Chapter 248: Old Man Xu's tongue fights against the crowd
When it comes to fighting, Old Man Xu is an expert.
This kind of thing, whether it is before the beating or during the beating, if you want to quickly win the upper hand, you must be ruthless.
And once you are ruthless, it is impossible not to kill anyone.
But in such a situation, Old Man Xu has no reason to kill him.
There is a drought and a fight for water, and everyone is trying to survive.
But in order to fight for water, he took his life on the line, but he put the cart before the horse.
A fight 20 years ago caused wounds that both villages will never erase or forget.
"Brother Xu!"
Guan Laoqi looked at Old Man Xu with pleading in his eyes.
Old Man Xu looked at Guan Laoqi, who was looking at him with pleading eyes, sighed faintly, reached out and pressed the other party's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Old Seven, I know you feel uncomfortable. ”
"But if I make a move today, how many people will die on the other side, have you thought about it?"
"They are also fathers, husbands, and sons."
"Whoever dies, no family is complete!"
"Also, if the person on the other side goes crazy, I can't stop everyone alone, and if the two sides fight, how many people will die, have you thought about it?"
For the villagers, there may still be in-laws between the villages.
"I'm upset!"
Thinking that his father was lame and depressed because of the fight in Shangxi Village, Guan Laoqi couldn't calm down.
"Brother, what are you waiting for?"
"It's time to avenge our father!"
Guan Laojiu suddenly jumped out and raised his arms and shouted, "It's a master, follow me!" ”
"Stop!"
Seeing that the crowd was mobilized by Guan Laojiu, Old Man Xu directly came with a thunderous roar and shouted, and the crowd that was about to rush up was stopped.
The next moment, Old Man Xu stepped forward, walked out of the crowd alone, and only faced the villagers of Shangxi Village and several other villages.
"Who's the talker, come out and talk!"
In this situation, it is bound to be a lose-lose situation.
As for retreating, the people of Lingshui Village and Yinghe Village are definitely not reconciled.
So, there is only one way left, and that is to talk.
Old man Xu came forward, and he still has some credibility.
After all, Old Man Xu is a seven-rank filial piety who was awarded by the emperor, although he has no real power, but the grade of the seventh grade is the same level as the county master.
"Brother Xu!"
A person walked out of the crowd opposite, who was as old as Old Man Xu, with bronzed skin and a strong body, and he was a very capable type at first glance.
"It's you!"
Old Man Xu looked at the person who stood up, and he really didn't know what to say.
Lin Zhen Mountain.
It can be regarded as a friendship with Mr. Xu, which is still for the prey in the mountains. It's just that compared with Niu Dali, Lin Zhenshan obviously has more heart.
"Brother Xu, it's not that you don't give face to your younger brother, it's just that the people of Shangxi Village also want to live."
"It's getting hotter and hotter, and it's not raining all the time. The game in the mountains has decreased a lot since the beginning of spring. ”
"Without water, we people in the village would not be able to survive."
As the village leader of Shangxi Village, Lin Zhenshan must also be considered by the villagers. What's more, several villages upstream of them have also found him, and they are willing to work with them in Shangxi Village to guard the cut of the Taohua River.
"Yes, the Peach Blossom River is cut off, and you are all alive, so who will solve the problem of water needs in these villages below the Peach Blossom River?"
"Isn't it true that the people in the downstream village deserve to die?"
"Come, answer me!"
"I ......"
Lin Zhenshan was stunned, this question could not be answered.
Human nature is selfish.
He really wanted to say that he didn't care if the people in the downstream village were damned.
Kelin Zhenshan knew that he couldn't say this.
He knew that Old Man Xu had dealt with him.
Old Man Xu's methods, he has seen it with his own eyes, and he is extremely respected in his heart. Similarly, he is also very afraid that Old Man Xu will be mad, because he may really die.
"And you!"
Old Man Xu raised his hand and pointed at the villagers standing behind Lin Zhenshan opposite.
"Do you think it's none of your business whether the people in the village below die or not?"
"Yes!"
"That's right!"
"Whether the people in the village below die or not is none of your business!"
"But think about it, in order to live, you can cut off the Peach Blossom River. So, what can those of us who live in the village below do in order to live? ”
"You have a father and mother, a wife and children, and the people below!"
"It's not raining, it's a natural disaster!"
"Under the natural disaster, we should have worked together to tide over the difficulties, but you intercepted the Peach Blossom River!"
"We want to live!"
Old Man Xu's hand pulled behind him, "Here, there are only people from Lingshui Village and Yinghe Village. ”
"In the Jingkou Village, Quarry Village, Shiqiao Village, Baniu Village below...... Just because they don't come now doesn't mean they won't come in the future! ”
"Twenty years ago, it was our Linshui Village that fought with you in Shangxi Village!"
"How many people died and how many people were injured in that one, from Shangxi Village, think for yourself!"
Old Man Xu paused, looked at the crowd that had begun to whisper on the other side, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"It's useless to talk too much, the key is that it's going to rain!"
"But now, it's not raining, so what should I do?"
As soon as Old Man Xu said this, someone on the other side immediately picked up.
"yes, it's not raining, what should I do? We can't live anymore, what can we do? ”
"What to do?"
Old Man Xu snorted, "Of course it's digging a well!" ”
"There's water underground!"
"The water of the Peach Blossom River has been flowing for so many years, how much water has seeped into the ground? Let's dig wells! ”
Old Man Xu had a flash of inspiration and thought of a solution.
"It's a little late to dig the well, but it's not too late to save your life!"
"This Peach Blossom River, if you are willing to cut it off, then cut it off!"
"Our Lingshui Village is no longer in harmony!"
"The villages downstream have come up, but we want to see how many lives you are willing to fill in!"
"And you, Lin Zhenshan, the matter of cutting off the Peach Blossom River has reached the ears of the county master, can you leaders please me?"
After Old Man Xu finished speaking, he stopped talking, turned around and greeted the old and young masters of Lingshui Village.
"Let's go, let's go back and dig the well!"
"Dig out the water one day earlier, let's have a good life one day earlier!"
"Yes, yes, dig a well, dig a well!"
Xu Lao Er immediately shouted in the crowd, and he admired his father's behavior just now.
Uh, the fly in the ointment, the group of people on the other side, forget it, let's count it as a group of heroes!
"Go back!"
Guan Laoqi also thought a lot when Old Man Xu came forward to negotiate with the other side.
As Mr. Xu said, if there is a real fight, how many families will cry?
It's just that people are doing it, the sky is watching, and the things that lose conscience are done, and sooner or later the heavens will take it away.
