Everyone stopped fighting, except for Wu Gousheng who was still attacking.
Chen Lizheng angrily shouted, "Wu Gousheng! What are you doing?"
Wu Gousheng looked up and saw Chen Lizheng. He released Chen and slowly stood up. "Lizheng, he hit me first!"
"Don't you know who started it?" Chen Lizheng already knew the whole story.
The contamination of the well water is a serious matter, and it is also the reason for the plague. Now Wu Gousheng is preventing people from drawing water, which is cutting off their livelihood.
"Hmph!" Wu Gousheng turned his face away and patted the dust off his clothes.
