Three Kingdoms: How did a cube-like person like me become a god?

051 Water Source Dispute

at the same time

In Xinghua Village, which is in the same township as Zhaojiazhuang

The reason for this name is that there are apricot trees growing all over the village.

Every Qingming Festival

Apricot trees are in bloom, and their fragrance spreads ten miles away

It is also at this time that the villagers of Xinghua Village will pick apricot flowers to make wine.

Therefore, apricot blossom wine is quite famous in Changshan County.

Only since the drought began

The apricot trees that once flourished in and around Xinghua Village have now become withered and decayed.

It’s the season of apricot blossoms

Only a few apricot blossoms are left on the branches.

It is no longer the apricot blossom village that was famous for its fragrance.

June and July are the seasons when apricot trees bear fruit.

In previous years, the apricot trees were full of sweet and sour apricots, which were delicious for people of all ages.

The leftover apricots can be used to make wine

Apricot wine is also a major feature of Xinghua Village

It’s just that this year’s apricot trees have fewer flowers and fewer apricots.

Don’t mention brewing.

It’s almost not enough to feed the villagers in my village.

Moreover, Xinghua Village is not like Zhaojiazhuang, where all the people have the same surname and clan.

There are two major surnames in Xinghua Village

The surname is Xiahou, and they are descendants of Xiahou Ying, a founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty.

But the main vein is located in present-day Qiao County, Pei County, Xuzhou

As a poor branch, they could only leave their hometown and come to Zhending County, Changshan County, Jizhou.

Another surname, Chu, is also not from Zhending County.

The ancestors of the Xiahou family and the Chu family hit it off at first sight.

Blood oath, becoming brothers

Then the two hit it off

He brought his wife and children to this place full of apricot trees and established the Xinghua Village.

Over a hundred years

The Xiahou family and the Chu family also became more and more prosperous, and both grew into large families with hundreds of people.

Inside the Chu Family Ancestral Hall

Chu Ji, the head of the Chu family, held three incense sticks, bowed deeply three times, and then slowly inserted the incense into the copper incense burner.

“My dear ancestors, there is a severe drought in the world. This year is getting more and more difficult.”

“The water flow of Hutuo River has almost dried up. Without water for irrigation, this year’s grain harvest will be a total failure.”

“Everyone already had no surplus food, and now the harvest was completely gone, we were really going to be desperate.”

“Ancestor, if you know anything in the afterlife, please protect the children of our clan. It would be best if it rained heavily.”

“The world has suffered from drought for a long time.”

After saying that, Chu Ji sighed.

Since the drought began, he has come to the ancestral temple to burn incense every day.

But in the past few years

The drought is getting worse day by day

He even suspected that someone had offended the gods in the sky and the dragons in the sea.

That’s why God punished us with continuous drought for several years

At this time, a nimble young man broke into the ancestral hall.

“Dad, I found something big.”

Chu Ji frowned slightly and scolded softly:

“How can you be so frivolous in front of your ancestors? Also, this is not your home, you have to call me the clan leader.”

The boy shrank his head and nodded:

“Chief, I discovered something big.”

Chu Ji’s expression calmed down a little, and he asked slowly:

“What’s the big deal?”

The boy took a deep breath and said:

“Chief, the Hutuo River may not be dry, but the flow may have been cut off by someone.”

“What! Are you sure that what you said is true?” Chu Ji’s eyes were sharp.

There is a severe drought in the world. Both food and people need water.

So cutting off people’s water supply is cutting off their survival.

This is a hatred greater than killing one’s parents.

The young man nodded and said quickly:

“Today I visited Zhaojiazhuang and saw that their fields were irrigated with water.”

“Patriarch, you also know that with the flow of the Hutuo River when it flows through our village, how could there be so much water for them to irrigate their crops?”

“So I suspect they diverted all the water from the Hutuo River to their own place.”

“Only a little is left for us”

Hearing this, Chu Ji’s face turned red.

Get it back!

Must get it back!

Only by taking it back can the tribe’s crops have water for irrigation and everyone have a chance to survive.

That’s how it was in ancient times

It is not the narrow-mindedness of small farmers

It’s that resources are scarce, and if you don’t fight for them, they will be eaten up by others.

So I want to survive

We must fight for every acre of land, every inch of housing, every drop of water.

Especially water sources

That is something that almost every household must fight for.

Even in modern times when resources are abundant, there are often incidents of villagers from two villages fighting over water.

Not to mention the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Fortunately, reason finally triumphed over anger.

Chu Ji took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.

This matter is only Chu Yan’s one-sided statement after all.

Even if Chu Yan is his own son

So we still have to investigate and confirm whether it is true.

Only then can we decide whether to attack Zhaojiazhuang

Of course, part of the reason is that Zhaojiazhuang has a lot of martial virtues.

Although it doesn’t cause trouble

But when others provoke them, they never get any benefits.

It can be said that the martial virtue of Zhaojiazhuang is no less famous than the apricot blossom wine of their village.

Otherwise, how could Zhaojiazhuang occupy such an advantageous position beside the Hutuo River?

Aren’t they all typed out?

“No, if this is true, our Chu family alone may not be able to snatch the Zhao family. We have to discuss it with the Xiahou family.”

Chu Ji thought

Then he patted Chu Yan on the shoulder:

“Yan’er, you did a great job. Please wait here for a while. I’m going to the Xiahou family to discuss this with the head of the Xiahou family.”

“After the discussion, we will probably send a few more people to investigate.”

“You take them with you then.”

Chu Yan nodded:

“Yes, Patriarch”

“Just call me daddy.” Chu Ji patted Chu Yan’s shoulder.

Chu Yan curled her lips:

“OK, Dad.”………
