Chapter 622
Ouyang Xi was afraid that she would not be able to stand, so she relied on Yun Shu to support her, and Yun Shu also gave her strength behind her back, not letting her escape, but also allowing her to stand firm.

"It's not like that," she would have gladly accepted such a compliment before, but now, she couldn't bear it. "Luo Qing, let me go, I don't want you to regret it later,"

"No, I know what I want to do," Luo Qing shook his head and looked at her, desperately trying to express his thoughts, but Ouyang Xi didn't believe it at all, "Xi'er, don't worry about your heirs, if it wasn't for you , I have died long ago, no one in the Luo family dares to blame you, they will only be grateful to you, including my parents, "

"Things are not as simple as you think. You say that now because no one is forcing you, and you won't think so in the future," Ouyang Xi still insisted calmly, without seeming to be moved at all.

Seeing her like this, Yun Shu secretly shook his head at Luo Qing. If he pushed her further, it would only be counterproductive.

Luo Qing was stunned for a moment, and he didn't emphasize anything, but calmly said: "Then let's see people's hearts as time goes by!"

The atmosphere was a bit dignified, Yun Shu sighed quietly in his heart, then looked up at Rao Mingxu and said, "Can I leave the mountain to one of them?"

"If you're worried, go up and have a look." Knowing that she was looking for a topic to ease the awkward atmosphere, he naturally cooperated.

"Okay, Xi'er, let's go up and have a look," Yun Shu held her arm, not letting her leave.

Ouyang Xi was forced to follow Yun Shu up the mountain. When she walked past Luo Qing, her eyes were even more restrained and she refused to reveal any emotion, which made Luo Qing's heart tighten a little more.

I made an agreement with the village chief yesterday, so when Yun Shu came up, he saw more than 20 people digging in one direction, which was very lively, but the tools were unbearable.

"The mud on the mountain is damp, and this wooden hoe can still be used," Rao Mingxu immediately explained tacitly when he found that there was an indescribable emotion surrounding Yun Shu.

Yun Shu looked up at him, and felt that he was like a roundworm in her stomach, who even knew what she was thinking.

"It will take time if it can be used. Let the hoe that has been modified by someone first take it here for a trial. If someone uses it, all the tools will have to be modified,"

"Um,"

The meal at noon is delivered to the mountain. If a group of people come down, it is better to send it up.Yun Shu asked people to divide the food evenly, and if there was a little more, he was free to do so, and he didn't take care of it specially.

According to the report when he came back, those people really hid their food. Some of them ate steamed buns while drinking vegetable soup. They didn’t even eat the meat inside. They took it back to the family, and everyone did that without saying anything. They tacitly ignored each other's behavior.

"As long as they're not lazy, it's up to them." She didn't set a limit on how much people should eat, but thought that the amount allocated was enough for them to eat.

Because we ate well at noon and there was some leftovers, everyone worked harder so as not to lose their work. Not to mention, everyone dug with great confidence, but followed the traces of the original stream and dug. After searching for a day, I found nothing and had to end the day's labor.

Originally, she didn't expect to solve the matter within a day, but Yun Shu didn't care.

The women who helped during the day all left, leaving behind the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yang family. Yun Shu asked them to simply cook some food and then asked them to take something home, instead of letting them stay here to eat with them.

Rao Mingxu was very happy that someone came to help with cooking and laundry. In this way, Yun Shu would not be tired, so he would not object.

"Ah Xu, there won't be any news about what happened here right away. You should go to Zeyang County to find out where your father is?" Yun Shu reminded him, fearing that he would delay things.

"I have a sense of proportion," there is seafood stew here, if my father is in Zeyang County, he will definitely appear.

"Don't be careless,"

"Don't worry," there would be too many strangers popping up in Zeyang County all of a sudden, so he planned to take a look a few days later.

Yangjia Village is very lively these days, but Yun Shu is under a lot of pressure. The main reason is that several drooling children have been staring at the stove in the yard, making her ignore it even if she wants to.It would be better if there were a few of them. She knew that as soon as she promised, the children and even some adults in the whole village would follow her.

Looking at those children in the yard will only make her unable to persevere, so now she goes up the mountain every morning, and without meeting the expectant eyes of the children, she tells herself that the situation will be relieved soon... Soon they will not starve and will see a ray of hope.

