I heard that this yard was abandoned some time ago.

The original owner's family of five lived here and originally lived and worked in peace and contentment. But recently, the weather was very dry, and there was no harvest in the fields, so the two men of the family thought about digging a well, maybe digging out water.

But the well was dug for several days, and not a drop of water was missing, and the men were about to give up.

But just as he climbed out of the well, he had just untied the rope on his body, and a strong wind wrapped in wind and sand blew over, and he directly blew the older man down.

The young man tried to hold his father, but he was also taken and fell.

The two men died and the other was disabled, which made this home that could no longer be opened even worse.

The old lady of the family sat by the well and cried and scolded, saying that this place was unlucky, and that her wife had been killed, and insisted on leaving the territory of Partridge Mountain with her family.

The chief of the village brought food to the people, and told them about it.

The well in the courtyard was still there, without any covering, and the mouth of the black hole was exposed to the air, like a monster that chose to devour people.

Xiao Ningning looked at the well, and then looked at Song Qingyou, who was gnawing on a nest head, and didn't know what to think, and a touch of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.

Song Qingyou took a bite of cold wild vegetables, which was bitter and astringent, and it was really difficult to swallow.

Xu is subconscious frowning expression was seen by the village chief, and the village chief rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "There is really nothing to grow in the field, and there are no vegetables, these wild vegetables are still dug by my wife and the women in the village to a far away place, and the hospitality is not good, don't be surprised." ”

Hearing this, Song Qingyou paused.

When she looked up and saw the village chief's honest face full of apologies, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Wild herbs may be hard to eat, but they are already the best food these villagers can get their hands on.

Maybe they themselves are reluctant to eat these wild vegetables......

Song Qingyou felt a little guilty, she tried her best to swallow the wild vegetables, and smiled at the village chief, "The wild vegetables are also very delicious, thank you for your hospitality." ”

When the village chief heard her say this, a wrinkle appeared on his face, "That's good, that's good." ”

"Hmph, fake pretend, pretend to be whom!" Xiao Ningning has always liked to dismantle Song Qingyou's platform, she also disliked this wild vegetable, and vomited after eating it, but now when she heard Song Qingyou say this, she was very disdainful in her heart.

When Song Qingyou looked at Xiao Ningning, there was no smile in his eyes, "If you don't like to eat, just stay aside, don't waste food." ”

"It's not your turn to do what I do, you ......" Xiao Ningning was about to say evil words again, but before he could say anything, he was frightened by Xiao Qishu's cold eyes.

Xiao Ningning's face turned pale, and he reluctantly stopped his mouth.

The village chief asked them to get them a few more beddings.

Although he had known that these people were exiled prisoners, he did not show any contempt, and even expressed gratitude for their arrival.

Alas, God is unfair, and even such simple people want to send natural disasters, and I don't know who they are punishing......

Song Qingyou sighed in his heart and slowly fell asleep.

Xiao Qishu lay beside Song Qingyou, listening to the steady breathing around him, his eyes flashed slightly in the dark, and he got up and walked out of the room quietly.

After about a quarter of an hour's effort, Xiao Qishu came back and lay back in his position lightly.

No one knew that he had left, and even the guards outside were asleep.

Early the next morning.

Song Qingyou was awakened by the sound of the wind whistling outside.

The wind was really loud, like some unknown terrifying creature roaring, and people panicked when they heard it.

When I got up and went out to check, I saw a patch of earthy yellow.

Both the ground and the sky are earthy yellow, and the yellow sand in the sky is blown up by the wind, so that people can't open their eyes.

Before I came, I had heard that the weather was bad on this side of Partridge Mountain, but I didn't expect it to be so bad.

With this level of wind and sand, how can they dig a canal?

Isn't that embarrassing!

It's strange that there is a drought and wind-blown sand, and crops can grow.

The village chief came over against the wind and sand and wanted to take everyone to the mountain where the canal was dug.

On this side of Partridge Mountain, there are three mountains connected, the highest in the middle, and the lower one on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, as if supporting the mountain in the middle.

The canal, on the other hand, was dug from the middle hill.

The mountains on the left are relatively densely fed, and the village chief said that someone from the imperial court had come and told them to dig to the left, and finally extend down from the ditch where the two mountains meet, all the way to the edge of the field.

Seeing Partridge Mountain, Song Qingyou subconsciously thought of the detector.

If there was a detector, she would know where the water and treasures were.

But she can't afford to change it......

The village chief gave each man a shovel, while the women helped pick up the excavated rocks and carry them down the mountain.

The villagers were already digging in the mountains, and when they saw someone coming to help, they all greeted them warmly.

The officials sat for a while, and then got up to help.

In a large group of people, only Tang Yulian's mother and son and Lin Shuang were lazy.

Old Madam Xiao was old, and the officials were afraid that she would be tired, so they directly explained the old bones here, and allowed her not to work.

But the old man can't see his children and grandchildren affected, and he also does some odd jobs as much as he can.

Only Tang Yulian, Xiao Ningning, Xiao Yiran and Lin Shuang have been lazy and don't work.

Digging the soil without force, picking up stones slowly, and pretending not to see big stones when he saw them, even the village chief couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it.

"You guys, work hard for Lao Tzu!" The bearded man couldn't stand it either, and scolded angrily with his whip.

Tang Yulian and the others shrank and hurriedly accelerated the movements in their hands.

Xiao Yiran's palm had been blistered by the wooden handle of the shovel, he frowned and watched, and then saw that Song Qingyou was handing Xiao Qishu a water bag not far away, and his heart became more and more irritable.

Song Qingyou's water is taken out of the space, so you can drink it unscrupulously. But she also knew that wealth was not exposed, so she only filled a water bag and did not fill it up after that.

The others were also a little greedy, but seeing that the water bag was getting more and more deflated, they gradually stopped thinking.

Song Qingyou looked at the woman beside him who didn't stop for a moment, when they talked just now, they heard that she was the daughter-in-law of the village chief, and she was an honest and honest person like the village chief.

"Auntie, the court asked you to dig a canal, didn't you send someone else? Just let the people in your village dig it themselves? ”

Song Qingyou pondered for a moment and pretended to be chatting.

The village chief's daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, and threw the stone in her hand into the bamboo basket, "Dig a ditch?" The court didn't let us dig a canal? Let's just say digging mountains. ”

"Digging mountains?" Song Qingyou paused, and repeated suspiciously.

Then why did the postman say digging a ditch when he delivered the decree? However, looking at the posture dug by the villagers, it really doesn't look like they want to build a canal.

They seem to be digging according to a route designated by others, regardless of whether they can get out of the water or not.

"Then the court said, what are you doing digging mountains?" Song Qingyou asked again.

The eldest lady tried to think about it, "I don't seem to say it, I should just drink water." ”
