Chapter 550 Magical Water

Because this was the first time that McLee killed someone. He actually killed them in public without even giving the two people a chance to explain.

If this happened to other villagers, then in the next moment, without the order of the village chief, countless villagers would flock to the ground and put the murderer on the ground and hand it over to the village chief. However, the one who killed the person was not ordinary people, but the great benefactor of the entire Meteor Village, the great charity McLee.[]

Meteor Village has been cut off from water ten years ago. Due to some unknown reason, the river channel was dry and the well water dried up. At that time, Meteor Village was too remote and could not rely on manpower to obtain water. All the rivers around were dry and there was no drop of water left. The earth was dry and the crops died one after another.

It can be said that at that time, Meteor Village was almost in a desperate situation of life and death. No matter which family in the village, whether it is poor or expensive, lived in panic, and people were panic all day long.

Later, if it weren't for McLean, a miner who lives in mining, who stood up and was willing to find new water sources for the villagers to leave the village, Meteor Village would probably have disappeared, let alone maintained it to such a good level now.

At first, when McLee brought back two buckets of water for the first time, everyone thought McLee bought it from a small town north of Meteor Village, and did not believe that this was the water source found in the mountains. Because according to the villagers who returned from the small town, their city did not have any water cut off, and the water sources in the rivers and deep wells were very sufficient, so they could pay for it.

But when many villagers who thought so walked together, left the village, trying to use themselves as evidence to confirm their guesses, they found that there was indeed a small town north of the village, but it was too far from the village. Not to mention them, no matter how good McLee had physical strength or fast footprints, it was impossible to reach that small town on foot.

Because there are two mountains separated by the village and the small town. If there is not a week or so, you will never be able to get there. Every time McLee goes out to bring water back to the village, it takes only three days to come back. This shows that the speculations of these people are not true.

So, all the villagers of Meteor Village completely believed McLee's words. He did find a new source of water in the deep mountains by himself.

But when there is water, new problems arise. McLee only goes out once a month, but only brings back two buckets of water every month. The total number of villagers in Meteor Village is at least one or two hundred. It is a bit unrealistic to rely on these two buckets of water to support everyone in the village for a whole month.

This speculation was also the same concern that the village chief at that time and all other villagers were in the same mood.

"It's okay. You don't have to worry about this at all. Two buckets of water are enough for the village to support one month. We actually only need one bucket of water for these two buckets of water. The other bucket can be used to take care of crops and deal with some accidents."

When McLee brought the bucket back for the first time, he made such an answer. After saying this, his hearty laughter immediately echoed everywhere. When the villagers heard this, they all looked surprised and doubted.

At this moment, McLee seemed to have noticed the villagers' disbelief. He smiled slightly, took out a wooden scoop from the basket behind him, and then took out a small wooden cylindrical cup from his backpack on his waist. He carefully poured a cup and placed it in front of everyone. Then, he asked loudly: "I want to ask everyone, who among you usually has the best alcohol content and the largest appetite?"

When the villagers heard this, they looked at me, and I looked at you, and they had no idea what McLean said meant. They whispered and talked, but no one stepped forward.

Seeing this, McLee smiled again, and was not angry, nor did he care about the villagers' suspicion. He just took a deep breath, then raised the volume again, and said loudly: "I know what everyone is thinking. Don't worry, this water is not poisonous. If you don't believe it, I'll take a sip first."

After saying that, without waiting for the villagers to ask, McLee drank all the water in the wooden wine glass in one gulp, and then poured a glass carefully before continuing: "My father told me before that seeing is true and hearing is false.

Everything must be seen with your own eyes to prove that it is true. So, I want to invite a friend to come out and have a glass of water. I wonder which brother dares to try it? I have drunk this water just now. It is not poisonous. You can feel completely relieved."

"I'll do it!" This time, McLee's words finally worked. As soon as the questioning came to the ground, a tall and big farmer walked out of the crowd. Although compared with McLee, his size and body were obviously worse than ordinary villagers, he was still very strong and even burly.

"Okay." Seeing that the visitor had a good relationship with him, McLee nodded gently and smiled and handed the wooden cup in his hand to the other party. After the big man took it, he was not polite, nor did he talk nonsense. He drank it all in one go, and then he turned the empty wooden cup over and signaled it to the villagers around him to watch.

The next moment, he originally planned to ask McLean what you asked me to drink such a little water, but unexpectedly, as soon as his mouth opened, his body trembled involuntarily, and then he burped. Then, he could no longer ask what he was thinking about just now. His big eyes couldn't help but glared, and his face was full of shock that could not be concealed.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

"Erhu, what's wrong with you?"

The villagers around saw Erhu suddenly looked surprised and thought the water was really poisonous. They all looked at Erhu with a nervous look, and the words of concern and worry kept ringing.

"I'm fine. Don't worry."

Erhu immediately wanted to answer, but after trying it a few times, he failed. After a long time, he finally came to his senses, took a long breath, and laughed at the villagers around who cared about him. The villagers were puzzled and immediately asked in unison: "What? Is there no poison in the water?"

