Chapter 295
The next day, Cheng Huai went to the mountains to collect good firewood, and then did all the heavy work at home.
Going out to walk darts at night.
Jiang Miao checked the bag several times, and stuffed some pork jerky and pancake candies into it.
Facing his wife's worried gaze, Cheng Huai raised his hand and touched her head, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow, don't worry."
"Be careful on the way and don't go hungry." She stuffed the money she had prepared into his clothes.
You may not be able to use it, but when you can use it, it is very useful.
Pressing the clothes on his chest, Cheng Huai felt at ease and warm, "Okay."
Jiang Miao didn't say anything more, stopped after sending him outside the courtyard, and waved at him.
Fortunately, with Uncle Li and Li Dahu together, she felt more at ease.
On the second morning after Cheng Huai left, Yu Ying went to the river to fetch water and found that there was no water. Before, she could use a bucket to scoop, but now she can only use a scoop.
"What, what should I do, the water is gone!" Everyone in the village panicked.
Although there was drought in the past, the water was gradually decreasing, and no obvious changes could be seen, but now it is decreasing by a large amount every day.
If this continues, the water will be completely dry in two days.
"Village chief, what should we do?"
Someone called the village chief.
Wang Caifu looked at the water in the river, and his eyelids twitched, "From now on, each family will carry a load of water every three days, so we can't use it too much."
"What's the use of using less, isn't it gone?" Some people began to be unconvinced.
"Yeah, instead of waiting for the water to run out, it's better to water my vegetable field now!"
"Put it in my tank and it will survive for a few more days."
Everyone said, they rushed down the embankment to grab water.
Yu Ying was knocked staggering. Seeing the dark wave of people going down, she couldn't care less about carrying water.
She hurried back and closed the door.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Jiang Miao walked up and asked.
Yu Ying patted his chest, "Crazy, they are all crazy."
"Girl Miao, don't go out these few days, there are people grabbing water everywhere."
"Is there no water in the river?" Jiang Miao's heart sank. Some things are not afraid of not coming, but they are afraid of coming suddenly.
This month the village has been suffering, and now all hope is finally exhausted.
"There aren't many left. I guess there will be none today." Yu Ying waved his hand, "Cheng Huai will be back in the evening, so let's not open the door."
There is no one in the family, no matter how crazy she is on weekdays, she can't be crazy like everyone in the village.
Jiang Miao helped to fasten the door. She didn't hear any other noise outside, so she went to work behind the scenes without any worries.
The whole day, Dabao and Xiaobao were locked up and not allowed out.
There are only two wells in the village, plus their family, there are three wells in total.
The three wells are all at the foot of the mountain, so they can still store some water.
But now, the three of them might become the targets of the village.
Until the afternoon, no one came to the door. Both Yu Ying and Jiang Miao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that nothing would happen today.
As a result, just as they were about to get water for the two babies to wash, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Sister Yu Ying, do you have water in your well? I'm asking you to borrow some water."
Yu Ying sullenly, clutching the stick, stood guard at the door without saying a word.
"Sister, I'll borrow a bowl of water for cooking at home, please open the door."
"Yes, they are all from the village, so they are not so stingy, right?"
"At this time, is it possible that you still want to dominate the well at home alone? It's too selfish."
Seeing that there was no sound from inside the house, the door panel was pushed from the outside.
"Yu Ying, we came in by ourselves. I'll just lend you some water."
"Mother." Jiang Miao looked at Yu Ying, and also went to find a stick.
Yu Ying waved her hand and signaled her not to come, "You take Dabao and Xiaobao back to the house, and the mother outside will just watch over."
Then he yelled outside: "Which bastard said that there is water in my house? I don't sleep at night and come to make a noise. Is it because I want to fight!"
"The Xiao family said they only dug a well for your family last year." Someone quickly answered.
"What is the Xiao family? They are barking outside like dogs. Tomorrow I will ask my son to lift the roof of his house!"
Ever since Xiao Zichang was captured and exiled by the government, the Cheng family and the Xiao family had feuded, and everyone in the village knew about it.
Yu Ying didn't care and scolded directly.
At such a time, if her family is confessed, the Xiao family can be so sloppy.
Hearing that Yu Ying moved out of Cheng Huai, there was silence outside for a while.
"Sister Yu Ying, I saw your son leave the night before, so he went to take the darts, did he last ten days?"
"I said Yu Ying, just open the door and let us borrow some water, why are you like this?"
Yu Ying sullenly said, "Joke, why do I open the door if there is no water in my house? I ask you to borrow some money, do you want to borrow it?"
"With such a big face, are you waiting to be slapped by my mother?"
"My son will be back in a while. If you have the ability, stay outside the door and see how he beats you to death."
"Anyway, my son has killed many people, not bad for you."
The sound outside disappeared, but Yu Ying could still hear slight movements occasionally.
These people didn't leave at all, probably because they wanted to see if Cheng Huai would really come back.
The gate is fairly solid, as long as they don't mess around, it should be fine to hold it up.
Yu Ying led Jiang Miao back to the house, "You take the baby to bed first, so mother can keep it safe."
Jiang Miao led Dabao and Xiaobao to wash up, and soon coaxed them to bed, and sat on the edge of the bed to listen to the movement outside.
"Mother, what's the matter?" Dabao hugged Jiang Miao's arm with some anxiety.
Jiang Miao raised her hand and touched their heads, "It's okay, mother and grandma are beating bad people."
"Mom, I want to beat up bad guys too." Xiaobao clenched his fists, his round face sullen, looking a little fierce.
"Okay, then let's take turns. After grandma finishes beating, I'll let you go."
Jiang Miao patted their buttocks, "Go to sleep first, I will call you to get up and beat the bad guys later."
"Uh-huh."
The two kids originally wanted to persist, but fell asleep all of a sudden.
Jiang Miao bent her eyes and raised her hand to gently touch their faces.
Until late at night, no sign of Cheng Huai was seen, and people outside began to make moves again.
They grabbed the big lock on the door and knocked, saying in a violent tone, "Yu Ying, open the door!"
"I can't believe your house is always closed."
Jiang Miao woke up with a start and grabbed the stick beside her.
Yu Ying yelled at the outside directly: "A bunch of shameless people, if you keep arguing, I'll let the dogs bite you."
None of them could compare to Yu Ying in terms of talking skills, so they started grabbing things and stuffing them into the cracks in the door, trying to push the door bolt open.
Yu Ying went back all the way, Jiang Miao came out, took a stick and went out to knock the hands outside.
The people outside scolded, Jiang Miao said in a cold voice: "If you have the ability to speak again, I will write down which one. When my husband comes back, none of you will be able to escape."
"Come to my house to make trouble at night because of a sip of water. Do you really think we don't know if there is a real lack of water or is it deliberately looking for trouble?"
