Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 280 Son in the Coal Mine

Qingwa ate all the pancakes in his hand.The pancakes did not taste very good, as the old man said, they were dry and hard.Such pancakes sacrifice the taste, but can greatly improve the storage capacity.In a dry place, it won't go bad after ten days and half a month.

After eating the pancakes, the old man laughed again: "You're starving! But, don't eat too much! If you eat too much, you'll easily stretch your stomach! Go, there's a water tank over there, go drink some Water! Just rest for a while!"

Qingwa nodded and walked to the side of the water tank.There, there was still half a tank of water left, so he picked up a ladle on one side, scooped out some water, and drank it.After walking for a long time just now, he was almost hungry.Young people are already in the stage of growing their bodies, eating a lot and getting hungry quickly.

However, after eating and drinking, he did not forget about his affairs.

"Grandma, your vegetable fields are all dry. Where is the burden? I'll get you some water!" Qingwa looked at the yard, as if it had been left unattended for the past few days. Layers of leaves.The water tank is half full and the vegetable garden is dry, which seems to highlight the fact that there are no people who can work in this family.

However, the pancakes that the old man took out just now were obviously not eaten by himself.The old man had bad teeth, so he definitely couldn't bite into such hard pancakes, and for some reason, just taking out two at random was a bit too much.

"You kid, I'm giving you a piece of cake to see that you're hungry, and I can't finish it all by myself." The old man's tone was a bit accusatory: "Why now, it seems that I want you to help me with work! You Ya, rest!"

Qingwa stubbornly said: "Grandma, when I was at home, I used to carry water all the time! Besides, I'm too full to eat two pancakes! You'd better let me move around!"

The old man lowered his head slightly, looked at him, and said helplessly: "Okay! The burden of carrying water is in the house, on the east side of the door, go and get it! Remember, a child like you is still growing, so don't carry it." Too much, too heavy!"

Qingwa responded, and after entering the room, she carried the burden on her shoulders and walked out quickly.On the way, there were still quite a few villagers, but when they saw a refugee with a strange face carrying a load of water, his eyes were full of scrutiny.

Qingwa knew that these villagers were too wary.Even if he wanted to inquire about some news, it would probably be difficult.Currently, the only breakthrough he sees is the old man.

There is obviously a labor force in the elderly's home, otherwise there is no way to explain whether it is making pancakes, or the previous vegetable plots and water tanks.But why is the workforce gone now?Qing Wa keenly felt that her breakthrough might be in this place.

Of course, if he asked directly, the old man would probably not hide it from him.But... I just ate two pancakes.As a family that has lost the labor of their prime of life, these two pancakes are considered precious.If he just finished eating like this, patted his butt and left, Qingwa felt that he would definitely not be able to pass the test in his heart.Even if you have a question, you have to do something before asking.At least, you can still calm your conscience a little bit.

Although Qingwa is young, her strength is not weak at all.Those who can serve as scouts in the army are generally extremely powerful people.Because the so-called scouts are actually not just spying on intelligence, in many cases, they are also responsible for cleaning up the enemy's scouts.

If one is careless and is run away by the opponent, then the route of his army may be exposed.Moreover, scouts are generally one or two people, at most ten people in a team.No matter how many, it is easy to expose the target.Therefore, the position of scout can't catch fish!There are basically no weak people who can be scouts.

Qingwa was able to become a scout because he was one of the few young people who were at the front.So, it was just a load of water. Not long after, the vegetable field in the yard was watered and the water tank was full.Even the bucket carrying water, Qingwa was filled with water.

The old man watched Qingwa come and go in the yard, and kept rubbing his eyes.

When Qingwa put down the water load, the old man stepped forward and touched his face, and said in a trembling voice: "My son, where is your family from? What disaster happened?"

Qingwa was silent for a moment and did not speak.As a scout, he must not reveal his information.And if he was asked to say a piece of fake news casually, he didn't want to lie to the old man.I had no choice but to remain silent.

The old man didn't take it seriously, and sat back again: "Son! I originally had a son in my family! This yard will be reserved for him in the future! But now, no one wants this yard! Do you want it?"

The frog's heart moved, and he followed the old man's words and asked: "Grandma, what do you mean by that? Where's your son?"

The old man sighed and leaned against the door frame: "My son... works in the coal mine! Before, life was good! He went out every morning and came back at night with two big coins in his hand. Tell me, say 'Mother, I earned two big coins today, I'll buy you something!', saying, 'Mother, wild boar meat was roasted in the mine today, I'm full, and I brought you meat back'!"

The old man’s gaze was deep and distant: “But, the coal mine is different! My son hasn’t come back for a long time! I sit on the door and wait for him every day, but he...has never come back! Speaking of watering the ground! This kid, if I see him again, I must beat him!"

Qingwa was worried for a while.The old man's son was probably the first batch of farmers who worked with the lord... Now that something happened in the coal mine, these people have disappeared.Naturally, the old man had not seen his son for a long time.

"Grandma, do you know where he went?"

The old man glared: "I know! Why didn't I know? He is in the coal mine! If I hadn't been too old to walk, I would have gone to him long ago! The Si Heizi next door has to say, the coal mine is gone, my son said Maybe he's dead, bah! That brat must be trying to anger me!"

"You don't know, I beat him up for stealing food from my family when he was a child! I hold grudges to this day!"

Qingwa nodded.In fact, what the four sunspots said is most likely what the locals know about it.However, the old man was still unwilling to believe it.

The old man suddenly raised his hand, pointing at a person at the door: "Boy, look, that's Si Heizi! He must be trying to get mad at me again!"

At the door, a simple and honest middle-aged man looked helpless: "Ma'am! How many years have you remembered that matter! I'm here to fetch water for you!"
