The next day.

The villagers of Xiasha Village woke up very early, and this morning the two villages were finally going to have a formal dialogue, and everyone wanted to go and watch.

There are a few people who can't wait for the relationship between the two villages to be worse, but there are also those who secretly fall in love, hoping that the relationship can get better.

There is no need for Li Duoyu to inform them, many elderly people in the village have already arrived at the Tianhou Temple.

When Li Duoyu arrived there, the Tianhou Temple was already full of villagers, and the four old men who often played four-color cards in the square were telling the young people about the grievances and grievances of the two villages in the past hundred years.

About a hundred years ago, when there was a famine everywhere, our first exiles to Dandan Island could only live in small boats.

If you want to mix food and drink saliva, you have to help the people of Chenjia Village work, and if you want to fish, you have to get the consent of Chenjia Village.

Later, as more and more people fled, everyone chose a place far away from Chenjia Village, which is where we are now, and established a small village.

There are a lot of small seafood on the island, and after everyone comes, they will not go hungry, that is, if people always eat seafood, if they do not eat grains and vegetables, it is easy to get sick, and the whole body becomes soft.

So the village planned to plant some crops, but there was only one small stream on the island, which was not very current, so that it could water the crops.

In Xiasha Village, a canal is planned to be built to bring some stream water to irrigate the farmland.

didn't think that the people of Chenjia Village would refuse, thinking that Xiaoxi was theirs, and it was precisely because of this incident that the first fight between the two villages took place.

It is precisely because of this incident that the ancestor of Chenjia Village even made a rule and swore that the two villages would never communicate with each other from now on, and the Chen family was not allowed to intermarry with people from Xiasha.

He even threatened to drive all of them, outsiders, out of Dandan Island.

The young man who was listening on the side said, "The people in Chenjia Village are too stingy. ”

The old man smiled: "Actually, then we will be at a loss, if it is now, a group of people come to our island, want to build a new village, and divide our land, are you willing?" ”

"I definitely don't want to."

The old man nodded and said: "At that time, everyone also knew that they were at a loss, so in the face of Chenjia Village's difficulties, everyone could only swallow their anger, but at that meeting, everyone finally stood on their feet, in order not to be driven out of Dandan Island, they could only continue to absorb the displaced people outside As a result, in less than a few decades, the population size of Xiasha Village was already the same as that of Chenjia Village." ”

Shi asked, "Grandpa Qi, when did our family come?" ”

"Your family, you came relatively late, if I remember correctly, I came almost after liberation."

Shi suddenly realized: "No wonder our family lives in that place at the end of the village, it turns out that we came relatively late. ”

Li Duoyu, who was also listening to the past, couldn't help asking, "What about our family?" ”

The old man said, "Your family, it should be a relatively early batch, almost seventy or eighty years ago, but your family is different from others.

Everyone else fled here, and your Li family heard that they had offended the government by doing business in Rongcheng before, so they ran to Dandan Island. ”

"Ah, there's such a thing, why didn't my dad tell me."

The old man smiled:

"I guess your father doesn't know about this, it was your grandfather who has passed away a long time ago who told me that your Li family has an ancestral hall near the Taijiang Wharf in Rongcheng, and your genealogy is there."

"That's right."

Li Duoyu thought about it, if he had the opportunity in the future, he would recognize his ancestors, otherwise their brothers' names might not be on the family tree.

It's almost eight o'clock in the morning.

There were also people from Chenjia Village, and the elderly man who walked in front of him was the elderly.

There were about twenty of them, all in long coats and black hats.

At the front, there was a man in a red gown, the oldest, who looked to be in his eighties, who should be the speaker of their village.

The daily affairs of Chenjia Village are generally the responsibility of the village director and the village party secretary, but when there is a major clan matter, the general speaker leads the director (elder) to deal with it.

After both sides came.

The temple of Tianhou Temple stepped forward and shouted: "Please invite the representatives of Xiasha Village and Chenjia Village to come and offer incense." ”

Li Duoyu said to the old man who told them about the past: "Grandpa Qi, you are relatively senior in the village, you should go and be a representative." ”

The old man smiled and shook his head.

"Our two villages are different, you are now our village head, and you are our representative."

"If I go up, it's not appropriate."

