"Don't rob, don't rob! Everybody is lining up......"

"It's all there! Five cents a bucket, everyone has a share~~~"

I saw that on the two big wooden frame cars at the entrance of the village, there were three large log boxes, and at the front and rear of each wooden frame car, there was a strong man, some holding a water scoop, and some holding a money box to collect money, and the wooden frame car was surrounded by men, women and children, all of whom were carrying wooden barrels, crowded and rushed to the front.

"Two buckets in my house, it's a dime!"

A young man shouted and filled two buckets of water, and immediately left the crowd with the buckets, and those behind followed closely and crowded forward, some hit one bucket and some had two buckets, in short, it was like rushing to a big gathering, and it was very lively.

The old man in the bun shop just now, he didn't squeeze in at this time, he held it with both hands, and desperately squeezed it with five cents in his mouth, and finally, after the people around him walked away, he successfully moved to the front of the wooden frame car, and smiled excitedly: "Erhaizi, this is my money, one ...... A bucket! ”

The man called Erhaizi, with a meaty face, a fat body, and drooping eyelids, heard the old man speak, glanced at it slightly, and immediately waved his hand: "No, no, no, buy it tomorrow, don't sell it today!" ”

The old man hurriedly stepped forward to see the log box, but was pushed away by Er Haizi, and suddenly became anxious: "There are obviously many more in it, how can you not sell it?" Erhaizi, hurry up and give Uncle a bucket, the house is still open, but you can't cut off the water! ”

Erhaizi put his hands in his pockets, and said with a smile: "Uncle, they are all from the same village, can we still not know the difficulties of your family?" But there's really not much left in it, and there are still a few families working here who don't have water, so they can't go home and bring some, right? Why did you only come now, didn't you get it if you came earlier? ”

The old man wiped a handful of sweat and sighed lightly: "I said Erhaizi, you also saw that with my body and bones, how can I fight them, in fact, I came first, or you can give me a bucket...... If you can't make half a bucket, the bun shop won't be opened, our family has to eat, right? ”

"Let's go, uncle! The rest of us are waiting to get home and take a shower, hahaha! ”

A young man with a cash box next to him smiled playfully, followed by everyone burst into laughter.

When I saw this, I couldn't stand any longer, put the uneaten buns in my hand into my pocket, strode forward, and said to Erhaizi: "Since it's a village, why can't you help a little when you're in trouble?" You are willing to take a bath and not sell it to the elderly, is it a loss of righteousness for a few big brothers to do this? ”

When I said this, Er Haizi looked me up and down with his braincase, and raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Where did this chick come from and catch up with the hero?" Boy, this is not the old society where the road is uneven and the sword is drawn to help, now it is the reform and opening up of the people who are the masters of the country, I can do business if I want to do it, and if I don't want to do it, don't do it, can you manage it? ”

Another man also glanced at me, and said in a low voice: "This kid doesn't want to be in our area, could it be that he was sent down from above to understand the disaster?" ”

My heart tightened, I dared to love this thing when I was a small cadre sent by the superior leader, as soon as Er Haizi heard this, his eyes widened, and then he glared at the man: "Fart!" What kind of cadres have you ever seen who is only seventeen or eighteen years old? Seeing that he is wearing old clothes and old shoes, at most he is a poor boy who has fled from other places! ”

The old man quietly tugged at my sleeve and whispered, "Young man, don't get into trouble, these people...... But the thorn in our village ......"

Speaking of key places, the old man's voice was almost inaudible, but I still heard it clearly, it turned out that these few people selling water were not good things, but no matter how bad they were, I was still afraid of them alone?!

provoked the Taoist master, and still cut them like a ghost!

The atmosphere in the venue froze for a while, Er Haizi looked at me, then at the old man, and said lightly: "Uncle, it's okay if you want to buy it, but there is really not much left, if you really want to buy it, you have to increase the price!" ”

"You!" I frowned, and was about to open my mouth to angrily scold this bastard who took advantage of the fire to rob, but was grabbed by the old man, and the old man asked in a trembling voice: "Erhaizi, add, increase...... How much do you have to add? ”

Er Haizi couldn't help but say, and stretched out a finger: "You have to double, a dime a bucket, otherwise, we really won't sell!" ”

"This ......" The old man anxiously glanced down at the five-cent change in his hand, and suddenly said with a bitter face: "Erhaizi, you see that it is not easy for our old couple to do some small business, and there is still a large family at home, you see...... Can you give a real price? ”

"If you want to buy it, you can buy it, and then you will add it to a dollar and a barrel, and we won't sell it, let's go~~~"

The young man with the money box screamed in a sharp girly voice, and the other men began to set up the car and turn their heads.

