The voices Lin An heard were a few people near her who were scolding loudly, including the fat mother, and the news that she wanted to hear came from here.

As soon as she walked to the path leading to her house, she heard the voice of the fat mother's mother coming from afar.

Fat Dun's body shape is inherited from her mother, and her voice is also proportional to her body, which is deafening, "Those bastards in his grandmother's Yujia village are too bad things, their lives are lives, aren't our lives lives?" ”

"That's it! This is not to make us wait for death, everyone lives on that river, what can we do if there is no water, my family's fields are about to dry. ”

"No, if they still insist on doing this, I'll fight with them, and I'll die on the left and right anyway."

"Ouch, don't be so excited, the village chief has already gone over and told them, wait for the news first."

Lin An finally walked over, "Aunt Ding, Aunt Li, but what happened to me, I heard my family say that the river outside the village is dry?" ”

"It's Mrs. Lin." Fat Dunniang watched Lin An come over, and the panting breath finally calmed down a little, Fat Dun and Wuyu often play together and have a good relationship, and Fat Dun also has a good impression of Lin An. "No, it's almost the end, and my well can't even get water. You just know that! ”

"I just heard what happened, what about the others, it stands to reason that this river should not be so easy to dry."

"Everyone else is by the river, and some of the strong ones have gone to Yujia Village with Village Chief Li." The people on the side also carefully told Lin An, "The river outside our village is not so easy to dry, but it's not because it hasn't rained these days, the amount of water upstreams has decreased a lot, and the height of the river has also dropped a lot." You also know that several villages near the river water town are used together, and this amount of water is small, and many fields upstream cannot be taken care of, so Yujia Village joined forces with several villages upstream to build an earthen dam on the river outside the village next to their village, to block the water for their use only. ”

"Those people are simply not things, just thinking about the lack of water upstream of them, and don't want to think about what we will do with these villages downstream, they go up to the earth dam to block the river like this, and the water in our downstream will not bottom out, this is good, they have water, and the vegetables in our fields are almost dry."

As he said these words, several people began to curse again.

Lin An finally understood, no wonder the water in the river dried up so quickly.

What she had been worried about still happened, although it was obviously not so terrible compared to the places that suffered from the great drought in her previous life, but it was also impossible to escape, once the signs of natural disasters appeared, all the ugliness of human nature would emerge.

The upstream villages are concerned about the lives of their own villages, but they are in vain for those people downstream, knowing that although the water can be fetched back to drink even if it runs far, without the river, the fields in the village will not be irrigated. Most of the people in their village rely on farming to make a living, and this way of making a living is broken, which is no different from making money and killing people.

"Has the village chief already gone to Yujia Village?"

"That's right, I went with a few village men, I've been going for a while, and I guess it's almost time to go back, but I don't know if this justice can be recovered. I'm afraid our family's field won't last long. ”

"Aunts, rest assured, if you sue the government for this private earthen dam to cut off people's back roads, you won't get any cheap in Yujia Village, we will take care of this matter, don't worry too much, I believe the matter will be resolved." In fact, Lin An didn't have a score in his heart, if it was really like what she said, the Yu family village itself knew that this thing was not authentic, but he still did it, maybe there would be someone behind him, otherwise where would he really have such a big courage.

But now, she could only appease a few aunts first, and then said goodbye to the small river outside the village.

The situation on the other side of the river is roughly the same as they said, in just a few days, the fields in the village have dried up a lot, there are many dead fish in the river, and the people in the village are crying and making trouble around the river, which is simply inextricable.

Some people hurriedly carried back a lot of the rest of the water with buckets, probably some of them were like her old house, the well was not dug deep enough to get water, so they relied on the remaining water to survive.

Lin An followed the group and waited for a while, and then saw Village Chief Li walking towards this side with those strong men, and the people in the village hurriedly rushed over there, and began to ask the village chief about the situation in Yu's village.

Lin An stood not far away and did not speak, not because he didn't care, but from the expressions on the faces of the village chief and those people, it could be seen that this matter was not going well.

Similar to what she expected, Village Chief Li raised his hand and motioned for everyone to calm down before he spoke, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I know that everyone is uncomfortable about this matter, but it's useless to be anxious, don't worry, I will definitely get this justice back!" ”

"Ouch, Village Chief Li, you can say it beautifully, what is the situation in Yujia Village, will they demolish this earthen dam or not?"

