Chapter 126
Huang Wenjun was very anxious when he saw how the villager felt less and less motivated.The rain has not diminished at all, the fields are all flooded, and now even the house is flooded by one-third, why are they not in a hurry?

Not long after, they saw Gou Xiong coming over with a hoe on his shoulders. Everyone was surprised. The terrain at the foot of the mountain was lower than this. How did he get here?
"If anyone needs help, just tell me, don't be dazed, what's going on, you're still dawdling there. By the way, have you blocked the two bamboo pipes that lead the water down from the mountain? Find someone to block it. It was too big to say, it was still muddy.”

The water used in his own home is all this rainwater.Just put the bucket outside, and it will be full in a short while. Ali said to filter it, pour the top into the tank, and dump the rest.

The water brought down by the bamboo pipe is now mixed up and completely useless.

"Oh, okay, let's go right away!" Huang Wenjun only remembered now that the bamboo tube was not blocked.Maybe there is so much water in the village, and half of it is due to the bamboo pipe!
It has been raining heavily for more than a month. During this month, the water flow problem in Lihua Village has been dredged, and it is no longer flooded so badly.By this time, it was already November, and the weather was getting colder and colder.

Su Li is a person who is afraid of the cold, and now he doesn't want to get up every morning. He often lies under the quilt, with his head exposed and his eyes gurgling, looking around.

"A Li, get up, it's rare that it's sunny today, get up and bask in the sun!" Gou Xiong was relieved when he saw that the rain had finally stopped after so long.

He was really afraid to continue, this person was about to go moldy, let alone that thing or something.The clothes have been drying for a month, but they can't dry. They have to be dried in a place with a fire.

"A Li, grandma is going home today, you have to be good these few days!" Liu Lin's voice came from outside the door.

It seems that grandma is also impatient. It has been raining for so long, and it finally stopped. Of course, grandma wants to go home and have a look.

It was getting colder and colder this day, Su Li originally wanted grandma to bring a quilt home.After thinking about it, forget it.

"Sanggong, let's tidy up all the things in the cellar today and take them out to dry. It has been raining for so long, and many things are probably damp."

Su Li got up slowly, couldn't help taking a breath, and haha.No, it's too cold, no wonder the rain these days has started to freeze, he's so cold.

Isn't this the legendary ice rain or freezing rain?Now the common people can survive this winter, but what about next spring?From the second half of the year until now, it can be said that there is no harvest. What do those ordinary people rely on to live?
But fortunately, I bought a lot of grain before and divided it into two cellars. At least I don’t have to worry about eating, but after the next spring, what should I do?
The price of food in the town must be soaring now, and those businessmen will take advantage of the fire to rob them.

"Okay, just sit and watch, I'll do it. Ali, I want to go to the town in two days to have a look. It's time to add something to the house. In April and May next year, our child will be born. It's been a few months."

That's right, if you count carefully, the child has been around for more than three months, and after November and December, and next May, it should be about the same.

It's just that this house doesn't have everything, what else is he going to do in the town?
Perhaps seeing the doubt in Su Li's eyes, Gou Xiong said: "A Li, I want to buy you some clothes. You are afraid of the cold. I want to wait until the mountain is dry. I will go hunting and give you a good fur." Come back and make clothes for you."

These days, Su Li rubbed his hands frequently, gasped, or didn't want to get up, which made Gou Xiong's heart ache.

"Okay, then I'll go with you. I haven't been to the town for a long time. It's just time to go and see what's going on. But today I still have to dry the things at home first!"

Is it only Lingxiao City that is affected by the disaster this year, or the entire Haoyue Continent?Why no one came out to command?If it weren't for Huang Wenjun and Huang Chunhui's father and son before, the current Lihua Village might not be what it is now?

"Okay!" Gou Xiong nodded, seeing that Su Li got up, grandma had already warmed her breakfast in the pot, and left.

The things of Gou Xiong's house were left in the sun for three days, and many things happened in these three days.The price of grain in Baihua Town is now five times higher than before. After this drought and flood, nearly one-tenth of the population of Baihua Town has died, and two-thirds of the people who stayed are now poor. .

Although the people in Lihua Village had already prepared for the drought, they were slightly better than other villages.But there are always a few families who don't take this matter to heart.

It was only at this moment that they started to get anxious, such as the brothers Gou Dafu and his family.

"Brother, what do you think we should do now? The price of rice and noodles outside is so high, it doesn't matter, the key is that we can't buy it yet. There are less than ten days' rations left at home, and this is still only enough for one day. In the case of one or two meals."

Gou Dalu just listened to his elder brother's words before, and the rations prepared by other families will not be until the beginning of spring next year.As for my family and my eldest brother's house, it was before the twelfth lunar month.

It's not that the twelfth lunar month has not yet arrived, and there are not many rice noodles left at home.I'm so worried, the weather is not good now, and there are no fresh leafy vegetables.

Even the price of coarse grains in the town is more expensive than the good rice in the past. What should I do?It hurts to think about spending so much money on it.

Finally, I gritted my teeth and spent money to buy it, but was told to buy it for a limited time, but I couldn't buy it.

"I don't have much left in my family, or I can share some with you. My family is at most a little better than yours. It's just two or three days more rations. Or I think so, you go to Gou Xiong's house and find him Borrow it. Isn’t his family rich? Presumably there is no shortage of these foods, so it’s enough to ask for some? No wonder he wants to watch us uncles and uncles starve to death?”

Gou Dafu did not believe that under such circumstances, he, Gou Xiong, could see death without saving him.

"Then I'll go to him today and ask for some." Gou Dalu thought it was the same way, and readily agreed.Doesn't he have a lot of money?
"Is Gou Xiong at home?"

After noon, Gou Dalu and Gou Wang had arrived in front of Gou Xiong's house with a cloth bag.For more than a month, Bai Jian and Hei Bei were trapped and couldn't go anywhere. They finally stopped, and the mountain roads were dry. They ran away early in the morning and saw no dogs, and there were no dogs sitting in front of the house.

Seeing that the two dogs were nowhere to be seen, the couple pushed aside the fence and went in by themselves.Seeing the pile of rice sun-dried on the ground, he immediately swallowed.

My God, this rice looks good at first glance, and now it costs twenty yuan a catty outside.
