The people in Zhoujia Village looked at each other, wondering for a while whether they should believe what the few people in front of them, who might be monsters, said.

He Fengyu sighed helplessly: "Everyone, we came here to find the water source to save our lives. Do you think we came here to destroy the farmer because we have nothing to do?"

Many people from Zhou Family Village nodded their heads: "What you said seems to make sense."

"If that's the case, then these monsters aren't really guilty of anything."

"Don't be fooled by them. These are monsters. God knows what tricks they have."

"Yes, we can't trust the monster's words."

"That's not necessarily true. Monsters also want to survive. Now that the drought is so severe, monsters also need water."

"How do you know you need water? Maybe the monsters don't need water at all. These hateful monsters are simply deceiving us."

"This is carp spirit, your fish can live out of water?"

"Carp can't live out of water, but these carp spirits can come ashore. God knows what else they can do."

When they were discussing, Fang Hubin said with displeasure: "Brother, we are not monsters at all, why do you say that?"

Zhang Daxian regretted why he didn't cover Fang Hubin's mouth just now.

This guy, doesn't he know what to say and what not to say?
Originally, their situation was very dangerous, but it was He Fengyu who lied and temporarily resolved the current crisis.

As for monsters and the like, others may believe it, but it is absolutely impossible for people like Zhang Daxian to believe it.

As a storefront handling cases for so many years, what pretense and tricks haven't I seen?
Although what He Fengyu said was true, Zhang Daxian immediately guessed that this guy was definitely lying.

But at this time, Swagger can temporarily appease the excited people. No matter what he says, there is no problem.

As long as they can persist until my prefect Wu Zhen arrives, their danger will be lifted immediately.

But Zhang Daxian never thought that at this critical moment, Fang Hubin, one of his own, would jump out to disrupt the stage at such a critical moment.

Nima!

If you don't want to live anymore, take a knife and kill yourself, why drag them into the water together.

But this time, Zhang Daxian was obviously worried for nothing.

Even if Fang Hubin categorically denied it, no one believed at this time that they were not monsters.

Things like preconceived ideas cannot be changed in a few words.

"He explained in such a hurry, shouldn't we be right?"

"These monsters must have some other conspiracy. We must not let them go so easily."

"Junior Brother!" He Fengyu looked at Fang Hubin with a resentful face: "It's all here, what else can't be admitted?"

"If the water source is no longer found, all of us may die."

"Instead of that, it's better to tell the truth."

"I think these human beings are not greedy. If we can cooperate with them, we might be able to solve the water problem here. It will be better than us running around like headless flies."

Fang Hubin said unconvinced: "But brother, now we don't need to cooperate with anyone at all, we have found the water source, next..."

Before Fang Hubin could finish his sentence, the elder of the Zhou family village seemed to have given out more air than breathed in just now.

Suddenly he snapped: "Wait a minute! What did you just say, you found the water source?"

He Fengyu hurriedly waved his hands and said modestly: "Old man, you misunderstood. We didn't really find the water source, but just found a place that seems to have a water source."

Different from the humble He Fengyu, Fang Hubin looked triumphant: "Nonsense, don't you even look at who my senior brother is?"

"My senior brother has done it himself, how can I not find a mere water source?"

"If you humans didn't stop us, my brother..."

"Shut up, stop talking!" Zhang Daxian finally caught up once.

He had been paying attention to Fang Hubin for a long time, because he was afraid that this guy would say something that he shouldn't say.

His preparations were not in vain. Fang Hubin had just opened his mouth when he rushed over and tightly covered Fang Hubin's mouth to prevent him from continuing.

Zhang Daxian's actions can't be regarded as unpleasant, Fang Hubin had just opened his mouth, and he had already pressed back Fang Hubin's words behind him.

But even so, Fang Hubin's words were spoken after all, and many representatives present heard them clearly.

Just because they heard his words, everyone in Zhoujia Village fell into a strange silence.

After a while, someone started whispering again.

"Did you hear what he said? Did they really find the water?"

"This is impossible. We are a field here. How can there be any water here? If there was, we wouldn't have to fight with other villages with our lives."

"But those people are monsters after all, maybe they really have a way?"

"No matter how we try, it's definitely not a good idea. We can't be fooled by these monsters!"

"But, what if there is water? If these monsters really find the water source, then our village will be saved."

In the end, the clan elder stood up.

With the crutch in his hand, he hit the ground heavily to calm everyone down.

When no one was talking around, the clan elder looked at He Fengyu with expectant eyes: "Young man, is everything you said true?"

The voice was extremely gentle and caring, as if the person in front of the clan elder was not some frightening monster, but his own little grandson.

He Fengyu said solemnly: "Go back to the old man, everything I said is true, we really found the source of water here."

"If you don't believe it, just give us a moment and let's dig now and we can show you the water."

"Is there really water?" The clan elder asked in disbelief.

It's not that he doesn't understand what He Fengfeng said, it's just that he can't believe it.

Now the whole of Datong is suffering from drought.

In this case, a person who looked like a monster actually said that he had found the water source.

This incident really made the elders of the Zhou family village a little unbelievable.

In fact, not only the clan elders, but also the villagers did not believe it.

"You can get water by digging casually. Is this a fool's errand?"

"Third uncle, you must not trust this guy."

"I'm sure this guy is really fooling us."

"It's funny. He actually said that he dug out some water? You can see clearly what this apprentice is doing. Even if there is water, it must not be in the field."

