5 min read1,308 words
When it comes to fighting, Mr. Xu is an expert.
In gang fights, whether it is before or during the fight, if you want to
quickly win the upper hand, you must be cruel.
And once a ruthless hand is made, it is impossible not to kill anyone.
But under such circumstances, Mr. Xu has no reason to kill him.
Everyone is seeking a living because of drought and water competition.
But in order to fight for water, it was a fate, but it turned the cart before
the horse.
A fight twenty years ago caused pains that can never be erased or forgotten in
both villages.
"Brother Xu!"
Guan Laoqi looked at Father Xu with pleading in his eyes.
Old man Xu looked at Guan Laoqi with pleading gaze, sighed faintly, reached
out his hand to press the other's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Lao Qi, I know
you feel bad."
"But if I move my hands today, how many people will die on the other side,
have you thought about it?"
"They are all fathers, husbands, and sons."
"If anyone dies, no home will be complete!"
"Also, if the person on the other side goes mad, and I can't stop everyone
alone, how many people will die if the two sides fight each other? Have you
thought about it?
As for the folks in the village, there may still be in-law relationships
between the villages.
"I don't have the energy in my heart!"
Thinking that his father was lame and depressed because of the fight in
Shangxi Village, Guan Laoqi couldn't calm down.
"Brother, what are you waiting for?"
"It's time to avenge our father!"
Guan Laojiu suddenly jumped out and shouted, "It's your man, follow me!"
"Stop for me!"
Seeing that the crowd was mobilized by Guan Laojiu, Mr. Xu directly shouted
with a thunderous roar and stopped the crowd who was about to rush upwards.
The next moment, Father Xu stepped forward and walked out of the crowd alone,
facing only the villagers in Mianxi Village and other villages.
"Who's the matter, come out and chat!"
In this situation, the fight is bound to hurt both sides.
As for the retreat, the people in Lingshui Village and Yinghe Village are
definitely not reconciled.
Therefore, there is only one way left, and that is to talk.
Mr. Xu still had some credibility when he came forward.
After all, Father Xu was the seventh-rank Xiaoyi Lang who was bestowed by the
emperor. Although he had no real power, the seventh-rank was at the same level
as the county grandfather.
"Brother Xu!"
A person walked out of the crowd on the opposite side, who looked like old man
Xu at a young age. He had a bronze skin and a strong body. At first glance, he
was a very capable type.
"It is you!"
Father Xu looked at the person who stood up, really wondering what to say.
Lin Zhenshan.
The friendship with Mr. Xu is not a strange one, and the cause is still for
the prey in the mountains. It's just that compared with Niu Dali, Lin Zhenshan
obviously has more minds.
"Brother Xu, it's not that you're a younger brother who doesn't give you face,
but we people in Shangxi Village also have to survive."
"It's getting hotter and hotter, and it hasn't rained. The game in the
mountains has been reduced a lot since the beginning of spring."
"Without water, people in our villages can't live anymore."
As the village leader of Shangxi Village, Lin Zhenshan must also be considered
by the villagers. What's more, several villages upstream of them have also
found him, and they are willing to join them in Shangxi Village to guard the
cutoff of Taohua River.
"Yes, cut off the Taohua River, and you are all alive, so who will solve the
problem of the need for water in the villages below the Taohua River?"
"Are the people in the lower villages all damned?"
"Come, you answer me!"
"I……"
Lin Zhenshan was stunned, unable to answer this question.
Human nature is selfish.
He wanted to say whether the people in the downstream village should die, he
couldn't control it.
But Lin Zhenshan knew that he couldn't say this.
He knew that Mr. Xu had dealt with him.
Mr. Xu's methods, he has seen with his own eyes, and he admires them in his
heart. Similarly, he was also very afraid of Father Xu going crazy, because he
might really die.
"And you!"
Mr. Xu raised his hand to the villager standing opposite Lin Zhenshan.
"Do you think that it's not your business that the people in the village below
die?"
"Correct!"
"Yes!"
"The people in the village below are not dead, it's none of your business!"
"But think about it carefully, you can cut off the Taohua River to live. Then,
what can we people who live in the village below do to live?"
"You have parents, wives and children, and the people below!"
"God does not rain, this is a natural disaster!"
"Under the natural disaster, we should have worked together to tide over the
difficulties, but you cut the Peach Blossom River!"
"We want to live!"
Father Xu pulled his hand behind him, "Here, there are only people from
Lingshui Village and Yinghe Village."
"In Jingkou Village, Quarry Village, Shiqiao Village, Ba Niu Village... they
are not here now, it doesn't mean they won't come later!"
"Twenty years ago, we had a fight with you in Linshui Village and Shangxi
Village!"
"How many people were killed and injured in that event, from Shangxi Village,
think about it for yourself!"
Father Xu paused, and he was a little relieved as he looked at the people who
were already whispering on the opposite side.
"It's useless to talk too much. The key is that it's going to rain!"
"But now, it doesn't rain, what should I do?"
When Mr. Xu said these words, someone on the other side immediately picked up
questions.
"Yes, what if it doesn't rain? What can we do if we can't live?"
"What to do?"
Father Xu snorted, "Of course it is digging a well!"
"This underground, there is water!"
"The water in the Taohua River has been flowing for so many years, how much
water has leaked underground? Let's dig a well!"
Mr. Xu can be said to have had an instant, and he thought of a solution.
"Although it's a bit late to dig a well now, it's never too late to save
lives!"
"This Peach Blossom River, if you are willing to cut it off, then cut it off!"
"Our Lingshui Village is out of harmony!"
"The villages downstream come up, but you have to see how many lives you have
are willing to fill in it!"
"And you, Lin Zhenshan, the truncation of the Taohua River has spread to the
ears of the county grandfather. Are you leaders, can you please?"
After Mr. Xu finished speaking, he stopped talking, and turned around to greet
the young and old in Lingshui Village.
"Go, everyone, go back and dig the well!"
"Dig out the water one day earlier, let's live a good life one day soon!"
"Yes, yes, dig a well, dig a well!"
Xu Lao Er immediately screamed in the crowd, and he admired his father's
behavior just now.
Uh, a fly in the ointment, the gang of people on the opposite side, forget it,
let’s be considered a group of heroes for the time being!
"go back!"
Guan Laoqi thought a lot when Mr. Xu came forward to negotiate with the other
person.
Just as Mr. Xu said, how many companies want to cry when they really fight?
No matter, people are doing it, the sky is watching, and the conscience is
done. Sooner or later, the sky will accept it.
