Chapter 11 I will tell you what hope is

Li Ergou and Erniu were the first to come, and they found two fences with target rings and practiced one after another.

Li Ergou was very focused when he was archery, while Erniu was looking around, and even looked at the house on the big tree from time to time, and his mind was not on archery at all.

The old man rolled the leaves into a funnel shape and filled them into two 300-milliliter vials.

One drop is no more, one drop is not less, two full bottles, and then two bottles of water are poured into the 1500 ml large water bottle one after another, and the rest is returned to Li Ergou as it is.

In just a few minutes, there was an extra half a bottle of water, which made Bai Ye very excited, and even Xu Lingshan, who had always been very cold, widened his eyes, it turned out that there were really people in this world who were willing to send water to themselves except Bai Ye!

After a while, a noisy voice sounded outside the fence: "Hey, why are you here, didn't you say that you still have to think about it?"

"I thought about it, so here I am. ”

"I said, why is your bow so ugly, can you shoot arrows?"

"I don't think yours is much better than mine, and you still have a knot in your bowstring, what qualifications do you have to say about me!"

Such a conversation could be heard from a long distance, and Bai Ye walked out of the fence in high spirits, and then his eyes widened!

Xu Lingshan felt that Bai Ye had become more and more startled recently, and wanted to walk over and taunt him, but when he walked out of the fence, his eyes widened!

"Damn, I'm not dreaming!" He rubbed his eyes vigorously: "Now, now we have it!"

Bai Ye also nodded affirmatively, there were a large number of people outside, and there were eighty or ninety of these people!

At first, he thought that only 50 people were enough, and he also divided several batches of persuasion, although he stipulated that there was only half an hour to sign up, but he didn't say that it was only today!

This black pressed piece, and those who didn't know thought they were here to rob his inventory.

Bai Ye patted his face to force himself to calm down, but Xu Lingshan found that his hands were shaking, and his own hands were shaking even more.

Looking at the people who were slowly approaching, Bai Ye shook his shoulders and put his still trembling hand behind his waist: "Everyone be quiet, just now, I saw something, guess what?"

Everyone was puzzled, but Xu Lingshan had a sad feeling, he felt that the hundred or so people in front of him were about to be fooled.

Sure enough, Bai Ye put on that extremely confident expression again: "I see how each of you will be able to get water next month! Not just one or two bottles, I believe that as long as you pass my teaching, a large number of you will eventually be able to enter the consortium!"

His words made the eyes of the people who had already come with hope ignite a fire again, as if they felt that they would be able to enter the consortium next and enjoy the days of endless water.

Whether they will enter the consortium Xu Lingshan doesn't know the mystery, but he knows that the water of this group of people will definitely not be saved......

Bai Ye originally felt that he should say something, but he found that this group of people didn't need to say it themselves at all, and they all stepped into the fence with reverence.

He recalled that Wang Ye was the scene of hundreds of people shouting in unison with his arms raised, it turned out that as long as they were given hope, they were also united, provided that they were really given hope!

Everyone was lined up in two rows under the command of Bai Ye and Xu Lingshan, with a total of one hundred and eleven people, and one hundred and nine people handed over the water.

The two extra two were a pregnant woman, and the child she was holding in her hand, the child was about the same age as the green leaves, and he did not understand the world of adults, but he wanted to play with the green leaves under the tree.

When her husband handed over the water, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and even the extra drops of water had to be scraped off the leaves and put them back......

"Wife, we don't have to pay water, I can secretly lie behind the fence and watch them practice. ”

Most of the hundreds of scavengers in the morning had this idea, and the woman slapped her husband:

"Then how can you do it, you have to pay tuition fees for learning other people's things, and you have to pay back what you eat other people's things, this is what you taught Xiaobao, do you want him to be a man of his word in the future?"

Bai Ye naturally couldn't hear the conversation between the husband and wife, but Xu Lingshan's ears moved slightly, and then he showed a smile of relief.

He led the pregnant woman and the child to the tree to be accompanied by the green leaves, and at the same time handed over a bottle of water, and said with a smile: "If you are pregnant, you should rest more, and drink it with the child." ”

The pregnant woman looked at Xu Lingshan gratefully, but she still shook her head in a panic about the water in his hand: "I can't drink this water, let Xiaobao drink it!"

"Mom doesn't drink it, and Xiaobao doesn't drink it either!"

Xu Lingshan smiled: "Even if you don't drink it, the child still has to drink it." ”

The green leaf on the side also nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "Drink, Brother Ling Shan and Brother Bai Ye are good people, they won't ask you to pay it back." ”

The woman took the water a little helplessly, let the child take a sip, and then quickly handed it back. Xu Lingshan found that the bottle of water was not short at all, and the woman and the child only wet their lips.

But even so, the woman's eyes moistened and she choked quietly. After so many years, in addition to her husband giving her water to drink, this is the first time she has received water from others, and she found that the world is not as bad as she thought.

The husband on the side wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes fiercely, he looked at this gentle man and Bai Ye who was smiling from ear to ear, he swore that this life was in addition to his wife and children, it was the two people in front of him!

