Chapter 19: Warmth
At dinner, Han saw that Liu Wu's eyes were still red, so he whispered to the Zhang family and Yao family next to him: "You two will be relieved after eating in a while, and the third daughter-in-law will be relieved." ”
After dinner, Zhang and Yao found Liu and his nephew in a corner of the tent.
"Third brother and sister, are you better?" Zhang asked.
Liu Fu heard the voice of his sister-in-law, so he put down the little boy in his arms, raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
When Yao saw Liu like this, he said, "Third brother and sister, take care of your health, after all, you have to take care of Yaoyao and your little nephew in the future." ”
"Thank you, I'm fine. For all these years, I thought that when I had saved enough money, I would try to find a way to go home and see my father and brother, but now I will never see them again, and I will never go home again. The catkins began to sob again.
"Auntie, don't cry that you still have me, when I grow up, I will build a house by myself, and you will have a home again." Liu Wu's little nephew raised his head and looked at Liu Wu and said.
When Liu Wu heard the little nephew say this, he picked up the little stone again, and as soon as Mu Chenghu's father and daughter entered the tent, they saw this scene, and a sentence of blood came out in their hearts, and this thing is really powerful.
"Mother, are you better?" Mu Yao stepped forward and asked with concern.
Liu Wu pretended to be strong and said, "Yaoyao, I'm fine." ”
Mu Chenghu didn't expose her when he saw Liu Wu like this, but asked, "Asu, what is the name of your little nephew, we don't know yet?" ”
Mu Chenghu asked as he reached out and hugged the little boy out of Liu Wu's arms, but the little boy refused to let Mu Chenghu hug him.
"Little stone, this is your uncle, not a bad person." Liu Wu pointed to Mu Chenghu and said to the small stone.
"Auntie, my name is Xiao Shi, my name is Liu Zhen. Uncle Wei gave me the little stone, and Uncle Wei said that in order not to let the bad guys suspect him, I called him Little Stone along the way, and he disguised himself as my uncle. ”
Mu Yao thought to herself that it was really embarrassing for the little stone, and at such a young age, he had to describe the meaning clearly.
Mu Yao was in a desolate state, and suddenly heard her old lady say, "Little stone, this is my sister, if you have anything in the future, just go to her." ”
Mu Yao almost fainted on the spot, didn't her mother know that she was most afraid of children or something.
The little stone next to him saw the reluctance on Mu Yao's face, so he said cautiously, "Auntie, I will listen to my sister obediently." ”
Mu Yao showed a smile that she thought was gentle when she saw Xiao Shi's cautious appearance, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Xiao Shi." ”
Half an hour later, Liu Wu was persuaded by a few people. Finally, I slowly packed up my mood. Several people were relieved to see this.
In the next few days, the weather was relatively hot and humid, and everyone had a hard time getting up. Mu Yao was most afraid of this kind of sultry weather, and Wei Ran was still injured, so he would occupy a car by himself, so Mu Yao could only walk by himself the whole time. Although Han occasionally asked Mu Yao to get in the car and sit for a while, Mu Yao let Xiaoshi sit on it every time.
At noon on this day, when the big guy passed by a village, Mu Chenghu found that there were more ponds in this village, and the crops and vegetables were also better.
Mu Chenghu saw that there were a lot of gourds piled up at the door of every house in the village, so he asked everyone to stop outside the village, and he was bold enough to walk into the village.
As soon as Mu Chenghu entered the village, he walked straight to the house with the best house in the village.
Mu Chenghu came to the front of the house and saw a small child playing outside the yard.
"Child, can you tell me how to get to the village chief's house?" Mu Chenghu asked.
"Who are you, and what are you doing in my house?" The child looked at Mu Chenghu and asked a little guardedly.
Mu Chenghu looked at the child's vigilant appearance and said with some amusement: "I'm going to the village chief's house to find the village chief to do something, do you know how to go to the village chief's house?" ”
The child looked at Mu Chenghu again, and then shouted into the courtyard, "Grandpa, someone is looking for you." ”
The door creaked open, and an old man in his sixties stepped out of the courtyard.
