Chapter 070: Find another way

Since then, the big guy has known that digging a well is not an easy task.

It is precisely because of this that until now, the big guys in the county mainly rely on the well in Yangfu.

For the people of the Yang family, the water output from their own well is very sufficient, and they can sell it to others in the county when they use it up themselves.

There is no shortage of water, no shortage of food.

There are also a bunch of thugs who can fight.

The Yang Mansion can naturally be their soil emperor in this county town.

Shen Jun stared at the group of people for a while, observed it, and then prepared to leave.

If this group of people goes well, the life of the big guys in Zhiling County may be much better in the future.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the young man who let loose the wind suddenly ran back in a frenzy.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry."

The young man said anxiously, "The dogs raised by the Yang Mansion have turned back again." ”

The dogs raised by the Yang Mansion refer to a few thugs specially recruited by the Yang family, and these people don't need to do anything on weekdays, so they just walk around the county every day.

This group of people is the minions released by the Yang family, and the people in the county town feel disgusted when they see them.

After hearing the words of the young man who let off the wind, the few people who were still concentrating on digging the well just now suddenly climbed up along the rope.

I don't know where to get a haystack from nowhere, plus a stand made of thin bamboo strips that I had prepared a long time ago.

In a hurry, they took these things to the well they had dug halfway through.

Even the tools used to dig the earth were hidden.

This group of people may be doing this kind of thing a lot, but for a short time the whole trace is very clean.

Just to cover it up, just as they were about to slip away, the group of patrols had already arrived.

"What are you doing here?!"

Several men with large thick wooden sticks in their hands asked with a malicious ferocity on their faces.

The stick landed on one of the shoulders with some weight.

With a little strength, the other party was painful.

The man was clutching his aching shoulder, and the expression on his face was slightly distorted, but he didn't dare to go back directly.

"What are you talking about?"

One of them smiled a little while holding the man, "We're just sitting here and chatting, what else can we do?" ”

"Small talk?" The man who slapped the other man's shoulder with a wooden stick sneered meaningfully, "It's quite interesting for a few big men to gossip here." ”

The men digging the well smiled and did not dare to speak.

But this person still had a slight sneer on his face, "It's nothing to talk about, but it's not good to dig a well secretly in private." ”

"Digging a well?"

The smile on the face of the person who answered was about to stiffen, and he felt that his heart was beating extremely fast at this moment, but he still had to bite the bullet and go down, "What dig a well?" Why don't I understand this? ”

"Huh. You don't understand, do you? ”

The young man holding the big wooden stick glanced at several people behind him.

Those few people immediately came forward with a sense of understanding and lifted all the haystacks that had been covered with great difficulty.

"What are you doing!"

"Who made you open! You ......"

But what they stopped was certainly not as fast as the mopping of haystacks.

Until the half-dug wellhead is revealed, and there are tools to put next to it.

The faces of the peasants digging the wells changed.

The young man with the wooden stick smiled a few words, "It's really bold, you dare to dig a well in private, hehe, it seems that you still have a small lesson." ”

"Big brother, it seems that our luck today is quite good."

The others behind the young man laughed, "You can have a good meal tonight." ”

The order that Master Yang gave them was to let them patrol the county.

This task is indeed quite an easy one.

As long as you wander around the county every day, you can eat and drink, and you don't have to worry about living a bad life.

And once you catch these people who dare to make small moves in private, you can add a big meal.

Recently, most of the people in the county have been divided peacefully.

The brothers hadn't thought of the taste of extra food for a long time.

Now, I finally heard the news from other people that someone dared to dig a well in private.

Naturally, their brothers will not be merciful.

Master Yang has a saying that is very good, what about this person, if you want to live in this environment, you must understand a truth - "If people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed".

The brothers were able to eat and drink well, all thanks to these people.

Master Yang made it very clear that the money and food for hiring these thugs came from other people in the county.

So these people are still looking forward to it. Other people in the county town go to Yangfu to buy more water, so that they can live a more nourishing life.

The farmers who were digging the well watched the group of people and let them start to push back the soil they had dug up with great difficulty.

As they moved faster and faster, the well, which had been dug for more than ten meters, was slowly filled in again.

The dark-skinned peasants were stunned, and the fists in their hands clenched and loosened as they watched like this.

The well was filled in again.

It will be even more difficult for them to drink water in the future.

The surplus food left in their family is only enough for a few members of their family.

Their family's land is not particularly small, and in addition to the taxes paid for farming in previous years, they can still have a lot left for their own families to eat.

It is precisely because of the remaining rice grain that they can support it all the time.

But some of the neighbors around him also went to the wealthy families to work as tenant farmers, and these people rented the landlord's land.

In the past, it was smooth sailing, but I was able to accumulate a lot of surplus food.

However, in the past few years, due to the lack of water, more than half of the harvest in the fields has been reduced.

The rest were taken by the landlord's family, and what finally arrived in their hands was enough for them to barely make ends meet.

There are also some unlucky ones who have been busy all year long, and in the end they don't even have food to feed themselves.

If you don't have anything, what can you do to buy water?

Originally, drinking water was directly in the well or into the river, and it didn't cost half a penny, but now drinking saliva is more expensive than anything else.

Who can have so much food or money?

The earth gradually flooded the hole.

They thought of the expectant children at home who had chapped lips and couldn't even secrete saliva in their mouths.

I remembered the clothes at home that were dirty and dark, but I didn't dare to wash them because of lack of water.

I saw these people in front of me who were cleaned up and didn't know what to eat.

Envy.

Eat one's heart out.

Hatred.

At this moment, anger was intertwined in their hearts, and anger almost dominated all their sanity.

Not surprisingly, the two groups fought.
