A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Seeing that Sun Shaoan and Lu Cheng both stood up, Tian Futang asked, "What do you two mean?"

Sun Shaoan continued, "What I want to say is that if we force the dam to be breached, there will definitely be a conflict and people will die. It's best to think of a solution."

"Then what can you do?"

"For matters like this, we must ask the commune leaders to step in. I don't believe that the commune leaders can ignore such a big thing. Even if the commune leaders don't care, the village party secretary and deputy party secretary should step in and negotiate with the village party secretaries of the villages upstream.

They can't really watch everyone in our village die of thirst, right? If that really comes to the point, it won't be too late to go to Huoba. Huoba is definitely the last resort."

Upon hearing this, Tian Futang looked Sun Shaoan up and down and said, "Shaoan, why do I feel like you are assigning tasks to our branch secretary and deputy branch secretary? How about letting you be the village branch secretary?"

Sun Shaoan quickly took a few steps back: "That's not what I meant."

Tian Futang snorted: "Since it was your idea, why don't you go and negotiate?"

Sun Shaoan waved his hands repeatedly: "That won't do. If I go there and put your village party secretary there, wouldn't I really become the party secretary? Uncle Fu Tang, you have to step in on this matter."

Tian Futang was silent for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly his expression changed: "Ah... Oh... My head feels like it has exploded."

Lu Cheng, who was standing aside, suddenly realized that Tian Futang was suffering from a strategic headache.

Whenever he encountered a problem that he couldn't solve or didn't want to solve, Tian Futang would pretend to have a headache and avoid the problem.

From this point of view, he is really incompetent as the village party secretary.

Sun Yuting, the village party secretary's military advisor, hurried over and helped Tian Futang rub his temples.

Lu Cheng immediately stood up and said, "Uncle Fu Tang, do you want me to help you take a look?"

Tian Futang quickly waved his hands to refuse: "No, no, I just have an old illness. I just need to go back and take two pills and have a rest. Don't worry, even if I die, I will make sure that the folks in Shuangshui Village have water to drink. I just have a severe headache now. I will go back and take medicine first, and you guys can discuss it later."

Having said that, Tian Futang stood up and walked outside.

After Tian Futang left, some of the villagers inside and outside the house also dispersed.

Inside the room, Tian Fugao was still a little puzzled: "Why is this cousin Fu having a headache again?"

Although Tian Fugao is young, he belongs to the same generation as Tian Futang.

Sun Shaoan laughed: "Do you really think he has a headache? He is just pretending."

"What should we do now? Should we break the dam or not?"

Sun Shaoan said without hesitation: "I am firmly against the destruction of the dam."

Lu Cheng also said: "I am also firmly opposed."

Jin Junwu on the side said, "Shaoan, Lu Cheng, why are you two so timid?"

Without waiting for Sun Shaoan to speak, Lu Cheng spoke up, "This is not a question of being brave or not. If someone dies, who will take the responsibility? If a man dies in a certain family, will you help them take care of the whole family? If two villages become enemies and people die, and the situation cannot be controlled, and the militia gets involved, how many people will die with rifles and grenades?

You can obviously use courtesy before force, you can obviously ask the leader to solve the problem, why do you have to fight to the death? Whose life is not life? "

After Lu Cheng finished speaking, Jin Junwu said nothing more.

Tian Haimin on the side continued, "I also think what Shaoan and Lu Cheng said makes sense. But now that Uncle Futang is hiding, who will go find someone to negotiate?"

Sun Shaoan glanced at the others and said, "I'll go. Lu Cheng, how about you and Haimin come with me? You are also a prestigious person in the surrounding area."

Lu Cheng nodded: "No problem, I'll go with you."

Jin Junwu spoke again: "What should you do if you can't get water?"

"Wait for me for a day, and then we'll talk about it when I come back. If you don't get the water back before midnight tomorrow night, it won't be too late to open the dam again."

Lu Cheng interrupted immediately: "One day is not enough. We have to go to the three villages upstream and the commune, which is dozens of miles round trip. Add to that the time for negotiations. Even if we have a tractor, it will be too late. How about this, we set out early tomorrow morning and come back the day after tomorrow evening. If we still can't get water when we come back, it won't be too late to open the dam again."

Sun Shaoan nodded: "This is safer."

