Mystery Leaks

Chapter 90
In an official tone, the higher authorities said that a well would be drilled in the peach grove to irrigate the dry crops to ensure the autumn harvest in the second half of the year.

I almost tore up the notice when I read it!
Requisitioning my farmland without consulting me in advance?What kind of thing is a compulsory requisition notice? Does anyone do such a thing?

My first reaction was that the three brothers of the Tu family made fakes, because the procedures were unreasonable, even if they wanted to be forced to requisition, they should discuss it with me first, in case I agreed, I have never seen such a person who issued a notice without saying hello.

Just like demolition, how can anyone directly push a house without contacting the owner, as an imperial edict?

But I'm not sure that this notice must be fake, the reason is very simple, if it's fake, the three brothers of the Tu family are full and have nothing to do?
Judging by Tu Hu's smirk, it's probably not that simple.

"Leizi, are you inside?" At this moment, Cao Nan's voice came from outside. He must have heard Saimo's roar and hurried over, fearing that something might happen to me.

I stretched my head to look at him, hurriedly went downstairs to welcome him in, and briefly explained what had happened.Cao Nan looked at the notice carefully, and frowned slightly: "Tsk, this stamp doesn't look like a forgery."

"Isn't it?" My heart skipped a beat.

"Don't worry, I'll find someone to ask." After finishing speaking, Cao Nan picked up his mobile phone and found a number to call, and turned on the voice.

The other side picked it up quickly, and they were very enthusiastic about Cao Nan. Cao Nan said a few words, and then asked about digging wells for irrigation. Boss, the ancestors belong to our township, and they wanted charity to help our township fight drought and disaster relief, and donated more than a dozen wells and pumping equipment in one go, worth 10,000+."

"Then what's the matter with the forced expropriation? Didn't you discuss it with the landlord beforehand?" Cao Nan asked.

"There is a small flaw in the procedure, but it's not a big problem. How much land can a well occupy? Not to mention the current drought, even if the weather is good, it can't produce a few catties of grain. The compensation from the boss is 1 yuan per mouthful. Who can refuse, Besides, it is impossible for this drought to last forever, and when the weather is favorable, it will be over if the well is filled, and it will make a lot of money." The other person said disapprovingly.

Cao Nan and He exchanged glances. Someone wanted to dig the peach blossom forest, but they were afraid that I would resist, so they contacted the authorities in the name of disaster relief.

"Then what happened to the three brothers of the Tu family? Why did they get involved?" Cao Nan asked again.

"I heard that they are people from the big boss who donated money. I don't know the details. Anyway, this matter has been delegated to the village. It is estimated that it will have to start in two days. If it is too late, it will be too late." Said the other side.

Cao Nan then asked for some information about the big boss, but the person on the other side said he didn't know, and hung up the phone after a while.

Cao Nan frowned, and said, "Leizi, money can turn ghosts around, it seems that they are going to dig the peach blossom forest blatantly."

"I'll kill them with a shotgun!" I was angry. This thing must have been done by the gang of tomb robbers, and the mastermind behind the scenes is most likely the so-called "old master".

"Leizi, you have to calm down. This matter is not that simple. They are doing this to force you to submit, and you may have very little choice. This is not a conspiracy, but a blatant conspiracy." Cao Nan said seriously.

"How to say?"

My heart skipped a beat, thinking about it too, such a big battle, both donations and wells, completely determined to win, if they can easily resist, wouldn't their work be in vain?
"Think about it, they are in the name of drought relief, if you don't agree, who will you offend?" Cao Nan asked.

"Official?" I wondered, drought relief seems to have political achievements in it.

"Wrong!" Cao Nan said seriously, "It's those landowners who are so anxious to see that the rice fields are about to fail. They are already crazy about water, and they don't need your consent, and they don't need the three brothers of the Tu family at all. If you do it, they will take the initiative to unite and dig up the peach forest, and you can't stop it at all."

I was shocked and this hit the mark!

