Chapter 18 Monkey looking for water

The village chief had a gloomy face and deliberately provoked trouble: "Old Zhao, don't delay here. Since you said Zhao Zhizhi didn't tell us the preparation time, then ask her to come out now and tell us the exact time."

He was sure that the Zhao family could not hand over Zhao Zhizhi.

As expected, after hearing what he said, the expressions of the Zhao family and his son changed.

The village chief was ecstatic in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but there was a hint of schadenfreude, "Why, isn't Zhao Zhizhi at home?"

Before the Zhao family could reply, he raised his voice angrily and shouted:
"You shouldn't let Zhao Zhizhi hide. Are you lying to all of us when you said you would help find water?"

After the village chief finished outputting, He Xiuer pretended to come out and said hesitantly:

"Fellow folks, I'm actually hiding something from you."

She bit her lip and spoke in a low voice, "Two days ago, I accidentally found the Zhao family walking up the mountain behind them carrying large and small bags. I followed them out of curiosity and found that after they handed the large and small bags to Zhao Zhizhi, they let her gone."

She closed her eyes and pretended to wipe her tears, "I thought I was overthinking it at the time, but now it seems that they really let Zhao Zhizhi escape secretly. I'm sorry to everyone."

After saying this, she sobbed softly.

Because she had been acting seriously with her head down, she didn't notice the strange silence around her and the strange looks in everyone's eyes when they looked at her.

Zhao Zhizhi leaned against the door with his chest folded, and finally couldn't help but uttered a voice: "He Xiu'er, what are you talking about, what's wrong with me?"

When He Xiuer heard the familiar voice, she raised her head suddenly, opened her eyes wide as if she saw something terrifying, and backed away, "No, it's impossible."

Zhao Zhizhi smiled and took two steps forward, "What is impossible? Is it impossible for me to still be alive?"

He Xiuer's mind is now blank and she can't make any sound at all.

The village chief cursed secretly for being "unsatisfactory" and had to come out to smooth things over, "Mrs. Zhao is here, that means Xiu'er admitted the wrong person. Let's get down to business quickly. Where is the water source you mentioned? Have you found it?"

Zhao Zhizhi was not in a hurry to settle accounts with them. He raised the corners of his lips and waved his hand, "Follow me."

The village chief did not believe in evil, so he turned his back and loudly said to the villagers: "It seems that Mrs. Zhao has found the water source. Let's follow her."

Zhao Zhizhi led the expectant villagers along the back mountain to the place where they fell off the cliff two days ago.

He Xiuer became even more panicked after arriving at this place, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.

"Ms. Zhao, there is no water source here, all there is is cracked soil."

Without the village chief having to say anything, some of the villagers have already raised questions.

This is the credit of the village chief. He first sets out the expectations of the villagers. If the expectations are not met, their counterattack will be as great as the disappointment.

"Don't worry." Zhao Zhizhi was as calm as ever. She clapped her hands, and each of the three Zhao brothers came over holding a monkey.

In the doubtful eyes of the villagers, Zhao Zhizhi briefly introduced:
"They are mountain monkeys that my brothers and I spent a lot of effort to catch. They have been without food or water for three days."

After the introduction, she asked the three Zhao brothers to loosen the shackles of the monkey, but they still held the [-]-meter soft rope tied to the monkey.

After getting free, the three monkeys ran towards the same place like crazy.

Zhao Zhizhi shouted loudly: "Quick, follow them."

So, under the leadership of the monkey, they found a creek that had not dried up yet, but the water flow was very slow and would probably be exhausted soon.

The villagers were overjoyed and ran to the creek one after another to imitate the monkeys lying there and drinking gulps of water.

Zhao Zhizhi took the opportunity to walk towards He Xiuer, grabbed her hand and shook it hard.

He Xiuer reflexively closed her eyes and begged for mercy: "Don't hit me, I was wrong. I shouldn't have pushed you and caused you to fall off the cliff, but why don't you just stand here alive now!"

The villagers were attracted by this incident, and Zhao Zhizhi briefly described what He Xiuer did to her.

The villagers thanked Zhao Zhizhi for finding the water source for them, and naturally started to attack He Xiuer.

The village chief was disgraced, so he had no choice but to distance himself, slapped He Xiuer hard in front of everyone, and ordered her to go home and reflect for half a month, and not to go out at will again.

The "water source" issue has been resolved, but the relationship between Zhao Zhizhi and Zhao Ermu has not yet eased.

"Zhizhi." Zhao Ermu was pushed by his elder brother and cautiously approached her, "This is the wild fruit I bought in the town. Do you want to try it?"

Zhao Zhizhi didn't even look at him and was busy preparing the medicine.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ermu lowered his head in disappointment and turned to leave.

Zhao Yimu couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled him over and cursed in a low voice:
"Why are you bitching so much, Zhizhi is ignoring you, why can't you apologize to her and coax our girl?"

Zhao Ermu muttered reluctantly: "I am Zhizhi's second brother, how can you ask me to open my mouth?"

Growing up, there were not many conflicts between the brothers and sisters. Even if they had some minor conflicts, they would just laugh and talk and get over it.

This was the first time there had been a stalemate, and Zhao Ermu, who had never apologized, naturally couldn't get over it.

Zhao Yimu slapped the back of his head and said angrily:

"We are all a family. No one will tell anyone outside the house. Why are you afraid of being embarrassed?"

Seeing that Zhao Ermu was still hesitating, Zhao Yi didn't think about it and directly took out his trump card:

"Okay, if you don't apologize, right? I won't let Zhizhi talk to you in this life."

This trick really worked. Zhao Ermu immediately stopped hesitating and his eyes gradually became firm.

Finally, he mustered up the courage to turn around, only to find that Zhao Zhizhi was no longer where he was.

Zhao Ermu's high spirits instantly sank. He smiled bitterly and slowly moved toward the door, "Brother, I'm going to go out and relax, and I'll come back to solve this matter later."

After saying that, he suddenly quickened his pace and left the house.

Zhao Yimu sighed. As the eldest brother, he could not ignore the disharmony between brothers and sisters.

So, he knocked on the door of Zhao Zhizhi's room.

Zhao Zhizhi knew what he wanted to say. In fact, she was not angry with Zhao Ermu. After all, the water source matter had been resolved. If she continued to be angry, she was just looking for trouble.

But she also knew in her heart that the Zhao family and his son did not take what she said to heart at all, and would definitely continue to go their own way in the future.

If things go on like this, the villagers will be oppressed so hard that one day they will risk their lives to rebel.

At that time, the Zhao family and his son will end up with the same ending in the book.

Zhao Zhizhi wanted to change them, but he always felt that there was something wrong with them and it might be the right time.

"Zhizhi, your second brother..." Zhao Yimu was not very good at interceding, and he stopped talking in the middle of his words.

Zhao Zhizhi sighed and did not intend to embarrass him, "Brother, you don't need to say anything. I will make peace with my second brother when he comes back."
