"Mother, I'm so thirsty, give me some water..."A dry voice sounded behind him.

Mrs. Feng and Xia Huai turned around at the same time, only to see a girl about seven or eight years old, with a small body and thin body that could be blown down by a gust of wind, and her little face was tanned and red.

The young woman next to her was carrying a two- or three-year-old baby, carrying things in both hands, and pots and pans were hanging in front of her.

The young woman shook her head in embarrassment, and whispered, "Wait a little longer, and you will be able to drink it when you find the river." ”

The little girl couldn't help crying: "Mother, we still have water, I heard it, I'm dying of thirst..."

"No way!" The young woman refused without hesitation: "This little bit of water is only jingling, and it will be left for your father and your brother to drink, okay, stop talking, if you don't speak, you won't be thirsty!" ”

"Alright, give her a sip." Her man said with a frown.

"But..."

Before the young woman could finish speaking, there was a sudden plop, and the little girl fainted.

The young woman screamed, quickly dropped the sack in her hand, and threw herself at her daughter.

Seeing that the woman was finally willing to feed her daughter water, Mrs. Feng turned her head: "Hey, God really doesn't give her a way to live!" ”

Xia Huai nodded: "It's not..."

After eating, each family sent a person to the meeting.

It was Mrs. Feng who went to the meeting at Lao Xia's house.

When she passed, Village Chief Zhang was hooking shoulders with the rich families in the village, and she didn't know what she was talking about, but she let go of her hand and stood up straight with some embarrassment when she saw Mrs. Feng.

Mrs. Feng gave him a cold look, stood aside and waited for everyone to come to the meeting.

"Everyone can also see that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are two main things to talk about today's meeting."

"The first is that we will start walking in the evening, and find a place to rest during the day, especially at noon, to save ourselves from the heat."

"The second is that seeing that there are more refugees on the road, we have to select some people to patrol, otherwise we won't be able to run away if we encounter anything!"

"Of course, in addition to these two things, there is another one that needs to be contributed by every family. Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter and the land is getting drier, I hope that everyone will pay more attention when walking to see if there are any rivers or something. ”

When the village chief finishes explaining the matter, it is time for the villagers to speak.

"Village chief, how do you choose this patrolman? Is it young or young or young? How many to choose? You haven't said that yet! ”

Li Sangen's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said loudly: "Village chief, my leg is lame, I must not be selected for this patrol, and I can't go one trip after ten trips!" ”

The crowd couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, Li Sangen's leg is not that serious, but he is too lazy. This kind of thankless work, he can hide!

Village Chief Zhang's face darkened: "You don't have to patrol, but if you find water or other prey in the village, you can't divide it!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Sangen immediately said unprincipledly: "Forget it, I'll go on patrol!" It's okay, village chief, you don't have to worry about me, although I am lame, I still walk very fast! ”

The villagers were so angry by Li Sangen's shamelessness that they couldn't speak, and they all pointed at Li Sangen and scolded with a smile:

"I said Sangen, you are not too young, if you are so lazy, who will dare to marry you!"

"That's right, in another year, you'll be thirty! Look at the age in our village, the babies are all in their teens! ”

The old man also persuaded earnestly: "You can't gamble anymore in the future, once you get involved in gambling, what can you do in the future!" In the past, my wife was separated because of gambling money..."

Li Sangen didn't go back this time, he just hung his head and muttered: "Who doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law, and I don't want to see who can take a fancy to me!" ”

He is not good-looking, he is old, and he has a bad reputation because of gambling money, so let alone a little lady, widows pick him!

Sangen is also picky, he doesn't want to find someone as lazy as himself, he can't look down on the diligent but ugly one, this back and forth, it's not dragged on until now!

Seeing that Li Sangen couldn't lift his head when the villagers said it, Village Chief Zhang finally felt a lot more relieved, and waved his hand at the villagers: "Okay, the patrolling people are looking for young adults, each family sends one person, and if there is no man in the family, some food will be provided, so you can't let people work without food, right?!" ”

The patrol dry food village chief Zhang also thought about it, so that there were no more young and middle-aged people in the family, and the rest of each family would be almost enough for half a catty.

After discussing the matter, the talents of Xiushui Village dispersed.

Xia Huai was also thinking about things at this time, she felt that it was not a problem to be short of water all the time. On such a hot day, if people can't hydrate in time, they will really die!

And she still has some disgust in her heart, she doesn't dare to dislike others, after all, everyone doesn't have this condition. But she has! She really wanted to find a chance to wash her hair and shower! It's really scary not to take a shower for half a month in a row!

The space manor has a well for irrigation, and there is also a stream, if you don't like it, you can also exchange points for drinking water, there are bottled and barreled.

So she really doesn't lack water.

But the question is, how can this water be taken out openly?

She'll have to think about it.

At the same time, Village Chief Zhang was receiving a special villager.

The old woman was on crutches and waved to Village Chief Zhang with trembling hands: "Village Chief Zhang." ”

Village Chief Zhang's eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "Why is Granny Wang here?" ”

When Granny Wang heard this, she suddenly burst into tears: "Village chief, you have to help me!" ”

Speaking of Granny Wang, this is also a miserable person. Her wife left early, her son was a gambler, and in the end, he quietly sold his wife and children! What's even more annoying is that he still wants to sell the house in the village, but they don't want it, so he runs away.

There is a daughter, but she is not well married, and she can't help her.

Fortunately, there is a granddaughter with her, because her granddaughter is small and she is a girl, she can't sell it at a good price. It was also because of the coincidence that day that Granny Wang's granddaughter went to the river to wash clothes, so she escaped!

But because of Granny Wang's misery, Village Chief Zhang felt panicked.

"Granny Wang, you say it first, if I can help, I will definitely help!"

Granny Wang's face was better, and she snorted and said, "I want to borrow some water, you also know that my family has a small population, and my wife and I have bad legs, so I can only let my granddaughter go to fetch water... How old is she, and she hasn't grabbed much water, so now that there is no water at home, I want to borrow a bowl of water, wait, and return it to you when I find water..."

The more she talked, the quieter her voice became, in fact, she also understood that she borrowed water like this is nothing more than asking for water, and she couldn't grab too much last time, can she expect to grab more next time?

But she had no choice but to come to the village chief.

Village Chief Zhang also understands, who made him the village chief?

"Well, I don't have much left at home, but a bowl of water can still be evened out... Wait, I'll scoop it for you! ”
