Ge Shui added, “For those of us who are poor, we are reluctant to buy water even if it costs only one cent per bucket. We only buy a little when necessary;
But there are only so many people in the team, so it's impossible for people to buy water every day. Basically, only one or two people will show up every three to five days. Moreover, there are several private water cellars, so people can't all buy from the same one. So, if we want to make money, we have to set the price higher.
Li Chen and his companions understood that if necessary, they would buy water no matter how high the price was.
The owner of the private water cellar took advantage of this fact, which is why he dared to set such a high price.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Yunqin asked curiously, "Captain, do the team members have any objections to them doing this?"
"Why would you object? They spent so much money to build a water cellar, so why can't they earn a little? Besides, if they don't sell water, who will buy it from when they need it?"
From this sentence, it can be seen that the people of Nangou Brigade are quite reasonable, which makes Li Chen feel relieved.
"Captain, can the team buy jars and barrels?"
"Yes, we have potters and carpenters in our team. They have ready-made ones at home. I'll find them for you when I get home. Don't worry, the price will definitely be low."
"Okay, thank you."
"It's not a big deal, just running an errand."
At this moment, Li Chen suddenly remembered what happened in the morning, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face. "Captain, I want to ask you something. I wonder if you can answer it?"
"What is it?"
"Do you have a grudge against Pang Weimin?"
Captain Ge was one of the six people who were targeted in the division of personnel. Li Chen felt that he needed to know the relationship between him and Pang Weimin.
Because only by figuring out this matter can Li Chen know whether to ask Pang Weimin for help when he encounters difficulties in the future, or how to ask for help.
There was no way. From previous events, it could be seen that the conflict between the two sides was extremely serious. He was worried that when that day came, he would accidentally say something wrong, and Pang Weimin would not only not help him, but would also add insult to injury.
Hearing this name, the smile on the captain's face instantly disappeared, and he snorted coldly, "I have no grudge against that idiot."
Li Chen: ...
Do you think I'm blind or deaf?
In your current state, you still dare to say that you have no grudges?
Ask the people present here if anyone believes this statement.
"Since there is no grudge, why would he target you?"
"He wasn't targeting me, he was targeting us. We had no grudge against him, but we did have a grudge against his superiors. He was doing this to vent his superiors' anger."
Li Chen and others were stunned. Judging from Pang Weimin's posture, his rank must be quite high.
Not to mention his superior, who might be one of the most powerful people here. How did you little captains manage to make enemies with such a person and still sit in this position safely?
Although he thought so, he couldn't ask directly, so Li Chen approached the question from another angle, "Captain, why do I feel like Pang Weimin is very afraid of you?"
"He's not afraid of us, but the people behind us." The captain explained, "Two years ago, due to some incidents, we beat his superior half to death, and then we became enemies. However, we have a backer, and his superior can't do anything to us, so he can only swallow his anger.
I don't know if this person gave me any clues, but from that moment on, the other party's subordinates used various means to suppress us, both overtly and covertly. There were no big moves, only disgusting tactics.
This time when you went to the countryside, we suspected they would play tricks in dividing the people, so we discussed it in advance. If that was the case, we had to vent our anger today, and you all saw the result. "
Liu Yunxiao was a little confused. "Shouldn't Pang Weimin be attacked in this situation? Why are you attacking the other captains?"
"Although we have backers, they are not in this county, so we can't go too far. Pang Weimin has given in, so we can't do anything to him. We can only take out our anger on those lackeys."
At this point, the captain suddenly laughed, "But that idiot insisted on taking sides, so it's not our fault."
Li Chen and Liu Yunxiao were secretly amazed.
The background is not in this county, which means something very special in these days.
Especially since the other party was beaten half to death and was able to endure it from two years ago until now, considering the current situation, this is even more unusual.
However, compared to finding out the backers of Captain Ge and his men, the two of them were more curious about why such a few people would use such heavy hands in the first place.
Hearing the question, Captain Ge couldn't help but sigh, but he was unable to speak.
Seeing him like this, Li Chen immediately understood that it was not convenient to talk about this matter, so he changed the subject and talked about something else.
After walking for more than three hours, the group finally arrived at Nangou Brigade.
When they saw where they would be living for the next few years, except for Xiong Xue, the other three people opened their mouths wide and remained speechless for a long time.
To be honest, the local natural scenery with its crisscrossing gullies, deep river valleys and undulating hills was not as shocking as the three cave dwellings before them.
The walls of the cave are full of potholes and the roof is covered with withered weeds. Even though the doors and windows are new, it still gives people a sense of dilapidatedness.
At this moment, a thought emerged in their minds at the same time: all the renovated ones are like this, what did they look like before the renovation?
This is what it looks like if you remove the doors and windows.
After a long silence, Li Chen asked with difficulty, "Will this cave collapse?"
The captain didn't dare to give a definite answer and could only say ambiguously, "It's hard to say, but it seems to be fine anyway."
Upon hearing this, Li Chen and his companions instantly had the urge to turn around and leave.
