"What? You said Yiyun Village dug a well that can produce water?"
After hearing Zhao Si's report, Pei Zhong's eyes widened with disbelief.
He thought it was ridiculous. How could one dig a well in the mountains? He had tried before. When a severe drought came, he dug wells in many places in Zhongxin Village, but all he found was mud.
Yiyun Village is located at a higher level than Zhongxin Village, so how is it possible to dig a well there?
But Zhao Si's words were very convincing.
"Master Zhong, I saw it with my own eyes, I can't be wrong, all seven of my men went to Yiyun Village and didn't come back, why?"
"It's because there's water to drink in Yiyun Village. I saw them washing clothes and taking a bath."
"If they didn't have a well, would they dare to be so extravagant? And in the past two days, no one from Yiyun Village went to the spring to fetch water, which also shows that they are not short of water."
After hearing what Zhao Si said, Pei Zhong fell silent.
Although he thought it was impossible to dig a well, Zhao Si was his most trusted confidant and he also knew what water meant and would never lie to him about such a thing.
"Did you really see it clearly?" Pei Zhong asked again.
Zhao Si swore, "If I, Zhao Si, tell even a single lie, I will give birth to a son without an asshole."
If you dare to make such an oath, it is most likely true.
"Master Zhong, we are seriously short of water, and the water flow from the spring is getting slower and slower. If this continues, the village will run out of water."
Pei Zhong's eyes showed cruelty.
"Go and gather the brothers. Let's eat early today. Take out half of the wild vegetables and grass roots. Add bran to them all without firewood, and boil them with water. Then let everyone have a good meal."
When Zhao Si heard Pei Zhong's words, he knew that he was going to grab water, and his face immediately lit up with joy.
"Okay, Master Zhong, I'll go now."
Zhao Si left the room and first went to tell people to cook something. Then he came to the courtyard, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Come here."
Suddenly, the bandits who were sitting or lying down slowly stood up and gathered together.
"Listen to me, today Master Zhong will let you eat a mixture of grass roots and wild vegetables, without firewood."
When dozens of bandits heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and looks of joy appeared on their faces.
What kind of mercy is Master Zhong showing today? He is willing to let them eat wild vegetables. This is an unprecedented treatment.
But Zhao Si continued, "But you can't eat for free. After eating, grab your weapons and follow me to Yiyun Village..."
When the bandits heard that they were going to Yiyun Village to steal water, they did not hesitate.
When they left, they broke off relations with Yiyun Village. Now that Yiyun Village has water to drink but they are thirsty here, they must grab it.
If you have water, you can drink water even if you are not full.
Suddenly, many bandits became motivated.
None of the bandits thought there was anything wrong with going back to steal water. They were almost dying of thirst, and Yiyun Village was their lifeline, so they had to hold on to it tightly.
When your life is threatened, why would you consider so many things?
Just grab it!
Seeing that the enthusiasm of these bandits was aroused, Zhao Si's mouth curved up.
Let’s see how Yiyun Village can escape this disaster this time.
He thought it would be best to directly occupy Yiyun Village. In this way, they would have a well and could hold out longer. They could also use the water to go to the county town to exchange for some thicker clothes and get through the winter.
As for Pei Yun and the others, it depends on how Master Zhong deals with them.
Soon, a mixture of grass roots and wild vegetables was served on the table. The bandits ate it with great pleasure and said it was very appetizing.
Some of the bandits even had tears in their eyes.
Finally I got to eat wild vegetables. I have been wanting to eat this for a long time.
Although it was still hard to swallow, the bandits, who were used to eating a mixture of grass roots and firewood, thought it was a delicacy.
After eating wild vegetables, I felt more energetic to go to Yiyun Village to grab water.
Soon, the porridge was finished, and the bandits were still reluctant to eat more, but unfortunately it was gone.
Zhao Si stood up and said, "Today we will go to Yiyun Village. Whoever can make great contributions will be able to eat wild vegetables every day in the future."
All of a sudden, all the bandits stood up, looking excited.
As long as they can get food, they dare to fight with anyone.
After picking up various weapons, Zhao Si waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
Suddenly, dozens of bandits rushed towards Yiyun Village in a noisy manner.
Pei Zhong walked out of the room at this time. He had not shown up from beginning to end, and Zhao Si had done everything, so he could be picked out.
When his family fell into poverty, he and Pei Yi were forced to become bandits to support the family and make it better again. Although his methods were not very glorious, they saved the Pei family.
As a result, the old man refused to acknowledge his two sons for the sake of his noble family's reputation. Pei Zhong then decided to make a name for himself, rebuild his family, and make the old man regret it.
When starting a new family, one must always consider reputation. If someone tells about this matter, Zhao Si will be thrown out to take the blame.
…
Yiyun Village.
Baldy and others were hanging up the washed sheets and quilt covers. They are called sheets and quilt covers in a nice way, but they are actually fabrics made of plant fibers such as hemp and kudzu.
It hasn't been cleaned for such a long time that it is already full of fleas and lice.
The water that comes out of the wash is extremely dark and turbid.
Chen Er was assigned to clean the toilet, and Pei Yun asked him to clean it over and over again with water to reduce the smell.
This left the bandits speechless. This toilet had always smelled like this before, and the boss had never asked them to clean it. Ever since they woke up from the beating on the head by the officials, they have paid more attention to hygiene.
They are required to flush after taking a shit.
A wooden door was specially built these two days to replace the previous curtain. The door is closed after using the toilet to prevent the smell from escaping.
