"Okay, you let her keep it first. In the past few years, we have also saved some food. As long as you can survive this disaster and take it all out, there is no problem. If it causes a riot, not to mention the loss of life and money, I am afraid that he will also lack skills. I heard that there are already people in the capital who are making a fuss about this. I hope that God will rain soon. ”
Du Yi knew that Ziyi City was busy, and he was really busy. There's not much she can do, and there's a little she can share for him. As long as Fengcheng does not riot, Crescent Town and other places do not riot. No matter how Zi Yifeng beats, it can't make a big difference. If he raises troops at this time, then they are not afraid, at least they will still have a chance of winning.
I don't know how Yu Ziheng and the original ones have arranged. I hope everything is safe and there are no accidents.
"Miss, when the slave went back before, I always felt that our Liujia Village, no, it should be said that it was Crescent Town, centered on Liujia Village, was much wetter than other places. There was no rain either, but the trees were still alive, and the water from the wells and rivers had been relatively low. ”
Dui's eyes flashed when he heard this. She had doubts about the mangosteen before, but now the green willow said it again. Could it be that there is an underground river over there, and it is not small?
At first, she just wondered if there was a hot spring or something. But if it's a dark river, it can also be explained. If that's the case, that's for the best.
Crescent Town is not small, if you dig up the dark river, you can at least solve the center of Crescent Town, a few big cities around. Whether it's true or not, try it to find out.
Do what you want, and in the confusion of Green Willow, Doe has already written the note. Immediately summoned Bai Mei again: "Send this letter to Ziyi City as quickly as possible." Baimei, you arrange for some people to go back to Liujia Village, I think there is more water there than anywhere else. If there is a dark river, and it is many and big, more than half of the people of our Purple Moon Country will be saved. As long as you get through this time, you'll be fine! ”
Du Yi was a little emotional, and he couldn't wait to go back in person. But for such a thing, it is not good for her to come forward, whether it is Zi Yicheng, Yu Ziheng or Ling Yuanfan, they are all more suitable than her. However, it would be best if Ziyi City could send someone to go there in person.
"Yes, Miss!" Bai Mei's excitement is restrained, if there is really a dark river, and it is in Crescent Town, I believe that Crescent Town will become the third largest city in the Purple Moon Country in less than two years.
It was five days after Zi Yicheng received the message, and before he could recruit someone, Ling Yuanfan asked someone to send him a letter. said that he was going to help, and asked him to send someone to follow closely.
With the hope of Ziyi City, let Xunying recall the people and rush them all to Crescent Town, and at the same time breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Whether it's true or not, at least there is hope.
Besides, Erlang and his group traveled day and night, which originally took seven or eight days, but it only took four days to arrive. Before I arrived in Crescent Town, I saw that the sky was overcast, and the people I occasionally met on the road were all full of smiles.
On this day, it looks like it's going to rain. Compared to the fact that the fields of the people in other places have dried up, the relative situation in Crescent Town is much better. As long as it rains, it will be harvested within five days.
Meizhen had tears in her eyes, and the scene she saw along the way made her feel sad and unbearable. Now that it's going to rain in Crescent Town, many people know what it means.
"Sister, it's going to rain. It's going to rain, and everyone is saved! Meizhen, who was emotional, held Xiaobao and Liniang's hands tightly, and tears were dripping down.
The wind was blowing gently, and the humidity in the air was getting thicker and thicker because it was going to rain. When the carriage arrived at Liujia Village, I saw that people from every household, regardless of men, women and children, were all standing outside, with a deep sense of joy on their faces.
"Erlang, are you back? Great, it's going to rain! Tie Niu saw Erlang jumping down from the carriage, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder without saying a word, and the smile on his face was even bigger than when he married Peach Blossom.
Su Shi, who was not far away, muttered in his mouth: "This rain must be begged by Peach Blossom." The previous people really didn't deceive people, no, you have to let Peach Blossom continue to ask for rain, ask for more! ”
Peach Blossom stood beside her with her stomach up, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but have a black line on her head. Where and where is this? If she just muttered a few words back and forth, it would work, and the people of the entire Purple Moon Country would have heard it a long time ago, so why didn't it rain?
