The Zhang family is one of the few large families in Duyuan County. With nearly a hundred servants in the family, Zhang Wenxuan is very domineering on weekdays, so that no one in the eight villages around the north dares to provoke him. Today Zhang Wenxuan was also unlucky. When he met Li Lin, a stupid young man, he was knocked down with one punch. The punch was so powerful that Zhang Wenxuan was hit with stars in his eyes.
Zhang Wenxuan fell to the ground and felt a numbness and pain in his nose. Then a thick liquid flowed out. He wiped it with his hand and saw that his hand was full of blood. He had been raping someone just now. Zhang Wenxuan, who was swearing in front of him, saw a trace of panic on his face when he saw Li Lin's sharp and cold eyes, and a sweat dripped down his face.
He didn't expect that anyone in Duyuan County would dare to attack him. The village chief's shout distracted Li Lin. At this time, a servant of the Zhang family saw the right moment and hit Li Lin on the back of the head with a stick. Out of instinct, In response, Li Lin turned back. At the moment when she turned around, another servant of the Zhang family raised a wooden stick with both hands and cut off Li Lin's forehead.
At this time, Li Lin didn't feel any pain, but she was a little dizzy. She saw his body slumped, fell to the ground and passed out. The Zhang family's servant on the side quickly ran to Zhang Wenxuan and pulled him over. Zhang Wenxuan helped him up from the ground
Seeing the blood on his hands, Zhang Wenxuan shouted arrogantly: Beat me to death. If you beat me to death, it will be mine.
As soon as more than 20 Zhang family servants heard what the young master said, they surrounded Li Lin and beat him with fists and kicks. When the second uncle, third uncle and Li Song saw Li Lin being pushed to the ground and beaten violently, the uncle The three nephews no longer cared about the danger. They went crazy and rushed towards the Zhang family members like tigers descending the mountain. Don't look at the Li family members, but if they start a fight, they can really kill them.
Youdao is a brother who fights tigers - Chen and his son are soldiers. The second uncle swings the stick and attacks from left to right. If he catches one, he will kill it. The third uncle holds a butcher knife and chops left and right. Li Song moves. I want to kick Xiao Ka to death with my hands. Zhang's servants, let them have a fight. It's okay to scare people on weekdays, but when it comes to risking one's life, no one is stupid.
To put it bluntly, the servants were just trying to make ends meet, and they didn’t have such a big hatred. Soon the more than twenty Zhang family servants couldn’t resist. They were beaten by the three uncles and nephews and kept retreating. Guangyuan Upon seeing this, the morale of the villagers in the village instantly became high. They waved their wooden sticks and hoes and started a counterattack. People on both sides became red-eyed at this. When the situation developed to this point, the village chief Shen Er could not stop him even if he wanted to. Can't stand anymore
Zhang Wenxuan saw that the men he brought were no longer as good as those from Guangyuan Village. If the stalemate continued, it would not take long for the men he brought to be defeated. After such a big battle, he did not take advantage of it and let others give it to him. If the beating spreads, it will not only lose the face of our Zhang family, but also make other people laugh. Then I won’t be able to see anyone in front of my relatives and friends when I go out.
Thinking of Zhang Wenxuan's glance at Li Lin who fell on the ground, he suddenly prepared to kill the people in Guangyuan Village as a warning. So he called a close aide and asked him to take advantage of the chaos and kill Li Lin. Seeing that the henchman ordered two servants to lift Li Lin up from the ground, he then walked up to Li Lin and raised a wooden stick as thick as his arm towards Li Lin's head.
If this stick were struck, Li Lin's life would be at stake. It would be even more dangerous if the uncle and nephew saw this scene not far away. Just now, the second uncle was a little restrained in his attack. When he saw his nephew's life When he was threatened, he also resorted to deadly attacks. Every time the stick was struck, a servant would faint and die. After knocking down several servants in a row, the second uncle showed a little fatigue and his movements slowed down.
