Chapter 193: Don't let the past repeat itself
The result of the villagers' meeting by a show of hands was undoubtedly overwhelmingly in favor of Wu Yutong's Caohu.
The men who went out to work were afraid that women and children would be bullied at home, and they expected the village accountant to take care of them, so they naturally did not dare to follow him;
The men who stayed at home to farm the land were afraid that the land would be forcibly withdrawn and exchanged, and the fertile soil would be replaced with bad land, so they did not dare to fight against the village accountant and get by.
So, without any pressure, the matter was settled.
Just when the village accountant was about to announce that he would give the grass lake to Wu Yutong, Song Bo's mother suddenly sat on the ground, foaming at the mouth and sobbing.
She rolled her eyes up, only the white of her eyes, and suddenly jumped up after a long time, and stood there righteously accusing the villagers.
Claiming to be possessed by the fox fairy Niangniang, she came to teach this group of disobedient stupid people a lesson.
The villagers were so frightened by her that they didn't know for a moment whether it was true or not, and they all sat there and didn't dare to move, or talk to her.
"Grass Lake is a bathing place in the palace, you dare to give it to outsiders, and it is in vain that the palace has protected you for so many years."
"This palace curses you, you will fend for yourself, there will be no harvest, the plague will be rampant, and you will never be able to give birth to a child again."
Wen Xueqi hurriedly said that the mother was angry.
"We didn't know it was where you bathed, so you could spare us this time. Let's pick an auspicious day for the zodiac, and honor you with the whole pig and the whole sheep. ”
Song Bo's mother said, then you restore everything to the way it was, and you must not let outsiders touch a drop of water in this lake, and then give the palace ninety-nine incense injections, and the palace will spare you once.
Wen Xueqi said that I can't be the master of this matter, so I have to ask everyone what they think.
After speaking, I looked back at everyone's reactions, most of the villagers were superstitious and conservative, and they were hindered by the obscenity of the village accountant, looking at each other, watching each other, and none of them dared to speak first.
But I don't know when a few reporters came, using their cameras, turning on the flash, and shooting at Song Bo's mother.
A young female reporter with a ponytail and glasses stepped forward mercilessly to ask, "Now that the country is vigorously breaking feudal superstition, are you still doing this, aren't you afraid of being arrested and imprisoned?" ”
Song Bo's mother also experienced criticism when she was a child, and she knows how powerful it is to break the four olds and break feudal superstitions. Although the struggle has stopped over the years, she is still scared when the reporter says this.
However, she was a ruthless and strong woman in the end, and for that big ticket, she clenched her teeth, rolled her eyes, and continued to twitch, as if she was really possessed.
Wen Xueqi hurriedly jumped in front of her and scolded the reporters loudly.
"Who told you to come over, who told you to take pictures? Get lost! ”
"If the wind and rain are not good next year and the harvest is affected, will you give us food to eat? Don't get out of here! ”
Wu Yutong made a gesture to the reporters, and they immediately withdrew to the side.
He stepped forward and said sincerely, "I know that everyone is worried that I will use the grass lake indiscriminately, and I am here to assure you that the management of the grass lake belongs to our own people, and I am only responsible for coming over to collect lotus roots and fish." ”
"If you think I'm not doing a good job, you can go to the lake and dig up the lotus root and catch the fish. I can't be here every day, I rely on everyone to take care of this lake. ”
Such words made many people's hearts loosen, and in the end, more than half of them supported him by raising their hands to vote.
Before that, he had already asked Da Fei to go through the formalities, and after the voting results came out, he just took the formalities and called reporters to take pictures and publicize them.
Wu Yutong stood by the lake and shook hands with the village accountant, smiling silly.
Wen Xueqi felt that she was becoming more and more confused about Wu Yutong.
You say he's acting, these things are very old-fashioned, and everything is counted;
Let's say that he is exactly the same as in the previous life, sometimes his brain circuits are peculiar and hopelessly stupid.
Probably because of his illness, she thought.
He's been a little mentally ill.
In the previous life, this problem was very small and negligible, and occasionally it occurred and it was cured after a while; It seems that he is very sick in this life.
His illness made him two completely different people.
She was very angry, Wu Yu and Cao Hu Bao, he would have more reason to come to Yishui Village in the future, and the chance for them to meet will only increase.
If he really bought Caohu to detoxify the substance, it would undoubtedly be bad news for Wen Xueqi.
No, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can survive a hundred battles, she has to test whether the grass lake contains detoxifying substances before him.
She found a large hanging bottle that was rinsed, took a rubber stopper, led the dog and went to Grass Lake.
to bathe the dog and hide the fact that he fetches water.
When he went to the lake to observe, he made sure that there was no one around, so he untied the dog chain and let it swim happily in the lake, and he walked into the lake and took a bottle of water for a sample.
Because I was worried that there were too many impurities in the water on the edge of the lake, I poured the bottle of water again, took off my shoes, rolled up my trouser legs, and walked inside.
The villagers wash their clothes here all year round, and they put many large stones on the edge of the lake, and when there is no drought, the water surface will be covered by the stones.
Wen Xueqi walked cautiously on the stone, leaning as far as he could towards the center of the lake.
"What do you do?"
When she was pouting her ass to get water, she suddenly heard Wu Yutong calling her. Wen Xueqi panicked, the big hanging bottle slipped very much, and it fell into it after a while.
She was busy chasing with her hands, but she used too much force, her center of gravity was unbalanced, her head was top-heavy, and she made a "poof" sound, like a dumpling, and was planted in the water.
