I really don't want to be a teacher

Although it is slow, at least until next year, there will be no need to see people from two villages blocking the entrance of the village with hoes and shovels, beating to death for the water in the river. "

The village head of Xujia Village was talking, and looked outside the village, in the direction of the canal, with a smile on his face,

Immediately afterwards, the head of Xujia Village turned his head back,

"...Sir, I'm really sorry. You passed by our village, and you haven't had a glass of water after talking for so long. Let's sit in the village." Apologetically, the village head of Xujia Village looked Said to Lian Ge.

"Don't worry about it, just stand here." Lian Ge shook his head slightly.

Hearing this, the village head of Xujia Village didn't continue to persuade, and nodded.

Turning around, he looked at the ditch outside the village again,

After a pause, the head of Xujia Village continued with a smile on his face,

"...Actually, most people in the village seem to have forgotten it. The current ditch did not exist in the first place.

It was dug out by the ancestors of Xujiacun and Chenjiacun..."

Saying that, the head of Xujia Village shook his head,

"...Then sir, please do what you want. I'll excuse you first. Several people in the village are still digging in the ditch. I can't be lazy for too long."

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the head of Xujia Village and nodded.

Afterwards, the head of Xujia Village picked up the mud-stained shovel, turned around, strode away towards the outside of the village.

……

Seeing the figure of the young village chief disappear from sight again, and then glanced at the quiet entrance of the village, Lian Ge paused and looked away.

Turning around, and applying the 'invisibility' spell to himself, Lian Ge walked towards Xu's Village.

……

Skimming the village entrance, walking along the village road towards the village.

Around, it became noisy again.

"...Made, that bastard in Chenjiacun is really nasty. Help me see, is there a black arm here?"

A middle-aged man with pain in his shoulders was sitting on the threshold of his house, cursing the people of the Chen family village while talking to his wife.

"...Then what is Xu Zhijie? How dare he yell at my mother. When my mother was in the village, he didn't know where he was. Now that he is the village chief, it's a big deal. It's fine if he doesn't help the villagers, but he also helps the Chen family. people."

A middle-aged woman was walking towards her house, cursing and yelling, causing the people on the side to look sideways from time to time,

"...The village chief is really, he asked us to pool money to dig a well before. Why, our money fell from the sky? Let me see, if you want to dig a well, it must be dug by the people of Chenjia Village!"

On the side, another person continued,

"...Hey, he also led a few people to dig a ditch there, saying that he would rework the ditch beside the ditch. I want to see how long he will dig with those few people."

"Don't say that, when the time comes, someone else has dug the ditch, and it won't be used by you."

"Then I'll have to wait..."

"Enough! Don't you guys have any brains? Did the village chief dig the ditch for himself? Did he dig it for the people in the village? It's fine if you don't help, and you're still talking sarcastic here!"

On the side, in a yard, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old listened to the words of a few people on the road, blushed and couldn't help but say something.

After the voice fell, the noise on the road stopped abruptly. It seemed that they didn't expect someone to refute them, and they were stunned for a while.

"You know what a fart, you protect him so much, why don't you help him!"

One of the middle-aged women stuck her neck and yelled.

Hearing this, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy turned around, took a shovel from behind, and walked towards several people on the side of the road.

Seeing the young man approaching with a shovel, the woman who was yelling before was a little scared, she took a few steps aside and shouted softly,

"...Why, you want to hit someone!"

But the young man with the shovel just held the shovel, passed them by, and walked out of the village without saying a word.

"...This is also a brain problem. Is this ditch so easy to dig? Then you will be as tired as a dog, and you will never go again."

The woman who escaped muttered in a low voice, chewing on the back of her tongue,

On the road, the villagers who were walking towards their homes turned their eyes to look at the boy.

Some people were like the middle-aged woman, chewing their tongues and making sarcastic remarks, while others were a little silent.

"...Old man, where are you going?"

"Go to the ditch and see if my old bones can still be used."

The old man who was talking to Lian Ge before also walked out of the village with a cigarette stick in one hand and a hoe in the other.

"The little village chief is right, we can do this, but if our sons and grandsons continue to do this..."

The old man shook his head while talking, and gradually walked away.

……

Seeing the figures of the old man and the young man drifting away in sight, Lian Ge paused, with a smile on his face.

Slightly stamped his feet, glanced at the people in the village, and stopped walking towards Xu's Village, Lian Ge turned around and walked out of the village.

And behind him, in the courtyards of various houses, the villagers on the road became more silent, and the yelling of cursing decreased.

After pausing for a while, most people continued to walk back to their respective homes with shovels and hoes.

A very small number of people stood in place for a long time.

The few women who were cursing before that seemed to realize that the atmosphere was not right, and after chewing something in a low voice, they quickly left towards their home.