If this movement is slow, a flaw will be revealed, allowing Zhang's servants to take advantage of the opportunity to chop the second uncle with a few sticks. The second uncle can barely hold on due to his strong body and bones. Now the only ones who can save Li Lin are the third uncle and Li Song. Although Li Song had a certain foundation in kung fu in his legs, he could not beat his four hands with two fists. More than a dozen Zhang family servants armed with sticks swarmed up and surrounded Li Song.
In desperation, the second uncle shouted to the third uncle: "Third uncle, hurry up and save Li Lin"
After hearing this, the third uncle said nothing and rushed towards the Zhang family servants who were about to attack Li Lin. No matter how many beatings he received on the way, he had only one thought in his mind - save his nephew. Son, Zhang's servant, holding a wooden stick high, struck Li Lin's head with a stick. Because Li Lin was in a coma, blood dripped down his forehead and fell to the ground.
Seeing that Li Lin was still breathing, Zhang's servant raised the wooden stick in his hand again. Just when he was about to cut it for the second time, the third uncle shouted and attracted the attention of several people. When Zhang When the servants of the Zhang family saw the third uncle holding a butcher's knife and rushing towards him with a desperate look, the three servants of the Zhang family were so frightened that they threw the thing in their hands to the ground, turned around and ran away.
The third uncle quickly helped Li Lin up from the ground. Seeing that Li Lin was in a coma, his heart skipped a beat. He was worried that something might happen to Li Lin, so the third uncle put his hand on Li Lin's nostril to test it. When the third uncle felt When Li Lin was still breathing, the heart hanging in his throat calmed down. He casually patted Li Lin's face. "Li Lin-Li Lin" saw that Li Lin had no reaction.
Third Uncle patted Li Lin's face a few more times, and then Li Lin slowly opened her eyes: Third Uncle
When the third uncle saw Li Lin waking up, he shed tears of joy: The eldest nephew woke up, and he had frightened the third uncle just now.
Li Lin shook his head to regain his senses. He looked at the third uncle with a confused look on his face: What happened to the third uncle?
The third uncle told Li Lin exactly what happened. Only then did Li Lin know the progress of the situation. He patted the dust on his body and got up from the ground. He saw the second uncle and Li Song not far away. Being besieged by the Zhang family's servants everywhere, Li Lin ignored the pain on her body, so she and her third uncle rushed towards the Zhang family's servants who were participating in the siege, and helped her second uncle and Li Song to rescue the siege.
At this time, the two sides fought equally on the river dam, and both sides also injured dozens of people. As the fight continued, a dividing line was opened in the crowd. People on both sides held hands and got things in unison. The fight turned into a stalemate. The two sides looked at each other and no one dared to step forward easily to cause trouble again.
I saw Zhang Wenxuan squeezed out of the crowd accompanied by his servants. He covered his nose with blood on his hands and shouted at Li Lin with arrogance: How dare you hit me? I am not done with you anymore. I'm going to go to the government to sue you.
Li Lin looked at Zhang Wenxuan's indifferent expression and snorted: You are the one who is being beaten, who are you trying to scare with the reporter?
Zhang Wenxuan threw the blood on his hand to the ground: I am a scholar from Duyuan County. Not only do I not have to kneel down when I meet the county magistrate, he also has to respect me three points. Unlike you untouchables who have to kneel down to answer, you If you do something to me, you are guilty of the following. When you get to the government, at least you will get a slap in the face, but at worst you will have your head thrown out.
When the people in Guangyuan Village heard that Zhang Wenxuan had achieved fame, their expressions turned pale. Even the village chief, Shen Er, had a sad look on his face. Seeing that the villagers were all bowing their heads and not daring to look at him, Zhang Wenxuan was so awesome again. Get up: Why do I know now that I'm afraid - it's too late
Li Lin raised her head and laughed when she heard what he said: "Xiucai, you are also a white man. You talk about yourself as if you are an official. You'd better report to the official as soon as possible. I will also accuse you of instigating a servant to kill me." Solve it together
Seeing Li Lin's menacing look, Zhang Wenxuan knew that he was wrong. Although he was a little scared, he couldn't let himself lose his face and prestige in front of his tribe and fellow villagers.
Zhang Wenxuan pointed at Li Lin: I am a person who has read a lot of poetry and books. Today I will discuss this matter with you.
