Chapter 33 Searching
  Since finishing their work, Qin Jia has led everyone on a horse-walk every morning.

In the past two days, Zhao Dong often went to the fork in the territory to ask for information from the guards.

I heard that his parents and brother were exiled to Higurashi in another team.

Logically speaking, this time should have arrived, but no one was seen, and no news of new prisoners arriving was heard.

Mr. Ming and others who were thinking about the territory seemed to have information channels, so he went to inquire with the guards every day to get some information.

Unfortunately, every day comes to nothing.

Now all three families have kitchens and cook separately.

After all, we always eat them together. It’s embarrassing if someone wants to have some other flavors. It’s better to cook them separately.

Recently, the fields only need to be watered every once in a while, so everyone has nothing to do.

Of course, you still have to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and fruits, and you also have to cut firewood and pile it up in the woodshed for later use.

The younger ones are collecting fallen leaves and preparing to use them as fertilizer.

knock --

Qin Huaiyi, who was teaching three children to write in the yard, put down the book in his hand, stood up and opened the door.

"It's Dongzi, have you eaten?"

Zhao Dong nodded, "After eating, Uncle Qin, I came here to tell you that I want to drive a donkey cart out to find my parents.

Qianqian is alone at home, please keep an eye on her. "

"Okay, don't worry. If Qianqian is afraid, just let her move here. There are still vacancies in the wooden house behind."

"Okay, then I'll get ready to go."

Qin Huaiyi warned: "Bring a long knife, don't be soft-hearted when encountering trouble, and come back safely."

"Ok!"

After Zhao Dong left, the courtyard door was closed again.

The three of them had a fence outside, so the knock on the door in the courtyard must be from the other two families.

Outsiders can only knock on the large wooden door outside.

Seeing Qin Huaiyi coming back, Qin Jia asked curiously: "Who is here?"

"Brother Dongzi said he was going to find his parents and asked us to take care of your sister Qianqian."

"Oh."

"Linlin will go to Zhao's house later and ask Qianqian if she wants to live with Zhishu and the others. She is at home by herself. I don't know if she is afraid."

***
  In the end, Zhao Qian came. After all, she was just a little girl, so there was no way she was not afraid.

Thinking that she was alone, Fang Yuerong asked her to eat at home without starting the fire.

Anyway, it’s just a little girl, so she can’t eat much.

Five days have passed since Zhao Dong left.

Looking at the weather, which has not been raining, Qin Huaiyi's eyebrows have never stretched.

That day, after they had practiced martial arts in the morning and read a book, he left home with his hands behind his back and went to the home of a nearby prisoner with whom he got along well.

The one closest to them is an old man named Wang, who lives here alone.

The brand on his neck is the word "kill", which means he was sentenced to exile after killing someone.

To be honest, in the territory, such criminals are basically people who are kept away from. After all, if you can kill one person, you will definitely kill the second one.

After all, people who can be exiled are not necessarily extremely evil people, so they are naturally afraid of such people.

Who knows if the other person will secretly kill you during the relationship.

The person Qin Huaiyi wanted to see was Uncle Wang, because he was the person who had been exiled here for the longest time.

They had met him in the mountains before and found that although this man had a cold personality, he was still a good person.

Even if he sees Ye Ting hunting alone, he will help him.

Soon, Qin Huaiyi arrived at his neighbor's house.

Uncle Wang lives by himself, and the wooden house he built is not big, and because it has been built for many years, it looks like it is about to collapse. “Uncle Wang, are you at home?”

Creak - the door opens.

The expressionless Uncle Wang saw it was him and asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

Qin Huaiyi smiled and handed over a plate of pancakes. There were not many pancakes, only three. But in a place like this, white flour is so expensive that no one except Mr. Ming and others can afford it.

"Uncle Wang, my wife made pancakes today, and I thought I'd give you two to try."

"come in."

After Uncle Wang let Qin Huaiyi into the house, he went straight to the kitchen, offered him a pheasant, and then took the pancakes.

Qin Huaiyi refused to take it, "Uncle Wang, I can't have it. There's no point in exchanging two pancakes for a chicken."

"Take it, I can't finish it by myself, and it's so hot today. Once you've finished stewing it, just give me a bowl."

"Then... okay." Thinking of Uncle Wang's cooking skills, he agreed.

At worst, send half over.

Their family is not very short of meat when they have Ye Ting, so they really don't want to take advantage of the old man.

After Qin Huaiyi took the pheasant, he said: "Uncle Wang, when I come here this time, I also want to ask, you have been in Rimuzhou for many years, and the summer has always been like this. It doesn't rain for three months?"

It's almost autumn, and it hasn't rained a single time. How can we not worry about it?

Although the water in the pool will recover a little every night, it hasn't rained yet. Everyone has to water the ground, so the water level is obviously a little lower.

Uncle Wang also farmed his own land. Hearing this, he knew what he was worried about.

"In Nigurus, it's normal for it not to rain in March, but if it lasts more than half a year, something will be wrong."

Hearing that it was normal, Qin Huaiyi breathed a sigh of relief, "I've always heard about the drought in the north of Western Shu, and I'm a little worried...

It's normal, but it's just that there is such a lack of water all year round, and I don't know if the pool can use water for crops. "

"That's enough. It's connected to the underground river in the mountains."

Qin Huaiyi had guessed this before, otherwise it would not have been three months in a row and no one in the territory was in a hurry.

If there was a water shortage, we would have already restricted everyone’s access to water.

But not yet. The ground should be watered, and the ground is still being watered.

"That's good, that's good. Uncle Wang, please try the pancakes. I'll go back first and stew the chicken in the evening before bringing it to you."

"Yes." Uncle Wang replied lightly.

He is a man of few words, so it's no wonder that people in the territory are afraid of him. If it weren't for Ye Ting, the Qin family wouldn't know him.

After getting along with each other, I found that the rumors really cannot be believed.

When he went back, Qin Huaiyi felt obviously relaxed a lot because he got his uncle.

As soon as I got home, I saw someone preparing to knock on their courtyard door.

He quickly stepped forward and said hello with fists in his hands, "Master Yuan, what kind of wind brought you here today?"

The person who came was none other than Lin Yuan. Because Qin Huaiyi had traded with him many times, the two of them were able to chat.

"Where did Uncle Qin come back from?"

"Isn't it because it hasn't rained since I came here? I was worried and went to have a chat with Uncle Wang."

"Uncle Wang? He is indeed the person who has stayed in this area the longest."

When Uncle Wang lived here, he and the boss had not yet been exiled here.

Speaking of which, they are the latecomers.

"Yes, Uncle Wang is a very nice person. If you have any questions, he is willing to explain to him."

Nice person? Lin Yuan's face looked a little strange.

Just that old man with a bad temper? Are they good to others? This Qin family member may not have bad eyesight.
