Nihu's home is not big, so it can only be considered bright. It is also made of rammed earth and made of adobe bricks. Even though he is a dignified mayor, his living quarters are not as good as those of ordinary people in Fengshan. This shows the level of poverty here.
The tea bowl used for entertaining guests seemed to have been used for a long time. It was filled with herbs picked from the mountains. Liang Chuan sat down and took a look at it without moving.
It's not that he looked down on the tea, he was afraid that Hu Shui's guy would put some veterinary medicine in the water if he got hot, and that would be the end of it!
Liang Chuan sat with a sullen expression on his face, staring straight at Hu Shui. This boy was a typical master with a simple mind and well-developed limbs!
Nihu has never made a name for himself in his life. Just like his name, he is a kind of wild vegetable, but he has tenacious vitality. If he lives for a long time, he will naturally have a lot more knowledge than young people!
"Liang Sanlang, we haven't seen each other for some years!"
Liang Chuan said very rudely: "I haven't seen you for some years. Your son has not made any progress over the years. He is still so stubborn!"
Hu Shui wanted to have a fit, but Nihu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't treat me like a child. You are also a person with status now. Please bear with me!"
"It's not impossible for me to forgive you. I just want to know why you beat people like that?"
Nihu knew that this was the fault of the mountain people, so he could only apologize and said: "Of course the people in Shicang Township are at fault, but the reason is not all their fault. There is only so much land on this mountain that can be cultivated, unlike your mountain." Feet."
Nihu paused, like a bitter daughter-in-law pouring out her bitterness: "Now that we have used new rice seeds, we can plant two crops a year. What's more, you don't even want to plant food, all you plant is sugar cane! The life in the mountains is too harsh." It’s bitter, rice can only last one season, sugarcane can’t be harvested even if it’s planted!”
"If the harvest is not good, we can think of a solution. Can just injuring people solve the problem?"
Nihu had never thought about this problem: "There is only so much land, and we sold a large piece of it to you people from northern Shaanxi. Now the harvest is getting less and less. You have also hunted a lot of prey in the forest over the years. What's more?" What can be done?"
"Of course there are ways, but I can't teach you casually. Once you turn your back and deny me, I'm afraid the lives of my brothers will be even more difficult in the future!"
Nihu smiled bitterly and said: "How could it be possible? The wish of our mountain people is the simplest. As long as we can have enough to eat, who is willing to lick the blood from the head of a knife? I'm afraid you don't know how vicious your brothers are. If not, We, the mountain people of Shicang Township, are fairly united, and we used to be dawdlers, otherwise we would be the ones being bullied!"
"What's the reason? Is it because Song Jun trampled the ridges of your fields?"
The reason is ridiculous, but it's true.
Liang Chuan closed his eyes in pain. This was clearly nitpicking and looking for reasons to deal with Song Youcai and his group.
"I'm telling you, the ridges of the fields were trampled and the crops were damaged. Even if they were, the worst they could do was to pay for it. Is it possible that those crops are more valuable than human lives, so we have to beat people like this?"
Old Nihu's face turned red with embarrassment, and he didn't know how to answer Liang Chuan's words.
Hu Shui helped his old man out of the siege, and pretended to be in front of Liang Chuan: "We will beat people when they are beaten. How do you treat them?"
Liang Chuan had no need to fight with this kid. This was his territory, and he belonged to the other party at the moment. He just said lightly: "Okay, you can be awesome today, but let me tell you, from today on, you Shicangxiang people If you cross our Fengshan Mountain and break a grain of sand, I will ask you to stay in Fengshan!"
Seeing this tit-for-tat scene, Hu Shui was afraid that the conflict would become irreconcilable. How could their little arms twist Liang Chuan's thigh?
"Ah Shui, please stop saying a few words. I am passing on the position of leadership here to you so that you can lead the villagers to live a good life, not to lead them to bully other people!"
Hu Shui still wanted to argue, but Ni Hu took it directly: "What happened in Liangchuan today is our Shicang villagers' fault. You are selling me an old face, and I will pay for this little brother's soup and medicine!"
The villagers of Shicang were a little excited when they heard this: "Lao Lizheng, how come you have so much ambition as others!"
Nihu scolded: "What do you know? If you were capable, I would have been righteous long ago, and you wouldn't be unable to get a wife now!"
The villager was so scolded by Nihu that he lost his temper, shrank his head and stopped making any sound.
Song Youcai didn't expect that Liang Chuan was so proud that he could subdue these nine-headed birds with just a few words!
"This is more or less the same. It's not easy to travel around the world. Take a step back and the sky is vast. We can see each other again someday! I still appreciate what you did, Lao Lizheng. It's not like some young people who think that they don't know how high the sky is when they move their buttocks. It will harm people!”
When Liang Chuan said this, he glanced at Hu Shui intentionally or unintentionally. He said this deliberately to him.
