Chapter 214 What! How could Chen Jiusi possibly do that? ( words, please subscribe)
"Quick, move the boat over!"
Zhao Ya shouted immediately upon seeing this. After hearing this, Ah San rowed the boat over with all his might.
At this moment, with a splash, Chen Jie emerged from the water, his whole body wet. He wiped the water off his face and then saw a boat coming towards him.
and the people standing on the boat.
Ah San then stretched out his oar and said, "Jiu Si, you're finally out. Are you okay?"
"Pfft!"
Chen Jie wiped the water off his face, then grabbed the oar and slowly climbed onto the boat's board, then leaned on the board.
At this time, Ah San came over and said, "How are you, brother? Are you okay?"
Chen Jie shook his head and said, "It was too dangerous. I almost didn't make it out. The test in Changchun Valley is too difficult."
After hearing this, Ah San said, "Hey, where are Nan Batian and Batan?"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "They are all trapped inside."
"Ok?"
After hearing this, everyone around gathered around and looked at Chen Jie.
Zhao Ya squinted her eyes and looked at Chen Jie without saying anything. Chen Jie knew that the next step would be to test himself.
"Why did they get stuck in there?"
Ah Da came over to ask, Ah San said: "Yeah, what's on the second floor?"
Chen Jie said at this time: "The second floor is a big forest. There are many monsters in the forest. Changchun Valley wants us to snatch a bead in the center of the forest. In the process, there are many strange monsters blocking us."
"I'm quite timid, so I hid at the outermost edge. Battan and Nan Batian joined forces and rushed inside. As a result, we encountered a monster with a wolf's head. The monster's strength was not weaker than General Bang. Battan and Nan Batian could not compete with it even if they joined forces."
"I saw that the situation was not good, so I left the battle and saw a cave at the edge of the forest. I jumped in and heard Changchunzi say that if I jumped in, I would be giving up the inheritance of Changchun Valley. I thought that if I continued to go in, I would definitely die in it, so I gave up."
"Then I felt a huge force pushing me and I spurted out, and then, it's now."
Chen Jie looked at the people around him.
After hearing this, A Da and the others were stunned and looked at Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya squinted her eyes and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Mr. Chen, are you sure they are trapped inside?"
Chen Jie said: "I'm not sure. They were still fighting the monsters before I escaped. Maybe they will be able to escape in a while."
As Chen Jie said this, the next moment, he suddenly saw the huge mirage floating on the water surface suddenly open its big mouth, and the next moment there was a puff sound, and the entire water surface was stirred up with waves of more than ten feet high.
The surrounding ships were blown away in an instant.
Then the mirage sank directly to the bottom of the water and soon disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this scene, everyone around was confused, but before they could react, Chen Jie shouted: "Paddle quickly, row quickly, get out of here!"
After hearing this, Asan and Er were stunned. They grabbed the oars and started rowing frantically.
At the same time, a huge whirlpool appeared on the water surface.
Everyone felt that their boat was being sucked away by the whirlpool at a very fast speed, but fortunately Chen Jie reminded them in advance, so they were able to take advantage of the distance and finally escape the suction of the whirlpool.
After finally passing this area, Zhao Ya looked back at the place where the mirage had just appeared and said, "It seems that Battan and the others are still buried at the bottom of the river."
After hearing this, everyone turned around to look at the place where the mirage sank, and all remained silent.
At this time on the boat, Yelu squinted his eyes and looked at the sinking place, then looked at Chen Jiusi, his expression was a little gloomy.
At this time, everyone left the Mianshui River and began to approach the river bank. The rain was still falling, and it looked like it would take at least one night before it stopped.
The people of Mianshui will inevitably suffer a catastrophe.
In this way, a group of people went ashore. As soon as they got ashore, they saw a team of more than 300 people rushing towards Xiantao Town. Chen Jie saw that they were from his fishing gang, and the leader was Chen Wang.
Seeing this, Chen Jie shouted, "Chen Wang."
Chen Wang was looking anxious when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Chen Jie, with a hint of joy on his face.
"Boss, you're back."
Chen Wang rushed over and saluted Chen Jie.
Chen Jie asked: "Where are you going?"
Chen Wang said: "Let's go and block the dam. The water is too high and our dam is about to be destroyed. Master Zhou asked us to bring people to help."