"Of course it's not poisonous. Otherwise, I can't laugh. Hahaha..."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers around him felt relieved, but they became even more puzzled. After a moment of silence, they asked in unison again: "Then why did you..."

However, before they finished speaking, they were interrupted by Erhu. Erhu suddenly lit up his eyes, looked at everyone with excitement, and slowly explained: "What I was surprised that this water is magical! It was just a small cup, which made me feel as if I had drunk a whole bucket. It was too incredible. If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself. However, you must not drink too much, otherwise..."

At this point, Erhu wanted to continue talking, but no one around the villagers were willing to listen to his nonsense. They had already been overjoyed by his first half of explanation and were eager to try. Without waiting for Erhu to remind him, they rushed towards McLee.

At this point, the villagers thanked McLee from this day and were grateful to McLee. Meteor Village also regained its vitality and came out of the shadow of death. But where did McLee come from and why these waters are so magical, they have never received a reasonable answer.

No one can tell the reason, including ten years later. Even McLee himself didn't know why this water was so magical. He only knew where this water came from.

Of course, for a whole decade, not no one wants to know the effect of this water, why can it be worth ten? Many people have even worked tirelessly to cross mountains and ridges, go to the deep mountains, visit the prophets and beg for answers. McLee has done this.

However, no matter who it is, the answers obtained are the same, and the answers given by the prophet are the same: "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."

After listening to the same answer hundreds of times, the villagers from Meteor Village gave up on the in-depth investigation of the effect of the water. However, not everyone could be content with it. Just say that the gambling man who was killed by McLeah just now was the one who was the most unwilling to accept it.

At first, he planned to follow McLee to secretly find out the source of the water, and then, taking advantage of the unawareness of the gap, he secretly drove some of the water back and took it to other villages or other cities to sell. But he only had one day to follow McLee, but because the journey was too difficult and the mountain road was too difficult to walk, he gave up this plan.

But he was unwilling to be such a good opportunity to make money and slipped away from his fingers, so he thought of asking the prophet, asking the principle of the formation of water, and then trying to prepare it himself. However, unfortunately, he failed. If the matter was only going here, at most he would give up and not focus on McLean.

But at this moment, McLee once again surprised all the villagers of Meteor Village, including him. After McLee brought back the strange spring water from the deep mountains, he brought back the same amount of wine from the deep mountains one day five years later.

These wines not only have a good taste, but also are natural, as if they are naturally formed in nature, full of the breath of nature, the wine is fragrant and refreshing.

It was from this time that McLee's wine became the new target of that person. But the man failed again. No matter how the wine originated or the brewing principle of the wine was asked from the prophet.

As soon as he thought of this, the man was disheartened and wanted to commit suicide because he owed too much money and the deadline for repaying the gambling debts had already arrived. If he didn't raise the money quickly, the only thing waiting for him was a hell that would never be restored. However, at this moment, he was lucky to hear that a blind man in the next village wanted to buy a woman to get married.

This is the reason why he suddenly changed his target from McLee to Sister John, and it is also the reason why McLee just now just killed himself without saying a word. Of course, the reason why the villagers did not dare to question McLee, and even none of them dared to speak out was not only because of McLee's strength, but also because of his kindness to the entire Meteor Village, was too great.

If there were no McLeah, there would be no Meteor Village now. How could they openly ask someone who had great kindness to the village?

Of course, if McLee usually does evil and does everything, he is a pure evil person, even if the villagers are scared by McLee's sudden murder, they will definitely not be able to help but talk behind their backs. But McLee is not a villain. On the contrary, his usual behavior and style are very decent and he cannot find any faults at all.

Therefore, when the villagers saw McLee killing suddenly, they were just surprised, without any intention of accusing him, nor did they mean to blame him. Because they all believed that even a person as good as McLee would not be able to help but kill. It must be the two people who did something unforgivable to him.

However, even so, there were still brave people who could not help but ask McLei after being silent for a few seconds, but in the end, they were only half of their words and were stopped in time by the old village chief's words.

At this moment, the old village chief suddenly coughed and slowly explained to all the villagers who were frightened and stood there: "Don't be afraid. Don't be nervous. I think everyone knows better about McLee than me. Zhang San and Li Si must have made some big mistakes before being killed by McLee. Their death is a crime.

I believe everyone knows Zhang San's character? He usually likes to bet, so I think it must be related to his gambling. So, everyone doesn't have to be afraid at all, this matter has nothing to do with us. Now, since the matter has been resolved, why are we still standing there? Go home and get things to share water and wine. Do you still have to let McLee be with us here until dawn?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the tense atmosphere was immediately resolved by the old village chief. The villagers were stunned and suddenly realized. They nodded their heads with their eyes shining and went home to get the water and wine utensils.

Until then, watching the villagers rush to ask themselves about water and wine, they found that the unhappiness just now did not happen and did not affect everyone's mood at all. The uncontrollable anger on McLee's face finally disappeared.

At the same time, he laughed and finally let out a hearty laugh again. While carefully distributing the water in the bucket to every family, he said with a smile: "Don't hurry, don't hurry. Every family has it. Come on, this is yours, this is yours, and you, not one of them will be missing..."
