"That's your deal!"
Zhao Bingzhen chuckled and raised his eyebrows at Zhao Rui.
"Master, you, you, are so thief!"
After hearing these words and looking at his master's expression, Zhao Rui instantly understood what Zhao Bingzheng was planning.
"roll-"
Zhao Bingzheng glared at him again.
"Master, if you are like this, aren't you afraid that the old guy from the clan's mansion will cause trouble for you?"
"It's as if if I didn't do this, he wouldn't cause trouble for me!"
Zhao Bingzhen sneered, "I want the title, but I just want to change my style of play and compete with the three masters of the Xu family."
"But why now?"
“Where did so many come from and why?”
"Do whatever I ask you to do, and remember to show your master and my banner in a big way!"
Zhao Bingzhen smiled slightly, "Everyone in the world calls me Zhao God of Wealth. But don't think about it, how can I, the God of Wealth, not be in charge of the world's wealth? As for why now, it's just because the time is just right!"
"hehe… "
Regarding his master's explanation, Zhao Rui felt that it was a fool.
Well, he is the one being deceived right now, and he is the fool.
…
Zhao Rui, the steward next to Mr. Zhao Er, suddenly disappeared from Sanhe Town and did not hide it from the old Xu family.
When Boss Xu got the news, he went to report to his father.
"Don't worry about them!"
"By the way, you go to the town and close our restaurant first!"
"Shut it down now? Isn't it too early?"
"It's getting late. If we wait any longer, there will be trouble."
"The price of rice in the county has increased by 30%."
"Your fourth uncle has prepared to issue an official document prohibiting grain harvesting."
"Restaurants like ours will close in just a few days."
"I understand, I'm going to town right now."
Boss Xu nodded in agreement, turned around and set off.
Not long after Mr. Xu left, Mr. Xu came back from the river with a load of water to water the old turtles and giant river clams that 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 Laoer now has to carry water three to four times a day.
Including the water used at home, Xu Laoer now has to carry seven or eight trips every day just for water.
"Dad, this situation isn't quite right!"
Xu Laoer poured water on the old turtle and river clam, put the bucket away, and found it directly in front of Mr. Xu.
"What's wrong?"
"I just went diving and found that the water level of the Peach Blossom River has dropped a lot. It seems that the water can't flow."
"I was thinking, isn't it because someone upstream cut off the river?"
After Xu Laoer finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu said with a bitter look on his face: "The people from Shangxi Village must have cut off the Peach Blossom River. These bastards are doing this again. They did it twenty years ago, and they are doing it now!"
As soon as Mr. Xu finished speaking, Guan Laoqi's call came from outside the courtyard gate of Old Xu's house.
"Young and old gentlemen, you guys are trying to steal water!"
"It belongs to men, come along!"
"The bastards from Shangxi Village blocked the Peach Blossom River again!"
…
Following Guan Laoqi's shouts, the entire Lingshui Village was boiling.
A group of people carrying poles and sticks gathered in a large crowd, and under the leadership of Guan Laoqi, walked towards the Peach Blossom River.
Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu were also in the crowd. At this time, no one would hide behind as long as they were the people of Lingshui Village.
In a year of severe drought, cutting off water means killing people.
However, when the people of Lingshui Village arrived at the Taohua River, they saw a crowded group of people on the river bank shouting loudly and going up the Taohua River.
These are the people of Yinghe Village, located below Lingshui Village.
A peach blossom river flows through many villages.
Shangxi Village is located upstream, and the reason why their village can cut off the Taohua River is because the section of the Taohua River that flows through their village has a narrow channel with fast currents.
When the river is full, it is difficult to block this narrow channel.
But once the water level of the Taohua River drops, it is not that difficult to cut off the Taohua River.
As long as a few tree trunks are tied together and flowed down the river, the tree trunks can be stuck in the narrow channel, and the river can be cut off with each tree trunk. Only a small amount of river water will flow out along the gaps in the tree trunks.
Of course, if Shangxi Village was more ruthless and brought in some sandbags, it would be able to completely block the Taohua River.
Twenty years ago, Shangxi Village completely blocked the Taohua River, triggering a fight between Shangxi Village and Lingshui Village. People in both villages died.
At that time, Mr. Xu happened to be hunting in the mountains and missed the fight.
Guan Laoqi's father also lost his leg in this fight and died within a few years.
This time, when he discovered that Shangxi Village had cut off the Taohua River again, Guan Laoqi immediately went crazy and summoned all the young and old men in the village to prepare for a big fight in Shangxi Village.
But no one expected that the people from Yinghe Village below would actually get ahead of them.
"Brother Seventh, your speed is too slow!"
The village leader of Yinghe Village, Jia Gentian, led the old and young men of Yinghe Village to walk quickly, and soon they were on par with the villagers of Lingshui Village.
"You guys came quickly this year!"
Guan Laoqi has no good impression of Jia Gentian.
Two villages once fought for land over the village boundary, and they also had a fight.
"Brother Seventh, what's wrong? Do you still hold grudges?"
Jia Gentian laughed, "I will apologize to you for what happened that year. Now that it is over, I will treat you to a drink later and make amends to you!"
"snort!"
Guan Laoqi snorted proudly.
But this voice can be regarded as erasing the past grudges.
People from the two villages gathered together and soon arrived at the narrow road that cuts off the Taohua River in Shangxi Village. What is unexpected is that there are really many people guarding Shangxi Village. Looking at this posture, it is definitely not just the people from Shangxi Village.
Guan Laoqi and the others gathered the villagers of Yinghe Village, old and young men from the two villages, but there were more people on the opposite side.
"Old seventh brother!"
"Don't be impulsive yet!"
When Jia Gentian saw the posture on the other side, he immediately grabbed Guan Laoqi.
Obviously, it was not just Shangxi Village that decided to cut off Taohua Creek this time, but several villages upstream reached a consensus.
"You bastard, you are playing dirty!"
Guan Laoqi also discovered this situation.
If a war breaks out now, they obviously don't have enough manpower.
"Brother Xu, what do you think?"
Guan Laoqi ignored Jia Gentian next to him, but looked at Mr. Xu.
He knows what Mr. Xu is capable of.
If Mr. Xu comes forward, then he may be able to take the lead and knock down the opponent's momentum.
"Back off!"
Mr. Xu looked at the hands on the ground and gave this answer directly without thinking.
He understood what Guan Laoqi meant.
But the problem now is that if you want to suppress the opponent's momentum, you must kill it with one blow, and use the ruthless and domineering killing to defeat the opponent's momentum in an instant.
Otherwise, just injuring or repelling someone will only irritate the other person and be useless. (End of chapter)
