Chapter 181 There is a nest
It would have been fine if Wu Liangshan hadn't said this, but once he did, the villagers of Jingui Village were furious.
"Wu Liangshan, are we afraid of your threats? You've forgotten your mother after you took the milk! Have you forgotten how you became the head of the village?"
"You ungrateful bastard! Without everyone's support, you're nothing!"
"That's right!" The onlookers from other villages nodded.
After living in the shelter for so many days, only the head of Jingui Village was absent, and everyone had already heard everything about Jingui Village.
A few months ago, the previous head of Jingui Village died suddenly of an illness. Wu Liangshan swore in front of the whole village that as long as he was allowed to be the head of the village, he would solve the water shortage problem in Jingui Village.
"Of course we didn't believe him! He made us swear that if he could get water, we would elect him as village head, and we agreed."
The villagers of Heihe Village immediately thought of what happened before. "He said he got water, but he came to Heihe Village to steal water. And you guys actually elected him as the village head! You really can't tell right from wrong!"
Residents of Jingui Village defended themselves, saying, "At the time, only a dozen or so people knew the water was stolen from Heihe Village. Most of us thought he had found the source. It wasn't until Heihe Village built its city wall that we realized it was he who had stolen the water!"
"We had a feeling something was going to happen sooner or later. Sure enough, Heihe Village drove them out, and Wu Liangshan went to the head of another village, saying he wanted to seize Heihe Village's water source!"
The villagers of Heihe Village were furious when they heard the word "occupy".
"So Wu Liangshan never intended to give Heihe Village a chance to survive from the beginning!"
"If it weren't for Yan Ping, our Heihe Village would have been bullied to death by those bastards!"
The three village heads of Baitang Village, Tanjiawan Village and Lijiapu Village were so eager to survive that they quickly ran forward to apologize.
"We believed his lies. He said there was so much water in Heihe Village that the reservoir couldn't hold it all, and the children were having a water fight by the pool!"
"We were confused for a moment and became his accomplices!"
They were furious when this matter was mentioned. Those who came to grab water were beaten up by Ye Yanping and had to lie in bed for several months before they recovered.
"Alright, what's the point of bringing up these past issues now?!" Wu Liangshan looked at Jingui Village. "You're all a bunch of fence-sitters. Didn't you use the water you stole back before? If you had succeeded in stealing the water, would you still say this to me?"
"And you three villages, when you came to Heihe Village to steal water that day, you were even more arrogant than those from Jingui Village. Don't act like I forced you to come here!"
The village head chuckled, "Wu Liangshan is right! I didn't want to talk about the past, but now that we've come to this, I want to tell you that what you did before can't be cleared up with just a few words now!"
"If you had a clear understanding of right and wrong, you wouldn't be instigated into doing such immoral things! After all, you're all just the same kind of people!"
The villagers of Heihe Village echoed: "Yes, after stealing the water, you villages still want our food. You went to the county government to report us. Our village was taxed 60% by that bastard official. You have harmed us!"
The people from the four villages were blushing and speechless.
"Okay, we have delivered the black soil, and we don't want to get involved in the mess between you two!" The headman turned around and walked towards the village.
"Zhuanglizheng!" Wu Liangshan followed, "All four shelters have refused me entry. They're trying to kill my whole family. You can't just ignore this!"
"Oh?" The village head was quite surprised.
Jingui Village has fallen out with Wu Liangshan, so it is understandable that they don’t want to take him in. But what about the other villages?
The three village heads of Lijiapu, Baitang Village, and Tanjiawan explained, "Village head, ever since he forced Heihe Village to hand over grain and we were beaten with a stick by the county magistrate, we've cut ties with him! Wu Liangshan is a man of evil intentions, and his ways are all crooked. It's best for us to keep our distance from him!"
Feng and Sun, the two village chiefs, said, "I heard that he called the people who blew the horn and called for help fools. We are stupid and don't want to deal with smart people like him!"
The two village heads of Hongfeng Village and Baxia Village said, "Since Wu Liangshan became the village head, he has often bullied small villages like ours. We have long disliked him!"
"Then I can't help you!" The village head said sympathetically, "You've only got yourself to blame for offending everyone!"
"Zhuang Lizheng, the shelter belongs to Heihe Village. It's just a matter of your words. How could you just stand by and watch someone die?"
"Why should I save you?" the village head said with a stern face. "If it weren't for you, our Heihe Village would have enough food to last for several years! I'm already giving you face by not beating you up! Get away from me!"
"If you don't want to take me in, then sell me the black soil!" Wu Liangshan stretched his neck and shouted, "Is the Ye family here? I want to buy black soil!"
"I won't sell it!" The little boy in the village head's arms spoke softly.
Wu Liangshan said impatiently, "Go away, what does this have to do with you, a little kid?!"
Wu Liangshan was extremely anxious. All the firewood at home had been burned out. If he couldn't buy black soil, his whole family would freeze to death.
"Hmph! It has nothing to do with me. I am a whore from the Ye family!" The little dumpling puffed up his cheeks angrily.
"Are you a child of the Ye family?" Wu Liangshan shook his head. "When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Now even a little girl is bullying me!"
The little kid frowned and snorted, "Don't chase me! What kind of wall are you?"
“Hahahahahaha!”
Everyone laughed, "Xiao Jiuer has seen it all. What kind of wall are you, Wu Liangshan? You are just a broken wall at best!"
"You...you forced me to do this!" Wu Liangshan gritted his teeth in anger. "If you are unkind, then I will be unjust!"
"What do you want to do?" The village head held the little boy in his arms tightly.
Wu Liangshan stood still, grinning sinisterly, "Big Brother, did you succeed?"
"Dad, I succeeded!"
Everyone thought something was wrong and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Wu Liangshan’s two sons running out of the shelter.
Flames and thick smoke rose in the shelter.
Inside the shelter, the doll's terrified cries were heard.
Everyone was in panic.
"Good heavens! They must have upset the fire in the brazier!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire! There are so many dolls in the house!"
"Wu Liangshan, you bastard, you're going to kill all of us!"
"Hahahaha!" Wu Liangshan laughed. "We already said we'd die together. With you guys taking the blame for me, it's worth dying!"
Everyone was in chaos, scrambling to put out the fire.
However, they had no water at all and usually boiled water with snow.
Without water, we can only use snow to put out the fire, and basins, buckets and other containers are all in the shelter.
The shelter was full of clothes and bedding, and it only took a moment for it to catch fire. The flames quickly shot up high, and the smoke became thicker and thicker.
It’s too late! Everyone fell to the ground in despair.
The villagers whose children were inside rushed in regardless of the danger, but soon came out jumping up and down!
"The fire is right at the door, there's no way to get in!"
"Oh my God, what should I do?"
Everyone cried and shouted together.
The shelter only has transoms, and there's no other way to get in except the door!
Amidst the cries and shouts, a soft and tender little voice reached everyone's ears.
"Don't be afraid! I have a nest!"
