Shangguan Ruoli saw yesterday that not only the Dong family, but also many people in Dongzhou Village did not flee the famine.

Dongming Ziyu said: "Some people are timid and dare not leave home, and some people are attached to their homes. A large number of people have a lucky mentality, thinking that maybe it will rain tomorrow, and tomorrow the court will provide disaster relief and provide food.

Already.

The owner is the latter, because he has some savings at home and thinks he can buy more grain to last until it rains or the court opens a warehouse to release grain.

Who would have thought that after waiting and waiting, all the money would be spent, the food would be exhausted, the livestock would be killed and eaten, and even the water would be gone. My body would be exhausted and I would no longer be able to bear the long journey to escape."

Shangguan Ruoli felt that these people would not easily agree to escape.

This is like a gambler who has invested so much, why should he persist for a while, maybe he will come back in the next gamble?

Both children were frightened, but now they were full, lying next to their parents, and fell asleep.

Shangguan Ruoli kissed Ling Yue's little face lovingly and said: "Our bodies are hungry for a long time and cannot eat too much at once. We need to eat smaller meals more often. I will make some meat porridge and soup."

She didn't realize that she was very concerned about and cherished Siya, whose core was Ling Yue, and somewhat ignored the 'stranger' Kogoro.

Dongming Ziyu also entered the space. He was not here to help with cooking, but to take a bath. This body was too dirty. He had not taken a bath for at least two years, and he couldn't bear it.

Shangguan Ruoli laughed and said, "You can't wash your hair, it will be easily discovered by others."

Dongming Ziyu had a look of despair on his face, "If it continues to be so dirty, I would rather abandon this body and become a lonely ghost!"

Shangguan Ruoli's eyes dimmed, "Our original bodies may be dead. Jing Yu and the others will definitely be sad if they find out. Can we still go back?"

Dongming Ziyu's eyes dimmed slightly, "We can't go back, our bodies may have been buried in the sea to feed the fish."

Seeing Shangguan Ruoli's sad expression, he quickly said: "I hope Jing Yu can find Master Huiming and find us through this space."

A little hope is always good, Shangguan Ruoli silently lit the fire to cook porridge and soup.

Dongming Ziyu went to bathe in the bathtub next to the spring. After thinking about it, he decided to wash his hair. At worst, he would get some dirt and put it on when he went out.

Shangguan Ruoli thought this method was good and took a thorough bath.

The two of them drank a bowl of meat porridge and a bowl of yam and chicken soup before they felt completely alive.

Dongming Ziyu said: "The taste is too fragrant. I have to cool it down and give it to the children, otherwise others will smell it."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded and found Ling Yue's inner garment. She had to wear coarse cloth outside, and the inner garment could be worn better. After thinking about it, she went to the warehouse again, dug out Ling Yue's childhood clothes and gave them to Wu Lang.

A lining.

After leaving the space, I saw that the children were sleeping soundly, and the two of them also slept next to them.

Not only them, but the entire boss, and even the entire village, were sleeping, lying down even if they couldn't sleep.

I'm hungry, thirsty, and have no energy. Lying down to sleep can save some energy.

In the middle of the night, there was movement in the yard. Dong Youtian, Dong Youliang and Dong Youyin took Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang and Silang with wooden carts to push barrels, and were going to dig mud in the river ten miles away to find water.

When the tide returns in the evening and morning, it is easy to find wet mud.

The eldest son is sixteen years old, the second son is twelve years old, the third son is nine years old, and the fourth son is eight years old. The eight- and nine-year-old children can already be used as half of the labor force.

Dongming Ziyu heard the commotion and went out and said, "I'll go with you."

Several people were a little surprised. The fourth brother (fourth uncle) never did such rough work as fetching water. What happened today?

Higashikata hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, you don't need to go, just rest at home."

He is relatively simple and honest and not good at words.

Dong Youliang Hui said something like this: "My fourth brother has just been injured and is weak, but he is tired and his parents are not willing to follow him."

Dong Youyin glanced at Dongming Ziyu and said nothing, but his eyes were full of dissatisfaction and envy.

Qian's voice came from the house, "Si'er, you should take good care of yourself at home!"

Dongming Ziyu had no choice but to follow them out secretly.

There were quite a few people going to get water along the way, and all of them looked dull and dull, not even bothering to say hello.

Many people had gathered on the cracked river bed, lighting torches. One group and another were digging silently with shovels.

When someone found water, many people fought over it and started fighting.

A mouthful of water may be a life. In order to survive for themselves and their families, many people have no bottom line.

The owner's people did not interfere. They held torches and looked for a slightly moist place in the river bed, so they started digging in pairs.

However, after digging very deep, no wet mud was found, so I had to dig somewhere else.

Dongming Ziyu first found a low-lying and remote place on the river bank, entered the space, dug out a few potatoes and sweet potatoes and buried them there.

Fortunately, potatoes and sweet potatoes are easy to take care of, and they grow the most.

I sprinkled some sand on the seedlings. Even so, the seedlings still look fresh, but the current conditions can only be like this.

After doing this, he went to the river bed, found a deserted place, dug a deep pit that others had dug, and lifted water from the space and poured it into the pit.

This body is so weak that it will collapse from exhaustion after carrying more than twenty buckets.

In the space, I drank a bowl of ginseng chicken soup prepared by Shangguan Ruoli to replenish my strength, and then hurried to find Dong Youtian and the others. As I ran too slowly, the water seeped out.

He patted Higashi Arita who was busy working.

Dong Youtian turned around and saw that it was him. He was surprised and said: "Fourth brother, why are you..."

"Shh!" Dongming Ziyu made a silent gesture and whispered: "Quick, follow me, I found water!"

The numb expressions of the few people were all shaken, but they did not follow Dongming Ziyu in a swarm.

Instead, they put out the torches, and first Dong Youtian and Dong Youliang left with Dongming Ziyu, and then the rest of the group, seeing that no one was paying attention, pretended not to have dug any water, and left one after another in twos and twos.

Don't underestimate the survival wisdom of little people, they are very smart.

When Higashikata saw so much water in the pit, he almost cried, "Water, so much water!"

In the past, they would dig into the mud and slowly wait for the water to seep out. They could not collect more than a few buckets a day. Today, they could happily fill the buckets with water. They were even happier than seeing money.

Dongming Ziyu said to the children who came after him: "Drink first to make you full! I feel so strong."

The children all jumped for joy, and their lifeless eyes immediately lit up, "Fourth uncle is so good!"

Everyone scooped water into the bucket and drank it, regardless of the mud and sand in it.

Eight-year-old Shiro drank half a gourd of water in one go, wiped the water on his lips with his sleeve, and looked at Dongming Ziyu with admiration, "Uncle Fourth, you are so amazing, how did you find so much water?"

of?"
