Farming in Nongmen: After breaking off the marriage, she became the favorite of Lord Hou

Chapter 183 Qingqing Finds the Water Source
The next day.

At dawn, Yu Qingqing was awakened by thirst, her throat was about to smoke, she turned over suddenly and got out of bed, went to the table to find water, but accidentally knocked over the teapot, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

She shivered in fright, and put one hand on the corner of the table.

Hearing the movement in the house, Wei Yu rushed in quickly, and asked worriedly, "Little girl, what's the matter?"

Yu Qingqing looked back and smiled, but her face was a little pale, and she said softly, "It's nothing, I just want to drink some water."

"Tian Yi, pass on the doctor."

After finishing speaking, he quickly took off the water bag on his waist and asked her to sit down quickly. Visibly flustered by the naked eye, he handed the water to her mouth and said with some guilt, "Little girl, I have made you suffer."

She gulped down a few sips of water, shook her head and said, "Master Hou, don't blame yourself, I may be a little bit dissatisfied, so I don't need to tell the doctor."

Wei Yu stared at her closely, his big watery eyes were particularly beautiful, and he wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth for her.

Doting replied, "Let the doctor take a look at Wufang, and this Marquis is also relieved."

She knew she couldn't beat him, so she agreed.

……

The doctor came soon, followed by Tian Yi.

The doctor is an old man in his 60s, dressed in black plain clothes, looks clean and neat, but his back is a bit stooped.

His face was haggard, and he looked serious and dehydrated. Yu Qingqing straightened his body, and the doctor took a pulse.

Two minutes later, he turned around and said respectfully to Wei Yu, "Reporting to Lord Hou, this girl is just overworked and exerted too much force, and she has lost her energy. She needs to rest for a few more days."

"Go down and cook a few tonics for the girl."

"Go." He waved his hand and said.

Too much force?Lack of energy?Yu Qingqing recalled the scenes at the Beacon Tower last night, two blushes involuntarily appeared on her small face, and she dared not look directly at Wei Yu's affectionate eyes.

He kept his head down and remained silent until he could no longer hear the footsteps of the doctor and Tian Yi.

Wei Yu gave her another two sips of water, and jokingly said, "Little girl, why are you blushing?"

"Who is blushing?" She tilted her head and said duplicity.

The corners of Wei Yu's mouth rose slightly, not to mention seeing through, he patted her head lovingly, and said in a low voice, "Then you don't go to Hongshi Town today, and take a good rest in the barracks."

"No, I have to supervise myself." She immediately refused, the key is to worry.

Does this little girl not care about her body so much?His face sank a bit, and he said expressionlessly, "Little girl, do you not believe in Ben Hou's ability? Or do you not believe in your own judgment?"

Asked her heart on.

In fact, she was a little unconfident, afraid that there would be no water source underneath, which would make everyone happy.

She scratched her head, and replied a little nervously, "Master Hou, you are really clever, I... I am not [-]% sure that I can dig out the water source at the place yesterday."

"The main reason is that so many people are watching eagerly, and they don't know what to do."

In front of him, she doesn't need to pretend to be strong, she can even be so weak that she can't take care of herself.

I am also willing to expose my shortcomings or lack of self-confidence to him.

After speaking, he looked straight at Wei Yu, afraid that he would turn from excitement to disappointment.

Wei Yu smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to pinch her little face, and said comfortingly, "It's okay, this Marquis's little girl is the smartest, you have to believe in yourself."

"Ten thousand steps back, even if there is no water source at the foot of the mountain in Hongshi Town, we can continue to look for it, can't we?"

This man is always so gentle in front of her, and he speaks in a low voice.

The power is high, the gold, silver and jewels are as rich as a country, and the most important thing is that he is extremely handsome. This face is as sharp as a knife, and God really looks at him.

What is lost will be tasted back to him in another way.

Just like myself, I was betrayed by a scumbag in that world and committed suicide by jumping into the river. Fortunately...God has eyes.

Let her soul live again, and then she will meet the man who loves her like fate.

She pursed her pink lips, threw herself into Wei Yu's arms suddenly, and said with moist eyes, "What Hou Ye said makes sense, I won't go to Hongshi Town today, remember to ask someone to go to the blacksmith shop and get the things I ordered Take it to Hongshi Village."

"This Marquis knows, I'm looking for some water for you." He looked the same as before, never thought that one day, he would be so pleasing to a woman.

In the years when he was kicked out of the Hou Mansion by his father, he once swore that he would never marry a wife in this life.

So in the years when he got along with Xiaoyue, he did feel tempted, but in the end he was murdered in the unsightly past.

