"People from Linjia Village, you're really going too far. The crops in the fields are dying of drought, but you're guarding the reservoir and only caring about your own village's use."
"This reservoir originally belongs to our village. You have no right to interfere."
"We also contributed to the construction of the reservoir, so why should you be the only ones to use it?"
"One thing is another."
"It's really unreasonable. We are determined to carry this water today. No one can stop us."
"Let's see who dares. If you take another step forward, the hoe in my hand will not look good."
The two parties were arguing and confronting each other.
At this time, it all comes down to how many people there are in the village.
No wonder everyone wants a son. When there is a need, there is strength in numbers.
Li Mingqing stood two meters away to avoid being injured by mistake.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the village chief quickly stepped forward to persuade them.
"Fellow villagers, calm down and solve the problem first. Continuing to argue won't solve the fundamental problem."
"Village Chief Li, why are you here?"
"I'm here to talk to you, the village chiefs of Linjia Village and Zhaojia Village. Please excuse me."
The grain seeds for several surrounding villages were obtained from Lijia Village.
These thin noodles are still given.
Especially when they saw Li Mingqing.
People with headaches and fevers often go to him for treatment.
The two teams then went back home.
In the end, only the team leaders and village chiefs of the two villages were left.
"We found a spring in the mountains and came here to discuss how to use it to irrigate the fields. We'll alternate between using the reservoir and the spring, with each village using water for half a day."
"spring?"
"There's a spring on the mountain? Why didn't I find it?"
"Near the top of the mountain there is a clear spring that forms a small pond."
The four people from Zhaojia Village and Linjia Village were a little skeptical when they heard this.
How could there be a spring on the top of a mountain?
But the story was so convincing that they had to believe it.
Village chief Lin’s first reaction was that the Li family came to steal the reservoir water, but after dealing with them for so many years, he knew that Village chief Li and his people were not such people.
Seeing that they had not yet made a decision, Li Mingqing said:
"Captain Lin, it's useless for you to keep defending the reservoir. If the surrounding villages unite, you won't be able to stop them.
It would be better to let them come and fetch water, which would also bring good reputation to the village."
Captain Lin asked, "If the reservoir dries up, all our crops will be ruined."
"If you keep guarding the reservoir, it's inevitable that someone will attack your village's crops. It's the same as the saying that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If you force them, it might end up in a desperate situation, and no one will benefit.
There is still a month until summer, it is impossible for it not to rain forever.
Besides, the spring water in the mountain can last for a while."
Village Chief Lin and Team Leader Lin looked at each other.
Every sentence of Li Mingqing's analysis is on point.
If they angered a few villages and united them, it would be their Linjia Village that would suffer.
In that case, we might as well do as he says.
Finally, the village heads and team leaders of several villages were called over and the matter was explained in detail.
Set a time for each village to carry water.
They took turns fetching water from the reservoir and mountain springs.
