Little People Rise

Chapter 227 Excavator Oil Leakage
After Yu Ming waited for Li Xiaoning and the excavator and bulldozer master to leave, he took a few people who had been opposed to Li Xiaoning's road construction back to the village building, and stayed from morning to afternoon before Yu Ming left with a few people.

Shaling Village, which has been bustling and exciting all morning, has returned to its usual tranquility, with the cycle of sunrise and sunset.

Until the dawn of the next day, the Shaling Villagers who were still sleeping were awakened by the harsh beating of gongs and shouts.

dong dong dong.
"It's not good, something serious happened. The fish in the fish pond of the village chief's house are all dead, all dead, everyone come and see."

Didn't the fish in Yu Ming's fish pond be fine yesterday?

Didn't you promise that Li Xiaoning would catch all of them in one day today, and let Li Xiaoning build the road the next day?

How could they all die overnight?
The villagers of Shaling Village, who were awakened by the sound of the gong, were all so puzzled. After getting up, they ran straight to the fish pond at the entrance of the Mingjia Village.

Li Xiaoning was also woken up, thinking that the fish pond was closely related to road construction, so he had to get up immediately to go to the fish pond to see what happened.

When Li Xiaoning arrived at the fish pond, Yu Ming was crying bitterly at the dead fish floating on the water in the fish pond: "What's going on? I've worked so hard for more than half a year to raise the fish. How could it happen overnight?" All dead."

All the people in Shaling Village had arrived before Li Xiaoning came. Some were convincing Yu Ming, and some were wandering around Yu Ming's fish pond, as if they were looking for the reason why the fish died in the fish pond.

"I promised Li Xiaoning to catch all the fish in the fish pond today. I was afraid of delaying the road construction, so I asked a few people to help. When we arrived at the fish pond at dawn and prepared to catch fish, the fish, all the fish were dead and floating on the water. gone."

Just when Li Xiaoning came to the fish pond and heard Yu Ming explaining the ins and outs to the people around him, a sudden exclamation came from the people wandering around: "I know how the fish died! I know."

Hearing someone shout out in surprise that they knew the reason for the dead fish in the fish pond, all the people in Shaling Village beside the fish pond were suddenly surprised and ran towards the direction of the sound.

Yu Ming also got up from the ground in one bone and ran over.

When they ran to the person who knew the cause of the dead fish and saw the scene in front of them, they were all astonished, as surprised as they wanted to be.

"Oil? The oil from the excavator leaked into the fish pond!"

Someone was the first to speak in surprise. This person was none other than the old man who had instigated Yu Ming to prevent road construction before, and he was also one of the people who stayed in the village building with Yu Ming for a whole day yesterday.

The old man was afraid that other people might not hear clearly, so he continued to repeat loudly: "Look, everyone, the oil leaked from the excavator flowed into the fish pond, poisoning all the fish in the fish pond."

"What? Old man, you can't be mistaken! Is it true that the oil from the excavator flowed into the fish pond and poisoned the village chief's fish?"

An older person asked the old man with a face full of surprise and disbelief.

"Uncle Liu, rice can be eaten indiscriminately. I don't dare to say that. Come and see, this is the oil pipe of the excavator. There is a hole here. The black drops are diesel oil." Old Mao The head helped Uncle Liu to the excavator parked by the fish pond, and pointed to the oil pipe of the excavator that was still dripping oil.

Like Uncle Liu, the people from Shaling Village who couldn’t believe that it was the oil leakage from the excavator invited by Li Xiaoning, who poisoned the fish to death, suddenly looked solemn when they saw the oil pipe of the excavator still dripping oil into the fish pond.

Li Xiaoning's road construction is a major event in Shaling Village, but he didn't expect that on the first day, an excavator leaked oil and poisoned fish in a fish pond.

They shook their heads silently and sighed. This is not a good omen.

In the remote rural villages, this omen is taken very seriously when doing anything.

"How can you be so careless and irresponsible?"

"That's right. If things go on like this, if you poison a pond of fish today and a brood of chickens tomorrow, that's fine. It doesn't matter if the road is not repaired."

"What you said makes sense. The most important thing is that it is not a good omen to encounter this dead fish on the first day of road construction, and it is very unlucky."

Just when those few people who stayed in the village building with Yu Ming and Lao Maotou yesterday afternoon and then returned to the village fell into trouble, someone in the crowd saw Li Xiaoning and said in surprise: "Li Xiaoning is here."

"Li Xiaoning, who are the road builders you are looking for? Why are they so irresponsible? The excavator didn't even know that the oil pipe was opened. Now he has poisoned the village head's pond full of fish. Look. what to do?"

"What should I do? Does it need to be said? Losing money, if he didn't want to build roads, how could the excavator come? If the excavator didn't come, there would be no oil spill. He was killed by the village head full of fish the culprit."

Faced with the accusations and disdain of the crowd, Li Xiaoning looked at the oil pipe that was still dripping oil. Although he saw that the oil pipe he saw yesterday did not even have a pinhole, even though he was puzzled in his heart, the facts were in front of him. In front of many people, Li Xiaoning had no choice but to agree to pay money and settle the matter, so as not to delay the road construction.

There is only less than a month left in the rainy season. If you continue to be entangled in this matter, you will miss the road construction at that time, which is the last thing Li Xiaoning wants to see.

"Major Yu, calculate the price of buying fish, how much I should pay you, and I won't lose a penny."

Hearing Li Xiaoning talking about losing money, Yu Ming said in a lecture tone: "Li Xiaoning, I always thought that you were a young man different from the young people in Shaling Village. I thought you were prudent, responsible and reliable, so I would do my best to support you in building roads at all costs. , But, today, look, the excavator leaked oil, what if it caught fire in front of someone else's house instead of in my fish pond? Then there was a fire accident and people were burned to death. How much money did you rely on? Is it possible to pay for it?"

The Shaling Villagers surrounding Li Xiaoning and Yu Ming nodded their heads in agreement when they heard what Yu Ming said.

Before Li Xiaoning could speak, seeing the popular Yu Ming, he said righteously: "You must pay for the fish money, and you must stop working on the road construction. Let us discuss it before making a decision."

"Mr. Yu, and everyone, you were all here yesterday. When the excavator was working, if the oil pipe leaked oil, there would be oil marks all over the road. But, come and see, there is not even a drop of oil marks on the road. Why? Will it stop at the edge of the fish pond and start to leak oil?" Hearing Yu Ming say that the road construction was suspended, Li Xiaoning was annoyed all of a sudden, and told the details that he discovered when he came to the fish pond.

Seeing that everyone had gone on the road, Yu Ming did not see mimeographs, then nodded to Li Xiaoning, and said to Li Xiaoning: "Li Xiaoning, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you want to say that someone did it on purpose?"

Li Xiaoning, who was squatting next to the leaking oil pipe, found that the oil pipe was not pierced by itself, but was pierced by a sharp weapon. He stood up all of a sudden, with firm eyes: "Why is this not possible?"
