Chapter 32 Drinking water problem

The solution to the water problem in the village finally came to fruition. Mu Qiangguo and Shen Xi also knew that Xia Hong was really a supernatural person or a water-type supernatural power. They just didn’t understand whether Xia Hong was too brainless or too heroic. He actually agreed to the request of village chief Xia Xuansheng. He promised that villagers who have no water to eat can go directly to his house to get water for free in the future, but each household has a limited amount. After all, the abilities of supernatural beings are not endless. It will definitely be unbearable to put more people.

It may be too troublesome to expose Mocheng's ice-type abilities. The old lady Mu also took her youngest son Mu Jianguo to fetch water a few times, but every time she came back, her face was not very good-looking. Mu Jianguo said it was Xia Hong's. Uncle Lu Zhuang spoke too harshly. Later, neither of them wanted to go to Xia Hong's house to get water. Later, the family members felt that their own strength would be exposed sooner or later, so they stopped going. As for when the villagers If they find something abnormal in their home, then it's not their concern.

A few days later, the sound of cars began to be heard frequently in the village during the day. Many young people in Bazi Village who went out to work came back. If they couldn’t come back, they didn’t know if they died in an accident outside. It’s really happy for several families. What's more troublesome is that some young people bring back a lot of strangers, whether they are relatives or friends. Anyway, the peace in Bazi Village is gone, and the village is getting more and more lively. If it weren't for Xia Hong, a stranger If someone with ability comes out, there may be some troubles. Fortunately, there are no people with abilities among the strangers who came.

Recently, Mrs. Lian Mu has always found that there are strangers hanging out outside her house. She can't help nagging at the dinner table many times during meals. She also holds the two children in the family and refuses to let them go outside the house. For fun, the old lady Mu is very close to Mu Xibao now, and always feels that he is like her own grandson. The two children who make delicious food are not biased, and they are treated equally, half of each.

Mu Xibao also began to like grandma, and he liked the little cat even more, because the old lady could conjure up snacks from time to time, just like the two big masters, the little master went into her stomach when she couldn't eat it.

Bazi Village is actually a ditch, with a high slope in front and a rocky mountain wall in the back. The houses of the villagers are all built under the ditch. It may be because there are too few people. There are not many mutant animals attracted around, and they can be killed. They were all killed by Xia Hong with supernatural powers. In fact, the people in the village have never experienced the cruelty of the outside world at all. Keep it tight, except for relatives who may come out to help, other people who don't know will naturally ignore it. Due to Xia Hong's existence, most of the strangers who came to seek refuge are still safe, and they may be with him when he escaped. There are other reasons for the food they bring, but if they run out of food and water, and no one dares to hunt mutant animals, then they don’t know what will happen.

Majia Town is no longer safe, and many people in the town have started to run to the countryside. Those who have friends and relatives in Bazi Village have dragged their families to the village one after another to ask Xia Xuansheng to take them in. No one else asked for food. , I just want to find a place to live, but there are no vacant houses in the village, so a lot of cars are parked on the road outside, and there are many places where the sun can be shaded, and a lot of tents are stationed, some of which have never been seen in the village People in the market watched it lively for a while.

The number of strangers in the village is increasing, and finally an unexpected event happened outside the village. A family living in the outskirts of the village was robbed, and all the food of the family was robbed. It is not known who snatched the sap that was hit by someone. It seems that the person who wants to snatch it has been planned for a long time, and it may be a familiar acquaintance.

The village head, Xia Xuan, started to feel something was wrong. He called Xia Hong's nephew over to discuss it. He planned to hold a meeting with the villagers when the sun was not too hot in the afternoon. He and Shen Xi went to Mu Qiang's country. Jianguo was left at home to look after the house. Now that Mocheng has ice abilities, the two of them are not worried that something will happen at home.

The meeting was held at the village chief's house, and each family also sent a representative. After all, there were too many outsiders in the village, and the food at the house was left unattended when they all went out.

At the meeting, Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo finally met Xia Hong. The old lady Mu said that Xia Hong was eight years younger than Mu Qiangguo, the age gap was a bit big, and they didn't play together much when they were young, so Mu Qiangguo naturally didn't remember much. , now Xia Hong has grown into a handsome boy in his twenties, with a warm smile on his face, and he is kind to the villagers. He looks like an honest boy who respects the old and loves the young.

When all the people arrived, the village chief Xia Xuansheng began to speak on it, saying: "Now there are more and more outsiders in the village, and everyone is living in a state of uneasiness. The road outside the village was closed for a while."

The closure of the village is really an explosive news. The villagers immediately made a fuss, some agreed, some completely disagreed, and those who disagreed basically had children at home who had not come back.

Shen Xi felt that the closure of the village might be implemented before, but now that there are so many strangers in the village, it is completely unrealistic to close the village. The most important thing is that if a large number of mutated animals suddenly attack, the road will be blocked , the people in the village will not be able to escape if they want to escape at that time, and they will completely close their escape route. After all, even the birds have mutated a lot now. The villagers said that they could hide in their own houses and in the tunnels they dug, but the mutant birds with supernatural powers are coming, and you can't hide for a lifetime, right?

Perhaps the village chief Xia Xuansheng and Xia Hong felt that the village would be safer if fewer outsiders blocked the road, but there were also many relative dangers.

Mu Qiangguo also disagreed, and when he told Shen Xi's thoughts, the people in the village were smart and naturally listened to them. In the end, the two sides disagreed, and the matter of closing the village still did not come to a conclusion.

As soon as the meeting ended, Mu Qiangguo took Shen Xi and walked home slowly.

The weather is getting hotter day by day. Recently, the wells dug by each family in the village are completely out of water. The mouths of strangers wandering around in the village are so dry that their skin peels off. The villagers are fine and can go to Xia Hong's house to fetch water for food.

Originally, the wells of each villager’s family could still fetch some water, so although the households who went to Xia Hong’s house to fetch water each time did not get much water, it was enough. Xia Hong can still support it. Now every family in the village The households went to fetch water from him almost every day, and every family wanted to ask for more than the originally prescribed amount under the card of family affection. Xia Hong's ability could not supply that much water at all. Poked a hornet's nest.
