Chapter 781: Chapter 213 What! How could Chen Jiusi possibly (10,000 words asking for subscriptions)_4
Upon disaster striking the Gang Leader, they were indeed beyond redemption.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chu gritted his teeth and said, “The rest of you, follow me and jump.”
After saying this, he carried two sacks filled with stones and sand, and leaped into the water. The strength of his Energy Transformation allowed him to root himself firmly in place upon hitting the water, and then he blocked the breach again with the sacks.
Seeing the Hall Master jump in personally, what could the others say? They all leaped into the water and blocked the breach as well.
And so, this human wall was formed again.
Seeing this scene, Wu Zhong frowned, but Uncle Zhong said, “Right, that’s it. Hold on, Master Zhou. We, the Chen family, must not let our feng shui be destroyed… must not be destroyed…”
At that moment, Zhou Chu, enduring the floodwaters, gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Just then, a group of dark figures appeared in the distance; someone shouted, “Hall Master, it seems to be Lord Chen Wang’s men arriving.”
Zhou Chu’s eyes lit up and he exclaimed, “Everyone, put in more effort, Chen Wang’s people are here, our help has arrived!”
Crying out , the group quickly approached. Everyone was stunned for a moment and then saw that the leader was Chen Jie.
Seeing Chen Jie, the guild members in the water felt reinvigorated, each gritting their teeth to endure.
Seeing Chen Jie personally arriving, Uncle Zhong immediately had two youths help him approach Chen Jie.
“Jiu Si, you’ve arrived. Don’t worry, with Uncle here, the Chen family’s feng shui will not be messed with. If anyone dares touch our family’s feng shui, this old man will fight them to death!”
Uncle Zhong spoke righteously.
Chen Jie glanced at him without a word, instead shouting sternly, “Where is Zhou Chu, where is Zhou Chu?”
Hearing this, Wu Zhong said, “In the water, he is in the water!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie saw Zhou Chu standing in the water. Zhou Chu, enduring the flood, grinned when he saw Chen Jie and said, “Gang Leader, you’ve returned.”
Chen Jie’s face darkened upon seeing Zhou Chu .
Chen Jie shouted furiously at Zhou Chu.
Zhou Chu replied, “Gang Leader, I can still hold.”
“I fucking told you to get up here.”
Chen Jie roared in anger. Seeing that Chen Jie was truly angry, Zhou Chu, a bit bewildered, said to the disciple next to him, “Hold on for a bit.”
The disciple by his side responded immediately, “Yes, Hall Master, don’t worry.”
Zhou Chu then climbed out of the water towards the shore.
Barely making it ashore and seeing Chen Jie, he said, “Gang Leader.”
Unexpectedly, Chen Jie kicked him down immediately and furiously scolded, “Zhou Chu, you son of a bitch, I told you to release the floodwaters, but you fucking built a dam instead. Downstream, two villages have already been submerged because you didn’t release the water, killing more than thirty people; do you understand that? Those are thirty lives.”
Chen Jie kicked Zhou Chu fiercely, though without using Gang Qi, hitting Zhou Chu hard; Zhou Chu was dazed but did not speak.
Both Wu Zhong and Uncle Zhong saw this, with Uncle Zhong hastily retreating a distance in fright.
But Wu Zhong stopped Chen Jie and said, “Jiu Si, Jiu Si, Ah Zhou was just trying to help you.”
“Help me? He dares to alter my orders because he is trying to help me?”
Chen Jie tried to continue kicking but was stopped by Uncle Zhong. Yes, Chen Jie, a Qi Blood Holding Core warrior, was stopped by Wu Zhong, a Refining Body Martial Artist.
Chen Jie, seething with chest heaving, roared, “Obey my order, release the floodwaters.”
“Ah, no, Gang Leader, we can’t release the floodwaters!”
Hearing Chen Jie’s words, Zhou Chu immediately climbed up from the ground and clung to Chen Jie’s leg, saying, “We can’t release the floodwaters!”
Chen Jie once again kicked Zhou Chu to the ground.
Yet Zhou Chu climbed up again and clung to Chen Jie, saying, “Gang Leader, even if you kill me, we can’t release the floodwaters. Below us lies the Chen family’s ancestral graves and the hall, the locus of your geomantic fortune. If it is destroyed, there will be disaster!”
“Let us hold on for a bit longer, the rain is about to stop! Just a bit longer.”
Zhou Chu pleaded while clinging to Chen Jie’s leg.
Chen Jie paused at these words, and at that moment, the Fishing Guild Disciples in the water also shouted, “Gang Leader, let us hold on a bit longer, we can surely hold it, we can!”
In an instant, all eyes turned towards Chen Jie.
Chen Jie gazed at the crowd before him in silence.
At that moment, not far away, on a hillside, Zhao Ya stood with Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San.
The hydrological situation was almost obvious at a glance.
Originally, the water should have flowed toward Xiantao Village, but it was blocked by an artificially constructed dam, forcing the floodwaters to lash out at downstream villages.
Currently, two villages had already been submerged, and more downstream, several villages and towns were home to thousands of households.
While Xiantao Village only housed a little more than a hundred households, the logical course of action would be to sacrifice Xiantao Village to save the thousands of households downstream. But do not forget that Xiantao Village is Chen Jiusi’s hometown.
The hometown of such a person could not be allowed to be flooded.
Because if the ancestral graves were washed away by the flood, it would be considered a major disaster in geomantic terms, and why should Chen Jie sacrifice for others?
Below, even a thousand households, let alone ten thousand, had nothing to do with Chen Jie.
Xiantao Village was everything to him.
Thinking this, Zhao Ya looked at the scene before her and asked, “Ah Da, if it were you, how would you choose?”
Ah Da paused for a moment and said, “Protect my own hometown.”
“And what about you, Ah Er?”
Ah Er paused and then said, “I’m with Ah Da, even if there are ten thousand households below, they have nothing to do with me. Our ancestral grave cannot be harmed!” Updates are released by ⓝovelFire.net
