14 And the whole village met
After returning home, Lin Qianqian didn't remember an important thing until he put down the basket.
She forgot to buy chickens in the system.
She suddenly wanted to cry without tears, and it seemed that she could only eat boiled Huaishan at noon.
It's hungry, but it's really not delicious.
Now that she's home, it would be weird if she suddenly conjured up a big live chicken.
This can only be done.
Lunch is simple, scrape the skin of Huaishan and throw it into the iron pot, add a little salt, plus a little chicken fat boiled out by Daddy Lin yesterday, it is the most simple boiled Huaishan.
Unlike Lin Qianqian, the Lin family all ate happily.
In the past two days, they have found so many Huai Mountains, and today they also found such a large area of horses' hooves, as long as the horses' hooves in the valley are dug out, they will not have to worry about the food for the winter.
Lin Mingming grabbed a Huaishan in his hand, gnawed on it, and asked vaguely: "Sister, tomorrow we will take lunch up the mountain to dig, and then transport the horse's hooves back when it gets dark at night, otherwise we will go back and forth too many times, and the people in the village will notice what we are digging sooner or later." ”
Daddy Lin nodded, expressing his incomparably agreed.
Aunt Lin didn't speak, but she obviously agreed with Lin Mingming in that way.
Lin Yueyue immediately raised her hand and suggested: "I think we can hide the horse's hooves on the mountain and find a chance to transport them down later." ”
"I don't think so, if someone finds out, someone else will pick up a big bargain." Lin Guangguang protested vigorously, and he was so excited that he sprayed all the Huaishan that he ate in his mouth all over the table.
Lin Qianqian groaned for a moment, it seemed that the whole family wanted to dig up that valley.
But it's really tiring to dig like this, and you can't just eat horses' hooves in the future, right?
After she found konjac by the river yesterday, she wanted to try making konjac tofu.
Konjac is a thing that this dynasty will not eat, she believes that as long as she makes it and buys it in the county, she will definitely lead a trend, and maybe she can earn the first pot of gold with this.
It's not a way to go up the mountain every day to dig wild vegetables, and you have to have money in your hands.
What's more, if the river is really cut off, this place will not be suitable for survival, and maybe the whole village will have to flee by then.
Her family can't escape with so many horses' hooves, right?
Lin Qianqian was secretly planning in his heart, and before he knew it, a bowl of Huaishan had already been eaten.
As soon as the Lin family had eaten their fill, the sound of "bells and bells" came from the village.
It was the mayor calling everyone to a meeting.
Everyone was curious about what the chief was going to say, so everyone ran eagerly to the entrance of the village.
Those who hadn't eaten lunch simply went with their rice bowls in hand.
The lieutenant still stood on the highest stone.
He secretly counted the crowd of people under the black pressure, and felt that everyone had arrived.
He raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
He said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, the drought has been going on for more than half a year, and seeing that there is only a little water left in the river in the past few days, I am afraid that that little water will not last long." ”
"Yes, there is less water today, and I am afraid that tomorrow there will be no water."
"I'll just say, the lieutenant must have found a solution to the water."
"Gee, that's great, I've got to take a good shower if there's water."
"Dog, you are lazy and don't take a bath, and it won't affect you if there is water in the village."
"Who said that, I was saving a little water for everyone, so I couldn't bear not to take a bath."
"Cut ~~~~~"
.......
As soon as the lieutenant chief made a start, the villagers began to talk excitedly.
"Everybody be quiet, everybody be quiet, all listen to me, all hear me." The chief raised his hand again and pressed it down, and said loudly.
But when the villagers heard the news of the water source, they were so excited that they couldn't stop talking.
Lin Dashi, the son of the chief, jumped to the side of the chief and roared: "Quiet! Be quiet! Be quiet! ”
The chattering villagers finally quieted down.
Li Chang cleared his throat and continued: "Today I invited an immortal who travels all over the world, he has a way to ask for rain for the people, I have asked the people of several nearby villages, they have already asked this immortal to ask for rain for their village, although our village is poor, not as rich as other villages, but the matter of asking for rain cannot be neglected, so I have already made the decision to invite the immortal over." ”
After the lieutenant chief finished speaking, he jumped off the stone and personally helped a white-bearded old man to the stone.
The white-bearded old man stood on the stone, his eyes half-closed, and the old god was reciting a poem on the ground.
Natural disasters and droughts are unstoppable,
Troubled times and disasters are coming,
The people's livelihood is desolate and desolate,
How can I tolerate the immortals?
The poem recited by the white-bearded old man was not difficult to understand, and all the villagers understood it.
After the white-bearded old man finished reading the poem, he closed his eyes and sat down on the stone.
The villagers below were not calm, and panic spread through the crowd in an instant.
"Oh, listen to the immortals, is there a greater calamity in the future?"
"No one in our village has starved to death, but if the autumn harvest can't harvest food, won't everyone have to starve to death?"
"Oh, I've lived most of my life, and I really haven't encountered such a drought, so what disasters will there be in the future."
"But no, our north is the Beiyi country, and the two countries haven't fought for many years, will there be a war in the future?"
"What's that going on? I have relatives in the south, so I'll go to them. ”
......
The lieutenant chief looked at the noisy villagers, raised his hand and pressed down, and said loudly again: "Everyone be quiet! Quietly! Quietly! ”
The villagers looked at the governor again.
Li Chang cleared his throat and said, "Don't panic, everyone, don't panic, didn't I say it just now?" This immortal will help us ask for rain, and as long as there is rain, there will be water, and where there is water, there will be food. ”
This was unanimously agreed by the villagers, and the panic immediately dissipated.
The lieutenant chief continued: "There are rules for asking for rain, and it is not easy for immortals to ask for rain, so they have to give immortals five taels of silver for their hard work." ”
The governor's words immediately made the crowd below explode.
Five taels of silver, that is, 5,000 copper plates, can be used to buy rice can buy 500 catties, enough for a family of six to eat for a whole year.
What kind of immortal is this? It costs five taels of silver for hard work?!
The villagers were noisy again.
The lieutenant raised his voice again: "Other villages have already begged for rain, if our village doesn't ask for it, the rain will go to other villages by then." ”
"The immortals said that God has a certain amount of rain every year, and if we don't ask for it or ask for it late, then the rain will be gone."
"As the head of our village, I have the final say, this rain is decided, as for the five taels of silver, each family will make up ten cents, and the rest of the village will pay at public expense."
"If there is a family that can't come out, then get out of Quxi Village, and don't be a person from Quxi Village anymore."
The lieutenant chief said everything to this, and the villagers below did not dare to object.
Lin Qianqian wanted to protest, but he didn't want to be too conspicuous.
She has so much to do, there's no need to waste time on such small things.
Therefore, when Lin Dashi came down to collect the cash with a tray, Lin Qianqian happily paid ten cents.
The copper plate fell on the tray with a clatter, and it hurt to see Daddy Lin and the others.
The dragon and phoenix swallowed fiercely.
"Eldest sister, ten copper plates can buy a lot of rice to eat."
Lin Qianqian touched the head of the dragon and phoenix fetus with one hand and comforted: "It's okay, the eldest sister will take you to eat and drink spicy food in the future." ”
Slippery!
The dragon and phoenix fetus swallowed hard.
