls and ditches all the way, walked through houses and courtyards, and brought the tactical cross-country he learned in the police university to the fullest, mixed with many professional parkour techniques. But the more I ran, the more I felt that it was inappropriate, because Zhao Liang found out: This Nima is the whole village encircling and suppressing me!
Hundreds of men, women, and children set out together, like pigs in the alley, surrounding Zhao Liang, no matter how he jumped up and down, he could never get out of danger.
Zhao Liang shouted as he ran: "Why are you arresting me, ahhh......h
"Don't you know what you did yourself!" "Don't talk nonsense with him, just kill him!"
In desperation, Zhao Liang had no choice but to save his life first. He spotted a gap on the left, and as long as he rushed over, he could hide in a large wood, so he hurriedly turned around and accelerated. Who knows, the villagers had already taken precautions, and arranged an ambush in advance in that direction, just waiting for Zhao Liang to break through, and was immediately knocked to the ground by seven or eight big men, tied up solidly.
Many people were about to serve Zhao Liang on the spot, but fortunately, an old man stopped him in time: "Wait!" Ladies and gentlemen, my Great Qin has strict laws, and you must not lynch and kill! Let's take him to the village chief, after all, the matter is in his house, whether it is sent to the official or dealt with according to the clan rules, it is up to his old man. β
The villagers all felt that what the old man said was reasonable, so they agreed one after another, hung Zhao Liang, who was tied into zongzi, on a bamboo pole and carried it away.
After a short time, people came to the door of a courtyard and shouted: "Village chief! Chief! The lewd thief Cowherd is here! Come out and send it out! β
Whore?! Zhao Liang chuckled in his heart, and an ominous premonition instantly enveloped his heart.
I only heard the courtyard door creak open from the inside, and a rough voice shook people's ears: "Where is the bastard who bullied my sister, let me skin him alive!" β
Zhao Liang was shocked, and was about to open his mouth to shout for help, when another old and calm voice sounded again: "Xiao Hei, don't be reckless, give me a retreat!" β
Everyone also greeted in unison at the same time: "Hello village chief." β
Zhao Liang twisted his head vigorously, and saw an old man in his fifties through the gap in the crowd, walking steadily to the front, and said to himself: "Cowherd, you have done such an evil thing, what else is there to say?" β
"It's not...... This one...... Forehead...... I, I, can you tell me what I did? Zhao Liang didn't know where to start for a while, so he could only struggle to ask the other party about the reason.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't ask, as soon as he asks, it immediately arouses the anger of the villagers, and everyone angrily reprimands Zhao Liang. Especially the strong man named Xiao Hei before, who was about to pick up the firewood knife to see him.
The village chief raised his hand to stop the surrounding people, and said to Zhao Liang in a deep voice: "What? Are you still going to pay for it? β
Zhao Liang shook his head: "No, no, no, it's not a debt, it's definitely not a debt." Village Chief, I just want to die to understand, so please break it down for me. β
The village chief was slightly stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and sighed, and ordered everyone: "Untie him first, let him go into the courtyard to talk, folks, please come too." As he spoke, he sighed again and walked into the courtyard with his head bowed.
The villagers looked at each other at first, and when someone said "listen to the village chief", everyone stepped forward to untie Zhao Liang and pushed and shoved into the village chief's courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, someone scolded Zhao Liang: "Cowherd, kneel!" β
Zhao Liang thought to himself: Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, let us kneel, let's kneel quickly. But unexpectedly, the village chief, who was sitting in front of the hall, suddenly waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Wait." The old man is just the head of a village, and he doesn't have an official name, so you don't have to kneel to me according to the law. Moreover, the Cowherd is a foreigner, not in the clan, and there is no need to treat me with the courtesy of the younger generation. β
He paused and continued: "Since you want me to break it down for you, it's okay, while the neighbors are here, I'm afraid that there are still many people who don't know the whole story, so I'll talk about it." β
"Everyone knows that since the beginning of spring this year, we have encountered a drought here. Five of the six wells in the village have been dried, and the soil can already be seen in the water canals in the fields. A few days ago, I really couldn't help it, so I went to Sifang Mountain to ask the magicians, and they said that it was because of the drought in the village. It was at that time that my daughter, Lingxiu, suddenly fainted and did not wake up for several days. After the warlock from Sifang Mountain came to see it, he told me that it was a drought attached to Lingxiu, and if he wanted to solve the drought, he had to send his daughter over to worship the sky. β
The people around obviously knew about this, and their faces showed unbearable looks.