"Okay, didn't I tell you not to worry." Village Chief Li didn't speak, and the man who had been following him opened his mouth impatiently, with a deflated look on his face, "The gang of people in Yujia Village are simply a bunch of hooligans, they have teamed up with two nearby villages to build a dam, we can't talk about it, they just won't demolish it." ”

"Huh? Oh, what can we do, we're all waiting for water to save our lives. ”

"Yes, if they don't tear it down, I'll go with them desperately, it's a big deal, and I can't wait to die."

The gossip voices came together, and the man on the other end shouted again, "You think I don't want to fight with them, we are all about to fight, but how many people we have only gone, and each of them is enough to drown us with a mouthful of spit, not to mention that you don't know that Yujia Village is already full of hooligans and ruffians, and if you really want to fight, you can beat it." ”

Anyone can say angry words, but who would dare to do something really desperate.

Everyone knows what the man said, and who doesn't know from the people in several nearby villages that the Yujia village has gone to the ancestors, and it is the people from the village on the mountain who came down, and there are several bandits. If it was really a fight, how could they, the people who farmed for a living, be able to fight with others.

"Then Village Chief Li, what do you say about this, we can't demolish people's houses, but we can't wait to die here, who knows how long it will take for it to rain on this day, and how long my field can last."

"Everyone, don't be impatient, don't be impatient!" Village Chief Li could only persuade little by little, "Since I am the village chief of the village, I will definitely make decisions for everyone." Since this matter cannot be reconciled, I will go to Pingxian County to report to the official later, and let the magistrate ask for justice for us. This matter is not only related to one of our villages, but several villages downstream have been hit by seedlings, and this kind of big thing will not be ignored by the county magistrate. ”

"Can this matter be reliable, but I heard that the village chief of Yujia Village is familiar with the county lord, and the treatment that Yujia Village gets every year is better than that of other villages."

"Yes, their gang of scoundrels, when they make trouble, they are endless, and the gang of people above always turn a blind eye, who knows that they don't care about it. Besides, even if it is managed, the village of Renyu is blindly dragging it out and not demolishing it, they can afford this time, but we can't afford it. ”

……

Village Chief Li couldn't come up with a convincing guarantee for a while, so it was naturally difficult to settle down, and all the doubts and worries came out of his mouth, so many people made Lin An a little helpless.

It's a tricky thing to do, but no matter how tricky it is, it can't be handled with just a few words.

She looked at Village Chief Li being surrounded in the crowd, her face became embarrassed, and she opened her mouth without holding back, "Everyone, it is useless for you to be so noisy, the solution is not noisy, it is better to calm down and think about how to deal with this matter." ”

This sentence fell, but it was quite useful, and it did make the people in front of him a lot quieter, but it made everyone's eyes look at Lin An.

"Yo, it's Mrs. Lin, you're here too."

Li Erhu, the nephew of the village chief, and a few people who have helped build houses in Lin An's house, still have a lot of good feelings for Lin An, after all, the wages are sufficient and the treatment is well managed, but there are still a few women who don't deal with Lin An much, and they always think about what she has done and don't treat her very well.

"What Mrs. Lin said, do you think we want to quarrel, the water of feelings is gone, as if your family can survive."

"She doesn't have a field at home, so of course she's not in a hurry, we're all waiting for water to save our lives."

"Okay, okay, what is the noise, I think Mrs. Lin is right, it's useless to be so noisy."

"Come on, you just listen to her and only blow big words." Luo Cui was also in the crowd, and after two smacks, he came up. She had eaten a few times at Lin An's hands before, and she didn't dare to go to the end of the village to find fault these days, but who let this little evil obstacle hang up all of a sudden, but this time she stood up, "Just teach people here, and if you have the ability, you can tell me how you can solve this matter." ”

"That's it." Luo Cui didn't want to see her, and the whole village knew about it, but Lin An didn't expect that Zheng Han'er, the girl of the Zheng family, would actually stand up and help Luo Cui speak, "Aunt Luo is right, as if no one can say beautiful words, but this matter always has to be solved, everyone is trying to find a way in this person, you are good, and blame us." ”

Lin An looked at the speaker, of course she knew a village, this Zheng Han'er, she didn't have much impression on weekdays, and she hadn't said it a few times, I don't know why, there were thorns in her sentences, as if she had offended her somewhere.
