"That's your business!"
Zhao Bingzhen laughed and raised his eyebrows at Zhao Rui.
"Master, you, you, are too thief!"
Hearing these words, and looking at his master's expression, Zhao Rui
instantly understood what kind of abacus Zhao Bingzhen was playing.
"roll--"
Zhao Bingzhen stared at him again.
"Master, if you are like this, aren't you afraid that the old button in the
clan man's mansion will trouble you?"
"Speaking as if I didn't do this, he wouldn't bother me!"
Zhao Bingzhen sneered, "I want a knighthood, but I want to change the way of
playing, and want to break my wrists with the three men of Xu Mansion."
"But why is it now?"
"Where are so many and why?"
"Let you do whatever you want, remember to show your master and mine with
great fanfare!"
Zhao Bingxi smiled slightly, "Everyone calls me Zhao Caishen. But I don't want
to think about it. How can my dignified God of Wealth not hold the world's
wealth? As for why it is now, it's just because the time is just right now!"
"Ha ha……"
Zhao Rui felt that he was fooling a fool with the explanation of his master.
Well, he is the one being fooled right now, and he is the fool.
...
Zhao Rui, the steward next to Master Zhao Er, suddenly disappeared from Sanhe
Town without telling the old Xu's family.
When Boss Xu got the news, he went to report to his father.
"Leave them alone!"
"By the way, you go to town and close our restaurant first!"
"This is off? It's too early, right?"
"It's getting late, wait any longer, it's going to cause trouble."
"The price of rice in the county seat has risen by 30%."
"Your fourth uncle has already prepared to issue an official document,
prohibiting food collection."
"Restaurants like ours are closed only these few days."
"Understood, I will go to town now."
Boss Xu nodded in response, turned around and set off.
Not long after Mr. Xu left, Mr. Xu came back from the river with a load of
water and watered the old turtles and giant mussels who had settled in his
house. As the weather gets hotter and hotter, in order to ensure that there is
water in the small puddle, Xu Lao Er now picks three to four times a day.
Counting his own water, Xu Lao Er now has to pick seven or eight times a day
for water alone.
"Father, this situation is not right!"
Older Xu poured water on the old turtle and mussel, put the bucket in place,
and found him directly in front of him.
"What's wrong?"
"I just went diving and found that the surface of the Taohua River had dropped
a lot, and the water didn't seem to flow."
"I wondered, someone from the upper reaches of the river cut off the water,
right?"
After Xu Lao Er finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Mr. Xu.
Old man Xu looked bitter and said, "It must be the people in Shangxi Village
who cut off the Taohua River. This group of crippled calves has come here
again. They did it like this 20 years ago, and they do it now!"
When the old man Xu finished speaking, Guan Laoqi's call came from outside the
courtyard of the old Xu's house.
"Old and young men, copy guys, grab water!"
"It's your man, follow along!"
"The deflated calves of Shangxi Village, cut the Taohua River again!"
...
With Guan Laoqi's yelling, the whole Lingshui Village boiled.
A group of people carrying poles and clubs gathered in a mighty stream, and
under the leadership of Guan Laoqi, they walked towards the Peach Blossom
River.
Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu were also in the crowd. At this time, as long as they were
the people of Lingshui Village, no one would hide behind.
In a year of severe drought, water cut is killing people.
However, when the people of Lingshui Village got to the Taohua River, they saw
a crowd of people on the river bank yelling and going upstream along the
Taohua River.
This is the common people of Yinghe Village below Lingshui Village.
A Peach Blossom River flows through many villages.
Shangxi Village is located in the upper reaches, and their village was able to
cut off the Taohua River because the section of the river through which the
Taohua River flows through their village has a narrow channel with turbulent
water.
When the river is abundant, it is difficult to block this narrow passage.
But once the water level of the Taohua River drops, it will not be so
difficult to cut off the Taohua River.
As long as a few tree trunks are tied to everything, and the trunk can be
stuck in a narrow channel, the river can be cut off with one root of the tree
trunk, and only a small amount of river water will flow out along the gaps in
the trunks.
Of course, if Shangxi Village does it harder and gets some sandbags, it can
completely block the Taohua River.
Twenty years ago, Shangxi Village completely blocked the Taohua River and
triggered a fight between Shangxi Village and Lingshui Village. People in both
villages were dead.
At that time, Mr. Xu happened to go hunting in the mountains and missed the
fight.
Guan Laoqi's father also had a crippled leg in this fight, and he died within
a few years.
This time, it was discovered that Shangxi Village had once again cut off the
Taohua River, Guan Laoqi immediately went mad, and immediately summoned all
the young and old in the village to prepare to go to Shangxi Village for a big
fight.
It's just that no one thought that the people in Yinghe Village below actually
robbed them in front of them.
"Old seven brothers, your speed is too slow!"
Jia Gentian, the village leader of Yinghe Village, took them with the old and
young men of Yinghe Village, and soon went hand in hand with the villagers of
Lingshui Village.
"You guys are coming soon this year!"
Guan Laoqi didn't have a good impression of Jia Gentian.
The two villages once competed for land for the village boundary, and they
also did a battle.
"Old seven brothers, what's up, do you still hold grudges?"
Jia Gentian slapped haha, "I'll make up for you for what happened that year.
Now this matter is over, I will ask you to drink and I will make amends for
you!"
"Humph!"
Guan Laoqi snorted proudly.
But this voice can be regarded as an abolition of past grievances.
People from the two villages gathered together and soon reached the narrow
road that cut off the Taohua River in Shangxi Village. What is unexpected is
that there are really a lot of people guarding Shangxi Village. Look at this
posture, it is not just the people of Shangxi Village.
Guan Laoqi and the others have joined the villagers of Yinghe Village, the
young and old from the two villages, but there are more people on the opposite
side.
"Old Seven Brothers!"
"Don't be impulsive!"
Jia Gentian looked at the posture on the opposite side, and immediately
grabbed Guan Laoqi.
Obviously, it was not only Shangxi Village who decided to cut off Taohuaxi,
but the upper-class villages reached a consensus.
"Battle bastard, play with yin!"
Guan Laoqi also discovered this situation.
If a battle is going on now, their manpower is obviously not enough.
"Brother Xu, what do you think?"
Guan Laoqi ignored Jia Gentian next to him, but looked at Father Xu.
He knew the ability of Mr. Xu.
If the old man Xu came forward, then perhaps he could be the first to take the
lead and knock down the opposing momentum.
"Retreat!"
Elder Xu glanced at the hands of the people on the ground, and without
thinking about it, he gave such an answer directly.
He understood what Guan Laoqi meant.
But the problem now is that if you want to suppress the opposing momentum,
unless it is a one-shot kill, you can use the brutal and overbearing killing
to defeat the opponent's momentum in an instant.
Otherwise, just hurting or repelling people will only irritate the other
party, which is useless.
