Without a clue, Shen Bujiao looked at the flickering galaxy, and with a movement of his fingers, dark clouds were thick, lightning and thunder roared, and the long-lost heavy rain poured down, temporarily alleviating the drought.

One of the four fortunate things in life is that a long drought and a rain cannot save the already precarious Daqi Dynasty, but it can save the lives of thousands of people.

The next morning, after a night of pouring rain, the villagers were surprised to fill the water containers with water, and ran through the rain one by one, which was enough to rekindle hope in a pair of cloudy or dull eyes.

The rain stopped in the morning, there was water, everyone could live, in the wilderness, on the high mountains, groups of ragged people, their expressions were no longer numb and sluggish, stepping on the mud mixed with mud and rain, step by step, towards Pingling City.

The sun was still shining on this day, except for a downpour half a month ago, the sun hung in the sky every day in the days to come, Shen Bujiao and Shui Lian walked next to Ding, carrying a burden on their backs, and followed the crowd forward.

Shuilian wiped the sweat from her forehead, and her tongue unconsciously licked her dry flaky lips, the water she received that day had already been drunk, even if she saved it, the utensils for receiving water were so little, how much could it hold?

Shen Bujiao handed her his water bladder, "Drink water." ”

Shui Lian's eyebrows moved, met Shen Bujiao's smiling gaze, and took Shen Bujiao's water bladder with one hand, "Goo-goo-"

"You dead girl, let you save some drink, you don't save some drink, live like a water ghost reincarnated, how far have you gone, you drank so much water!"

Ding has always taken his daughter to the side, not far from the crowd, his clothes are full of stains and dust, and he can't see the original color clearly.

"One person has a water bladder, you drink other people's when you drink it yourself, others are not thirsty, you are more delicate!"

Shuilian fanned herself with her sleeve, it was already autumn, the cold wind was howling, but her back was wet with sweat, "Hey, my sister feels sorry for my sister, don't worry about it, do you want to drink!

Saying that, she stuffed the water bladder to Ding, and Ding scolded Shuilian twice, but Shuilian didn't hear it, she was still giggling, and she looked heartless.

Since Shen Bujiao came here, the half-month escape career finally came to a complete end when he saw the gate of Pingling City, which was not majestic.

Zhao Cheng does love the people like a son, the news here is blocked, and there is no one to come on weekdays, and suddenly there are more than two hundred outsiders, which has set off a lot of turmoil in Pingling City, Pingling City is vast and sparsely populated, and I don't know how much wasteland there is next to it, and it is no problem to accept refugees to live and work here, but this refugee is not put into the city and it is over.

The climate and topography of Pingling City are not suitable for planting crops with relatively high yields per mu, such as rice, and they are still self-sufficient, and it is very difficult to allocate food to feed more than 200 people.

Zhao Cheng is a kind-hearted person, and it is impossible to let these people die directly, and moved the next year's food from his private treasury, temporarily alleviating the life and death plight of the refugees.

The two hundred refugees were divided into different batches and went to different villages to settle down, the kind of village that was bound to be broken up, Shen Bujiao and the three weak women were powerless, and they were a family, and they were lucky to be divided together.

But the Ding family didn't ask the Yamen to give them land, her heart is clear, the land divided by the government is wasteland, how can the three of them go to open up the wasteland, it is a hard work, because Shuilian's father is a lifter, and life is not bad, several of them have never planted land, and farming is also a technical job.

Moreover, the villagers in their hometowns, their orphans and widows are not familiar with the land, they live in the village, and they have nowhere to reason if they are bullied, so the Ding family did not ask for land, but converted it into silver, although it is not a few taels, normally, it is not enough to buy an acre of fertile land.

Ding is a quick and industrious woman, with her own set of survival rules, and bought a small courtyard in Pingling City, which is very small, but the neighbors around her are friendly people.

At night, Shui Lian asked Ding, her eyes rolling slightly, "Mother, where did you get the money to buy a yard?" I remember that there is only less than six taels of silver left in my house!"

Ding Shi knocked her on the head, "Do you think I'm just like you little girl, escaping the famine, and eventually settling down, how can I live without money?" ”

Shuilian's eyes flashed, and she trotted to get the clothes she brought to escape from the famine, on the way to escape the famine, everything was good, and she was reluctant to lose it, the clothes were still made of the cloth that her mother bought for her during the New Year, but now it was tattered, that's it, she was not willing to lose it.

Ding Shi used scissors to cut the thin line under the oil lamp, and pulled out a crumpled silver ticket from it, and Shui Lian's eyes lit up suddenly, "Mother, you still have this hand!"

Ding's eyebrows raised, and he was overflowing, and then he lowered, "Originally, I wanted to use this silver to buy some water, so that your brother would not die of thirst, who knows this way, even if you have silver, you can't buy that life-saving thing......"

Shuilian pulled Ding's sleeve, "Mother, don't you still have me and Sister A now?!"

Ding pretended to be fierce and said: "What's the use of the two of you, the girl's family is going to marry someone after all! If you marry, you will be someone else's person." ”

"Then I won't marry!"

"Nonsense!" Ding patted Shuilian's back, "How can there be a girl who doesn't marry!"

Shuilian grinned and held Ding's arm intimately, "Then I'll take my mother with me, and I'll give you a pension for the end, if anyone doesn't want to, I won't marry!"

"Which girl's family doesn't bother to be ashamed of marrying or not marrying every day, what about your sister?"

Shuilian pointed out the door, "It should still be on the street, she is cute and wandering around the city." ”

"Huang Yu during the day, and at night she is not afraid of being abducted by human traffickers, and the days are just a little better, so she will act as a demon and go to find your sister back!"

Shui Lian pointed to the blue clothes that had been torn into small pieces, and her eyebrows were crooked, "Mother, you have dismantled my clothes, do you have to buy me a new one!"

Ding glared at her angrily, "What yours and mine, you were even born by me, this day has only stopped for a few days, and I am buying new clothes and adding pots and pans, for fear that people will not know that our family is rich, right?"

"Pingling City is also looking at An Sheng now, sooner or later, there will be a fight outside, and the dynasty will be changed...... Hey, what are you doing here, go find your sister, I broke your leg if I can't find it, go quickly!"

Shuilian ran away with a grin, her back was particularly cheerful, like a carefree little girl, seeing her little daughter leave, Ding's expression was obscure under the kerosene lamp, and she suddenly lowered her tears, "Da Shui, I hope you will vote for a good ......family in your next life."
