Escape from the desert

Chapter 44
Lin Fangzi bit his lip and frowned. After thinking for a long time, he explained hesitantly, "Mr. just taught me to read, not the meaning of words!"

"However, I boldly guess that this should mean that there is no water!"

Jiang Yan listened to the conversation between the two, but she felt that there was a fog in the clouds, and she felt that the two of them could recognize words, and they were already rare cultural people in this mountain village!
Hearing that the two children were reading with seriousness and earnestness, I felt that the village chief's family had an extraordinary vision and had enlightened a few children to reading early on.

She wondered if she would also find time to send the children at home to read and write.

Not to mention taking the imperial examinations to become a high-ranking official, as long as you know the words and hyphenation, it will be easier to do anything.

She walked into the room curiously and looked at it, suddenly struck by lightning!Looking stiffly at the confident faces of the two fathers and sons, it was like a shovel in the throat for a while. The fuck is that the well is too deep or too shallow, and the water channel changes, and there is no water!

This means that if the well is dug too deep or too shallow, and the underground water channel changes its course, the well will not flow!
Even if you read a typo, read a few words!
When the village chief saw Jiang Yan, he smiled and said, "Aunt Jiang is here, and you are laughing. Fang Zi knows a lot of words, so I will follow him to learn a few words. More, you will definitely be able to take my class in the future!"

The corners of Jiang Yan's mouth twitched, and she was speechless for a while, so she could only laugh a few times: "Fangzi is really amazing!"

Lin Fangzi raised his head and raised his chest in an instant, and his straight back made him straighten up a lot in an instant: "I can also write! Apart from your eldest nephew Lin Wenhan, I am the only one in our village who can read!"

Seeing his confident, arrogant chin, Jiang Yan took a few deep breaths and frantically suppressed her urge to correct and complain!
She turned her head to the village chief and said, "Uncle Lin, this time I came here to give you the fifty copper coins that I owed you before, and I have something important to tell you."

Jiang Yan took out the copper plate that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it over. There was no accident. Fang Zi took it and started to count one by one in front of the two of them. Fifty copper plates.

Jiang Yan is fortunate that at least this silly child can count from one to fifty!

The village chief put down the book in his hand, carefully put it in the drawer, greeted Jiang Yan to sit down, and asked her what else was going on.

"I went up the mountain today, and I found water in the mountain." Jiang Yan recounted the passage carefully.

Seeing the disbelief on the village chief's face, he continued: "I entered the deep mountains before, and I was curious. In this severe drought, why are there mushrooms and wild vegetables in the mountains.

"The amount of water should be very large. If the water from the mountains can be brought down, the village will not worry about the water cut off. If you have the energy, maybe the crops in the fields can be saved."

The village chief's pupils dilated, and he stood up suddenly: "Aunt Jiang! You can't talk nonsense! How could there be water! Also, even if there is water in the mountains! How could it be possible to attract it?"

The ancestors of Linjia Village have lived here for generations, not to mention thousands of years, but there must have been hundreds of years, but no one has ever found water in the mountains...

Jiang Yan didn't say much, but said sincerely: "I didn't find it doesn't mean I didn't, otherwise how would the animals and plants live on the mountain? As for how to get them down, I have to think of a way! Uncle Lin, think about it, if you believe me , I'll take you to the mountain to see!"

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, she and the village elder and his wife changed the bowls for the braised pork and left. On the way, she met Lin Bei Linfeng who was sending the braised pork to the dog's house. After taking the antipyretic medicine, she slept again. The little guy has a lot of energy.

After the family finished their meal, it was already dark. Jiang Yan burned a pile of firewood in the yard, and the family started rubbing green leaves hard to make cold tofu for tomorrow.

It's getting late, Jiang Yan and the whole family are busy preparing the food for tomorrow's stall, and the brothers are chasing after me, and they are very busy.

On the side of the village chief, he was still thinking about what Jiang Yan said. Because of this, he didn't have the heart to eat dinner.

After a while, the gate of the yard was pushed open, a figure came in with an empty bucket, and opened his mouth and shouted: "It's not good! It's not good! Dad! The big thing is bad! The last two wells in the village are also filled with water. No water!"

The person who came was Lin Fangzi's brother, Lin Ziyue, the eldest son of the village chief. Lin Ziyue went to fetch water after dinner. I never thought that the well would stop running!
A total of five wells have been dug in Linjia Village, two of which were stopped earlier, and then one well dried up, leaving the last two wells for the entire village to eat. Unexpectedly, all the wells have no water today. !

When the village elder and his wife and Lin Ziyue's daughter-in-law heard this, they burst into tears.

There is no harvest in the fields, and the big guys can still go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. It’s really not good. After chewing the bark and chewing the grass roots, one can’t starve to death.
Hearing the desperate cries of his wife and eldest daughter-in-law, the village chief sighed and said, "It seems that I can only bet on what Aunt Jiang said! If it is true, there is still hope for Linjia Village!"

"Dad, do you really want to believe that bitch? You can't believe what she said! The hatchet we borrowed from our family last year has not been returned yet!"

Lin Fangzi shook his head again and again, saying that he couldn't trust Jiang Yan, even if Jiang Yan returned the copper plate, he also brought the pig into the water!But that didn't change his deep-rooted impression of Jiang Yan.

Village Chief Lin's face changed, and he said angrily, "You are angry! I just remember these old sesame seeds and rotten millet! I said that the hatchet was given to Dongzi's family."

"That's not because she hasn't paid it back all the time! You can't hold back the old face to ask for it!"

"You stinky brat! If I hadn't seen you know two words, I would have slapped you with crooked teeth! Stop talking about these useless things, and come to Aunt Jiang's house with me tomorrow."

At dawn, the Lin family got up early to wash up and eat breakfast. Jiang Yan took a few brothers to the bullock cart. This time she took Lin Feng with her. After the last incident, she never dared to stay in Lin Feng again. at home.

The sun gradually rose, and Jiang Yan and her five sons finally arrived at the town gate.

"Uncle Gui, we still return to the village around noon, and I hope you will wait for us for a while."

Jiang Yan instructed Lin Gui, mainly because there were only six of their family in the car today. She was afraid that there would be no one else. Lin Gui had gone home early, and she was too lazy to walk back for such a long journey!

It seems that you have to work hard to make money to buy a bullock cart!

Naturally, Lin Gui nodded again and again, the six mothers and sons could earn twelve pennies in a single trip back and forth, which is a big business!
Because there are no extra pots, I only made two pots and one pot of cold tofu last night. The two pots were brought to the town for sale, and the other pot was kept for myself.

Let a few sons set up a stall, and Jiang Yan went to buy the ingredients that she needed. Today, she bought more eggs and minced meat.

She asked Lin Dong to build a small fire pit, bought a larger earthen pot, and cooked a pot of brown rice porridge in it. Many people could not get enough to eat just one piece of rice rolls. The increase also added labor. After thinking about it, Jiang Yan decided to add brown rice porridge.

The first wave of people who ate rice rolls were some big men resting under the big trees. Among them, there were a few familiar faces. They knew that they could get a bowl of white porridge by eating rice rolls today, and everyone came one after another.
