These people become jealous because of envy, and become resentful because of being rejected.
So, on the morning when my uncle's injury had almost healed and he went up the mountain to chop firewood, he was brutally attacked by a sneak attack.
Fortunately, there were many villagers coming to the mountains to chop firewood at that time. Someone discovered his miserable appearance and carried him back to the village. Otherwise, he would have died in the mountains.
And the dog meat in their house was ultimately not saved as it was stolen by these people who climbed over the wall in the middle of the night.
The scoundrel was not from their village, but a carpenter named Mopangou. People used to call him Carpenter Wang, who was in his forties.
He was a big, strong man with a strong build. He brought a few apprentices to their village and worked as a furniture maker for a family.
Now I don’t know where to find a job. He is not in this village. Even if we want to hold him accountable, there is nothing we can do.
After hearing this, Zhao Wei kept this person in mind and planned to visit him again when he had time.
People leave traces when they pass by; wild geese leave sounds when they pass by.
As long as this man is alive, there is nothing he cannot find out.
Next, he inquired about the new president of their village.
That person is a man of action, and he is completely different from his predecessor.
Zhao Wei likes dealing with such practical people the most. They don’t beat around the bush and are dedicated to benefiting people.
So, he went to the door empty-handed, without planning to give any gifts. He still wanted to test the waters before making a decision.
If the other party gave him the cold shoulder because he didn't give any gifts, he would just turn around and leave without caring about the life and death of the village.
After all, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words.
Even people like Village Chief Liu were not willing to believe him, and he did not expect that he would be able to reach a cooperation agreement with the village by coming here today.
As a result, as soon as he announced his name, the president of Wujiaping came forward to shake hands with him in surprise.
"I have heard of your great name for a long time, but I never thought I could see you in person today. You are truly a young man to behold, and you have a bright future ahead of you!"
This person spoke with such enthusiasm that Zhao Wei felt a little embarrassed.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a long time. The other party made tea and prepared melon seeds and candies for them. He was quite attentive and considerate.
Zhao Wei then explained the measures he had taken to prevent high temperatures in Yushu, and then made a suggestion to the local authorities.
"I see that the terrain of your village, if you are willing to dig a canal with us, maybe we can get through this difficult time."
"But even if the hot weather passes quickly, I think it's worth digging this canal. After all, we all rely on the weather for our livelihoods. There will always be dry spells in the future, and this can ensure that there is enough water for farmland, so we don't have to worry about it anymore. What do you think?"
What Zhao Wei said was really irresistible.
The president of Wujiaping also wants to do something practical in this village.
So he said, "That makes sense, but there needs to be a plan for how to dig the canal and where to dig it from. Otherwise, it will be a waste of manpower and resources, and I'm afraid the villagers will complain."
No one wants to go out to work in this kind of weather.
The seedlings in the field are almost dying of the sun, and watering them is already the limit of human power.
If we take people to dig canals again, people might die.
The people of Yushudun were happy to do this job because they had meat to eat, but the people of Wujiaping were very poor and could not get anything to eat.
If you don't have any oil in your stomach, how can you have strength in your hands?
This place is quite far from the forest, and Zhao Wei can't go up the mountain to drive the prey.
But he also had a way to ensure that the people of Wujiaping had enough food to eat.
On the way here, he saw this place where a plant called cassava was planted all over the mountains.
This thing is slightly poisonous, but it is indeed edible.
It generally only grows in hot mountainous and forested areas. This place has a northeastern climate, so such plants should not exist.
All we can say is that God favors the people of Wujiaping, allowing them to have such a unique geographical advantage without knowing it.
Zhao Wei picked up a piece of wood and brought the other person directly to the roots of the plant.
Then he dug it out of the soil and pointed at the spindle-shaped rhizome and said, "Use a knife to scrape off the rough outer skin of this thing, slice it, dry it in the sun, and grind it into powder. You can make porridge or cakes with it. It's enough to fill you up!"
"Be sure not to peel it and cook it thoroughly before eating it, otherwise your mouth will feel numb and stinging, and your throat will burn."
After hearing that it was poisonous, the man looked at the large piece of rhizome and said fearfully, "Our ancestors didn't say it was edible, so why don't we eat it? Your life is more important!"
If someone dies from eating it, he can't take the responsibility.
Zhao Wei said speechlessly: "As long as you cook this thing, you will be fine. At least you can eat it and die of fullness. If you want to starve to death, it's up to you. That's all I have to say. You can think about it slowly!"
"When you figure it out, come to me at Yushudun and I'll make you a map for digging a canal."
After saying that, Zhao Wei threw the hoe in his hand back to the other party and left the village without looking back.
He also wanted to go to the neighboring villages to persuade them and help them dig canals.
If the downstream area is unobstructed, flood discharge will be effective when there is heavy rain in the future.
This village still needs the cooperation of Yushudun.
However, the people in this village are not so easy to get along with. Last time, because of the dam incident, Wang Hu and his people were arrested.
Now, there are still many people in this village who hate him.
He came here alone now, and was really afraid that the families of these people would do something wrong and beat him up.