"Block the dam, what dam?"
Chen Jie looked at Chen Wang with confusion.
Chen Wang said: "It's the dam of our Xiantao Village."
"Well, the Xiantao Village dam, isn't our Xiantao Village a flood discharge area?"
Chen Jie asked directly. After hearing this, Chen Wang's face changed and he began to stammer, "This..."
"Hey, what's this? I'm asking you a question!"
Chen Wang was scolded by Chen Jie, and he clenched his fists. After a long while, he said, "Tang Master Zhou asked us to take people to block the dike over at Xiantao Village..."
"She's fucking bullshitting!"
Chen Jie was immediately furious after hearing this, and immediately said, "Didn't I say that I would release the floodwaters to Xiantao Village? You guys are taking my words as bullshit, right?"
Chen Wang said: "Boss, calm down. Xiantao Village cannot be flooded."
"Bullshit, Chen Wang, your home is in Xiantao Village, so you don't want Xiantao Village to be flooded. If Xiantao Village is not flooded, what will happen to the villages and towns downstream? Do you know how many people are downstream?"
Chen Wang said: "Boss, my home is in Xiantao Village. If it was just for my family, I would be the first to take the lead in digging the dam. But Boss, your home is also in Xiantao, and your ancestral grave is also in Xiantao. If Xiantao Village is flooded, what will happen to your ancestral grave!"
Chen Jie was stunned after hearing this. The ancestral tomb is very important in this era when clan concepts are very strong. If the ancestral tomb is flooded, it will be a big deal.
If someone were to make a fuss about it, he would even be accused of being immoral, otherwise why would he flood your ancestral grave but not mine?
Chen Jie was silent for a moment and said, "Take me to Xiantao Village."
Chen Jie turned around and bowed to Zhao Ya and her group, saying, "Princess, everyone, I have some things to take care of, so I won't accompany you any longer."
Zhao Ya heard this and said, "Water and fire are merciless. Please come in, Mr. Chen."
Chen Jie clasped his fists, then led Chen Wang and the others and hurried towards Xiantao Village.
Watching them leave, Yelu clasped his fists and said, "Princess, I have something to say."
Zhao Ya looked at Yelu and said, "Well, there are no outsiders here."
Yelu said: "Princess, I feel there is something wrong with Chen Jiusi."
The princess looked at Yelu, and Yelu said, "Princess, what this person said just now is full of loopholes. He said that there were many dangers on the second floor, and Batan and Nan Batian were chased by werewolves. But since there were werewolves, why did they only chase Batan and Nan Batian, and not chase Chen Jiusi, but let him leave calmly instead?"
"His logic doesn't stand up to scrutiny. So I think it's very likely that there was a game between three people on the second floor. In the end, Chen Jiusi won and obtained the inheritance of Changchun Valley. Battan and Nan Batian 1989 were killed by Chen Jiusi on the second floor."
After hearing this, Zhao Ya looked at Yelu and said, "What you said does make some sense, but do you have any evidence?"
"My lord, although I have no evidence, Chen Jiusi is definitely not a good person. Although he has some talents and can be appreciated by my lord, I cannot help but guard against his wolfish ambitions to avoid backlash!"
Yelu looked at Zhao Ya and said.
Zhao Ya looked at Yelu and asked, "Backlash?"
Yelu said: "That's right, Chen Jiusi is not a peaceful person. He first followed Peng Shizhong, who died, and then followed Nan Batian. Nan Batian was killed and everyone wanted to kill him. And every time he got benefits, this is definitely not a good thing. I am afraid that if he follows the princess, you will also encounter an accident."
"How dare you curse the princess."
As soon as Yelu finished speaking, Asan on the side immediately shouted that he and Chen Jiusi were acquainted through fighting, and he did not think that Chen Jiusi was as insidious as Yelu said.
However, he had not been able to get a word in just now, so he just shouted and scolded at this time.
Yelu glanced at Ah San and said, "Master Ah San, you should be careful too. This person is good at deceiving people. Master Ah San is simple-minded and will inevitably be deceived by him."
After hearing this, Ah San wanted to say something, but Zhao Ya said, "Well, I know about this matter. Do you have anything else to say?"
Yelu heard this and said, "Nothing."
