Chapter 84 No Grass Grows

Three more days passed, and the spring in the valley finally dried up, without a drop of water left.

The lake was dry and the riverbed was clearly visible.

The rotten clams and fish give off a foul smell that makes people afraid to approach.

The village chief led people to search for water everywhere, but they returned empty-handed.

He could only suggest that the villagers hand over the water stored in their homes so that everyone could share it.

Naturally, this suggestion was met with opposition.

Who would be willing to give up the water they have worked so hard to store?

What's more, if you share the money, there is a high possibility that you will not have much left.

As a result, there was a scramble for water, and the village was in chaos for a while.

Suddenly someone stood up and said that the Liang family controlled the water source, but refused to say it out loud.

For a time, the Liang family became the target of public criticism.

"If you spend as frugally as we do, you can save a lot too."

"Even if we use it sparingly, we can't save that much. You must know where the water source is. Tell me!" Qin Dawei took a few steps forward. The flesh on his face trembled with his footsteps, and he looked extremely fierce.

"Yes, you must know where the water source is, otherwise there wouldn't be so much water to use. If you tell us now, you can suffer less." Liu Erzhuang also hurried forward to join in the fun.

He looked at Liang Huanxue, knowing that she was the apple of the eye of the Liang family. If he could use her to threaten them, he would not believe that the Liang family would not tell him.

So he took two steps forward, grabbed Liang Huanxue while the Liang family was not paying attention, and quickly retreated into the crowd.

His action was so fast that even Liang Huanxue couldn't react.

Liang Huanxue struggled hard, trying to break free.

But Liu Erzhuang held her very tightly, and she grimaced in pain when she moved, so she had to stay still, hesitating whether to grab a bug from the space to deal with him.

"If you don't want to tell us, we will take her away. We heard that someone in the county ahead sacrificed a little girl to the river god, and it rained." Liu Erzhuang naturally heard this news from hearsay.

He himself was not clear about what was true and what was false.

"I've heard about this, too. If we do the same, maybe..." Qin Dawei had also heard about this news.

"How dare you!" Liang Huanxue didn't expect them to say such words, and she shouted in anger.

He wanted to rush over to rescue Liang Huanxue from Liu Erzhuang, but was stopped by Old Lady Liang.

"Don't you see what they look like now? If you go over there, Huanxue will only get hurt." Old Mrs. Liang was also very worried.

I wish Huanxue could come back to me right away.

But she knew that if she ignored it now, it would only make them more angry.

By then, maybe I will really want to offer sacrifice to Huan Xue.

How can these few people in their family handle so many people?

People are selfish. If sacrificing someone else can save themselves, many people will choose to sacrifice that person without hesitation.

As long as it rains, what does it matter if Liang Huanxue is sacrificed?

"What's there to be afraid of? You can see that if it doesn't rain, we will all die. If only one person dies, we can all be saved, what's wrong with that?" Liu Erzhuang hated the Liang family to the extreme.

If they can make them suffer, they will certainly not spare any effort to fan the flames.

Liang Huanxue never thought that Liu Erzhuang would say such words in tribute to her.

As expected of Liu Chunhua’s younger brother, his heart is just as black as hers.

Liang Huanxue yawned and blinked at Old Lady Liang, signaling her not to worry.

Even if they really wanted to capture her for sacrifice, she would be able to escape unscathed.

"Liu Erzhuang, stop talking nonsense and let Huan Xue go!" The village chief said to Liu Erzhuang in a serious tone.

But he had no intention of letting go. "Village chief, you don't think your words will have any effect at this point, do you? Can you make it rain or make sure we don't have to worry about water?"

The village chief was choked by his words.

At this time, no one would take him, the village chief, seriously.

After all, your own life comes first.

"If they can tell me the location of the water source, I would consider letting her go." Liu Erzhuang looked at Liang Yuanshan provocatively.

In fact, he didn't believe that the Liang family had any water source. The village chief and his men searched almost every corner of the village but couldn't find any water source.

How would they know?

When Liang Huanxue saw Liu Erzhuang like this, she knew that he was not the one who leaked the information.

Then... who could it be?

Who else in this village holds such a grudge against the Liang family?

Liang Huanxue's eyes fell on Shen He.

Just as she was thinking about it, Liang Yuanwen told her the location of the water hole.

"It's not really a water source, just a water hole right there."

Everyone went there immediately.

Liang Huanxue was also led there by Liu Erzhuang.

But when we got there, we didn't see any trace of Shuiwo.

"Where is the water pool here? The ground is dry and cracked."

After the flowers in that patch were poisoned to death by Liu Chunhua, no grass grew in that place anymore.

After being exposed to the wind and sun for so long, the ground was covered with cracks and there was no trace of moisture at all.

Not to mention any water pits.

Liang Yuanshan and Liang Huanxue were also surprised.

The water hole disappeared unexpectedly.

But thinking about it carefully, he realized that when he came here alone before, he had never seen any water holes.

It seems that the water hole only appears when Huanxue is around.

"Only Huanxue knows where the water hole is." Liang Yuanshan said.

"Do you think I will believe you?" Liu Erzhuang didn't want to let Liang Huanxue go.

"Liu Erzhuang, why don't you let Huan Xue go!" the village chief shouted.

Instead of placing hope on a river god who might not even exist, it is better to place hope on Liang Huanxue.

After all, they actually saw the water at the Liang family.

So at this moment there were not many villagers standing on Liu Erzhuang's side, and they all asked him to put Huan Xue down.

Under pressure, Liu Erzhuang had to release Liang Huanxue.

With her feet landing on the ground, Liang Huanxue walked to the place where the water tank was placed before, took out the water tank from the space, and put it back.

She moved so quickly that no one noticed what she did.

I just saw a pond suddenly appeared there, the water was clear and not contaminated by any dust.

"Wow! There is really water!" The villagers were delighted to see water appear in the water pit.

Crowds of people crowded forward, stretched out their hands to scoop up the water from the crater and drink it.

No matter how much water they scooped out, the pit would fill up again.

"That's great. Now we don't have to worry about water shortage." The village chief heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the water hole.

"Since you have already known about this sinkhole, why don't you tell us about it? Do you want to keep it for yourself?" Liu Erzhuang still did not forget to sow discord.
