Chapter 74: The Mire
Later, the two gave birth to a baby, his nickname was Shishi, and his big name was Yang Shi. When he was about eight years old, his parents died one after another, and although Yang Shi had no symptoms of leprosy, we were still afraid that he would carry the disease, so we did not dare to let him go back to the village.
At that time, Yang Shi was young and did not have the ability to grow crops, so he had no choice but to cut down the bamboo on the mountain and drag it to the village to sell, so he barely survived.
Because everyone was afraid of leprosy, everyone avoided him like a plague god when he entered the village, and he did not want to stay in the village for long, so every time he sold the bamboo, he took the money to buy food and went back to the mountains.
And so, the boy grew up to be eighteen years old. In recent years, there has been a sudden drought in our village, and not a drop of water can be seen in the wells more than ten meters deep, and there is no food in the fields, and even the weeds in the surrounding mountains have died little by little.
But we later found out that there was a spring on the mountain where Yang Shi lived, so we went to him to ask if we could lead the spring water down the mountain to irrigate the grain.
Perhaps because he had received too much of our eyes before, the boy was very hostile to us, let alone let us draw water, even if we went up the mountain, he would take us down the mountain with a broom.
But now there is only one usable water source left in this radius of dozens of miles, and if we can't lead the spring water down the mountain, we will all have to die.
Because this mountain was given to his parents back then, and in return, the village occupied the house and land that his parents had left in the village, so logically speaking, we really have no reason to lead the mountain spring down the mountain without his consent.
But after all, this is related to hundreds of lives in the village, and then we still forcibly went up the mountain to divert water, but Yang Shi's doll is not sensible at all, every time we go down the mountain, he will always dismantle all the equipment we use to divert water.
Later, we really had no choice but to forcibly tie him back to the village, but the doll was very angry, and after kidnapping him back to the village, he didn't eat or drink, because we were afraid of causing trouble, so we really had no choice but to let him go.
When he returned to the mountain, he immediately dismantled the equipment that brought us water, and most of the grain in the field had already died, and if we continued to cut off the water, we would have completely confiscated it, and there would be no food, and everyone would have to starve to death.
So for