Don't talk about Hu Shui, he doesn't even look down on Duan Peng now!
Liang Chuan is naturally satisfied with the result of this treatment, but this is only a temporary measure, treating the symptoms but not the root cause!
Liang Chuan changed the subject and said, "I see that the people here are looking a little bad. What's going on?"
As soon as these words came out, Hu Shui became even angrier. He pointed at the noses of Song Youcai and others and cursed directly: "It's not just the disaster caused by these immigrants. From the time they arrived, several villages began to Some people died from the local disease, and then it spread to the entire countryside, and I think your next few villages will be affected too!"
Outside, Song Youcai and his entourage from northern Shaanxi gathered more and more outside Nihu's house. However, the complexion of these northern Shaanxi people was better than that of the mountain people. Some people also had symptoms of pale face and light feet!
Song Youcai retorted: "Which of your eyes saw that we brought the plague! If you can prove that we brought it, we will move out of your place immediately without saying a word!"
Hu Shuidao: "Our village has always been good. Ever since you Sangmenxing came, the villagers have started to get sick. Am I the only one who says so? My entire village can testify for me!"
Song Youcai sneered, looked at the villagers and said: "Of course you villagers will stand by your side and help you speak. Who can say anything about your own family members? We people are also good people along the way. I can also say that they have arrived. You just started to get sick in the mountains and valleys, and my elders can testify for me!”
Apart from tracing back to the origins of illness through high technology, who can tell where it started? And who can tell the order of illness? Often they don’t even know they are sick. Rural people use their bodies to fight against God. If they can survive it, they will be fine. If they cannot survive it, then they can only consider themselves unlucky!
Liang Chuan nodded his hand at Song Youcai. Song Youcai and his group immediately became quiet. The villagers of Shicang Township were still chattering angrily. Seeing that Song Youcai and his group ignored them and lost their temper, the scene suddenly became cold again.
It seems that Shicangxiang is not only a land dispute, but also has other problems, and the cause of the problem may be this disease!
plague! This is something more terrifying than war, rebellion, or famine. Even in peaceful and prosperous times, it may cause a terrible disaster with large-scale deaths!
Liang Chuan's head began to hurt.
No wonder Song Youcai was so anxious to look for him. The problem was far more than just that this place couldn't accommodate them. It's no wonder that these villagers in Shi Cang have nowhere to vent their anger. If it were him, his temper would be even worse than Hu Shui's!
But this is a plague. If you can’t find any reason, anyone will put this shit in the accounts of these outsiders. That’s how it is. We have lived well here for generations. As soon as they come, the villagers start to get sick. Don’t blame them. who!
Even Liang Chuan couldn't refute this reason. The plague may have been a disease in individual people at the beginning, but the mobility of the population would infinitely amplify the destructiveness of the plague, and there would be plague wherever it came into contact.
It seems that to solve the problem of Shicangxiang, no, to solve the problem between the local guests, Liu Yu and the villagers, we can only find a breakthrough from this incident!
Liang Chuan said: "Lao Lizheng and we are old friends. What's more, you and our He Lu's He Baozheng have a close relationship when they were young. Naturally, we He Lu can't just sit idly by when Shi Cang is in trouble. This is a brotherhood with only a thin strip of water. , I also hope that the people in Shicang can live a good life, but I am new here and I don’t know much about the situation in Shicang. Can you take me around to see what the situation is like with this plague? If possible, I have just what I have on hand. These two turned out to be royal doctors in the palace and the imperial army. If they can help, I will definitely invite them to the mountain to treat the mountain people!"
The royal doctor in the palace!
Liang Chuan's tone was so loud that it was unbelievable. The villagers and the refugees were all whispering to each other. They had heard about Liang Chuan's deeds, but they didn't expect that he could even control the imperial doctors in the palace like a charlatan. , this ability is too great!
Even Hu Shui was in disbelief, but what came out of Liang Chuan's mouth was that if he could really save the mountain people, he could only bow to Liang Chuan!
This plague has already taken away the lives of many people. If it continues to spread, not only the people on the mountain will be finished, but even the people below the mountain will also be finished!
The first one to bear the brunt is Helu Village!
Liang Chuan has no choice!
Even if it is not for the mountain people, it is also for the country people! And then there are these miserable refugees!
When Hu Ni saw it, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and shouted: "Everyone, be quiet!"
After everyone calmed down, Ni Hu said to Liang Chuan: "Xiaoyi Liang Sanlang is indeed an outstanding figure in Xinghua. Today I saw him in person, and he is well-deserved! The life of the mountain people is too hard. If we can survive this test safely, Shi Cangshan In the future, Liang Sanlang will be the only one who obeys!"
Nihu had long hoped that a capable person would lead the mountain people to become rich like the common people in Helu. Now he just took this opportunity to tie Liang Chuan to their poor old boat. Liang Chuan was said to be soft-hearted. For the sake of all this suffering, maybe these people will really have new hope!
