Nongmen Space: A full-level villain dressed as a pitiful girl

Chapter 302 Who dares to control?

At this time, Xi'er's voice came from inside the car, "Old man, there are too many of us and we are tired from walking, can we go to your house to rest for a night?"

As soon as Xi'er spoke, the others stopped talking, and the old man looked embarrassed.

"Girl, it's not that my old man is not hospitable, it's because there is a shortage of food and water at home, I'm afraid I won't entertain you well."

"Don't worry, we're just staying for one night, and we bring our own food and water in the car."

"But the kang at home, are you used to living in it?"

"It's okay."

After finishing speaking, Baoyue got out of the car with a few ingots of silver in her hand, came to the old man, and handed over the silver.

"These are the rewards for you. If you don't have enough space in your house, you can arrange other people's houses in the village, but the sleeping place must be clean."

The old man swallowed his saliva while watching Yinzi, and hurriedly pushed back, "It's just a one-night stay, how can I ask for your money, if you don't mind, just follow the little old man, over there is our village."

Baoyue stuffed the money into his arms, "Take it, this is my lady's reward, you are lucky to meet my lady."

At this time, the old man didn't know what he meant, and he just thought it was a child saying that it is good to give money, but money can't buy what they want, and the crops will die of thirst without water. This is the painstaking effort of the farmers.

The convoy followed the old man into the village, and everyone in the village came out to watch.

No one was happy. They looked at the carriage with horror in their eyes. The old man waved at these people.

"Go back, these people are passers-by, here to borrow."

Hearing this, all the villagers breathed a sigh of relief. The people in the car got out of the car and looked at the buildings in the village. They couldn't believe that there was such a poor village in such a southern place.

They are all adobe houses, and those children who don't look good are all disheveled and have chapped lips.

Xi'er got out of the car, frowning, the old man asked his family to borrow chairs, benches and tables from the village, and set them up in the yard.

The owner's family stood awkwardly in the yard. Mrs. Luo felt distressed, and hurriedly asked Ji Xiangruyi to go to the car to get food and drink. Everyone sat in the yard, feeling like there were nails on their buttocks.

Xiao Jinnian sat next to Xi'er, there was water and wine in the car, everyone drank the wine instead of water.

The old man was invited to sit at the same table with Xiao Jian and the others, and Xiao Jian poured him a bowl of water and wine.

"Come on, I respect you."

"Guess, please be polite, it's because our family didn't entertain well."

At this time, Jixiang and Ruyi divided the dim sum brought in the car among the children and adults of the host family. They swallowed while looking at the dim sum, but they were reluctant to eat it.

The people around the wall and at the gate of the courtyard were also drooling.

Xiao Jian asked in puzzlement, "Old man, why is your village like this?"

The old man sighed, "It's not just our village, it's like this in many villages around our town."

"Oh why?"

The old man sighed again, maybe drinking some wine would strengthen his courage, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then stroked his sparse beard.

"It's a long story, I don't know when, a member Zhang came to the town. After he killed the mayor's family and left his hometown, he controlled the only water source here.
The water we drink here comes from the mountains not far away. I don’t know if it is spring water or river water. No one has ever entered the deep mountains. This member bought the outermost mountain.

People dug a big hole and cut off the water source there. The downstream river slowly dried up, and it became difficult for us to drink water. Later, it was also difficult to irrigate the land. "

"Didn't dig a well?"

"Yes, but I don't know why. After they cut off the water upstream, the well water gradually stopped flowing. Over the years, whether we planted crops or drank water, we all pointed to the rain on God."

"What did he cut off the water?"

"Sell it, it costs a penny and a catty of water, who can afford it?"

"Anyone buy it?"

"Yes, but they are all wealthy families, and those who are in business. Of course, people like us can't afford it."

Xiao Jian asked, "Then the water you usually drink is rainwater?"

"Yes, our village dug a big pit in the wasteland to store rainwater, but it's not enough for drinking and watering the land."

"No one cares about this?"

"Who dares to care? I heard that there are people in Zhang Yuan's family in the capital, and the county magistrate can't afford to mess with him."

"The county magistrate is a corrupt official?"

The old man shook his head, "I don't know, it seems neither good nor bad, a mediocre person."

Xiao Jian raised his eyebrows, "You don't get sick after drinking rainwater?"

"Boil it and drink it. What can I do? Fortunately, there are still firewood."

The others were very angry when they heard that, "Water is what people depend on for survival, but some people control it, so you can't look for water sources elsewhere, or dig a well or something?"

"I don't have the money to dig a well. It's good to be able to eat enough."

Xi'er only asked, "Where is that member's house?"

"To the south, eighty miles away, it used to be called Laishui Town, but now it's called Zhangjia Town. The largest family in the town is his house, and the gate is magnificent."

"Aside from dominating the water, what other immoral things has that family done?"

"There are many immoral things. He can dominate the water, and there is nothing else. But if there are beautiful girls in the village, they will be forced to work as maids in his house. They just eat and eat, and they don't get paid at all.

When the grain tax was collected, a bag of one hundred catties of grain was not enough, and his family had to let one bag make up twenty catties, otherwise they would be beaten. "

The more the old man talked, the angrier he became, and soon he accused the Zhang family of many crimes.

After the old man finished speaking, Xi'er nodded, "It's getting late, everyone, let's start a fire and cook. It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just be casual."

The old man was very embarrassed, Xiao Jian said to him, "You don't need to worry about the water, we have a way to solve it, we will make it in a while, you can eat it together."

Afterwards, Xiao Jian took the guards and left. The old man used this skill to ask the neighbors to help. The family vacated two rooms for them to clean, and distributed the money that Baoyue gave them to them.

It seems that this old man's family are all honest and responsible people, and they don't flatter and flatter rich people when they meet them. They are very honest and not greedy.

Xiao Jinnian leaned into Xi'er's ear and asked, "Auntie, are you going to deal with that Zhang Yuanwai tonight?"

"What, do you want to go?"

"Otherwise, why did Auntie propose to live in the old man's house?"

Xi'er pursed her lips, "You're very smart. You can't believe everything the old man says. Go and have a look first. If it's true, kill that family and break the water upstream. This is the simplest and most brutal way to solve the problem." method."

"Yeah, and the most effective"

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

Xiao Jinnian shook his head, "But I'm not afraid."

"Take you to kill people at night, dare you?"

"I don't have any psychological burden to kill bad people."

"Well, let's recharge your batteries."

"it is good"

Auntie was going to take herself out tonight, she was so excited, Xiao Jinnian was so happy, she went out to be a boy who spread money.

He distributed ten taels of silver to each family in the village, saying that he was asking them to buy water. In fact, he knew that after tonight, the village would no longer be short of water. This was his disguised aid.

Half an hour later, Xiao Jian came back with his guards, each carrying a bucket of water. He asked someone to put the water in the courtyard, and then came to Xi'er and said.

"I saw that dam, it's easy to break."

"Where did you buy the water?"

"Yes, I took people to destroy the dam at night?"

"No, you bring the guards. It's better to keep an eye on this place and protect everyone's safety. Leave it to me."

"Ah? How can you use your knife for slaughtering cows to kill chickens? It's too big to use too little, right?"

"I agreed with Jinnian and took him to open his eyes at night."

"Oh, that's fine, I'll stay."
