Chapter 69: The Year of the Great Drought 1

Su Sancheng finally obeyed Su Ercheng's idea, and the two families went up the mountain before dawn the next day. There are many people with great strength, and when they went down the mountain, the group carried three major burdens. Then I dug for two more days, because the two families dug together, the kudzu on this mountain is always limited, and on the last day, only half a basket was dug and the three people came back.

The family was rubbing the half basket of kudzu, and Liu Sanniang sighed: "It's a pity that the powder is not enough, otherwise if you dig so much, you would have a big vat a long time ago." After a while, I can see that I can dig some roots and come back, and that thing can be eaten, and I think the washed powder is also good. ”

Su Qiqi's eyes lit up: "Mother, your proposal is good, wait for a few days to become old and powdery, I will dig it with my mother." ”

The three of them were looking forward to a future where they would not starve to death, when suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Second uncle, second mother, my father and mother said that I came to call you, someone has robbed our village of river water!" ”

Hearing Su Qiuyin's shout, Su Ercheng immediately put down the kudzu in his hand and said to Qiqi: "Qiqi, you play at home, I'll go and see it with your mother." ”

Su Qiqi hurriedly nodded sensibly: "Daddy, go ahead." ”

She knew that the reason why there was still 30% of the harvest in the fields was because there was still water in the river. Almost morning and evening, the family goes to fetch water to irrigate the land, although it is a drop in the bucket, but it can always save a little bit is a little bit. It was already too dry, and the field was still counting on the river for one-third of the harvest. Now this river is also intercepted, isn't that to the harvest snow: one: Ben: read: novel 3w.ybdu to make it worse? Desperate for life?

Su Qiqi's family didn't have any paddy fields at all, only two acres of miscellaneous grains. In addition to buds, there are also some grains such as wheat, wheat, and sweet potatoes. The grains are not yet ripe for the season, so the water needed is not as urgent as the rice season. Therefore, in the past few days, Su Ercheng has the strength to go to the mountains to dig kudzu.

But Shuangxiong Village is a complete family settlement group in ancient times. On ordinary days, there may be big and small quarrels between neighbors, relatives and children. But once something big happens, the whole village has to unite with the outside world. Therefore, Su Ercheng listened to his niece's words and immediately went out with Liu Sanniang.

The adults went out, and Su Qiuyin pulled Su Qiqi and asked, "Qiqi, close the door quickly, let's go and see it too." ”

How can Su Qiqi not have a gossip heart? Not to mention this life-threatening water?

So he quickly locked the door and pulled Yinzi to the head of the village.

As soon as the two arrived at the village, Liu Ying was waving to them: "Qiqi, Yinzi come here." We're here. ”

The two of them hurriedly ran over, and at this time a large number of children gathered under the big tree.

Su Qiqi hurriedly asked, "Liu Ying, why don't you go over and gather here?" ”

Qian Liuying pouted and said, "My eldest brother said that it was very messy there, and the child was not allowed to go over." ”

Hearing this, Su Qiqi blushed: she actually forgot about the safety issue.

Looking at the chaos in the distance, Su Qiqi was very worried about the safety of her father, although she couldn't get closer, but she was getting farther and farther away on the ridge.

Seeing Su Qiqi, Qian Chunhu ran over to stop her: "Qiqi, don't go any further." ”

Su Qiqi stomped his feet to see where his father and mother were, but Qian Chunhu grabbed her and said, "Qiqi, your father and mother are fine, don't worry." There's still a fight over there, just now the third uncle and Uncle Mingchun were injured by the people in Shanghe Village, this will be making trouble. My father and mother were afraid that there would be another fight later, so we all retreated to this side. ”

Su Qiqi looked at it, and there were really several half-grown boys following Qian Chunhu, and they all retreated, it seemed that there was really chaos in front of them. Although Qian Chunhu comforted her, she was still worried about her father and mother, if there was a real fight, whether they would be hurt.

But she can't go over, otherwise something will really happen in a while, and if her father and mother have to take care of her, it will be easier to have an accident. She couldn't help, but at least she couldn't make them worry and cause trouble for them, so Su Qiqi stood beside Qian Chunhu and stared straight ahead.

The noise from the crowd in front of me was very loud, but it was too far away to make out what was being said.

Suddenly, there was a shout in the distance: "The mayor is here, get out of the way." ”

Hearing this, Qian Chunhu seemed to be relieved and said: "It's okay now, I won't fight anymore." You see, the mayor of the town has brought a lot of people from the yamen, and he can't fight now. ”

Sure enough, more than a dozen trappers with sticks surrounded them, and the villagers on the edge of the field finally stopped the noise.

I don't know what they were talking about, but after a while, the crowd moved under the big tree on the other side. Su Qiqi thought to himself, it seems that the mayor of the town is coming to mediate.

It is impossible for the on-site office children of the officials to pass, and the villagers only enter the inner enclosure. Qian Chunhu looked at his little face that was red and flushed, and his lips were also dry, so his eyes rolled and he asked softly: "Qiqi, do you know?" How did this water fight come about? ”

Su Qiqi shook his head in confusion: "Who caused it?" ”

Qian Chunwen attached to Su Qiqi's ear and said, "Thank you, widow! ”

Su Qiqi stared at eyes bigger than lanterns and asked, "Didn't you say that the people in Shanghe Village were grabbing water with us?" Why did you get involved with Widow Xie again? ”

Qian Chunhu pointed to the big tree and said, "Let's go there and talk." ”

The sun is indeed too sunny, Su Qiqi didn't feel it just now because she was nervous, but now as soon as Qian Chunhu reminded her, she realized how powerful the sun was, so she immediately followed them to the bottom of the tree.

Curiosity always kills cats, Qian Chunhu and Qian Chunwen only said one head and didn't say anything, which made Su Qiqi's heart itch: "Chunwen, you say it quickly, why did you get involved with Widow Xie again?" ”

Qian Chunhu tugged at her: "Qiqi, you speak lightly, I also heard about this in the crowd just now." You don't know who those two people were who they were fighting, do you? One is Chen Laosan from Shanghe Village, and the other is Uncle Ming Chun from our village. ”

Su Qiqi was even more confused: "Could it be that the fight between these two was provoked by Widow Xie?" ”

Qian Chunwen laughed out loud: "Qiqi, you are still young, although this matter was not provoked by Widow Xie, it has a lot to do with her." That Chen Laosan from Shanghe Village, Uncle Mingchun and Widow Xie all have that relationship, it may be that Widow Xie is better to Uncle Mingchun, so that Chen Laosan is angry. It just so happened that the fields of the two families were together again, and today Chen Laosan deliberately blocked Uncle Mingchun's water for the sake of this water. You also know that water is more expensive than oil now, where can Uncle Mingchun's family rely on? ”

Su Qiqi was petrified before he finished listening!

This dispute between men and women causes jealousy, and finally leads to blood fights? From the jealousy of the two wild men of the widow Xie to the fight of the villagers of a village? In the end, it was staged in the town yamen?

She had to admire the sentence: men are animals that think in the lower body! What should we do today?
