478 "Get up here."
Chen Jie pointed at Zhou Chu and yelled.
Zhou Chu said: "Boss, I can still hold on."
"I told you to get up here."
Chen Jie shouted angrily. Seeing that Chen Jie was really angry, Zhou Chu said to the younger brother beside him with a confused look on his face: "Hold on for a while."
Seeing this, the younger brother beside him immediately said, "It's the hall master, don't worry."
At this time, Zhou Chu climbed out of the water to the shore.
After finally climbing onto the shore, he saw Chen Jie; "Boss."
Unexpectedly, Chen Jie kicked him down with one kick, and then cursed: "Zhou Chu, you bastard, I asked you to release the flood, but you built a dam, right? There are already two villages downstream, and because you didn't release the flood, they were flooded, and more than 30 people died. Do you know that? That's 30 lives."
"grass!"
Chen Jie kicked out, but without using any internal energy, he kicked Zhou Chu hard. Zhou Chu was a little dazed, but he didn't say anything.
Wu Zhong and the old uncle who were standing by saw it, and the old uncle was so scared that he quickly stepped back a distance.
But Wu Zhong stopped Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, Jiu Si, Zhou is doing this for your own good."
"You're doing this for my own good, so you dare to change my orders without my permission?"
Chen Jie wanted to continue kicking, but was stopped by Uncle Zhong. Yes, Chen Jie, a Qi and Blood Baodan realm warrior, was stopped by Wu Zhong, a Lianrou realm warrior.
Chen Jie's chest was heaving with anger as he roared, "Follow my orders, release the flood."
"Ah, no, boss, we can't release the flood water, we can't release the flood water!"
After hearing what Chen Jie said, Zhou Chu got up from the ground, hugged Chen Jie's thigh and said, "Don't release the flood, don't release the flood!"
"Get out of my way."
Chen Jie kicked Zhou Chu to the ground again.
Zhou Chu got up again and hugged Chen Jie, saying, "Boss, even if you kill me, you can't release the flood. Below are your Chen family's ancestral tombs and the ancestral hall. They are where your Feng Shui luck lies. If you destroy the Feng Shui, there will be disaster!"
"Boss!"
"Let us hold on a little longer. The rain will soon stop! Let us hold on a little longer."
Zhou Chu hugged Chen Jie's thigh and cried.
Chen Jie stopped moving when he heard this, and at this time, the disciples of the fishing gang in the water also shouted: "Boss, let us hold on for a while, we will definitely be able to block it, we can block it!"
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie looked at the people in front of him and fell silent.
At this time, on a hillside not far away, Zhao Ya was standing there with Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San.
The water conservancy situation in front of us is almost clear at a glance.
Originally, the water should have flowed to Xiantao Village, but it was blocked by a man-made dam, so the flood could only hit the downstream villages.
At present, two villages have been flooded, and there are several villages and towns and thousands of households further downstream.
There are only a hundred households in Xiantao Village. The normal approach would be to abandon Xiantao Village and save the thousands of households below. But don't forget Xiantao Village, that is Chen Jiusi's hometown.
The hometown of such a person is not allowed to be flooded.
Because if the ancestral tomb was destroyed by a flood, it would be a catastrophe in terms of feng shui. Why would Chen Jie sacrifice himself for others?
Let alone one thousand households, even ten thousand households have nothing to do with Chen Jie.
And Xiantao Village is the existence that concerns everything to him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya looked at the scene in front of her and said, "Ah Da, if it were you, what would you choose?"
Ah Da was silent for a moment after hearing this and said, "Protect my hometown."
"Where's Er?"
Ah Er was silent and said, "I am the same as Ah Da. Even if there are 10,000 households below me, it has nothing to do with me. Our ancestral tomb cannot be lost!"
Ah San also said after hearing this: "Whoever has the ability to protect his ancestral tomb must do so by himself. If it is flooded, you can only accept your bad luck."
After hearing this, Zhao Ya didn't say anything?
She actually considered it in her heart, and her reason told her that she should protect the majority, but her emotions told her that she should protect her hometown.
This is a dilemma.
So Chen Jiusi, how are you going to choose?
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie at the foot of the mountain. She really admired some of Chen Jie's governance ideas.
She also wanted to see what kind of mentality he had when faced with such a major issue. Her master once said that human nature is most easily revealed when faced with a dilemma.
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jiusi at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, Zhou Chu was holding Chen Jie's thigh at the levee below and said, "Boss, I know I didn't follow your orders this time and made decisions on my own. I committed a big mistake. Afterwards, you can kill me or chop me up. I will do whatever you want. But I beg you not to withdraw the levee. Xiantao Village cannot be flooded!"
Chen Jie looked at Zhou Chu, and at this time the gang members in the river also looked at Chen Jie and said, "Gang leader, Xiantao Village cannot be flooded!"
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Everyone, Xiantao Village cannot be flooded. Why? Because that is my home, Chen Jiusi. My ancestral grave is there?"
"What about the downstream? Zhangjiagou, Pengjia Town, Yanglinwei, do these places deserve to be flooded? There are thousands of households there!"
Chen Jie looked at the people in the field and said, "Do they deserve to be drowned?"
