Transmigrated Into Farmer's Family

The men who have shaved their heads are responsible for fetching water with buckets, and some go to the cave to move the grain back, move to the ancestral temple to watch, and then everyone gets a share.

After shaving, everyone went to fetch water with buckets. When they got back, they immediately boiled soap horn soup, boiled water and took a bath. Then they boiled grass ash water, washed clothes and bedding, and cleaned the whole house up and down. They didn't even let go of the places where they raised livestock. When they met mosquitoes and flies, they were killed!

Li Jinmei and Cao Laoliu also shaved their heads. They shaved their heads at home. Xu Qing didn't dare to do it, but Li Changting was good at it.

Xiaomeizi and Xuying also shaved.

Hui'er is always clean, which is the result of Xu Qing bathing him every day. However, Xia Tian's long hair is not easy to take care of. Xu Qing uses scissors to cut his hair short and has a fresh hairstyle.

Li Changting's hair did not move, Xu Qing only left the length of the shoulder.

Two days later, the village was transformed.

Although these two days still continue to have high fever people died, but the rest of the people, or lucky to start fever, which let everyone see the hope.

Xiaomeizi's fever has also subsided, and her temperature is approaching normal. However, a serious illness has made her weak, which may take a long time to recover.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, especially at noon when the sun is most poisonous. Going out for a short time can make people's skin red.

Without water for such a long time, the crops in the field have dried up after all, and even the vegetables in the vegetable field have not been spared. Now even the grass is hard to grow outside, and the livestock at home have no grass to eat. They are wasting away day by day, and they are reluctant to feed.

In the end, every family made up their mind to clean up most of the livestock in the family. It's too hot to put them away. If they have surplus, their neighbors will come and buy some food to help their family. There's no need to worry about eating too much.

As soon as the weather gets hot, things in summer are in hot demand. Herbal tea and mung beans are all good things. More than one person here has asked her if she can sell some mung beans.

Xu Qing has more than 100 Jin of mung beans, so it's not a problem for each family to sell them evenly.

Recently, there are more and more people suffering from heatstroke in the village. They are counting on mung bean.

Although the cave where the underground river is hidden is quite close to Changxi village, it is separated by a hilltop after all. In order to keep clean, every family has to go up and down several times a day to carry water.

It takes half an hour to go back and forth, and most of the day is spent in carrying water. Even the strong men can't bear it, but in order not to catch the plague, they have to stick to it.

It's just late June. How can we live in the hottest July and August?

That day, Xu Qing followed Li Changting to the cave.

The entrance of the cave is relatively small, but it's quite large inside. It's a natural stone cave, about 20 meters deep. The ground is inclined downward. The deepest part is also the lowest place. There's a natural crack. It's dark. If it's not for the torch, people will probably fall into the crack when they walk.

Li Changting lost a torch to go down. Under the crack more than one meter wide, there is also a stone cave, which is 100 meters deep. I can't see exactly how big it is.

You can only see the place where the firelight shines when the torch falls. The mountain is steep and the river is fast.

Xu Qing was a little afraid of heights. After a few eyes, he did not dare to look down. After the torch fell into the water and went out, nothing could be seen below. He could only vaguely hear the sound of water flowing.

It's dark here, but it's really cool.

After going back, Xu Qing discussed with Li Changting: "do you think it is possible for everyone to move to the cave? It's close to the water source, and it's also a summer resort. "

"The cave is not big enough."

"If it's not big enough, you can dig it again. It's a gully. You can dig a large area. As long as you do a good job in preventing collapse, a tunnel will be dug into the mountain, and every family will have a small underground cave."

Li Changting thought about it for a moment and said, "this is a big project. I'll go and discuss it with the patriarch."

The patriarch is also looking for Li Changting. In fact, there is nothing particularly important. Before, he organized the villagers to dig two deep wells. One of them couldn't dig out water, but when there was a plague, it was over.

The other is to dig out water. At the beginning, there was still one meter deep well water to be pumped. I don't know whether it was too hot these two days. The water in the well is getting less and less, and now it's dried up.

Fortunately, they found a groundwater source in their village. It doesn't matter if the two wells don't come out of the water, but it's hard work to carry water. There are still several families in the village who don't have the strength to drink water, so they have to pay for food.

Maybe the hygiene was not well done. As a result, some people in these families had a high fever. The weather was so hot that they almost disappeared the next day. What a pity.

Li Changting asked the patriarch how many people there are in the village now.

The patriarch calculated and said, "there are 216 people left Alas, Changxi village used to be a big village in shiliba Township, with more than 370 people! In a twinkling of an eye, there were so many people lost In my calculation, besides those who fled, more than 100 people died, and five families even died... "Speaking of this, the patriarch could not help but burst into tears.

No village in shiliba village has more people than Changxi village. Half of the credit should be attributed to the good governance of the clan heads of the past dynasties. Otherwise, how could the clan heads have been able to speak well in front of the county master before? The constable Qin also respected the clan head.

But Li Changting was calculating, 216 people, how big a cave to get through.

At this time, Li Jing came in and said to the patriarch, "ah Gong, ah Qing's mother-in-law has gone."

Smell speech, patriarch already is see strange not strange, he calm face sighed tone: "hurry to cremate, I go to have a look."

"Don't go. Sister-in-law a Qing has moved her mother-in-law to the crematorium. I just came to tell you that on such a hot day, you can't be heated any more." Li Jing stopped.

The patriarch asked, "did you go with high fever or heatstroke?"

"Chen Li went to ask. Ah Qing's sister-in-law said that her mother-in-law ate a steamed bread that was crawled by flies last night. Ah Qing's sister-in-law didn't let her eat it. Her mother-in-law was reluctant to throw it away. She said that it was OK to eat it. As a result, she had a high fever at night."

The patriarch's face sank: "didn't they all say that you can't eat what flies have crawled?"

But the old man was stubborn, and there was no way to do it. The patriarch sighed: "forget it, you can go to shangzhuxiang for me."

"Good." Li Jing answered and went out.

The patriarch looked at Li Changting thoughtfully and asked, "Changting, what are you thinking?"

Li Changting: "you say, let everyone move to the cave to live?"
