  Chapter 120 120. Selling Children and Selling Women

  Chu Qingzhi got off the horse and walked towards the little girl, "Little girl, don't cry, I'll help you see grandpa, and I'll rescue him in a while."

  When the little girl heard this, she quickly knelt down to Chu Qingzhi, "Sister, save my grandfather, I will serve you like a cow or a horse, and a maidservant."

  Chu Qingzhi's firm heart was moved by the little girl's words, "Good boy."

  She stretched out her hand to feel the pulse of the old man.

   It's not serious, it's just the dehydration caused by lack of water.

  Tang Jinghong came over, "What's wrong with Qingzhi?"

  Chu Qingzhi said, "Lack of water."

  Fang Zerong came over with a water bag, opened the lid, and slowly fed the old man to drink.

  Tang Jinghong raised his head, and there was a village nearby. At this time, it should have been the time when the cooking smoke was rising, but the village was very quiet, as if there were no people.

  He ordered, "Tan Yibin, take a few people to visit the village."

   Tan Yibin cupped his fists, "It's the general." He turned his head and waved to the four soldiers, "Follow me."

   "Cough cough cough..." The old man woke up, he slowly opened his eyes, the dazzling light made him feel like he had ascended to heaven.

  Seeing the old man woke up, the little girl jumped over happily, "Grandpa, grandpa..."

  The old man hugged his granddaughter before regaining consciousness, "Yingying, it's okay, grandpa is awake."

   When he was talking, he noticed the people around him. Seeing that they were soldiers, he quickly got up and said excitedly, "Mr. Jun, Mr. Jun, are you sent by the imperial court to help us?"

   Tang Jinghong's eyes darkened, "Yes, tell us about the situation."

  The old man couldn't help crying, "It's good if you come here. Our village is not facing the river, and the surrounding area has dried up. The three old wells in the village have dried up, and the food has withered. We can't survive."

  Tang Jinghong took Qing Zhi to the side and asked in a low voice, "Qing Zhi, is there a water vein near here?"

  Chu Qingzhi nodded, "Yes, there are in every place, it's just a matter of depth, please appease the villagers first, I'll go find the water veins."

  In fact, no matter how dry it is, the ground will never dry up, and there will be water no matter what, but the surface is short of water.

  Tang Jinghong pinned Chu Qingzhi's sweat-wet temple hair to his ears, "Qingzhi, thank you for your hard work."

  Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, "I am happy to help you."

   Then Tang Jinghong arranged for a group of soldiers to follow Chu Qingzhi to find Shui Mai, while he led a group of soldiers to the village to check the situation.

  The village is lifeless, except for a few big trees that are still green, other grasses, vegetables, and grains are all withered, and the leaves are so dry that they can make a crisp sound when stepped on, and can be ignited at a touch.

  The villagers sat dryly in their houses, their faces numb, as if they were just waiting to die.

   But seeing the soldiers, they still ran out and surrounded them, with bright hope bursting out of their dead eyes.

   "Master, please help!"

  Tan Yibin stopped in front of Tang Jinghong to protect his general, he said loudly, "Everyone be quiet, we are here to help you, don't make noise, listen to our general."

  The villagers immediately fell silent, for fear that if they spoke, their last hope would be lost.

  Tang Jinghong glanced at the withered faces, "Tan Yibin, bring us a hundred catties of grain, gather water from the soldiers, and make porridge for everyone."

  A little boy asked fearfully, "General, we haven't drunk water for five days, can you give us some water to drink?"

  Tang Jinghong ordered, "Give water to the villagers first, and then make porridge."

"yes."

  The soldiers acted immediately, and the water was quickly distributed to the villagers one by one, and the porridge was boiled.

  The villagers gulped down the water, and the cool feeling slipped from their throats to their stomachs, and they felt like they had restarted their lives and gained new life.

  Chu Qingzhi came over, "Jing Hong, I found a water vein, let the villagers prepare tools, and I will take them to dig."

  Tang Jinghong immediately arranged, "Everyone take your hoes and follow me."

  The villagers knew that he was a general, and the majesty was automatically established in their hearts. After hearing his words, the labor force in the village immediately took their hoes and came to Tang Jinghong.

  Chu Qingzhi led a group of villagers to a locust tree on the right outside the village, "Dig here, and there will be water after digging two meters."

  When the villagers heard that there was water, they dug without hesitation.

  At the beginning, the soil was lumpy and hard to dig. It was only after one meter deep that the soil became moist and everyone saw earthworms.

   After two meters, I really saw the water.

   "Ah, there is water, there is water!"

   "There is really water."

   "The little girl is amazing, we have water and are saved."

  The cheers from the villagers were moving. Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi looked at each other and smiled.

   After the villagers cheered, they all knelt down to Chu Qingzhi, "Thank you girl, thank you girl, girl is a **** descended from the earth, a fairy!"

Chu Qingzhi helped the village head up, "There is a steady stream of water in this place, so don't worry about running out of water. Now we have to go to a place where the drought is more severe, and we don't have time to stay. Please let the village head inform the nearby villagers. Get through it together."

  The village head repeatedly agreed, "Yes, yes, I listen to the girl."

  The surrounding soldiers saw what Chu Qingzhi did, and listened to Chu Qingzhi's words, their eyes showed admiration. Their future general's wife can advance and retreat with the general, it is really a good match.

  Leaving two hundred catties of grain, Tang Jinghong led the soldiers to continue marching.

   Just as they were about to leave, the little girl who started crying ran over, "Sister, if you need a maid, please send someone to tell me, and I will definitely be your maid."

  Chu Qingzhi smiled at the little girl, "To be a maid, you have to grow up healthy first, you know?"

  The little girl nodded heavily, "I will."

  The villagers have been sending each other off along the way, and it took a long time before returning.

  …

   With the march, the drought is getting worse...

"Ohh Ohh ohh…"

   "Don't cry, don't cry, sell you to the county, you will have something to eat at least, if you stay, you will only die."

   "Xiaoying is good, dad can't help it, selling you is also saving your life."

  Three men in front were pushing a scooter, and there were several little girls aged three to seven sitting on the cart, all in shabby clothes, all of them were crying, and those men also had red eyes, holding back their sadness.

  When they saw the soldiers in front of them, they all stopped, walked over quickly in a daze, knelt down, "I have seen the military master."

  Tang Jinghong glanced at the children and the children of Sanche with eagle-like eyes, "Are you going to sell those children?"

  A man wiped away his tears, "Master Jun, there is nothing we can do, the village can't survive, they have only a dead end, sell it to the county town, at least there is still food to eat."

  Tang Jinghong said in a deep voice, "Stop selling your child, take us to the village."

  When the man heard this, he realized that he was planning to save them, so he quickly responded, "Okay, please, military masters."

  Following the three men, the group came to a village called Xiaoye Village.

   Anyone compliment me?
