182. How can there be water in our village?
Seeing these men returning, the villagers of Xiazhai Village were all excited, and they were chatting and laughing with the exiled prisoners in front of them, and at this moment their faces became surprised, and they got up and stumbled to win.
"Daddy, you're finally back, I miss you so much!"
"Master, you can be regarded as back, but I'm in a hurry!"
"My son, why haven't you come back for so long, but I am worried to death!"
The women, children and elderly people left behind in the village all won and went to their fathers, husbands and sons.
Niu Niu also ran over, and finally found a bearded man in the crowd.
A handful of snot and tears shouted: "Daddy, why did you go so long and come back, Niu Niu still thinks he doesn't have a father, woo woo woo ......"
Niu Niu's father looked tired, and when he saw him crying, he didn't have the comfort of soft words, but raised his hand to shovel it over, and pretended to be vicious: "What are you crying about, is your father and I so easy to die?" Only your father wants someone's life, how can anyone want your father's life! ”
Hearing his father's words, Niu Niu burst into laughter, and the snot on his nose instantly blew out a round bubble, and with his laughter, "pop" burst.
The others couldn't help but relax when they saw the interaction between the father and son, and the original heaviness and worry slowly returned to calm.
As long as people are safe, everything is fine.
"Tell us quickly, why did you go to the city for so long this time and didn't come back, what happened? We thought you wouldn't come back, so how could you come back? ”
The old and weak woman who remained in the village asked uncontrollably.
The men then opened their mouths to pour out their reasons to them.
It turned out that when they went to fetch water, the villages around the county also poured into the county seat to fetch water, so that the county seat was crowded and there was a big fight, and then the people of the government took advantage of their defeat and arrested them and took care of them.
The contract ordering them not to enter the county seat to grab water again, otherwise they will not be allowed to go.
Naturally, they are reluctant to take it, because there is no water in the village, so they can only rely on the water in the county town to survive, and if they sign it, they can only wait for death.
They were reluctant to sign, so they were kept in the county seat and guarded.
Seeing that they had not signed, and the people in the government had not let them go, they had not even given them food or water, so they had to compromise in the end.
When the men said this, they couldn't help but blame themselves for beating their heads: "It's all useless, there is no way to get water for the people in the village, and now that we have signed that contract, we will no longer be able to go into the city to get water, so we can only wait outside the village to die!" ”
"Father, mother, son, I'm sorry for you, I couldn't bring water back to you, I can only die of thirst!"
Seeing these men blaming themselves in such pain, the family members in the village hurriedly stopped: "You don't have to blame yourself, don't worry about the water in our village now, this water is sweeter and sweeter than our village's own water before, and it is much better than the water in the city!" ”
Hearing the words of the elderly, children and women in the family, the men's eyes widened in disbelief: "How is it possible? How can there be water in our village, it doesn't rain on this day, where will there be water? ”
Seeing that the men in the village did not believe it, the old and weak women in the village pulled them to the small ditch at the entrance of the village, jumped down the ditch and took some water and sprinkled it on their faces, and then asked happily, "Do you feel that there is water?" Now are you convinced? ”
The men touched the long-lost droplets, and they couldn't believe it, and they were surprised and delighted: "Water! It's really water! ”
They hurriedly jumped into the ditch and drank the water in their mouths.
They hadn't had water for days, and now they were hungry and thirsty.
Although they have a lot of questions in their hearts, they don't have time to ask, they just want to quickly replenish the water in their dehydrated bodies first.
After a few sips, their original tiredness suddenly refreshed, and the whole person became much more energetic.
Only then did I finally have the strength to ask the question of this water spring.
"What's going on? How can there be water in our village, and what has happened in the village in the past few days when we are away? ”
The old and weak women and children left behind in the village only then learned about the exiled prisoners not far away, and told them: "This spring in our village was brought by this group of exile team!" ”
The men were skeptical: "How do you know they brought it?" ”
The people in the village immediately explained: "As soon as they arrived in our village, there was water, not did they bring it or who brought it?" Moreover, this water was discovered by a little girl in the group of exiled prisoners, and it was she who pointed it out to us, so that we realized that there was actually a spring in our village! ”
"I heard from this group of exile team that the little girl surnamed Su is a blessed female doll, and she pointed out our spring water first.
It must be the spring water that she brought to our village with her blessing, and she is the person of this exile team, you yourself say, is it the spring water that this exile team brought to us? ”
Hearing what the people in the family said, the men couldn't help but think so, and nodded in agreement: "Ah, yes, yes, you are right, it is indeed they who brought it, especially the little girl, we have to thank them in person!" ”
"Yes, you have to bring a generous gift to thank you, you can't go over empty-handed like this! What they brought to our village was water, which is equivalent to saving the life of our entire village, we can't afford to slack off! ”
The old and weak women and children in the village looked at their men proudly: "I want you to say that we have already brought the best things in the house to thank them, you see the chickens, ducks and geese they are killing now, as well as fried eggs, washed cabbage and radishes, which we just sent to them." ”
Hearing the women and children of the family say this, the men were a little relieved, and then beckoned, "Go, brothers, we have to thank this group of exiles!" ”
At this time, the exile team was still busy making the evening meal, and the children were playing around.
The men from Xiazhai Village walked over directly, then knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the exile team, and thanked them sincerely. "Thank you benefactor, thank you for bringing such sweet spring water to our village, it really saved the lives of our village!"
The people in the exile team, whether they were servants or prisoners, were startled, and quickly got up and helped them up: "What are you doing, thank you if you want to, talk well, don't kneel at every turn!" ”
They knew about the problem with the spring, and they couldn't afford to do anything themselves.
After the villagers of Xiazhai were helped up, they knelt down again towards Yingbao: "Little Fuxing, please accept our worship!" Thank you for bringing spring water to our village, your great kindness and great virtue will never be forgotten in our village, in the future we will set up a statue for you at the entrance of the village next to this spring, and often commemorate your kindness! ”
Hearing the words of the villagers, the exile team was shocked, and they even wanted to set up a statue for a little doll, aren't the people of this village crazy?
The people of the Su family were also frightened and hurriedly wanted to refuse, "I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it!" ”
Just kidding, Ying Bao set up a statue for her at a young age, didn't this make her die?
