A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

The next morning, after Lu Cheng had breakfast, he got on his bike and went out early.

Tian Haimin was driving a tractor with Sun Shaoan, and they were already waiting at the entrance of the village. When they saw Lu Cheng coming over on a bicycle, Sun Shaoan was a little puzzled: "We are driving a tractor here, why are you riding a bicycle?"

"If things don't go well today, I will ride my bike back to the village when it's almost night and appease the villagers to prevent them from getting impulsive and destroying the dam."

"Alright, this is more stable. Lu Cheng, I find your ability to think three steps ahead is really amazing."

After lifting the bicycles onto the tractor's bed, Lu Cheng and Sun Shaoan rode the tractor and arrived at the first village upstream, Guanzi Village.

The tractor had a minor problem in the middle and Tian Haimin took a long time to fix it.

When we arrived outside of Guanzi Village, we saw men, women, and children from Guanzi Village carrying water outside the village.

Lu Cheng and Sun Shaoan jumped out of the car. Tian Haimin casually took a hoe from the car and handed it to Sun Shaoan: "Take the weapon with you, otherwise you will suffer losses in a fight."

Lu Cheng patted Tian Haimin on the shoulder and said, "Alright, we are here to negotiate, not to fight. Besides, if a fight really breaks out, it will be just the three of us facing an entire village. Even if we have a hoe, even if we have Guan Erye's sword, it won't be of much use."

Tian Haimin threw the hoe back into the car in disappointment, then followed Sun Shaoan and Lu Cheng into the crowd.

Lu Cheng and Sun Shaoan are both famous people in the surrounding area. Naturally, the villagers of Guanzi Village all know them and will greet them when they see them.

Lu Cheng and the other two walked forward along the crowd. Before they had taken a few steps, they saw Sun Shaoan's brother-in-law Wang Manyin, who was a villager of Guanzi Village.

"Shaoan, what are you doing here?"

Sun Shaoan casually replied: "Let's go find your Party Secretary Wang and ask him to let us go."

Wang Manyin quickly stepped forward and grabbed Sun Shaoan: "Shaoan, are you going to die? Our Party Secretary Wang said that no matter who asks us to release the water, we should just fight them out."

Sun Shaoan ignored Wang Manyin and walked up to Secretary Wang when he saw him. "Secretary Wang, can you chat for a minute?"

As soon as Secretary Wang saw Sun Shaoan and his group, he knew their purpose and didn't want to pay attention to them: "Can't you see we are busy working?"

Lu Cheng took out a cigarette and handed it over: "Secretary Wang, even if you are busy, you always have time to smoke a cigarette, right?"

Seeing that it was Lu Cheng who handed him the cigarette, Secretary Wang of course had to give him face. He put down the carrying pole on his shoulder and took the cigarette.

As Lu Cheng's reputation spread, villagers from several nearby villages no longer go to Shigejie Commune for medical treatment. Instead, they come to Lu Cheng's clinic in Shuangshui Village for all their illnesses, big or small.

Especially in the past six months, Lu Cheng's medical skills have been upgraded to level three. He is also proficient in traditional Chinese medicine and has cured many difficult and complicated diseases that could not be cured in many county hospitals.

After all, looking at the entire Yuanxi County, there are really few people who can compare with Lu Cheng in terms of traditional Chinese medicine.

There are solutions in traditional Chinese medicine for many difficult and complicated diseases that cannot be cured by Western medicine.

Nowadays, Lu Cheng’s reputation as a “miracle doctor” has begun to spread in Shigejie Commune.

Several people walked to the side of the road and squatted down.

Sun Shaoan said, "Secretary Wang, I'm sure you know the purpose of our visit this time. Let's not talk about other things. Last year, when your Guanzi Village was short of fertilizers, it was our Shuangshui Village that sent you some. Have you forgotten this?"

Secretary Wang said nothing and took a puff of his cigarette.

Lu Cheng spoke up: "Secretary Wang, our Shuangshui Village is adjacent to your Guanzi Village. Girls from your village have married into our village, and girls from our village have married into your village. There is no need to explain this relationship.

The drought is so severe now that the crops in our Shuangshui Village can't hold out for a few days. There's not much water left in the village's wells. If this continues, this year's crops will fail, and many people in our Shuangshui Village will starve to death by the end of the year. Can you really bear to see us like this?"

Secretary Wang sighed, "What else can we do? The water upstream is blocked, and not much water flows to our Guanzi Village. If we give the water to you, our crops will die of drought."

Sun Shaoan was about to say something, but Lu Cheng continued, "Of course we know the situation, and we also know that this is a difficult matter. Secretary Wang, how about this? We go to Shigejie Village upstream and ask them to open the dam and release water. As long as the water can flow to your Guanzi Village, you can also release water to us. How about that?"

