In spring, the grass was long and the birds were flying.
On both sides of a ditch, a wide ridge was full of short weeds. At this moment, on both sides of the ridge stood more than ten people, fighting with their bare hands.
"Stop!" A loud shout came from afar.
A large group of people was running over. The one shouting was the skinny man running at the front. However, the group of people had already started fighting, so no one stopped. The thin man rushed into the crowd in a few steps. He held a long spear in his hand. With a thrust and a flick, a person was sent flying.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight big men were sent flying. The seven or eight big men immediately got up.
"Was it your Li Jia Village's people who injured Big Monkey?" The skinny man, Teng Yongxiang, who was the Teng Jia Village's great spear master, scolded.
"Master Teng, we were pouring water into the fields. What right do you Teng Jia Village people have to block the water gap in our fields?" The Li Jia Village man, who still had wounds on his body, shouted angrily.
At this time, the group of people from Teng Jia Village had already arrived.
A woman from Teng Jia Village immediately cursed, "You heartless son of a b * tch. Since spring, the heavens have never rained. Your fields lack water, but our fields don't? It's not easy to get a flood. What? The water is used by your Li Jia Village people, but our fields don't need water? "
At this time, the four year old Teng Qingshan easily squeezed through the crowd to the front.
"Fighting for water?" Teng Qingshan heard this and understood the reason.
In his previous life, Teng Qingshan had never done farm work, so there were many things he didn't know. However, for wheat to grow, it needed water. This was common knowledge that Teng Qingshan still knew. Without enough water, the harvest would be bad.
"Although they fought, no one died, and no weapons were used." Teng Qing Shan's gaze swept across the field and found that there were some shovels and other tools in the field. However, when the two sides fought in the manor, they only relied on their fists and feet to fight. Although some people were injured and bleeding, no one died.
Teng Qingshan thought for a moment and understood.
"If someone from Teng Jia Village died, the men of Teng Jia Village would probably kill them. They were only fighting for water now. That was fine. If someone dies, the two villages will be in big trouble. "At this moment, a large group of people rushed over from another direction.
"Qingshan, don't run around." At this moment, Cousin 'Teng Qinghu' squeezed to the front and immediately grabbed Teng Qingshan. "It's very chaotic here. You're just a kid. If you get touched, you'll be injured. Be careful. "
"Mm." Teng Qingshan smiled at his cousin.
"Hey, the people from Li Jia Village are here too." Teng Qinghu also looked into the distance.
"Teng Yongxiang!" A loud shout rang out, and a muscular bearded man ran over with large strides.
"Master." The clansmen of Li Jia Village immediately stepped aside.
Teng Yongxiang was the spear master of the entire Teng Jia Village, and the muscular bearded man 'Li Liang' should be the instructor of Li Jia Village.
"Are you alright?" The muscular bearded man looked around, and the people of Li Jia Village immediately whispered to him.
"Li Liang!" Teng Yongxiang's cold gaze swept over. "You should know that it doesn't rain. Your fields need water, and so do ours! But there's only so much water. What do you think we should do? " The people immediately closed the head of the ditch.
This way, when the water level in the main road receded, the water in the ditch would not flow backwards. However, there was only so much water. How could they divide it?
"What should we do?" The muscular bearded man 'Li Liang' held an iron spear and sneered. "Simple. Let's fight. If I win, the Li Jia Village will use the water. If you win, the Teng Jia Village will use the water first. How about it? Do you dare to compete? "
As he spoke, Li Liang stuck the iron spear into the ground.
Teng Yongxiang squinted his eyes.
"Looks like First Uncle isn't stronger than the big-bearded Li Liang." Teng Qingshan speculated when he saw this.
"Li Liang." Teng Yongxiang sneered. "The water in the ditch is very important. I'm afraid you don't have the authority to bet with it. "
The Big Bearded Li Liang was stunned.
The water was related to the grain harvest, so he didn't have the authority to bet with it.
"If you want to compete with me, we can bet with other things. Today, we are talking about what to do with the water. If you are still that pig-headed, you should go to the side and wait for your chief to come. "Teng Yongxiang was very calm. At this moment, the crowd of Li Jia Village opened a path.
An old man with long hair and beard walked over in big strides.
"Chief Li." Teng Yongxiang cupped his hands.
"Yongxiang, where's Old Man Teng?" The old man said casually.
"Chief will be here soon." Teng Yongxiang said.
Teng Qingshan immediately understood that this old man who looked like a fierce Zhang Fei should be the chief of Li Jia Village.
"Haha … …" Before the person arrived, a hearty laughter sounded.
"Grandfather." Teng Qingshan immediately turned his head.
