54. 054 Buy water at a high price

Seeing that Uncle Yun was silent, He Shi pulled Li's sleeve and begged: "Sister-in-law, you persuade Uncle, if we have a bite to eat, we will never let you go hungry, even if you don't think about it, you have to think about Xuan'er and Yueniang, you can't let the child starve with you?" ”

After listening to this, Li's tears flowed even more fiercely, but she also knew her husband's thoughts, the third family really couldn't afford it, but when she heard He talk about her children, how could she see her children starving? I could only say nothing.

Yun Laosan and He kept persuading, and Meiniang also persuaded together, but the old uncle just didn't spit out.

After the last, Mei Niang glanced at Uncle Jiang who was frowning on the side, "Uncle Jiang, you can also say something, help us persuade Uncle Jiang"

Uncle Jiang clicked his lips, "Since the Sanmao family has begged so, Brother Da Mao, don't screw it, at most, let Xuan'er and Chu Ye go up the mountain to hunt together from tomorrow, and Yueniang will follow Meiniang to pick wild vegetables, can this person still starve to death?" ”

Hearing Uncle Jiang say this, the happiest thing is Yun Xuan, that is, he doesn't have to starve here, and he can go up the mountain to hunt with his idol, how good, the idol can teach him to use both hands casually.

Uncle Yun didn't insist anymore when he heard this, and finally nodded and agreed.

Yun Laosan smirked innocently, I don't know why, since Uncle Jiang came back with his son, his whole person has become a lot more cheerful, even Uncle Yun feels that his younger brother is getting old, and he is finally a little enlightened.

So, after packing up their things, the group prepared to return to Baohe Village.

Uncle Jiang's family didn't have anything left, and everything that could be exchanged for food was exchanged for food, and there were a few bedding and some pots and pans, tables, chairs, benches, etc., all of which were put on the carriage.

It's just that no matter how few things are, the carriage is still full, and everyone has to walk all the way.

Except for Li and Yueniang, who don't go out of the door on weekdays and don't step out of the second door, the rest of them are used to work.

Let Li and Yueniang sit on the futon, Uncle Jiang rode a horse if he was not in good health, and the rest of the people hurried away with a smile.

There are also a lot of people, and Brother Leopard and others have just been beheaded, and many people have taken their thoughts, and they have not encountered robberies along the way.

It's just that everyone on the road is thirsty, and they just happened to pass by a water source, so they wanted to get some water to drink, and Mei Niang wanted to see how the water was sold, so she offered to buy water.

There would be no danger if the well was guarded by officers and soldiers, so everyone agreed, and Yueniang happily took her cousin's hand and followed.

There was a long line of people in front of the well to fetch water, but fortunately, the speed of fetching water was very fast, and it didn't take long for Meiniang's turn.

Mei Niang used to hold the water was the uncle's small bucket, and handed it forward, "Fetch me two bowls of water." ”

The soldier who fetched the water coldly held the small bowl, "Twenty Wen." ”

"What? I'm making two bowls of water, not ten bowls of water. ”

Mei Niang thought that she had heard it wrong, she had only heard Yun Xuan say that it was two yuan a bowl of water to draw water here, so why did two bowls of water cost twenty yuan.

Xiao Bing's gaze was disdainful, "One bowl of ten wen, two bowls aren't twenty wen?" Ten bowls, that's a hundred. ”

Meiniang frowned, Shiwen Chang used to buy enough meat for her whole family to eat for a few days, but now she can only buy a bowl of water.

I can't imagine that water is so expensive now, and there is a trend of more expensive depending on the meaning, how will people live in the future.

The imperial court is really getting more and more outrageous, not only does it not provide disaster relief, but also gives out this kind of people's difficult wealth, is this to force the people to rebel?
