Chapter 550: Miraculous Water

Because, this is the first time McClair has killed someone. He actually killed the two people directly in front of the public, without even giving them a chance to explain.

If this happened to other villagers, the next moment, without the village chief's order, countless villagers would rush forward, push the murderer to the ground, and hand it over to the village chief. But it was not ordinary people who killed people, but the great benefactor of the entire Meteor Village, the great benevolent man McClair.

Since ten years ago, the water in Meteor Village has been cut off, because for some unknown reason, the river has dried up, the well water has dried up, and Meteor Village at that time, due to its remote location, it is impossible to rely on manpower to get water. The rivers around them were all dried up, not a drop of water remained, the ground was parched, and the crops died.

It can be said that at that time, Meteor Village was almost in a desperate situation of life and death, and no matter which family in the whole village, whether poor or expensive, was living in panic, and people were panicked and could not live all day.

Later, if it weren't for McClair, a miner who made a living from mining, who stepped forward and was willing to find a new water source for the villagers to leave the village, Meteor Village would probably have ceased to exist, let alone maintained to such a good extent as it is today.

At first, when McClair brought back such two buckets of water for the first time, everyone thought that McClair had bought it from the small town north of Meteor Village, and they didn't believe that it was the water source that McClair had found from the mountains. According to the villagers who have returned from doing business in the small town, the water in their city has not been cut off, and the water in the rivers and deep wells is very sufficient, and they can buy it with money.

But when many villagers who thought this way left the village, trying to use themselves as evidence to confirm their guesses, they found that there was indeed a small city north of the village, but it was too far away from the village, let alone them, even if McClair had good physical strength and fast feet, it was impossible to reach that small city on foot.

Because there are two mountains between the village and the town, you don't even want to get there if you don't have a week or so. Every time McClair went out to bring water back to the village, it only took three days at most to return, which shows that these people's speculations are not true.

As a result, all the villagers of Meteor Village fully believed McClair's words, and he did go to the mountains to find a new water source by himself.

But with the water, new problems have arisen. McClair only goes out once a month, but he only brings back two buckets of water every month, and all the villagers in Meteor Village have at least one or two hundred people combined. It is a little too impractical to rely on these two buckets of water to feed everyone in the village for a whole month.

This speculation was also a concern shared by the village chief and all the other villagers at the time.

"It doesn't matter. You don't have to worry about that. Two buckets of water are enough for the village to last for a month. We only need one bucket of water for these two buckets. The other bucket can be used to take care of crops and deal with some accidents. ”

McClair replied when he brought back the bucket for the first time, and when he said this, his hearty laughter immediately echoed in all directions, and the villagers all looked surprised and suspicious.

At this moment, McClair seemed to have discovered the unbelief of the villagers, smiled slightly, took out a wooden water scoop from the basket he was carrying behind him, and then took out a wooden cylindrical cup from the backpack on his waist, carefully poured a glass, put it in front of everyone, and then asked loudly: "I want to ask you, may I ask which of you usually has the best amount of wine and the largest amount of food?"

When the villagers heard this, you look at me, I look at you, they didn't know what McClair's words meant, and they all started talking about it, but none of them stepped forward. ...,

Seeing this, McClair smiled again, not angry, and didn't care about the suspicious looks of the villagers, but just took a deep breath, raised his voice again, and said loudly: "I know what everyone is thinking. Don't worry, there's no poison in this water, if you don't believe it, I'll take a sip myself. ”

After speaking, McClair did not wait for the villagers to ask, but directly drank all the water in the wooden wine glass, and then, carefully poured another glass, before he continued: "My father told me before that seeing is believing and hearing is false.

Everything has to be seen with one's own eyes to prove to be true. So, I want to ask a friend out for a glass of water now, I don't know if that brother dares to come and try it? I have already drunk this water just now, it is not poisonous, you can rest assured. ”

"I'm coming!" This time, McClair's words finally had an effect, and as soon as the question was spoken, a tall farmer walked out of the crowd. Although he is significantly inferior in size and body compared to McClair, he is still very strong and even burly compared to ordinary villagers.

"Good. Seeing that the relationship between the visitor and himself was not bad, McClair immediately nodded slightly, smiled and handed the wooden cup in his hand to the other party. After Dahan took it, he was not polite, let alone nonsense, he drank it all directly, and then turned the empty wooden cup upside down and motioned it to the surrounding villagers to watch.

The next moment, he was going to ask McClair, what are you asking me to drink such a little water, but he didn't expect that his mouth had just opened, and his body trembled involuntarily, and then, he hiccuped, and then, he couldn't ask what he was thinking just now, and his two big eyes couldn't help but stare at him, and his face was full of shock.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

"Erhu, what's wrong with you?"

The surrounding villagers suddenly looked surprised when they saw Erhu, and thought that the water was really poisonous, and they all looked at Erhu with nervous expressions, and the words of concern and worry in their mouths kept ringing.

"I'm fine. Don't worry. ”

When Erhu heard this, he immediately wanted to answer, but he tried several times but failed, and after a long time, he finally came to his senses, took a long breath, and smiled at the villagers around him who cared about him. The villagers were puzzled and immediately asked in unison, "What's the matter?"

