After picking up the cubs, I became the ancestor of Sichuan Mountain

Chapter 26 Losing water
The floodwaters at the foot of the mountain have begun to recede, revealing the mountain that has been soaked for half a year.

After sleeping this time, Li Churro felt that he was much more energetic.

"Are you OK?"

Lu Haoming saw Li Congee coming out with curiosity on his face.

How did this person manage to sleep for seven or eight days?
"I am fine."

Li Churro shook his head and looked into Lu Haoming's clear and bright eyes.

The young man grinned, showing his big white teeth.

"You're so awesome, you can sleep for seven or eight days!"

When Mrs. Lu Lin heard her son say this, she couldn't hold back and slapped him on the back of the head.

"You are scared! If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will deal with you!"

Lu Haoming held the back of his head and grinned, screaming in pain. Li Congee beside him had a smile on his face, but in his heart he was thinking about the two dolls in Zhuangzi.

The water level is dropping every day, and everyone is very happy.

As soon as the water recedes, they can go home again.

"I don't think so. The water has been soaking for half a year. Who knows what the village is like now."

Granny Liu said it implicitly.

The majority of houses in the village are thatched houses, and the better ones are houses made of stone and bricks. There are very few formal brick and tile courtyards.

After being in the water for more than half a year, who knows if it has turned into a puddle of mud.

Not to mention the grain stored in the house was either completely soaked or washed away by the water and could not find a place to take root and sprout.

After the excitement passed, everyone came back to their senses.

Yes.

Not only did they lose their homes, they were abandoned.

"If you ask me, it would actually be nice if we lived together."

Although Old Xu is a blind old man, he is very agile and can weave baskets and other things better than anyone else.

The longer people live, the more they can see clearly.

Didn't his son and daughter-in-law leave him behind just because they thought he was old and would be a drag?
Rather than going back, it would be better for everyone to live here together.

"You said that."

Mrs. Liu stretched out her foot and kicked him lightly.

They are currently being supported by the Lu family. They saved them out of kindness. If the flood subsides, why would they still support them?

They are a burden.

Lao Xu closed his mouth and moved his hands quickly without being affected at all.

After a delicate and delicate basket was woven, Old Xu Tou sighed and groped his way back to the house from the yard.

How could he not understand what Mrs. Liu said?
I am now in my 60s and have only a few more years to live.

When his son abandoned him, even if they were still alive, he would not want to see them again.

But Mrs. Liu is right. People like them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are a drag.

When the flood subsides, this family of three still has their own lives to live, and we cannot continue to suffer on this mountain because of them.

In fact, Lu Lin didn't think about what to do in the future.

Save people because they have nowhere to go, and if you don't save them, they will die.

But if the flood recedes, what will happen next?
The yard became quiet for a moment.

Li Congee looked at the exquisite and small basket on the ground and had an idea.

Old man Xu can weave baskets and dustpans, and Po Liu can embroider by hand.

Everyone else also has some skills.

Even if they don't want to go home after the floods subside, they can still support themselves.

It's definitely not enough to rely on one person. If they don't want to go back, they can live together and then rely on their own skills to sell some gadgets.

I told Mrs. Liu what I thought, and the latter was very happy.

Yes.

Why didn't she think of coming here?

Lao Xutou cannot see, so he cannot live alone, but they have good eyes and can see.When the flood recedes, they can go down the mountain and build a small yard at the foot of the mountain to grow vegetables to support themselves.

During the gathering, they would put the knickknacks they embroidered on weekdays in small baskets and sell them in the town.

Not to mention rich and powerful, but at least he will not die of hunger.

And you don’t have to rely on the Lu family to make a living.

They can live on their own.

Wang Jinlan huddled on the bed with her child in her arms, unable to tell what she was thinking.

Seeing her in a daze, Mrs. Lu Lin could only sigh and enlighten her.

"Jinlan, now that the children have been born, the floods at the bottom of the mountain have receded, and we have passed the most difficult time. What are you doing now?"

She knew that Wang Jinlan would cry secretly at night.

"Aunt Lu, the child's father left me behind, what will I do in the future?"

Wang Jinlan said with a cry.

The child in his arms was thin and small, sleeping soundly. When he heard his mother-in-law's cry, he opened his eyes in confusion.

"What's the point of crying? He left you because he had no conscience. Now you are in confinement. If your eyes hurt from crying, what will you and your child do in the future?"

Mrs. Lu Lin took the child from her arms and whispered advice.

"If you don't want to live with him, just break up with him and take your children to live with your aunt.

It was your father who saved me in the first place, and it is the right thing for me to take care of you in the future. "

When he was 16 years old, there was an uproar in the village because of the incident where Lu Dahai's second brother broke into his house in the middle of the night.

Although Lu Dahai had separated, the gossip in the village was like needles poking straight into her lungs.

One time she couldn't think about it anymore and wanted to hang herself while Lu Dahai went to town to sell game.

As a result, Wang Changfu happened to meet him and was rescued.

After Lu Dahai found out, he specially brought two hares over to thank them.

If Wang Changfu hadn't been there at that time, how would he be where he is now?
Wang Jinlan's eyes were filled with tears. Hearing Lu Lin's words, he was stunned for a moment and then shook his head.

"No, I can't just let him go."

She knew that what she had done over the past six months was not well received by others.

She was also afraid that she would be left behind.

She has no abilities, and she still has a baby in her belly. If she is left behind again, she will only die in this famine.

That's why she keeps doing this.

But now with Lu Lin's words, she suddenly thought clearly.

She couldn't just let that man go.

She must let him get his comeuppance.

Li Congee was braiding Nuo Nuo's hair in the yard, while listening to Granny Liu and the others chatting.

"When the water fades, do you think it was caused by the immortals in heaven?

Otherwise, it has been half a year, why did it suddenly stop? "

The speaker was Mrs. Qiu, who is 66 years old this year.

She was washed up to the mountain by the flood and carried back by Lu Dahai.

Nuo Nuo, who was sitting next to her, quietly turned her head when she heard her words and propped up her ears to eavesdrop.

"If it were them, this flood would have receded half a year ago."

Mrs. Liu curled her lips and snorted.

"Thanks to them for eating our offerings, why don't you see them coming if something happens?"

"You can't say that. If the immortal knew about it, he would be angry."

Mrs. Qiu said with a fierce face.

Nuo Nuo looked up at Li Congee, a little curious.

She hasn't asked yet why Sister Congee is here.
