The people in Zhoujia Village looked at each other, wondering for a moment whether they should believe what these people in front of them, who might be monsters, said.
He Fengyu sighed helplessly: "Everyone, we came here to look for water in order to survive. Do you think we came here to destroy the banker because we were looking for trouble?"
Many people in Zhoujia Village nodded: "This seems to make sense."
"If you put it that way, these monsters can't be considered heinous."
"Don't be deceived by them. These are monsters. God knows what they have up their sleeves."
"Yes, we can't believe what the monster says."
"That's not necessarily true. Monsters also need to survive. The drought is so severe now, and monsters also need water."
"How do you know you need water? Maybe the monsters don't need water at all. These hateful monsters are simply deceiving us."
"This is a carp spirit. Can your fish survive without water?"
"Carps can't live out of water, but these carp spirits can even come ashore. God knows what else they can do."
"What is this and why have I never seen it before?"
The purpose is nothing more than procrastination.
Finally, the clan elder stood up.
Then he turned to look at He Fengyu: "I want to ask you again, is what you just said true?"
"If you dare to lie to me, old man, then don't blame me. I'm rude."
"But what if there is water? If these monsters really find the water source, our village will be saved."
"I'm sure this guy really deceived us."
"It's impossible for you to touch your upper lip to your lower lip and say something casually here, and we have to believe what you say, right?"
Now the whole of Datong is suffering from drought.
He Fengyu quickly waved his hand and said modestly: "Mr., you misunderstood. We didn't really find the water source, we just found a place where there is a suspected water source."
The clan elder looked at He Fengyu with burning eyes: "How can you prove that everything you said is true?"
"Is there really water?" the clan elder asked in disbelief.
He Fengyu has been waiting for this opportunity for so long.
Some people even slap their mouths tightly because they are afraid of saying the wrong thing.
The government of this era was different from that of later generations, and its control over local areas was actually quite low.
These people really have the right to decide a person's life or death.
Zhang Daxian's actions were not unpleasant. As soon as Fang Hubin opened his mouth, he had already pushed back Fang Hubin's last words.
"Third uncle, these people...these monsters must have no good intentions."
In this case, a man who looked like a monster actually said that he had found the source of water.
They all looked around, continuously looking at the dry fields around them.
"Junior brother!" He Fengyu looked at Fang Hubin with a look of resentment: "At this point, what else can't be admitted?"
The words he said were not just what he thought of.
And the elders of each village.
Just now, when the old man was talking, Zhang Daxian even had a vague feeling of facing Wu Zhen, a resurrected person.
"You can get water just by digging. Isn't this a fool's errand?"
"Maybe they are not monsters at all, but..."
Although Fang Hubin is not a particularly smart person, he also knows that at critical moments, he cannot bring trouble to his senior brother.
The village and clan rules in this era are no joke, they can really kill people.
"I can tell whether what these monsters say is true or false. I don't need juniors like you to tell me what to do."
Just like the famous dip pig cage.
His preparations were not in vain. As soon as Fang Hubin opened his mouth, he rushed over and tightly covered Fang Hubin's mouth, preventing him from continuing to speak.
In fact, it is not the government of Dameng that really manages them.
Even if Fang Hubin denied it, no one believed that they were not monsters at this time.
"No, these people are not rebels, right?"
This is why, sometimes, even though it is not a particularly big deal, it can cause public dissatisfaction to boil over.
Due to the ten-point reason, even if the time traveler Zhu Han appears, many things still cannot be changed in a short period of time.
Not even the local county magistrate or village chief.
After hearing He Fengyu's words, the people in Zhoujia Village began to buzz with discussion again.
If you die in the hands of your own people, it would be really unfair.
As for monsters and the like, it is possible for others to believe them, but it is absolutely impossible for people like Zhang Daxian to believe them.
After the villagers calmed down, the elder asked patiently: "Let me ask you, where is this water?"
"I think these human beings are not greedy people. If we can cooperate with them, we may be able to solve the water problem in our place. It will be better than us running around like headless flies."
He Fengyu said solemnly: "Back to the old man, everything I said is true. We really found the water source here."
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't see any trace of water around them.
"If you humans hadn't stopped us, my senior brother..."
It's just that this clan elder had different ideas from those of them. He scolded everyone impatiently: "Stop talking to me."
After a while, someone started whispering again.
But even so, Fang Hubin's words finally came out, and many representatives present heard them clearly.
"No matter how we try, it's definitely not a good idea. We can't be fooled by these monsters!"
Finally, some people couldn't help it anymore: "That's nonsense, where is the water here?"
Just as they were discussing, Fang Hubin said with an unhappy face: "Brother, we are not monsters at all, why do you say that?"
Those who truly maintain local security and normal operations are the gentry families in various places.
The people in Zhoujia Village were still complaining just now that He Fengyu and the others were not like monsters or something.
Among them, Zhang Daxian especially felt it most clearly.
This incident really made the elders of Zhoujiacun a little unbelievable.
"Did you hear what he said? Did they really find the water source?"
Not to mention that the government may not know, even if it knows, it will not take care of it at all.
His only function is to attract the attention of the people in Zhoujia Village so that they have no choice but to take action immediately.
He Fengyu did not dare to neglect. He immediately ordered his government servants: "Don't be stunned. Didn't you hear what the old man said? Hurry up and prepare to dig for water sources."
