Si Xi immediately nodded and followed a group of people as they left.
Outside, Zhou Chu looked at Si Xi and said, "Si Xi, why were you pulling on me just now?"
Si Xi replied while looking at Zhou Chu, "If I hadn’t pulled you, what would you have done? Persuade the Gang Leader to give up on those towns? To build embankments to protect Xiantao Village?"
Zhou Chu said, "Yes."
Si Xi said, "Old Zhou, let’s not talk about whether your idea is mature or whether it can truly stop the flood. Even if you can stop it, when you can clearly use one village to solve the flood problem, you now insist on destroying three towns..."
"So what? Xiantao Village, Xiantao Village, that’s the Gang Leader’s hometown, his relatives and friends, his family’s ancestral graves are all in Xiantao Village; are you just going to stand by and watch the flood wash away the Gang Leader’s family graves?"
Si Xi was stunned.
The ancestral grave, in this era, was of great importance, it was a person’s root.
Just like after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he immediately marked his hometown as the Longxing Land and placed his ancestral grave in the Imperial Temple, turning it into the Imperial Mausoleum, and even assigned eunuchs and officials to guard the grave of the ancestors.
