The whole family crosses to farm

Chapter 121

"Then ask your brother." Lin Jiale walked up to the girl, knelt down and put the shoes on for the little girl, "Go and wipe your face."

Lin Qiumo didn't ask any questions, but he would know when he had breakfast.

It is really difficult to judge which place is a water storage area based on Yamagata.

I'm afraid that even the great Confucians of the time may not know.

And Lin Chunxing, who was very powerful in Lin Qiumo's eyes, was also stumped this time.

"I have forgotten the knowledge I learned so many years ago." Lin Chunxing frowned and thought for a long time, not sure: "According to common sense, the water should be in the depressions of the mountains, but some depressions were flattened later. Look at the soil and rock formations on the mountain to be sure."

Seeing that his son said something even though he didn't know much about it, Lin Jiale made a decision: "It doesn't matter, just follow what you said and find something first."

Lin Chunnong raised his hand and said, "Father, I'll take Xiaoxie to go with you. I think Xiaoxie is still very spiritual. It must know where there is water."

Lin Jiale is not good at hitting her daughter. The few times before, she took her little scorpion with her. She knew how to lead the way, but what she led was not a road with water.

"It's very hot and stuffy on the mountain now, what are you going to do with me, and help your mother at home."

Lin Chunnong: - -

She felt that there should be no water. After all, the mountain behind was so big and the trees on it were so dense, how could there be no water source below.

The family eats early, and the sun has not yet come out in the red morning glow in the east after breakfast.

Lin Jiale took the tools and went out. Fang Xiaocao also took a gourd and said, "Yesterday I saw someone go to the mountains to collect dew, and I will collect some too."

One is to deceive people: we are all people who are short of water, and secondly, we are indeed short of water. A little more is a little more protection.

Lin Jiale was worried about the children in the family, and thought for a while and said, "I'll be back in half an hour. Before the disaster, it's the most testing of people's hearts. Our family is in a mountain pass, and everyone who comes in and out passes by here. I'm worried that someone will play tricks. "

Fang Xiaocao agreed.

The two went out after talking, and Lin Chunnong wanted to go together, but they were ruthlessly suppressed.

Looking at the tightly closed door, she barked her teeth and claws in anger for a while.

Small body means no human rights.

Lin Qiumo couldn't help laughing out loud, the little girl turned her head to look at him suddenly, with a vicious look in her small appearance, he smiled and went to hold her: "It's hot outside, go back inside."

The mountains and forests are much cooler than the outside, but there is also no wind. The coolness is all brought about by the natural cooling without the sun shining through the night.

What Fang Xiaocao collected was dew on bamboo leaves, and when she met villagers, she was not in the mood to say hello.

When Xianghe's mother saw Fang Xiaocao, she broke away from the large army in the village, and came up to her and said in a low voice: "That old lady of our family is going to send the whole family to flee the famine."

Fang Xiaocao was surprised, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go to the south," Xiang Heniang said. "The old lady said that there is a lot of water and boats. If you can live a good life, you won't be hungry."

Fang Xiaocao said: "I think if you can stay at home, you should try to stay at home. The south is not necessarily good. Besides, if you want to go, you have to have money. In our eyes, a broken home is worth a lot, but we can't take everything with us. Go. If you really want to sell it if you don’t take it with you, it won’t be worth much.”

Xiang He Niang sighed: "Who says it's not. But if it doesn't rain all the time, you can't starve to death on this land."

"No matter what, we can last for a while if we collect dew in the mountains." Fang Xiaocao said, "I don't believe it hasn't rained all this time."

Xianghe Niang smiled and said: "I just like your unyielding spirit. By the way, how is your family Dongnong doing recently? Xianghe kept saying that she was going to play with her, but I was too busy, so I let her take care of her at home." Xiaochao."

Xiaochao is Xianghe's younger brother.

Fang Xiaocao saw that since the birth of her son, the fourth sister-in-law said at the beginning that she had a son to rest assured that her daughter would not be bullied in the future, but now she actually made her daughter take it for granted.

It seems that the son will definitely support his daughter in the future, and it is right for the daughter to take care of him and let him go.

Fang Xiaocao felt that this person was good, thought for a while, and persuaded: "Although the son is still young, you should not ignore the daughter. When the son grows up, he will always go to someone else's wife. The daughter-in-law is separated from us by a layer of belly." Yes, you can’t be far away from each other. But a daughter will always be the mother’s little padded jacket. If you want to grow old and not be punished, you really have to have a daughter.”

Xiang Heniang heard what the Lin family meant, and said with a smile: "I know this truth, but isn't my son still young?"

Not wanting to continue this topic, she started talking about something else, "Do you know? Hanshui's family, because of a bowl of water yesterday, fell in love with the bastard at the end of the village. Her sister-in-law has always hated her and deliberately attracted people to arrest her." Existing. You didn't see that the most ruthless beater is her brother-in-law's man."

Fang Xiaocao didn't go to the village often, so naturally she didn't hear these gossips, but the problem of survival came first, so she didn't have much to say.

Talking, collecting dew, the sun gradually rose, and the dew that was not so much on the leaves evaporated quickly.

Fang Xiaocao and Xiang Heniang went down the mountain together, and on the way, they saw many women in the village, and they all showed yellow and thin faces at this time.

