"Li Rui, you are talking. What did Hou Delin say to you?" Mao Buyi asked anxiously.

At first, he thought that the two of them had accumulated too long and could not be resolved overnight, especially Hou Delin and his long-cherished wishes, which were not so easy to change, so he always targeted Li Rui.

But soon he realized that something was wrong.

Because when this happened before, Li Rui was unmoved at all, and never even took Hou Delin seriously. But today, Li Rui was out of normalcy and felt very uneasy.

Li Rui was walking around the house repeatedly, and seemed to be extremely upset.

"Old village chief," suddenly Li Rui stood still and asked Mao Buyi: "We have really regulations in Turtle Village. If someone cuts off the water source, will they be expelled?"

Mao Buyi looked puzzled at first, and the monk Zhang Er was confused and said, "Why did you suddenly talk about this?"

Then he began to think. After a long time, he nodded slowly and said, "There is indeed such a regulation."

"What? It's really!" Li Rui was shocked.

"This Huichuan County means that hundreds of rivers gather. There are hundreds of rivers in the territory, and our Guicun is one of the main water sources. Therefore, water is extremely precious." Mao Buyi explained: "But, that's all

It was a village rule a hundred years ago. At that time, every household had to use water for a long time. They had to reclaim land and farm. God and the land were all rewarded with food, so water was considered so important."

"The regulations a hundred years ago?" Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is that invalidated now?"

But Mao Buyi denied it, "How is that possible! The villagers of our Gui Village have lived here for generations, relying on the blessing of their ancestors. The rules and regulations of this village have never been abolished once they were formulated, even if they were old customs in ancient times.

What should be followed must be followed, not to mention that there are clear regulations, which are words engraved on stone tablets that cannot be changed no matter how many years have passed."

Li Rui was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but was poured into a basin of cold water from Mao Buyi.

"There are clear regulations?" Li Rui suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness rising from the soles of his feet, and thought to himself: "It seems that Hou Delin is prepared. He just wants to take the tradition of Gui Village adhering to the village rules for generations and this

The words engraved on the stone tablet confirmed my crime. In this way, even if Mao Buyi wants to protect me, he will probably be powerless."

Hou Delin stood on the commanding heights of justice, and his situation was very unfavorable to Li Rui.

"Li Rui, you won't..."

Mao Buyi felt that something was wrong at this time. Li Rui would not ask about the village rules for no reason. There was only one reason-Li Rui moved the water source.

"I didn't!" Li Rui immediately denied, "It was the old fox Hou Delin who falsely accused."

"False accusation? What the hell is going on?"

"Hey, didn't my winery get the water from Taohua Creek? I don't know what's wrong. Today, Hou Delin broke in and insisted that I cut off Taohua Creek. I'm really a dumb and eat coptis chinensis. You said I'm fine, do it

What's the benefit of cutting off the water source?

"We can't explain clearly even if we open our mouths. Come with me to Taohua Creek to take a look." Mao Buyi said.

"That's right, everything must be spoken by facts."

Immediately, Li Rui followed Mao Buyi to Taohua Creek.

The two of them stood on the shore and looked at the stream, and were stunned.

I saw that Taohua Creek, which was originally abundant in water, had dried up and reached the bottom at this time. The pebbles on the stream were exposed on it. Walking up the coast, I found Li Rui's winery attachment.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

An earth dam appeared, cutting off the stream in half.

The winery seat is just above the earth dam, and the accumulated water is flowing into the winery's water intake pipes.

"A earth dam was built here?!" Mao Buyi was so scared that he lost his soul. He hurried to the edge of the earth dam, beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Who killed Qiandao, dared to cut off Taohua Creek!"

"This is clearly a frame-up." Li Rui looked at the awkward Tuba in the seat, feeling that he was right and couldn't explain it clearly.

"Li Rui, isn't this really what you did?"

Even Mao Buyi began to doubt that this was done by Li Rui.

"Hey, old village chief, why don't you even trust me? I, Li Rui, are you like this?"

Mao Buyi sighed helplessly and said, "I know you are not such a person, but this...hey, it's serious now. Violating the village rules is not a joke!"

"Old village chief, what's the matter? At worst, I just asked someone to dig the earth dam."

"You don't understand," Mao Buyi said very distressed, "If it were another stream, it would be fine if you dug it open, but this Taohua River is different. It is the Shenhe River in Turtle Village, the first in Turtle Village

People have been buried at the source of Taohua Creek for generations. The village rules stipulate that whenever my villagers are in this Taohua Creek, they can only take water and drink. They must not be cut off or ground, otherwise they will be disrespectful!"

"What?" Li Rui was so shocked that he couldn't stop talking.

If he had known this, he would never have chosen Taohua Creek as the source of water.

"There is a river temple downstream of Taohua Creek, which is the place where Guicun sacrifices are held. There is a stone tablet in front of the temple gate, which carved it on it is the village rules and regulations set by our ancestors a hundred years ago. What do you don't understand?

