After drinking this glass of wine, Xiao Qingfeng continued: "It seems that the water sources in each village were very tight at that time, so every time there was a drought, there would often be fierce fights over water. At this point, Brother Wolf and Second Brother should be somewhat impressed. ”

Lone Wolf said: "Yes, I remember that when I was a child, it was true, and every time there was a major drought, there would be more or less friction between the villages, and sometimes there would even be some large-scale fights. ”

Xiao Qingfeng said: "It is said that at that time, Yang Laoliu and his village originally had a reservoir, just below the hill in the south of the village, which stored a large amount of rainwater coming down from the mountain on weekdays, and generally speaking, it was barely enough for their own village. But the two villages adjacent to each other to the east and west do not have any decent reservoirs, and only a few large wells are used to irrigate the farmland on weekdays. This is fine in a normal year when the wind and rain are good, but when it comes to a year of great drought, it can be dumbfounded. So they often secretly go to other people's reservoirs to open the sluice gate and release water without permission, so that of course, people will definitely not be willing. Originally, these water were not enough for the people themselves, so how could they give it to them again. You know, farmland was the most fatal foundation of the whole village at that time. ”

The doll said: "Are they going to fight because of this, and won't the local government at that time mediate with them?"

The dumb man said: "About this kind of thing at that time, you little doll will never understand, Brother Wolf and I have indeed seen this kind of big scene with our own eyes when we were children." A fight for water like that is not a simple fight between three or five people or seven or eight people, but a large-scale fight of hundreds or thousands of people. Even the local government couldn't completely suppress it, because at that time, the real water source could be said to be a major matter related to the life and death of every village. At that time, the local government could not really send troops to bring all the people involved in the armed fight to justice, and it could only be a symbolic deterrent. ”

The doll said: "I'll go, what's wrong with the people at that time, won't all the brains be in the water." ”

Jingxin said: "Forget it, as the second brother said, you won't really understand the social background at that time, let's listen to Hou Ye and continue to talk about it." ”

Xiao Qingfeng said: "It is said that that year was another year of great drought, and it is said that from the Mid-Autumn Festival to the Spring Festival in the previous year, there was not a drop of rain or snow in the local area for one hundred and twenty or thirty days. At this moment, the peasants in the nearby villages were panicked. Just after the New Year, Yang Laoliu and the young adults in his village, under the leadership of the village cadres, took turns to guard the reservoir. As soon as the spring thaws, I hurriedly rushed to water the farmland in the village first, and let the crops top for a while for the time being. Of course, they did this just to take precautions, and the two villages in the east and west came to steal water as in previous years. But even so, when it was just thawed, the farmers in the east and west villages really came to grab water. Of course, the young and middle-aged people in their village, Yang Laoliu, didn't agree with anything, and went home one after another to ask someone to pick up the guys and rush to the reservoir, ready to fight with those people from other villages who came to grab water. Not to be outdone, the people of the other two villages went back and asked someone to copy the guy and came to the dam gate of the reservoir. ”

He said quietly: "What's the matter, are they really going to fight? If they really fight, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as three or two people being injured and bleeding, and if they don't get it, they will really kill people." I remember reading a movie about the fighting for water in the countryside at that time, and the description in it was really shocking, and every fight was simply a great burst of primitive human nature. ”

Xiao Qingfeng said: "This time, due to a rare drought, almost all the young and middle-aged people in the three villages have been dispatched, and it seems that this large-scale weapon fight is inevitable. Even the police from the police station who rushed to the police station at that time were powerless, because they could not squeeze in at all, and could not reach the core area of the dam gate, let alone effectively persuade the villagers. Although Yang Laoliu said that his village is larger, there are relatively more young and middle-aged people, and they occupied the dam first

The terrain is favorable, but now they are one-on-two, after all, the combined strength of the two villages is still much greater than theirs. In this way, if it is really a scuffle, they will naturally not be able to take any real advantage. As the scolding between the two sides became more and more intense, and their respective men and horses gathered more and more, a large-scale weapon fight was inevitable. ”

Mengshan Turtle said: "I think at this time, it's time for that old friend of yours to make a move, this meeting is almost over, and this heat is strong enough." ”

Xiao Qingfeng said: "Yes, at this critical moment, this Yang Lao Liu came out of nowhere. I saw that he first turned around quickly on both sides of the confrontation, and before everyone on the scene could react, he had already snatched all the young and middle-aged guys who were in the front of the two sides like a ghost. By the time everyone saw that it was him, he had already jumped to the top of the gate. Just when everyone was puzzled and didn't understand what kind of medicine he was buying in his gourd, I saw that he first threw all the big bundles of sticks and earth guns that he snatched from everyone's hands into the reservoir behind him, and then transported the dantian qi to say something to everyone. After he finished speaking, everyone suddenly fell silent, and the situation finally stabilized temporarily. Even the police officers at the police station in the distance exhaled a long breath, knowing that if this really started, it was estimated that it would not be as simple as killing one or two people. Although this was not unusual at the time, it was really hard to say whether such a big incident would have happened in their jurisdiction, whether their skin would have been able to be saved. ”

The doll said: "What did Yang Lao Liu tell everyone, he was able to temporarily stabilize all of them, and he is not the dragon king who is in charge of precipitation, and he can really solve the fundamental problem for everyone." Besides, no matter how powerful he is, the two sides of the family are embraced, I'm afraid he can't really beat everyone back. You must know that no matter how powerful a person is, when it comes to large-scale melee, the real power will not be displayed. ”

Jing said: "Don't say it, our little doll's words are really a bit reasonable, and this is indeed the case." This is just like what our contemporary writer Mr. Jin Yong said in his book "Dragon Babu", Xiao Feng. No matter how high a person's martial arts are, it is very small in a real large-scale melee, at best, it can only keep his whole body out, and he is really powerless for the entire melee. ”

The little Taoist priest said: "Okay, my young master of Nangong, let's listen to what Yang Lao Liu said at that time." As for the rest of the stuff, we'll talk about it later, okay?"