Tian Fugao then spoke up again: "Shaoan, Lu Cheng, several villages now treasure water very much. They also said that if anyone goes to ask for water, they will be beaten out. What will you do if you get beaten?"

Sun Yuting was also a little worried: "That's right, you have to pay attention to safety."

After discussing it, they went out together.

Lu Cheng left the brigade headquarters and turned around to go to the home of the village party secretary Tian Futang.

In the original drama, Sun Shaoan finally reached an agreement with several villages upstream, but Tian Futang, instigated by Jin Junshan, sent out villagers' militia in several groups to break open the dam upstream.

As a result, the water flow was so strong that it directly broke the dam.

Even more unfortunate was that Jin Junbin from Jinjia Bay happened to be defecating by the river and was unfortunately washed away by the water and drowned.

In the end, it was Sun Shaoan who ran around and secured the title of martyr for Jin Junbin, which calmed the Jin family down.

When Lu Cheng arrived at Tian Futang's yard, he saw Tian Futang's wife Aunt Liu hanging clothes in the yard, so he asked, "Aunt Liu, is Uncle Futang home?"

"Inside the house, come in."

As soon as Lu Cheng walked into the room, he saw Tian Futang holding his head and pretending to groan.

Lu Cheng smiled slightly: "Uncle Fu Tang, there is no one else here, you can listen to your headache first."

"What are you talking about, kid? How can you just say it doesn't hurt and it won't hurt?"

Lu Cheng no longer argued about this issue: "Uncle Fu Tang, I'm here to tell you something important, about you and Uncle Fu Jun."

When Tian Futang heard about his brother, he didn't care about pretending anymore and asked immediately, "What happened to my brother Fujun?"

Lu Cheng said slowly, "Uncle Fu Tang, Uncle Fu Jun's current situation in the county, I'm sure you know, it's not optimistic. If something happens in our village again, it's inevitable that some villains will use this to attack Uncle Fu Jun."

"What could possibly happen in our village?"

"What else could it be? Of course it's about Huoba."

"Aren't you and Shao Anwa ready to go for the negotiations? Why would you break the dam? No way."

"Really? Uncle Fu Tang, if my guess is correct, Deputy Party Secretary Jin Junshan might come to you and say something to you. For example, if Shaoan and I can accomplish this task and get water for Shuangshui Village, your prestige as Party Secretary Tian will not be as high as that of Sun Shaoan, and Sun Shaoan will become a Party Secretary who is not a Party Secretary. What will you think after hearing these words?"

"What do you think? What else can I think?"

Lu Cheng smiled slightly: "Uncle Fu Tang, you know Shaoan's character. He has never thought of taking your position. I don't even need to say anything. I just want to treat patients and live my own life. Shaoan and I are not the ones who expect you to make mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Tian Futang fell silent.

"If we really go to Huoba and someone dies, the first person the higher-ups will hold accountable is you, Uncle Futang. Even if no one dies, such a dangerous act as Huoba will also draw the dissatisfaction of the commune leaders.

If something happens to you, Uncle Fu Tang, it might really implicate Uncle Fu Jun. There may not be many people who help others in times of need, but there must be many people who take advantage of others' misfortunes. Besides, it has been dry for so long, maybe it will rain in two days.

Uncle Futang, I was just talking casually. I have children to take care of at home, so I'm leaving now."

After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and went home without looking at Tian Futang.

As soon as Lu Cheng left, Jin Junshan came. When Tian Futang saw Jin Junshan, he was stunned.

But when he heard what Jin Junshan said, Tian Fujun was even more surprised. It was the same as what Lu Cheng said. Jin Junshan really encouraged him to go to Huoba to prevent Sun Shaoan from stealing the limelight.

After listening to Jin Junshan's words, Tian Futang coughed and said, "Junshan, I just came back and thought about it carefully. We definitely can't open the dam. Since Shaoan and the others want to negotiate, let them go. We should use courtesy first and then force."

"But if we can get this done for them..."

"It's done, it's a good thing. I, Tian Futang, am not so tolerant. It's impossible to open the dam. I have to consider the safety of all the villagers. If their negotiations are unsuccessful, I will go to the leaders of the commune. If the leaders of the commune don't care, I will go to the leaders of the county. I don't believe that the leaders above can watch the people of Shuangshui Village die of thirst?"

Jin Junshan was suddenly speechless and turned around and left the Tian family.

Tian Futang watched Jin Junshan leave and snorted, "I almost fell for your trick."
