According to Summer, the old mayor of Huangsha Town hooked up with their Mole Gang a long time ago, and the relationship between the two sides can be described as "cooperative".

"Cooperation?"

Xiao Worm really didn't understand that one was the mayor of Huangsha Town, and the other was the boss of the Mole Gang, these two people should have been well water and not river water on weekdays, or water and fire were incompatible, but no matter what, they shouldn't be in a cooperative relationship.

What do they have to work with?

"Of course, it's a joint development of this water intake," Summerer pointed to his feet, "and this water intake point is only a part of this ruins, including the reservoir near Huangsha Town, which is part of a vast 'underground water supply network.'" ”

"First of all, this water intake point is capable of pumping clean deep groundwater directly, and the amount of water withdrawn is so large that, according to our preliminary estimates, it can supply at least five underground reservoirs at the same time, which can meet the daily water supply of all towns and cities within a radius of 100 miles."

"A stable source of clean water here is equivalent to an inexhaustible treasury, since it is our mole gang that first discovered this water intake point, then if you want to buy water from us, you have to pay a certain 'water fee', after all, pie will not fall from the sky, and clean water will not come out of the ground for no reason."

"Excavating the ruins costs a certain amount of money, and repairing the 'underground water supply network' also requires a certain amount of cost, as well as daily operation and maintenance, so it is quite unrealistic to want to be able to enjoy the sweet and clear groundwater without spending a penny."

"At the same time as I found the water point, I had already sent people to find the mayor of Huangsha Town, and after several contacts, they were quite satisfied with the price proposed by our Mole Gang, saying that they could accept it, and in order to win more preferential policies, they also indicated that they would persuade other nearby towns to let them buy water from us as well."

"Earlier, the mayor of Huangsha Town asked someone to come and send me a message, saying that someone might come to destroy the water intake point tonight, no, it's just the two of you."

……

Summer's words stunned both the turtledove and the little worm, because what they both heard from Merry was not this version, in Merry's mouth, it was the price offered by the Mole Gang that was too high for Huangsha Town to accept, and the old mayor rejected their proposal in a fit of anger, so the Mole Gang ruthlessly closed the water pipeline, forcing many residents in Huangsha Town to leave their homes.

In Merry's description, the Moles are a group of hungry wolves who eat people and do not spit out bones, and only know how to eat other people's flesh and drink other people's blood; And what Somer just said shows that the Mole Gang is not what Merry said, they are a group of merchants, a group of businessmen who have started the idea of selling water.

In fact, if it is true that they have found this water intake point and are resuming the function of the "underground water supply network", as Summerer said, then it is not unacceptable to collect some "water bills", as Summerer said earlier, "after all, there is no pie in the sky".

So when they heard this, the turtledove and the little worm understood that between that Merry and this Summer, there must be someone who was lying.

It turned out obviously, the one who lied was Merry.

But why should he lie?

The turtledove and the worm fell silent, but on the other side, Summerer and Rango began to talk.

……

"If it were Daddy, he wouldn't charge any 'water bills,'" Rango told Summer, "and he's going to let those who need it free of charge, rather than thinking about the return for everything you do." ”

"It's a pity that he's dead," Somer's eyes were a little gray, "I thought you had been out for so many years, and you could grow a little brain, but I didn't expect you to become more stupid, and actually came back to see me in order to save two irrelevant young people, don't you know that I have always wanted to kill you?" ”

"Don't show mercy without great strength, there is no need for cheap sympathy in a place outside the law, kindness will only become a reason for others to attack, - I said this to you back then, but you never understood it."

"You remember that the two of us dueled a few times, and you remember that you didn't win once, so you must remember why Daddy died, if it weren't for the sake of growing up together, that shot I would have shot at that time would not have been your hat, but would have blown your head."

"So before I get angry, get out of here with those two little bunnies, and never let me see you again."

After speaking, Somer got up and wanted to leave the place, and the moment he lifted the curtain of the tent door, he turned his head slightly, and looked condescendingly at Rango, who was still sitting there, his eyes full of resentment.

It was clear that Summerer really wanted to kill Rango.

……

Somer was gone, and Rango sat there for a long time, as if caught up in a long stream of memories, and Turtledove saw that there were no guards around, just a sluggish Rango, so he went into a state of rage, and easily broke the rope that bound his hands.

With two strokes of his shoulder, the turtledove untied the rope from the worm's wrist, and the two of them were not in a hurry to leave, anyway, Summerer said before he left that he would let them go, and they were not in a hurry.

"What the hell is your relationship with that Somer?"

Sitting around the campfire in the center of the tent, the turtledove was still loosening its muscles, and the little worm asked Rango a question that he was more curious about.

"He and I grew up together and used to be brothers."

Looking at the flames jumping in front of him, Rango was completely lost in his memory.

……

The Mole Gang was originally founded by a man who was surrounded by poor homeless people in the desert, and many times had to dig a deep sand pit, cover his body with a blanket, and rely on the residual heat in the depths of the sand pit to survive the cold desert nights.

Later, digging and digging, the Mole Gang dug up a lot of things that were buried under the yellow sand, and with the various materials dug up, the scale of the Mole Gang gradually expanded, and it became a relatively well-known force in this area.

There are two orphans in the Mole Gang, the older one named Summer and the younger one named Rango, and they are very much liked by the man who founded the Mole Gang, and always likes to affectionately call each other "Daddy", and the man also likes them both very much, and treats them as if they were his own sons.

However, the Mole Gang is not the only force here, and the expansion of the Mole Gang's sphere of influence soon affects another force, the leader of which has a very dangerous nickname, the Desert Horned Viper.
