Chapter 76 About Good and Evil (Part [-])
The banner of Erdaohe Village was planted in Wangjiagou Village, and the tarpaulin sheds exclusive to Erdaohe Village were also set up, one next to the other, in a row.There are as many as ten of them, and they are stuck on the uphill slope of Wangjiagou Village.

Just look at each oilcloth shed has a big pot, food, two rows of bench rest areas, and a stack of wooden bowls.

Pull up the rope in the shed, and put various dry rags on it, dry firewood, and a brazier.

At this time, moxa was burning in the brazier, and gourds and ladles were floating in the bucket. The people inside were busy, passing torches out continuously.

When it was dark, the torches sent out from these sheds burned more vigorously and brightly than those in other people's hands.

Zhao Dashan had a middle-aged subordinate named Shuangquan, he couldn't bear it any longer, he stood outside the shed and asked loudly:
"You Erdaohe went to Wangjiagou to live? Why did you even bring mugwort and water?"

In the shed, Da Hongzi was cooking porridge for the men who went down the river, and he had to drink something warm after a while.

The people in their village have already thought about it, and they want to eat everywhere, so they collectively gather food and go to Wangjiagou to cook.If you don’t borrow a house from Wangjiagou people, it’s not that you have to struggle to burn firewood for heating in your own home, let alone have a hot meal after a day’s work.

Da Hongzi didn't panic when he heard the words.

What are you afraid of?Their village is no longer in the past, there are people they know, and there are people above them.

It's the leader, she knows it all too well, that is Xianghua's eldest nephew, and he can catch up with him. He wants to be with Xianghua's in-laws.

So Da Hongzi also replied loudly: "This is not to prevent a major epidemic after the disaster. Don't wait for the rain to stop. I heard that it is more scary, isn't it? Burning moxa allows us to stay at ease in our own shed."

And when I went out to sell fish in the past two days, I had already exchanged a lot of good mugwort leaves picked in various villages before and after Qingming. I was worried that it was too close to Wangjiagou, and Wangjiagou would be infected if something happened.

As for water, of course you have to bring your own, Da Hongzi told you:

"Emma, ​​adults, come down, the well water in this Wangjiagou is undrinkable, please help them. There are cesspools used to fertilize the land, and many huts have collapsed. Think about it, livestock and poultry excrement and human excrement are mixed with the river water coming up and poured into the well... Tsk tsk, we Erdaohe people don’t drink it.”

These words made all the yamen servants startled for a moment, and they all paused in unison.

What will they drink then?

The officials had a hunch that they would borrow something from Erdaohe Village later.

When they arrived at the dam, the officials were even more shocked.

Who said there is a shortage of rescuers here?
It can be described as a sea of ​​people here, and the torches are brightly lit.

Wait until you take a closer look, listen carefully... Ah, Que.

Because more than half of the strong laborers did not participate in emergency rescue, they only focused on catching fish, shouting slogans, and they worked in full swing.

You said they did it right?Comparing the miserable state of Wangjiagou, I always feel that that side is crying, and it is a little unreasonable that you are busy making money here.

But you want to say that they did something wrong?Regardless of which aspect, it really didn't delay Wangjiagou's emergency rescue.

And this team is particularly conspicuous, too imposing.

Zhao Dashan observed the Erdaohe team, from fishing to transportation, and then another group of people went down the river, and when the Wangjiagou side was about to block the hole where they were, the Erdaohe villagers did not delay Wangjiagou to rush to repair the dam. They will be trained to evacuate immediately, and go to the next dike break to catch fish.

It can be seen that all processes are coordinated with each other.

Zhao Dashan stopped an Erdaohe fish picker and asked where Aunt Xu was.

The other party replied that my aunt was leading people to help Wangjiagou investigate the breakout points at night, and the water gushing points were all found by Erdaohe.

In other words, it can also be explained that his aunt is leading people to find fishing spots.

Zhao Dashan: "..."

And Zhao Dashan has heard that after each flood, more than ten thousand catties or even tens of thousands of catties of fish will be lost.It's gone.

Looking at the scene in front of me again, I don't know whether I should be thankful that Erdaohe is able to live well, after all, it is better to scoop up less losses than to lose it.All the fish washed down from the town and county by the current, all passing through this water area, are all blocked by Erdaohe Village downstream.

Zhao Dashan still had the illusion that he seemed to see a certain regular logistics army.

Even if it is the Huo family army, after a little more training, the strong men of Erdaohe village can be taken away, and it will not be a problem to be the leader of the logistics team and transport food and grass.

In general, Zhao Dashan felt that he might be able to do it without training.

Wang Laoba heard that Catcher Zhao had brought people here, so he rushed to complain to Zhao Dashan, "Butou Zhao, I didn't talk nonsense in the administrative office, did I? You saw them robbing Erdaohe Village with your own eyes, right? Run away from us. The village is rampant and domineering. This does not mean that we are robbing our village of money, and our whole village hopes that you will preside over justice."

It can be seen that Zhao Dashan came this time not only to lead people to rescue.

At noon today, Zhenting came to him and said that people from Erdaohe Village went to Wangjiagou to make trouble and fish.

When Zhenting asked him to talk, Zhao Dashan thought it was just a small number of Erdaohe villagers who came over to pick up fish while the water was coming, and it was no big deal.

That's why when I entered the village just now, I was shocked that it wasn't just a small group, it turned out that all the villagers of Erdaohe Village had come.

……

Zhao Dashan deliberately found a place where no one was around, and asked the accused Liu Laozhu to talk to Aunt Xu.

Liu Laozhu's trouser legs were still rolled up, and when he heard that the defendant had been accused, he said to Zhao Dashan angrily:

"What are you suing us for? Their village should thank our eight generations of ancestors for knowing.

