Chapter 66: Just Because This Is My Well!

From this day on, almost all the young and old of the Li family changed their schedules.

Jiayin sleeps completely during the day, and has been guarding the wellhead to release water at night.

The old lady naturally had to accompany her, and the whole family was constantly pulling water and watering it.

It's boring and hard work.

But no one in the Li family complained.

Compared to when I was outside the Saiwai, the whole family fled the famine.

There is always a danger of being cut off by the barbarians.

Compared to the desperation of that night at the pier.

Such hard work is only hard work.

But the heart is steady!

They are fighting for life and doing their best.

The villagers came to Li's house every day to fetch water, silently watching the Li family do "useless work".

Some of them also want to fetch water to water the ground.

But there is no car at home, and carrying water overnight is just a watering ridge.

This thought about it was also given up instantly.

As the days passed, the mountains and forests had turned yellow for the most part.

If you stand in the sun and gasp, you will be burned.

Outside the village, the river began to dry up, and the wells in the villages dried up.

Those who had relatives in the city began to flee to the city.

If you don't have relatives in the city, you drag your family and go farther into the mountains.

There are also many people who defect to Shimizu Village.

Not to mention it at all, they disliked this village before.

The reason is the well of the Li family.

It dries up from time to time, but it always fills up quickly.

Each family is not greedy, there is a bucket a day, and the children and the elderly should not be thirsty.

If you can boil a pot of porridge again, you won't die of hunger.

But when there are too many people, there will always be some chaos.

Originally, there were more than a dozen families in the village, and they all lined up to fetch water.

There are more than 20 outdoor villages, and they always quarrel and grab water.

The village chief couldn't see it, so he came to Li's house every day to preside over the distribution.

Some people from other villages not only want their families to drink, but also take care of their livestock.

So, I wanted to fetch two more buckets of water.

Of course everyone disagrees, there is only so much water.

Whoever makes two more buckets may run out of water at the end of the line.

And the well doesn't know when there will be water again, and there is no pattern at all.

The people from the other villages who were stopped were not happy and shouted.

"Aren't you bullying people?

Fetch two more buckets of water, and you won't let you.

Then the Li family also pulls water to water the crops, why don't you say it?

Why! ”

The courtyard, because of these words, suddenly fell silent.

Mrs. Li sat in the shade of the eaves with her granddaughter in her arms.

Jiayin has lost a lot of weight these days, and his little face is a little pale.

Mrs. Li was already distressed, and she couldn't help.

When she heard such words, she was furious.

"Why? It's just that this is my well!

At such a time, letting you fetch water is to look at the affection of the villagers.

It's not you who owe it!

Our well, not to mention that we draw water for water.

It's just splashed in the yard for nothing, and it's okay if you don't let you fight.

Why, you still have to find the government to arrest us.

Have we broken the law?

What a big face! ”

The old lady is always smiling in the village on weekdays.

Suddenly scolding people with such a cold face really surprised everyone.

But soon, Aunt Wu and Second Sister-in-law Sun were all helpers.

"That is, drinking other people's water, I still have to listen to you.

Who are you, county master! ”

"If you have the ability, don't come to live in our village, borrow your house and share your water.

It can't help like this, white-eyed wolf! ”

The people from the other village were scolded with a red face and a thick neck, and they wanted to leave but were reluctant.

In the end, I could only stand at the end of the line.

Everyone fetched water in turn, one bucket per person, but it was barely enough.

Just as everyone was walking out, there was a mountain path not far from Li's house.

Suddenly there was a puff of smoke and dust, and three or four large wild boars ran down.

Behind them, they chased after Uncle Zhao and shouted loudly.

"Kill them, they will destroy our crops!"

It turned out that Uncle Zhao couldn't help with watering at night.

They took the initiative to look at the work in the fields.

They work in shifts day and night, for fear that the wild beasts of the mountains will plague the crops.

Not quite, there are really wild boars who have taken a fancy to the Li family's land.

Today, they came together to fight the tooth sacrifice.

Uncle Zhao watched it closely, and soon found out and knocked on the copper basin to drive it away.

The wild boar was frightened and ran straight to the village.

Everyone screamed in fright and dodged one after another, where did they dare to fight the wild boar.

At this time, Li Laosi climbed out of the courtyard wall directly.

Carrying a wooden stick with the thickness of his arm, he shone on the head of the leader of the wild boar.

The big wild boar screamed, his brain burst, and he fell directly to the ground.

Jiayi squeezed out of the gate and took a step slower.

He was also in a hurry and jumped on the back of a wild boar.

He drew the dagger and pierced it into the boar's eye.

The wild boar suddenly went blind, thundered, and went on a rampage.

was pulled out of the dagger by Jiayi and wiped his neck again.

Seeing this, the village chief shouted to the villagers to hurry up and help trap the remaining two slightly smaller wild boars.

Li Laosi also poured out his hand, and went down with two sticks, completely quiet.

Pig's blood and pig's brain splattered all over him, looking extremely fierce.

The person from the other village who was scolded before was still a little angry.

At this time, he directly shrunk his neck, honestly, and did not dare to breathe.

Don't mess with the Li family, the son and grandson of the Li family are too fierce.

His skull is not as hard as a wild boar...

Everyone was shocked, but at this time, they were ecstatic when they saw the fat pigs all over the ground.

"Haha, there's pork to eat!"

"yes, it's really a meat delivery."

"Fortunately, the fourth child and Jiayi are at home, otherwise it would be a bad thing."

"The mountains look very dry, and the wild boars have run down."

"Whatever it is, we've got pork to eat!"

The village chief stepped forward to see that several wild boars were really dead.

He thought about it and said to Mrs. Li.

"Big sister, what do you think of this wild boar?"

Mrs. Li's heart turned around a few times, and she also had an idea.

Four wild boars, all left at home, it is not good to give them to the people in the village at all.

But it's all divided, and she can't bear it.

So, she said.

"The big one at the two ends was sent to the city to be sold.

Get the money and give it to my family to read.

The remaining two small ones are more tender.

The village chief is in charge and gives everyone a point.

It's all a little fishy to satisfy the children's cravings. ”

The village chief also thought the same way, and hurriedly responded.

"Okay, then I'll thank our family on behalf of everyone."

The crowd was not greedy, and they all shouted thanks.

"Thank you, auntie!"

"Thank you, auntie!"

Soon, the mule cart was put on the set, and Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si went into the city to sell wild boars.

The rest of the two ends, everyone did not carry them away, and they were skinned and disemboweled directly at the door of Li's house.

There are now more than 30 families in the village.

Two small wild boars, together there are more than 300 catties.

Remove the internal organs of the head and hooves, and produce 200 catties of meat.

Foreign households, three catties for a family, and eight catties for their own village.

The remaining more than 30 catties were given to the Li family.

Large and small bones, if there are children and old people at home, there are also several pieces.

It's also good to go back and make soup.

As for the head and hooves in the water, the village chief is in charge and leaves them to the Li family.

Tao Hongying's craftsmanship is good, and after marinating, every family can share a bowl.

I don't care how much, I just follow Xiangxiang's mouth.

A storm, wild boars rushing into the village, is not a trivial matter.

But in Shimizu Village, it was solved.

Even every house rejoices, and every household rejoices.

No one is jealous of how much silver the two big wild boars of the Li family sold for.

Because the wild boar wanted to spoil the Li family's crops, they went down the mountain.

It was the Li family who killed all the wild boars.

The Li family just left all the wild boars, and no one had a position to say more.

What's more, now they have so much to share.
