031. Battle for the Boundary Stele (2/4)
The full moon rose into the sky, and the bonfire that was about to burn out crackled.
After roasting an entire cow and two sheep, only the skeleton was left. The meat on top was almost finished.
The women and children who had eaten their fill were still laughing and chatting. The men were all drunk and lying on the ground, including a few interview team members.
The only men who weren't drunk were Lin Hao and Uncle Ha Ri's brother-in-law, Lang Ri.
The reason why Lin Hao wasn't drunk was that he could drink, and the reason why Lang Ri wasn't drunk was that he was cheating.
Lin Hao saw Uncle Hari toast several times, and Langri secretly poured the wine away.
Regarding this, Lin Hao could only sigh. No matter how honest a nation was, there were also villains.
Too cunning!
An elderly granny walked over and apologized to Lin Hao.
"Guest, I'm sorry to make a fool of myself. They're all drunk.”
Lin Hao waved his hand enthusiastically.
"In the highlands, a host getting drunk is the warmest form of hospitality to a guest.”
"I'll help you send them home!”
Lin Hao's answer was very polite to the people of the plateau. The old lady waved her hand.
"We can get them home ourselves. We can't let our guests help us with this kind of thing.”
With that, the women came over one by one to apologize to Lin Hao and then helped their men home.
The best houses in the village had been cleaned out for Lin Hao and the others to live in.
Although Lin Hao didn't plan to stay overnight, he accepted the villagers 'kindness.
Looking at the few staff members who were lying on the ground like dead pigs, they were speechless.
When these guys first came, they despised the highland highland wine for being dirty and didn't drink a single cup.
But now, they were all so drunk that their mothers couldn't recognize them.
Lin Hao asked Bai Mengyao.
"They're all drunk. They definitely can't leave today. What should we do?”
Mengyao said after a moment of contemplation.
"Then we can only let them stay here for the night.”
Lin Hao nodded, then stood up and helped a few staff members into the house that the villagers had cleaned up.
Lin Hao asked Bai Mengyao.
"I'm going back to the poverty relief center. Do you want to stay here or come with me?”
Mengyao Bai nodded.
"I'll go with you."
Bai Mengyao was afraid that Lin Hao would misunderstand, so she explained.
"The higher-ups asked me to convey some things to you. It's not because I dislike the environment here and don't want to live here.”
Lin Hao was a little curious about what the leader wanted her to convey, so he joked.
"The environment at my place isn't good either. Let's talk in the car.”
Just as Lin Hao was about to leave, he was stopped.
"Leader Xiao Lin, this side of the Boundary Stone is considered to be from the Dragon Country, right?”
The person who stopped him was Uncle Ha Ri's brother-in-law, Lang Ri.
They were all relatives and of the same race. How could their personalities be so different?
Lin Hao didn't have a good impression of this Lang Ri who drank and sneaked away, so he casually dealt with him.
"That's right, we'll be leaving first!"
Then, Lin Hao drove away with Bai Mengyao, who was already in the passenger seat.
In Lin Hao's impression, the sly Lang Ri was drooling at the highland rape wine that he had secretly poured on the ground.
He had used the greatest willpower in his life to hold back from getting drunk.
Pouring away the wine was worse than letting him bleed.
But for the sake of the village's development and tonight's event, he must not let himself get drunk!
As for his brother-in-law, he could only apologize.
All the men in the village were drunk, and there was no better time than tonight.
Thinking of this, Lang Ri drove the bulls in the direction of his village.
When they reached home, it was already late at night.
There was no electricity in the village, and there were no entertainment activities. All the villagers went to bed early.
Lang Ri closed the cattle and went to every house to search.
The dark village was gradually lit up by the dim oil lamp.
"Hurry up and get up. There's something big in the village.”
A villager and his wife were having some primitive entertainment when they were interrupted by a loud shout from the door. They almost fainted.
"Damn you, it's the middle of the night. Do you want to die?”
Lang Ri did not feel guilty at all for almost scaring the other party and continued.
"Hurry up and get up. Gather at the village entrance.”
After saying that, Lang Ri went to inform the next shop.
