Chapter 63: The embankment is broken!
When he was about to run to the foot of the mountain, Tao Sixi suddenly stopped.
She seemed to hear some loud rumbling noise, as if ...... Something broke through the shackles and poured out!
"Look what's that?"
Tao Haisheng and their exclamations came from behind them.
"There's a lot of water, what's the matter?"
"Could it be that the people of Hongtian Village opened the gate?"
In front of the line of sight, a huge current of water suddenly appeared, rushing downstream.
Downstream ditches were filled up in an instant, and the water overflowed the ditches and flowed into the farmland on both sides, moistening the dry crops.
"Great, there's finally water coming down!"
Someone in the crowd cheered.
But the cheer did not last for a moment, when the water roared down like a flood of beasts, and in an instant swept through the nearby fields, the seedlings were submerged, and the fields of crops turned into a vast sea.
"It's not good, it's the embankment that is broken, and it's in trouble!"
“……”
It was night, and the Wang family ancestral hall in Hongtian Village was brightly lit.
Li Zheng of Hongtian Village, Wang Laohu, the current head of the Wang family, sat on the Taishi chair, holding two iron walnuts in his hands, and his gloomy gaze fell on the two people below.
It was Tao Wangsheng who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and the old man on the side was Tao Laohan.
The father and son were tied up like prisoners.
In addition, the ancestral hall is also crowded with the Wang family and the Tangcun people led by Lizheng Liu Dahai, and the two sides are discussing follow-up compensation for Tao Wangsheng's impulse to dig the dam......
The rules at this time, unless there are special circumstances, women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall.
Especially the ancestral hall with a different surname.
So even if he was worried about Tao Laohan and Tao Wangsheng, Tao Sixi couldn't come in, so he could only stay at home and wait for news......
The old Tao family in Tang Village has become a pot of porridge at this time.
Ma Shi had received news that both of them had been tied up and sent to the ancestral hall of the Wang family, and the old lady fainted at that time.
Although he woke up at this time, he was lying on the bed like a half-dead person, and he had already lost his sense of proportion.
Fan and Zhu were by the side of Ma's bed, and they were also panicked, and the sobbing in the room was incessant.
A few other aunts and aunts of the family also rushed over and stayed in the east house to accompany them......
Tao Sixi didn't stay in the East House, she was already upset, and if she stayed there and listened to their helpless crying and complaining, she would be even more irritable.
It is better to stay at the gate of this courtyard and wait for the person who went to inquire about the news to come back......
After a while, Uncle Tao Haisheng came back with a roar.
"Uncle Haisheng, what's the situation?" Tao Sixi hurriedly greeted him and asked.
Tao Haisheng's face was solemn, "The situation is not good, your milk is in the house, right?" Let's go inside! ”
……
"What? How much silver does Wang Laohu want our family to lose? Five hundred taels? Why didn't he rob it, it was like a lion opening his mouth, and he didn't let people live! ”
In the east room, after listening to the news brought back by Tao Haisheng, Ma was so angry that he almost rolled off the bed.
The rest of the room was dumbfounded.
Zhu hurriedly echoed: "Yes, my mother is right, this is driving people to death, my father was beaten by their Wang family and was still lying in bed, who should I ask for this medical money?" ”
Fan also wiped his tears and said: "The Wang family is too bullying, if they hadn't humiliated Daping's father first, he wouldn't have dug the dam on impulse......"
Tao Dalan gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Is the dam paper-paste?" My father broke it after a few hoes, didn't he say that the people of Hongtian Village repaired it every year? It's all a lie! ”
The condemnations of the women in the room were higher than one wave, and Tao Sixi frowned.
