Chapter 4 Old Rules
Just after noon, the sun was a little hot in the sky.
A dam slightly higher than the surrounding fields is full of low weeds, and at this dam, dozens of people have gathered at this moment. Most of them are adult men. These dozens of people are divided into two groups, confronting each other, and constantly scolding each other, but no one has done it first.
At this moment, many people gathered under the dam on both sides, but surprisingly, few people squeezed towards it, and the women consciously stood under the dam. The burly man under the dam quickly rushed to the dam in three steps and two steps.
"Master Qin!" Looking at the men rushing up, the people on both sides were slightly stunned, and then they all said with a little respect. This person is Qin Bing's father, Qin Yi. Then two men rushed to the dam. These two men were Qin Bing's uncle and second uncle, Qin Zheng and Qin Wu.
As the three rushed to the dam, the momentum on Qinjiazhuang suddenly became much stronger. On the contrary, the people of Xujiazhuang were a little weaker in momentum. However, such a stalemate did not last long, and Xu Jiazhuang also quickly rushed behind three people.
"Master Xu." Looking at the three people who rushed up, one of them was also burly, about 40 years old. He was slightly shorter than Qin Yi, but he was two points fatter. This man also held a spear in his hand like Qin Yi. This person is Xu Ming, the martial arts master of Xujiazhuang!
With the addition of Xu Jiazhuang and the three, there were some wins and losses in the momentum of both sides.
At this time, Qin Hu pulled Qin Bing and came to the dam. Qin Hu secretly had the reputation of the first hero of the new generation in the village. Although he did not know the importance of the attack, no one stopped them at this time, and the two quickly squeezed into the dam.
"Master Xu, the two Zhuangzi are discussing the allocation of water sources. Your behavior like Xu Jiazhuang should not pay attention to our Qinjiazhuang!" Qin Yi arched his hand to Xu Ming on the opposite side and said coldly.
When Xu Ming heard the words, he didn't say a word, and he didn't know whether he was wrong or didn't want to pay attention to Qin Yi.
"Is this grabbing water?" Looking at the pond in front of him and hearing it along the way, Qin Bing also understood a little.
Since spring ploughing, God has not rained for half a month. This grain needs water for growth, and this common sense is also known by Qin Bing, a person who has never done farm work in his previous life. However, this water is exquisite. This pond is shared by the two villages of Qin and Xu. Now the crops in the two farms are short of water, but there is only one pond, which is a contradiction.
Who uses it first and who uses it later? Use more and less? It's all a thing that needs to be solved.
In the past two days, the two Zhuangzi have also been discussing this matter, but they have not reached an agreement. Unexpectedly, at lunch today, the people of Xujiazhuang came to open the pond to release water. How could this man from Qinjiazhuang agree! You should know that this water is related to the grain harvest and the livelihood of thousands of people in Qinjiazhuang in the next year, which is definitely irrecondable. So the two sides were deadlocked.
"Qin Yi, don't talk too much nonsense. Let's follow the old rules." Maybe he saw a lot of people, so Xu Ming said.
"Old rules!" Qin Yi couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, turned around and discussed it in a low voice with Qin Zheng and Qin Hu, and then said, "You and I can't decide this matter. Let's ask your patriarch to come."
Although Qin Yi and others have become the backbone of Qinjiazhuang, this is a major event related to the livelihood of the whole Zhuangzi, and they are not able to decide.
Xu Ming also nodded when he heard the words. As Qin Yi said, such a big event could not be decided by him as a martial arts master.
At this time, dozens of people on the Xujiazhuang dam separated a road from the middle.
An old man in his 70s strode out.
"The patriarch!" Xu Ming and others hurriedly said.
"Piang. Xu!" Qin Yi's three brothers bowed to the old man.
"Three heroes of the Qin family." Looking at Qin Yi and the other three, a trace of appreciation flashed in the old man's eyes and immediately said, "Where's your father?"
"Dad will be there soon." Qin Yi said.
It was the owner of Xujiazhuang who talked to Qin Yi.
"Haha..." As soon as Qin Yi's words fell, there was a burst of laughter behind him.
"Grandpa!" Qin Bing and Qin Hu quickly turned around.
I saw a tiger-backed bear waist and a dark-faced old man strode. It was Qin Hong, the current owner of Qinjiazhuang. When he saw Qin Hong, the man in Qinjiazhuang on the dam immediately gave way.
Qin Hong walked to the three people and said loudly, "Xu Ao, you should already know what happened, and I don't care about the cause. Let's talk about it. How do you plan to solve it?"
"Good! Qin Hong, it's really refreshing!" Xu Aolang laughed and said, "Of course it's the old rule!"
"Good!" Qin Hong laughed and nodded.
"Old rules?" Qin Bing was a little puzzled. He had heard these three words more than once, but he didn't know what the rules were!
"Xiao Bing, you don't know that!" Qin Hu, who was beside him, couldn't help laughing when he saw Qin Bing's puzzled face, "I know!"
