Chapter 60
It is said that this yard was abandoned some time ago.

The original owner's family of five lived here, and they lived and worked in peace and contentment.However, the weather has been severely drought recently, and the fields have no crops. The two men in this family thought about digging a well, and they might be able to dig out water.

But the well was dug for several days, and not even a drop of water was found, so the men planned to give up.

But just as he climbed out of the well and untied the rope from his body, a strong gust of wind came over with wind and sand, and actually blew the older man down.

The young man tried to grab his father, but was also thrown down.

The two men died and the other was disabled, making this family that was already in trouble even worse.

Sitting by the well, the old lady of the family cried and cursed, saying that this place was unlucky, killed her wife, and insisted on taking her family away from the border of Zhegu Mountain.

The village chief brought food to the crowd, and told them about the incident.

The well in the yard was still there, without any cover, and the black well mouth was exposed to the air, like a monster that chose to eat people.

Xiao Ningning looked at the well, and then at Song Qingyou who was munching on a steamed bun. She didn't know what she thought of, but there was a hint of cruelty in her eyes.

Song Qingyou took a mouthful of cold wild vegetables, which were bitter and astringent, making it hard to swallow.

Perhaps her subconscious frown was noticed by the village chief, who rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "There is really nothing that can grow in the ground, and there are no vegetables. These wild vegetables were brought by my old lady to take the women in the village far away." I dug it in a different place, don’t be surprised if I don’t provide good hospitality.”

Hearing this, Song Qingyou took action.

Looking up and seeing the village chief's simple and honest face full of apology, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Wild vegetables may be unpalatable, but they are the best food these villagers can afford.

Maybe they themselves are reluctant to eat these wild vegetables...

Song Qingyou was a little guilty, she tried her best to swallow the wild vegetables, and smiled at the village chief, "The wild vegetables are also delicious, thank you for your hospitality."

Hearing what she said, the village head wrinkled his face with a smile, "That's good, that's good."

"Hmph, you're just pretending to be so good!" Xiao Ningning always liked to discredit Song Qingyou. She also disliked this wild vegetable and vomited after taking one bite. Now when she heard what Song Qingyou said, she felt very contemptuous.

When Song Qingyou looked at Xiao Ningning, the smile disappeared from her eyes, "If you don't like it, just go away and stay away. Don't waste food."

"It's not your turn to control what I do, so you..." Xiao Ningning was about to say bad words again, but before she could say anything, she was frightened by Xiao Qishu's cold eyes.

Xiao Ningning's face turned pale, and she reluctantly shut up.

The village chief asked them to get some more bedding for them.

Although he had long known that these people were exiled prisoners, he did not show any contempt for them, and was even grateful for their arrival.

Alas, God is not fair, even such a simple and simple common people will send natural disasters, I don't know who is punishing...

Song Qingyou sighed in his heart, and slowly fell asleep.

Xiao Qishu lay next to Song Qingyou, listening to the steady breathing coming from all around, his eyes flashed slightly in the darkness, and he quietly got up and left the room.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xiao Qishu came back and lay back down in his position gently.

No one knew he had left, even the guards outside were sound asleep.

The next morning.

Song Qingyou was awakened by the howling wind outside.

The wind was really loud, like some unknown and terrifying creature roaring, which made people feel panicked.

After getting up, I went out to check, and what I saw was a dull yellow color.

Both the ground and the sky are earthy yellow, and the yellow sand all over the sky is blown up by the wind, making it hard to keep your eyes open.

Before coming here, I heard that the weather here in Partridge Mountain was bad, but I didn't expect it to be so bad.

With this level of wind and sand, how are they going to dig ditches?

Isn't this embarrassing!
It is also a drought, and it is strange that crops can grow out of wind and sand.

The village chief came over against the wind and sand to take everyone to the mountain where the canal was dug.

Partridge Mountain is connected by three mountains, the middle is the tallest, and the two sides are slightly lower, one on the left and one on the right, as if supporting the mountain in the middle.

The canal was excavated from the mountain in the middle.

The mountain on the left is relatively dense with vegetation. The village chief said that someone from the court told them to dig to the left, and finally extend down from the ditch where the two mountains meet to the edge of the field.

Seeing Partridge Mountain, Song Qingyou subconsciously thought of the detector.

If she had a detector, she could know where the water and treasures were.

But she can't afford to change...

The village chief gave each man a shovel, and the women helped pick up the excavated soil and rocks and helped transport them down the mountain.

The villagers were already digging on the mountain, and when they saw someone coming to help, they all greeted them warmly.

The officials sat for a while and then got up to help.

Among a large group of people, only Tang Yulian, mother and son, and Lin Shuang were slacking off.

Mrs. Xiao was getting older, and the official was afraid that she would be tired, so she told her old bones directly and gave her permission not to work.

But the old man didn't want to see his children and grandchildren suffer, so he did some odd jobs within his power.

Only Tang Yulian, Xiao Ningning, Xiao Yiran, and Lin Shuang, the four of them, have been slacking off from working.

He digs without exerting force, picks up stones slowly, and pretends not to see big stones when he sees them. Even the village chief can't help but shake his head after seeing such behavior.

"You guys, work hard for me!" The bearded man couldn't stand it anymore, and swore angrily, waving his whip.

Tang Yulian and the others shrank, and hastened to speed up the movements in their hands.

Xiao Yiran's palm had already been blistered by the wooden handle of the shovel, he frowned and looked at it, and seeing Song Qingyou handing a water bag to Xiao Qishu not far away, his heart became more and more irritable.

Song Qingyou's water was taken from the space, so he could drink it without any scruples.But she also knew the principle of not revealing her wealth, so she only filled one water bag and didn't refill it afterwards.

The others were also a little greedy, but seeing the water bag getting more and more deflated, they gradually calmed down.

Song Qingyou looked at the non-stop woman beside her. During the conversation just now, she heard that she was the wife of the village head, and she was as simple and honest as the village head.

"Ma'am, the imperial court asked you to dig a canal, but no one was sent here? Let the people in your village dig it themselves?"

Song Qingyou thought about it for a moment and pretended to be chatting.

The village chief's wife was stunned for a moment, then threw the stone in her hand into the bamboo basket, "Dig ditches? The court didn't let us dig ditches? They just said we were digging mountains."

"Dig the mountains?" Song Qingyou paused and repeated in doubt.

Then why did the postman say that he was digging a canal when he delivered the decree?However, judging by the digging posture of the villagers, it really doesn't seem like they are going to build a canal.

They seem to be digging according to the route specified by others, regardless of whether they can get water or not.

"Then the court asked you to dig the mountains for what purpose?" Song Qingyou asked again.

The aunt tried to think back, "It seems that I didn't say it, it should be drinking water."