Village Chief Shen Er: It’s good to be reasonable and have good feelings. We young and old men in Guangyuan are willing to listen.
Zhang Wenxuan was not a good person either. He rolled his eyes and said: This year's drought will lead to grain harvest in less than two months. We just want to dig a canal in the Guihai River to divert more water to irrigate our fields, but I didn’t expect that you would stop me again and again. They are all fellow villagers. Can you bear to see the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land of the people downstream without harvest? By doing so, you are undoubtedly forcing the people downstream to die.
A servant of the Zhang family immediately started shouting: The people in Guangyuan Village are so vicious. They don’t even give us any water. This is to force everyone to die.
And another servant of the Zhang family said: You are right, the people in Guangyuan Village want to force the big guy to death.
Zhang's servants and the people downstream, incited by Zhang Wenxuan, were in high spirits again. Seeing Zhang Wenxuan with a nosebleed in front of him, he put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance of asking for life for the people. It was very funny, but his face and face were very funny. Even if you use words to fool those who are not good at words, that’s okay.
Li Lin rolled her eyes: Guihai River has always been on the boundary of our Guangyuan Village. It is understandable that we draw water nearby, but your Zhang family has always used water from Danshan River. It is well water and does not interfere with river water. But now the weather is dry and you have no water. , so he confidently came to our place to dig canals.
If there is no water in Guihai River next year, can Guangyuan Village go to Danshan River to dig canals? Besides, your fields can be irrigated, but what should we do with the tens of thousands of acres of fields in Guangyuan Village? Who should I go to for explanation when I have no harvest? Is it your Zhang family?
This is not what everyone thinks when they hear it. When the Danshan River runs out of water, they go to the Guihai River to dig canals to divert water. But if the water in the Guihai River disappears one day, then who should we people in Guangyuan Village talk to for explanation? The villagers in Yuan Village instantly felt confident.
Immediately, some villagers stood up to support Li Lin: She wanted to use water from the Guihai River, but she acted like it was a matter of course, and wanted to forcefully dig out the canal. I really thought that the people in our village in Guangyuan were easy to bully.
"In recent years, the Zhang family has done a lot of things in the countryside with the support of the government. Who in Duyuan County doesn't know that the Zhang family made their fortune by colluding with the government to sell illicit salt."
"Well, I heard that the eldest son of the Zhang family seems to be an official in the state capital. He was talking nonsense and the officials arrested you all."
Seeing the villagers saying something to each other, Zhang Wenxuan was so angry that the corner of his mouth twitched and he didn't say a word for a long time. He cursed in his heart: How could these country bumpkins know about our family's illegal salt sales? If I knew who spread the news He went out to see how I deal with him, but Zhang Wenxuan became more and more dissatisfied with Li Lin. The more he looked at her, the more angry he became and blamed everything on him.
Zhang Wenxuan knew that they were not responsible for this matter. He thought that Guangyuan Village had a small number of people and he still had a good reputation. Based on this alone, no one dared to do anything to him. As long as he brought people to scare them, it would be easy. They dug the canal, but luckily, they met Li Lin, a stupid young man. Not only did he beat himself up, but he also spoke clearly and clearly, causing the whole thing to be completely different from what was planned. Now he was in trouble.
Now there are probably more than 100 people injured on both sides. Neither side took any advantage in the fight. Looking at Guangyuan Village when they started fighting, everyone was in a wolf-like and tiger-like posture, which made it difficult to cause trouble. If someone is killed, there is no way it will end if it happens like that. If it gets too big, my father won't be able to spare me. Today, I suffered the loss because I underestimated Guangyuan Village. I blame me for not being prepared enough in advance.
Zhang Wenxuan shouted in front of Li Lin, glaring fiercely at Li Lin: Dare I ask what I call you?
Li Lin casually pressed her nose: I’m Li Lin
Zhang Wenxuan pursed his lips and nodded after hearing this: "The Li family in Guangyuan Village, right? Today, we and the Zhang family have forged a relationship with the Li family. Let's see what happens in the future. I will settle this debt with you another day."
