Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Jiang family has no news, presumably they can't take out so much silver, and even if they can take it out, they won't be willing to take it out for the sake of two and a half children.

After all, although these two children are studying under the masters, they are not as attractive as Yuan Jiaqi.

The top of the list means that they will definitely be promoted to the rank of sergeant, they will become officials, and they can't see hope, they will only wait and see, and they are not willing to spend money.

As the days passed, the drought became more and more severe, and in the north, which was supposed to be the rainy season, the sun was scorching every day, and even the leaves began to wither.

The crops in the field wilted, and if this continued, there would not be much grain to be harvested by October.

She sighed, and by the moonlight, she carved out a one-acre pit in the wasteland north of the town to fill it with water, and then ran to the south of the town to dig the same pit to fill it with water.

She has just built the sixth order of the foundation now, and she doesn't have the strength to call the wind and rain, move mountains and seas, if she doesn't have space, she can't even be a water carrier.

The water from the two deep pits alleviated the water supply of the people around Tianshui Town, and Qiao Mai went over every night to store some of it, always keeping it full.

Some people say that the people of Tianshui Town often do good deeds, and God bless them, and two large pits of water appeared out of thin air.

Some people from other towns also came here to fetch water, because the water was abundant, and there were no fights.

Mayor Qian attached great importance to this matter, and sent two guards to guard it every day, just to prevent everyone from using the water to prevent those lawbreakers from using the water of these two pits for profit.

The water in Qiao Kee's snack shop is no longer free, but has become a penny for a cup, which is not expensive, and there are many people who drink it.

It's not that Qiao Mai is stingy, it's that she doesn't want people to know that her house has plenty of water.

If you want to be nervous, everyone will be nervous together, and collect money just to let everyone know that her Qiao's water source is also insufficient.

She often sits in front of her shop and watches the waterwheels on the official road come and go, all carrying water from the pit, and with water, no one can flee anymore.

I heard that it is the worst drought in the boundary of the Acropolis, and it will be better to go south, and if it continues like this, there will be a famine escape next year.

She doesn't want to see a large number of people flee south, let alone see many children lose their families, and she doesn't want the epidemic to spread and corpses everywhere.

If she wants to live a peaceful life, she has to try to change this phenomenon as much as possible.

Otherwise, she would have become part of the army of escapees, which was not what she wanted.

So, she went out every night and dug a pit at the boundary of the Acropolis to store water, and now she really became a water carrier.

With her covert help, the drought in the Acropolis boundary eased a lot, and at this time, the people came out again.

They said that the prefect of the Acropolis was a clean official, a good official, a great official who really thought about the people, and God blessed the territory under his jurisdiction, and even if it did not rain, the people would not die of thirst, and the crops would not die of drought.

I went, and they didn't want to think about it, and it was already raining when they knew it.

However, such words are very beneficial to the prefect of the king, and presumably after the current saint knows about it, he will be promoted and valued by him.

Time passed slowly, the scorching summer was almost over, and the crops in the fields were ripe again.

The Wang family began to put away the sweet potatoes again, because they were all planted this year, so the price was a little lower, but not too bad, and the people were very satisfied.

After selling sweet potatoes, it is also cost-effective to buy grain and pay grain tax.

The tenants of Qiao Mai's family had asked her early on whether to hand over the sweet potatoes or sell them for silver, and then buy grain for her.

Qiao Mai didn't bother them either, and directly folded it into silver.

The Qiao family in Lihua Village, the harvest in the field is not very good, and there is not much left after paying taxes, if there is no help this winter, they will have to go hungry for the whole family.

Qiao Shicheng and his wife really had no choice, so they sold one of their granddaughters to a big family as a girl.

When Qiao Mai was sold, her eldest brother and second brother didn't think anything was wrong.

When you sell your daughter, you can't do it, although you value sons over daughters, but in the end you are your own daughter.

sold his daughter for a large family, and felt too uncomfortable.

What the house thought in his heart was that the next one was going to sell his daughter, and the money was used in the public school, which was too cost-effective, even if he sold it, he would sell it himself, and the money would be spent by himself.

When Qiao Shicheng sold a granddaughter, the Qiao family began to break up.

In a big war, the Qiao family didn't last long, and they split up, and Qiao Shicheng and his wife, like the Yuan family, were thrown out by their children.

No one ever lived with anyone, they took turns to deliver food, and when they couldn't move, each family took turns to come and wait, and no one wanted to spend time with them.

The old men of these two families have more time to get together now, so they sit opposite Jixiangyuan when they have nothing to do, and they swallow saliva at the magnificent gate.

As for the Tian family, they pinned their hopes on Ling'er, thinking that Tian Sanzhuang would come back quickly.

At that time, if the child is really three strong, then they can negotiate terms with the slut clearly.

This year's winter was even colder than last year, and it was not until the middle of the month that there was a light snowfall, and the temperature suddenly cooled down.

Seeing that the weather was like this again, Qiao Mai's heart was worried, and it seemed that he would have to work as a water carrier next year.

This year, there is nothing to make her happy, the only thing that makes her happy is that the space has been upgraded again, and all indicators are much stronger than the previous level.

Because of the upgrade, the pond of tens of thousands of acres is twice as large as before, and the water source can be used for another year on the boundary of the Acropolis.

If the people of the Acropolis survive, the people of other cities and counties should also be fine, after all, their disaster is not as serious as here.

Winter is better than summer, at least there is no sun baking, the water will not evaporate so quickly, a pit of water is enough for the surrounding people to use it for a long time, as long as it is not wasted, there is no problem.

On the eve of the New Year, Qiao Mai filled water in the puddles in various places in the middle of the night, hoping that they would have a good New Year.

But when the water was stored, she found that there were several pits occupied, if it weren't for the bonfire, the words they said, and a conspicuous sign next to it, she didn't know that the puddles were actually charged.

Qiao Mai was on fire at that time, damn it, she didn't charge others for digging pits and storing water, these ghost grandchildren would pick up ready-made ones and occupy the puddles to collect the people's water bills.

She took seven pits in one night, which was dozens of lives, and Qiao Mai didn't even blink an eye.

She didn't even dispose of the bodies, she left them on the edge of the pit and put them on their toll signs.

"Death to those who make a fortune!"

One night, on the eve of the New Year, so many lives were killed, and it caused a sensation in the Acropolis realm.

The people clapped their hands and applauded, "Kill well, die happily, such a person deserves to die." ”

Wang Zongsheng personally took people to check, all of them were wiped necks, there was no pain at all, and the means were clean and neat.

No suspicious anything was found at the scene of the crime, so he had to ask his family to bring the person back and let them bury the person until the case was solved.

Who is it? Who has such a big ability?

The modus operandi is the same, and the time of committing the crime is not much different, as if several pits are carried out at the same time.

The prefect didn't take this matter to heart, because the dead were all ruffians and bullies, and they were innocent of death.

In the end, he just pushed the matter to the people in the rivers and lakes.

With the example of Qiao Mai killing chickens to show the monkeys, no one dared to charge by the pit anymore, and the people could go to fetch water at will.

This year has barely passed, and all the towns except for Qiao Mai's family are very tight.

The poor are tight without money and water, and the rich are tight with money and no water.

Anyway, this year, everyone is not very happy.
