Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Shitou Village is about 10 miles away from Dongxin Village. After bidding farewell to the villagers of Shitou Village, Li Captou and Sanchun rushed to Dongxin Village without stopping.

The carriage went all the way up the mountain, and the terrain became more and more dangerous. There was only a small road next to the cliff. This road was just big enough to accommodate a carriage. The road was full of potholes and bumpy.

Although he was used to riding in carriages during this period, the road was too bumpy. Miharu's stomach churned and he almost vomited out the black noodles he had eaten.

The journey was deserted, and they climbed over mountains one after another. Under the distant mountain col, Dongxin Village finally appeared in front of the two of them.

Finally, they were almost there, and the two of them felt excited. Li Dong quickly raised his whip and soon arrived at Dongxin Village.

Dongxin Village is not big, surrounded by mountains. It probably has less than 30 households. The houses are sparse and all are adobe houses.

This was the first time for Sanchun to come to Dongxin Village. Looking at the scene in front of him, Sanchun felt sad. He didn't expect that his second sister would marry in a place like this, which was even more remote than the mountain village.

I originally wanted to go directly to the second sister, but I had official business, so Miharu didn't dare to delay, so I decided to get down to business first and take a chance to ask the village chief first to see who the second sister's family would send to dig the well.

As soon as the two entered the village, they happened to meet a woman. Li Dong quickly tightened the reins: "Sister-in-law, where are you going to the village chief's house?"

There were very few horse-drawn carriages in this remote area of ​​Dongxin Village. When the woman took a closer look, she saw that the horse-carriage driver was actually wearing official uniform, and she was immediately shocked.

But then I thought about it. The village chief had previously informed me that the county would send people down. Maybe these were the people sent by the county to dig wells. He didn't dare to neglect at that moment and took them directly to the village chief Lin's family.

The village chief, Lin Da, is about 40 years old and seems to be a simple and honest man. He is walking around anxiously in the main room at the moment.

He had received news two days ago that the county had sent people to dig wells, but he hadn't seen anyone yet, which really worried him to death.

At present, the well in the village has less and less water. It seems that I can't hold on for a few more days.

"Dad, the villagers have almost gathered at the ancestral hall, waiting for you. No one from the county has come yet, so what should we do!" Lin Xiao, the son of the village chief, was sweating profusely and looked anxious. He ran back outside the door.

"You ask me, who am I asking!" Lin Da looked up to the sky and sighed.

His wife Hou Shi looked at her anxious husband, frowned, and couldn't help but said: "Master, just sit down and rest for a while. It's useless for you to be anxious! Since the county said they will send someone, you can just wait and wait." !”

Ugh!

Lin Da sighed: "That's what I say, but how can I sit still? Seeing that drinking water is a problem for nearly 400 people in the village, how can I still sit still?

Right now, the villagers are probably waiting for me at the ancestral hall! But the people from the county haven’t come yet, how should I explain! "

Lin Da was helpless at the moment. He only blamed himself for notifying the villagers in advance. Then the villagers would blame him.

"Village chief, there is an official looking for you!"

At this time, a woman's voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

coming……!

Lin Da's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, it was finally here! Smiling from ear to ear, he quickly walked out.

I saw a burly policeman wearing official uniform, with a square face, calm and powerful, and standing next to him was a man who looked about ten years old and looked a little childish.

Lin Da hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "This gentleman, I am Lin Da, the village chief of Dongxin Village. I don't know what you call me!"

Li Dong bowed his hands and said: "Village Chief Lin, my name is Li Dong, and I am the head catcher of the Heyang County Yamen." After speaking, he pointed to Sanchun next to him: "This is Zhang Sanchun, and he is responsible for guiding the work of digging wells."

Lin Da's face was full of surprise. He didn't expect that County Magistrate Xu would send a young man who looked so immature to guide digging wells. It was really unbelievable.

"father……"

Seeing Lin Dadai stunned, Lin Xiao on the side frowned, quickly pulled Lin Da's sleeves with his hands, and winked at Lin Dadai.

Lin Da turned his head and looked at his son's expression. Only then did he react. He clasped his hands and said with an awkward smile: "I didn't expect this little brother to be so young. He is really young and promising!"

After saying that, he bent down to salute and stretched out his hand: "You two have been working hard all the way, so please go to the humble house and have a glass of water. Please..."

Sanchun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Village Chief Lin is too polite. We have water with us. Let's not waste time and get down to business first."

Hearing what Sanchun said, Lin Da's face lit up and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was also very anxious now, for fear that the villagers would cause trouble if they were waiting in the ancestral hall.

Lin Da pointed at the carriage and said to Lin Xiao: "Second brother, you pull the official's carriage into the yard and tie it up!"

"Dad, I know!" After saying that, Lin Xiao stepped forward and took the reins from Li Dong's hand.

Then, he said to Li Dong and Sanchun: "You two, let's go, the villagers are still waiting in the ancestral hall!"

As a few people walked along, they seemed to hear noise coming from the ancestral hall. Lin Da frowned and quickly quickened his pace.

The ancestral hall of Dongxin Village is in the center of the village. Today, the ancestral hall is busier than before. Almost all the young adults in the village gathered in the ancestral hall, each holding a shovel in their hand.

At this time, everyone's faces began to look anxious, and they whispered to each other.

What's going on! The village chief told us to gather at the ancestral hall, and said that the county would send people, but there was no one there now. Not to mention the people from the county, even the village chief didn't see anyone! This is just for fun! "

"That's right, I've been waiting for most of the day, and I still have to hurry up the mountain. Our dinner hasn't arrived yet!"

"That's right! Is the village chief coming? If not, I'll leave." He said, picking up the shovel and about to leave.

At this time, a man in the crowd became anxious. This was Lin Da's eldest son, Lin Chou. Lin Chou lived up to his name. He was tall and thick, dark and strong, just like his mother.

Lin Chou opened his hands to stop him and said loudly: "Everyone, please be patient and wait a moment. My father is at home waiting for people from the county. They will be here soon!"

"Who are you fooling! We're from a remote country, will people come? Don't waste our time, get out of the way!"

Seeing that his father hadn't come yet, Lin Chou was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and couldn't speak. It was with great difficulty that he gathered the villagers together. But his father still didn't come and they would have to leave again later.

At this time, the sharp-eyed villager suddenly pointed to the front not far away and said loudly: "Hey, look, is that the village chief?" There seems to be a government official standing next to him! "

Suddenly, everyone fell silent and looked in the direction he pointed.

"Hey! It's really the village chief! Look, isn't that an official next to the village chief?"

"The village chief really didn't lie to us!"

Suddenly, the crowd became lively again, and some people who were anxious to leave stopped again.
