When Qingzhu saw her coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward: "Seventh lady." ”

He Lingjiang nodded and looked in the direction of the Lin family: "Is the mother safe?" ”

"Yes, mother and son are safe." Qingzhu replied.

Wang Yuan and her daughter-in-law had already returned, and when she saw He Lingjiang coming back from outside, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did the lady go?" ”

"I can't sleep, but I'm just walking around outside." He Ling Jiang explained with a light smile.

"Yo, where did this bird come from, so pretty?"

He Lingjiang walked to the lamp, and Wang Yuan's daughter-in-law had sharp eyes, and at a glance she saw a bird with gorgeous wings parked on her shoulder.

The bird glanced at her, then turned its head.

He Ling Jiang's eyebrows bent slightly, and his eyes were full of smiles: "I don't know where I flew from, so I followed me and refused to leave." ”

"Then this is a confession of the Lord, which shows that this bird has some spirituality." Wang Yuan said with a smile, and then she took out a red plug and gave it to He Lingjiang, "Don't dislike it, this is the Lin family's gratitude." ”

The daughter-in-law of the Lin family had a difficult birth, and thanks to the method of the Qingzhu lady, she was able to give birth to the child smoothly.

Although I don't know if her method is really the key, the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, who had fainted to death, did wake up after Qingzhu Niangzi put an umbrella and waved willow branches, and gave birth to the child in one go.

Just now, the Lin family had already thanked Qingzhu Niangzi, but she said that this method was just the local method of her hometown, and her own lady ordered her to do it.

Otherwise, she can't rashly do such things that may not please her.

When the Lin family heard about it, they wanted to come and thank this lady Liu in person.

It's a pity that Qingzhu Niangzi refused to go back, only saying that her own lady has always loved Qingjing, and now it is early in the morning, and she doesn't want others to disturb her again.

The Lin family had no choice but to entrust her to transfer the red letter to Mrs. Liu, and to give another copy to Mrs. Qingzhu.

This is a happy event, and He Lingjiang did not refuse, but took it easily.

After this toss, it was already dawn at this time, and Wang Yuan's daughter-in-law hurriedly went to the stove to prepare everyone's breakfast.

He Lingjiang turned around and went back to the house first.

After breakfast, He Lingjiang and his party politely refused Muramasa's desire to keep them for another day, and then stepped on the carriage and set off.

They went all the way to the southwest, hurried by day, and when the sun was about to set, they would find a town or village to settle in, and occasionally there would be no place to go in front of the village and no shop in the back, so they would stay in the suburbs for a while.

In this way, they rushed for five or six days in a row, and they arrived in Shaoyang.

He Shishi lifted the curtain and looked at the scene outside, frowning slightly.

At this time, it was the spring of March, which should be the time when everything was revived and vibrant.

However, in this Shaoyang territory, the branches of the trees are weak, the flowers and plants are decaying, and even the cries of the birds and birds also carry a sense of sorrow, and there is no spring vitality at all.

I have already traveled for a long time today, He Zheng asked the people in the car across the carriage: "Seven Lady, Lord Shilang, it's noon, do you want to rest and repair for a while?" ”

"Okay."

He Zheng found a forest on the side of the road to avoid the light and stopped.

Qingzhu Qiongzhi jumped out of the car first, took out the equipment from the carriage, and then asked He Ling Jiang to get off with the poet.

He Lingjiang carried his skirt and landed on the land of Shaoyang.

The brown soil under his feet seemed to be able to gently raise a cloud of dust as he walked, drying tightly.

She looked around, and from the grass and trees that were rarely green, she could guess that it had not rained for a long time.

He Shishi sighed and shook his head with a sigh.

Qiong Zhi had just laid out the mat in the glade, and He Lingjiang sat on it, watching her about to take out the tea set and water bladder to make tea for the two of them.

He Lingjiang stopped her movements: "You don't need to make tea, just drink it like this, it's a waste of water." ”

At a glance, the drought is known here, He Zheng went to the river to get water, but he may not be able to return as he wished.

It is used to wash tea and boil tea, but it is a waste.

Qiong Zhi nodded, opened the water bladder, poured two cups of water in the cup and handed it to He Lingjiang and He Shishi.

He ordered Jiang Fang to drink a lamp, and He Zheng also took water and came back.

"How?" He Shishi asked, "Is there water?" ”

He Zheng nodded, but his face was not optimistic: "This river should be a big river, but now it seems that this water surface is about to bottom out......"

This drought is so serious.

He Ling Jiang's heart couldn't help sinking.

At this time, it is the spring season, which is the season of sowing and farming, and now the spring drought is serious, and the people's daily drinking water is probably a problem, let alone irrigating the crops and fields.

If the grain planting in the spring is not good, and the harvest is not good in the autumn, it is a fierce year and a hungry year, and the people have a hard time this year.

As the saying goes, after a great drought, there will be a great disaster, and this is also true.

However, this natural disaster is beyond the power of manpower, and I just hope that the local officials will handle it properly and reduce some losses for the people.

After a little trimming, the group moved forward again.

Gradually, villages loomed on both sides of the road, and there were more pedestrians on the road.

He Lingjiang looked through the curtain of the car, and saw that most of the people were disgraced, and at a glance, he knew that they were people from poor backgrounds.

They all carried or carried a wooden bucket and basket of water, or in twos and threes, or alone, and seemed to be heading in the same direction.

He Shiren poked his head out and asked an old man: "Old man, where are you going?" ”

The old man raised his tired head, lifted his eyelids and glanced at him: "Go to the Land Temple." ”

"Oh?" He Shiren couldn't help but wonder, "What's the excitement today?" ”

"Lang Jun is a foreigner, right?" The old man asked curiously.

He Shishi nodded: "Exactly, we happened to pass by your land. ”

The old man sighed: "Lang Jun is just passing by, it's okay, and he can go to him quickly." We, the natives, can't go. ”

He raised his head and pointed around: "Lang Jun also looked, our place is in drought, and it has not rained for three months since the first month. ”

There was no rain in March, and the water level of the lakes and rivers in Shaoyang all dropped, and now, there is a tendency to dry up.

The water in the vicinity has been taken away, so go to a farther place, and now, there is no water in this radius of ten miles, and it is difficult to drink water.

"Then the land temple still has a water source?" He asked curiously.

The old man shook his head: "Now if you want to find a water source again, I'm afraid you have to go to a place twenty miles away." ”

"However, fortunately, we have good people in Shaoyang, who will apply water in front of this land temple every two days, and everyone can go to get a bucket of water, and the family can save some use, and it can be used for two days."

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but show a little gratitude on his face.
