The first thing I found was Zhang Guoquan. Before dawn, he came to the river beach to wash the white pigeons' faces. The wooden barrels that fell into the river should have fluttered with the flow of the river. In the past, as long as he followed the force and held his handle tightly, the wooden barrels would be filled with river water.

But this time, that happened. The wooden barrel trembled slightly on the river surface and lay there flat.

The phenomenon of wooden barrels on the river being stationary has never been encountered before. Zhang Guoquan pressed the wooden barrel with confusion and picked up a bucket of water. When he walked to the river bank, he turned around and looked at the cultivated land.

He can't wait any longer. It won't rain anymore. Should he keep waiting?

It is always said that farmers rely on God to make a living. This sentence is not wrong, but it does not mean that farmers have to lie down and sleep every day, and just wait for God to feed them without doing anything. This is not advisable.

If the weather is not good, then you have to think of some other solutions. Fortunately, it is close to the river beach and he can carry water to irrigate the land. It's just a little hard work, but compared with a happy and beautiful life, this hard work is nothing.

During the meal, many villagers passed by the gate of the courtyard, some carrying buckets, and some holding their heads. It seemed that they had the same idea as Zhang Guoquan and were about to use river water to water the ground.

It doesn’t rain anymore, and the fields are so hard that the villagers naturally can’t wait.

When thinking about this, Zhang Guoquan quickly took a few bites of rice, handed the bowl to Bai Ge, carried the shoulder pole and prepared to go out. Bai Ge stayed at home to do some housework within his ability.

When he came to the river beach, the surroundings were already full of villagers. What Zhang Guoquan puzzled was that the villagers did not fetch water or dig ditches to divert water. Instead, they gathered together in groups of three or five, pointing to the upstream and discussing something.

It was so close that Zhang Guoquan heard it clearly that he understood why the wooden barrels were still on the river in the morning?

All the reasons are discussed by the villagers, and this artificial river no longer flows.

I haven't encountered this situation in decades, but after a night, they said that the river suddenly broke down.

If it weren't for the low-lying terrain of this river beach, Zhang Guoquan would have discovered this strange phenomenon in the morning. It was still dark and he didn't pay much attention.

Now the sky is bright, looking upstream not far away, the originally trickle of river water has now turned into a mud ditch.

The sudden change made everyone panic, and the crowd asked questions from time to time.

The young man asked the older one: "You are an older person in the village. Did this happen in the past?"

The older ones would shake their heads: "Never, the end is connected to the river. Even in a drought year, it will at most become shallower, thinner, and less flowing, but there has never been such a situation in front of you."

"I won't just stop flowing. What's the matter? Could it be that I offended the Dragon Prince."

"The bullshit Dragon Prince, the ditches dug by hand, is not easy to save."

"What's the situation? I'm still waiting to divert water and irrigate the land. Such a little water storage is not enough for the whole village."

Looking further downstream, the water in the reed marsh became thinner and yellowed roots were exposed. The reed flowers on the tips were floating vigorously.

The people downstream will be even worse. They are not as good as there is a low-lying area that stores some water, so the villages downstream are not so lucky, but the villagers in Yangjiazhuang are also uncomfortable, so it is still a problem of too little water.

The villagers were shaking their hands while spreading, what should we do?

If it rains all over the world, I still don’t know that when the year of the Monkey and Horses are coming, a group of people will sigh around the river beach and scold God.

Until Yang Lei arrived, he hurriedly rode the 28th bar, and the person was still pedaling on the car, and the car was thrown down by him. The thrown car slipped out along the rush again until it hit the pile of wheat straw and stopped.

"Secretary Yang, you're here. Come and see what's going on?" The villagers asked Yang Lei in a verbal way.

Yang Lei, who jumped out of the car, did not look at the river that had been cut off. He looked at the villagers' faces but looked extremely ugly.

Some villagers couldn't help but ask: "Secretary Yang, what does it mean to have a stern face? You're thinking of a solution."

The villagers were really anxious, but they didn't know where God could resist.

Next, Yang Lei's words made the villagers' already restless hearts even more impetuous, with a hint of confusion.

Yang Lei said: "The upstream village blocked the river."

When the villagers heard this, the villagers were in a rage. Some villagers didn't ask for any reason and just cursed them.

"They were caught by a donkey upstream again, and they were so nervous. It was just a river, and they could use it at home."

"How can I do something if I ask for something? This is not a human business."

Zhang Guoquan was upset by the noise of the surrounding villagers. Finally, he calmed down and asked Yang Lei: "Is it because of the river sand?"

Yang Lei nodded without denying it. Since the old branch secretary last time asked for a share of the pie, more than a month has passed since now. After so many days, I thought the old branch secretary in the upstream had forgotten this, or gave up when Yang Lei did not let go.

But no one expected that not only did they not give up, they also kept it in their hearts. At the critical moment when everyone needed to use river water to irrigate the fields, they actually did such an inconvenient thing.

Blocking the upstream river water directly is something that has never happened in decades. At present, they are just doing everything for the benefit of the river sand, or for the jealousy of Yang Lei.

When Yang Lei told the whole story of the old branch secretary that day to the villagers, the villagers were not happy at the time.

"They thought were beautiful. They asked them to share the river sand at the beginning. They were afraid that the farmland would be damaged, so they were unwilling. Now they saw that we were going to do it and rushed to ask for money. It was shameless."

"Yes, shameless. Even if our village spread all the money into the river, we will never give them a single child."

"Leizi, there are these old guys in the village to support you, don't be afraid."

"Let's go upstream and find them, and you have to come up with an explanation."

One person raised his arms and shouted, with the leader, the others also followed in anger.

He holds a shoulder pole in his hand, a trumpet and a bucket. Anyway, judging from this attitude, if the other party does not let go of the water, he will definitely be in a good mood.

Yang Lei stopped him, but he couldn't stop him. The villagers were holding their anger, and even more resentful, with resentment towards God. Now, there is a place to vent these resentment.

If there is no result today, I will definitely not give up.

The vast crowd gathered into a rope and walked upstream along the river bank.

Yang Lei realized something was going to happen.

These villagers went upstream and told each other that if the other party was concerned about survival in the downstream and released water, the matter would be over.

But if the upstream firmly disagrees with letting go, the worst result may turn into a fight between the two villages, collectives and collectives, and large-scale armed fights.

During the process, no one can afford the consequences of making things messy, hurting people or dying people.

Yang Lei looked at the group of people who were going upstream, and his expression became solemn. He didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he quickly picked up the 28th bar and chased the villagers.

However, the sudden unity of these villagers shocked Zhang Guoquan. In the village, each family would have friction, bickering, and even fight. Unexpectedly, when the interests of the village collective were damaged, they would instantly form a rope and go against each other.

Such a strong collective cohesion made Zhang Guoquan not know what to say for a while.

Now is not the time to praise unity. As Yang Lei said, once the two sides develop into a fight, under the bad influence, this matter will go from reasonable to an unsolvable problem between both sides.

Zhang Guoquan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased after him.

Yaoyao wanted to go to watch the fun, but Zhang Guoquan scolded her. This was not lively, and it might be a disaster.

Big Jinya also scolded, but he scolded the workers: "What are you looking at? Work hard, I want to see if it's river or red blood flowing down the upstream later."
