Chapter 253: Returning the favor

"Attention dear townspeople of Sweetwater, good news, great news, from today onwards, Major Ben will resume seven consecutive days of free water, mine brand deep well water, definitely more than a little sweet......"

A strange shout sounded at the entrance to the long street, and as the sound approached, one saw a young major officer, who was holding a carriage in one hand and a tin horn in the other, and a Dalmatian in a red bow tie beside him.

With such a flamboyant posture, Tang Yi is embarrassed to say that he is a low-key person? Think about it carefully, when did he come to Sweetwater Town to keep a low profile, and a person who was shameless to his part was basically completely shameless.

However, this time, no one watched the excitement of Tang Xiaoye's high-profile appearance, but hurried home to get a bucket one by one, and then followed closely behind the carriage pulling the water tank, lest he not be able to grab water for a while.

Tang Yi missed the old days, so he planned to go to the pool and start giving water again, and by the way, he would pay homage to the dignity of the town elder, but just halfway through, more than a dozen guys with black round-brimmed top hats, black leather jackets on their upper bodies, and jeans on their lower bodies stopped the carriage.

So Tang Yi pointed the iron microphone at these people, and said with a polite smile: "Hehe, let a few of you go, everyone is waiting to get the water to go home to make tea, if you also want to get my mine brand deep well water, you can line up behind the carriage." ”

The leader of this group of stopped cars was a slightly fat young white man, with a small nose and small eyes, and a long crooked melon and cracked dates, but he was polite, and took off his top hat and put it on his chest.

"Major, we want to buy this car, you can tell how much it is, we will not bargain, besides, Mr. Grace greets you."

In fact, as soon as these people appeared, Tang Yi guessed their identities, because these people were dressed the same as the people who opened the gambling game on the day of his duel.

Tang Yi frowned slightly, and glanced back at the townspeople who were carrying buckets behind him, most of these people had helplessness and disappointment on their faces, only a few of them were unwilling, but they also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

"Who is Mr. Grace?"

Tang Yi asked softly, but no one answered him, but he didn't need them to answer, Tang Yi then slapped his head, and said to the "crooked melon" in front of him as if he remembered it.

"Oh! Remember, Mr. Grace was the one who gave me the bow and arrows that day and lent me a hundred gold coins, right? ”

"Crooked Melon" grinned, but the smile was full of disdain and mockery, "Yes Major, you have a really good memory. ”

"Hehe, my memory has always been good, since Mr. Grace has helped me, it is too much to say that I can't buy it, but I have promised these townspeople that this cart of water is for them, what can I do?"

"Hehe, the major doesn't have to worry about this, you just give us the water, and as for them, they can ask Mr. Grace for it."

"Hmm...... That's not good, then don't I have no faith in my words? Friend, you see if this will work, there is a lot of water in this cart, you take half of it, and give the remaining half to these townspeople. ”

Tang Yi said very sincerely, completely looking like he was working hard for the townspeople, but this "crooked melon" opened his mouth very domineeringly.

"Major, you don't have much water in this car, and Mr. Grace has a lot of people in his family, so I'm sorry, and I don't think they necessarily need your water, you can ask them if you don't believe me."

Tang Yi turned his head and glanced at the crowd behind him, at this time, the angry and dissatisfied eyes of these people had obviously increased a lot compared to just now, but nearly half of them stood on the side of the street with empty buckets, showing that they would not go against the madman Grace.

Of course, Tang Yi wouldn't ask these townspeople who were afraid of the madman Grace, so he pretended to sigh helplessly: "Alas! Well, I owe Mr. Grace one time anyway, so I should repay him for this favor, friend, how are you going to take this water? ”

"Crooked melon" picked the corners of his mouth and smiled arrogantly, "It's very simple, you just look at it." ”

After speaking, this "crooked melon" shouted at the people with empty buckets behind Tang Yi and standing on the street: "Now you fill the bucket and send the water to Mr. Grace's house, the people who go and Mr. Grace who don't go will remember, by the way, Mr. Grace is not in a very good mood these days." ”

After the words of "crooked melon" fell, the whole street was silent for half a minute, and then the first middle-aged woman walked to the outlet pipe behind the carriage and put the empty bucket under the water pipe.

"Major, are you here to release the water or are we coming ourselves?"

Tang Yi waved his hand and replied with a proud face: "What are you doing so politely, I'll come, this is the faucet I finally made, don't be broken by you." ”

This time, the process of receiving water from the townspeople was completely different from the last time, there was no shouting scramble, only silence and depression, everyone quietly took the water and left without saying a word, and it was all in the same direction.

Tang Yi controlled the mechanism of the water tank, paying attention to the expressions of every townsman who received the water, numbness accounted for the majority, followed by dissatisfaction, and the least was anger, but none of them resisted.

Tang Yi didn't look down on these townspeople, but he didn't have any sympathy, he was just thinking about the madman Grace, the reason why he gave this cart of water to the madman Grace today was indeed like what he just said, Grace borrowed him a hundred gold coins before, and gave him an extra thousand gold coins, no matter what the other party's purpose was, he owed Grace a favor.

Originally, I wanted to find a chance to return this favor, but I didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to ask for it in this way, so it's just right, and the two don't owe each other from now on.

It took nearly an hour for the cart of water to be empty, and the townspeople who didn't need to queue up for water immediately dispersed away from here, Tang Yi turned off the water pipe and led the carriage to turn around, the "crooked melon" spoke.

"Major, you have done very wisely today, and Mr. Grace will be very happy to know about it."

"Oh, is it? That's good, after all, he helped me once, and I'm glad that I can return his favor this time, hehe, say hello to Mr. Grace for me. ”

After Tang Yi finished speaking, he turned around and led the carriage away, and at the same time, he and the "crooked melon" cursed in his heart: "Stupid! ”

After Tang Yi left the outskirts of the town, he turned into a poplar forest, then collected the water tank and lay down on the carriage, tracing the word "force" in his mind while calculating the time, because he wanted to enter Sweetwater Town again in three hours to give free water.

There are two reasons for this, first, normally it takes six hours to drive a carriage back and forth between Sweetwater and the barracks, so what does it mean if he returns to town three hours later with a newly loaded wagon?

Second, Tang Xiaoye is an honest person, he said that he will give free water for seven days, then it must be good for a day, as for that madman Grace, unless he is a chosen person, he is not bullshit in the eyes of Tang Xiaoye now, and he will be killed in minutes.

However, Tang Yi has changed his mind a little now, after all, he wants to do business, although he is not afraid of these local snakes who oppress the townspeople, but the townspeople are afraid, and when the townspeople are afraid to buy his water, then what money will he make.

So sometimes, there are some things that really can't be solved by force alone, after all, the forces that make the townspeople fear are not only the madman Grace in Sweetwater Town, but if there is a ghost in secret, his water may not be sold, so don't kill until the last step.

No wonder there is an ancient oriental saying: the first army to attack the plan, the second to attack the enemy, the second to attack the army, and then the siege of the city.

This is too consistent with the master's concept of using soldiers, it's really the same as what the hero sees, huh? What fell on your face?

"I'm Nima, which bird poops? Do you dare to fly back and let the master see? ”
