Chapter 69: Do what you do
"Village chief, it's not good!"
In the afternoon, Qiao Xuan and a few people went back to the tea shed, and a group of villagers came before they entered the house.
Li Erniu and Tao Bai stood at the front with angry expressions on their faces, and their sleeves were rolled up high.
Qiao Xuan glanced at them and moved his lips, "What's the matter?" ”
Seeing them like this, it seems that they are fighting, and the bruises and tendons in their arms are bursting out, and they are blue and purple.
"In the woods on the mountain, there is a fight!" Tao Bai pointed to the mountain, and his tone was hurried.
Xi He frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Who fought with whom?" Make it clear! ”
"The people of Qingfeng Village secretly came to our side to hunt and were discovered, we asked him to give us the prey, but they didn't give it! And then the fight began. ”
Li Erniu glared at Tao Bai in disgust and then rushed to say: "Someone in their village has gone to call the village chief, so the village chief or you will ...... too."
The forests on the mountain have a clear dividing line, and no one can go to the other party's side to hunt, which has been set a long time ago, but now that Qingfeng Village has crossed the border and been caught, Taoyuan Village is naturally unwilling to let it go easily.
Someone from Qingfeng Village went to call their village chief, and Taoyuan Village also hurriedly came to find Qiao Xuan.
"Let's go! Take me to see it," Qiao Xuan said expressionlessly.
"I'll go with you!" After Xi He finished speaking, he looked at Xi Yan again, "Xiaoyan, you go home first." ”
Li Erniu and Tao Bai hurriedly took Qiao Xuan and Xi He to the mountain, and there were fifteen or sixteen people in a group.
"Village Chief, it's Qingfeng Village's unruly first, we'll give them a good look later!"
Tao Bai clenched his fists and rushed forward majestically as he spoke.
"That's right! Let them know that our Taoyuan Village is not easy to mess with" Li Erniu is angry with Tao Bai at this time.
Qiao Xuan followed without saying a word.
What is going on has to be understood before deciding, you can't listen to it and believe it, and the people of Taoyuan Village are not very reliable, and their one-sided words are even more difficult to believe.
In the mountains and dense forests.
A long hemp rope is tied to a tall row of tree trunks to divide the two villages.
A group of people from Qingfeng Village stood on the north side of the hemp rope, and people from Taoyuan Village stood on the south side of the hemp rope.
When Qiao Xuan came, it seemed that the battle between the two sides had ended, Xu Gui didn't know when he arrived, and greeted him from afar, "Village Chief Qiao is here!" ”
"Village Chief Xu" Qiao Xuan glanced at the people in Qingfeng Village, and finally his gaze stayed on Hu Hansan, whose face was flushed.
Hu Hansan subconsciously hid behind the others.
The last time I met Village Chief Qiao here, this time I was met again, and it happened twice as if he had always secretly gone to Taoyuan Village to hunt.
"What's going on?" Qiao Xuan stood still.
"We came to the mountains to hunt today, and we met people from their village, carrying prey in their hands, it must have been on our side, we asked them to leave the prey behind, but they refused."
Zhao Jin, who was still holding a bow and arrow in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Qiao Xuan.
"Fart! The prey is what we hunt on our side. ”
A man behind Xu Gui spat and said viciously.
"Laughing to death! So you mean you're not hunting on our side anymore? Tell me what you're doing here? Is it difficult to leave relatives? ”
"It's like you go to the toilet and don't, saying you're going to eat."
Li Erniu's words made Qiao Xuan roll his eyes, if he can't speak, he can keep his mouth shut, and the others are not without a long mouth, so he has to say this.
"Alright, don't make noise! Say things, talk about things, calm down and analyze, what's the use of being noisy. ”
Qiao Xuan clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"Village Chief Xu, what do you think about this?"
"This incident is indeed wrong with the villagers of our village! You shouldn't cross the line," Xu Gui pondered for a moment before saying.
When the people of Qingfeng Village heard this, their faces were dissatisfied, and their village chief did not help them speak, but said that they were wrong.
"I apologize to Taoyuan Village on their behalf and promise that there will be no next time, does Village Chief Qiao think of it?"
Xu Gui has the attitude of calming things and turning big things into small things.
"Village Chief Xu, there are no rules, I think we still have to deal with this matter according to the previous agreement.
Otherwise, if you just make a few painless noises after crossing the line, everyone thinks that crossing the line is a trivial matter, and someone will commit it again in the future. ”
Qiao Xuan said disapprovingly.
Tao Bai, Li Erniu and other people from Taoyuan Village who were standing behind her nodded again and again, feeling that what Qiao Xuan said made sense.
"I remember writing a contract when I was dividing this dense forest."
The men in Zhao Jin's family are all hunting, so they are more concerned about this matter, and they also remember the content of the contract book clearly.
Qiao Xuan looked at him, he immediately felt more confident in his heart, and said loudly: "The village chiefs of the two villages discussed back then, if one party enters the dense forest of the other party, the prey on his body belongs to the party that belongs to the dense forest. ”
"So when you come, no matter where the prey is fought, but when you come to our territory, it is ours, this is the rule."
The expression on Xu Gui's face froze, not to mention, there was indeed such a contract, which was pressed in the wooden box of his house.
No one mentioned this before because the previous solution was to fight or quarrel between the two parties, starting with a fist and ending with a scolding, and no one let anyone.
Now that the people of Taoyuan Village are mentioned like this, the people of Qingfeng Village, who are already unreasonable, are even more unreasonable.
"Village Chief Xu, shouldn't the prey be brought over?"
Qiao Xuan glanced at the bunch of pheasants tied together on the ground in Qingfeng Village.
"Don't worry, next time if you Qingfeng Village catch our Taoyuan Village crossing the border and go hunting over there, no matter what prey you catch, you can detain it, I will never say anything."
Xu Gui gritted his teeth and stared at the dissatisfaction of his villagers, "Give them to them!" ”
"The village chief?"
Hu Hansan whispered, and tried to struggle again.
They quarreled and quarreled with the people of Taoyuan Village for a long time, and finally the prey was returned to Taoyuan Village, and they really lost face.
Xu Gui turned around and took out the majesty of his village chief to face the hunters of Qingfeng Village, his face was cold, and his eyes were full of warnings.
"This matter is what we did wrong, don't make trouble!"
The people here in Taoyuan Village were all surprised, the village chief of Qingfeng Village was so sensible? It's hard to believe if you don't see it with your own eyes.
"Give it!"
The prey was rudely thrown over, "I will come here once a day from now on, and once I let the people who find out that your Taoyuan Village are hunting across the line, I will not spare it." ”
"That's right! I don't believe I can't catch you people from Taoyuan Village. ”
