So much so that when the wind spoke to him carefully, his tone was cold.

However, the wind was a little thick, and he didn't notice Yan Lang's little emotion.

After a few days of driving, everyone's buckets bottomed out, and the village chief had to ask people to stop and discuss finding a water source.

The result of the discussion was that each family sent one person to the surrounding area to find water, and the others waited in place.

The women and children left behind were all tired and thirsty, the more sensible children leaned on the adults without saying a word, and some of the ignorant children cried and cried for water and food, and when the adults could not take it out, they cried so much that their snot and saliva were everywhere.

Looking at the mess, the wind is quite touching.

In such an era and such a disaster, the power of one person really cannot change anything.

Xia looked at the direction in which everyone was looking for water, frowned and said, "Fine, do you say they can find water?" ”

Feng sighed carefully and said in a low voice: "Mother, this way north, we have met so many displaced people, most of these displaced people are because of the drought, because of the lack of water, they went north like us, just to find a trace of life, I guess, everything around here has been found." ”

She looked up at the bright sun and said, "Don't say that it's so big that it's hard to have a water source that hasn't been dried out, and even if there is a water source, it's probably been found by the displaced people along the way, I think most of them will return in vain." ”

Hearing this, Xia's face was disappointed, and she said in a low voice: "Since that's the case, then why bother looking for it again?" Doesn't that make people more tired? ”

Feng shook his head carefully and said, "How can you be willing if you don't look for it?" Besides, it's better to have a glimmer of hope than no hope, and if the lord favors him one day, it's not certain that he will really find it. ”

Xia shook his head, in this way, most of the people who can't find water today.

When the water had not been consumed much before, the village chief asked people to look for it when they rested, but they did not find it every time.

As the wind says, a glimmer of hope is better than nothing.

Xia Shi wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, then took out his own bamboo tube filled with water and handed it to her, and said softly: "Fine, there are still a few mouthfuls of water in this bamboo tube, you take it to moisten your mouth." ”

Feng Xian looked sideways at Xia's dry mouth, her heart was slightly warm, she shook her head and said, "Mother, I still have half a bamboo tube of water in this bamboo tube, you drink it yourself." ”

Xia Shi looked at Feng Ertian and Yan Lang again, and Feng Ertian hurriedly said, "Mother, I have it too." ”

Yan Lang met Xia's gentle gaze, and he hurriedly said, "Aunt Xia, I have it too." ”

Xia picked up the bamboo tube and wet his lips shallowly.

If there is no water, I don't know how to live my life in the future.

Thinking of this, the sorrow on Xia's face couldn't help but become a little heavier.

"Mother, don't worry, everything will be fine." Feng patted Xia's hand carefully and said with relief.

Although Zhang is old, she has been sitting on the cart all the way, and she has not walked, and her spirit is surprisingly good, much better than that of other young villagers.

At this time, she saw Xia's frowning brows, and she couldn't help but say loudly: "Third daughter-in-law, don't worry too much, the water in my bamboo tube hasn't been touched much, you can drink it, I'm old, I don't need to drink so much water." ”

As soon as she said this, Xia couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't expect that at this moment, everyone was about to die of thirst when they had no water, and Zhang was willing to take out the water.

"No, mother, you drink it yourself, don't be reluctant to drink it, let's go back and find the water and then fill it after drinking."

Zhang's sighed, only to feel that he was fortunate to recognize the face of the eldest and second in this life, although the third is gone, but the third daughter-in-law is a kind heart.

"Grandma, grandma, do you have water here?" At this moment, Fenghuahua ran over with an empty bamboo tube.

As soon as Zhang looked at Fenghuahua, his face instantly sank.

"Grandma." Feng Huahua directly ignored Zhang's face, "Grandma, I have no water to drink, can you bring me some water to drink?" ”

Zhang thought that among his granddaughters in the past, this granddaughter was the one he loved the most, but he didn't expect that after the second daughter-in-law with her fell out with her, this granddaughter didn't have a good face for her.

After so many years, let alone calling her grandma, when I met on the other side, not only did I not shout, but sometimes I had to roll a few disgusted eyes at her, thinking of this, Zhang's stomach was on fire.

"Grandma? Who's your grandma? ”

Zhang lay down on the cart, closed his eyes and said, "I can't afford to be your grandmother." ”

The smile on Fenghuahua's face froze, she tightened the bamboo tube in her hand, and the smile in her eyes was a little uncontrollable.

She looked at the way Zhang Shi's back was facing her, and she was immediately annoyed, but she knew that if she would be angry at the old woman, the water in the old woman's bamboo tube would definitely not be given to her.

It was so hot that she was too thirsty.

"Grandma......" Fenghuahua blinked her eyes, looking like she was about to cry.

She heard it all just now, and heard Zhang say that she had water.

Zhang didn't bother to pay attention to Feng Huahua, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Feng Huahua saw that the Zhang family really wouldn't give her any more water, and she immediately showed a fierce face.

"I still have to call you grandma, you usually say to outsiders that our family and uncle's family are not filial to you, but why don't you want to think about what you have done, you are good to your third family, of course they have to honor you."

"In your eyes, there are only three other grandchildren left, and we are nothing to you."

Feng Huahua gritted her teeth and said: "Don't let us take care of your affairs in the future, you can ask for more blessings for yourself." ”

After Feng Huahua finished speaking, she snorted coldly and turned to leave.

As soon as she left, Zhang's was so angry that she was about to shout Fenghuahua to make it clear, but was stopped by Xia.

"Mother, okay, don't talk about it, now is not the time to talk about housework, she can think whatever she likes."

Xia was afraid of a dispute, after all, the village chief was already worried enough about finding a water source, and she didn't want her lawsuit to go to the village chief.

Although Zhang didn't make a noise, he was very angry.

The whole village waited in the same place for a long time and did not see the person looking for water come back, and the anxiety in the village chief's eyes became a little heavier.

Seeing that the allotted time was about to come, everyone became more and more anxious.

"It's back, it's back, you see, the third uncle is back."

And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw that they had gone out to seek water had returned.

When they got closer, they saw that all the people who had gone out to look for water were crying and mourning, and not only did they not find water, but they also drank all the water they had taken to quench their thirst on the way.

"Village chief, there is no water for several miles around here, and if we want to go farther, we are afraid that we will not be able to come back if we get lost, and we are afraid that you will be in a hurry."

The village chief couldn't help but sigh as he listened to the report of the villagers.

In the end, seeing that it was not early, he had no choice but to say: "Let's use less water to cook things and eat, and after eating, we will go find a piece of land to stay overnight." ”
