Chapter 17: The Time of Heaven
"Have you offended grandma?"
As soon as Ouyang Si muttered, he was stopped by Yu Bo with his eyes.
Where is the big grandmother, Yan Lingxi knows very well in his heart, this is definitely Yuhong's handiwork.
But the grandmother doesn't look at her very well.
"Don't worry, let me think about it."
Don't panic when you see the move.
It was not good for several of them to gather in the courtyard, so Yan Lingxi led everyone into the small firewood room, and the big guy squeezed to find a place to sit down, and she also gave a sweet and sour wild fruit to nibble.
Nibbling on the fruit, they discussed several ideas, some said to beg the grandmother, and some said that they promised benefits for others to help them, but there was no reliable way.
Yan Lingxi thought, can't you slaughter Yuhong and grandma tonight? If anyone tracks it down, let's go up the mountain and become bandits! Drink wine in large bowls and eat meat in large chunks.
is chatting, a big gong is struck outside the courtyard, this is the rule of Lianxinzhuang, every time this gong is struck, it is about to gather everyone to talk about things.
Yubo stood up when he heard the sound, he was a housekeeper, he had to go out and have a look.
Not long after, Yubo came back, his expression was a little strange, as if he was happy and worried: "Lingxi, you don't have to water the ground from tomorrow, and you don't have to worry about not being able to do the work." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Li Zheng just said that the drought is getting more and more serious, and the village has given up its crops, leaving it to fate, not allowing every household to water the land, and giving priority to water sources to ensure the livelihood of the people in the village."
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the room.
Yan Lingxi's problem has been solved, but is the village where they live about to run out of water?
During the period of settling in Lianxin Village, everyone saw the love and importance of the Zhuanghu family for the crops, which was even closer than treating their own sons.
Li Zheng is forcing everyone in the village to give up their crops, and you can imagine how severe the drought has become.
Yan Lingxi thought that the matter of providing water to the village must be put on the agenda, and at this time, they and the village are both prosperous and lossy.
"Big guys, pay attention to the heat these two days, the water you can drink will definitely be less and less, be careful of heat stroke, take care of your body."
Yan Lingxi instructed and ended the symposium in the small firewood room.
As soon as the door was opened, someone was knocking on the gate of the yard, and the small firewood house was guarding the gate, and Yubo, who was the first to go out, asked who it was and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Zhou Qingshi was standing there with a pheasant in his hand.
"Great, I thought it would take a lot of effort to find you," he saw Yan Lingxi, his eyes lit up, and he raised the things in his hand, "I thank you so much, I caught a chicken today and brought it to you." ”
Uncle Yu brushed his eyes on Yan Lingxi.
Zhou Qingshi looked at them, thinking that it should be a good thing to brush the good impression of the little girl in front of these people, so he said: "You don't know, she not only treated my piglet, but also met me from heat stroke and fainted last time, and gave me her own water to drink, benevolence and righteousness!" ”
Uncle Yu nodded with some relief when he heard this, but Chen Feng looked at it like a ghost, she would be good to people for no reason? I want to accept my little brother again!
Ouyang Si felt that there was nothing wrong, Lingxi was already very good, she taught hunting for free, and praised me!
Yan Lingxi wanted to refuse, these villagers were really miserable, and she didn't lack this, but when she looked up and saw that the lights in each house had not been extinguished, she didn't want to alarm others to cause more trouble, so she welcomed Zhou Qingshi into the firewood room and sat for a while, brought him a lot of wild vegetables and wild fruits, and took them away when he went back.
Last time, I said that the ring that fed the pigs to Zhou Qingshi had several sacks, and in order to hide people's eyes, she only took a little when she was on the way, just like ants moving. This time, he came, and it was dark, so he directly let the rest go.
Yan Lingxi asked him where he caught the pheasant, after all, there were too few prey in the wasteland for ordinary people to beat.
"My field, the land on my mountain, is full of stones, and I haven't planted it. I was thinking about going up the hill and digging some wild vegetable patches or something, like you, and I came across it.
By the way, when you have free time, I'll take you around, there are wild fruits and other things on the mountain, and you can take them back and eat them when the time comes. ”
Zhou Qingshi didn't know if it was because he was hunted today or for what reason, and he seemed very interested.
Yan Lingxi has long been eyeing that mountain, but unfortunately the mountain is all in the village, and the village has already planned the territory to be distributed to each household, so he can't go to other people's territory to hunt.
Moreover, Yan Lingxi thought that their mountains were planted with crops.
"How many people in the village have no mountains like you?" Yan Lingxi asked.
"Almost no land has been cultivated, the land on the mountain is not good, crops cannot be planted, only two or three families have planted fruit trees for the family children to eat."
Okay, great.
They don't go up to the mountains to farm, which means that the natural environment has not been destroyed, and there are not too many people going up the mountain in normal times, but there are more good things on the mountain.
"Brother Shi, I'll discuss it with you. You see, I usually work for their families, and I don't even have enough to eat, so I often go to the wasteland to find something to chew grain. In the future, I will go to your mountain, whether I find wild vegetables or hunt prey, I will give you eighty percent, and I will take two percent, so that you don't have to go up the mountain by yourself, what do you think? ”
In fact, at first glance, the plan given by Yan Lingxi, Zhou Qingshi is at a loss, after all, the things in the mountains grow there, and it is the same if he has the leisure time to dig and hunt, where to find someone to go for him, and share her share, not the crops to harvest.
But Zhou Qingshi went to the neighboring village every afternoon to work as a short-term worker, and he had to feed the pigs in the morning and evening, only for a short time in the morning, less than an hour, and he couldn't count on it. Today, he also happened to get off work early, and he just went up the mountain.
This plan is quite cost-effective for Zhou Qingshi, and the most important thing is that if it is really time to gnaw the roots of the grass and pick the bark in the future, he doesn't know if the things in his mountains can still belong to him, so he has to get his hands on it as soon as possible.
After Yan Lingxi finished speaking, he waited for Zhou Qingshi to reply, repeatedly thinking about whether there was anything that was not thoughtful, so as not to make people feel unfair.
Zhou Qingshi didn't think about this at all, he looked at the child in front of him, only worried about her safety. Will she hunt? I don't believe it, even if I could, I wouldn't be able to let such a child go up the mountain by himself. What if something happens.
"Nope." He was categorical, and when he saw Yan Lingxi's disappointed gaze, he felt that he was saying a little bluntly, "When I have to be free, I will take you up, and you can eat whatever you want, and you don't have to divide it." ”
"That's not going to work!" Yan Lingxi felt his care and pity for children, and was a little depressed, "Brother Shi, I really know how to hunt, and I can also ensure my safety, besides, I have to go every day, how can I take the things in your field for nothing?" ”
She knew that Zhou Qingshi didn't believe it, so she copied her pillow and tore it open with a "sting".
