Chapter 9 Drought Is Coming

Soon after the meal, people came to the family.

Headed by the village chief, he brought a few people in the village who were close friends with the Liu family to visit Mr. Liu.

At night last night, the news that Mr. Liu fell down the mountain and was seriously injured spread all over the village in an instant.

Due to the diagnosis of the barefoot doctor, all kinds of rumors arose, and the most popular one was that Mr. Liu would not survive that night.

In particular, some of the three aunts and six grandmothers in the village with broken mouths described the scene vividly and vividly. They had a hole the size of a sea bowl in their head, their faces were covered in blood, and people were not angry at that time... It was scary.

If the Liu family hadn't returned to the Li family's ox cart early this morning, and some people saw the Liu family brothers going to work on the ground, they wouldn't even know they had returned.

And things don't seem to be as serious as rumored? Otherwise, Liu Dalin and Liu Erlin would still be in the mood to work in the field?

You must know that Mr. Liu's family is well-known in the village, and the famous father is kind and filial, and the family is harmonious.

So after getting the news, the group found a free time at noon to come over.

One is to visit, the other is to see the situation.

However, when they saw that Mr. Liu was full of energy and full of energy, everyone in the group was shocked.

"Brother Liu, are you... alright?" The village chief, Liu Jinfu, looked like he was in his forties, with a short beard, and he seemed calm and shrewd, but at this time, it seemed unfavorable to speak because he was too shocked.

Before I came here, I thought that maybe Mr. Liu's injury would not be fatal, but he fell so hard that a scoop was opened on his head. Why should he be lying on the bed dying?

Could it be that the news was wrong, and Mr. Liu was not seriously injured at all?

"Hahaha, it's great, it's great, if it wasn't for my wife and my family, I would be able to work in the field." The old man smiled and mentioned his precious granddaughter with pride and pride, "This time it is indeed I walked through the gate of hell for a while, if it wasn't for my little girl, I would have disappeared..."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly spat at him, "What nonsense are you talking about, blah blah blah blah! It's not lucky!"

Although the old man is in good spirits now, he still has lingering fears from last night's thrilling heart. Just thinking about how Doctor Hu asked them to go home to prepare for the funeral, his heart is still pounding and oozing panic!

Liu Jinfu and a few villagers looked at each other, "Is it really that big? Is it related to Xiao Nannan? What's going on?"

Hey, Mrs. Liu came to the spirit right away, hugged his little girl and began to drool, adding fuel to the scene at that time, and Mrs. Liu added a few words from time to time, stunned to say his good granddaughter The blessed doll of the world.

Liu Yusheng silently covered his face in the old man's arms, "Master, you are a bit of a fool.

The village chief looked at her with evil eyes.

She was only two years old when she was born, she couldn't say anything, she could only blink her eyes and pretend to be ignorant.

"I didn't expect that there is such a thing. Your family is really lucky, good, good! It looks so well-behaved and sensible, unlike the two in my family, who are four or five years old, see you. God only knows how to catch chickens and drive dogs."

"Isn't that the monkey in my house. It's six years old, and it can't do anything but play crazy, and it won't be put on the roof for three days!"

"It's still a well-behaved girl, sensible and considerate."

...

After showing off his good granddaughter, Mr. Liu was in high spirits, and his face was almost flushed. He was about to speak again when hurried shouts came from outside the yard.

"Village Chief! Village Chief! Something has happened, you have to go and see! The villagers are fighting with Xiapo Village!"

"It's a cow." Liu Jinfu's face condensed and he stood up, "Brother Liu, you have a good rest, I'll go take a look."

Mr. Liu hurriedly said, "Go quickly, don't let them make a big deal!"

The few people who came with them also walked out one after another, scolding, "It's downhill village again! Those son of a bitch must have blocked the water upstream again!"

In an instant, the lively house was empty.

The atmosphere also became a little depressing.

Mrs. Liu couldn't sit still, "You said that the people in this downhill village are too savage! There is only one river in the neighboring villages that can irrigate crops. They block the river above, so how can the crops live below? Rely on them. The village is in the upper reaches, doing such immoral things, a group of plagues! Seeing that the crops will be harvested in one month, at this time, the water is cut off, which will kill the farmers! Don't fight!"

"What can be done? This year's drought in Nanling has caused water shortages in many places. I heard that there is already a famine in the north." Mr. Liu sighed, "Let's just say that the Qinghe River on the edge of our village, although there is still water. , In fact, the water level is already very low, and in my opinion, it will dry up in a short time, and I am afraid that there will be a major event by then."

Liu Yusheng listened silently, and a heavy stone was pressed down in his heart.

The peasants depend on the sky for their food, and God does not honor them, not to mention that the crops are not harvested, and whether people can survive or not is a problem.

Now the people of the two villages have been arguing over the water issue. If the situation does not improve, what will happen is almost predictable.

She has no compassion in the world, she only worries about her grandparents.

Even if she has space, in this big environment, can she be alone?

"No, I have to go and have a look. Our land is right by the Qinghe River. The eldest and the second have just gone to work. I'm worried that they will also get involved." Mrs. Liu went out.

"Come back! What's the use of being an old woman? Don't join in the fun, if we bump into each other, our family will be in chaos," Mr. Liu hurriedly stopped, "The village chief has passed, how will things end? There will be a saying, besides, the eldest and the second are such adults, they do things in a measured way! If you are really worried, I will go and see!"

Madam Liu, who was flamboyant, was dumbfounded.

The old man just walked through the gate of hell, let him go? She was even more worried.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the two brothers who went to work to return.

It just doesn't look good.

"How is it? Those people in Xiapo Village still refuse to open the river?" As soon as the people entered the door, Mrs. Liu greeted them and was relieved to see that there were no signs of injury on the brothers.

Liu Erlin scooped up a ladle of water from the water tank and drank it happily, before scolding, "Those grandchildren refuse to open the way to release water, and now the water supply for our downstream crops has stopped! The village chief can't even run over. The top thing, the village chief of Xiapo Village didn't even show a face, and made it clear that those people were allowed to make trouble! Anyway, it's not them who suffer! A bunch of bastards, I bah! I am so anxious that I chopped them all up with a knife!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Dalin glared at him and comforted Mrs. Liu, "The village chief is already trying to figure out a way, but if it doesn't work, they will go to the yamen. Qinghe is shared by several villages, and now people in Xiapo Village do not To be reasonable, if you want to cut everyone's way out, when you get to the yamen, they will justify their losses, and they will definitely be able to solve it."