The village wasn't big. In a short while, all the men, women, and children of the village had gathered at the entrance of the village.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Lang Ri stood on a higher rock and shouted.
"Do you know what happened to me in Gangga Village today?”
The sleepy villagers were curious and asked.
"What is it? Gangga Village is even poorer than us. What can happen to their village?”
"It's the middle of the night. Can't we talk about it tomorrow?”
"Your brother-in-law is in Gangga Village. Could it be that his family has given birth to another child? Or has the old man passed away?"
"Even if the old man has passed away, he shouldn't have woken everyone up in the middle of the night!”
...
Hearing the villagers 'guesses, Lang Ri no longer kept them in suspense and said directly.
"None of them. Gangga Village is about to be helped out of poverty. They have become the descendants of the heroes of the Tang Dynasty.”
The villagers looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
"Helping the poor? What was poverty relief? Can you eat or drink?"
"Dragon Country? What's so strange about that? Aren't we also from the Dragon Country?”
"Hero's descendant? Tang Dynasty? What do you mean?"
......
Lang Ri didn't really understand the villagers 'questions. He only knew the meaning of helping the poor, so he changed the topic.
"Helping the poor is to build roads and houses in the village so that the children can go to school and let all of us live a good life.”
As soon as he said this, the villagers all exploded and no longer paid attention to anything else.
"What is it? Road construction? Repair the house and let the children go to school? Really?"
"Helping the poor? Why should they help Gangga Village and not us?”
"We also want to help the poor. How can we help the poor?”
......
Lang Ri waved his hand to signal the villagers to be quiet and then said.
"I've already asked around. As long as you're from the Dragon Country, you'll be helped.”
"Only those who live in front of the stone can be considered as the real people of the Dragon Country.”
"People like us who don't have stones aren't considered real Dragon Country people.”
Lang Ri's words made the villagers boil.
"We're clearly from the Dragon Country too. Why are you saying that we're not?”
"We are the people of the Dragon Country. We also want to help the poor!”
"What kind of stone? We'll also get one and put it behind the village.”
......
Lang Ri was very satisfied with the villagers 'excitement.
"There's only one of that kind of stone behind Gangga Village. They're all drunk now, I'll take you to move it.”
Hearing Lang Ri's words, the villagers hesitated.
"Langri, stealing is wrong. Moreover, we have been married to Gangga Village for generations.”
"Yeah, let's look around and see if there are any other stones like that. We'll get one and move it to the back of the village.”
"If we steal the stones from Gangga Village, wouldn't Gangga Village be gone?”
"If we really steal it back and are discovered, I'm afraid the two villages will see blood.”
......
As the villagers questioned him, Lang Ri's wife, Uncle Ha Ri's sister, started scolding him.
"Langri, you dog, you dare to steal from my village? Are you tired of living?”
"We want to be helped out of poverty, but doesn't my family's village want to do the same?”
"What if there's no stone, and my family's village is no longer considered a real Dragon Country?”
Langri's wife shrank her head in fear and hurriedly explained.
"Honey, don't be anxious. Let me explain.”
"I've asked clearly. Even if your mother's village doesn't have any stones, it will still be helped out.”
"That stone doesn't belong to Gangga Village either.”
"As long as we move the stones over and use them for a few days, we can return them to them after we help the poor.”
Even though Lang Ri had already explained that the item did not belong to Gangga Village, the villagers were still somewhat apprehensive.
They had never stolen anything before, so they really could not do such a thing.
Seeing that the villagers did not speak for a long time, Lang Ri became anxious.
"Do you want to be a real Dragon Country citizen? Do you want to help the poor?"
"A new house, a white and smooth road, and a school for the children to learn.”
"Those who want it, lead the horse and follow me. Those who don't want it, go home and continue sleeping.”
With that, Lang Ri led his horse in the direction of Gangga Village.
After the men gathered at the village entrance were conflicted, they gritted their teeth and led their horses to follow.
The women lowered their heads in shame, but none of them, including Uncle Ha Ri's sister, stopped him.
He hoped that Gangga Village could forgive their behavior and return the stones after helping the poor.
After working for half a night, the group of men used dozens of horses to drag a stone tablet back to the village.
A battle for the stele was about to break out!