Zhao Ya said, "Well, I have something else to do, so I won't stay with you any longer. Goodbye."
After Zhao Ya finished speaking, she took A Da, A Er, and A San away. Looking at Zhao Ya leaving, Yelu frowned. After this time of getting the Medicine King's treasure, Chen Jiusi could be said to be in a difficult situation.
Not only did his personal strength improve to the Baodan realm, but he also obtained the token from Old Monster Liu.
If he merged the fishing gang and the canal gang into one, then Mianshui would become Chen Jiusi's world, and how would he cope with it then?
The banner of balance in his hand has become seriously unbalanced, which is not what he wants.
So now he has only one option, which is to kill Chen Jiusi.
But now that Chen Jiusi's foundation has been established, it is difficult to kill him. Fortunately, Zhao Ya wants to take Chen Jiusi away from Mianshui and go to Huangzhou Prefecture.
Since we are heading to Huangzhou Prefecture, the only ones left in the Mian River are just a few big cats and small cats. If you can't deal with Chen Jiusi yourself, can't you deal with these cats and dogs under your command, Chen Jiusi?
Moreover, wise people work with their minds but not with their bodies. If you, Chen Jiusi, want to be the sage of Mianyang River, then I will let you know what despair is.
"This rain is a good opportunity."
Yelu turned and left. This time, on the trip to find the Medicine King's treasure, he suffered heavy losses. A loyal subordinate died, and he only got some rare herbs in return. It was a huge loss for him.
But this matter is not over yet.
Yelu narrowed his eyes. He had dared to act in front of the Darughachi of Mianshui County, which meant he had already done his best to nip in the bud any force that might threaten the court. However, Chen Jiusi's growth was now completely out of his control.
It would be fine if it was just him. The power of one person is ultimately insignificant. Even if he reached the pinnacle of martial arts, he would not be able to change the dynasty.
The point is that Chen Jie, a member of the fishing gang, is becoming more and more official in his actions. He actually turns what the official should do into what he does personally. Since he wants to be official, he should do something that is not official.
Yelu thought about it and turned to look at Chen Jiusi, maybe I am not as strong as you now, but when it comes to brain, I am your ancestor.
Thinking of this, Yelu rode back to the county town directly. He wanted to make some arrangements. Even if Zhao Ya was unwilling to capture Chen Jiusi, he had to let Chen Jiusi know how powerful he was.
It also laid the foundation for the future. When Chen Jiusi followed Zhao Ya to leave Mianshui, he could destroy the remnants of the fishing gang in one fell swoop and restore Mianshui to his ideal Mianshui County.
He, Yelu, was an official of the imperial court and would never allow local forces to be more powerful than the government.
……
"Princess, where are we going?"
Asan couldn't help but ask as he watched the group leader leading them to the distant mountain village.
"Xiantao Village."
After hearing this, Ah San asked, "What are you going there for?"
Zhao Ya didn't answer. Ah San followed Zhao Ya for a while and asked, "Princess, did you say that Chen Jiusi killed Battan and the others?"
Zhao Ya was stunned and looked at Ah San: "What do you think?"
"I, I don't know?"
Ah San looked at Zhao Yadao, and Zhao Yadao said, "Don't make blind guesses if you didn't see it with your own eyes. Battan and the others were buried in the mouth of the mirage, what does that have to do with Chen Jiusi?"
Ah San wanted to speak again, but Ah Da stopped him: "Shut up."
Ah San looked at Ah Da Dao and said, "Brother, do you think Chen Jiusi is the murderer?"
Ah Da looked at Ah San and said, "Why are you asking this?"
Ah San was silent. Ah Da said, "He, Batan, was the King of Qi's man. He was never on the same side as us. Where and how he died has nothing to do with us. Even if Chen Jiusi killed him, what does it matter?"
"We are not the King of Qi's subordinates, so there is no need for us to avenge him!"
After hearing this, Ah San was silent. After thinking for a while, he grinned and said, "Hey, what you said is right, big brother."
"Alright, both of you can talk separately. The princess has already walked far away, hurry up and catch up."
Seeing that the two were talking endlessly, Ah Er immediately spoke up. After hearing this, the two of them accelerated and caught up with the princess.
The princess had already arrived not far from Xiantao Town, and saw that the water of the Mian River had already overflowed onto the river bank.