"This..." Secretary Wang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "As long as the higher-ups are willing to give you some relief, we can also give you some relief."

"It's a deal, Secretary Wang, you can't go back on your word. If water is released upstream and reaches your area, you won't release it. We in Shuangshui Village are desperate, but we can do anything."

"Okay! I'll discuss this with everyone right away."

Secretary Wang was also very decisive. He immediately stood on the road and clapped his hands, gathered all the villagers together, and told them what had just happened.

The villagers were reluctant at first, but when they heard that several people were willing to persuade the upstream villages to release water, they finally relaxed.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng and the other two rushed to Shigejie Village upstream without stopping.

In the original drama, it was the Hammer King who hit his forehead with a few bricks, causing his head to bleed, which intimidated the villagers of Can Village and made them agree to release the water. Before leaving, Sun Shaoan even knocked down their cow, showing the strength of the Hammer King.

Now, thanks to Lu Cheng's face, things went much more smoothly and Sun Shaoan's forehead was spared.

By the time Sun Shaoan and the other two arrived at Shigejie Village, the people there had already received the news, and all the young and strong men in the village were waiting there.

Seeing the three people coming, many people have recognized Sun Shaoan.

Shigejie Village is adjacent to Shigejie Commune, which is how the commune got its name.

Compared with other villages, villagers in Shigejie Village would go directly to the commune clinic when they were sick, and they knew less about Lu Cheng, the miracle doctor.

Of course, there are some villagers who have been cured of difficult and complicated diseases by Lu Cheng. They recognized Lu Cheng and introduced him to people around them.

As soon as Sun Shaoan and Lu Cheng jumped out of the car, they were surrounded by Shigejie militia.

Lu Cheng quickly shouted to Tian Haimin who was driving the tractor: "Don't worry, just wait here and don't go anywhere."

In the original drama, when Tian Haimin saw Sun Shaoan being detained, he panicked and drove his tractor back to Shuangshui Village to inform them of the situation, which also caused a riot in Shuangshui Village.

Tian Haimin was obedient. He drove the tractor to the side of the road and turned off the engine.

Sun Shaoan and Lu Cheng were surrounded by militiamen and entered the house. A middle-aged man with a short flat head stood up and said, "I heard that your Shuangshui Village has produced two talented people, Sun Shaoan and Lu Cheng. I didn't have the chance to meet them before, but I finally met them today. Come, let me toast you with a bowl of wine first."

Several large white porcelain bowls were placed on the table, each filled with half a bowl of wine, and there were also a few bottles of the cheapest sorghum wine on the side.

Sun Shaoan didn't drink, he sat down and said, "I want to see your Secretary Zhao Zhigao."

The middle-aged man said, "Our Secretary Zhao has gone to the commune for a meeting. I am Zhao Zhiyuan, Zhao Zhigao's brother."

"Since Secretary Zhao is not here, we will wait here. As you know, we are here for the water issue."

"Wine, wine, water. If you want to talk about water, drink first."

Lu Cheng stood up and said, "As long as you give me some water, I will drink this wine, no matter how much it is."

Sun Shaoan stood up quickly: "Lu Cheng, let me do it."

Lu Cheng stopped Sun Shaoan: "We are all men from the Loess Plateau, and we are as good as each other. You can drink wine, but we have to make a promise first. As long as we drink wine, the water will be released."

"You are the famous doctor in Shuangshui Village, right? It's not impossible to let him go, but the wine on the table..."

Lu Cheng stepped forward and held up the wine bowl: "This first bowl of wine, on behalf of the Party Secretary Tian Futang of Shuangshui Village, is toasted to the Party Secretary Zhao Zhigao of Shigejie Village."

After saying that, Lu Cheng picked up the wine bowl and drank it in big gulps.

Of course, except for the first two sips of wine that went into the stomach, the rest of the wine went into the storage space.

After putting down the wine bowl, Lu Cheng picked up the second bowl of wine: "This second bowl of wine, on behalf of the 273 households and 1085 people in Shuangshui Village, I toast to all the villagers of Shigejie Village."

After saying that, Lu Cheng drank the second bowl of wine without hesitation.

Then, the third bowl of wine arrived: "The third bowl of wine, on behalf of the crops in Shuangshui Village that are about to die of drought, I toast to you!"

After three bowls of wine, Zhao Zhiyuan on the opposite side was a little intimidated, but he still waved his hand: "Why don't you fill it up for me."

Lu Cheng accepted everyone who came and was about to pick up the fourth bowl of wine, but a middle-aged man squeezed in from outside.

When the people in the room saw this person, they all greeted him quickly: "Secretary."
