Chapter 27 The Rise of the Little Village Girl (5)
When Father Li learned from his daughter that a white-bearded old man who looked very much like a god had told her this, he felt extremely unreal and felt that he had been perfunctory.
How can there be gods in this world?
However, facing his youngest daughter's sincere eyes, although Father Li did not believe that there were gods in this world, he still believed her words.
It must be some hermit master who is telling the people in Lihua Village through his little daughter, Father Li thought uncertainly.
However, how can there be so many hermit masters in this world, and they are not the protagonists in novels. Just sitting at home, there are masters crying and shouting to come and take disciples.
Judging from Li Quyue's life experience, he was at most a cannon fodder, and a cannon fodder whose name had never even appeared.
Su Zhan touched her nose and told Father Li all the places she had detected that contained underground water sources.
Although Li's father was kind-hearted, he still had the shrewdness of a businessman, and the use of water sources gave the Li family a serious reputation.
In fact, Su Zhan still admires people like Father Li who have basic sympathy but do not give alms indiscriminately and bring disaster to their small family.
If someone were to stand in Li's father's shoes and grow up eating hundreds of meals as a boy, they would only have two choices when they grow up.
Those who are kind-hearted will choose to repay their hometown unconditionally, but in the end this is likely to lead to dissatisfaction.
Others will think that you yourself were raised by Lihua Village. Without the village, you would not be alive today. Now that you have so much money, you should donate all your money to the village to repay Lihua Village.
For your upbringing.
If you are cruel and turn a blind eye to the Ewha Village that once raised you after you become rich, it will also have a bad impact.
Who would dare to do business with such a person who doesn't even want to repay the kindness of raising him? Who knows if he will stab him in the back.
These are two extremes, and Father Li is a compromise. He will help solve major issues in Lihua Village, but he will never give people the feeling that he is a person who takes everything he wants.
Over time, Li's father naturally became a kind of patron in the hearts of the Lihua villagers, rather than a money bag.
No wonder Brother Li has been popular since he was a child. It turns out he inherited his father's emotional intelligence.
In fact, this family does not need Su Zhan to do anything more. In fact, if it were not for the natural disaster, the development of the Li family would definitely be impressive in the end.
I heard that Shanling Palace, the de facto ruler of Shanling City, has been sending troops to encircle and suppress the bandits in recent days, so Su Zhan does not need to let the Li family leave Lihua Village in advance now.
The incident of the army encircling and suppressing the bandits made Su Zhan confirm that a different change had taken place in this world, and this change was also related to the people of Shanling Palace.
As we all know, the owner of Shanling Palace is King Shanling, the younger brother of His Majesty, a true royal relative. Even the name of Shanling City was named after his title.
Apart from King Shanling, the only people who can command the troops under the name of Prince Shanling are his only daughter and Princess Hui.
Su Zhan still doesn't know which one of these two people has the problem.
However, she will definitely have to visit Shanling Prince's Mansion in the future. If curiosity gets the better of her, it will be more convenient to find out who has the problem between the father and daughter.
The water shortage problem in Lihua Village has been temporarily solved, and the banditry problem has disappeared, but Li's father still insisted on sending the three children to Shanling City first.
Because he knew very well that just a few wells could only sustain the daily life of the villagers in Lihua Village.
It's not that he is cruel and selfish, but if the news that there is a water source in Lihua Village is leaked out, it will probably be a disaster waiting for Lihua Village.
Never try to find out where the lower limit of human beings is when they fall into despair.
Natural disasters are ruthless, but man-made disasters are often more unexpected than natural disasters.
Before Li's father had time to send his family away, the news that there was water in Lihua Village had already spread.
The cause was that a man from another village fainted outside the village. The villagers of Lihua Village felt soft-hearted and kindly gave him a sip of water and rescued him.
The man who woke up was naturally very grateful, and then casually asked where the water came from.
The villager from Lihua Village was young and without the slightest suspicion, he revealed the fact that there was a well in Lihua Village.
The man who was rescued left not long after, but when he came back a day later, he brought people from several surrounding villages to force the people of Lihua Village to move out of Lihua Village.
When Father Li arrived, everyone in Lihua Village was confronting a group of strange-looking people. Both sides were holding some hoes and other things in their hands, and they looked excited and were about to start a fight.
"You, Lihua Village, have already taken a huge advantage by occupying those wells. From today on, these wells must belong to us. You are not qualified to occupy them any longer." A dark-faced man on the other side said loudly, causing a commotion.