Not far away, there are traces of artificial dams, which obviously block the water and prevent it from flooding the village below. That is where Xiantao Village is located.
Chen Jie also followed Chen Wang here at this time. At this time, he was very angry.
Zhou Chu and Si Xi actually dared to disobey orders, which he absolutely could not tolerate. When he saw them, Chen Jie would definitely give them a good beating.
As they were thinking this, they were almost reaching the newly built river embankment.
At this time, on the river bank, you can see a high embankment built with sacks. The embankment is full of river water, and Xiantao Village is downstream.
It was raining at that time, but disciples of the fishing gang were standing in the river. They used their bodies to make a gate to block the flood.
They held hands and stood in front of the flood, with a fearless look on their faces.
They must stop the flood in front of them today, because below is Xiantao Village, the gang leader's hometown, the gang leader's ancestral tombs, and the gang leader's Chen's Ancestral Hall are all below.
If they were washed away by a flood, it would be a huge problem. The gang leader would become a rootless person, which they absolutely could not tolerate.
So they tried their best to stop the flood.
"Master, Master, it's bad. The North Dike can't hold the flood water. Our people have been washed away by the flood. The human wall can't hold up!"
At this time, on the river bank, Zhou Chu was listening to his subordinates' reports.
"Pfft~"
He wiped the rain off his face and said angrily: "I won't listen to your excuses. I have only one request. Not a drop of water is allowed to flow into Xiantao Village today. Even if you destroy a crop in Xiantao Village, I will never let you go!"
"But Hall Master, I really can't stop it!"
The subordinate said with a bitter face.
After hearing this, Zhou Chu said angrily: "Master!"
"There's no one left. Lord Chen Wang hasn't arrived yet. We only have these people on the shore!"
After hearing this, Zhou Chu's face darkened. Wu Zhong on the side said, "Ah Zhou, don't hold it anymore. I'll go evacuate the villagers first..."
"Uncle Zhong, you should evacuate the villagers first, but the water still needs to be blocked. The gang leader's ancestral tomb cannot be washed away, you know."
Wu Zhong heard this and said, "But there is no one here, how can we block it?"
Zhou Chu wiped the rain off his face again and said, "Who said there is no one? Am I not a human?"
"Pfft~ Brothers, follow me to the river."
After hearing this, Wu Zhong's face was full of anxiety and he said, "Zhou Chu, you... Jiu Si is asking you to release the flood."
Zhou Chu smiled and said, "The gang leader has his own macro considerations, but I know that as a subordinate, I cannot let the gang leader's ancestral tombs and ancestral hall have any problems."
"Yes, Master Zhou is right."
Upon hearing Zhou Chu's words, an old man who was following Wu Zhong shouted, "We must not let the flood rush into our Chen family's ancestral hall, let alone destroy our Chen family's ancestral tombs."
"The success of Jiu Si today is all thanks to the blessing of his ancestors. If the Feng Shui is broken, Jiu Si will be finished."
The old man said excitedly at this time.
As he was talking, he was choked by the rain and started coughing desperately: "Cough cough..."
"Uncle, uncle, are you okay?"
Several members of the Chen clan were around, supporting the old uncle.
The old uncle felt the support of everyone and felt that his status as the clan leader had returned. Over the past year, all his status had been taken away by Chen Erba.
With the help of Chen Jiusi, and his son being a capable general under Chen Jiusi, he directly became a powerful figure in the Chen family, and there were still people there who took him, the old uncle, seriously.
But today is different. The flood is about to submerge the Chen family's ancestral hall.
The old uncle raised his arms and shouted, calling for the protection of the Chen family's ancestral hall and ancestral tombs, and the preservation of the Chen family's feng shui dragon veins, which would preserve Chen Jiusi's bright future.
Don't think this is feudal superstition.
Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times many people who do big business still believe in Feng Shui, not to mention this era, when the theory of Feng Shui is even more prevalent.
Over the past year, Chen Jie's career has risen like a rocket, from a notorious gambler to the leader of the largest gang in Mianshui. His status development was really too fast.
So much so that he has become a legend in Xiantao Village.
Some people even said that they saw green smoke coming out of the Chen family’s ancestral grave, just because of this statement.
