At the head of Liujia Village, the sun was blazing, and a group of men were squatting on rocks, exposing their bellies, taking off their straw hats and fanning themselves.
Four or five shovels were placed around them. "This damn weather is so hot that I'm going to die!" One of the men couldn't help but stand up and complained to the village chief: "Hey, village chief, why did you call us here?
You're so mysterious, and you didn't tell us anything when we asked you. You just said you'd wait for everyone to come. You should tell us something!" "That's right, village chief,the weeds in my field haven't been pulled out yet. How about I go back first and come back to tell me when everyone is here!"
"Yes , yes, how about we go back first and come back later?"As they said this, some of the men were eager to try and wanted to leave first.
Liu Dexi sat there calmly, took out his pipe, took a puff of smoke, and slowly blew out smoke rings, looking completely unconcerned.
Seeing this, the men looked at each other with a hesitant look.
Everyone knew that the village chief cared about the village. Besides, basically everyone present was the village chief's juniors, who had watched them grow up. Some marriages were arranged by the village chief.
If Liu Dexi had teased them, it would have been fine, indicating that the matter would be the same with or without them, and it would be okay if they left, but the village chief didn't say a word, so they didn't dare to leave.
So everyone sat back in their original seats silently, but they waved their straw hats more vigorously.
Well, they still have some sense and know to take the village chief seriously.
"Since you don't plan to leave, wait a little longer." Liu Dexi nodded with satisfaction.Those who were about to leave just now were those who had no wives and no one to live on, so it was normal for them to be angry. Now they can still stay here honestly, which is very good.
It's not that Liu Dexi wanted to keep it a secret, but compared to finding the source of water, there is something more important. That is the descent of the gods!But some things are better seen than heard. If you say it directly, it will be like himself before, and he will not believe it. He thought that if the villagers could discover the magic of the water by themselves, what he said would be more credible.
"Dad!" Liu Ping led two or three people and walked in front of Liu Dexi.
"Where is Liu Qi, why didn't he come back with you?" Liu Dexi asked puzzledly. "Zhu Zi is too nagging, and my second brother wanted me to come back and tell you first, he will be here soon."
"Is that so? Okay, did you hear it? We will set off in a while, and you will know when we get there." Liu Dexi said to everyone.
"Dad, what's going on?" Liu Ping scratched his head, and suddenly seemed to remember something, clapping his hands: "Oh~ I know, it's related to that liar... uh, the man on the mountain."
Liu Ping suddenly felt a strong murderous intent gushing out of his father's body, almost turning into substance. He shuddered and quickly changed his words.
"People in the mountains, there are no people in this wilderness, oh, by the way, I don't know who they are, but I seem to remember that Liu Da said that there are..."
"Cough!" Liu Dexi coughed fiercely.
"This is a great thing. I was supposed to wait until everyone is gathered before I tell you." Liu Dexi touched his goatee happily: "But, it's not that I can't reveal some of the details."
Everyone came over: "What, village chief, don't keep us in suspense! Tell us."
Liu Dexi said: "What do we lack most now?"
"Water!" Everyone shouted in unison at the same time, and they excitedly came to the village chief.
"Water, village chief, you found water!!!"
"Village chief, don't worry about Zhuzi, let's go first! I'll take him there when the time comes."
"Village chief, uncle! My dearest uncle~ just tell us!"
I knew it would be like this!
If it was just water.
Let these people go first, and then let one of them lead the way.
But the key is that it is not just a water problem now.
"Okay, stop being impatient, sit back and wait quietly!"
Liu Dexi endured the strong winds and rainstorms from all directions and wiped the water marks on his face.
"Hey~"
Seeing that Liu Dexi was not moved, they sighed and dispersed.
What else can they do? Just wait.
After about ten minutes, Zhuzi came with Liu Qishanshan.
The people sitting around looked at Zhuzi with resentment.
"I'm just a little late, why are you looking at me like this? Look at your eyes, as if you want to eat me!" Zhuzi shrank his neck.
"If you come later, maybe I will really eat you in a while!" Someone said faintly.
"Not that bad, my meat is very dry and not delicious."
Zhuzi smiled awkwardly, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked to the edge of the crowd in a dejected manner.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's go now!"
Liu Dexi put away his pipe and set off again along the road he walked this morning.
"Great! Finally I can water the land. My fields are saved!"
"Yeah!"
Everyone laughed and followed the village chief.
"Village chief, Liu Da and the others haven't arrived yet! Don't we have to wait for them?"
someone asked.
"They already knew about it. We don't have to worry about it."
...
As the destination was approached, the excited discussion in the team gradually subsided, but everyone's eyes were full of hope.
Only one person, Zhuzi, looked more and more strange. He silently slowed down and soon reached the end of the team.
Zhuzi walked towards the group of people who were laughing and talked, and put his elbow on the back of one of them, and then pulled the person out after he turned around.
"What? Hey, why do you have this expression? Did you poop your pants?"
