Xie Yujiao couldn't bear to continue watching, because the three of them were so miserable that she was empty-hearted, so when she heard her grandfather's call, she hurriedly trotted to follow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After this rain, the drought has only temporarily relieved everyone's drinking water.

The crops or something, there is no way to return to the sky.

One can only hope for another heavy rain, filling the rivers and soaking the fields so that both humans and livestock can have enough water.

It's just that the scorching sun rises into the sky every day, making everyone's expectations far away.

Seeing that the day of the autumn harvest is approaching, the farmers have long been desperate when they look at a withered yellow field.

This year, Dongshan Village is considered to have a real grain of no income, not to mention paying taxes, and even many families have run out of food if they hadn't bought food in advance.

Fortunately, some officials from above came down to observe the people's situation and learned that several nearby counties were particularly badly affected, and not only were taxes exempted this year, but also relief food was distributed.

However, when it comes to charity, who knows when it will be distributed and how much it will be distributed?

This winter, I don't know how many people will be sad and how many people will starve to death!

After two days and two nights of frightening when they went into the mountain to fetch water last time, the villagers were already frightened, and no one dared to mention entering the mountain again.

Especially the dozen or so people who have been bitten by wolves, although the wounds have healed, the shadow that has fallen in their hearts cannot be eradicated.

It's been months, and they're all still screaming and waking up in the dead of night.

But at the beginning, whether it was the village chief or the old man Qu, they all reiterated the danger in the mountains, but they were facing the danger of dying of thirst at that time, so everyone chose to go into the mountains to fight. When encountering wolves, it can only be said that everyone is unlucky, and no one can blame Old Man Qu.

If you want to blame, you can only blame them for not listening to the old man, not guarding the fire well, and letting the wolves get close and hurt people.

As for the three thieves who were caught, they were removed from the village and driven out of Dongshan Village.

And on the night of the incident, not only did the Qu family enter the thieves, but there were also several families with small populations and no men, and there were also signs of thieves patronizing.

It's just that because the Qu family made a lot of noise, the whole village was woken up, and the thieves didn't succeed and fled in a hurry.

Because the men of each family were not there, no one went out to arrest them, so that the thieves escaped smoothly.

The only ones who were caught were the three unlucky ones who entered the Qu family.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the field has grown up a little bit because of the call of the government to plant some hardy winter vegetables.

These dishes are somewhat mixed with some rice grains, and they can be made into vegetable porridge to satisfy their stomachs.

This year's winter is particularly difficult, and when the New Year is silent, many families have decided to go out to beg for a living after spring planting.

Because this season's spring sowing is to ensure the autumn harvest in the second half of the year, it cannot be delayed.

The school in the village has been suspended for a year, and Xie Yujiao has nothing to do, often following Chuncao and them to the fields to dig wild vegetables.

Every time she walked through the fields and saw the yellow-skinned villagers toiling, she wondered what she could do to help them.

She came out to dig wild vegetables to pass the time, under the pretext that she could have fun with these little girls, but she didn't really want to grab vegetables from them.

These dispensable wild vegetables in the Qu family are food for the stomach in other people's homes.

Xie Yujiao was digging wild vegetables without a pair, and suddenly saw a few small grasses similar to rice seedlings.

"Hey, Sister Ju Niang, look at it, is this a seedling?" Xie Yujiao was a little unsure and asked the oldest Ju Niang.

When these little girls heard that there was something that Yujiao didn't know, they all came over to take a look, wasn't it a seedling?

"It's a seedling, it's just a wild seedling, it's useless, it doesn't bear rice!" Ju Niang looked at it and explained to Xie Yujiao.

"That's a pity!" Xie Yujiao pouted, staring at these seedlings, and her mind flashed through her mind, as if she had thought of something.

What exactly? She squatted in front of these seedlings, motionless, trying to recall what these seedlings represented.

"Jiao Niang, what do you want? Time to go? Chuncao and the others saw that Xie Yujiao was still squatting there in a daze, and hurriedly greeted her loudly.

"Hey, come on!" Xie Yujiao couldn't remember what she had missed, so she decided to leave first, thinking slowly, she could always remember.

This morning, several other girls returned with a full load, but Xie Yujiao, there was not a single leaf in the empty basket.

I can't even look at the second girl who doesn't know her well.

"Yujiao, what are you thinking today? Why didn't you dig any vegetables! Have you taken a trip for nothing? ”

Xie Yujiao looked at her basket, she was indeed a little embarrassed, she laughed twice, and explained: "I'm thinking about other things, it's okay, grandpa won't blame me when I go back with an empty basket!" It's just that I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I still haven't remembered what I'm thinking, it's so annoying! “

She saw that the other people's baskets were full and said, "Aren't you digging anymore?" Then go back! ”

When he got home, the old man saw the empty basket and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" So few wild vegetables today? You gave it all to them? ”

Xie Yujiao put her hands on her cheeks and shook her head gently, "No, I'm thinking about things, but I just can't think of what I want to think?" ”

"What's wrong?" The old man sat down and asked.

"When I was digging wild vegetables today, I saw a few wild seedlings, and then I felt like I was going to think of something, anyway, it should be related to the seedlings, but I can't think of anything." Xie Yujiao said distressedly.

So that's what happened! Then he was relieved.

"Okay, don't think about it, rest and rest first, maybe you will suddenly remember after resting!" The old man patted her on the head and got up to go about himself.

Also! Xie Yujiao also felt that she would put it down for the time being, maybe she would suddenly remember it sometimes, so her mood became lighter.

At noon on the second day, Li Tianlei and Zhao Chengxi came.

This was the first time they had come to the village since last year's counterinsurgency campaign.

This is also because they have been outside, first Pingshanxi, then Pingyangzhou, and then supervising the feudal officials everywhere, and they have never had the opportunity to return to Beijing.

They also just came back the day before yesterday and handed in errands, so they had to go to Dongshan Village on time.

Xie Yujiao saw the arrival of her two friends, and her mood after being depressed for a year finally became truly happy.

As soon as she saw the two of them, Xie Yujiao felt that they were a lot stronger and darker, especially Zhao Chengxi, who seemed to be taller again.

As soon as Zhao Chengxi saw Xie Yujiao, he opened the conversation box and began to tell about his brilliant achievements in the past year or so.

There are also all kinds of strange things that I have seen in various places.

"......, Yujiao, you don't know, some barbarians are ridiculously not allowed to intermarry with foreigners. It is said that the offspring born of intermarriage with foreigners are not pure, belong to the hybrid, and will be spurned by their own people......"

“...... Let's ......."

"......" Xie Yujiao vaguely grasped something in her mind.

"Bastard?" She tried to think.

“...... Let's go, let's ......," Zhao Chengxi kept saying.

"Quiet!"

She motioned to Zhao Chengxi to stop talking.

“？” Zhao Chengxi and Li Tianlei glanced at each other, not knowing why.

"Bastard?" She thought, thought, thought.

"Bastard?"

"Miscellaneous...... Seed...... Yes! I remember! “

Xie Yujiao jumped up happily and slapped a palm on her forehead, "Ouch, why am I so stupid!" Hybrid rice! ”

"What's that?" Zhao Chengxi and Li Tianlei glanced at each other again, stared at Xie Yujiao and asked.