"Of course it's not poisonous. Otherwise, where would I be able to laugh? Haha......ha

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding villagers were relieved, but they were even more puzzled, and after a moment of silence, they asked in unison again: "Then what did you do just now......

However, before they finished speaking, they were interrupted by Erhu, who suddenly saw his eyes light up, looked at everyone excitedly, and slowly explained: "I was surprised that this water is magical! It was just a small cup, and it made me feel as if I had drunk a whole big bucket, which was incredible." If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself. But don't drink too much, or you'll ......."

At this point, Erhu still wanted to say more, but where was there anyone in the surrounding villagers who was willing to listen to his nonsense anymore, they had already been overjoyed by his first half of the explanation just now, and they were eager to try, and they didn't wait for Erhu to remind them, so they rushed to McClair's body.

So far, the villagers have been grateful and grateful to McClair from this day. From this day on, Meteor Village also regained its vitality, regained its vitality, and came out of the shadow of death. But there has been no reasonable answer to the question of where Myclair's water comes from, and what makes it so magical.

Even now, ten years later, no one can say why. Even Myclair himself didn't know why this water was so magical, he only knew the origin of this water. ...,

Of course, for a whole ten years, it is not that no one wonders why the effect of the water can be used as ten, and even many people have gone to great lengths to climb mountains and mountains, go deep into the mountains, visit the prophet and beg for answers, and McClair once did the same.

However, no matter who they were, the answer was the same, and the answer given by the prophet was the same sentence: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”

After listening to the same answer hundreds of times, the villagers up and down Meteor Village gave up their in-depth study of the effect of the water. However, not everyone can be reconciled, let's just say that the gambler who was killed by McClair just now, he is the most unwilling one among them.

At first, he also planned to follow McClair to secretly find out the source of the water, and then, taking advantage of the gap where no one was noticing, he secretly fetched some of the water back and took it to other villages or other cities to sell. But he had only been following Myclair for a day, and he gave up this plan because the road was too difficult and the mountain road was too difficult to walk.

But he was not willing to let such a good opportunity to make money slip through his fingers, so he thought of asking the prophet about the principle of the formation of this water, and then tried to prepare it himself. Unfortunately, though, he failed. If this is all the way things go, then he will at best give up and not focus on McClair.

But at this time, Myclair once again surprised all the villagers of Meteor Village, including him. When McClair brought back the strange spring water from the mountains, he brought back the same amount of wine from the mountains one day five years later.

These wines not only taste good, but also have a natural appearance, as if they were naturally formed in nature, full of natural aromas, and the aroma of the wine is refreshing.

It was from this time that McClair's wine became the man's new target. But once again, the man failed, neither the origin of the wine nor the principle of its brewing could be ascertained from the mouth of the prophet.

As soon as he thought of this, the man was immediately disheartened and wanted to commit suicide, because he owed too much money, and the deadline for repaying gambling debts had expired. However, it was at this time that he was lucky enough to hear the news that there was a blind man in the next village who wanted to buy a woman to marry.

This is the reason why he suddenly changed the target from McClair to Sister John, and it is also the reason why McClair didn't say a word just now, and directly killed the killer. Of course, the reason why the villagers didn't dare to question McClair, and not even one of them dared to speak out, was not only because of McClair's strength, but also because his kindness to the entire Meteor Village was too great.

If it weren't for McClair, there would be no Meteor Village now. How could they open their mouths and question a man who had been so kind to the village?

Of course, if McClair is usually evil, does all kinds of evil, and is a pure evil person, then even if the villagers are too frightened by McClair's sudden murder to speak out, they will definitely not be able to help but talk behind their backs. But McClair is not a villain, on the contrary, his usual personality and style are very decent, and he can't find any fault at all.

Therefore, seeing Myclair's sudden killing, the villagers were only surprised, but did not mean to blame, let alone blame McClair. Because, they all believe that even a person as good as McClair can't help but kill someone, and it must be that those two people have done something unforgivable to him.

However, Rao is like this, and there are still bold people who can't help but ask McClair after being silent for a few seconds, but in the end, they are only halfway talked, and they are stopped in time by the words of the old village chief.

At this moment, I heard the old village chief suddenly cough, and slowly explained to all the villagers who were frightened on the spot: "Don't be afraid. Don't be nervous. I think everyone knows McClair better than I do. Zhang San and Li Si must have made some big mistake before they were killed by McClair. They deserved to die.

Presumably, everyone also knows Zhang San's personality, right? He is usually a gambler, and I think it must have something to do with his gambling. So, don't be afraid, this matter has nothing to do with us. Now, now that the matter has been settled, what are we doing in a daze? Go home and get some water and wine. Do you want McClair to stand with us here until dawn?"

As soon as these words came out, the tense atmosphere was immediately resolved by the old village chief, and the villagers were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly realized, nodded with bright eyes, and went home to get the utensils for water and wine.

It was only then that the irrepressible anger on McClair's face finally disappeared as if the unpleasant thing had not happened as if it had not happened and had not affected everyone's mood in the slightest.

At the same time, he smiled, and finally let out a hearty laugh again, and while carefully distributing the water in the bucket to each family, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry. Every family has it. Come, it's yours, it's yours, and yours, no one will be missing......"
