"Thanks. Wait, I'll pour it into the tank."

"No, we'll come back tomorrow to get the bucket. Your tank hasn't been cleaned yet."

After saying that, the two men turned around and left. Shitou sighed softly. The men in this village were all honest and simple, and none of them were cunning.

This made Qin Yue feel a little relieved. Unlike before, that group of ungrateful people had corrected themselves after being punished by her.

Man is inherently good, and she hopes that good people will be rewarded.

Her thoughts immediately made the sky outside gradually darken, and the darkness became heavier and heavier.

At this time, it was already dark and the villagers had picked everything they needed to pick. They were all at home, boiling water to drink.

No one noticed that the sky was dark and the stars and the moon had hidden themselves.

Shitou prepared dinner, a small bowl of dumpling soup, a few vegetable pancakes, and two side dishes.

Qin Yue glanced at the window without window paper, and the stone was also swept over.

"I will cover it with cloth in a moment."

"Just nail it up with cloth first and take it down tomorrow morning. How can we escape from famine like this?"

"Yes, wait a little longer and go to town to buy some window paper."

Qin Yue smiled. A gust of wind blew in from the window, making her feel something strange. So she quickly finished her meal, walked out of the house, and looked up at the sky.

"It's cloudy now. It looks like it's going to snow. I don't know if it will snow or not."

"It would be the best if it can rain. If it can't, we can dig out water to alleviate the disaster."

"We have to go down, otherwise we will be exhausted. How many wells will we have to dig? As long as the clouds come, I have to let them stay."

She looked up at the sky again, and then said, "We are still gathering. It's not the right time yet. Wait a little longer."

After finishing his meal, Shitou quickly cleaned up and washed the dishes, then nailed the window with several layers of coarse cloth, added some charcoal to the charcoal basin, and then walked to the door and stood shoulder to shoulder with Qin Yue, looking up at the sky at the same time.

"Wife, what if it were to fall apart?"

"No, if it dares to disperse, I will gather. This time it has to happen."

"Hehe, I think my wife is the most suitable person to be God."

Qin Yue didn't take it seriously after hearing this. Xiao Lan in the space curled her lips and said, "Little fool, as long as you want, God will act according to your ideas, alas."

At this moment, a cool feeling fell on the faces of the two people. Unexpectedly, it started snowing from the sky. Although it was only sporadic, it was finally snowing.

At this time, all the villagers got into bed and heated up the kang. It was warm inside the quilt, which was much more comfortable than being outside the quilt.

It's been almost a year now. It's not easy. Even the wood for the firewood is almost burned out.

Qin Yue and Shitou stood at the door until the late night. When they saw the snow was getting heavier, they went back to the house to sleep.

The next day, they woke up to the cheers outside. After finding out the reason, she curled her lips.

"If you don't want to remember, go and have a look."

"it is good!"

Shitou put on his clothes, lit the charcoal brazier in the house, went out to close the door, and went to the kitchen to light the fire and heat the kang. Then he walked out of the yard. Everyone heard the creaking sound of the broken door and immediately turned to look at him.

They all believed that it was this couple that brought them good luck.

Otherwise, why did it snow right after we dug the water source? The snow hasn't stopped yet, and it is falling like goose feathers.

Stone shouted, "Don't be lazy. Sweep the floor as you go. The house won't collapse. Otherwise, in such a cold day, if you don't have a place to live, you will freeze to death or starve to death."

"Hey, hey, I'll go right away."

Thinking about the house collapsing and the adults and children having nowhere to go, they hurried home and started clearing the snow off the house with their tools.

The village chief walked towards him and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"No, I just woke up."

"Yes, you two were exhausted from digging the well yesterday. Do you have anything to eat?"

"Yes, I haven't finished eating what you gave me yesterday. I plan to go to the town or the county seat later. I still have some money, so I want to buy some food."

"It's difficult. Even if there is one, it's ridiculously expensive. We poor people can't afford it."

"It's okay. I have some things passed down from my ancestors. I'll pawn them at the pawnshop. Even if the price is high, I'll have to buy some. Otherwise, if you wait for spring to come and then plant the fields and wait for the food to come in, people will starve to death." "The weather will soon get warmer. As long as there is water, wild vegetables will soon be available. We won't starve to death if we eat wild vegetables then."

At this time, Qin Yue opened her eyes on the kang. She heard what Shi Tou said. It was a good idea to use jewelry to buy food. She could buy more food and distribute it to the villagers.

It can't be more. Twenty kilograms of grain per family. This village is not big, there are twelve or thirteen families. More than two hundred kilograms of grain, from their perspective, they still have the ability to do so. After all, they are buying it as a commodity.

Thinking of this, she couldn't sleep well. She looked at the warehouse in the space and found that there was still a lot of cornmeal. So she got up, dressed, cast a cleansing spell on herself, then tied on a cotton cloak and walked out.

The village chief saw Qin Yue, smiled and nodded at her, and asked.

"How are you going?"

“Do you have cows in your village?”

"No."

"With so much land, how can we survive without cattle?"

"It's just one season of food, and the soil is all together. In our village, men, women, old and young work together, and it's not slow."

"Okay, then let's go to the town or the county seat."

"Should we send a few people to follow you?"

Shitou looked at Qin Yue. He thought it would be okay to follow others and let them see the things. That would make it more real, right?
Qin Yue nodded at this time: "Okay, then send a few strong people, and then we can carry the food back separately."

"Okay, then I'll go call them."

"Prepare a few large cloth bags."

"it is good."

Qin Yue tied his cloak on him, and then the two of them checked inside and outside the house, locked the door, and came to the village entrance.

Soon, six stronger villagers came up to them.

"The village chief asked us to follow you."

"Well, let's go."

They all had ropes around their waists, a sack tied behind their waists, and a pair of worn cotton shoes with patches on them.

Shi Tou and Qin Yue walked in front, and they followed behind the two of them, walking towards the official road at a leisurely pace.

"Wife, where are you going?"

"The drought in the south and north is even worse. There is no food. They are almost unable to bear the consequences. This snow has alleviated the disaster, but it is not enough. If we want it to rain, it is impossible to irrigate the fields with water from the well."

"This snow is quite big and it's still falling now. It should be almost over."

"Even if it melts, it will soon seep into the ground. Besides, when it snows, they have to collect the snow for drinking. Only this village has well water now."

“There’s a long way to go.”

The men behind were all talking in low voices, and it didn't feel like the time was long as they walked like this.

It took about an hour to walk to the small town in the south, which is twenty miles, which is not slow.

It was almost noon, but the town was deserted. All the shops were closed, even the clinic.

They had no choice but to set off for the county town. Coincidentally, an ox cart came from behind. Qin Yue took a look at it and thought it was too slow. It would be better to just walk, without even a hum.

The coachman didn't ask, knowing that every family was in dire straits at that time and every penny had to be spent carefully, so how could they afford to take a ride?

He walked right past them, but as he passed the stone, he couldn't help but look over his shoulder.

These two people were dressed normally, but they had no patches on their bodies. People like this were quite rare here.

But he just looked at it and immediately turned back.

Shitou curled his lips and said, "His cows are so skinny, but he still orders them around. It seems he has a hard heart."

"I don't care much about whether the animals are alive or dead compared to my own life."

"Ugh!"

They kept walking southwards, and there was already a thick layer of snow on both sides of the official road. (End of this chapter)