Zhou Chucai felt that the ancestral tomb of Chen Jiusi’s family should not be moved, and the flood should not be allowed to flood their ancestral hall, otherwise it would destroy the feng shui of the Chen family.
If disaster were to happen to their gang leader, they would be doomed to death.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chu gritted his teeth and said, "The rest of you, follow me."
After saying that, he jumped into the water carrying two sacks full of stones and sand. With the strength of Hua Jin, he took root in the water and nailed it to the spot. Then he blocked the gap with the sandbags again. When everyone saw that the hall master had jumped himself, they had nothing to say. They also jumped into the water and blocked the gap.
In this way, this human wall was formed again.
Seeing this scene, Wu Zhong frowned, but his uncle said, "Yes, that's right, Master Zhou, you have to hold on. The feng shui of our Chen family must not be broken, it must not be broken..."
At this time, Zhou Chu was standing against the flood, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.
At this moment, a group of people suddenly came from a distance, and someone shouted, "Master, it should be Lord Chen Wang's people who have arrived."
Zhou Chu's eyes lit up and he said, "Everyone, work harder. Chen Wang's people are here. Our helpers are here!"
Shouting like this, the group of people quickly rushed up. Everyone was stunned, and then they saw that the leader was actually Chen Jie.
"Help, boss!"
Seeing Chen Jie, the gang members in the water suddenly felt energized again and gritted their teeth to persevere.
When the old uncle saw that Chen Jie had come in person, he immediately asked two young men to help him come to Chen Jie.
"Jiu Si, you are here. Don't worry, with my uncle here, nothing can change the feng shui of our Chen family. If anyone does, I will fight him to the death!"
The old uncle said this with great righteousness.
Chen Jie glanced at him and said nothing. Instead, he shouted with a gloomy face, "Where's Zhou Chu? Where's Zhou Chu?"
After hearing this, Wu Zhong said, "In the water, in the water!"
Chen Jie heard this and saw Zhou Chu standing in the water. Zhou Chu was carrying the flood water at this time. When he saw Chen Jie, he grinned and said, "Boss, you are back."
When Chen Jie saw Zhou Chu like this, his face suddenly turned dark.
"Get up here."
Chen Jie pointed at Zhou Chu and yelled.
Zhou Chu said: "Boss, I can still hold on."
"I told you to get up here."
Chen Jie shouted angrily. Seeing that Chen Jie was really angry, Zhou Chu said to the younger brother beside him with a confused look on his face: "Hold on for a while."
Seeing this, the younger brother beside him immediately said, "It's the hall master, don't worry."
At this time, Zhou Chu climbed out of the water to the shore.
After finally climbing onto the shore, he saw Chen Jie; "Boss."
Unexpectedly, Chen Jie kicked him down with one kick, and then cursed: "Zhou Chu, you bastard, I asked you to release the flood, but you built a dam, right? There are already two villages downstream, and because you didn't release the flood, they were flooded, and more than 30 people died. Do you know that? That's 30 lives."
"grass!"
Chen Jie kicked out, but without using any internal energy, he kicked Zhou Chu hard. Zhou Chu was a little dazed, but he didn't say anything.
Wu Zhong and the old uncle who were standing by saw it, and the old uncle was so scared that he quickly stepped back a distance.
But Wu Zhong stopped Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, Jiu Si, Zhou is doing this for your own good."
"You're doing this for my own good, so you dare to change my orders without my permission?"
Chen Jie wanted to continue kicking, but was stopped by Uncle Zhong. Yes, Chen Jie, a Qi and Blood Baodan realm warrior, was stopped by Wu Zhong, a Lianrou realm warrior.
Chen Jie's chest was heaving with anger as he roared, "Follow my orders, release the flood."
"Ah, no, boss, we can't release the flood water, we can't release the flood water!"
After hearing what Chen Jie said, Zhou Chu got up from the ground, hugged Chen Jie's thigh and said, "Don't release the flood, don't release the flood!"
"You start driving for me."
Chen Jie kicked Zhou Chu to the ground again.
Zhou Chu got up again and hugged Chen Jie, saying, "Boss, even if you kill me, you can't release the flood. Below are your Chen family's ancestral tombs and the ancestral hall. They are where your Feng Shui luck lies. If you destroy the Feng Shui, there will be disaster!"
