Nongmen Space: I pampered the first assistant villain

Chapter 142 Sacrifice to Heaven?

The rain stopped for a while, but the dark clouds were still thick.

The river is surging, rolling up broken branches and road stones.

"Uncle, if this continues, Luxi Village may not be able to survive."

Looking at the river water that has spread to the field, Xia Xiaoqiao said eagerly.

"No way? In previous years, there were floods, but at most, a field was flooded—"

Before Lu Dashan finished speaking, his father scolded him: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

"Yeah, nephew Dashan, you don't know something. If it wasn't for Jing Yuan's father, our entire Luxi Village would have been wiped out in the flood fifteen years ago."

Thinking of the scene of the flood, everyone fell silent. Are they really going to run for their lives?
It was hard to save some money.

While everyone was silent, Xia Xiaoqiao was observing the river.

"Uncle, I have an idea."

Everyone hurriedly said: "What method?"

Hearing this, Xia Xiaoqiao stretched out her hand and pointed: "Look at the river winding down, and the open farmland below. Our Luxi Village is in the upper reaches of the highlands. As long as we defend here and dig a river below for people to go, It will solve the danger of my Luxi Village."

"Go down to dig a river channel?"

When everyone heard this, their faces were distressed, "But once the river below opens, the farmland may be destroyed."

"Third Uncle, even if we don't open it, do you think the farmland can still stay in such a heavy rain?"

Lu Dashan immediately opened his mouth, and continued: "I think my sister-in-law's idea is very good. Our Luxi Village is in a bend. If the river surges and cannot be drained, it will be washed away by the flood. Don't say anything at that time. The fertile land is gone, and I’m afraid we won’t even have a place to live.”

The others were also silent when they heard the words.

These words are reasonable, but that fertile land is the basis for the clansmen to live and work!

So ruined?
Who can afford it?

But at this moment, the old man Lizheng who had never spoken up until now suddenly expressed his opinion: "Just follow what Jing Yuan's wife said, but just say it was my idea when I go back."

"Third grandfather?"

Xia Xiaoqiao looked subconsciously.

"Ok, deal."

The old man Lizheng had a serious face, "Dashan, go to the village entrance and ring the bell, worry about all the strong men in the village, go quickly—"

"Boss, go and count the available sacks in the warehouse, second and third, don't be idle either"

Once arranged, it is quite methodical.

And Xia Xiaoqiao was also very moved. You must know that once the river channel is opened, the farmland will be destroyed. Will the owner of the farmland be happy?

If you know that this method was suggested by Xia Xiaoqiao.

Can that speak well?

But the old man Lizheng put this matter on his own head, and he was the one who was scolded.

It can be seen that the old man Lizheng protects her.

The other uncles naturally had no objections.

Soon the big bell at the entrance of the village was rung.

After hearing this, every family became tense, and the men in the family braved the rain and came to the ancestral hall.

This is a situation that occurs only when discussing the life and death of the whole family.

But when Li Zheng finished speaking, some people quit immediately.

"What? Digging the river downstream? Then, wouldn't our fields be destroyed? How can this be done?"

"Yes, Lizheng, you, you are going to cut off our way of life."

Everyone became anxious after hearing this, and the crowd also became restless. Obviously, these words caused an uproar.

"Who thought of this bad move? It's too wicked."

Someone became anxious and began to speak indiscriminately.

"Who else is there? Today I saw Lu Daxiu's wife went to the river with her."

When Xia Xiaoqiao was mentioned, everyone fell silent.

But those who have a stake can't swallow this breath.

"Lizheng, you can't just let the Xia's gossip deceive the public. We have lived here in Luxi Village for hundreds of years, and we haven't experienced floods yet? When have we ever seen such a shady idea of ​​digging rivers and destroying fertile fields? ?”

"That's right, that's—"

After everyone listened, they also followed suit.

But Lu Degui, who was sitting by the side, rolled his eyes after listening, and then sighed:

"Hey, it's said that the Xia family has been married to my family for two years. Although she doesn't speak much, she is also a sensible and filial person. But after falling into the river and almost drowning, she seems to have changed. She disobeyed her elders. You can even catch thieves on horseback, tsk tsk—"

As soon as the words started, everyone suddenly felt a chill go down their backs.

"This, could it be that he was entangled by the water ghost?"

"Hey, don't scare me, it's creepy."

"Look at how brave you are? But then again, the rain this year is really not right. How can there be such a heavy rain in May? There must be a demon if something abnormal happens."

"Ah? Could it be that the Xia family was really possessed by a water ghost to bring such disaster to our Luxi Village?"

"I think it is. Otherwise, why is it raining so hard? The roar of thunder makes me afraid to look at it. It must be Tianwei and Lizheng. This Xia family must not stay."

"Yes, Li Zheng, this concerns the lives of all of us in Luxi Village, you—"

"Bullshit."

Li Zheng turned cold in an instant, "What water ghost? I think you are more like a water ghost? Forgot how they taught you how to grow tea? Forgot how they treated you? How can you be so heartless? Are you ashamed to say this?"

"I?"

The man was shut up by Li Zheng, and Lu Degui immediately said: "Uncle Third, you can't say that. How does this little favor compare with the lives of the whole village? If she didn't provoke you Things, how could God punish you? I don’t think this witch can be kept, if she is sacrificed to the heaven—”

Before he could finish speaking, a cold and piercing voice suddenly came from beside his ear.

"I see who dares to sacrifice her to heaven?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone hurriedly looked over.

Seeing Lu Jingyuan falling straight down the corridor, his eyes looked over like sharp swords.

Everyone was shocked and couldn't help swallowing.

Lu Degui's expression changed instantly when he was interrupted, "You—"

"What am I?"

Lu Jingyuan looked at him coldly, "I don't speak strange words, but a gentleman has the right way in his heart. It's in vain for you to read the sage books for so many years, but you don't understand this truth?"

Lu Degui's face turned red instantly after being scolded, but Lu Jingyuan did not let him go.

"I know that you have been quite frustrated during this time, but you can reap what you sow. If you are not righteous, how can you blame others?"

"you?"

Lu Degui was so angry that his hands shook.

It's a pity that Lu Jingyuan ignored him.

Looking at the people in the hall again, he continued: "According to what I know, this rain is not limited to our Luxi Village, the whole Ququan Town and even several nearby villages and towns are also affected by the heavy rain. This is a natural disaster, isn't it? Man-made disaster?"

"My wife is kind-hearted, and she can't bear the pain of leaving home and being displaced. She tried her best to preserve Luxi Village, but she didn't expect to be treated like this."

"She is not born with knowledge, but she is smart and eager to learn. She has been taught by a famous teacher, and she has achieved what she has today. She has no secrets but uses it to save the village. Such a righteous act, but you are said to be a demon girl? What is the reason? ?”