Until I met the person in my arms, all the rules broke by themselves, and I just wanted to be with her and protect her for the rest of my life.

In terms of age, he also had grudges, but in the end he couldn't resist Qingqing's sneer.

The sun had already risen high, and the heat was blowing in, and the whole barracks seemed to be roasting on the stove, and the hot people were upset.

The two got bored for a while, and Wei Yu set off for Hongshi Village.

I don't know who leaked the news, and the foot of the mountain was surrounded by refugees and ordinary people.

Some men dragged their hoes and said they were going to help. In order to prevent the stampede, Ruhu sent Wei Jiajun to drive everyone out of Hongshi Village.

Only some young and strong men were selected and asked them to dig wells together. In order to survive, some people suffered from heat stroke and were unwilling to put tools in their hands.

"Subordinate, see Lord Hou." Ruhu saw Wei Yu from a long distance away, and quickly went up to meet him.

"What's the matter?" Wei Yu looked at the foot of the mountain, looking at the dark people struggling to dig a well.

"It took less than an hour to dig."

The sound of hoes colliding with stones, as well as the voice of men yelling, made some people wonder, "Is this kind of aimless digging really useful? It won't let us have a good time."

"I heard that she's just a girl. Shouldn't you ask a Feng Shui master for this kind of thing?" A middle-aged man with a full beard and a shallow scar on his brow and eye looked a bit hideous.

It looks like it should be a villager from Hongshi Town.

A man next to him also echoed and said, "Yes, how can a woman be involved in such a big event, is it unlucky?"

"Yes, yes..."

"..."

Their discussions had already reached Wei Yu's ears. With a gloomy face, he walked over quickly, stood in front of the bearded man, and said coldly, "Throw him out like a tiger."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Ruhu strode up, grabbed the bearded man's clothes, dragged him to the outskirts of Hongshi Town, threw him into the refugees, and said viciously, "Whoever spreads rumors and creates panic will be killed without mercy."

"If you are the first offender, I will spare your life first, and the next one will not be an example."

The bearded man turned pale with fright, his legs and feet trembled uncontrollably, and suddenly fell to his knees, "My lord, I know I was wrong, thank you for your mercy."

He slapped himself on the mouth again, staring at Ruhu anxiously.

This slap was not light, and the area around the lips soon became red and swollen, scaring the others so that they did not dare to speak.

Scorching sun.

Many Wei Jiajun took off their shirts, and after drying their arms, the sweat dripped down their cheeks like taking a bath.

In this way, two days passed, and a big deep pit appeared in front of everyone.

On the third day, the things Yu Qingqing beat in the blacksmith's shop officially came in handy.

She changed the foreign pick into a "big nail" shape, fixed the tail with a thick hemp rope, and then raised it with a high shelf, and sent a dozen people on the left and right to pull it hard, and put it down quickly.

The pointed part was directly smashed down to a depth of more than one meter, and the operation was repeated. In just two hours, it was smashed down to a depth of 400 meters.

I have to say that this method is really fast and effective, and many people are full of praise.

Ru Hu rolled his eyes at the side, glared at the men who were arguing, and said indifferently, "Don't you look down on women? Let me tell you, she is the future wife of the Hou Mansion, so please pay attention to what you say."

Several men stopped talking, picked up buckets and started lifting soil.

Tian Yi couldn't do a good job, and when it came to eating No.1, he didn't know where to get some wild fruits, so he ran over here and shouted, "Master Hou, Miss Qingqing, do you see what my subordinates have brought for you?"

If you look closely, you can see that he is carrying a big bag of things in his clothes, which look like wild fruits, both red and green.

Yu Qingqing kept staring into the pit without blinking her eyes. When Wei Yu handed over the wild fruit, she didn't even look at it, and just put it in her mouth and bit it.

In an instant, he frowned, narrowed his eyes, and vomited out, "What is this? It's sour and astringent."

"It's wild fruit." Wei Yu was also eating, without even frowning, as if he was eating some delicious food.

Yu Qingqing turned her face and asked in a low voice, "Master Hou, don't you find it hard to swallow?"

"feel."

"Then why are you still eating with relish?"

"I'm used to it. During the war, when there was no food, the Wei family army would eat all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants." He said it very calmly, with a hint of arrogance on his delicate face.

Yu Qingqing "..."

Tian Yi heard it from the side, and said in agreement, "Miss Qingqing, don't believe it, everything Master Hou said is true."

"I think back on the battlefield, several Wei family brothers just lay down the snake skin and ate the snake meat raw. The snake blood flowed from the corners of their mouths."