Chapter 222 Water

"...Come on, give me a hand."

"Village chief, why don't you take a break?"

"I'll be lazy just now, no need. If you're tired, go sit on the shore for a while, and I'll dig your piece."

... Outside the village, beside the original ditch, several young people from Xujia Village were standing in the excavated river channel, digging forward.

Beside the canal, Lian Ge slightly stamped his feet and glanced at the few people who were digging in the canal.

"...Hey, sir, why did you come out and stop wandering around the village?"

The head of Xujia Village, who looked up at the river bank, saw Lian Ge and greeted him.

The rest of the people who were shoveling and hoeing the soil couldn't help but look up at Lian Ge. The old man who had talked to Lian Ge before also recognized Lian Ge.

"...Young man, are you leaving now? It is fate to be able to go to the village. Why don't you just sit around and have a meal in the village before leaving."

Hearing this, looking at the people in the river, Lian Ge shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze, and looked behind them,

Behind them, the excavated ditch stretched from where they were to the direction of Chenjia Village.

"There's no need to eat." Lian Ge looked away, looked at the busy people, smiled slightly,

After a pause, he looked at the head of Xujia Village again,

"Mr. Xu, this ditch has been dug for some time, right?"

"It's been digging for more than a month." The head of Xujia Village turned his head, glanced at the river stretching to Chenjia Village behind him, and replied.

While talking, he dug a few more hoes toward the one in front of him. Another person next to him shoveled the soil into the dustpan, and another person standing on the river bank dragged the rope tied to the handle of the dustpan out of the river.

The river is not very deep, probably just below the heads of several people, and the width is just enough for two people to swing hoes side by side at the same time.

Looking at the river in front of him and the people in the river, Lian Ge smiled slightly,

"Since we've been digging for so long, has Village Chief Xu thought about digging deeper?"

"Sir, what do you mean?" The village head of Xujia Village was a little puzzled when he heard the words, he stopped the hoe in his hand, looked up at Lian Ge,

Lian Ge glanced at the head of Xujia Village, then looked away,

Turning his eyes to the nearby and distant hills, watching the ups and downs of the terrain and mountains, and the changes in the atmosphere, Lian Ge said calmly,

"My ears are fairly sensitive, and I can barely hear the water under your feet, Village Chief Xu."

The voice fell,

In the river, on the river bank, the people who were digging the river suddenly stopped, looked at Lian Ge, and then turned their eyes to their village chief.

Four times, instantly quiet down.

Hearing this, the village chief of Xujia Village put down his hoe, looked at Lian Ge, and then at the people around him, but didn't speak for a while.

……

Lian Ge glanced at the few people in the river, but said nothing more.

Withdrawing his gaze, he turned around and walked straight up the slope without stopping.

behind,

In the river, the head of Xujia Village first stopped Lian Ge, but seeing that Lian Ge didn't stop,

Immediately afterwards, the river became quiet again.

"...Try it."

On the side, the old man who held the cigarette rod in his hand again looked back at the village head of Xujia Village and said.

"Then try it."

The head of Xujia Village nodded, picked up the hoe again, stepped back a few steps, waved the hoe, and dug down on the ground with one hoe.

The first hoe, like digging other places, is still mud with little moisture.

Immediately afterwards, seeing the village chief start to move, the other young people followed closely, digging under the ground with hoes and shovels.

In just a few minutes, the bottom of the river channel was dug down again.

"village head……"

Seeing that there was no trace of water, the young people beside him couldn't help turning their attention to the head of Xujia Village again.

"It's just that there is water, so it's so easy to see." The head of Xujia Village didn't stop his hoe and said, "Keep digging."

Hearing this, several young people picked up their hoes and shovels again,

On the side, the old man also put the tobacco rod in his mouth again, and picked up the hoe.

Several hoes and shovels fell to the ground one after another.

Then,

A stream of water broke through the last shackles of the ground, lifted the last layer of soil, and spewed out from the hole dug down again at the bottom of the river,

The rushing water poured over several people in the river, and they couldn't help shaking.

"There's water! There's water...hahaha!"

The person who reacted first looked at the water column gushing out of the pothole, and couldn't help cheering loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people also cheered,

Biting the pipe that was soaked in water, the old man also laughed,

"There is water... there is water..."

The water column gushing out from under the ground gradually grew larger, and in the excavated channel, water accumulated and rushed downstream.

……

On the road between the two villages, Lian Ge smiled slightly as he heard the cheers that came to his ears clearly with the mountain wind.

"Let's go."

"Squeak, squeak!"

Without staying too long, Lian Ge moved his feet and walked along the road in the direction he came from.

Behind him, the two adjacent villages in the mountain depression drifted away with the cheers.

……

Along the winding mountain road, Lian Ge walked slowly while looking at the mountain scenery along the way.
