In fact, what Hua Jiao didn't know was that on the night of her illness, Qin's father and Qin Laoniang thought about it again and again, and summoned his son, daughter-in-law, eldest grandson, and eldest granddaughter to the room to discuss the matter, in order to draw water. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info just got up, she was startled, and the whole family moved, and then there was no afterword.

Roche has only one pepper in his heart these days, and he has long left this matter behind. It was only then that my husband heard her husband mention it again, and I chuckled in my heart before I remembered that there was such an imminent and difficult matter. But I don't know whether to be happy or worried, and I can't help but be sad.

Biting her lip, she still couldn't hold back, and looked at her husband: "I once heard someone mention that from us to the Yangtze River, it would have to bypass half of Changtang Lake, and it would take two or three hundred miles to go back and forth...... Father-in-law and second uncle, can't they not go? ”

Qin Lianbao sat on the edge of the bed, his slender big hand gently patted the pepper that seemed to be sleeping uncomfortably, and he didn't know his wife's worries. When the youngest daughter slept more peacefully, he listened to her in detail: "The water from the three or five springs on the back mountain is getting less and less day by day, and today it is only half of the previous one, and I am afraid that it will not last a few more days." Lianxi has dried up, and Changtang Lake looks at the water surface very large, but it is actually very shallow. I went there when I was a child, and it was only about half a foot deep, and I heard that I couldn't hold it anymore. I can't always come to the Yangtze River...... Although Dao'er is indeed farther away, there is really no better way than this......

Luo didn't know much, but Qin Lianbao was clear in his heart, the clan elders in the village had actually been discussing the matter of going to the distance to draw water.

Just because the road is unknown, and I think that there is still a glimmer of life, relying on the spring of Lotus Mountain can still survive, it is not like the village next to it has long been out of life, so no one is willing to go. Because of Jiaojiao's illness, no one could take care of this stubble, so it was shelved. But now I can't hold it anymore, so I have to repeat the old words and re-plan the matter of drawing water.

At first, I was counting on Lotus Swing seven or eight miles away, and later I planned to go to Changtang Lake, which was more than thirty miles away. Until now, he can only put his life on the Yangtze River.

It's only at this point, not to mention that the village is going to draw water. Even if no one is willing to go, for the sake of survival, for the sake of the children, their own family has to think about it no matter what.

After all, they can't afford to wait, who knows what exactly they are waiting for in the end!

It's just that......

I heard that just two days ago, there were already more than a dozen people in the eastern funnel bay, and they drove ox carts to the Yangtze River to draw water. After walking more than 20 miles to Changtang Lake, I thought that the pedestrian fishway would pass through the bottom of the dry lake, and I would almost reach the Yangtze River, but I could walk dozens of miles less. I don't know how far I went, and the wilting ox somehow ran towards the center of the lake like crazy, and seven or eight young men couldn't stop it, and they fell and injured several of them. It was easy to drag the cow out, and after a few steps, he foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground. I don't know what happened, but I didn't dare to move forward. What's more, the ox is dead, how to draw water. dragged the scalpers back in a fit of rage, and ran until their hearts collapsed. Only then did I know that the cow was not from the side, but had eaten a belly of wet mud and screamed to death......

Thinking of this news, many people in the village weakened, and Qin Lianbao couldn't help but hesitate.

Luo and Qin Lianbao sat on the edge of the bed and whispered, and Hua Jiao listened to it clearly.

It was also the first time I knew that Lianxi County was so close to the Yangtze River, and it was even very likely to be on the edge of the Yangtze River.

It was the best news she'd ever heard in days.

Settle down.

Hopefully, this Yangtze River is the Yangtze River she knows.

After all, it is not uncommon for the two mother rivers that gave birth to Chinese civilization, such as the Yellow River drying up, cutting off its flow, and diverting its course. The drying up of the Yangtze River has only occurred twice in history for more than 2,000 years, and it is still a natural vision, not a cause of drought.

Draw only water......

In my previous life, I had heard that there was a place in the southwest border where there was a drought in the dry season, and it was still dry in the rainy season. Ordinary people can only carry cars on their shoulders and travel miles to draw water. There is also the country next door, because of the drought, and the two more wives are specially asked for water in order to draw water.

For Sichuan peppercorns, all this is too far away.

But Huajiao knows that no matter what happens, she only has one way to face.

But let's not talk about it, let's just say that it is a round trip of two or three hundred miles.

In the modern world, this is not a problem at all. But for now, there are basically only two legs that can be relied on, even if ordinary people walk twenty miles every hour, the uncles have practiced a few tricks and styles with their grandfather since childhood, and their physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people. If you don't eat, drink, or sleep, you won't be able to get home for a day and a night.

What's more, it is still under the harsh conditions of poor health, lack of energy, hot weather, poor diet, unfamiliar roads, unknown road ahead, etc. and draw water...... Just think about it, the peppercorns are numb in the scalp.

The bottom of my heart was anxious, and I didn't notice it for a long time, patting my big hand for a while, obviously a little absent-minded.

Luo sat across from Qin Lianbao, and had already noticed the hesitation in her husband's expression. After ten years of husband and wife, after a little thought, I already understood my husband's hesitation. His lips twitched, but he didn't make a sound.

Qin Lianbao looked at it, his expression suddenly felt a little guilty, sighed, and discussed with the Luo clan in a low voice: "Daddy means that my eldest brother and I will stay and guard the gate......

At that time, Qin Lianbao didn't expect the old man to let him stay, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not without surprise. Hearing his father say this, the second brother and the fourth and fifth children all agreed to say nothing more. But the eldest brother suggested that he also go to draw water and let himself and the fifth brother stay at home. After all, the fifth brother is still young, and Jiaojiao's serious illness has not yet healed, and Roche has also given half a life, but he can't stand anything anymore. At home, the two of them can feel at ease, at least they don't have to worry about it.

The fifth brother jumped up at that time and said that he was going to go for everything. And he thought about it, and he also had his own plans: "Jiaojiao has been sick these days, and the labor family is busy...... Now that the peppers are ready, I'll stay at home...... It's better to follow Daddy to draw water. Many people, but also many guts......"

In the end, Qin Lianbao looked at Luo.

Luo lowered his head, took his hand and patted the pepper gently, without looking at him or speaking.

Of course she didn't want to.

The words are good, and she is not a person who does not know the sophistication of human feelings.

But the drought is like this, although the family is still peaceful, life can barely get by. Can be ...... outside I heard that now a bucket of rice and wheat has been sold for three times, even a bucket of miscellaneous grains has to be more than two times, and the price of clear water is more than silver, and the world has been chaotic.

Many villages were empty, and everyone who could walk and move fled to the city. Even if most of them can't enter the city at all, they can only live in the shack under the city wall outside the city, relying on the gentry and wealthy Shi Mi to survive, there are still people who leave their homes and businesses to survive.

It is these villages by the Lianxi, in the past, it was said that Jiuqu and Eighteen Bays, Wanwan is one. In the past, I have always been able to advance and retreat together with the same family, but at this time, in order to survive, didn't I also start to fight openly and secretly, and each of them stumbled! Even Zhoujiawan, among the same clan, and even between brothers and brothers, didn't some people start to fight and scold each other for a mouthful of water!

Not to mention that it is two or three hundred miles back and forth, how can she rest assured.