"Gang leader!"
"Let us hold on a little longer. The rain will soon stop! Let us hold on a little longer."
Zhou Chu hugged Chen Jie's thigh and cried.
Chen Jie stopped moving when he heard this, and at this time, the disciples of the fishing gang in the water also shouted: "Boss, let us hold on for a while, we will definitely be able to block it, we can block it!"
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie looked at the people in front of him and fell silent.
At this time, on a hillside not far away, Zhao Ya was standing there with Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San.
The water conservancy situation in front of us is almost clear at a glance.
Originally, the water should have flowed to Xiantao Village, but it was blocked by a man-made dam, so the flood could only hit the downstream villages.
At present, two villages have been flooded, and there are several villages and towns and thousands of households further downstream.
There are only a hundred households in Xiantao Village. The normal approach would be to abandon Xiantao Village and save the thousands of households below. But don't forget Xiantao Village, that is Chen Jiusi's hometown.
The hometown of such a person is not allowed to be flooded.
Because if the ancestral tomb was destroyed by a flood, it would be a catastrophe from the perspective of feng shui. Why would Chen Jie sacrifice himself for others?
Let alone one thousand households, even ten thousand households have nothing to do with Chen Jie.
And Xiantao Village is the existence that concerns everything to him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya looked at the scene in front of her and said, "Ah Da, if it were you, what would you choose?"
Ah Da was silent for a moment after hearing this and said, "Protect my hometown."
"Where's Ah Er?"
Ah Er was silent and said, "I am the same as Ah Da. Even if there are 10,000 households below me, it has nothing to do with me. Our ancestral tomb cannot be lost!"
Ah San also said after hearing this: "Whoever has the ability to protect his ancestral tomb must do so by himself. If it is flooded, you can only accept your bad luck."
After hearing this, Zhao Ya didn't say anything?
She actually considered it in her heart, and her reason told her that she should protect the majority, but her emotions told her that she should protect her hometown.
This is a dilemma.
So Chen Jiusi, how are you going to choose?
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie at the foot of the mountain. She really admired some of Chen Jie's governance ideas.
She also wanted to see what kind of mentality he had when faced with such a major issue. Her master once said that human nature is most easily revealed when faced with a dilemma.
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jiusi at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, Zhou Chu was holding Chen Jie's thigh at the levee below and said, "Boss, I know I didn't follow your orders this time and made decisions on my own. I committed a big mistake. Afterwards, you can kill me or chop me up. I will do whatever you want. But I beg you not to withdraw the levee. Xiantao Village cannot be flooded!"
Chen Jie looked at Zhou Chu, and at this time the gang members in the river also looked at Chen Jie and said, "Gang leader, Xiantao Village cannot be flooded!"
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Everyone, Xiantao Village cannot be flooded. Why? Because that is my home, Chen Jiusi, and my ancestral grave is there?"
"What about the downstream? Zhangjiagou, Pengjiazhen, Yanglinwei, do these places deserve to be flooded? There are thousands of households there!"
Chen Jie looked at the people in the field and said, "Do they deserve to be drowned?"
After hearing this, a gang member in the water said, "Boss, I'm from Yanglinwei. I'm willing to let my home be flooded, but your home must not be flooded!"
"Yes, I'm from Xiaosuntun, Zhangjiagou. My home was flooded just now, but I don't regret it. Gang leader, please let us continue to block it. We will definitely make it through."
"I'm from Xiaosuntun too."
"I'm from Pengjia Town."
"I'm from Yanglinwei."
……
The little brothers in the water introduced themselves one by one, shouting that their homes were downstream. They were willing to let their own homes be flooded, but they would never let the ancestral graves of their leader be flooded.
Chen Jie was touched when he heard this, but his face still had an unshakable tenacity.
Chen Jie hesitated for a moment and said, "Brothers."
"I know that you are all good brothers of my fishing gang. I also know that you are blocking here to protect me. I, Chen Jiusi, am very grateful."
"I heard what you said just now. You are right. This Xiantao Village is my hometown, Chen Jiusi. In fact, not only me, Chen Jiusi, but also Chen Xiaohu, Chen Wang, Chen Heng, and Uncle Zhong all have their homes in the Xiantao Village below."
"It can be said that more than half of the top leaders of our fishing gang are from Xiantao Village."