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that the old people in the village collectively echoed: "It doesn't matter if it's suitable or not, our village is originally a hundred family names, there are not so many rules, and the village chief is the biggest." ”

"Okay, then I'll be on it."

When Li Duoyu and the old man in the red coat stood side by side, he could clearly feel that the faces of the old people in Chenjia Village were not very good.

The temple blessed a total of twelve incense sticks, divided six sticks for each of them, and then shouted: "Three incense sticks worship heaven and earth, and three incense sticks worship Mazu." ”

After the two sides worshipped, Miaozhu said in a deep voice: "Today, under the witness of Mazu Niangniang, the villagers of the two villages must abide by the rules of the Tianhou Palace, and cannot fight, abuse, or lie in the Tianhou Palace. ”

The old man in the red coat said: "Believer, Chen Huowang guarantees that the villagers of Chenjia Village will abide by the rules of the Tianhou Temple. ”

Li Duoyu also said: "Believer, Li Duoyu promises to take care of the villagers."

Miao Zhu continued: "Then let's start, and invite the parties from the two villages to come to Mazu Niangniang." ”

Not long after.

The party who caused the two villages to almost fight came to Mazu Niangniang.

The two brothers of the Zhao family, who were wrapped in bandages on their heads, were extremely red when they saw the group of people who beat them, and they couldn't wait to go up and kill them now, especially the bastard named Chen Jiahao.

In fact, when the two brothers were imprisoned, they had already been used to beating, but it was nothing, and the most unacceptable thing for them was.

The two brothers had obviously never done anything like stealing chickens and dogs, but this time they were actually deducted such a big hat.

If they succeeded, the two brothers would not be able to raise their heads on Dandan Island in their lives, let alone marry wives.

After seeing that both sides were coming, the temple of Tianhou Temple acted as the host, and he first offered incense and asked Mazu Niangniang.

"Believer, Li Caihui, as the host of this time, promises not to favor one side or the other, and to be fair and just."

He was the first to ask the villager in Chenjia Village who claimed that the Zhao brothers had stolen their land cage: "Why, you think that the two brothers are thieves. ”

The fisherman, Chen Jiahao, said: "We caught the two brothers at the scene, and when we arrived at the mangrove forest, they were stealing the cage that my family had put in the ground. ”

Zhao Dahai said: "We didn't steal your cages, those cages were just bought by our two brothers." ”

Miaozhu asked:

"You said you just bought the cage, but what evidence is there to prove it?"

Zhao Dahai said: "It must be proved that our two brothers have painted a stroke with red paint at the end of each ground cage, I don't believe you will take the ground cage they confiscated, take it and take a look at it." ”

Zhao Erniu also said: "And we only bought the ground cage from Lao Chen from the fishing tackle shop last week, if you don't believe it, you can ask him." ”

Lao Chen, who happened to come to watch, stood up: "In front of Mazu Niangniang, I don't dare to tell lies, I can guarantee that the two brothers did buy a ground cage from me last week." ”

In the past, Li Duoyu had heard that when there were some disputes in the village that were difficult to mediate, everyone would go to Mazu Niangniang for comment.

In his previous life, Li Duoyu didn't have a chance to see it.

I didn't think about this life, but I participated, and the whole process is very similar to the "Yamen" of the TV series.

Miao Zhu continued: "If there is evidence, then the matter is very simple, take the confiscated cage and take a look, you will know if it is the Zhao family brothers." ”

Miao Zhu said to Chen Jiahao: "Where did you put the confiscated ground cage?" ”

Chen Jiahao's forehead was full of sweat, and seeing the Zhao family's brother's determined look, he suddenly felt very bottomless, and stood up: "In my family's firewood room." ”

Miao Zhu continued: "In this way, let's call some people from each side to go to their firewood room and take the ground cage, so that it can also prevent the bag from dropping, and see if it is the same as Zhao Dahai said, there are marks on it." ”

Zhao Dahai said firmly: "This is good, there is no problem." ”

The young people beside Chen Jiahao, their faces were all very ugly, and they asked in a low voice, "Brother Hao, shouldn't we really catch the wrong person?" ”

"Impossible."

Although Chen Jiahao's mouth is very hard, he has no bottom in his heart.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
