Don't panic when fleeing famine, the farm system is busy raising cubs to get rich

Chapter 63

After yelling, while everyone in Shanbei Zhuangzi was waiting expectantly, the other side responded, but instead of yelling, they sent five people to come here.

"They're coming!" Li Zheng was a little nervous, afraid that the people coming from the opposite side would not speak well, but instead would fight with them, or would not allow them to enter the village, or give them water to drink.

Xia Qiyue looked at the five people walking across the road. They were strong and strong, and they didn't look like they had eaten enough. She knew that this place already belonged to the northern region. Although it was also dry, it was just the beginning. People with food reserves It hasn't been affected yet, and they're not short of water.

Thinking about how to deal with it for a while, the six boys led by An Zihao were already standing vigilantly around the children.

The distance was not very far, and the five people on the opposite side walked quickly, and they arrived not far away in a short while, and looked at Li Zheng, the patriarch, Xia Qiyue and others in front of the team.

"Several folks, we are from Anyang Mansion..."

Li Zheng took the initiative to introduce himself, but was interrupted by a person who seemed to be in charge, he waved his hand:
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense! You are going to go to our village to beg, right?"

The words are impolite enough, Sang Xin is rough, tall and full of beards, especially bluffing.

Li Zheng coughed in embarrassment, "This... yes, our generation was short of water, and we were going to escape to Fucheng, but we went in the wrong direction..."

The bearded man waved his hand again, "I know! There are already several groups of people here before you, all of whom are similar to you, and they all say the same thing, but there are fewer people! There are quite a lot of people in your group, but I don't know Will he be as treacherous and cunning as those people in front of him!"

After speaking, the five people looked at each other, and the bearded man spoke, amidst the suspicious expressions of Lizheng, he said, "It's not that we don't have sympathy, it's that you victims are too treacherous and cunning, and you have done all kinds of bad things! You want to drink water It’s not impossible, but you have to spend money to buy it! If you don’t have money, you can’t give it to you! Also! You are not allowed to enter the village, you can only wait outside the village!”

After hearing that there was a charge for drinking water, the people in Shanbei Zhuangzi surprisingly didn't have any opinion, because there was a county magistrate selling water in front of them, which had given them a lot of confidence.

So Li Zheng quickly said, "Brother, how do you sell this water? Can you sell us some quickly, we old people and children can't bear it anymore!"

The bearded man looked up, down, left, and right for a while, counted the number of people, and stretched out five fingers, "Five copper coins per person! I'll drink until you're full!"

After finishing speaking, he started to observe their reactions. After careful observation, Li Zheng didn't notice it at all. He felt that five copper coins per person was too cheap. After all, there was an example of twenty copper coins for five liters of water earlier.

But the careful Xia Qiyue found out, and the man across the way dodged his eyes.

She guessed it wasn't the first time they sold water, but this time the price was the highest.

Just as Li Zheng was about to agree, Xia Qiyue spoke up first, "Brother, can we also fill up our water bladders? I don't know how far it will go. I can't stand without water!"

The bearded man thought that the little girl in front of him was going to negotiate a price with him, but he didn't want to deal with such a small issue, so he waved his hand, indicating that he could pretend as he wanted.

At this moment, everyone was satisfied, quickly picked up their luggage, and followed the five of them to move forward.

But when they were 100 meters away from the entrance of the village, people stopped and refused to let them go, saying that they would bring water out, and several people had already started asking for money per head.

Originally, Mrs. An wanted Xia Qiyue to give this money. Who made her have so much money? There are still twelve people left in their family, which is not a small amount of money.

But just as she was about to make a fuss, Old Man An stopped her and asked her to give the money with a glare.

On An Zihao's side, there was neither silver nor water bag, so he stood there in embarrassment for a while.

Because people ask for money according to the head, regardless of adults and children, the price is the same, but there is no limit to how much water they can can.

Xia Qiyue took out 35 copper coins and handed them over, including the ones with An Zihao and An Qingling.

"Sister-in-law Si...I will return the money to you." Seeing this, An Zihao didn't even have the courage to say no.

"I believe in you!" Xia Qiyue smiled, not paying attention to the ten copper coins.

After the money was collected here, not long after, the men guarding the village left halfway and returned with several carts pushing the barrels.

The bearded man confessed, "Water can be drunk as you like, but don't waste it!"

The villagers hadn't seen so much water for a long time. Everyone surrounded the bucket and drank it. After drinking a few sips, they began to fill their water bladders and buckets anxiously, fearing that it would run out if it was too late.

The opposite village is called Xiaomaizi Village, with a large population and an amazing labor force. You can tell from the people who guard the village. There are fifty or sixty strong laborers guarding the village, all of whom are young men in their twenties.

After Xia Qiyue snatched the water ladle, she gave the children water first, and An Qingling started gurgling involuntarily as soon as her mouth touched the water.

There was a satisfied smile on the small face, the eyes were not opened, but the expression on the face was much more comfortable.

Xuan'er and Ke'er were also very thirsty, but they didn't drink water so fast, they felt that the water was not as good as the water their mother gave them.

But I also drank a lot, just to quench my thirst, I don't care if it's good or not.

Xia Qiyue took out all the water bladders in the space, gave An Zihao two, and filled the remaining four with water.

His own and two small water bladders were also filled, and Xia Jiuyue and his siblings had already gone to drink water by themselves.

In the end, everyone in Shanbei Zhuangzi drank enough water to drink up their chapped lips after so many days of thirst, and then filled everything in the house that could hold water, and that was the end of the job.

When the people of Xiaomaizi Village were about to take the barrel away, the remaining water in it was snatched and drank clean.

The energy to drink water here is over, but the people guarding the village have no intention of leaving at all. They are all guarding energetically, afraid that if they don't pay attention to these refugees, they will run in.

Xia Qiyue looked at An Qingling who had been running a fever. She had already applied a wet handkerchief to her forehead, wiped her body, massaged her palms and soles, and did everything she could think of to reduce the temperature physically.

I also rubbed off the mud with one hand, but there was no sign of goodness at all. If it is going to be dark today, there is no doubt that I will sleep here tonight.

"Old Wu, look at the children, I'll go and ask if there is a barefoot doctor in this village, please come and show Linger!"

An Zihao was also worried, how could he let his sister-in-law, a woman, do these things, so he quickly shook his head, "I'll go!"

Then he walked towards the bearded man, but came back not long after, with his head down, "The bearded man said that there is a doctor in the village, but he has to pay the money first, otherwise he won't come out to treat illnesses."

Xia Qiyue knew that An Zihao couldn't afford the money right now, but if she didn't help, a life might be burned to death.
