Zhao Lizheng frowned, and he didn't hide it from Lan Yi, and said directly, "What ideas can I have, but let us save water and dig deep into the well, don't take care of the crops this season, save water and wait for the mango to be planted and then watered." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoDon't think about rice this year, but also grow beans and millet to save water. However, Lord Tian specially told me that you can water the things in your slope as you want, and you don't need to save water. Is there still water in the draught well at home? ”

Lan Yi nodded, "And." ”

"Our area is not bad, in several villages in the north of the county, the water in the ditch is so shallow that the barrels can't be beaten." Zhao Lizheng sighed, "I think if it doesn't rain for another month, the water will definitely be cut off, and it will be a matter of time before the displaced people leave." The county also issued a death order, saying that no matter what, the villagers must be nailed, and not a single homeless person will be allowed, otherwise he will be severely punished. What's the use of punishing again, there is no water, you have to leave sooner or later, if you don't go, you will die. ”

There is no water, no food, and the people have to move their families in order to survive, how terrifying it will be when the time comes, there is no need for Zhao Lizheng to say that Lan Yi also knows. Zhao Lizheng saw that her face was not good, and comforted her, "I have touched the bottom, and the grain stored by each family in our village is enough for three or four months." Lord Liu went to Dengzhou again to ask for grain, as long as there is grain in the county granary, we don't have to panic, as long as the Huaxi water continues, we will definitely be able to get through. Wei Ji's daughter-in-law, you don't have to worry about anything else, just take care of the children and the family. The county said that we are here, and the rain will not come down for two or three months. In another month, if there is less water, you will take the children and let Shui Xiu and them escort you back to your parents' house, I will open the way for you, go to the yamen to stamp, there is a foundation of Wei Ji, it won't take much effort. ”

Lan Yi's heart warmed, nodded and thanked, and told Zhao Lizheng what Yu Bo said could lead water. Zhao Lizheng was excited when he heard it, "This is a good thing, a good thing!" When Lord Liu saw the bamboo pipe that your inn led water down from the mountain, he said that it was a good way to make good use of it. Why didn't I think of it, if I could divert water, it would be okay if I couldn't water the fields, just enough to drink! I went to ask Yu Bo and asked him to take him to the mountains to see how far it was, how many things should be used, and how much labor should be used. Labor is not a problem, there are a lot of idle people in our village, at most it is to cut bamboo, buy some glue, as long as the water can be brought over within a month, it will be in time. ”

Zhao Lizheng turned around twice, hurriedly said a few words to Lan Yi, and went out to the mountain to find Yu Bo. Lan Yi shook her head slightly, she really hadn't seen Zhao Li in such a hurry. She never thought that this was her home, and she would stay here and wait for Zhou Weiji to come back.

He'll be back soon!

As soon as Lan Yi got home and sat down, Xiao Qi came in a carriage, and when he came into the house on crutches and saw Lan Yi, his face was full of shame, "Sister-in-law on Tuesday, Shang Ji has so many things, why don't you tell me, it's all because of me that Lin Xi was injured." ”

Lan Yi asked people to serve tea, and also asked Cheng Rong, the old housekeeper who came with Xiao Qi, to sit down and rest, "It's not just because of you, besides, Cheng Zimu didn't ask for a bargain, don't worry, take care of your injuries." ”

Cheng Zimu really didn't get any bargain in Lan Yi's hands. Lan Yi and Xia Chongxiao plotted to let He Xu bring out the false news, saying that Shang Ji had an important batch of goods arrived at the wharf, and Cheng Zimu sent people to ambush him, robbed a few boxes of broken porcelain, and was pitted with 2,000 taels of silver. Cheng Zimu was angry, sent someone to set fire to the oil mill, and was caught by the bodyguards invited by Lan Yi, tied up and handed over to the yamen to treat the felony, although Cheng Zimu narrowly escaped, he was also scolded by the old man of the Cheng family and punished severely.

"That's not supposed to be hidden from me!" Xiao Qi only learned about these things today! While he was recuperating from his injuries, no one told him what was going on outside or at home! This made him angry, and he glanced at Cheng Rong complainingly.

Cheng Rong couldn't stop laughing and looked at Lan Yi for help. The Seventh Young Master was really angry this time, and the Fourth Lady and the Seventh Young Grandma couldn't persuade him, and they only hoped that Lan Yi would let him not be impulsive.

Lan Yi looked at Xiao Qi seriously and asked directly, "You know, what can you do?" Xiao Qi, don't you understand why everyone is hiding it from you? ”

Xiao Qi was dumbfounded, staring at Lan Yi's peach blossom pupils lost their brilliance, his shoulders drooped slightly, and his voice was full of unconfidence, "...... Sister-in-law, in your eyes, am I useless? ”

Seeing him like this, Lan Yi regretted that what he said just now was indeed heavy, "I have a bad temper recently, and I am also angry, not for you, don't think about it." ”

Xiao Qi shook his head slightly, "I'm very useless, because in my heart, I am afraid and disgusted with Cheng Zimu." Because ......"

Cheng Rong stood up in a panic, "Seventh Young Master......"

Xiao Qi raised his hand to stop him, "Uncle Rong, don't stop me, these things must be known to Sister-in-law Tuesday before you can take precautions, otherwise if something happens, I will regret it for the rest of my life." ”

The palms of both hands rubbed his face vigorously, Xiao Qi calmed down, raised his eyes to look at Lan Yi, and said, "Sister-in-law Tuesday, do you know how my sixth brother died, he drowned." When I was ten years old, I played peek-a-boo with someone, took a reed and hid it under the lotus leaves in the pond, and saw Cheng Zimu kick the sixth brother into the water and press his head to drown. You don't know how terrible the expression on his face was at that time, my sixth brother was struggling desperately in the water, and the water in the whole pond was shaking......"

Lan Yi was stunned.

Xiao Qi laughed again, but the laughter was worse than crying, "At that time, I didn't do anything, I just watched it." Later, I learned that the fifth brother was also killed by Cheng Zimu. ”

"Why, why did he kill them?" Lan Yi thought about the ten-year-old Xiao Qi's mood under the water, and asked in a daze.

"Because they are smart, well-read, and capable! Cheng Zimu was afraid that they would be taken seriously and robbed him of his things. Cheng Zimu is a devil, and the fifth brother is his half-father's brother-in-law! The expression on Xiao Qi's face is complicated and difficult to describe, where is there still a trace of sunshine on weekdays, "Sister-in-law on Tuesday, my mother asked me not to study hard, not to be too competitive, she guarded against Cheng Zimu day and night, just so that I could survive." Cheng Zimu saw that I didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, so he didn't do anything to me. In the past, there were two loyal girls beside me, but because they refused to listen to Cheng Zimu's words, he found an excuse and beat them to death! ”

Lan Yi is pregnant now, and she can't hear anything bloody, so she frowned, "He's like this, and no one in the Cheng family cares?" ”

Cheng Rong smiled bitterly, "The eldest young master killed the two maids, saying that it was because they climbed the master's bed unruly, which one can stop it?" The death of the sixth young master, except for the seventh young master, no one knows the truth at all, how can it be traced to him. Even if they say it, no one will believe it! ”

Xiao Qi raised his head, his eyes full of determination, "Sister-in-law Zhou, in his eyes, other people's lives are not lives, and if you don't like it, you have to get rid of it." Now that you're with him, you can't be ruthless with him, you take a step back, just take Yu'er, and leave the rest to me. Don't worry, he won't kill me, he has to keep me to contrast his excellence. Not only that, but he also had to be doubly nice to me and let people know how much he cared for his younger brother! ”
