The old man who enjoyed the cool under the big tree was a kind man: "The water has been coming slowly these days, and everything that can be connected to the rope has been connected, and now the water is out of reach, you must be really thirsty and panic, go to my house to drink, I still have some water at home." ”

"Uncle, I have a hemp rope here, can you borrow my bucket to try?"

Xu Yin said, and took out a long hemp rope with the thickness of a thumb from the baggage roll.

"Let's try." The old man gave her the bucket at his feet.

Xu Yin connected the hemp rope to the bucket rope and tried the tensile force, which was strong enough, and then threw the bucket into the well.

The water in the ancient well is really only shallow, and even if the bucket is fully placed at the bottom of the well, it will not receive much water.

When Xu Yin brought it up, she took the opportunity to bring some spring water into the bucket.

Everyone was very excited to see her hang up a small half bucket of water.

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "It's still the little brother who has the ability." We have been busy for half a day this morning, and we have only hung up to the bottom layer. ”

Xu Yin smiled silently.

She handed the bucket to Wang Daniu and asked them to drink it first.

"I'll try again when you're done."

Wang Daniu's family excused themselves for a few words, and then took a sip of the bucket and I took a sip of it, and drank it happily.

Finally, I don't have to moisturize my lips with some drops of water like before.

"This water is so sweet and delicious!"

"Like nectar!"

"After drinking, I feel full of energy!"

Wang Da Niu's father drank and burst into tears: "God, it's raining!" The days of running out of water are so hard! ”

The old man sighed: "It's hard to endure the famine!" ”

Xu Yin silently took the bucket in Wang Daniu's hand, politely rejected his proposal to fetch water, tossed for a while, and then brought up a small half bucket, filled the gourd in Erlang's hand, and let Erlang and the third sister drink enough, and there was still some water left, and she returned the bucket to the old man together.

"Uncle, thank you for the water in your village."

Before leaving, Xu Yin quietly stuffed two catties of rice into him and told him to go home early and not to tell outsiders that there was water and food at home.

The old man carried a bucket of water and a bag of rice, and watched them go away with tears in his eyes.

……

After drinking a full meal of water in Dadu Village, Wang Daniu's family spoke more.

Referring to the destination of this trip, Dongxuan Mansion, Wang Daniu said:

"I went there once the year before last, and it was much more magnificent than ours, and there were more people on the streets, but the prices were also more expensive than ours. At that time, a pot of herbal tea charged me ten yuan, and I don't know how much it has risen this year. ”

"Dad, our lack of water is because it doesn't rain, and there may be a lot of rain in Dongxuan Mansion." His youngest son said, "If the price doesn't rise, you can buy me a pot to drink!" I'm so big, I haven't drunk herbal tea yet! ”

Wang Da Niu glared at him: "You kid knows Huo Huo Qian!" The price of herbal tea has not risen, and our family also has to save flowers. It's not to go to relatives during the New Year, it's to go to your uncle, don't you know? I don't know how long this famine year will last, I went to someone else's house, and you tightened my skin for me. Learn more about the hero little brother, he is not a few years older than you, and he has already picked up the burden of the family! ”

Erlang looked back at Xu Yin, and said with a narrow mouth: "He is obviously older than your sister-in-law, and he is so ignorant!" ”

Xu Yin freed his hand to shoot him, and his brain collapsed.

From Wang Daniu's words, it is known that Dongxuan Mansion is about 800 miles away from Tongxing Mansion.

In the past, he used to go to Dongxuan Mansion by ox cart and then by horse-drawn carriage, and he had to walk for several days. However, it is the official road to take by car, and the road is easy to walk but the detour is long.

Now the country road they chose was told by Wang Daniu from his relatives in Dongxuanfu, and it is said that it takes much less time than the official road, but sometimes they have to cross a hill and cross a river or something.

Along the way, the riverbed is dry and clumpy, so you don't need to make a special detour to cross the bridge, just step on the riverbed to cross it.

At first, Wang Daniu was worried that Xu Yin's board car would not be easy to push down the riverbed, and wanted to help her carry her luggage and move the board car, but she didn't expect her to carry it with both hands and pass it in one trip.

Now, Wang Daniu is about to blow Xu Yin up.

"Little brother hero, you are the real powerful bull! My name is right for you. ”

Xu Yin: "......"

Please, no!

Not only Wang Daniu, but his father, his two sons, and his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law also took turns to praise her for her strength.

"Little brother hero's strength, I dare to say that no one is as big as you in a radius of 100 miles."

"Don't say that it's a hundred miles away, and Dongxuan Mansion can't find such a strong force."

"The strength of the little brother of the hero, I went to Dongxuan Mansion, and I don't have to worry about finding a job."

"Brother Hero, let's go and pick up the work together, with your strength, many masters must be willing to hire you, and I will take advantage of you."

Jiro has been covering his mouth and snickering all the way.

Xu Yin glanced at him, knowing what this kid was laughing at, and laughing at her fake name "Xu Yingying".

Heroes come out of troubled times, do you know, boy!

Xu Yin complained happily in her heart.

Unexpectedly, the next day, she made her fake name confirmed.

While passing through a bare firewood mountain, I encountered a group of robbers blocking the road.

It is inappropriate to say that it is a mountain bandit, because looking at the clothes, these people are obviously refugees like them.

It is not wealth that is plundered, but food and water.

"Acquaintances, hand over your water and food!"

The man at the head was a man in the prime of his thirties, with a broken left eyebrow, and he held an axe and spoke viciously.

There were five or six young students behind him, some holding axes, some holding firewood knives, staring at Xu Yin and his party like wolves.

Wang Da Niu had the courage to discuss with him: "Good man, I don't know how much grain you want, and I don't have much left, but I can balance you some." Water we didn't ...... either."

"Fart! I see you've just unskinned and drunk it. Throw them all at me! One more word, and the end will be the same! ”

The man with the broken eyebrows raised his axe and slashed at the tree next to him, and the tree fell in response.

Wang Daniu's family didn't dare to squeak in an instant.

"I said," Xu Yin put down the cart and moved her wrist lazily towards the other party.

Jiro was so frightened that he jumped up to pull her, but he didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.

"What is not good, you have to do bad! Didn't your parents teach you that ill-gotten gains are not advisable? ”

As she spoke, Xu Yin raised her foot and kicked at the man with broken eyebrows, and with a seemingly fluttering kick, the other party was kicked out three feet away.

"Bang!"

"Ahh

"Brother Feng—"

Two people ran out of the team to help the man with broken eyebrows who was crying out in pain.

The other four descendants surrounded Xu Yin menacingly:

"Boy, are you very fat? Dare to kick our brother Feng, don't you want this little life? ”

"I don't think it's you who don't want to die!" Xu Yin was worried that there would be changes later, so she quickly slashed one person and one kick in a hurry.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

One by one, sacks flew out.

Seeing that she was so difficult to provoke, the man with broken eyebrows and his party ran away with each other's arms.

Not only Wang Daniu's family was dumbfounded, but they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time; The victims in the rear, who fled the famine like them, were also surprised to see this scene from afar, obediently! One person picked more than a dozen and kicked people away? Wow, master!