He had been paying attention to Fang Hubin for a long time, just because he was afraid that this guy would speak uncontrollably and say something he shouldn't say again.
"This is impossible. We are a field here. How can there be any water here? If there was, we wouldn't have to fight with other villages with our lives."
"Why do I feel like something is wrong with the situation? Aren't these people monsters? Monsters have to do it themselves to get water? Don't they know any magic?"
There are several people who have the same thoughts as the clan elder.
As long as they can hold on until Wu Zhen, the prefect, arrives, their danger will be lifted immediately.
"He is so anxious to explain. Could it be that we got him right?"
"I think you monsters have ulterior motives. You said you were looking for water, just to fool us, right?"
Just like the ordinary people who maintain the most basic operation of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Hearing this, He Fengyu breathed a sigh of relief.
With the full power of life and death, the status of these clan elders is naturally very different.
But Zhang Daxian never thought that at this critical moment, Fang Hubin, one of his own, would jump out to cause trouble.
I saw that the people in Zhoujia Village were finally honest.
"Old man, I have eaten more salt than you little kids have walked."
"These monsters must have some other conspiracy. We must not let them go so easily."
He was not afraid of the people in Zhoujiacun asking them to prove it, but he was afraid that these angry people would take action without saying a word.
Imperial power does not go to the countryside.
Doesn’t this guy know what he can and cannot say?
Originally, their situation was very dangerous, but He Fengyu told a lie and temporarily solved the current crisis.
But this time, Zhang Daxian was obviously worried for nothing.
Immediately afterwards, He Fengyu and the others came up with something that made everyone dumbfounded.
In fact, not only the clan elders, but also the villagers did not believe it.
Preconceptions cannot be changed in a few words.
The old man said calmly: "Please continue."
Before Fang Hubin could finish what he said, the old man from Zhoujia Village who seemed to have vented more energy than inhaled.
After hearing what the clan elder said, everyone obediently shut their mouths.
"Shut up!" Third uncle had to maintain order at the scene again.
Damn it!
As a shop owner, you have been handling cases for so many years. What kind of pretentious and mysterious things have you never seen?
Although what He Fengyu said was true, Zhang Daxian immediately guessed that this guy was definitely lying.
"If anyone dares to speak carelessly again, I will deal with him directly."
At this point, it doesn't matter what others think, as long as the clan elder can believe in them.
Once the cheating parties are caught, there is no need to report to the government, and the clan elders can decide to implement this criminal law.
"Third uncle, you must never trust this guy."
"If you don't believe it, just give us a moment and let us dig now and we can show you the water."
The voice was extremely gentle and caring, and it looked as if the person in front of the clan elder was not some scary monster, but his own little grandson.
It didn't matter to others. The most important thing was that the clan elders of Zhoujia Village believed what they said and gave them a chance to busy themselves.
All of a sudden, there was a lot of speculation.
"My senior brother took action personally, how could he not find a mere water source?"
But at this time, Swagger can temporarily appease the excited people, and there is no problem no matter what he says.
It's just that he is young after all and has not experienced many things. When encountering something like this, he will inevitably feel a little panicked.
Because many local parents and officials may not even know what is going on below.
Unlike the humble He Fengyu, Fang Hubin looked triumphant: "Nonsense, don't you know who my senior brother is?"
Zhang Daxian regretted why he didn't cover Fang Hubin's mouth just now.
"Are you kidding? He's just an old man."
"Are you sure these things are used to dig wells?"
From the moment he said he was a monster, He Fengyu had already anticipated that this would probably be the outcome.
"If we can no longer find water, all of us may have to work to death."
Zhang Daxian himself felt that there must be something wrong with his brain, that's why he felt this way.
Just because they heard his words, everyone in Zhoujia Village fell into a strange silence.
It wasn't that he didn't understand what He Fengyu said, it was just that he couldn't believe it.
Fortunately, his approach succeeded in the end.
Otherwise, the people in Zhoujiacun would be talking so much that they would not hear anything at all.
When no one around him spoke, the clan elder looked at He Fengyu with expectant eyes: "Young man, are everything you said true?"
He hit the ground heavily with the crutch in his hand to calm everyone down.
"This thing looks more like a weapon no matter how you look at it."
"Instead of doing this, it's better to tell the truth."
The clan elder nodded with satisfaction.
He Fengyu pretended not to hear what they said and just looked at the old man, his third uncle, secretly.
Instead, He Fengyu handed it to him word for word.
Fang Hubin said unconvinced: "But senior brother, we don't need to cooperate with anyone now. We have found the water source. Next..."
Suddenly he shouted sharply: "Wait a minute! What did you just say, you found the water source?"
The clan elder's attitude is not very harsh, but the more so, the more people can feel a faint sense of majesty.
"It's funny. You actually said you dug out some water? You see clearly, what does this apprentice do? Even if there is water, it's definitely not in the field."
If you don't want to live anymore, just take a knife and kill yourself. Why drag them into the water with you?
"But those people are monsters after all. Maybe they really have something to do?"
"Everyone, be careful and don't be deceived by some people's appearance!"
Many people surrounding He Fengyu and the others slowly backed away, intending to put some distance between them first.
After all, what He Fengyu and the others brought were just steel pipes.
This thing looks more like a weapon no matter how you look at it.
He Fengyu nodded towards Fang Hubin: "Junior brother Fang, please."
