The weather outside is getting hotter and hotter day by day.

Wu Guifang used to run a supermarket, and she still had a few thermometers in her hands.

She measures during the day and at night.

The temperature of the weather outside, she also quietly took a notebook and a pen and wrote them down.

The highest temperature outside during the day can reach 47 degrees Celsius.

At night, although there is a mountain wind to cool down, the high temperature of more than 30 degrees still makes people unbearable.

Especially this kind of prefabricated house, there is no ventilation at all. The heat is dead.

I saw that the water level in the lake was also slowly decreasing. The dirt on the ground began to blow up big cracks, and Wu Guifang asked the people in the family to go fishing every day.

She was now terribly worried that they would run out of food after the drought.

It is very likely that he personally felt her kind of anxiety, Wu Hongsheng took the people at home out every morning, when it was not yet dawn.

Moreover, in order to avoid heat stroke during the day and being exposed to the sun, they have now changed their schedules.

During the day, he hid in the house and slept. When it came to the sky outside, when it was slowly getting dark, they took the tools of the hunt and went out to hunt. Or quickly run to the lake and make pottery from the silt of the lake.

After the things have been dried for more than ten days, they can be burned over a large fire.

More than 40 people in the Wu family are busy every day.

Even if they are pregnant, they need to work every day. Otherwise, there will be no food.

And Wu Guifang now, she feels that she is about to be driven crazy by such a life.

Because the snakes, insects, rats and ants on this mountain are really too poisonous.

Especially the big mosquitoes on this mountain.

One bite is a lump of bag.

When she slept at night, all she heard was the mosquitoes, buzzing there.

Particularly annoying.

Although Wu Guifang has installed a mosquito net for herself, she also gives her current cheap husband, don't do that. However, every time she heard those harsh humming sounds, she still felt uncomfortable.

Sleeping in a place like a stove every day, no electric fan, no air conditioner, no air conditioner, no refrigerator. There is no modern equipment, and Wu Guifang feels that this summer is particularly sad.

The temperature is already very high now. It's almost unbearable.

Humans who live in the mountains, feel the current temperature, and people who are hot can't stand it.

The animals that live on the mountain can't stand it anymore.

It's too hot.

Because the temperature is so hot, many animals on the mountain hide during the day. They are too lazy to move.

Either that, or just go to the lake and drink water.

During the day, Wu Hongsheng sometimes sleeps, sometimes stays at home with men, goes hunting by the lake, and looks for opportunities or something.

They are a big family, and they are busy every day. Before I knew it, half a month had passed.

It's the end of July.

July and August are the hottest days of the year.

Wu Hongsheng called some of the men in the family to get on the boat. Prepare for fishing.

The lake is still quite deep in the place where they are fishing now.

Moreover, there are some fish in it, which are particularly ferocious. Although Wu Hongsheng is very good at water.

However, he still didn't dare to take that risk, so he went straight down and swam inside.

He fished on the lake, and in one day, he and his children caught more than 100 fish.

Of these fish, there are more than one meter long and some more than two meters long.

Moreover, he also caught several water snakes.

However, as long as it is food, he will not refuse to come.

……

When the sun went down, he called his children and grandchildren to row back together.

As soon as they got home, Wu Guifang told him, "Brother Hongsheng, the old rules!" ”

"Kill them all now. The entrails are all taken out. The scales are all scraped. I'm going to cook them. ”

In order to prepare for the future meal, they are a big family, and they are busy like this every day.

There is no day when you can rest.

Wu Guifang's hands now have a lot of animal fat fried oil.

When Wu Guifang cooks every day, she is very willing.

Ask everyone in the family to chop all the fish into minced pieces and make fish balls, and everyone in the Wu family is very hard when they do these things.

Even if it is Ma Cuihua, she is very hardworking.

Because Wu Guifang spoke at the beginning.

In this family, whoever makes the most fish balls will be able to eat more.

……

Just when the Wu family was busy all day and night for a few rations for their own rations, a major event suddenly appeared in Gaofeng City, the county seat where they were located.

The county magistrate of this county, that is, Wang Xinren, who has just taken office, will also pay grain in July and August!

Although the imperial court already knew that the county seat under his jurisdiction had a flood some time ago.

Many villages have been washed away.

However, the money that should be paid by the county order still has to be paid. The grain that should be paid still has to be paid.

Originally, Wang Xinren was like other county magistrates, in the face of this situation, he could find the people of the whole county, squeeze it, pick it, squeeze it.

After all, no matter how lean the meat is, after squeezing it dozens of times, it can actually squeeze out some oil.

However, Wang Xinren, the county magistrate, did not do good things himself.

When he first took office, he took matters into his own hands and asked his subordinates to directly tie up and drag out some ordinary people in the county who had no foundation.

Selling good is cheap, this is the most normal thing in this era.

The one above also opened one eye and closed one.

After all, if you want to be a good official and make a fortune, if you don't, what should you do?

The poor ghosts in the county were all sold.

It's all exchanged for money.

Then, Wang Xinren, as the county magistrate, has to pay the taxes stipulated by the imperial court in a timely manner, and if there is food, he must pay out of his own pocket.

Of course, in such a situation, he can also choose to attack those rich and powerful families in the county.

However, the strong dragon can't overpower the ground snake.

How could these rich and wealthy people be willing to be the meat on his chopping block?

Wang Xinren is aware of this, and he has been grumpy for a while now.

The weather was already very hot, and he had been hiding in the backyard of the county government for half a month.

At this point, he doesn't want to go out and deal with those rich and powerful people.

He doesn't want to go out and deal with people, but some dogs around him are anxious about him every day.

For example, the younger brothers of Wang Xinren's wife. Zhao Mingde, Zhao Minghui, these two brothers.

They only need to think that if their brother-in-law can't collect enough of the taxes distributed by the court in the first year of his tenure. Then, he will definitely not pass the assessment in the second year.