"Oh... say it!" Qin Bing said hurriedly.
"The so-called old rule refers to one-on-one comparison." Looking at Qin Bing, who was a little puzzled, Qin Hu continued, "If there is any conflict between the two Zhuangzi, most of them are solved in this way. In the one-on-one comparison, one side sent three people, and the first person to lie down or admit defeat turned into a loss. In addition, if he is in the fight, he is beaten out of the field is also a loss!"
"It turned out to be like this!" Hearing Qin Hu's words, Qin Bing couldn't help but be terrmented. He didn't expect that this water, which was not in his eyes at all in his previous life, could only be enjoyed after such a cruel battle in this life.
And the most cruel thing is that this fight is not only about the lives of the three people, but also about the survival of thousands of people in the whole village. At this moment, Qin Bing understands the rules of the world! This rule exists even between the two villages.
On the dam, Qin Hong and Xu Ming took two steps, holding three pieces of red paper in their hands, and the other hand did not know what was written on the red paper, but it was kneaded into a ball and handed to the other party.
"What is this for?" Looking at the movements of his grandfather and the owner of Xujiazhuang on the dam, Qin Bing asked Qin Hu beside him.
"Catch the pluck and decide the order of the test!" Qin Hu turned his head and whispered.
Qin Bing was slightly stunned when she heard the words, even if she understood a little. This kind of lot is likely to cheat. The battle between the two sides depends not only on strength, but also on luck. If you are strong, you will not be able to win!
"Binger, why did you come here?" Just as Qin Bing was paying attention to the dam, Chen Yan also came to him and scolded angrily, "This place is so messy. What if something happens?"
Since Qin Bing was accidentally injured by Qin Hu last time, Chen Yan has been even more careful about Qin Bing, and she is willing to let him go to a dangerous place.
"Aunuch, it's okay. I'm protecting Xiaobing." Qin Hu, who was beside him, said with a giggle.
When Qin Bing heard Qin Hu's words, he felt bad and quickly pulled the corner of Qin Hu's clothes. It's okay for this guy not to say this. After saying this, I'm afraid his mother will be more worried. After all, Qin Bing was injured in Qin Hu's hand last time.
Sure enough, hearing Qin Hu's words, Chen Yan's face became more ugly. If it hadn't been for the people who surrounded here, she would not have reprimanded Qin Hu.
"Xiaoyan!" At this time, Qin Yi came over and said, "Well, not to mention the two children. Since they are both here, my Qinjiazhuang's children are not afraid of things. Sooner or later, they will have to face these things. If you see them earlier, you may be more sensible."
Qin Hu, who was beside him, nodded quickly when he heard the words. He was convinced of Qin Yi's words, because his father also said so.
Qin Yi walked to Qin Bing's side, touched Qin Bing's head and said, "Son, take a good look at this competition. When you grow up, you will also become a good man and protect your aunt and uncle in Zhuangzi. If you can catch up with the tiger, your father can wake up with a smile when he sleeps."
"Hmm!" Qin Bing nodded quickly. Catch up with Qin Hu? His father also underestimated himself, but Qin Bing could only hold this in his heart.
Qin Hu can lift 200 catties of heavy objects at the age of nine. If he exercises properly and adds later efforts, he must be the first hero in the village when he reaches adulthood. There are many people who have this view. Qin Yi has this view, and Qin Wu is naturally the same. If it hadn't been for this, Qin Wu would not have told him when Qin Hu was only ten years old.
You should know that most of the children in Zhuang did not begin to follow Qin Yi to practice martial arts until the age of eight. At the age of seven, only Qin Hu began to follow Qin Yi to practice martial arts at the age of six and a half. It shows how high Zhuang's expectations are for him.
On the dam, Qinjiazhuang and Xujiazhuang quickly gave up an open space in the middle and drew a large circle with spears. This is the venue for the test!
"In the first game, Qin Zheng is against Xu Rui." Qin Hong and Xu Ming exchanged the red paper pulled out from their hands, looked at each other and said together.
"Big uncle?" Qin Bing's heart tightened slightly. He didn't know much about this uncle. All he knew was that his uncle was very good at making iron weapons, and his craftsmanship was not inferior to his grandfather. As for his strength, Qin Bing did not know.
However, in such an environment, it is absolutely impossible to be mediocre to take action on behalf of Qinjiazhuang. His strength is not weak, especially the muscles exposed in the upper body. This alone can be seen that Uncle's strength is absolutely not small.
"Finally, I'm going to fight!" Qin Hu, who was beside Qin Bing, had a pair of small eyes shining and looked a little excited.
This guy is really violent! Qin Bing glanced at Qin Hu beside him and secretly had a headache.
This world advocates martial arts, and with strong aura, these crops are both good at kung fu.
"In the first game, Qin Zheng and Xu Rui, two heroes, please enter the battle circle." Qin Hong and Xu Ming shouted.
