Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 11 Shocking the whole village

Father Luo and the four hurriedly walked over with two bamboo tubes of water.

The nurse said, "This is Steward Zhou, you should tell him."

Father Luo thanked the nurse at the hospital, handed over to the housekeeper Zhou, and said, "I have seen the housekeeper Zhou."

Butler Zhou is in his early forties, slightly short in stature, with a goatee on his face, and when he looks at people, his eyes are full of light, and he asks, "Who is in charge of you?"

Father Luo stepped forward: "Luo is responsible for this."

At this time, Father Luo was speaking in Mandarin, not local dialect, which made Butler Zhou give him a high look.

"You want to exchange water for food?" Butler Zhou asked, pointing to the bamboo tube in Father Luo's hand.

Father Luo understood and handed the bamboo tube to Steward Zhou: "Yes, our village is out of food. The villagers gathered some water and want to exchange some food with the gentlemen."

Butler Zhou took the bamboo tube, took a sip, and said with a half-smile, "Minato? The earthy smell in this water was just dug out, right?"

Butler Zhou returned the bamboo tube to Father Luo, and said straight to the point: "Brother Luo, I don't want to lie to you, our master has taken a fancy to your water, as long as you take us to the water source, our master will allow you both Bags of grain, they are all fine white rice and noodles.”

Father Luo's heart skipped a beat, this week's master's appetite is really big, he wants to swallow their water.

Father Luo shook his head: "To tell the truth from Steward Zhou, this water is related to the lives of everyone in our village, but I dare not let it go out casually. If Steward Zhou is not interested, Luo will ask other masters to ask."

Turn around and leave.

Seeing that he couldn't talk to each other, butler Zhou didn't dare to rush the victims, for fear of causing trouble, he hurriedly called Father Luo and changed his words: "Brother Luo, don't be in a hurry, this is what my brother is asking, and there is no other meaning. , our master said that he is willing to exchange food for water with you."

Father Luo heard the words, and then stopped, turned to look at the housekeeper Zhou, and asked, "How to change the method? Let's talk about it first, we won't change if there is too little food."

Butler Zhou knew that Father Luo had a tough temper, and was afraid of missing this rare opportunity to change the water, so he gritted his teeth and said, "One jug of water, ten catties of refined grains."

Although the water urn is smaller than the water tank, the water is now precious, and one ounce of water is enough to exchange ten pounds of fine grains.

Father Luo didn’t want refined grains: “A urn of water and [-] catties of coarse grains. In addition to the grain, we should also give us half a catty of salt and ten water jars. Our water is limited, and we can give you four water urns at most.”

They do not want refined grains, but only those that can survive, while coarse grains are abundant and last a long time.

Butler Zhou frowned when he heard that they asked for salt, but thinking of the master's explanation, he had to answer: "Okay, just change it like this."

However, his master said that the water must be replaced, lest the water be robbed by other wealthy households in Fucheng.

The matter of changing food was settled, and they could also get salt and water jars. Father Luo and the four were very happy.

Butler Zhou ordered his servants to bring in four water urns, ten water jars, plus [-] catties of coarse grains, and half a catty of salt.

Father Luo was cautious. When he came to the mountain pass, he asked the housekeeper Zhou and the nurses to stop. The four of them carried a water urn to the mountain.

Father Luo came back and told everyone about the success of the food exchange. Everyone was very happy.

The third grandpa hurriedly asked everyone to put the filtered water into the water urn and take it out to exchange food.

Everyone moved quickly. After a quarter of an hour, the four water urns were filled, two people carried one, and eight people carried the four water urns to the mountain pass.

It took a lot of time to go back and forth, the sky was already bright, and the housekeeper Zhou was anxious to wait. Seeing the torch and a few figures, he hurriedly brought the nursing home to meet him: "Brother Luo, you can come, let the old brother. Hold on."

Father Luo laughed and said: "It's a long way, it took a little effort, butler Zhou take a look, the four urns of water are all clean."

Butler Zhou asked the nursing home to light up with torches, and looked at the water from urn to urn. He scooped out the water from each urn and took a few sips. After seeing that there was only an earthy smell and nothing strange, he was refreshed. Ask the nursing home to hand over [-] catties of coarse grains, half a catty of salt and ten water jars to Father Luo.

Father Luo took it over and said, "Our business is over. Butler Zhou, please come back."