"We are the top leaders of the fishing gang. We earn much more than you do each month, but now we are facing a flood like this. As we all know, after a flood, nothing will exist and all industries will be wiped out."
"This loss is too great. You may not be able to bear it, but we, the top leaders, must bear it because we are your leaders!"
"So today I am making a statement. For things like this where the losses are huge, our leadership must take the lead in the losses. The higher the status of my fellow fishermen, the more we should think about taking care of our brothers, instead of just thinking about lining our own pockets and putting money in our own pockets."
"Today, I, Chen Jiusi, will set an example and open the dike to release the floodwaters. I will start with Chen Jiusi!"
"Ah, Gang Leader!"
After hearing this, all the gang members present widened their eyes and shouted for the gang leader.
They were truly moved.
Chen Jie looked at Wu Zhong and said, "Uncle Zhong, I asked you to evacuate the people in Xiantao Village. Did you evacuate them?"
Chen Jie was very afraid that Uncle Zhong would not listen to him and would not evacuate the people, because it would take a lot of time just to evacuate the people, and it would be easy to miss the best time period for flood discharge.
Uncle Zhong heard this and said, "Everyone has been evacuated. Huzi and Erba have already reached the high ground!"
After hearing this, Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Uncle Zhong could still be relied upon.
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Okay, everyone is here, come up."
Upon hearing this, the gang members who formed a human wall in the water all fell silent. Chen Jie said, "As the gang leader, I now order you all to come up!"
"Yes!"
After hearing this, all the gang members climbed out of the water to the river bank, and Chen Jie led them on the shore.
At this time, downstream, the village chiefs of Sunjiagou, Pengjiazhen and Yanglinwei villages were looking at their precarious embankments with their men.
At this time, someone said, "It's bad, our dam has started to leak. If the upstream doesn't release the flood water, our three towns will be lost!"
After hearing this, the hundreds of villagers following Bao Zheng all gnashed their teeth.
"Bao Zheng, what should we do?"
Bao Zheng remained silent. At this time, a citizen said angrily: "Damn it, it's all Xiantao Village. If they hadn't forcibly blocked the dam, would we have been flooded here?"
"That's right. Xiantao Village has become more and more arrogant because they have a fishing gang leader. Why should we be flooded when there is a flood? There are thousands of households downstream of us."
"That's right, that's right, the fishing gang is bullying others by taking advantage of their power!"
Bao Zheng heard this and said, "Keep your voice down, you are risking your life."
"We, what do we want to live? Our home is almost gone, and we still want this?"
"That's right, that's right, his fishing gang is bullying others by taking advantage of their power. My house can be flooded, but Chen Jiusi's house can't be flooded. Why?!"
"Yes, why?"
Bao Zheng heard this and said, "Shut up, why? Because his name is Chen Jiusi, because he is the leader of the fishing gang, because he is a big shot that we can't afford to offend. At this time, we are the unlucky little people. Why don't you accept it? If you don't accept it, go to the gate of the fishing gang in the county and shout!"
"Why are you all so cowardly? It's no use yelling at me. Aren't we the common people unlucky these days? Which big shot would care about our lives?"
"Let me tell you, Chen Jiusi is awesome. One of his hairs is thicker than your thigh. Do you have the qualifications to challenge him?"
"You all just bark like dogs. Hurry up and grab your shovels and try your best to block the dam."
Bao Zheng shouted, and all the villagers were speechless. Yes, although they were jealous of Chen Jiusi, compared with Chen Jiusi, they were just ants.
Maybe if Chen Jiusi was standing in front of them, they wouldn't even dare to speak loudly.
At this time, Bao Zheng led everyone and started to raise the dam with shovels, but the water was about to reach the dam and it could not be stopped at all. The destruction of the dam was almost inevitable.
Bao Zheng shouted, "There is no other way. We can't stop it. Let the villagers evacuate quickly. Don't go home. Saving your life is the most important thing."
After hearing this, the villagers below immediately let out a cry of pain. The feeling of powerlessness of having their homes destroyed made them feel like the sky was about to fall.
Bao Zheng looked at the flood that was about to overflow the embankment and closed his eyes helplessly. It was over, everything was over. What was coming next was a flood that would destroy houses, courtyards, and crops. Their town of thousands of people was all gone.