"Young man, you'd better go quickly!" The old man glanced at Mu Chenghu's dark skin and crumpled clothes, and guessed that he had fled.
"Village chief, that's the case, I see that there are a lot of gourds in your village, so I want to ask you if you sell them?" Mu Chenghu asked straight to the point.
"That thing, it's not worth a lot of money. Take it if you want! The old man thought that this person was really impossible, so he would have the courage to enter the village!
"Village Chief, I want more. Can you help me ask if there are anyone else to sell? I give money. Mu Chenghu pleaded.
The old man looked at the young man in front of him, and thought to himself that it should be good that this kind of knot is not messed up.
The old man pondered for a while before he spoke, "How many of you are there, and how many do you need?" ”
"We have one or two hundred people, and we need a thousand pounds." Mu Chenghu made a rough calculation.
The old man thought for a moment and said, "More than a thousand catties, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." ”
"Village chief, as many as you can!" Mu Chenghu said.
"Okay, in an hour you will come to the entrance of the village and get it." The village chief said cheerfully.
Mu Chenghu saw that this matter had been completed, so he said goodbye to the village chief and returned to the outside of the village.
As soon as Mu Chenghu walked out of the village, he was surrounded by big guys.
"Chenghu, how did you talk about it in the village?" Mu Qingshan said eagerly.
"Uncle Thirteen, how do you know what I went to the village for?" Mu Chenghu said with some curiosity.
"What's so hard to guess about this, the grain we bought at the market last time will last us for two months at most, and this village seems to have enough food, isn't it normal for you to inquire?" Mu Qingshan said with a smile.
Mu Chenghu didn't expect that his mind was guessed by Mu Qingshan by seven or eight points, so he didn't hide it from everyone.
When everyone knew that the people in the village were willing to buy gourds for everyone, they felt a little incredible, after all, all the villages along the way avoided them like snakes and scorpions.
Mu Chenghu asked everyone to hurry up and relocate the things on the ox cart and vacate three ox carts to pull the gourds.
An hour later, Mu Chenghu came to the entrance of the village with three ox carts to meet the village chief.
"Housheng, these are the gourds that can be taken out in our village, you should hurry up and load them and go!" After the old man finished speaking, he asked a few young people behind him to help Mu Chenghu and a few people load the car.
With the combined efforts of the people on both sides, the gourds were quickly loaded.
"Hou Sheng, you still want beans, turnips and the like, no, I'll bring you some." An old woman asked, seeing that there was another ox cart that was still a long way off.
Mu Chenghu said happily, "Old man, we naturally want it." ”
As soon as Mu Chenghu's words were finished, he saw the women on the opposite side walking to the vegetable field next to him and began to pull vegetables.
Two quarters of an hour later, Mu Chenghu and the others looked at the cabbage and radish full of cabbage, and their hearts were very moved.
"Village chief, how much do these things cost." Mu Chenghu looked at the three carts full of things and asked excitedly.
"We originally used these gourds to feed the livestock, and as for those radishes and cabbage, you should know that our village is everywhere, so you don't need to take money." The old village chief said heartily.
"Well, these things are not valuable to you, but they are life-savers to us." Mu Chenghu said as he took out the ten taels of silver that the village had gathered.
"Put it away! You've got a lot of money to spend along the way!. The old village chief returned the silver to Mu Chenghu's hands and said.
Mu Chenghu could only give up when he saw this, and before leaving, Mu Chenghu said to the old village chief, "In the past few days, the weather is very stuffy, and it is estimated that it will rain heavily." It hasn't rained for more than two months, and I'm afraid it's going to be flooded. The terrain of your village is relatively low, and the water source is relatively abundant. You have to plan ahead. ”
"We'll be ready, so let's go! It wouldn't be nice if people from other villages could see it. The old village chief urged.
Mu Chenghu made a compilation of the old village chief, then turned around and beckoned a few people to drive the ox cart away.
Everyone in the camp was very happy to see Mu Chenghu and the others returning with a full load. When everyone learned about the righteous deeds of the people in the village, they all felt warm in their hearts and felt hope for the way forward.