Zhao Butou, you should know that if there are many dead fish and dead livestock and livestock are not disposed of in time, there will be a plague after the flood, and then one village after another.

Your aunt and I led the villagers to plunder fish in the heavy rain. We were helping them, and everyone was heartless.

Then what, if the fish are washed up and no one has time to salvage them, they will all die after two days, and let their village be mixed with feces to cause plague?

The boys in our village, what is called using their bodies to help them block the cold flood and prevent the fish from dying, thinking that we can’t lose so many fish for nothing, and if we lose so much fish, we have to go to other counties. Isn’t that in vain?

That’s why I rushed here, I wanted to catch the fish while they were flopping, in exchange for a few full meals, and some fish for people from other villages, so that everyone can eat cheap fish during the New Year. Is this wrong?
Besides, if we don't catch it right now, it will be gone in a flood. We will not be able to catch fish for many days after we live by the river.This piece of river noodles will be as sick as a person, and it will take a while to raise it. What should we eat and drink? ! "

The more Liu Laozhu talked, the more angry he became, thinking:

The old thing in Zhenting, regardless of indiscriminate injustice, leaned towards Wangjiagou.

Be biased, there are times when you eat melons.

Either that old thing Zhenting wants to benefit.

This is really when no one is trying their best to salvage, they would rather let all the fish stink than get plague, and don't let people eat it well.

When the fish is salvaged and found that it is a good thing that can be exchanged for money, I start to be jealous again, and start to talk about this principle and that rule.

Liu Laozhu showed disappointment, shook his head and said:
"Catcher Zhao, for your aunt, I can tell you something from the bottom of my heart.

I want to ask, since Wang Lizheng is not in the village at this time, and he hasn't come back yet, did Zhenting ask?

Zhenting doesn't hold Wang Lizheng accountable, so does this talisman conform to his principles and rules?
He sat in the hospital with a big belly, he didn't care about what he should do, and he was talking nonsense when he shouldn't. He was capable of torturing us suffering people. "

Today's Liu Laozhu has completely realized one thing, that is:

The bigger the officials are, the more deceitful they are.

It will only trap more people.

Liu Laozhu was so angry that he squatted on the ground, "Don't you know that, without a good official to make the decision, do you think this day will be good?!"

Zhao Dashan was speechless.

He found that Liu Lizheng was no longer sneaky like before.

Mrs. Xu took over the words: "As for the bastard who sued us for stealing pigs and beating people, that's not stealing, and it's not beating people."

Mrs. Xu started by talking about how many men in the village were injured by burning firewood, whether Wang Laoba took people to Erdaohe to make trouble twice, should he be compensated.

Pass the confession sheet written by Wang Laoba to Zhao Dashan.

It's no secret that Mrs. Xu said that Wang Laoba bullied a girl from a good family because someone saw him running away from the sorghum field with his pants up.The girl who was bullied was from a poor family, and the Wang family was powerful. Although her parents had come to make trouble, but some immediate relatives who were not separated from the family at the stall were unscrupulous and collected some money in private. These relatives changed their minds and said it was a misunderstanding.

All of this can be investigated, and there are more than one or two things. How many years has it been called rampant.There is no shortage of sneaky things.

"He's not a good guy."

Mrs. Xu knew that Zhao Dashan was under pressure, all the higher officials were higher than him, and she was only transferred from outside for two months and didn't know the situation of each village.

She is just very disappointed in this world:

"Dashan, as you can see, our village has indeed caught a lot of fish.

But you don't know, there are 110 households in our village, and there is not a single one who is willing to eat a serious meal, whether it is braised in soy sauce or stewed in clear soup.

Such poor villagers who know how to live, being oppressed by Liu Lizheng and me, didn't take a chicken or a duck from Wangjiagou indiscriminately.

To put it bluntly, why did the imperial court fight on the border?You don't eat or drink before you rob, and you fight wars, right?Then why are there more uprisings and bandits in bad times?Those people couldn't control themselves in a hurry.

But it was us, a group of illiterate ordinary people, who didn't take anything in a daze.Do you know how difficult it is to reason with people who are hungry and not to steal their meat?They got themselves under control.

Do you know how it feels when you see those people who do all kinds of evil live a good life, and let us poor people try to persuade themselves to be kind? "

"Aunt..."

Mrs. Xu waved her hand to stop Zhao Dashan, and listened to her.

She suddenly felt discouraged and wanted to tell the truth:

"If we are still sued like this, if we can still sue us, then we should stop fighting internally, this is what is in our hearts.

I don't know if you understand what internal friction means?
That is to say, if I don't teach my Tian Xin to be kind, it won't be good anyway.

If you don't teach the boys in our village to be good people, what are you doing by yourself?There is no benefit in being so aggrieved, so as long as you can make yourself live a good life, just say nothing and fight against them.It's no wonder that those bad guys can live a good life, as long as they lose their conscience! "

Liu Laozhu stood up with a whoosh: "My mother, I will take the lead in stealing chickens."

"Hey, Liu Lizheng, auntie."

In fact, Dashan felt aggrieved when he heard it, "You have to believe that they are good officials, and there are bigger and better officials. If there are, don't be discouraged. Let's not talk about it, auntie, I will ask ordinary villagers in Wangjiagou and get Several testimonials prove that you have been using your body to help them block the river estuary, and I can make decisions for you. Not only can this fish be caught, but I will also suggest..."

Liu Laozhu suddenly said: "Then suggest that the town pavilion award us an advance payment of fishing salt." There are so many fish that have long been unsalted, and each household is waiting.
