Zhang Hujun saw Zhao Heigou grabbing the bench, so he went up and grabbed the bench in Zhao Heigou's hand and said, "Do you dare to hit my eldest sister? Do you believe I will break your legs?"
Zhao Guoliang slammed the table, "Enough..."
Zhang Hulan held the bamboo pole with one hand and put the other hand on her waist, pointing at Zhao Heigou and cursing: "Zhao Heigou, you better keep your mouth shut. I have been fighting in the village since I was a child. If you dare to mess with me, I will kill you."
Daniu separated Zhang Hujun and Zhao Heigou. Zhang Hujun grabbed the bench and finally pushed Zhao Heigou, warning him: "Zhao Heigou, you'd better not mess with my sister again, or I'll be rude to you next time."
Zhao Heigou looked at Zhao Guoliang with a gloomy face, "Uncle, look at the Zhang family..."
"That's enough..." Zhao Guoliang slammed the table again, "Black Dog, watch your mouth from now on. Otherwise, sooner or later you'll get into trouble because of your mouth."
After Zhao Guoliang finished scolding Zhao Heigou, he looked at Zhang Hulan and said, "Hulan, we are all villagers, don't hit people without thinking."
"Uncle Lizheng, if he didn't provoke me, would I hit him? Hit him? I would even think it would dirty my hands. It's just that some people just have bad mouths and deserve to be punished."
Li walked forward and pulled Zhang Hulan, asking her to stop talking.
Some villagers also advised: "Hu Lan, don't bother with Zhao Hei Gou, just leave it as it is, ignore him."
"That's right. Everyone in the village knows who he is."
Some villagers also whispered, "Why is Zhang Hulan so angry? The wound on her head must have been caused by a fight with the man in her family."
"With such a bad temper, she must have fought with her husband a lot."
But the voices were very low and far away, so Zhang Hulan didn't hear them. Otherwise, she would have to have a good conversation with the two of them.
Zhang Hulan smiled at the villagers who tried to persuade her, and then said to Zhao Guoliang, "Village head, I am not angry with you. I also grew up in the village, and everyone knows what kind of person Zhao Heigou is. He has done all kinds of sneaky things in the village.
When someone's family has a wedding or funeral, everyone goes to help, but he goes with a mouth. People like him should be driven out of the village, and not allowed to bully the villagers."
Many people in the village agree with Zhang Hulan's words, but since they are all in the same village, they can't say such things without shame.
Zhao Heigou's wife is also a lazy and gluttonous person. The grass in their field grows better than the crops.
Zhao Guoliang said, "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's think of a way together to get through this period."
This was indeed the real business. Zhang Hulan said nothing more and walked back to Wang with Li to listen to what they were discussing.
Who can do anything about this situation? The villagers talked about it for a while but couldn't come up with a clear answer.
Zhao Guoliang said: "The most important thing now is water. It looks like the wells will be dry in a few days, maybe even tomorrow.
Food is still a bit better, at worst we have to eat grass roots and tree bark. We have encountered disasters in the past.
And I don't believe that you don't have any money at home. Why don't you use the money to buy food at this time? Are you going to take it with you to the ground when you die?
Fleeing famine is a last resort. Eight or nine out of ten people fleeing famine will die on the way, so I urge everyone to think clearly. "
Zhao Guoliang's words made the villagers feel even more depressed. Some elderly people had experienced several famines, and many people died in each famine.
Zhang Hulan is also trying to find a solution. The water supply is a big problem and must be solved. If the water supply is cut off in this weather, it is estimated that people will die of dehydration in two or three days.
She searched her mind for some place where water might be, and then she thought of the ditch where she had caught the snake.
In the past, water had been flowing down from the mountain for a long time, which means there was water on the mountain.
She also learned from her original body's memory that there was a big hole halfway up the mountain, and the water on the mountain flowed out of that hole.
Zhang Hulan felt that there might be caves and groundwater on the mountain.
So Zhang Hulan said, "Uncle Lizheng, why don't we go to the mountain and take a look?"
Zhao Guoliang asked: "Go to the mountain? Which mountain?"
"It's the mountain with water on it. Isn't there a big ditch at the bottom of the mountain?"
A villager asked, "But there is no water on the mountain now, right?"
"There is no water, so let's go take a look." Zhang Hulan said, "The water comes from a cave halfway up the mountain. Let's find a way to get into the cave and take a look. There was water there before, which means there is a water source. Let's see if the water has flowed to other places."
Another villager responded, "Although the cave is not small, it can't fit anyone in, right?"
"Then we should find a way to enlarge the hole. We can't just sit there and wait."
"We can go and take a look." Zhao Guoliang nodded and said, "Hu Lan is right. We can't just sit there and wait."
Zhao Guoliang asked, "Who is willing to go up the mountain with me tomorrow?"
After Zhao Guoliang asked, no one spoke.
After a while, a villager said, "It's been so dry for so long, where is the water? It would be a waste of time if we go."
Then another villager said, "Forget it, I'd better take my family to the city. If we stay here any longer, we'll either starve to death or die of thirst. Maybe there's a way out."
Zhao Guoliang's face didn't look good. "If you insist on leaving, I won't stop you. I'll just remind you to think it over carefully."
Zhao Guoliang finally called out the names directly, "Liu Yongquan, Wang Lin, Da Jun, Zhou Dashan, and Tie Zhu, you will follow me up the mountain tomorrow."
"Okay, let's all go."
The crowd dispersed, and everyone was worried.
Lack of water and food, it seems like God is going to kill them...