However, after working for a few days, the mountain was almost dug, but still no water source was found. This made everyone anxious, especially the people in Yangjia Village. This Yun Shu was the one who paid, but they wanted to see water more than Yun Shu. , With water, they have the hope of living, otherwise, everyone will be busy with this job and eat what they have in hand, and they will die.

Knowing that they might be able to find a source of water on the mountain, they were working with anticipation, but there was nothing in the end, which filled them with disappointment and their hearts fluttered.

"Village Chief, when will the digging be finished?"

"That's right, if this goes on, the whole mountain will be dug up,"

Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction sentence by sentence, but Yun Shu didn't say anything, just looked at the long yellow sand and didn't know what to do.

"Don't worry, there will always be a solution." These idiots, don't they know that it is best for them to delay for a few days?
If he can work for a few days, he will get a few more days' wages. Even he has it, and he still thinks that he can take the lunch home to satisfy the children at home.

"What can we do? The imperial court doesn't care about us at all, and those officials even want to force us to death. No matter how hard we try, it's useless. They don't care about the lives of us people!" Someone roared, The emotions are about to collapse.

The village chief gritted his teeth in anger, but Yun Shu was here, and he couldn't say it clearly, so he reprimanded loudly: "You are lazy, are you, don't do it if you don't want to, don't hurt everyone, they Still waiting for wages to take care of the young and old at home, "

The emotional person calmed down because of the village chief's words, and looked at Yun Shu who was standing not far away, a little at a loss, afraid that she would make him leave in anger.

The wages of those few days all contained the belief of their family to survive. If there was no such thing, their family really couldn't last long.

"Village Chief," Yun Shu called with his back to them.

The people who made the trouble just now turned pale with nervousness, and looked at the village head with pleading eyes.

"Madam Rao," the village chief stepped forward with a flattering smile and shouted.

"Let them rest in the afternoon, this water is not easy to find, let me think about it carefully," perhaps, she was looking in the wrong direction.

The village chief opened his mouth, wanting to ask a few more questions, but thinking that if he angered her, it would be more harmless, he pursed his lips and nodded, then turned and left.

The villagers felt a little uneasy when they saw the village chief come back with a gloomy face. After hearing the village chief's words, everyone showed regret and regret. After all, half a day's salary is more than ten yuan, and there is a lunch .

"The food below is ready, you can go back after eating," Yun Shu couldn't help but pursed her lips and said with a smile when she heard the villagers lamenting the lunch.

Their request is very simple.

"Thank you, Mrs. Rao, let's go down the mountain now," the village chief replied happily, and hurriedly beckoned people to leave.

There was no one on the mountain except Yun Shu, and the bustling atmosphere became quiet because of the villagers' departure. This quietness made Yun Shu feel flustered, as if he had no direction, lost his way like the long yellow sand in the distance up.

Stretching out her hand to support her forehead, Yun Shu squinted her eyes to feel the damp breath, but she didn't have a clue in her heart.

Things that I thought would come naturally, turned out to be so difficult.

He clearly knew that there was a source of water on the mountain, but he still couldn't find it.

Is it really necessary to dig three feet into the ground?
If we encountered such a situation in the previous life, all kinds of large-scale machines can solve it, but here, it can only be done manually, and all kinds of care must be taken, for fear that accidentally digging in the wrong place will bring irreparable damage. s consequence.

Yang Family Village is just below, if a big gap is dug, the water will flow down, the situation makes one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

"What should I do?" Muttering helplessly, Yun Shu felt that her confidence was gradually being hit, and her heart was also shaking...

A person stood quietly for an unknown how long, until a familiar breath came from behind, and a pair of warm hands passed around her waist, holding her tightly in her arms, which made her stop from being dazed. I came back to my senses.

"Why did you come up?" Without turning around, she snuggled into her warm chest and asked a little lonely.

"The villagers have all gone down, why don't you go down?" He waited below for a while, seeing that she was still not coming down, worried that something might happen to her, so he came up directly.

Rubbing on Rao Mingxu's body, feeling that his cold body was gradually warming up, he said desolately, "I seem to have messed up things,"

"And then?" Rao Mingxu was not agitated at all, and his voice was quite calm.

Yun Shu turned around and looked up at him, and said pitifully, "Don't you think I'm useless?"

He lowered his head and gently kissed her on the forehead, with pity in his eyes, and said with distressed words: "Don't push yourself too hard, this is not something that can be decided by human beings, you can think of so much, it's already very difficult Well, no one will blame you." If she hadn't observed so carefully, I believe even he would not have thought of asking the villagers to dig the wet soil to find water.
