As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, "What is this called?" What thirst dies? What starves to death? ”

"If you want to fetch water, you have to go to Zhaojiazhuang, twenty miles away, to fetch water, and a bucket of water costs ten cents." Sang Qingyan told the news he heard from Jiang Fei one by one.

"What!? Ten cents!? Why don't they grab it!? "Zhao Mazi couldn't sit still the first one, he didn't have any silver, and now he still needs silver to fetch water, how can he live.

Sang Qingyan was completely unmoved, and continued, "Even if water is fetched, I'm afraid that it will only be enough for our daily use, let alone for farming. ”

If they do not farm the land, there is no harvest, and these exiles have to pay a stone of grain every season to avoid other labor, and if they do not hand over the grain on time, the government will have an excuse to take them away and send them to prison at any time.

Now, according to Sang Qingyan, they have no way to live.

I thought that as long as I came to Lianzhou, no matter how difficult the conditions were, I would have tiles to cover my head and land to plant, so I could persist for the last two or three years, and maybe I would be able to meet an amnesty and return to Beijing.

Now it seems that there is no life at all, this is the way for God to cut them off!

Realizing this, they immediately panicked, "What should I do?" Are we going to have to stay here and die? ”

"Otherwise, we are outcasts, and we don't have a way to clear the customs, and we have identity documents, even if we want to escape, there is no way to escape."

"What kind of road guide do you want, it's really urgent, Lao Tzu just left, and it's better to run to the deep mountains and old forests than to stay here without even saliva."

"To put it mildly, if you leave, what will happen to your family? You will definitely be suspected by the government of helping you escape, and even they will be arrested together when the time comes! ”

"So, what do you say? Stay here and die!? ”

Miscellaneous voices came from all directions unabashedly, and even Sang Qingqiao panicked when he heard it, pulling Sang Qingyu and asking, "Second brother, if there is no water, then what should we do?" ”

Rao is Sang Qingqiao lowered his voice, but he was still heard by Sang Qingyan.

Sang Qingyan turned around and looked at the two younger brothers, also wanting to know how they planned, it was absolutely impossible to escape, they had already decided that their father was not guilty, and sooner or later one day they would be rehabilitated, but if they escaped, there would be no possibility of their father coming back.

"If there's no water, then fetch water." Unexpectedly, Sang Qingyu hadn't spoken yet, but Ning Ning spoke first.

Her little milk voice sounded exceptionally crisp, causing everyone to stop talking in tacit agreement and look at her in unison.

Whether they admit it or not, if it weren't for this little girl, they were afraid that they would either be shocked to death because of the earth dragon turning over, or killed by bandits, or die of epidemics.

In the dead world in front of her, maybe she can find a way to live for them, but everyone knows the words of fetching water when there is no water, what kind of solution is this?

Sang Qingyan didn't seem to be surprised at all, Ning Ning's words, and he responded seriously, "But Brother Jiang Fei, they have been digging wells, but they haven't produced water, if we want to dig a well for a while, I'm afraid it won't be easy." ”

It turns out that those people are digging wells, no wonder they look like they are disgraced.

But after thinking about it, they have all tossed themselves into that shape, and they haven't hit the water yet, so what hope do they have to be able to hit the water?

"Hmm......" Ning Ning didn't refute Sang Qingyan's words, pouted and snorted.

Sang Qingyan smiled bitterly when he saw this, but this water is only one of the problems, Jiang Fei told him more than that, since everyone is here now, he simply said everything thoroughly.

"Even if you can get water according to what Ning Ning said, you can't grow food in this land." Sang Qingyan said, "According to what Brother Jiang Fei said, the land in this Crescent Village is only gravel, and there is no soil at all, even if it is barely planted, it will not produce much food, and in previous years, in their village, the annual harvest was only three stones." ”

"Three stones!?" Many of the exiles who had been farmers were stunned when they heard this.

Originally, they saw that there were quite a lot of fields in this crescent village, if they could plant them, one stone per season should not be a problem, and maybe they could leave a lot of them to eat, but now all the fields can only produce three stones, not to mention handing them over to the government, even if they eat themselves, it is not enough!

"Not only that, this crescent moon village is just like its name, it is a concave crescent moon, there are mountains on both sides, and our village is in the middle, and in another month there will be heavy snow covering the mountain, and the village will be buried by snow, and when spring begins, the snow melts, and the snow water merges into a torrent, which will bring flooding to the village." Sang Qingyan continued, his face was bitter.

"Snow buried? Flood? "The exiles are already a little speechless.

"And when it comes to the heat, it will be extremely hot, and you can't go out at all during the day, and you can only barely go out at night, so the villagers of Crescent Village will use such heat-proof soil to build houses."

"But using soil to build a house is easy to cause wind and sand, Brother Jiang Fei said, the original villagers of Crescent Village just can't stand the cold in winter and hot in summer, and there is no food and no water, so they slowly moved out, and in recent decades, there are only four of them at most."

Sang Qingyan said everything he knew about the Crescent Village in one breath, whether to leave or stay, it was not up to him to decide by himself.

After listening to his words, I don't know if I was shocked by such a cruel situation, and for a while, no one spoke.

Only Ning Ning, who was silent just now, suddenly spoke again, "Brother, then why is Big Brother Fei still here?" ”

This question made Sang Qingyan stunned, and he said for a while; "He, he seems to say that he wants to stay here and dig wells." As for why, Jiang Fei didn't tell him.

"Since Big Brother Fei stays, then Ning Ning also wants to stay!" Ning Ning jumped off the stool, raised her head, and said very resolutely.

What's this, what kind of reason is this!? Sang Qingyan couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, he had actually decided to stay, for Ning Ning to meet amnesty one day and regain his free body, and also for his father, one day he would have to clear his innocence.

Ning Ning's words, those exiles naturally heard it, she said to stay, so should they also stay?

But what confidence does she have to stay?

They wanted to ask, but they were a little embarrassed, but fortunately Ning Ning also had an open-mouthed brother, Sang Qingqiao, who said with a sad face: "You said to stay, stay?" What about the water, what about the grain? What to do? ”

As soon as these words came out, even Sang Qingyan unconsciously looked at Ning Ning, and everyone seemed to be waiting for Ning Ning's answer.

"That, of course it's ......" Ning Ning, who was looked at by so many people, suddenly became a little uncomfortable, even stammered when she spoke, her eyes rolled and rolled, and finally remembered the sentence, "Of course, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge!" ”