Zhang Wenxuan turned around reluctantly and waved his hand: Let's go
Seeing Zhang's servants and the incited people downstream, they were dejected and helping each other to leave. The villagers of Guangyuan Village danced and cheered on the river dam, but Zhang Wenxuan turned around and gave the villagers a blank look, then took The servants and the people downstream left
When the village chief Shen Er saw this, he quickly waved to the villagers and stopped the excessive behavior of the big guys: Oh, what, you think this is the end of the matter, this is just the beginning. As the saying goes, it is easy to hide an open gun and hard to prevent a hidden arrow.
Villager: We all understand what you said, village chief. Everyone is doing this just to make them angry and let out a bad breath.
Shen Er sighed: From now on, we people from Guangyuan will take turns stationed on the river embankment. If we can't keep it together, they will come to dig the canal again. The injured will recover at home, and the village will invite doctors to diagnose and treat everyone. Prescribe medicine, and those who are older should not go out during this period of time.
After arranging things, the village chief excitedly called his second uncle to his side: Jing Lin, thanks to the four of you, uncle and nephew, we were able to save the Guihai River today, especially Li Lin, a child who is not afraid of danger and is brave and resourceful. I didn’t know how to respond to Mr. Zhang’s righteous words. No one expected that Li Lin would refute Mr. Zhang’s words with just a few words.
Second Uncle: Village Chief, you are so grateful. Defending the Guihai River was the result of everyone’s concerted efforts. The four of us, uncle and nephew, only did a small part.
The village chief casually patted his second uncle on the arm: If there is something in the village that can help at home, just tell me, and the village who can help will definitely help.
Second Uncle: If the village chief needs help at home, I will tell you that all four of us, uncle and nephew, are injured and will go back first. If you need anything, just say hello.
Upon hearing this, the village chief waved his hand quickly: OK - then you go back quickly.
Seeing the four uncles and nephews leaving, the villagers on the side started chatting, "Among the younger generations in our Guangyuan Village, there really must be a few like Li Lin and Li Song."
"Yes, these two young men of the Li family are usually very talkative, but at critical moments they are quite talkative."
"But having said that, that junior Li Lin is really good. He beat Zhang Xiucai and was able to turn around. If it had been anyone else, he would have been bluffed by Zhang Xiucai."
"That's not what happened. Now that I think about it, cold sweat breaks out down my spine."
Shen Er was thoughtful after hearing this. The next morning he came to the Li family compound. My second uncle and I were working in the yard. The village chief shouted softly from outside the door into the yard: Jing Lin
When the second uncle saw the village chief coming, he quickly put down what he was doing and invited the village chief into the yard: Village chief, sit down quickly
After saying that, he asked me to pour a glass of water for the village chief: The village chief came to drink some water.
The village chief glanced at me: Jing Lin-Li Lin is a good kid. I want him to be the village chief of Guangyuan Village.
Li Lin was stunned, while her second uncle looked frightened: The village chief can't help it, there are so many elders in the village, how can Li Lin, a child, be able to take on such a big responsibility?
Village Chief: I think Jing Lin-Li Lin can do it. I’m too old to be struggling for a few more years. Someone has to be in charge of Guangyuan Village in the future. In the past few years, I’ve been able to help him in Zhang while I’m still strong. Have fun for a few years
The second uncle was about to speak when he was stopped by the village chief Shen Er: "Before coming, I have discussed it with the older generation in the village. The older generation all agreed. Sooner or later, Guangyuan Village will have to hand over young people like you." In your hands, waves of sand hit the beach - each wave is stronger than the last. Don't delay the matter of Village Chief Li Lin.
Li Lin blinked her eyes: Village chief, but I don’t know how to be the village chief.
Shen Er rolled his eyes at Li Lin: This kid, didn't I just say that I would help you stay in Zhang Le for a few years?
The second uncle glanced at me from the side: The village chief even said so, just accept it.
Li Lin: Okay then
Shen Er slapped his hands on his thighs: That's right. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll teach you slowly.
In this way, Li Lin became the head of Guangyuan Village in a daze.