Erhaizi smiled and said, "Uncle, you really don't buy it?" Ha ha! Then hurry home, hahaha! Let's go~~~"

The old man just carried the barrel and watched Er Haizi and the others turn their heads and enter the village until they disappeared at the end of the street, and the old man sighed deeply: "Bastard......"

I glanced at the remaining change in my hand, and there were six cents, in fact, with mine, the old man could still buy a bucket, but I had my intentions, and stepped forward to comfort: "Old man, since they can get water to sell, it means that there is still a drinkable water source outside, and they can get it, why can't we just go and fetch water to drink?" ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't mess with that idle matter, our villagers here know where they got the water, isn't it Niutouling, which is more than ten miles away, where the mountain spring water is drinkable, but as soon as this incident in our Sanyang Village came out, Erhaizi and others rushed to Niutouling to occupy the territory, and what they grabbed first had to be taken care of by them, and the water source of the entire Niutouling was theirs, and the villagers had to nod their heads if they wanted to drink and use, no, they gradually started the ghost idea of selling water for profit, and the villagers had no choice." I have to buy their water, or I can't die of thirst, right? This time and again, they really treat selling water as a serious business, and there are two people in Niutouling who are guarding all day, who dares to fetch water, to say the least, they have to be beaten half to death, alas......"

After listening to the old man's story, my scalp was a little numb, what is going on?!

Scratching the back of my head, I asked again, "Grandpa, what is going on here?" Isn't there anything particularly strange about actually destroying all the water sources in Fangyuan? I'd like to see it! ”

The old man looked at me in astonishment, and after a long time, he said, "By the way, after talking for a long time, I still don't know where you came from, what is your surname, and what are you doing in our Sanyang Village, young man?" ”

I smiled embarrassedly, seeing that the old man was also a lot old, there must be no less things to pass, I glanced around, and saw that there was no one, so I whispered that I and Zhang Zhenren drove the corpse through here.

"Huh?" The old man's face turned pale, and he almost piled up on the ground, but fortunately his legs were stable enough to stand slightly, and the old man said in surprise: "It turns out that you are corpse chasers...... Your name is the seventh day of junior high school? And a real person? And he still lives in the ancient theater building in the northwest corner of the village?! You, you...... You're amazing! ”

I thought that the old man would say that you are "crazy and stupid", but I didn't expect the old man to praise me excitedly, and then the old man said happily: "Oops! It's been a long, long time since I've seen you masters, I remember it was a few decades ago, when I was a doll, I went to the ancient theater with my grandfather at night to watch a play, and when I came back, I bumped into a small inn once, no, how many years have I been......"

I smiled to myself, in fact, the old man has no chance to see, even if the general corpse chaser passes by every year, ordinary people don't necessarily have that opportunity to see, just say Zhang Zhenren, before entering Sanyang Village, he is pinching his fingers and calculating, what is it, is there any big master in the village, don't offend the precious "customer", is there any popularity to wander around the mountain trail...... Wait, after confirming that those "customers" are not subject to any taboos, they can enter the village safely, so this old man must have committed a rush decades ago to be "lucky" to meet, or he was too lucky......

I didn't have time to grind with the old man, Zhang Zhenren had already warned me to go back early, after thinking about it, I hugged my fists and said: "Since the old man understands my identity, then what can I say clearly, right?" What's going on in your village? ”

The old man hurriedly nodded heavily: "That's really good, I'm afraid this matter has to be solved by you masters!" If you want to talk about our village...... It's all a small lake in the south of the village, and if we change it a little, we can drink it, after all, the lake water is connected to our own well, but the water of that lake, alas! If you want to say that it is not a lake, the whole thing is a lake of blood......"
