Chapter 162 Villagers of Siliu Village ([-])

The southern village border that the old man took Qi Ke to see is a pitiful small river. The river surface and water depth used to be able to sail boats, but now it can only be used for washing clothes. Already done.

This small river is not important to the villagers of Siliu, it is just a village boundary river, but to the villagers of Sanliu on the other side of the river, it is the river with the largest volume of water flowing through the village. There are relatives, and they have been domineering for many years. Seeing that the water level of the river shrinks year by year, and they don't reflect on their own mistakes at all, they know that they are holding on to Siliu Village and insisting on asking the salt merchant to pay for Sanliu Village. Liucun looked for water again.

Qi Ke asked clearly that the ultimate direction of this small river was the sea, and suddenly felt that the river was already so shallow that what could be done if the river was blocked, and the sea did not lack this amount of water to replenish.

However, there is no need to talk about rehabilitating old accounts. Sanliu Village is already a dead village. Why the former villagers did not block the river is a matter of the past. The new villagers will have to do so if they want to keep the water consumption during busy farming.

After seeing the boundary river in the south of the village, Qi Ke followed the old man to the boundary river in the north of the village, which is the village boundary of Si and Wuliu villages. The situation is the same as that of the boundary river in the south of the village, and it is even worse. The owner of a water vein is a big family in the county. It seems that the big landlord in Siliu Village is a salt merchant with no background in the county. Let alone busy farming, he usually instigates the villagers to fight for waterways. Fortunately, the salt merchant is somewhat capable. , did not tell Wuliu Village to occupy the waterway of Siliu Village, otherwise the villagers alone would not be able to deal with the children of big families backed by their families.

Qi Ke felt that these three villages were really powerful. One was backed by a relative of a general in the army, one was backed by a big family, one was a salt merchant, and each of the three villages had a big family who refused to accept each other. From the experience of reading various novels, I can fully imagine what kind of open and secret struggles there were every day between these three parties.

However, these are all things in the past, the big households have all withdrawn, and now these villages are empty, and those who can escape have fled. The eighteen people in Siliu Village are now considered to be very popular, and some villages There are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled left, and you can still see people when you go to the sea. It is not surprising that you will see fewer people one day, either sick or gone.

Qi Ke keeps all these stories in his heart, and can write them in the investigation book and hand it over to Bai Jiajun, so that the army can understand the living conditions of the villagers as soon as possible.

After returning to the village, the people who happened to enter the mountain also came back with firewood and wild vegetables to prepare for the first meal of the day. Qi Ke sent the two old people back to Yuan Ting's home, and declined their invitation to eat together, on the pretext of tidying up the day. About the situation collected in the morning, we made an appointment to talk about it in the afternoon, and then we said goodbye and left.

After returning to Zhuangzi, Qi Ke immediately flashed into the spiritual realm and took out the drone. Taking advantage of Yuan Ting and his group being busy eating, no one was walking around in the village, and the sky was bright and sunny, she immediately put the drone on the sky to scan The whole area of ​​the village and the surrounding environment of two adjacent villages.

Yuan Ting and others, who have been busy in the mountains until now, naturally didn't notice it. They were tired and hungry, and all their thoughts were on the stove.

Qi Ke finished taking the pictures she wanted to use, put away the drone, and then found a room in Zhuangzi that someone had lived in, because she didn't want to clean the dust. Usable.
