Chapter 20: The Man Who Stole Water.
The door was pushed open, and a familiar face appeared in front of him, the old man looked majestic and angry, and his cloudy eyes stared at Yu Shan, eager to tear him apart immediately.
Yu Shan's heart was completely dead, lying on the ground and smiling bitterly, it's over, everything is over.
"Someone, bring this liar down to me, and entertain me well!" The old man stomped on his crutches with a look of indignation.
In the end, it was their own village's matter, and it had nothing to do with Yao Nian, she laughed coldly twice before she spoke, "There is such a strange thing in your village, you don't want to explain it?" ”
As the patriarch of a village, it was indeed a dereliction of duty to be deceived by such a person's rhetoric.
The patriarch had white hair, and looked at Yao Nian very apologetically, "I'm really sorry, it's my dereliction of duty that wronged this little lady." ”
Yao Nian nodded, and suddenly remembered the matter of the water source, a person like Yu Shan, who is eager for quick success, will definitely use the water source to invite merit.
"Patriarch, I want to ask, the water source that Yu Shan told you..."
He slammed his hand on his crutches and said seriously, "He did tell me about the water source, and he said he found it by accident. ”
Yao Nian was happy when she heard it, and she knew, "Yu Shan is really full of lies, he lied to you, I found that water source, but I was knocked unconscious by Yu Shan before I could dig it." ”
Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, Yao Nian added, "You also heard my words during the day, and you must have understood who found it." ”
The patriarch naturally understood, he tightened his fingers, and in order for the people in the village to drink water, as soon as Yu Shan said, he sent someone over to dig it.
There is indeed water, but it is not inexhaustible, he let people transport most of it back, and it has been divided, and the division can't be returned, right? The patriarch has a headache, how can I tell her about this?
Yao Nian saw that he was so entangled, so he guessed something, and his heart sank violently, "The patriarch might as well have something to say!" ”
After thinking a lot, the patriarch slowly spoke up, "Most of the water has been transported back by the people in the village, I know that this matter is wrong for us, the Great Xia Kingdom has been in drought for many years, and we can't help it, we have to live when winter is approaching." ”
"If you want to live, you will drink our blood?" Yao Nian snorted coldly unceremoniously, "The patriarch also knows that the Great Xia Kingdom has been in drought for many years, and the population of Peach Blossom Village is more than twice as large as your village, and you want to live, so what about us?" ”
Yao Nian's words were speechless, and it was difficult to choose left and right, if these water coefficients were returned, then they would have to die a lot of people in their village this winter.
But if you don't...
The patriarch's eyes flashed, there was no way to compromise, for the sake of the people in their village, he could only be ruthless.
His gaze was so sharp, how could Yao Nian not feel that this dead old man had a bad idea!
"Little lady, offended." The patriarch raised the cane in his hand, and looked at Yao Nian very apologetically.
Two tall men came out behind him, grabbing her arms so quickly that she couldn't move.
Yao Nian was angry to death, glaring at the old man while struggling, "What do you want to do?" ”
The patriarch came closer and sighed deeply in front of her, "I have to think about my villagers, you can act as if you don't know what to do, or say that the water source has dried up." ”
"Huh." It's ridiculous, it dries up in the morning and afternoon, he thinks the people in Peach Blossom Village are stupid?
Yao Nian looked at him coldly and was furious, "So how long do you want to trap me?" ”
This sentence made it difficult for him, and if she let Yao Nian go, she would definitely go back and tell the matter, and then they would come to make trouble, and it was even very likely that they would come to rob her.
After thinking about it, he came up with a very perfect idea, "It's better to be like this, I also learned about the situation of your family, instead of living with a paralyzed person and three disobedient dolls for a lifetime, why don't you come to our Wafang Village, how about I find you a good condition?" ”
Yao Nian knows what it means to be amazing, and her feelings are afraid that she will talk nonsense, and she will directly deceive people to look at them under her nose to feel at ease.
"Heh, the patriarch is really good to me!" Yao Nian smiled sarcastically.
"This is also a helpless move, how about I give you time to think about it?" The patriarch smiled helplessly.
Yao Nianzheng was angry and ready to scold, but the door was suddenly kicked violently, and Liu Dazhuang broke in with a thick stick in his hand and a fierce face.
"What to consider? Yao Nian will always be the daughter-in-law of the Xie family, and you will also want to take away the things in our Peach Blossom Village, including a drop of water! ”
Xie Xiao, who was following behind Liu Dazhuang, saw that Yao Nian, who was not injured at all, also let go of his clenched fist and stood obediently without making a sound.
Seeing them, Yao Nian breathed a sigh of relief, glared at the two people who grabbed her arms, and said angrily, "Don't let go yet!" ”
The patriarch's eyebrows jumped suddenly, looking at their big battle, he could only helplessly wave his hand to let them let go of Yao Nian.
"The daughter-in-law of the Xie family, are you okay? They're going to beat you? Liu Erzhuang asked.
Yao Nian shook his head, "I'm fine." ”
Hearing her say that it was okay, Liu Erzhuang set his eyes on the patriarch again, and said meaningfully, "You took away the village chief and villagers of our village without permission, and stole our water, don't you have anything to say?" ”
He admitted to stealing water, but he really didn't know about catching the village chief, "I didn't arrest your village chief, this little lady was also caught by Yu Shan's liar, as for stealing water..."
The patriarch's head jumped with sorrow, "It's better to discuss, it's all human life, how about I return half of your water to make some food for you?" ”
As soon as he heard that there was food, Liu Dazhuang was a little untenable, water is important, but water cannot be full, and the most important thing is food.
Liu Erzhuang held him down, his face was still very light, "This depends on the sincerity of the patriarch first." ”
Two bags of coarse rice, a few buckets of water, and the rest of Liu Erzhuang let all the people pull back, it was dark and there were no five fingers, but the group of people walked very slowly with excitement, for fear of spilling a little water.
Xie Xiao followed behind, silent for a long time before speaking, "Today was the meal cooked by that person, and I didn't eat it." ”
Yao Nian, who was wrong of him, was stunned when he heard her words, raised his hand and grabbed his arm, and asked, "Why didn't you eat?" ”
Stupid woman.
Xie Xiao's ears were a little red, and he said stiffly, "I'll help Uncle Liu find water." ”
"You're so good, huh?" Yao Nian squinted and smiled and rubbed his head, "Dabao is awesome, I know that I have to worry about the big guys, and I will go back to my mother to make you something to eat later." ”
Xie Xiao was a little angry, but he didn't say anything when he saw her tired face, and nodded.
The distribution of water is set for tomorrow at noon, Yao Nian pulled Xie Xiao to go home, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a cry from the house, it was a little girl's.
Yao Nian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly pushed the door.
