For several days, Zhaogouzi Village failed to grab the valuable, and Wangjia Village was even more tightly defended, and in the end, this group of people could only temporarily endure it.

Fortunately, they had succeeded a few times before, so that their water could last for a while, thinking that they would go when Zhaogouzi Village or Wangjia Village was relaxed.

As everyone knows, it is precisely because of this that Zhaogouzi Village was given time to relax.

Knowing that this gang of thugs could not get in, almost all the laborers of each family went to Wangjia Village to find a place where they could hide as soon as possible.

Especially the hole, before living in, you have to clean it up, strengthen the roof of the cave to prevent collapse, and put bricks and stones on the cave barrier, fortunately, there are many abandoned houses around, even if there are not many brick and stone houses, it is not particularly difficult to find these things, not to mention that there is a masonry workshop not far from Wangjia Village, and it can also be reinforced with wood, and there is more wood.

By the time the gangs felt that Zhaogouzi Village should relax, and when they returned to Zhaogouzi Village, the people in the village had already gone to empty houses.

In Zhaogouzi Village, which joined Wangjia Village, in order to seek refuge, the men also took the initiative to join the patrol.

Despite this, just when they felt that it was safe and the villains did not dare to attack Wangjia Village at will, in the middle of the night, as the gong sounded, all the men in Wangjia Village moved, and although the men of Zhaogouzi Village were afraid, they were even more afraid of being driven out.

The women and children hid in the cellar.

When hundreds of villains were entangled together and hundreds of people in Wangjia Village faced each other, the battle situation was already expected, and of course they were defeated and fled in a hurry.

This scene is playing out in many places at the same time, just for a sip of water.

Death happens almost all the time, and fear looms over people again.

The life of the Qin Shu family and the children such as Da Liu in Huajia Village is much more comfortable, it seems to be isolated from the world, and the cruelty of the outside world has nothing to do with them, they just need to close the door.

After three months of extreme heat, several wells in the village have already dried up, but the river connecting to the Yunhe River to the west of the village has not completely dried up.

Although there is no shortage of water at home, Qin Shu's father and son, as well as several older children of Da Liu, also save as much water as possible, pushing a wooden cart to the river a few miles away to get water in the coolest time of the night, and at the same time, they also reap unexpected joy because of the drop in water level.

…… Quite a few fish of different sizes.

Except for the food eaten that day, everything else was made into pickled fish and dried.

Of course, everything must be done within an hour, otherwise it will be beyond the human body's capacity, and it will be difficult to get up again once you fall.

In addition, Qin Dagen and his son occasionally found time to continue to raise the wall, although the speed was very slow, but it was better than nothing.

Then most of the time was spent in the cellar, except for the heat to control the water a little, the Qin family and Da Liu and other children were not much different from before, and there was no sense of anxiety all day long.

For this, whether it is the children, Qin Shu, Qin Dagen and his wife, they can't help but be grateful to Hua Jin, if it weren't for her, they can expect the difficult days of lack of water.

Especially the children of Da Liu Gouzi, if they didn't have the courage to come and run, I am afraid that they would be no longer there under this extreme heat, and it is said that Huajin saved their lives, and the gratitude in the hearts of the children is even more indescribable.

In the extremely hot three and a half months, the river in the west of Huajia Village also dried up completely, and the gate of Huajia Village was closed, and Qin Dagen, father and son, and their children stayed in the cellar or house for the rest of the time, except for adding height to the wall.

Let the outside heat out of the sky, at this moment the valley is still a comfortable and peaceful scene, but except because of the hot weather, I don't know how to work in the field during the day, and the watering of the fertile fields has also been changed to night, and the rest of the time is not much different from usual, as long as you don't stand under the scorching sun and are not afraid of the heat, it is no problem to walk under the trees in the valley and gossip.

It's just that there are a few others who are not afraid of the heat, and most of them stay in their own homes.

Compared with the stuffiness of other homes, Huajin's home is indeed as cool as an air conditioner.

It's time for the ice cubes stored in the winter to come in handy, and a few large pieces are placed in almost every room, and the older brother's room is no exception.

Although the eldest girl Yunniang is very strange about the origin of the ice cube, she is not a mouthy person, not to mention that their husband said not to ask.

Hua Jin sat comfortably in her grandmother's room, her eyes seemed to be looking at her mother and grandmother, and the two sisters-in-law were talking and laughing, but in fact, her thoughts had already flown to other places.

It was too hot, and Hua Jin was thinking about whether to teach the villagers in the valley to make ice, and it had only been a long time since the villagers who walked the gossip in the valley had disappeared.

It's too hot, and the hot people's hearts are irritable and their appetite is also lost, and their family is okay, but the two aunts have lost a lot of weight, and the cousin is more slimmer, even if they come to her house to eat, they have no appetite, and this is still the result of her family's daily delivery of ice cubes.

But you can't always say that you can still fool around in a short period of time when you store it in winter, but you can't do it for a long time.

The ice cubes have to have a provenance, and they can use them openly at home.

Otherwise, everyone in a village is hot to death, isn't it strange that the village chief's house is extremely cool?

In the midst of his thoughts, the brocade blew away the hair that fell on his cheeks.

It is said that it is inconvenient for a large number of people to be together, and you have to take into account other people's ideas, and you can't do whatever you want!

After a little slander in his heart, Hua Jin actually already had the answer in his heart.

It is not difficult to make ice, provided that there is nitrate.

But it was not difficult to get this thing, they had it on the mountain behind the valley, and when they found that several mountains around this place had already been touched by them, and the iron ore was not found, but a large amount of saltpeter was found, but on the dark side of the stone mountain.

No matter how cold it is, when the villagers live in the big cave, there is a deep pool in the innermost part of the cave, and the cave wall is also full of dense saltpeter, and the left is just a little effort to knock it down.

Thinking of this, Hua Jin couldn't sit still, and stood up from the circle chair suddenly, and the old woman Qi and the big girl Yunniang, who were too suddenly startled, couldn't help but look at her, with strangeness.

"What's the surprise? Is it thirsty? Qi stopped what he was doing and looked at his daughter in wonder, and said that he was about to help her pour water when she got up, but was quickly stopped by Hua Jin.

"Not thirsty, not thirsty, mother...... I suddenly remembered something, I'll go to Grandpa, you're busy with yourself. ”

Saying that, Huajin Fu Niang sat down and turned her head to go to the firewood room, at this moment grandpa, father, and Xiaosi almost stayed in the firewood room and tossed wood.

As for the two older brothers sometimes being there and sometimes not, it depends on when they want to read.

"This child ......" The old woman smiled and shook her head, seeing that she was actually still a child when she grew up, she wanted to play a play.

Hua Jin's thinking of the new daughter-in-law and the eldest girl Yun Niang are all clear, and they looked at each other and laughed when they heard the words.

Hua Jin turned his head and entered the firewood room, running to his grandfather and father.

"Grandpa, Daddy......"

The father and son, who were stared at by Hua Jin's black and white shining eyes, still had the heart to work, and they stopped and looked up at their granddaughter (daughter).