It's just that this clan elder had different ideas from those of them. He scolded everyone impatiently: "Stop talking to me."

After the villagers calmed down, the elder asked patiently: "Let me ask you, where is this water?"

There are still several people who have the same thoughts as the clan elders.

They all looked around, continuously looking at the dry fields around them.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't see any trace of water around them.

Finally, some people couldn't help it anymore: "That's nonsense, where is the water here?"

"I think you monsters have ulterior motives at all. You are trying to fool us by talking about looking for water?"

"Third uncle, these people...these monsters must have no good intentions."

"Shut up!" The third uncle had to maintain order at the scene again.

Otherwise, the people in Zhoujia Village would be so chattering that they wouldn't hear anything at all.

"Old man, I have eaten more salt than you little children have traveled."

"Whether the words of these monsters are true or not, I naturally have a way to distinguish. I don't need you juniors to tell me what to do."

"If anyone dares to speak indiscriminately again, I will serve directly at home."

After hearing what the clan elder said, everyone obediently shut their mouths.

There are even people who are afraid of saying the wrong thing, so they directly use Wuzhu's own mouth.

The village rules and family rules in this era are not just for fun, but really fatal.

The imperial power does not go to the countryside.

Due to the limitation of ten points, even with the appearance of Zhu Han, a traverser, many things still cannot be changed in a short time.

Just like the ordinary people who maintain the most basic operation of the entire Ming Dynasty.

In fact, it is not the government of Dameng that really manages them.

Not even local county magistrates and village chiefs.

It is actually the gentry families from all over the place that really maintain local law and order and operate normally.

And the elders of each village.

These people really have the right to decide a person's life and death.

For example, the famous pig cage dip.

Once the cheating parties are caught, they don't even need to report to the government, and the clan elders can decide to implement this criminal law.

Not to mention that the government may not know, even if they know, they will not take care of it at all.

The government of this era was different from that of later generations, and its control over local areas was actually quite low.

This is also why, sometimes it is obviously not a particularly big matter, but it can be used to boil people's grievances, and it will turn against the sky.

Because many local parents and officials may not even know what is going on below.

With the power of life and death, the status of these clan elders is naturally very different.

Seeing that the people in Zhoujia Village were finally honest.

The clan elder nodded in satisfaction.

He continued to turn his head to look at He Fengfeng: "I will ask you one more question, is what you just said true?"

"If you dare to lie to me, old man, then don't blame me. I'm rude."

The attitude of the clan elder is not very harsh, but the more so, the more people can feel a faint sense of majesty.

Among them, Zhang Daxian felt the most clearly.

Just now, when the old man was talking, Zhang Daxian even had a vague feeling of facing Wu Zhen, a rejuvenated man.

"Are you kidding? It's just an old man."

Zhang Daxian himself felt that there must be something wrong with his brain, that's why he felt this way.

The clan elder looked at He Fengyu with burning eyes: "How can you prove that everything you said is true?"

"It's impossible for you to say something casually when your upper lip touches your lower lip here, so we have to believe what you say?"

What He Fengyu has been waiting for for so long is this opportunity.

He wasn't afraid that the people in Zhoujia Village would ask them to prove it, but he was afraid that these people who had lost their heads would do it without saying a word.

It would be too unfair to die at the hands of one's own people.

Ever since he said that he was a monster, He Fengyu had actually expected it, and it was very likely that this would be the result.

It's just that he is young after all, and he hasn't experienced too many things. When encountering such a thing, he will inevitably feel a little flustered.

Although Fang Hubin is not a particularly smart person, he also knows that at a critical moment, he cannot tear down his senior brother.

The words he said were not just what he thought of.

Instead, He Fengyu handed it to him sentence by sentence.

There is no other purpose, nothing more than a procrastination.

His only function is to attract the attention of the people in Zhoujia Village so that they have no choice but to act immediately.

Fortunately, his approach was successful after all.

Others are fine, the most important thing is that the clan elders of Zhoujia Village believed their words and gave them a chance to be busy with themselves.

He Fengfeng didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately ordered his servants: "Don't be stunned, haven't you heard what the old man said, hurry up and prepare to dig the water source."

Hearing He Fengyu's words, the people of Zhoujia Village began to buzz again.

"Why do I feel that something is wrong? Aren't these people monsters, monsters have to do it themselves to fetch water? Don't they know any spells?"

"Could it be that they are not monsters at all, but..."

"No, these people shouldn't be rebels, right?"

All of a sudden, there was a lot of speculation.

He Fengyu pretended not to hear what they said and just looked at the old man, his third uncle, secretly.

The old man said flatly: "Please continue."

Hearing this, He Fengyu breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, it doesn't matter what others think, as long as the clan elder can trust them.

The people of Zhoujia Village were still slandering just now, He Fengfeng and the others didn't look like monsters or anything.

In the end, what He Fengfeng and the others brought out made everyone speechless.

"What is this, why have I never seen it before?"

"Are you sure these things are used to dig wells?"

"No matter how you look at it, this thing looks more like a weapon."

"Be careful, everyone, don't be fooled by someone's appearance!"

Many people surrounding He Fengyu and them all backed away slowly, intending to put some distance away from them first.

After all, what He Fengyu and the others brought were all steel pipes.

No matter how you look at it, it looks more like a weapon.

He Fengyu nodded towards Fang Hubin: "Junior Brother Fang, please."