Hearing the little Taoist priest say this, Jing Xin smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

At this time, Xiao Qingfeng continued: "At that time, Yang Lao Liu told everyone that if he could fish out the stone tablet that sank to the bottom of the reservoir a few years ago, everyone would listen to his arrangement, and no one could have any objections. As soon as he said this, the leaders of the three villages really immediately made a heavy oath, as long as he could really do it, everyone would really listen to him. Even if this season, all the crops in the village are drought. ”

The doll said: "What is the stone tablet, what is the situation, why is everyone so honest when they hear this?"

Xiao Qingfeng said: "It turns out that the local people have passed down the old story, saying that as early as the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the local people were in order to prevent floods and fight drought, and everyone spontaneously raised funds to dig and build this reservoir next to an ancient spring that does not dry up all year round. It is said that it was these three nearby villages that contributed the most at that time, and after the construction of the reservoir was completed, a stone monument was erected next to the dam of the reservoir. It not only records in detail the money and manpower of each village, but also clearly writes down several township covenants on it, of course, which are generally regulations on how to distribute water in a year of great drought. ”

Mengshan Turtle said: "No wonder everyone was temporarily quiet when they heard Yang Lao Liu say this, so that's the case." Since there has long been such a stone tablet as evidence, then everyone will return

What to fight for, just act directly according to the above agreement. ”

Xiao Qingfeng said: "You don't know, this stone tablet sank into the reservoir for unknown reasons many years ago. In fact, this is also one of the main reasons why the two villages in the east and west come to fight desperately for water every year of great drought, because they believe that the stone tablet is deliberately pushed into the reservoir by the villagers of Yang Laoliu and his village, in order to monopolize this water source. However, this is not the case, and even the villagers of Yang Laoliu and their village really don't know why this stone tablet suddenly disappeared, but they only guess that it should have fallen into the water below. However, after so many years, no matter how the water level rises and falls, there has been no trace of the stone tablet again. ”

The doll said: "Then whether Yang Lao Liu has succeeded in fishing out that stone tablet, you must know that since that guy can be called a stone tablet, I am afraid that he must weigh at least a few hundred catties and thousands of years." Even if it was, Yang Lao Liu really knew its specific location, when it was just over the New Year, did he really dare to go down to the cold water to fish. Besides, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to succeed with his strength alone, what a lot of strength and perseverance. ”

Xiao Qingfeng said: "Don't say it, after hearing the three leaders make a heavy oath, Yang Lao Liu really took off all his clothes outside, just wearing a pair of tight pants and holding a hemp rope, and jumped into the cold water at once." I saw that after changing his qi seventeen or eighteen times in a row, he was really stiff and dragged a stone tablet more than one person high to the water's edge. At this moment, everyone was stunned, so timid that they didn't even dare to breathe. I saw that after people were stunned for a while, more than a dozen strong men rushed down, and hurriedly helped Yang Lao Liu to drag the stone tablet to the dam. As a result, everyone was really silent. I saw that Yang Lao Liu smiled, first put on the clothes handed over by the person next to him, and then asked people to find some hay, and wiped the mud on the front of the stele vigorously, until all the words on it were clearly revealed, and then said coldly, "I don't need to talk nonsense, you can take a good look at it yourself, just do it according to this." I don't care who you are, as long as you dare to violate the rules set by the ancestors above, and the oath you just made, then don't blame my old man for turning his face and being ruthless. When the time comes, how can I fish up this stone tablet, how can I tie that person with bad rules to this stone tablet and sink it again!' After saying that, he pushed away the crowd around him and walked away directly in a sneer. ”

The doll said: "My god, this Yang Lao Liu is really a strange person, why is he so powerful! It is estimated that the people at that time were suddenly thundered by him, such a cold day, and they were able to get such a heavy stone tablet from under the water, even if we saw it, I am afraid we would be frightened by him, it is really unimaginable." ”

The dumb man said: "I guess he should have figured out the specific location of this stone tablet in advance, and he had already done something in the water below, and he deliberately waited until this critical moment to get it out." But even so, this senior's skills are indeed a bit admirable, and it is absolutely difficult for ordinary people to do it. ”

Xiao Qingfeng said: "The second brother is really powerful, and he did tell me later, all of this was designed by him a long time ago." Because he had heard about it for a long time, there were often large-scale fights in this place because of the water supply, and he had seen it himself several times. So, he's been secretly trying to figure out how to eradicate this bad habit. Finally, one day, he overheard the story of the stone tablet, so he began to search for it secretly. Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and as early as a year ago, he found the specific location of this stone stele. It happened that there was a great drought this year, and he calculated that there would definitely be a large-scale fighting again, so he secretly moved the stone tablet to a specific location under the dam. When it was really about to happen in a large-scale fight, he unexpectedly directed and acted in this play, and sure enough, everyone was calmed down at once. ”
