The heavens seemed to confirm his bad premonition. When the bicycle was halfway down the slope, a person roared and raised the hoe in his hand to pounce on the other party. That person's reaction was also agile enough. He immediately raised the hoe in his hand to block. The hoe collided with a loud clang, causing his heart to hang in the air.

With one person taking the lead, the two groups were no longer standing on their own sides, and the crowd became chaotic. He didn't care that he was going downhill, but he still pedaled his bicycle and sped up. Before he reached the front, he shouted,"Stop!" At the same time, he jumped off the bicycle like a god. The bicycle ran at high speed for a long time before it fell to the side of the road. He had already jumped off and rushed into the fighting crowd without a pause.

That loud roar was called the Tiger Roar Shocking the Heavens, and it was the sixteenth move of the 24 Black Tiger Moves. In addition to Xiang Wentian's domineering posture of leaping down from the sky, it had indeed given everyone present a fright. Who had the ability to fly over like a great roc spreading its wings? This momentary daze caused fewer casualties in the crowd. Otherwise, by the time he arrived, there would probably be people on both sides who would be injured. This was called taking the lead.

A young man took the opportunity to raise his hoe and smash it at a burly man who was staring at him blankly. He was quick-witted and agile. He jumped into the air like a black tiger and blocked the falling hoe with his hand in mid-air. His arm blocked the wooden handle of the hoe. With a sound of "ah", the hoe was sent flying and fell outside the crowd. The young man held his hand and cried out in pain.

As if nothing had happened, he swung his right arm that was blocking the hoe. Looking at the young man, he snorted softly and said,"Are you alright? Didn't he tell her to stop? Why did you take the opportunity to sneak attack? Do you want someone to die?" He then asked one of the people whose head was broken,"Is it important? Should we send him to the hospital quickly?" The man shook his head and replied in a muffled voice,""It's fine. It's just a scratch on my scalp. It'll dry up in a while.”As he spoke, he casually wiped the blood on his head and wiped it on his pants. He squatted down and picked up a handful of yellow soil from the ground and rubbed it on his broken skin. The blood stopped.

The young man looked at him with a bit of fear. He quickly shook his head and didn't dare to speak. He quietly stepped back, but he saw blood trickling down his hand. He knew that the young man's hand had been broken by his strong obstruction just now. It should not be a big deal. He said indifferently,"Go home and bandage your hand. It'll be fine.”

He turned to the villagers and asked loudly,""What is going on? Wasn't he fighting a drought? Why did they have to fight? Could fighting solve the drought?”

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over and asked,""You, you're a leader from the town?”At the same time, he introduced himself as Lu Xiaomao, the militia commander of the Asparagus Brigade.

He was not the leader of the town, but the person who was arranged by the town to guide the drought relief work. He nodded ambiguously and was about to speak when two people ran over from a small road outside the crowd. One of them was older and shouted from afar,"Stop! Stop!"

Everyone looked at the two people running over. Lu Xiaomao said to him softly,"The older one is the brigade secretary.”

He nodded and saw clearly that the older person was Lu Daoqiang, the secretary of the Asparagus Village Committee. He was an old secretary in his fifties. Secretary Lu ran closer and realized that the fight had stopped. He felt strange but did not think too much about it. Seeing that he was alone, he nodded and turned around to ask them loudly,"Didn't we agree to go easy today? Why are you fighting again?"

"Secretary, they are unreasonable. They insisted that their village's fields should be flooded this year. They didn't acknowledge the brigade's words that the first flood should belong to our village.”A middle-aged man said loudly.

"Why does it have to be your Asparagus Village's turn every year? Can't our Xiaolu Village just turn its head back to the water? Do you think that you are the boss of the world and that all the benefits should belong to the people of Asparagus Village?”A middle-aged man with the same bronze complexion shouted. His expression was even more vicious, and he seemed to want to fight again.

"That's right. What decision of the brigade? It's clearly a trick. No matter what, we can't let the heads of your Asparagus Village return to the water this year. Our fields are very dry.”The person standing next to the middle-aged man echoed loudly.

The person standing on the other side also shouted loudly,"Are you still from the Asparagus Brigade? " If you don't want to listen to the brigade's words, go up and report if you have the ability. Damn it, our Asparagus Village originally occupied the most of the airport. It's already not bad to be able to give you a share of the water. You still don't have enough people. You really don't know what's good for you!”