His grandmother's didn't learn to swim in his last life!
She floated and fell in the water, she didn't have to step on her feet, the center of gravity of the whole person couldn't be maintained, the water kept pouring into her mouth, choking into her nose, making a cough, and she couldn't keep breathing.
Fortunately, the dog was heartily protecting the Lord, and when he saw that she was in distress, he hurriedly went to this side of the dog. And our initiator, Comrade Wu Yutong, has long since disappeared.
Wen Xueqi remembered the last time they quarreled at the door of the hotel, and he asked her very seriously why she didn't call for help.
She didn't tell him at the time, because she knew that no one would come to save her, and calling for help would only disappoint her.
When she was beaten until her shoulder was broken and her ribs were about to be broken, she cried uncontrollably, and she also screamed and begged for mercy, but except for those who watched the show, no one paid attention to her at all.
Her father even dragged her down the street and beat her up on the street in order to show that his family rules were strict and would educate his children, so that the whole village could see her embarrassed appearance.
Even Liu Xiaoxiao could only come to see her secretly afterwards and shed tears in distress at her.
So she has known since she was a child that no matter what happens, she can only rely on herself.
Those who can resist and escape will resist and escape, and those who can't resist will grit their teeth and bow their heads to endure. There will be no one to help him.
Of course, today she is lucky, there is a dog, and he can come to help her.
She struggled to move towards the dog, but in the water, no more than on land, struggled several times, and did not move, but became farther and farther away from the shore.
In the water of late autumn and early winter, her whole body was numb from the ice, and her consciousness gradually disappeared. The strength is about to run out, and the only hope is for the dog to get closer and closer.
But a pair of hands suddenly lifted her up from under the water, and the instinct for survival made her cling to his neck, like a koala, clinging to a strong tree.
A strange emotion rose in Wen Xueqi's heart, this bastard, isn't he gone?
She thought he would leave her behind.
Wu Yutong carried her to the lake, but her feet were entangled in aquatic plants and she couldn't move. He could only grab the dog over first and let her hold it, while he stabbed down one by one and dragged the water weeds.
Wen Xueqi felt that his feet were pulled a few times, then he was pulled for a few seconds, and then he suddenly became free and free.
Wu Yutong swam up from the water, and there were still aquatic plants in his hands that had not been taken off, and he carried her to the shore.
Wen Xueqi still wanted to struggle, but he only relied on the dog to go back, but he controlled his arm and did not succeed.
Finally got out of danger, she was tired and exhausted, lying on the stone to rest, but Wu Yutong suddenly went crazy, pressed down, pinched her shoulders, her eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and roared.
"What do you want to do? You're crazy, aren't you? Don't you like me that much? You don't want to see me so much? ”
instigated people to make trouble to stop him, found someone to pretend to be a ghost and cursed him, and now he is even throwing himself into the lake!
She's awesome and will do anything to oppose him.
Wen Xueqi thought to herself, isn't this nonsense, of course she doesn't want to see him. remembered that after he suddenly appeared just now and gave her the joy of being saved, she suddenly relented a little and didn't say it.
She turned her face away and ignored him.
After all, someone had just saved her life, and it didn't seem good to say it too badly.
Wu Yutong's voice was full of unconcealable pain, "Why don't you call for help?" Didn't I tell you to call for help? ”
He remembered her departure in his previous life, which was the most painful past in his heart.
Even if she didn't want to see him, there was no need to joke about her safety.
She didn't want to see him, he felt like a knife; But she didn't care about her life, and it hurt more than when she stabbed herself with a knife.
"Wen Xueqi, if you are still like this, I will lock you up in my house."
He couldn't let the events of the previous life repeat themselves, and he didn't mind resorting to some coercion if it really needed to.
"Pumpkin pie?"
Wen Xueqi suddenly changed the topic, and Wu Yutong looked confused, and his mind didn't turn for a while, so he just said what she said.
"You did it?"
"Well, you come with me to pick a big pumpkin."
Wu Yutong said okay, scratched his scalp and let go of her.
She was finally free, looked down and straightened her clothes, only to find visible blood stains on them.
It turned out that when Wu Yutong cut off the aquatic weeds, he was anxious and had too much strength, so he didn't pay attention for a while, so the aquatic weeds strained his hand.
Wen Xueqi looked at the clothes of the two, and then at his scarred, bloody hands, and sighed helplessly.
"Let's go home first."
He said he called the dog over and chained it.
The dog saw more with Wu Yu, regarded him as his own, wagged his tail in front of him, shook his hair happily, and splashed him with water.
He raised his hand and whistled, and the dog jumped up and pounced. With a lot of strength, Wen Xueqi, who was pulling, shook his foot and almost didn't knock over.
She frowned and glared at him, "Walk honestly, don't make trouble." ”
Well, Wu Yutong bit his lip, very aggrieved.
"You see, the dogs are so close to me, only you, always face me badly and speak coldly."
Wen Xueqi said, "I'm not a dog, dogs are familiar with you, what does it have to do with me?" ”
Wu Yutong followed her and stomped his feet, "I didn't mean that, why don't you always want to listen to my explanations and always speculate by yourself?" ”
"How do you understand me if you don't listen to me? If you don't understand me, you've always misunderstood me and hated me. ”
Wen Xueqi paused suddenly, she turned around and crossed her waist, her chin raised, and seemed to be very interested in what she said.
"Okay, you explain to me, why did you want to cover the grass lake?"
Do you dare to admit that you are here to detoxify the substance?