Echo.
"It's a joke, we people in Lihua Village dug those wells ourselves, so naturally they belong to us. It's shameless for you to rob them." The people of Lihua Village were not to be outdone.
Those in other villages could only see wells at the moment, and could not hear what they were saying.
"Everyone in your Lihua Village is a selfish person. You know you are not short of water, but you refuse to give it to us." An old woman with disheveled hair in the crowd rushed up and rolled on the ground full of loess without hesitation.
He cried at the top of his lungs and said, "Poor my three-year-old grandson, he is dying of thirst because he has no water to drink."
"You conscienceless murderers, if you would give me a sip of water, he would not die. If he dies, I, a lonely old woman, don't want to live anymore."
The old woman was crying and shouting and was about to hit the weapons of the villagers in Lihua Village. How dare everyone in Lihua Village dare to let her hit her.
Seeing that this old woman was old, if someone died, where would she go to reason with her, so they naturally retreated.
They retreated, but those from other villages took the opportunity to step forward and were about to rush into the village.
Father Li could only speak out at this time. If these angry-looking people were really allowed to rush in, no one knew what they would do.
"Stop everything." Father Li shouted.
In this kind of confrontation between the two armies, someone suddenly rushed out. The people in Lihua Village gave Li's father face, but the people in these other villages would not give it.
"Stop if you say stop, who are you?" At that moment, the black-faced man reached out and pushed Father Li hard, trying to push him to the ground and continue rushing towards Lihua Village.
Then his eyes blurred, and a little girl appeared in front of him, holding his wrist. The black-faced man found that he couldn't move his arm.
The black-faced man was stunned for a moment, and then became angry. She was just a little girl, and he must have failed to use his full strength just now.
He is the most powerful person in their village, so there is no reason why he can't win over a little girl.
The dark-faced man tried his best to swing the little girl away, but he turned red (although he couldn't tell because of his dark face, but he was definitely red), but the little girl still strangled him with a smile.
wrist.
It's scary. Isn't this little girl really a monster? She can control him so easily. The black-faced man felt like he was covered in cold sweat in an instant, and there was an indescribable fear in Su Zhan's eyes.
Everyone was watching what they were doing here. Father Li was stunned for a long time, and then he pulled Su Zhan's hand back instantly, holding his daughter's little paws in disbelief and looking up and down.
It was white and tender, and it could be seen that the food was very good. It seemed that he had indeed raised his daughter well. Father Li felt proud for a moment, and then he sobered up.
No, he came to see if his daughter's hand was injured. Even he himself would probably be injured if he encountered the big black-faced man just now, let alone his daughter.
"Yueyue, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Father Li didn't see any injuries, so he was worried about whether there was an injury inside, such as a dislocation.
After hearing what Li's father said, everyone present fell silent. What they saw just now was the little girl Li Quyue restraining the black-faced man, not the other way around.
Why would Father Li ask his daughter what was wrong?
Although it is incredible, judging from the situation just now, the injured person should be the black-faced man.
Su Zhan's eyes flashed. To be honest, she didn't expect Li's father's first reaction to be like this. After his daughter showed something unusual, his first reaction was to worry about whether her daughter's hand was injured.
"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine." Su Zhan paused for a moment, and then said meaningfully, "This uncle looks very strong, but he is not like this."
It's not as powerful as it seems on the surface. In other words, does it look good?
This time, everyone's strange eyes fell on the black-faced man, and even the people in the same village with him couldn't help but have their eyes wandering.
No wonder he often says that he is very strong, but it turns out he is trying to cover up that he is strong on the outside but strong on the inside.
The dark-faced man's face was completely dark, but because his face was already very dark, no one could see his embarrassment and irritation.
But he was still angry. He was very aware of his own strength, so naturally he didn't want to confront this weird little girl again.
Father Li watched Su Zhan move his wrist and found that he was not injured, then he held his little daughter behind his back.
After his interruption, everyone who had been in a state of excitement just now finally woke up a little bit. However, if the problem of water source is not resolved, today's dispute will never be resolved.
Moreover, the fact that Lihua Village has water obviously cannot be kept secret anymore. As long as it doesn’t rain, there will definitely be other villages coming one after another in the future.
After all, Lihua Village is just a village. Even if we can block these villages today, what if more people come to ask for water next time?
