Chapter Eighty-Eight: Prepare Early

At present, the only source of food for the villagers of Aozi Village is to eat the old books brought out by the family, and there are also sweet potatoes rewarded by Master Lu.

From the perspective of the system's reward mechanism, it is impossible for that guckoo machine to be used frequently.

And after having a good water source, some villagers began to float, in the past, their own water was saved to eat, and the family did not dare to think about the word 'water' from morning to night, and only drank it as a last resort.

Now that the village has 'discovered' a water source, everyone wants to wait to achieve the freedom of drinking water, and no longer save as much as before.

So this seemingly stable bubble will burst sooner or later.

Of course, Ding Gui supports his daughter's idea: If there are still people living in Wo County, how can we do some small business, and this day can be regarded as a hope! ”

Ding Xiaodie pointed to the map and said, "The most important thing is that there are villages along the road for dozens of miles, so we can rest while walking." ”

On such a hot day, it doesn't matter if there is a water source or not, walking fifty miles with just a pair of feet will kill people.

So it is obvious that this time I went to Wo County to investigate, only a part of the people could go, and the whole village could not be involved, otherwise the elderly and children would not be able to survive at all.

The stakes are very high, and if you want to go, you have to leave early, but you must discuss it with the village chief of Laifu.

That night, Ding Xiaodie and her parents went to the village chief's house in Laifu under the pretext of seeing the ancestors.

The water was distributed once before this evening, and now the villagers of Aozi Village are very relieved.

I have food and water to drink, why are I worried?

Now the adults are talking and laughing in the streets, and the children are happily playing hide and seek, not thinking about what to do tomorrow at all.

But in fact, this matter is also a headache, he thinks long-term, and he has long thought that sooner or later he will not be able to hold on.

Hearing that Ding Gui's father and daughter said their thoughts, they also took out the map and spread it on the ground to show him; "This matter can't be delayed, if we really want to find the next place to stay, we have to send someone to investigate as soon as possible."

"But fifty miles is not close, and no one dares to guarantee that they will not encounter desert soldiers on this road." Rifle was a little undecided.

On the contrary, the ancestor who was listening on the side interjected: "It's a good thing to take precautions, but it's really too difficult to walk, so it's better to discuss with the Lu family." ”

Speaking of the Lu family, there is an embarrassing problem in front of us.

When Master Lu Yan left, he said that he wanted the people of their Aozi Village to protect the Lu family, and it would only take ten days to come and go, but now that they have been on off for several days, of course the people in Aozi Village can protect the Lu family.

It's just that after the expiration of half a month, if Master Lu and Young Master Lu have not returned, and the villagers have not eaten, the Lu family will be reluctant to raise tigers instead.

Although Miao Daxing, the troublemaker in the village, has been driven out, but the hearts of the people are separated from each other, and no one dares to guarantee that others will not have this idea.

Right now, Ding Xiaodie and Ding Gui are thinking about finding the next foothold, which is actually to disperse the hidden dangers for the Lu family.

But at the same time, whether it will make the Lu family feel that they are a little treacherous, it depends on what Mrs. Lu and Second Young Master Lu think.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Old Ancestor sighed: "When you go to the Lu family, don't hide anything, just tell Mrs. Lu what you think, she is the mother of the Lu family, she is not ordinary people, and her mind will not be as narrow as you think." ”

Listening to the words of the ancestor, Ding Xiaodie came to his senses, isn't it, the best way is to be sincere, so that there will be no misunderstanding in it.

After everyone thought about it, they went to Lu's house the next day.

Naturally, when talking about things, it was Laifu who talked to Mrs. Lu, and Ding Gui stood aside as an escort to listen, while Ding Xiaodie was surrounded by those little girls, peeling oranges for her and bringing her cakes to eat.

Because Lu Xingluo is now the only male in the family, he has to pretend to be serious and sit in the same row with his mother, and listen carefully to the words of the village chief, in fact, his eyes have already glanced at Ding Xiaodie several times.

I can't wait to chat with her, but it's important to get down to business.

Sure enough, Mrs. Lu, as the ancestor said, was even a little moved after listening to Laifu's sincere conversation; "The old man really didn't look at the wrong person, he once said when he was about to go out that the village chief of Laifu is a trustworthy person."

The village chief of Laifu lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "Mrs. Lu praised me, I just have a life that likes to worry." ”

Mrs. Lu suddenly asked at this time, "Xingluo, how do you think this matter will be resolved?" ”

It seems that he wants to ask Lu Xingluo to take the idea, which is deliberately refining him.

Ding Xiaodie, who had been listening to the movement here, also stopped playing with those young ladies, and she was also curious about what Lu Xingluo would say.

I saw Lu Xingluo put away the mischievous expression in his expression and said: "It's a pity that my father went to the provincial capital to take a shortcut and didn't pass through Wo County, otherwise when he saw the situation there, he would definitely write back, but ...... Judging from the villages that my father passed through a few days ago, everything he said in his letter was not very good, and after they set out, they even passed through many villages, and there were almost no people, and the water source could not be found, and the situation was similar to that of our Yangliu Town.

I'm worried that the same is true in Wo County, and when the time comes, the people who go out to investigate will have to go in vain, otherwise, our Lu family will naturally fully support it, and we will provide the dry food on the road ourselves, as well as knives, and we can also give some. ”

"Thank you, Second Young Master! Thank you, ma'am. ”

It's already very good that the Lu family can support these two things, and both Laifu and Ding Gui bowed deeply and thanked them enough.

Ding Xiaodie also hurriedly saluted.

Mrs. Lu said: "I naturally fully support what Luo'er decides, if the master doesn't send those thieves this time, I can still provide you with horses, but now there is only a batch of horses in the house, we ......"

"Madam and Second Young Master are already very grateful for being able to give dry food and weapons, and the matter of horses must never be mentioned, besides, this distance of fifty miles, if you don't eat or drink along the way, you will only waste a good horse in vain."

Ding Xiaodie couldn't help it, her little face tense and she stood up to speak, although she was small, but she was full of words.

The horse in Lu Mansion must have been Lu Xingluo's, and it was also the only tool for their mother and son to escape when something happened, if they even wanted this, would they still be human?

After hearing Fluttershy's words, Ding Gui and Rifle quickly say sorry words.

Mrs. Lu smiled and pressed her hand, so much so that she looked at Ding Xiaodie with surprise in her eyes and beckoned: "Fluttershy, come here, don't stand so far, you kid, you are so smart and cute." ”