Because it was going to rain, everyone's mood was extremely happy. The master simply didn't go to class, and gave everyone half a day off. As soon as Xiaohuzi saw that his father and mother were back, he was so happy that he ran forward and shouted: "Daddy, Xiaobao, auntie, you are back, my grandfather and I miss you very much!" ”
As soon as Xiaobao heard the words of the eldest brother, he let go of the hand he was holding and struggled to get off the carriage: "Brother, Xiaobao misses you so much." Xiao Shuai said that he also misses his brother! ”
When everyone saw the young brothers talking, they didn't feel the slightest abruptness, and they took it for granted.
The carriage had already stopped, Meizhen led Liniang to get out of the car, and after hugging Xiaobao down, she walked to Peach Blossom: "Peach Blossom, it's windy outside, why did you come out?" ”
Mi-jin and Peach Blossom have the best relationship, and when they see Peach Blossom getting happiness, they feel happy in their hearts. She is about the same age as Peach Blossom, and she also wants to find a good man to marry. However, she couldn't let go of her sister and the two children. Xiaobao is not four years old now, and although her sister is a little better, she is sometimes good and sometimes bad, which makes people really uneasy.
"It's rare that there is no sun today, so I go out for a walk. It's a coincidence that you're back, it's going to rain soon. Peach Blossom's face was full of smiles.
"Sister-in-law, go to my room and sit down!"
Liniang's mind at the moment is clear, but she is only seven or eight years old. didn't react much to Peach Blossom and her name. Just pointed to her stomach and said, "There's a little doll here?" ”
"Yes, there's a little doll here. It's like when my sister-in-law gave birth to Xiaobao and Huzi, it's the same! Peach Blossom took Liniang's hand, and followed the two brothers Su Meizhen and Xiaobao into the house.
Meizhen said: "Peach blossom, auntie, can we make wine this year?" How's the stomach going? Are all those cans packed? If you need my help, just say it. ”
Duyi's industry, Meizhen has never touched, but she knows that there are some. In previous years, when everyone was busy, she took Xiaoshuai Xiaobao and Huzi and others, and when they had free time, they did laundry and cooking, and helped share the burden. Thinking that Du Yi has not come back now, and this year's situation is special, he asked.
Her question surprised Peach Blossom. After all, in the past few years, Meizhen has kept what she said back then, and tried her best to take care of her sister and two children. Nothing else, she had never touched. This trip out, I became a little like the hard-working, enthusiastic and kind little girl at the beginning.
"It's all arranged, you're tired of coming back all the way, right? Why don't you take a break? If you're not tired, can you tell me about the situation outside? ”
Peach Blossom has always listened to others, but what she said, over and over again, is just a few words. Now that there are ready-made people, how can she let them go.
Mi-jin's eyes turned red as soon as she remembered the situation outside. Taking a deep breath, he spoke: "We came back from Fengshan Village, and we could see people everywhere along the way. It's the kind of person who is gray-faced and extremely embarrassed. They hadn't drunk a drop of water for a long time, and they heard that they were the ones who came out of the house because they couldn't survive at all. Peach blossoms, I'm afraid you can't imagine that their mouths are cracked open. The child cried because he was thirsty. As a mother, there is no way, and I can only cry with her. They don't know where they're going, they don't know where there's water to keep them alive...... If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I don't think I'd ever know in my life that we were nothing in the face of those disasters. If you have money, you can't buy water to drink. ”
As Mi-jin spoke, her tears were dripping down. It's not that she didn't think about taking out water to save those who were dying, but whenever she had this thought, she was put up with it. She remembered that Doe said that on the way back, don't take things out because you can't bear it.
You saved people, and they just thank you. But as soon as you stop and take the water out, more and more people will surround you. In the end, you are robbed of everything and you become a pitiful person in the eyes of others. It's good to have compassion and love, but sometimes that compassion can be bad.
It was precisely because of Du Yi's words that she didn't dare to let herself get her things back, even if she couldn't bear it anymore, or watched those people die in front of her.
Meizhen's words made people's hearts extremely heavy when they listened to them. They knew that it would be a difficult time, and they knew that many people would die in this disaster.
But that picture, they can't imagine. Except for Meizhen herself, all of those present are mothers. Even if the peach blossom baby has not yet been born, but the mother's love, when she hears the child like that, she can't do anything, so that she is pregnant, she is more emotional, and she cries breathlessly.