The village chief sighed, and continued: "I hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to send my daughter to Sifang Mountain. If you can really get rid of the drought and relieve the life and death suffering of the villagers, it is worth it. So I planned to send Lingxiu away on the first day of the next month, that is, the day after tomorrow, but I never expected that this cowherd would take the lead! The warlocks said that Lingxiu is the body of a virgin, the body of the yin, so he can keep the drought in the body, so that he can cast a spell in the Sifang Mountain, and get rid of the girl and the drought together with the body. Alas, I didn't think about it, last night the Cowherd sneaked into Lingxiu's room and ...... her Took away her chastity! β
Regarding the village chief's remarks, Zhao Liang, who was standing next to him, was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: How did you get a brain-burning computer, can this kind of soul penetration carrier with big bugs be used? It's so sloppy! The Cowherd secretly slept with someone else's girl last night, and today you let me get on him, isn't this a clear play with me?
But at this time, it is not a stall to complain, he has to quickly find a way to save himself. So, Zhao Liang took a few deep breaths and asked stubbornly, "Huh...... Village Chief, you said I ...... I...... What's wrong with Lingxiu, is there any real evidence? β
The village chief stared at Zhao Liang for a long time like a big fool, and suddenly said angrily: "Didn't you make a noise in my yard today when it was not dawn, saying that you slept with Lingxiu?" By the time my son and I rushed out, you were gone! β
Zhao Liang was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What about Lingxiu?" What did she say? β
"My daughter has been unconscious, don't you know?" The village chief said: "She was lying on the bed in disheveled clothes, and her mattress was still stained with a pool of blood. Cowherd, I don't care about you bullying my daughter, do you know, this is equivalent to ruining the life of the whole village! β
Looking at the angry eyes of the villagers around him, Zhao Liang knew that if he wanted to survive now, he could only quickly solve the biggest problem in front of him. He forced himself to calm down and silently activated the microcomputing processor.
After a few snaps of his fingers, Zhao Liang suddenly asked, "Village Chief, have we had an earthquake here before?" β
"Are you stupid?" A villager scolded: "When the earthquake occurred in the spring, you shouted the most fiercely in the whole village, and you were scared like a pig!" β
"It's just that the earthquake wasn't that big, but your movement scared our children into tears." Another villager was also furious.
Zhao Liang nodded, and there was a slight point in his heart. He asked tentatively, "What if...... I mean, if I could solve the drought and find the water source, we would be able to settle this matter today, right? β
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know for a moment whether this cowherd was crazy, or full of nonsense to save his life?
The village chief was stunned for a moment at first, and then he said aloud: "Cowherd, let me tell you, if you can really find water for everyone and save the lives of the whole village, I will not only not investigate what happened last night, but also marry Lingxiu Xu to you as a daughter-in-law!" β
Zhao Liang had a rope loop around his neck, and the other end of the rope was held in Xiao Hei's hand, walking around the village and fields like walking a dog. And a large number of villagers followed behind them, probing their brains to watch the excitement.
The reason why he was tied with a rope was because everyone was afraid that the cowherd would run away for him without paying attention to the excuse of looking for water everywhere. But in order to facilitate his movement, he couldn't tie his hands, so he had to make this decision. To be honest, the rough hemp rope strangled the neck felt very uncomfortable, but at this time, Zhao Liang didn't care about this at all, and looked around with all his attention.
According to the microprocessor, the reason why the village suddenly ran out of water is most likely due to a previous earthquake that changed the location of the groundwater. Therefore, as long as you find a new water vein, you can relieve the drought and save your own life.
"Alright, let's dig down this place." Zhao Liang wiped the sweat from his head and gave an order.
"I beg you, die obediently, stop, okay?" A villager carrying a shovel said dissatisfiedly: "This is the fourth pit, you don't have to dig it?" β
Zhao Liang looked at the village chief not far behind him, and the village chief waved his hand helplessly: "Dig, dig." β
Seeing that the village chief had spoken, everyone didn't want to say anything, so they stepped forward one after another and began to dig hard at the place where Zhao Liang pointed out. Xiao Hei walked slowly to Zhao Liang's side, and hummed menacingly: "I can tell you, if this is not a show, you will wait to eat me a firewood knife!" β
Zhao Liang swallowed his saliva and wiped the sweat on his face again: "This guarantee is there, there must be." β
It didn't take much effort, and six or seven strong men dug a big pit more than two people deep, but there was no water at all. Everyone gradually turned from staring at the pit to staring at him, their eyes full of anger.
Seeing that the few people below had stopped what they were doing, Zhao Liang stammered and said, "Hehe...... It's fast, hehe, it's going to be faster. β
"Don't dig it!" Xiao Hei beside him suddenly shouted: "Take this bastard back and light the sky lantern!" Avenge my sister! β
"No, no, no, no, this is not going to work!" Zhao Liang cried: "Give me a chance, I'll go down and dig!" β
Xiao Hei was furious, and kicked Zhao Liang into the pit with a single kick.
With a bang, Zhang Liang fell heavily to the bottom of the pit, slumped on the ground, and a villager next to him pointed at him and smiled: "Hey, come and see Hey, the cowherd is scared to pee!" β
"It's not...... ...... pee" Zhao Liang moaned angrily: "It's water, find it...... The water is ......."
As he spoke, a column of water suddenly appeared from under Zhao Liang's body, soaring into the sky.
