Chapter 192: The Request of the Neighbors
The surrounding neighbors come to Lei's house every day to fetch water, and not only that, but they also have to help the Lei family fill the water tank.
Lei Zhutou was not at home, so the neighbors naturally had to share some heavy work for the two old men.
The reason why the two elderly people of the Lei family did not get sick was entirely because the water in this deep well was not polluted by harmful substances.
In addition, the Lei family is no different from other villagers.
Li Ling also found that the incidence rate of neighbors who often came to Lei's house to fetch water was far less than the average in the village.
It seems that most of the water sources in the village are polluted!
"Son, the villagers know that you have come from the capital, they all want to see you, and now they are all waiting in the front yard, you go over and see!" Li Ling and the others had been staying next to the deep well for too long, and Lei's father came over to call his son.
A few days ago, these people unanimously dealt with Father Lei, saying that it was because of them that they brought bad luck to the village, and now they have suddenly changed their sex, all of them came to the Lei family without saying anything, and they spoke very politely, which made Father Lei very surprised, but he also knew that these people must have something to ask for their son.
The old man hurriedly came to the backyard and told his son: "These people are all old folks, you should speak politely, and if they can agree to what they want, just agree!" ”。
"Yes, I got Daddy!". Lei Zhutou casually agreed, and went back to the front yard with Li Ling!
The living room was full of several families, these people and Lei Zhutou were all villagers, and the old people all watched him grow up, but they didn't know where they came from. "Lei Zhutou, we beg you, bring our grandson to the capital, as long as we leave a descendant for our family, let him do anything!" The seventh uncle and the seventh aunt squeezed out of the crowd with their grandson, who was a few years old, and pleaded with Lei Zhutou.
The son of the seventh uncle is only a few years older than Lei Zhutou, and all the people in the village know about their family's affairs.
Three years ago, a major flood broke out in the summer, and the son of the seventh uncle was swept away by the flood in order to protect the local levee, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead!
When the daughter-in-law learned the news, she left her four-year-old child on the spot and went back to her parents' house, never coming back.
The son of the seventh uncle sacrificed for the safety of the lives of the people in several villages, and now their parents begged to be in front of Lei Zhutou, which made Lei Zhutou a strong man very embarrassed.
He had already made a lot of effort to settle the villagers in the past, and now there were so many of them at once.
"Baby, I beg you, you are the most prosperous person in our village, you can give my grandson a bite to eat, for the sake of me and your father's old buddies for many years, or for the sake of the child's father for the sake of the villagers!". The seventh uncle burst into tears, their old couple is old, even if they die in the village, it is not a pity, but the grandson is only seven or eight years old, he should have a broader life instead of compensating them for the old couple waiting for death in the village.
As time went on, more and more people were infected with the disease in the village, and the death toll was constantly refreshed.
The seventh uncle and seventh aunt finally couldn't help it, and he decided to send his grandson out of the village first, and he had to leave a queen for their family no matter what! So that they can be worthy of their sons.
"Lei Zhutou will take his son away, this child is fifteen years old, as long as he can live, he can endure any hardship!"
"Take my nephew to the capital too, and let him follow you as an errand boy!" This kid is clever, and he promises not to embarrass you! ”。
"Take my daughter away, she is also fourteen years old, go to the capital to find her someone to marry, as long as she has food to live in, let her be a concubine for others!"
The attacks of strange diseases became more and more frequent, and the number of deaths increased, and the villagers panicked again, and they naturally did not want to sit still.
The villagers invariably thought of Lei Catcher. The first group of people to leave their hometowns and go to the capital have been well resettled.
The people in the room were talking nonsense, Lei Zhutou listened to the big head, the previous placement of the group of people made him spend a lot of effort, exhausted all his interpersonal relationships, and now he is powerless.
"Folks, listen to me, I invited Li Huiyuan to come over this time to help you solve the problem, as long as Li Huiyuan can find the cause of everyone's illness and solve it, you can continue to live in the village in peace!" So far, Lei Zhutou can only pin his hopes on Li Ling, as long as he can find out the source of the disease, the villagers can find a way to solve it.
"Who are you fooling, there are so many doctors in the village, and some of them are still miracle doctors in the hearts of the people, haven't they been able to find out the cause of the villagers' illness? If you want me to say, it was your Lei clan who was spurned by the heavens that caused the plague in the village."
The patriarch of the Yun clan also came, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he put the charge on the Lei family.
This old fellow was the previous lieutenant chief, and he was the richest in the village, and even the two small mines at the foot of the mountain were mined by them.
The Yun clan has been triumphant in the past few years, and has a mocking attitude towards the Lei family, after all, when the patriarch of their clan took office, the villagers were safe, and Lei Zhutou's uncle caused illness as soon as he took office!
"Folks, believe me, Li Huiyuan will definitely help everyone solve the problem, even if he can't find out the root of the problem satisfactorily, I will give you an explanation this time!" Lei Zhutou shouted loudly.
He had already decided that this was the last attempt, and if he couldn't solve the problem completely this time, he would persuade the villagers to move out, and even if the other two families disagreed, he would lead the Lei clan to leave this place and find another place to live.
"Okay, Lei Catcher, we believe you again, I hope you don't break your promise this time!". The villagers were guaranteed and gradually left the Lei family.
The patriarch of the Yun clan stomped his feet and left, didn't everyone discuss before that they would force Lei Zhutou to lead everyone into the capital to make a living?
He also secretly made up his mind at this time, as long as Li Huiyuan did not make progress in healing the villagers at that time, he would use this opportunity to take the position of lieutenant chief.
In the future, all the chiefs of this village will have the Yun clan to do it!
"Lei Zhutou, you can wait for me to go to Wednesday's house and Widow Wang's house to have a look!" Li Ling sighed and said to Lei Zhutou, it is better to try to solve the problem if the situation is urgent.
In the past two days, he has eaten steamed buns, and he doesn't even dare to drink more water, and even if the villagers don't embarrass themselves, he will be tortured to death.