The rest of the people were not dissatisfied with the fact that they handed over the water to others to drink, and they even felt that the two teenagers full of horror rumors were not only very special, but even convincing from the heart.

After all, many people who come to study have wives and children, and they all hope that their women and children can get the same treatment!

Everyone is happy, and those who learn arrows are happy because they see hope. Bai Ye is much simpler, so much water he is happy to die!

But then he was troubled, thinking that there was not enough water bottles!

In the first month, Bai Ye shot directly into two rings, while Xu Lingshan missed one ring; In the second month, he shot the fourth ring, Xu Lingshan four rings; The fifth ring of the third month, the fifth ring of Xu Lingshan; Fourth Month...... The bottles of the fourth month are still full.

There were exactly twenty empty bottles, but there were one hundred and nine people here, and there were two empty bottles missing.

Is it possible to return the excess water? Impossible, what goes into his pocket is his, and no one should try to take it back!

In the end, he thought of a way and called Green Leaf in front of him: "Green Leaf, drink the water in the kettle." ”

Green Leaf didn't understand why such precious water had to be drunk, but since it was Brother Baiye, he still nodded, opened the bottle cap with his little hand, and then licked it gently.

"Drink again. ”

Green Leaf took a small sip.

"Drink again. ”

Green Leaf took a big sip.

"Drink again. ”

Green Leaf gulped down the water, and finally burped, Nuo Nuo said, "Brother Baiye, I can't drink it anymore." ”

He had never tried to drink such a large gulp, but it was a feeling he could remember for the rest of his life.

"Old man, you drink too. ”

"This ......" Although the old man hesitated, he still chose to listen to Bai Ye, he also drank in small sips like his grandson at first, but when he saw Bai Ye's dissatisfied eyes, he finally chose to take a big gulp of water.

A bottle of almost 400 ml of water, and that's how it bottomed out.

Bai Ye nodded with satisfaction, then poured the water in the large bottle into the kettle, and handed it to the old man again: "Drink again." ”

The old man was stunned, everyone was stunned, when was the water so cheap and could be drunk so unscrupulously?

The old man drank water loudly.

Gollum, Gollum, Gollum, Louder of Swallowing!

In the end, the old man couldn't drink it anymore, and he felt that he had drunk all the water of his life.

When he handed the kettle to Bai Ye, there was still half a bottle of water in it, and at this moment Bai Ye was dissatisfied again: "Ling Shan, you come." ”

Xu Lingshan and Bai Ye thought about it for so many years, and naturally knew that he was reluctant to give up the extra water, so they called the pregnant woman and Xiaobao.

Maybe it's because both of them haven't drunk water for too long, this time they drank a lot, not only drank half a bottle of water, but Bai Ye also forcibly let them drink another pot.

After drinking, the pregnant woman cried completely, she felt that letting her husband learn archery was the most correct decision in her life, and she and her child had already drunk the most water in this life.

The husband who was on the side also couldn't hold back his tears at all, hiding in the crowd and constantly wiping his eyes.

Seeing that the old and weak women and children couldn't drink it, Xu Lingshan filled the kettle again and handed it to Luye, and then took the big bottle and directly unscrewed the cap and went down.

Bai Ye was enjoying this kind of luxurious time, but he found that Ling Shan was particularly able to drink, and he actually drank two-thirds of a large bottle of water in one go, so frightened that he hurriedly stopped: "Wait, you loser, leave some for me!"

He snatched the rest of the water and drank it down.

When everyone saw the last drop of water fall into Shiraba's mouth, everyone became quiet, and after a few seconds, this silence instantly brewed into a noisy chatter.

Li Ergou: "Erniu, I'm not wrong, look at the way people drink water, as if they are not drinking water at all." Learn archery from him, and we'll be able to drink like that!"

"Wife, you are waiting for me, one day I will also want you and the child to drink water like this!"

"Mmmm, I believe you!"

"Green leaves, or you will live here in the future, and the two big brothers will take you in. ”

"Don't, I'm going to follow Grandpa!"

Everyone: "It's a loss that those stupid hats didn't come, as long as we study hard, we will definitely be able to drink water like this in the future!"

Only Xu Lingshan looked at everyone with extremely strange eyes on the side, and he felt that this group of people had a sick head.

Obviously, they didn't drink a drop of water, but they were even more excited than themselves, the water drinker, did they really think that they could have water to drink if they learned archery?

He felt that it was impossible, because he and Bai Ye's archery skills were all learned from the mouth of the beast again and again!

Bai Ye held up the empty bottle in his hand, his confidence at this moment was not pretending at all, he said loudly: "I'll tell you what hope is, if you have water to drink, it's hope!"

At this time, Li Ergou waved his fist and shouted excitedly: "Drink water!"

"Drink water!"

"Drink water!"

"Drink water!"

For a while, the shouts of hundreds of people shook the sky, listening to the shouts of everyone, looking at the empty bottle in Bai Ye's hand, Xu Lingshan fell into deep thought.

Maybe what Bai Ye said is right, as long as they give people real hope, they will live positively.
