Nongwomen's Spring

Chapter 112 It's No Reason To Trap You (3)
After Liu Jun washed his face, when he came back, he saw his wife looking around in the cellar, so he stepped in and stood next to Zhang Qian. The young couple looked at the food in the cellar, and each other felt much calmer .

"Msister, you can buy another cart of grain in the next two days. Before the price of grain has risen, it is not a bad thing for us to buy more and save it." After thinking about it, Zhang Qian felt that it would be safer to buy more grain and put it away.

Whether the price of grain has risen now is because the harvest of grain in the fields has not yet come. Once this month passes, the merchants who sell grain realize that the grain production in various places has decreased, and the price of grain will inevitably rise. At that time, the most feared thing will happen, that is, the drought period.

"Okay, I'll go to town again tomorrow afternoon." Liu Jun responded lightly, frowning slightly, the weather is getting more and more unusual now, on the way to the town today, he saw Several creeks in the village have dried up. If this continues, the drought will really come.

Next, Zhang Qian told Liu Jun what happened in the village today.

After Liu Jun listened, he grabbed Zhang Qian's catkin and held it gently, his eyes were full of love, "Xiaoqian, thank you, if the villagers know that you helped them think about this matter, they will definitely appreciate it." your."

Zhang Qian shook her head and said with a smile, "I don't need their thanks, and I don't want to, I just did what I should do, and the rest is up to them."

After a few days, the two wells of Xinliu's house were dug out. When the water came out from these two wells, even Uncle Liu, who had been drilling wells for more than [-] years, couldn't help but praise the two wells of Xinliu's house for being good, and the water source was sufficient. Class words.

With the well, Zhang Qian no longer worries about the lack of water in her home when the drought strikes. Now, she takes Xiaoba to organize things in the vegetable garden behind the house every day.

A few days later, the villagers who were sent by Village Chief Liu to search for water on the mountain came back excitedly and told the whole village that they really found a spring on the back mountain. The big river dried up to the knees, but the springs on the mountain did not decrease at all.

When the villagers heard the news, the gloomy atmosphere that had lasted for many days suddenly eased a lot. Everyone's faces were no longer lifeless, and a smile finally appeared on their faces.

Sure enough, just as Zhang Qian thought, once this month passed and a new January began, the price of food in the town suddenly rose by half.

When the people in the village heard the news brought by the villagers who came back from the town, they were relieved one by one. They were lucky that they had the village head before the foresight. Can't afford it anymore.

As the weather is getting hotter and hotter, God still hasn't rained at all. The crops in the fields are dried by the sun in the sky, and the villagers' fields have no harvest.

The water in the big river in the village was also completely dried up the day before yesterday, and everyone is now eating the water from the pool in the back mountain.

Zhang Qian is totally ignorant of what happened in the village. She is now living her own life behind closed doors.

Today, Xiaoyu came back from the town. The little guy's face was covered with dust, as if he had rummaged in the field.

"Sister, I'm back." Xiaoyu stood in the yard and shouted to the whole quiet big house.

The quiet hall made Xiaoyu feel uneasy!
Fear flashed in the little guy's eyes. Nothing will happen to his family. When he came back, he heard that there were many refugees from other places in other towns. As soon as those refugees saw Delicious things will be snatched up, and some people even rob houses and houses in order to grab food.

Zhang Qian and Liu Jun, who were checking the food in the cellar, heard Xiaoyu's voice, and Zhang Qian walked out first.

"Xiaoyu is back, why didn't you tell us in advance, I will ask your brother-in-law to pick you up!" Zhang Qian was the first to run out, seeing Xiaoyu with red eyes in the yard, the first thing she felt was this little guy Seems to have grown a lot taller.

"Sister, where have you gone, I'm so worried." When Xiaoyu saw Zhang Qian, the crystal tears in his eyes flowed down, and he threw himself into Zhang Qian's arms and cried without saying a word.

Zhang Qian stood firm and supported Xiao Yu who suddenly ran over in her arms. When she heard what he said behind her, she had a dumbfounding expression on her face. She hugged him and waited quietly for him to finish crying. Pushed it out of his arms, smiled and said to him, "Silly boy, why are you crying, sister is fine."

Xiaoyu sniffed, eyes were red, pouted and said coquettishly to Zhang Qian, "I saw the house was empty, of course I was scared."

"Okay, don't be afraid, sister is fine, everyone in the family is fine, by the way, why are you back today? It doesn't seem like Muxiu's day today." Could it be that she is living her life behind closed doors these days, making her life confused.

Xiaoyu sniffed again, thinking that he threw himself into his sister's arms and cried like a child just now, his little face couldn't help turning red.

He seemed a bit hesitant when answering Zhang Qian's question, "Well, today is not Muxiu's day. It is the husband who said that the town is not peaceful recently, and told us not to go to school to study, but to stay at home first."

After Zhang Qian listened, she immediately understood what Mr. Xuetang meant. It is estimated that the drought broke out and the town became less peaceful.

But when I think that the place where there are officers and soldiers stationed in the town is not peaceful, then the small village like them is even more peaceful. Thinking of this, Zhang Qianqiao turned pale, and told Xiaoyu that if he is hungry, there is food in the kitchen, and then he turned around. Look for Liu Jun in the cellar.

As soon as Liu Jun finished listening to Zhang Qian's explanation, Jun's face also showed a look of anxiety, Liu Jun turned around and left Xinliu's house, heading towards the village head Liu's house.

At night Liu Jun returned home with a tired face. The child who was eight, four or five years younger couldn't stay up all night, so he went back to his room to sleep.

Xiaoyu and Zhang Qian were the only ones left waiting in the hall. Liu Jun returned home, took a big bowl of rice and ate a bowl of rice before recovering.

Feeling that there were two eyes staring at him in the hall, Liu Jun knew that the two of them were waiting for him to talk about something.

After taking a sip of tea, Liu Jun spoke slowly, "I have discussed with the village chief, the exits of our village must be guarded every day, as long as they are outsiders, we will not let them in, and, There will also be people patrolling the village."

When Zhang Qian heard the result, she also showed a satisfied expression on her face. This method is the best method for the people in the village.

In the following days, God still did not wake up from his deep sleep, and the sun was still hanging high every day, and a large piece of the field was exposed to the sun.

The people in the village didn't buy a lot of grain, and they didn't know when the drought would end, and everyone couldn't just eat grain, so one day they would starve to death, so the villagers thought of digging wild vegetables in the mountains.