Father Luo was worried that Butler Zhou would send the nursing home to follow them, so he asked Butler Zhou and the others to go first.

Butler Zhou had already changed to the water, made a great contribution, and happily left with the nursing home and the water in the four water urns.

After watching them go away, Father Luo rushed to the mountains with the other seven people, food and water jars.

When they returned to the mountains, Gu Jinli and the others filtered out a lot of clean water. Everyone worked together to fill ten water jars and all water jars, bamboo tubes, and water bladders with water.

The third grandfather asked the big guy to put all the water and food, and the bag of precious salt together, and said to the excited everyone: "Let's divide the water and food!"

Water is good, there are two water jars for a family, as for the jars, water bags and bamboo tubes, these are owned by each family, and each family fills it up with water and takes it back.

Divide the salt into five portions, one for each family.

The coarse grains are [-] catties, and they are not weighed, so the old method is used, which is divided into bowls and bowls. After the grains are divided, they are packed in sacks.

Gu Jinli was afraid that his food and water could not be kept, so he suggested to Gu Dashan: "Father, let's hand over the food, salt, and two jars of water to the third grandpa's house for safekeeping, and take it back, I'm afraid the milk will come and snatch it. "

After listening to Gu Jinli's suggestion, Gu Dashan hesitated, for fear that it would make Mr. Gu unhappy.

The third grandmother scolded him: "You have to be filial to the sixth, and no one will stop you, but you can't starve your children and daughter-in-law to death. The things are left at my house, and the old lady will watch for you. If Mrs. Pan is dissatisfied, let her come to the old lady. Say."

Gu Dashan was scolded, remembering that Xiaoyu was injured and asked for food and Cui was beaten, he fell silent, and did not object.

Gu Jinli and Gu Jinan hurriedly moved the food, salt, and water to the third grandma.

The third grandfather looked at the already bright sky, and said to the big guy: "Dashan and Tiezhu follow me out and tell the village chief about the water source."

They have got enough water, and they have exchanged food, and now they can let the villagers come in to fetch water.

No one objected, the big guy started to pack his things, followed behind the third grandfather and the others, wrapped the food and water in weeds, and moved back to their resting place.

……

Bang Bang Bang!

The sky is already bright, and the villages are beating clappers and drums.

Gu Jiacun has finished naming names, but he did not hear what the third grandpa and his family should be, and the village chief Gu's face was very ugly.

The people of the old Gu family are gloating and daring to be late, and the Gu Dashan family will definitely be beaten by the village.

Zheng Shi suffered a loss from Gu Jinli yesterday. After returning home in the evening, Brother Zhi didn’t know what was going on. She kept shouting that her hand hurt and cried all night. He shouted: "Village chief, the rules in the village are not waiting for anyone, let's hurry up, or the Gu Dashan family has done too many bad things and died in a mountain corner."

Gu Chengzhi, who was in Zheng's arms, even cried and shouted: "Kill the bitch family to death, the bitch family should be damned, woo woo woo..."

His hand hurts, it hurts.

"Lao Liu, how do you teach the child?" The third grandpa's angry voice suddenly came, staring at the old man Gu in the crowd and said, "Brother Zhi is so vicious at his age, you know, Xiaoyu saved our entire village. life."

Hearing the words, the people of Gujia Village looked at the third grandfather, wondering what he meant by this?

The third grandpa came to the village chief Gu and whispered a few words to him. The village chief Gu was pleasantly surprised: "Is what the third brother said true? Did that girl, Xiaoyu, really find the water source?"

The third grandpa directly asked Gu Dashan to hand over a jar of water to the village chief.

"Look at it for yourself, old brother. This is the water that our five families dug out last night. It's clear." The third grandfather said in a low voice, for fear of being overheard by the nearby disaster victims.

Village Chief Gu took the water jug ​​with trembling hands, and took a few sips of water from the mouth of the jug. The water had an earthy smell, but the water was clear: "We are saved."

"Old brother, there is not much water in the pit. Let the villagers fetch water quickly. If it's too late, the water will seep out." The third grandpa reminded.

"Yes, yes, third brother is right." Village Chief Gu hurriedly told everyone about Gu Xiaoyu's finding of the water source in a low voice, and asked everyone to bring things to fetch water.

In a word, it directly caused a sensation in the entire Gujia Village.

The old Gu family was even more stunned.

Zheng screamed: "What? Gu Xiaoyu, that bitch, has found the water source? She has that life?!"