Jinpen Township is poor and remote, and the livelihood of most of the villagers depends on that one-third of an acre of land. If the harvest fails, the food and drink expenses will be exhausted.

The peach blossom forest is surrounded by fertile fields. There are about dozens of families’ fields there. The irrigation depends on the stream water. There was still a little in the first two months. If you don't get water, you will lose your harvest.

As for the water source, the Peach Blossom Forest is backed by the remaining veins of the Jinpen Mountain, and is at the foot of the mountain. There are two or three springs. The outside is already extremely dry, but the area around the springs is very humid, and the weeds grow extraordinarily luxuriantly.

There is actually an ancient well under those springs, which was later filled in by my grandfather, and a small number of people in the older generation know about it.

When I was young, I remember that some people scolded my grandfather for filling the well. It probably meant that there was a dragon king in the well, and filling the well would be punished by God, and they cursed the ancestors of the Meng family by the way.

But Grandpa ignored it, and since the land is his own, no one else can control it, so the matter is over.

Unexpectedly, the severe drought brought this matter up. The villagers needed water, and they would naturally think of the ancient well that had been filled in. If the spring water gushed out, it meant that there was water below.

If there is no official to take the lead, I disagree, and they dare not mess around. After all, the land is mine, and I am also the number one person in the village. I beat up the three brothers of the Tu family, and no one dared to mess with me.

But the flavor of the official initiative has changed. The villagers have found a "legitimate" excuse to unite. If they want to fight hard, they will definitely suffer. They are already red-eyed.

In fact, some time ago, someone came to check on me, saying that they wanted to use the water from that well to irrigate. At that time, my grandfather’s grave was dug. Yes, kick them out.

If the three brothers of the Tu family stand behind and push the flames, the villagers will be full of courage. At that time, as Cao Nan said, if he refuses, the villagers will have to use force.

"I'm afraid this matter is already fermenting. Whether you agree or not, they will dig, and there is no need for the three brothers of the Tu family to do it themselves." Cao Nan said.

"Bastard!" I cursed.The reason why Yangmou is Yangmou is that he is not afraid of seeing the light, because there is no solution; once the villagers who want water grab straws, they will never give up. will end.

This tactic was very insidious, and put me in a situation that I couldn't refuse. No wonder Tu Hu smiled, they were not afraid of my rejection at all.

Can't he kill innocent villagers begging for water with one shot?Otherwise, let's not talk about whether they will attack with red eyes, even if they win, will they still be able to do business in the future?

In the eyes of the villagers who don't know the truth, it was just a hole in the water, and there was still a distance from my grandfather's grave, so that he would not disturb the old man, and he could get 1 yuan for nothing.

This is a great "win-win" thing.

If I stop him, I will become a heinous villain, and I will watch dozens of households in the village have no food and no food or drink.

"Leizi, if we need to stop this matter, unless we can find another water source nearby, it will be difficult." Cao Nan worried.

I am deeply convinced that this matter is tricky, the one behind the three brothers of the Tu family has hit their own fatal spot, if they refuse, they will make the villagers their enemies.

And their goal is very clear, that is the ancient well.

This made me wonder, could there be something in the ancient well, otherwise why did they spend so much effort to dig it?
This reminds me of the last time the peach grove bloomed. The bloody peach blossoms suddenly bloomed, which was completely against the season, and there were thin blood lines inside the peach branches, which had a fishy smell.At that time, Huang Mao said that there must be something under the peach grove.

I don't really have any impression of the ancient well, because the land was originally a wasteland. After my grandfather exchanged it with a good field, he started planting peach trees.

When I was very young, I vaguely remembered that it was a small puddle surrounded by weeds, and I didn't even know it was a well.

It was only later that someone ran to the door of the house and scolded my grandfather that I realized that it was a well or an ancient well.

I still remember the two people who scolded Grandpa. One was the old man of the Feng family, who was a generation higher than Feng Jiantou, and had passed away seven or eight years ago.The other one was a relative of Magu.

Magu is the introducer of Xu Jiaojiao and me, that is, the matchmaker. She also ran away after the strange things happened in the village.