He also learns and gestures.

The bloody picture had already appeared in Yu Qingqing's mind, her white and tender face became distorted, and she frowned and asked, "Is it so fierce?"

"There are more fierce ones, do you want to listen to Miss Qingqing?" Tian Yi's mouth flickered with a smile.

She waved her hands again and again, "No, I don't want to have nightmares."

"Miss Qingqing, you are too timid." Tian Yi said with a smile, taking a mouthful of sour wild fruit.

Yu Qingqing drooled while watching, and quickly looked aside.

Overlooking the dusk of Hongshi Town, it is like a golden moon falling in the sky, kissing the dry countryside.

From the village where the smoke is curling up, dogs bark and chickens crow from time to time, like a distant and hazy dream, but in this dream, countless people worry about a drop of water.

After digging for so long, it seems that today is going to return in vain. Yu Qingqing's face was full of disappointment. Wei Yu looked at her distressedly, and said comfortingly, "Little girl, don't lose heart, let's continue tomorrow."

A Wei family soldier at the bottom of the pit dug for a few days, got angry, picked up the foreign shovel, and smashed it down hard. "His grandma's, digging for a few days, there is not even a shadow of water..."

"I'll go, Master Hou... Master Hou, there is... water."

That Wei Jiajun shouted ecstatically, incoherently excited.

Yu Qingqing was the first to hear the sound, ran towards the edge of the pit in a panic, lay down on the ground, and looked towards the bottom of the pit.

Several Wei family soldiers were already submerged to their knees, and they were having fun inside excitedly.

Someone shouted in disbelief, "There is water, finally there is water, God open my eyes..."

"Yes, give us water quickly, we need water, please..." Several refugees rushed into the town frantically.

The Wei family army couldn't stop them, Ruhu turned to Wei Yu who was not far away, and shouted, "Master Hou, what should I do?"

Wei Yu was ecstatic to see Yu Qingqing, smiling innocently like a child.

It turns out that happiness is so simple. While she was laughing, she was already intoxicated by it, and she couldn't help laughing along with it.

He hurried to the entrance of the town and yelled loudly, "Everyone, be safe, don't be impatient, don't fight, and slowly line up and walk in."

"From now on, there will be no shortage of water in Yingzhou. If anyone wants to snatch it, then don't blame me for being rude."

The cold words made the common people present feel chills down their backs on a hot day.

Pick up the pots and pans and line up neatly.

Yu Qingqing lay on the edge of the pit, and told the people below, "You guys, come up quickly, and hit it hard with a pickaxe."

"Yes, Miss Qingqing."

After a few Wei family soldiers responded, they quickly climbed up along the hemp rope. Everyone pulled the rope hard and smashed it one last time.

In an instant, groundwater gushed out like a fountain and flowed downhill.

Everyone cheered, Yu Qingqing stomped her feet happily, took a mouthful with her hand, and tasted it.

It's really cool, and my heart is flying.

She breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wei Yu, and said, "Master Hou, hurry up and get the people in Yingzhou to carry water. I believe they must be hungry and thirsty. If they go earlier, they might save a few lives."

"Ah."

After he responded, he told Zuo Du to handle the matter.

The common people present cheered as soon as they were having fun at the Songkran Festival, and some people even leaned over the ground and drank directly from their mouths.

At this time, I can't care whether it is clean or not.

Although a little embarrassed, Yu Qingqing saw it in her eyes and warmed her heart.

Unexpectedly, it was so successful, she smiled gratifiedly, and then all the common people and refugees knelt in front of Yu Qingqing.

A man who took the lead said loudly, "Thank you, Lord Hou and Miss, for saving us and finding the water source. Otherwise, how many Liming people would have died in Yingzhou?"

"Yes, thank you, Lord Hou."

"Thank you, girl, you are a fairy descending to earth."

"Yes, yes, it is really a blessing for us to win the state, and finally have water to drink." Everyone seemed to be reborn at this moment.

A middle-aged lady, wearing a worn-out shirt, knelt in front of Qingqing with tears in her eyes.

Instead, he held a three or four-year-old girl in his arms.

The little girl's face was dirty, she might have been anxious to grab water just now, her hair was also wet, she stared at Yu Qingqing with big watery eyes.

As if thinking, why is this sister born so beautiful?
Yu Qingqing touched her little head, seeing her cute and pitiful appearance, asked in a low voice, "What's your name?"

"Sister, my name is Bao'er." Her voice was soft and sticky, and she was also very cute.

"Bao'er? Listen well." But seeing their clothes, they knew that they had been crowded in the refugee pile.