A stocky old man walked over in big strides. It was the chief of Teng Jia Village, Teng Yunlong. Beside Teng Yunlong was a man holding an iron spear. It was Teng Qingshan's father, Teng Yongfan. Teng Yunlong walked to the front and said loudly, "Li Huojun, you should know about this matter. Tell me, how do you want to solve it?"
"Teng Yunlong, you are really straightforward." The chief of Li Jia Village, Li Huojun, laughed loudly. "Old rules!"
"Group fight or one on one!" Teng Yunlong said.
"What group fight? One on one? " Teng Qingshan asked his cousin, Teng Qinghu, in a low voice. Teng Qinghu said softly, "Qingshan, when two villages have a dispute, they will usually use force to determine the winner. Group fight means that each village sends out ten strong men to fight without using any weapons. When one side's men and horses are knocked down and unable to get up, the other side wins. Group fight is usually a bit more desperate, and there may be deaths. As for one on one, even if I don't say it, you should understand. "
Teng Qingshan nodded slightly.
The chief of Li Jia Village thought for a while and said with a smile, "How about this, one on one. We will compete for three rounds. There are 24 hours in a day. If one wins, the winning side can use water to their heart's content for eight hours! If two wins, the winning side can use water for eight hours. If all three wins, the winning side can use water to their heart's content. The losing side is not allowed to use water! "
Teng Yunlong thought for a while.
"That's fine." Teng Yunlong nodded in agreement.
The two chiefs nodded, and the matter was settled.
"This place is too small. Let's go to the Blood Sand Slope." Teng Yunlong said.
"Okay." Li Huojun also nodded.
Immediately, under the leadership of the two chiefs, the two clans set off towards the Blood Sand Slope.
"Qingshan, you actually came here." Yuan Lan picked up Teng Qingshan and scolded angrily, "This place is so messy. I thought you were in the village, but you are here! Qinghu, you brought your brother here, right? How old is your brother? He doesn't know any better. But you should be more sensible now. You actually brought your brother here. "
Teng Qinghu lowered his head after being scolded.
Teng Qingshan obediently lowered his head and listened to his mother's scolding.
"A Lan." At this time, his father, Teng Yongfan, walked over and said, "Okay, stop talking about the children. Let's go to the Blood Sand Slope together." With this, Teng Yongfan picked up Teng Qingshan and said, "My good son, you have to watch this competition carefully. When you grow up, you have to become a good man. If you can be as powerful as your cousin, haha, I, your father, will laugh in my sleep."
His cousin, Teng Qinghu, was able to lift 300 Jin at the age of nine. He was definitely talented, and many people believed that he would become the number one hero of Teng Jia Village in the future. It was understandable that a father had such expectations for his son.
"Catch up to cousin?" Teng Qingshan thought for a while but didn't say anything.
*****
The Blood Sand Slope was a barren open space. At this time, nearly a thousand people gathered here.
"This circle is about five Zhang long! Every time the heroes of Teng Jia Village and Li Jia Village enter the competition empty-handed. When the time comes, whoever is knocked down can't get up. Or if they are knocked out of the circle, they lose. The other side wins. "A silver-haired old man with a walking stick said loudly.
The two chiefs looked at each other.
"For every victory, you can use water for eight hours." The silver-haired old man said loudly, "Now, please write down the order of the three people you will send."
"When the time comes, the first person on the list will compete with the first, the second will compete with the second, and the third will compete with the third!" The silver-haired old man was full of energy.
After listening to the rules, Teng Qingshan couldn't help but secretly nod.
This method also prevented the "Tian Ji's Horse Race" from happening. The other side didn't know the order of the other side's people, so they naturally couldn't make a plan.
"We are ready." Teng Yunlong smiled and held a piece of red paper in his hand.
"We are also ready." Li Huojun also held a piece of red paper.
The silver-haired old man with the walking stick took the two pieces of red paper and began to read, "The order of the Teng Jia Village is Teng Yonglei, Teng Yongfan, and Teng Yongxiang! The order of the Li Jia Village is Li Wutian, Li Liang, and Li Jinfu! "
Teng Yonglei against Li Wutian.
Teng Yongfan against Li Liang.
Teng Yongxiang against Li Jinfu.
"Li Jinfu?" Many people from the Teng Jia Village were puzzled.
It should be known that Li Liang and Li Wutian were both from the "Wu" generation. The reason why Li Liang wasn't named "Li Wuliang" was because "Wuliang" sounded like "heartless", so the elders in the family named him "Li Liang." As for Li Jinfu, it was obvious that he was one generation lower than Li Wutian and Li Liang.
"Li Jinfu should only be a teenager this year." The people of the Teng Jia Village began to discuss. "He's actually going to fight."
"Father is also going to fight?" Teng Qingshan heard this and couldn't help but turn his head to look.