After hearing this, a gang member in the water said, "Boss, I'm from Yanglinwei. I'm willing to let my home be flooded, but your home must not be flooded!"
"Yes, I'm from Xiaosuntun, Zhangjiagou. My home was flooded just now, but I don't regret it. Gang leader, please let us continue to block it. We will definitely make it through."
"I'm from Xiaosuntun too."
"I'm from Pengjia Town."
"I'm from Yanglinwei."
…
The little brothers in the water introduced themselves one by one, shouting that their homes were downstream. They were willing to let their own homes be flooded, but they would never let the ancestral graves of their leader be flooded.
Chen Jie was touched when he heard this, but his face still had an unshakable tenacity.
Chen Jie hesitated for a moment and said, "Brothers."
"I know that you are all good brothers of my fishing gang. I also know that you are blocking here to protect me. I, Chen Jiusi, am very grateful."
"I heard what you said just now. You are right. This Xiantao Village is my hometown, Chen Jiusi. In fact, not only me, Chen Jiusi, but also Chen Xiaohu, Chen Wang, Chen Heng, and Uncle Zhong all have their homes in the Xiantao Village below."
"It can be said that more than half of the top leaders of our fishing gang are from Xiantao Village."
"We are the top leaders of the fishing gang. We earn much more than you do each month, but now we are facing a flood like this. As we all know, after a flood, nothing will exist and all industries will be wiped out."
"This loss is too great. You may not be able to bear it, but we, the top leaders, must bear it because we are your leaders!"
"So today I am making a statement. For things like this where the losses are huge, our leadership must take the lead in the losses. The higher the status of my fellow fishermen, the more we should think about taking care of our brothers, instead of just thinking about lining our own pockets and putting money in our own pockets."
"Today, I, Chen Jiusi, will set an example and open the dike to release the floodwaters. I will start with Chen Jiusi!"
"Ah, Gang Leader!"
After hearing this, all the gang members present widened their eyes and shouted for the gang leader.
They were truly moved.
Chen Jie looked at Wu Zhong and said, "Uncle Zhong, I asked you to evacuate the people in Xiantao Village. Did you evacuate them?"
Chen Jie was very afraid that Uncle Zhong would not listen to him and would not evacuate the people, because it would take a lot of time just to evacuate the people, and it would be easy to miss the best time period for flood discharge.
After hearing this, Uncle Zhong said, "Everyone has been evacuated. Huzi and Erba have already reached the high ground!"
After hearing this, Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Uncle Zhong could still be relied upon.
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Okay, everyone is here, come up."
Upon hearing this, all the gang members who formed a human wall in the water fell silent. Chen Jie said, "As the gang leader, I now order you all to come up!"
"yes!"
After hearing this, all the gang members climbed out of the water to the river bank, and Chen Jie led them on the shore.
At this time, downstream, the three villages and towns of Sunjiagou, Pengjiazhen and Yanglinwei were led by the chief guards to look at their precarious embankments.
At this time, someone said, "It's bad, our dam has started to leak. If the upstream doesn't release the flood water, our three towns will be lost!"
After hearing this, the hundreds of villagers following Bao Zheng all gnashed their teeth.
"Bao Zheng, what should we do?"
Bao Zheng remained silent. At this time, a citizen said angrily: "Damn it, it's all Xiantao Village. If they hadn't forcibly blocked the dam, would we have been flooded here?"
"That's right. Xiantao Village has become more and more arrogant because they have a fishing gang leader. Why should we be flooded when there is a flood? There are thousands of households downstream of us."
"That's right, that's right, the fishing gang is bullying others by taking advantage of their power!"
Bao Zheng heard this and said, "Keep your voice down, you are risking your life."
"We, what do we want to live? Our home is almost gone, and we still want this?"
"That's right, that's right, his fishing gang is bullying others by taking advantage of their power. My house can be flooded, but Chen Jiusi's house can't be flooded. Why?!"
"Yes, why?"
Bao Zheng heard this and said, "Shut up, why? Because his name is Chen Jiusi, because he is the leader of the fishing gang, because he is a big shot that we can't afford to offend. At this time, we are the unlucky little people. Why don't you accept it? If you don't accept it, go to the gate of the fishing gang in the county and shout!"
"Why are you all so cowardly? It's no use yelling at me. Aren't we the common people unlucky these days? Which big shot would care about our lives?"
"Let me tell you, Chen Jiusi is awesome. One of his hairs is thicker than your thigh. Do you have the qualifications to challenge him?"
"You all just bark like dogs. Hurry up and grab your shovels and try your best to block the dam."
Bao Zheng shouted, and all the villagers were speechless. Yes, although they were jealous of Chen Jiusi, compared with Chen Jiusi, they were just ants.
Maybe if Chen Jiusi was standing in front of them, they wouldn't even dare to speak loudly.
At this time, Bao Zheng led everyone and started to raise the dam with shovels, but the water was about to reach the dam and it could not be stopped at all. The destruction of the dam was almost inevitable.
Bao Zheng shouted, "There is no other way. We can't stop it. Let the villagers evacuate quickly. Don't leave your homes. Saving your lives is the most important thing."
After hearing this, the villagers below immediately let out a cry of pain. The feeling of powerlessness of having their homes destroyed made them feel like the sky was about to fall.