It's just a drought right now. Lao Lin also said that people in this village have a strong awareness of preventing natural disasters, and almost every household has a cellar to store grain.

The ability to store food is actually the reason for the good weather in the past few years. In addition, the county magistrate, Mr. Min, is not the kind of county magistrate who only knows how to make money, so the villagers can hide some food.

Up to now, no one knows when the rain will come down. Don't we all have to save food first?In times of famine, sometimes a ration is a life.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaocao immediately understood why the villagers had turned yellow and emaciated.

"Is there any food in your house?"

The lively Xiang He Niang paused, sighed, and said, "In the past few years, the weather was good and the weather was good. There is food in the house, but we don't know when this drought will be the first."

The Lin family didn't have much grain storage, okay? Although Fang Xiaocao and Lin Jiale had been in ancient times for so many years, they still didn't have the awareness of grain storage.

Because it is inconvenient to buy, there are at most a few bags of noodles and a few bags of wheat.

But thinking that the wasteland was full of sweet potatoes, Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Xiaocao and Xiang Heniang didn't come down from the mountain until the dew was evaporated by the blazing sun, because it was convenient to lure the dew to the lower trees, so they walked a little further into the mountain.

When I went back, I passed a mountain depression. In the past, this mountain depression was actually a stream. At this time, the water had dried up long ago, and there were a few men from the village standing on the dry bottom.

Xianghe's father, Zhao Sifu, is among them, and Lin Jiale is also there.

Fang Xiaocao and Xiang Heniang looked at it, then walked over, saw the shallow pit dug out in a circle, Fang Xiaocao asked: "Can water come out here?"

When Lin Jiale saw his daughter-in-law, a smile appeared on her face flushed by the sun, "I don't know, let's try."

"Look, isn't this a mountain depression?" He pointed at the mountains on both sides while talking.

Fang Xiaocao thought in her heart, what did her son say at home, whether it is convex or concave, you can't just look at the shape.

"Brothers and sisters, there is no way, let's try." Chen Jinming at the side wiped the sweat from his face, "We all have families, and we can't take the road of fleeing famine unless we can't hold on."

The two watched for a while, then went down the mountain to go home.

When Fang Xiaocao got home, she saw her daughter lying listlessly on the stone table under the shade of a tree.

"What's wrong?" He walked over and touched his daughter's forehead, and casually put the dewy half of the gourd on the table.

Lin Chunnong was uncomfortably hot, "I want to eat ice cubes."

Fang Xiaocao saw that the weather was getting hot, so she thought for a while and said, "Okay, Mom will make you a mung bean smoothie today."

When their house was built, they left a cellar three to four meters deep. In winter, the boiled water at home froze a lot of ice.

The ice frozen in boiling water can be eaten directly, but after all, without so much energy, it can only be frozen for less than a hundred catties. In order to keep the ice cellar warm, Lao Lin hired many workers to pull several carts of ice from the river. Stacked a refrigerator in it.

From the hot ground to the underground, the more you go down, the cooler it will be. When you see the white smoke coming out from the bottom as the door opens, Lin Chunnong seems to be in heaven.

"Mother, if it's too hot, let's live in the cellar." She said happily, her voice echoing on the walls.

Fang Xiaocao laughed and said, "This place was not man-made for living in the first place, so how can we live here?"

"That's right. I've been woken up by the heat every morning, and I want to live here." As he said, Lin Chunnong rushed into the ice wall with a small bamboo basket in his hand.

"Slow down," Fang Xiaocao ordered, and then followed in.

Lin Chunnong picked up a small basket full of ice cubes, but Lin Qiumo didn't come down yet.

Just now they said they came to get ice from the cellar, and Qiu Mo said they would pour some delicious food for the chicken, and they came in, "What are you doing at the end of Qiu, I also said to let him cool down here for a while."

Fang Xiaocao took her daughter's hand and said, "The temperature is too low, so I can't keep it with me. It's like coming down later."

The mother and daughter went up layer by layer, and when they reached the third floor, and the next floor was the ground, they heard a very clear scolding sound from outside.

"You guys are such a nice house, you only have two bags of grain hidden, you're coaxing idiots," a rough voice sounded like thunder, "Boy, tell me, where is the grain hidden?"

Then came a greasy voice: "Brother Hu, they are such an easy-going peasant family, they must have a cellar, we have to investigate carefully."

Lin Chunnong quickly grabbed her mother's hand, but her whole heart was held up, her brother and Qiu Mo were still on it, and there were still canine teeth.

These people have all gone to their homes, and they don't know how the village outside is like.

Didn't Dad say that their village has united with the surrounding villages, and every village has a protection team?

Fang Xiaocao pointed to the mechanism leading to the next floor, signaling her daughter to go down.

Lin Chunnong shook his head, Fang Xiaocao turned his daughter's shoulder and pushed it there.

"Mother, don't go up." Lin Chunnong whispered.

"It's okay, as long as you hide well, I'll go out and let them come down. At worst, I'll give them all the food and vegetables here."

Fang Xiaocao looked serious, and Lin Chunnong knew that it was impossible for the mother to hide in a safe place and watch the child in danger.

"Mom, be careful." Then I put the hairpin made by my brother on my mother's head.
