Chapter 229: Saving the Year of Famine (18)

"Folks, what are you doing here?"

The eldest one, the second one, and the third child hurriedly picked up these people.

This old old, the young, such an old person kneels down for them, they can't stand it.

The old man led by the old man was in tears, holding the hands of the boss, the second, and the third, which was a bitter begging.

"Son, please save us, save the old and the young in this village!"

"Old man, if you have something to say, we can say it well, don't be like this."

The boss glanced at his mother, although he said that he was the eldest in the family and should be the pillar, but it was his mother who wanted to be kind, after all, this kindness was not something they could send if they wanted to.

If the gods are angry, then they don't even have water.

The boss secretly guessed in his heart, it is difficult to become a fairy and pity others!

How can this fairy patronize and take care of his wife, everyone in this village is like this.

Look at the old and the young are no different from the way they were.

Could it be that his mother is a relative of the gods?

Of course, because of the nourishment of the recent period, they have indeed grown a lot of meat under the nourishment of his mother's Erhe noodles steamed buns and corn porridge. At least it doesn't look as scary as it was when I was on the road.

Mrs. Zhang motioned for her son to help them all into the courtyard and sit down.

In this weather, everyone is sitting in the courtyard, and everyone is sitting.

As soon as the old man looked at the boss's eyes, he understood that this old lady was in charge of this family.

"Big sister, to tell you the truth, I am the head of this village, to put it bluntly, there has been no one in this village for a long time, there was a drought this year, and it was still a drought last year. Every family in this village has gone wherever they can have relatives.

The rest of us, the old ones, really can't walk, and we don't want to drag them down with young people.

In addition, when I was young, I escaped from the famine with my parents, and I knew that there were people who died on the way to escape the famine. It is not necessary to escape the famine to survive, rather than die outside, it is better to die here, after all, the homeland is difficult to leave.

to die, and to die in your own home.

We can die, but look at this thing, how old is it, and a child of a few years is starving to death and dying of thirst.

Big sister, we didn't know you were capable people. You have such a great ability, so save the whole village.

You saved the big guy, the big guy will definitely give you the immortal tablet at home, and our ancestors have been cattle and horses for generations to repay your kindness. ”

The old man burst into tears and pushed the children out, with his own grandson, who was only 5 years old but now skinny.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the people in the whole village again, and indeed the old and young looked like walking bones now.

If this continues, in fact, they did not come to this village, and these people may not be able to survive.

"Okay, don't talk about it, no matter how you say it, we can be regarded as a fate, we are running away from the desert and walking on the road, but we also want to find a place to settle down, and we just walked to your village and thought that this place is good, so we stay here.

Since we have settled here, we are also our own people, since it is our own people, it makes no sense, we have our own water to drink, and you have no water to drink.

Boss, second, third, don't talk about anything else, didn't you find a spring in the mountain? Go and cut down the bamboo, and bring the spring to the village, and connect it to the wheat field at the entrance of the village, and build a platform with a stone, and the bamboo will be there, and when the time comes, the big guy will be able to draw water at the entrance of the village.

And since my brother has water, no matter what, in order to survive, he still has to plant something at this time, and he can live with this water to some extent, relying on the turf and tree roots, when is it a head! ”

You can't really watch so many people die, Mrs. Zhang has to do this.

The eldest and the second and third were wondering there, but they didn't dare to ask themselves when the old lady would have a spring on the mountain?

How they don't know!

But the old lady said that there was, and naturally there was.

They can only wait for a while and then ask the old lady, so many people are naturally not good to ask here.

The old man led the whole village to kneel down again.

Mrs. Zhang helped people up.

"This big brother, don't keep kneeling, you kneel like this, you say this is not my birthday! Don't talk about anything else, I asked my sons to quickly catch the water, and the big guy boiled it again, and I guess it would be almost possible to go on when it got dark. ”

The old and the young also wanted to help, but none of them had eaten enough, and they were shaking when they walked, let alone let them help.

Don't faint for a while, and do a disservice.

Mrs. Zhang sent people back and took her three sons up the mountain again, in fact, there are two springs on the mountain, but this spring, because it is far away, so she doesn't want to toss her son.

But there is no way at this time, it is not possible to toss it, and the labor force of their family is the strongest.

However, with the experience of the last time, the eldest and the second, the third and third people can move much faster this time, and the three people cooperate tacitly, two people go to cut bamboo, one person lays stones here, and then the bamboo goes directly on.

When it was dark, a bamboo pipe was picked up from the wheat field, and a round pond was built with stones, and the bamboo tube was inside, and as long as the plug was removed, water could flow immediately.

Although the old and young in the village could not help, they were reluctant to go back, and they heard that they had to go to the wheat field to get water pipes, so they all gathered here and waited.

When the water came out, how many people pounced on it and drank it happily, regardless of whether the water was raw or not, whether it was ripe or not, whether there were bacteria or not, mainly because of the muddy water that they were used to, this kind of spring water, which was like a rain for them.

The night was uneasy for the whole village.

The village chief took the whole village to have a small meeting, and in the past, everyone was hungry and bored, so how could they have time to sit together and talk.

To put it bluntly, it's not that there is water today, everyone seems to have a little energy, at least there is hope to live.

"Big cow, we are a few old people in our village, count, just our 5 old guys with these little cubs want to live, the old lady is right, we must hurry up and plant, although it is a little late now, the grain may not be harvested."

But even if we plant some vegetables and fruits, it is better than our final harvest.

Whether we can survive this winter or not depends on ourselves.

We still have some seeds in our family, all of them are some radish and cabbage or something, don't dislike the big guys, plant a small piece of each family, anyway, there are only a few people in the family, make do with it, make do with it this winter, and it will be good next year.

We have water now, as long as we have more food, we will definitely be able to get through this disaster year, and besides, there is still a lot of grass roots and bark on our mountain, which is enough for us to make do with it. ”

Everyone nodded, they were all old people, and naturally knew that it would be much easier to get through the year with water.

Anyway, although it is more than a month to miss the planting period, it is definitely not possible to catch up with the food, but there is no problem with planting vegetables and pumpkins, a variety of pumpkins, it is estimated that they will be harvested in the autumn and will be able to survive this winter.
