Chapter 1 I Can Find Water!

God blessed the drought for three years, and the people had no harvest.

In the Dongtou mountain depression of Wangjiacun Village, there is a dry well surrounded by fences.

Standing by the well was a skinny boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing old clothes and unkempt, his rough hands were struggling to shake the pulley on the well, as if he wanted to fish out some heavy things from the well.

"Hey, Saburo, are you fishing for that stupid daughter-in-law of yours again? You just fell down yesterday. What rare goods are there in this well?"

Playful laughter came from behind, and a mean woman with protruding cheekbones, with a bamboo basket on her waist, walked over twisting her waist.

The young man didn't turn his head back, and didn't answer, he silently turned the pulley to the tightest position, and saw an unconscious girl hanging half of her body outside the barrel, and he lifted it up with great effort.

The girl's body was as thin as the boy's. He picked her up on his back, turned and walked towards the village.

"Hey?" Seeing that the young man ignored her, the woman rushed over to block his way, with one hand on her hip: "Sanlang, why didn't you even say hello to your aunt? Your book has been read into the stomach of a dog." ?”

Women in the countryside are so vulgar, they can say whatever they want, without any scruple.

The young man glanced at the woman in front of him coldly: "Tell Ren Yazi, Yaoer, I won't sell it!"

He changed direction, bypassed the woman and continued on his way.

The woman who was left aside was very annoyed, and stomped her feet resentfully: "Ning Yi, you ignorant little bastard, you just keep this money-losing product, I want to see how you starve to death! "

The woman felt perplexed after scolding, and ran after her for a few steps, stretched her neck and shouted, "Three hundred cash! You still owe my cousin's family three hundred cash for the funeral! Bah, why don't you think you're a scholar? , I won’t lend it to your family for the funeral! Let my cousin go to your house to collect the debt later!”

The woman scolded for a long time, and didn't stop until she could no longer see her back.

Little did they know, the girl who was carried behind Ning Yi had already opened her eyes and glanced at her coldly.

That pair of muddy and foolish pupils unexpectedly had a strange look on them, and with just one glance, one could see the woman's destiny

——high cheekbones, the main punishment of the husband, the eyes are vain and the eyebrows are messy, it is a sign of bankruptcy, and the black energy in the Yintang is entrenched, I am afraid that in the near future because of money, he will bring bloody disasters, and maybe he will be beaten by his husband, poor!

The girl shook her head and smiled, closing her eyes again.

Her name is He Xuanji, and she is a descendant of a feng shui family in the 21st century.

It's a pity that Heaven is jealous of Yingcai. When she was about to break through Yuanying, she was struck to death by Tianlei. When she woke up again, she found that she was dressed as the child bride of a poor family in ancient times? !
Fortunately, she has a firm heart. If it were someone else, she would probably have a nervous breakdown!

Absorbing the few scattered memories of the original owner, He Xuanji already understood her situation, and the most important thing right now was to fill her stomach.

This body has not eaten for two days and one night, and it is exhausted, not to mention fighting demons and ghosts, it doesn't even have the strength to speak!
Ning's house is not far from the east of the village, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to arrive, but Ning Yi walked her for a full two quarters of an hour.

Although it was spring, the weather was still very cold, and He Xuanji was blown all the way by the wind, shivering.

She looked up at the small hut of the Ning family, which was close at hand, and she burst into tears...

"Squeak-"

Ning Yi entered the small broken courtyard, slowly pushed open the half-covered door, and put He Xuanji on a two-meter-wide haystack.

Well, the haystack, that's where she sleeps.

He Xuanji was too lazy to complain, so she just lay quietly on the haystack, listening to the young man's busy footsteps in the house, turned her neck stiffly, and shouted, "Brother Ning, I'm hungry!"

That's what the original owner called him, and he only said "Brother Ning" from the beginning to the end, which made the villagers think that the original owner was a fool.

Ning Yi probably didn't expect the girl to say "I'm hungry", he glanced at He Xuanji in surprise, and said with pity: "Wait!"

He Xuanji looked at the young man who had gone to the firewood room with only his back left, and felt a slight headache.

The woman just now was Ning Yi's eldest aunt. When Ning Yi's parents were still alive, she naturally couldn't say anything. With a crooked mind, he wanted to sell the original owner for food.

In fact, He Xuanji hoped that Ning Yi would sell herself, so that there would be no cause and effect between them, and no one would restrain her in the future.

But he didn't agree, he was kind to himself!

In this way, if you want to get out in the future, it will be troublesome.

But now is not the time to think about these things, she looked up at the boy who came in holding a rough enamel bowl, thinking about food, her stomach growled unapologetically.

She stretched out her hands to support the haystack and climbed up, but the haystack itself was a soft thing, she struggled twice, and then lay down again without hope.

Ning Yi saw her, and grabbed her in the past.

His strength is not very strong, and He Xuanji also found that his hands were cold and trembling slightly. I don't know if this is hypoglycemia or cold?
There should be both, after all, hunger and cold.

It's just that when she came over and saw a rough gnocchi wrapped in a few rotten vegetable leaves in the bowl, she was completely out of ideas.

The gnocchi looked like they had been left for several days, they were yellow and hard, and they were not edible at all!
She looked up at Ning Yi, a look of helplessness flashed across the young man's skinny face, and he lowered his hand and said, "This is the only food left at home."

"..."

If this goes on like this, I'm really going to starve to death!
"Do you have copper coins at home?"

He Xuanji learned from the memory of the original owner that Ning Yi had just buried his father who died of a serious illness half a month ago, and there should be dozens of cash in his hand, which can be exchanged for some food.

Ning Yi understood what she meant and shook his head: "Copper coins are worthless!"

Well, in the era of severe drought across the country, gold and silver are no match for rice noodles, let alone copper plates?
He Xuanji resigned to her fate, grabbed the hard pimple and took a bite. The dry and hard pimple was so gritty that it almost broke her teeth!
It's too bad!

She wrinkled her little face, and gnawed the stone-hard gnocchi with difficulty. Seeing her wrinkled little face, Ning Yi turned around and brought the last small bowl of water at home.

The village is very short of water now, and each person can only receive a spoonful of water per head from house to house. This bowl of water is what Ning Yi went to the only old well in the village that can seep water this morning to get it.

Because the well can only seep a little water every day, so the water is mixed with sediment, and He Xuanji has no idea at first sight.

She didn't touch the water and continued to nibble on the gnocchi.

Seeing that she was eating hard, Ning Yi was silent for a while, and said, "Wait for me!"

He turned around and went out, He Xuanji looked at his disappearing back, and said silently in her heart: Sell me, sell me quickly!Just a bag of brown rice will do!

She prayed sincerely, but when the boy came in, there was an extra egg in his hand.

This……

"Give!"

He handed over the egg, and He Xuanji looked at the fat white egg that had been peeled off its shell, and Gulu swallowed.I didn't think about anything, grabbed the egg and ate it clean!

Half a gnocchi and an egg barely filled her stomach. He Xuanji felt a little stronger and was ready to go out.

"Don't go out!" Ning Yi stopped her, "It's chaotic outside!"

Of course He Xuanji knew that there was chaos outside. Every year of drought, the world is in chaos, and there are people who eat people!
However, the biggest predicament in Wangjia Village is the lack of water. As long as water sources can be found, many problems will be solved.

And maybe I can get some rice and noodles from the village, she is really hungry!

If you want to restore your previous strength, you have to fill your stomach first.

Thinking of this, she shook her head and said, "I can find the water source!"
