For two days in a row, before Lin Jiuniang could figure out how to safely take Liu Sanni and the others out of here, something big happened in Anle Village. Someone lit a fire in the field and actually set the almost-sunburned crops on fire.
By the time they were discovered, the fire had spread rapidly and it was too late to stop it. Seeing the red-hot half of the sky and the heat wave hitting their faces, the villagers of Anle Village retreated one after another. No one dared to rush forward to put out the fire at this time.
, could only watch the crops being burned by the fire. But some people couldn't help but sit on the ground and cry loudly. Now it's all over. The crops are still there, there is still some hope, but now the crops are all gone, there is no hope
When she heard the commotion, Lin Jiuniang also walked out, looked at the boundless fire, and shook her head. Even if there is water, the fire cannot be extinguished, let alone there is no water now. These crops have been burned to the point that they can burn.
If it is not burned, it is doomed that there will be no harvest this summer. But now this fire has crushed everyone's last hope. Lin Jiuniang shook her head and went home. Anle Village was afraid that there would be chaos. By the evening, just like Lin Jiuniang
As expected, Anle Village was in chaos. Loud cries in the village alarmed Lin Jiuniang, mother and son. "Mother?"
Liu Silang tentatively looked at Lin Jiuniang who was working. "You can only watch from the door," Lin Jiuniang did not raise her head and continued to tinker with the things in her hands. The konjac powder was dried, but some impurities still needed to be removed. Liu Silang was extremely happy.
He nodded and hurriedly ran towards the door. Not long after, Liu Silang ran back with a very bad expression on his face, "Mom, the people in the village have begun to flee."
Lin Jiuniang finally raised her head and looked at the figure carrying large and small bags passing by her door, as well as the crying, "If you don't run away, you will die of thirst or starvation."
How can he live without water and crops? Liu Silang's mouth moved, but in the end he said nothing. The third sister said that everything must be done according to mother's will, and she must have arrangements, so she asked him not to ask her, but he just wanted to ask.
"You want to ask when we will leave, right?"
Lin Jiuniang didn't need to guess, she knew what Liu Silang was thinking at this time. Liu Silang nodded, "Mom, aren't we leaving? There isn't much water at home, and we can't survive for a few days."
"I have to go, but I can't leave, otherwise I'll die on the way," Lin Jiuniang shook her head, "If you walk out from here, it will take at least ten days to reach a place with water. Are you sure you can carry it?
Got ten days’ worth of water?”
Liu Silang took a breath, "Mom, those people who left..." "There is a high chance that they may turn back, or die of thirst on the way," Lin Jiuniang looked a little cold, and without water, they were destined not to go far.
Coupled with the darkness of human nature, I couldn't help but shake my head. In order to survive, some people will do anything. What's more, look at the sun, I am afraid that the disaster will spread further, and it may not be possible to walk in ten days.
After going out, Liu Silang was completely silent. Lin Jiuniang glanced at him and said, "Instead of worrying about this here, why not recite the pinyin I taught you? Can you read and recite it?"
"Mom, who are you looking down on? This is just a lot of stuff, and it's been three days and I still can't carry it out?"
When he mentioned this, Liu Silang's eyes lit up and he became more confident, "Mother, I will recite it to you."
After she finished speaking, she recited it loudly and fluently. After reciting it, she looked at Lin Jiuniang as if she was begging for praise, "Mom, how are you?"
Lin Jiuniang didn't say anything. She got up and went back to her room. When she came out again, she had a copy of the Three-Character Classic with pinyin in her hand. She threw it directly to Liu Silang: "After reading the pinyin twenty times a day, start spelling this book."
If you don’t know the Three Character Classic, just ask.”
Liu Silang took the book with joy, but when he opened the book and saw the words inside, his face became a little stiff, "Mom, did you write these words?"
So ugly! Lin Jiuniang's face darkened, "What, do you dislike it?"
"Then give it back to me."
After saying that, she stretched out her hand to grab it. She had put a lot of effort into writing this for him, but she still disliked it? "No, mother, I definitely didn't mean that."
Liu Silang quickly ducked aside and looked at Lin Jiuniang with a flattering look on his face, "Mom, I like it very much, I really do, I swear. You listen to my spelling, and then you tell me whether I made a mistake in my pronunciation, okay?"
Lin Jiuniang retracted her hand proudly, "Huh, I don't care if you read it wrong, I don't care about you."
But in the end, when she heard Liu Silang's many spelling mistakes, she couldn't help it, and she corrected him while scolding her. Liu Sanni, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. Her mother and Silang had such a good relationship.
But thinking about my mother not talking to her these past few days, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Did she do something wrong? As night fell, the wailing sounds floating in the sky above Anle Village gradually became quiet. But Lin Jiu's mother's house
But she seemed particularly uneasy because an uninvited guest came to her home. Faced with Zhao Yaqi who confidently came to her home to ask for water, Lin Jiuniang directly sent five words, "You are sick, get out!"
Zhao Yaqi wasn't angry either. Lin Jiuniang was the only one with water now. She took out a silver coin from her arms and said, "Buy a bucket of water. Is that enough?"
Then he stared at Lin Jiuniang with warning eyes, "Don't go too far, I'll tell you."
It was all the fault of the coachman who went to get water from Zhao Dezhi and didn't come back for such a long time. She couldn't even wash her face and go to bed. Lin Jiuniang curled her lips and showed a touch of sarcasm. In the face of drought, water is life. Who would sell their life?
Give it to her? I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with her and just kick her out. For this kind of person who feels good about herself, it’s a waste of words if you talk to her, so after kicking her out, close the door in front of her, which is the best match for her.
But thinking that she had a carriage... Lin Jiuniang's eyes flashed, and she suddenly felt that she had been a little hasty when driving people away. But the knock on the door was damn pleasant. Lin Jiuniang took two steps back and opened the door suddenly. Ben slapped the door angrily.
Zhao Yaqi raised her hands and looked at Lin Jiuniang with dull eyes. Why did she open the door? For a moment, she actually forgot how to speak. In normal operation, shouldn't she just ignore her and leave after being tired of patting her?
"Want to buy my water?"
Lin Jiuniang asked maliciously, "Your money is not enough, and I don't want any money."
Zhao Yaqi came back to her senses, her eyes filled with suspicion, "You don't want money? What do you want?"
If Mrs. Liu and her family were not too lazy to protect the remaining bucket of water as if they were her own sons, wouldn't she have gone out to buy water from the person she hates the most? "Carriage!"
Lin Jiuniang looked calm and said, "For a jar of water and a hundred taels of silver, I will buy your carriage."
Zhao Yaqi looked Lin Jiuniang up and down and sneered, "The ambition is really big."
"Haha, I just want to use this little water and this little money to buy my horse. Don't be too fancy. Just go ahead and dream. Xiaoju, let's go back."
After saying that, she led the people away angrily. Damn it, Lin Jiuniang actually took advantage of the situation to rob her. Xiao Xiang’s carriage didn’t even have a door. Lin Jiuniang said slowly, “After passing this mountain, there is no such store. Today I am willing to go out
If I exchange the water in the vat for your carriage, I may not be able to produce so much water tomorrow."
"You're dreaming, and I won't change it."
In the darkness, Zhao Yaqi's slightly angry voice came. Lin Jiuniang didn't speak anymore, but raised the corners of her mouth, Zhao Yaqi, you will come back and beg me for a change.