Lu Daoqiang said loudly,"Villagers, calm down and listen to me. The water release today was a decision made by our brigade's cadre yesterday. Because it's really dry this year, we have to arrange the water release order. We can't let everyone release it without permission. In that case, the water in the lake's reservoir might not be enough to irrigate the fields in our village. The main reason is that we're afraid of wasting everyone's money.”

"You make it sound so nice, then tell me, why is it that every year, the brigade is always the one who replays the water in your Asparagus Village? Why can't we take turns? Our Xiaolu Village also has a leader who replays the water.”

"Big Lu, you have to watch your words. How dare you spout nonsense without any evidence? Which eye of yours saw me playing tricks, huh? We're all from the same brigade. Why should I do anything? The water is in the reservoir. Everyone will have a share. It's just that we'll get the water sooner or later. Why should we be so calculative and cause a life?”Lu Daoqiang said sharply.

"Don't care? Why can't the people of Asparagus Village just give way? Niannian, you have to go back for the first time. It's fine if you go back for the first time or twice, so why don't you agree? Why do we always have to give in to you?"

Secretary Lu couldn't control the situation. It was still possible for it to explode. He looked at the situation and asked,"Secretary Lu, I think we should let everyone calm down first. We can't continue talking like this.”

Only then did Secretary Lu realize that someone like him was here. He frowned and asked,"The town sent you alone? What's going on?"

He knew Secretary Lu a little. He often went to town for meetings and so on. They had met a few times, but he didn't know that he was looking at him like this. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't care less at this moment. He said,"Mayor Mi has something to do in the county. In my opinion, this kind of thing needs to be discussed by everyone. Only then will they be convinced. The matter is actually very simple.”

As soon as he said this, the people of Little Lu Village beside him echoed, saying,"This is how it should be done. We have to pay for the money, and we have to get our consent before doing anything.”

Everyone in the Asparagus Village had seen his skills and knew that he was sent by the town, so they did not dare to be presumptuous. Secretary Lu frowned and wanted to scold him in his heart, but he did not dare to say it in front of these villagers. In that case, his favoritism towards the Asparagus Village would be too obvious. It would not be good for his work in the village. He said reluctantly,"Since Secretary Xiang was sent by the town to guide the drought relief work in Asparagus Village, you have the final say. The village committee will cooperate with you.”

Since Secretary Lu said so, the people of Asparagus Village dared not object. He said loudly to the villagers," We can't afford to delay the drought. Since everyone has agreed to this, why don't we do it this way? Everyone, sign the lots. The representatives of the three villages will draw lots to decide the order of water release. What do you think?”

No one objected. Soon, the three lots were drawn, and the people of the three villages drew the order of release. The Asparagus Village's field drew the last lot. Secretary Lu looked at it with a black face, ordered the people at the airport to fill the water, and left without paying attention to him. The water from the reservoir was successfully pumped from the station, and streams of water flowed into the dry fields along the waterways dug by the villagers.

He had been busy for most of the morning. He saw that it was not a big deal for him to release water from the fields. The order had already been set, and the water channels had also been repaired. The villagers would naturally release water to their fields on time. No one was not concerned about this. Xiang Wentian went to the brigade headquarters. Usually, when the town leaders went to the countryside, they would sit in the office of the brigade headquarters and command remotely. However, when he encountered such a situation, he had no choice but to rush to the scene to give guidance.

When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, they found out that Director Qiu had called several times to ask about the situation here. It turned out that the brigade had sent someone to the town to report this matter. Captain Lu Li told him that Secretary Lu had already reported this matter to the town. It was probably nothing serious. Otherwise, the town leaders would have rushed over. He didn't pay much attention to it. Since someone had gone to report it, it was fine as long as the matter was clarified. He had to go back in the evening anyway. If there was anything he wanted to say, he could report it to the leader at that time.

In the past, Xiang Wentian had followed the leaders to the countryside. The brigade officers were all very enthusiastic. It was probably rare for them to receive such treatment. At noon, he said that he would eat whatever he wanted, and Secretary Lu did not stand on ceremony. He did not even drink beer. The only person accompanying the guests was the captain, Lu Li. He only made a simple meal and did not even eat meat or fish. According to common sense, the rules of packing cigarettes for village officials were simplified. He understood that Secretary Lu was venting his dissatisfaction with what he had done in the morning and putting on a face for him to see. It was uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do. He was an officer and could not do anything to a brigade officer. He could treat him however he wanted.