"Peach Blossom, don't cry, Tie Niu will come back in a while, and it should be distressed again!" Brother Zhao didn't know when, but he also came here. Seeing the peach blossom's appearance, he hurriedly persuaded him.
"Ah, it's raining. Peach blossom, don't cry, look, it's raining. As soon as it rains, they will be saved, saved! As soon as Mi-jin turned her head and saw the gloomy sky with raindrops dripping down, she screamed happily.
The rain fell faster and faster, and after a while, it became a downpour. Faintly, you can still see many people walking in the rain, screaming and jumping happily. There are also some families who take out the pots and pans at home to collect water.
Although they all know that there is no shortage of water now, everyone knows that there are many people in other places who are really waiting for this water to save their lives. The people of Liujia Village have already decided. We need to transport the water we have stored at home to other places to save others. No matter how much water there is, it is one that can save one.
Before the village chief could speak, everyone spontaneously gathered at the door of the ancestral hall, and they wanted to tell the village chief that they would contribute water. Perhaps, what Mi-jin said infected them, or maybe they listened to Erlang's heavy voice and told about the situation outside. In short, no one wants to look at those people outside, dying of thirst.
The village chief was invited by Yinniu, and when he saw the villagers standing in the rain in front of the ancestral hall, he was very pleased. He has been the village chief for more than 20 years, and in the past, the villagers often came to him for trivial things.
Now everyone is negotiating, not involving major matters, and they are all negotiated and resolved by themselves. The baby in the village is also becoming more and more sensible. The villagers are also becoming more and more industrious, and their small lives are also very prosperous.
He saw all these changes. Why this has changed, and who has changed after coming, he naturally knows in his heart. Now that he sees the villagers and cares about others, he feels that he is more comfortable as the village chief than the one in the county ya.
"Village chief, there is no shortage of water here now, we want to give the stored at home to people in other places, can you arrange for someone to deliver it?" The crowd didn't know if it was such a sentence, and everyone responded.
"Yes, village chief, we have this idea too. Their days are not good, since we have water here, let's give them some! ”
"Village chief, I'm willing to deliver water, I'll sign up for one!"
"Village Chief, I'm willing too!"
……
When the village chief saw that he was still speaking, those people automatically and spontaneously settled the matter. She was even very pleased that the list of people who were going to bring water had been set.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
People who come to buy things in Liujia Village can see a very surprising scene. The crowd gathered around the door of the ancestral hall, and they did not go in, but they were drenched in the rain.
Some curious people walked up to take a look, but heard the village chief's voice say, "I'm glad you can think of bringing water to people in other places." I heard that our entire Purple Moon Country is in a severe drought right now. When it rains here, we have water, so it doesn't hurt to send them some. At least it can alleviate their drought and save some people. But this can't only be done by the people of our Liujia Village, after all, we have few people. Later, I will go to the yamen and ask the adults what they mean, and it would be best if they could arrange for everyone in every village to send some water! In addition, if you are going to deliver water, I will arrange for someone to harvest your family's fields. ”
After all, the village chief thinks a lot, as he said, Liujia Village has few people and can send it limited. It would be best if the yamen raised this matter and called on the people from all villages to come, and then there were officers and soldiers to escort it.
"Then the village chief, hurry up and ask the town, the people who are suffering outside can't wait that long. If we don't wait a quarter of an hour, we can save a few more lives! ”
The village chief went to the yamen wearing wet clothes, which was a great merit and a springboard for his performance appraisal in the coming year, and the one in the yamen would not agree.
Even if he didn't say it, Ziyi City would definitely send someone here. Therefore, a reply was quickly received, and then every household in Crescent Town began to be busy, each household loaded with a large amount of water, and each sent a person to follow the people of the yamen to send water to various places.
The people of Ziyi City were on the way when they met the person who went to deliver water, and they were even more happy to learn that it was raining there. As long as there is water in one place, in addition to transporting water, if you can dig a dark river, you can dig it up and divert the water to other places, which can alleviate the situation in one place. As long as this period of time has passed, it will be much better when it gets cold.
When Du Yi learned that the entire town of Crescent Town had done their best to help alleviate the drought in various parts of the Purple Moon Country, the heart that hung high was relieved.