But just when he felt everything was over.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Hey, look, the water level has dropped!"
"Oh, really, look, the water, the water level has dropped!"
After hearing this, Bao Zheng suddenly opened his eyes: "What!"
"Niu Baozheng, look! The water level is dropping! It's dropping!"
Niu Baozheng immediately came to the dam, and then he saw that the water level was dropping madly. The dam was saved, and their village was saved!
Thinking of this, Niu Baozheng's face was filled with joy, and the people below also heard the good news, knowing that their homes were saved, and they immediately hugged each other and cheered.
"Ah, it's saved, it's saved, God please open your eyes, God please open your eyes!"
Listening to their excited shouts, Niu Baozheng's face was full of joy, but at the same time he was confused: why did the water level suddenly drop?
Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly saw a villager running back frantically, "Xiantao, Xiantao..."
Niu Baozheng immediately supported him and asked, "What happened to Xiantao?"
At this time, the villagers shouted excitedly: "Xiantao Village, the flood has been released!"
"what!"
After hearing this, not only Bao Zheng, but everyone around him widened their eyes. Niu Bao Zheng frowned and said, "How is it possible? That is Chen Jiusi's hometown. Their fishing gang failed to protect the embankment?"
The villagers shook their heads after hearing this, and said with admiration: "No, it wasn't the fishing gang that failed to save the dam, but it was Chen, the gang leader, who dug the dam himself and let the flood flow into his hometown!"
"what!!!"
After hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes: "How, how is this possible!"
"Chen, Chen Jiu, no, Boss Chen, Boss Chen of the Fishermen's Gang, personally dug the dam of Xiantao Village?"
Niu Baozheng asked again, and the villager said, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. At that time, the leader of the fishing gang, Zhou, and a group of gang members begged the leader Chen not to do that, but the leader Chen said..."
"He, what did he say!"
The people around also looked at the villager, staring at him, wanting to hear what Chen Jiusi had said.
The man shouted excitedly: "Boss Chen said that he is the boss of the fishing gang in Mianshui County, and the people of Mianshui County are his brothers and sisters. If a flood comes today, his home will be flooded first!"
As the villagers spoke, everyone around them looked stunned.
If you want to flood, flood his home first. Xiantao Village has Chen Jiusi’s ancestral tomb and the Chen Family Ancestral Hall.
Chen Jiusi is really devoted to the people. He doesn't even care about his own family.
Niu Baozheng stared for a long time, unable to control himself. The next moment, he knelt on the ground, facing the direction of Xiantao Village.
When the villagers saw Niu Baozheng kneeling down, the rest of the villagers followed suit. At this time, Niu Baozheng seemed to see Chen Jiusi, who resolutely dug up the levee and allowed the flood to flood his hometown.
He seemed to be standing there, radiating a divine aura.
Niu Baozheng knocked his head to the ground: "Thank you, Boss Chen, for saving my life!"
The people behind him kowtowed devoutly and said, "Thank you, Boss Chen, for saving my life!"
At this moment, the people of Zhangjiagou, Pengjia Town, and Yanglinwei all knelt down to express their gratitude after learning the true situation. From then on, they became Chen Jiusi’s most staunch supporters.
If anyone says something bad about the Fishing Gang, he will be the first to kill that person.
As the matter developed, Chen Jiusi's reputation became more and more famous, and Chen Jiusi had become a god-like figure in Mianshui County.
……
At this time, Chen Jie stood on the river bank in front of the dam, watching the surging river water rushing into Xiantao Village, knocking down the houses in the village, and completely destroying all traces of his life with Su Yunjin.
He felt extremely uncomfortable, but human life was more valuable than anything else, this was what Chen Jie insisted.
Zhou Chu and others behind him all stared blankly at everything in front of them. Looking at Chen Jie's back with his hands behind his back, they were overwhelmed with sadness and many of them cried.
At this moment, on the distant hillside, Zhao Ya was watching everything with appreciation and admiration in her eyes. Her master once told her: The greatest heroes serve their country and their people.
She saw what she admired most in Chen Jie: chivalry!
Zhao Ya thought about it and said to the three people behind her, "Come on, let's go meet Chen Jiusi. We have to ask him some questions!"
At the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket~