You can go and have a look." Mao Buyi said weakly.

Now what else is there to see these things? What Li Rui regrets most is that he has not visited the Heshen Temple for three years. If he had learned about the village rules earlier, today's trouble might have been avoided.

Li Rui really wanted to dig this damn earth dam, but Mao Buyi was very stubborn and would never agree to do so.

Helplessly, Li Rui had to go home first.

Aunt Liu was at home, and when she saw that Mao Buyi and Li Rui were not eating, she felt upset.

Mao Buyi sat down angrily and took a big mouthful of white wine.

"Old man, what happened?"

Mao Buyi glanced at his wife, shook his head and sighed, "This time Li Rui was afraid he was causing trouble. I don't know who blocked an earth dam upstream of Taohua Creek. This is a major event that violates the village rules.

I just can't even keep it."

"Taohua Creek? This is to soak the pig cage..."

"It won't be soaked in the pig cage, but if Li Rui wants to stay in Turtle Village, he may be..."

"Old village chief, Aunt Six, I, Li Rui, do things and do things alone, and I will not implicate you two," Li Rui stood up and said, "I don't believe it. Hou Delin can cover the sky with one hand and turn black and white!

”

"Li Rui, sit down." Mao Buyi said: "I see all these things for you in the village and seek benefits for the people, and I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. I will never let people with ulterior motives wrong you.

The plan now is to find out the truth of the matter. People are doing it and God is watching. Such a large earth dam cannot be built at once, and someone must cooperate with each other."

"Yes, there is no sound in the building of the earth dam under the villagers' noses. There is no sound at all. There should be someone nearby." Aunt Liu echoed.

"Well, I understand, I will definitely find out."

"But you have to hurry

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It's time to call, Hou Delin will hold a villagers' meeting tomorrow and will punish you with the village rules. Once the villagers agree with his point of view, you will have to be driven out of the village."

The next morning, Li Rui got up early, ate some food and arrived at Taohua Creek.

I saw a figure from afar and walked towards me.

"Li Rui, it's really you."

"Sister Yurou? Why did you come out early this morning?"

The person who came was Mao Yurou.

"Hey, I can't sleep anymore. I'm going to find you." Mao Yurou frowned.

Obviously Mao Yurou also knew about Li Rui.

"Did you know everything?"

"Nonsense, how can I not know about such a big thing?" Mao Yurou gave Li Rui a blank look and said, "I have a responsibility for this matter. I blame me for not telling you about the village rules. If you had known Taohuaxi before,

With special nature, I probably wouldn't have chosen this water source, and I wouldn't have been so passive now."

"Sister Yurou, this has nothing to do with you," Li Rui shook his head and said, "Besides, everything has happened, what's the point of talking about it?"

Mao Yurou smiled bitterly and said, "That's what I say, but there is one thing I don't know if it's right to say it?"

"What's the matter, just say it."

"I know that behind this is Hou Delin framed you. This time, he will not stop if he doesn't kill you," Mao Yurou looked at Li Rui and asked, "I just want to hear what you think

Yes, do you still want to stay in Turtle Village?”

"Think about it!" Li Rui said firmly.

"I have long regarded this place as my second hometown!"

"really?"

"Take it seriously!" Li Rui nodded and asked, "Sister Yurou, what do you want to say? Just say whatever you want."

"I just want to hear you!" Mao Yurou was very satisfied when she heard Li Rui's answer and said with a smile: "If you want to leave, Hou Delin can't do anything to you, but if you just leave like this, I, Mao Yurou

I underestimate you. What you said before before is a very high-sounding nonsense, then I will definitely think that you will leave! But if you want to stay, it proves that you are a real man. From the bottom of my heart, Mao Yurou

I like you and I like you, so this time, I will help you even if I do my best."

Mao Yurou made Li Rui's face flushed and said embarrassedly: "Sister Yurou, I'm embarrassed to say this."

"What are you shy about? What I said is true." Mao Yurou said charmingly.

"Ahem," Li Rui quickly changed the subject and said, "Sister Yurou, what should I do if I add it?"

"We have to walk on two legs," said Mao Yurou. "First, you have to feel the investigation, find the person who built the earth dam, catch him, don't tell him to run away, otherwise the shit on your head,

I can't take it off."

"Second, Hou Delin will hold a village meeting either today or tomorrow, but he is not alone in his decision on this village meeting. Do you have any guilt? People have to vote for you. I will help you win over the village's words.

If you have the support of someone who can't protect you, at least you can buy you some time."

Li Rui knew very well that investigating the truth is not an easy task, and he had to race against time, but once the villagers' meeting set aside today and he had to leave Turtle Village, it would be all over.

"Well, Sister Yurou is thinking carefully, so I'll thank you first. I will definitely find out the truth."
