Chapter 263.
After returning home, Lin Chaodong told Liu Shi, who was making breakfast, about his discovery, then told the two younger brothers in the house who hadn't woken up yet, and finally told Yue Jiuyue during dinner.

Yue Jiuyue: (`Δ)!
Isn't this revealing!
It seems that the cement pipes have to be taken out for a while, and the water should almost stop.

Just don't know when this drought will end.

The original owner and the others went all the way to the north, because they left in early June, so they did not encounter locust plagues. Until early winter, there was no rain or snow on this day. Instead, the original owner took her own small The order was given.

well!Worry!

If the water doesn't stop, if someone who is very curious picks up the soil by the well and finds the cement pipe, what will she do then?
But if the cement pipes are collected, the villagers will have no water to drink, what will happen then?
I can't, let's have a late escape, right?
Isn't the reason why she willingly provided the villagers with water for almost a year to avoid going on the road of fleeing the wilderness?

She did this not only in order not to follow the old path of the original owner, that is, to be pierced between the eyebrows by a sharp arrow and die.

The most important thing, of course, is that she just doesn't want to escape from famine. After all, there is a word for "escape" and another word for "famine". How difficult this journey is, it is definitely much more difficult than the original owner remembered!
Anyway, she just didn't want to run away!

"No one knows what's going on?"

Yue Jiuyue couldn't help but inquire.

"Well, they guessed that there might be a spring next to the ancient well. But let me think about it, what kind of drought has become of this day, how could there be a spring, and where is the spring leaking and still stuck? ? There must be something else weird!"

Lin Chaodong talked eloquently, and felt that it was much more reliable than those people's guesses.

But no matter whether it is the guess of "there is a spring" or the guess of "there is a weirdness", it is not what Yue Jiuyue wants to see.

She hoped that those people would still be the same as before, knowing that there was something weird, but in order to continue to have water to drink, they would not explore the truth.

However, when they feel that they have discovered part of the truth and are only half a step away from the real truth, will they all really be able to bear it?

But one is that the locust plague is coming, and the other is that Liu's mother and daughter are still living in her house, even if Yue Jiuyue wants to do something, it is too late.

All she could really do was pray.

For a meal, Yue Jiuyue didn't know what to eat.

"Mom, look quickly, is there a cloud coming? Is it going to rain?"

Mrs. Liu, who was washing dishes at the door of the main room, pointed at the original owner's dark sky, and asked Yue Jiuyue with surprise.

That piece of "dark cloud" really covered the sky and covered the sun, it was a big black area, and it was moving towards their Linjiagou Village quickly.

"No! Those are locusts! Come in quickly!"

She dragged Mrs. Liu, who was washing dishes at the door, into the room, and slipped Xiao Man'er, who was still picking up locusts, into the room. Yue Jiuyue still yelled loudly:

"Boss! Third! Fourth! Hurry back to the house!"

The three brothers didn't find a large number of locusts, but a lot of them had already flown into the house. They wanted to take advantage of this time to kill as many locusts as possible. They either took a shovel to shoot the grasshoppers, or took a broom to slap the grasshoppers. Grasshoppers, and another responsible for sweeping the dead grasshoppers into the pit where the sweet melon seeds were buried, and setting fire to the grasshoppers.

Smelling the aroma of roasted grasshoppers, everyone felt a pity.
