Chapter 69
"These, we don't know yet. The most important thing right now is to see if we can find a way to buy more food for emergencies!" Fei Yunyi didn't express any opinions on the current court, but only proposed the most crucial question.

"But, where can I buy it?" Zhong Qi looked at Fei Yunyi without confidence. They all worked in Miao's house. Because of their unreasonable trust in Miao Yinshu, they felt that they would not be hungry.However, the folks in Shilipo are all relatives, and it would be a very sad thing for them if someone starved to death because of the drought.

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent, only Xiao Xue'er, who didn't understand anything, babbled and wanted to pull Miao Yinshu's fingers into her mouth and gnaw.It's probably about to grow teeth, and I need something to put in my mouth to grind my teeth, and the saliva is dripping non-stop.

"It's not good! It's not good! It's fighting! It's fighting by the mother river!" Suddenly, the round-faced hired worker Dongzi ran up the mountain screaming and panting all the way. When he saw Fei Yunyi in the hall, he jumped Panting again, "Mr. Fei, Uncle Li Chang told you not to go near the mother river when you go back, so as not to be hurt by the chaotic crowd! Also, miss, Uncle Li Chang also told you not to go out casually!"

"What happened? Why did you fight?" Fei Yunyi was concerned about what happened by the mother's river. After all, a deep well was being dug there. If something happened, the water source in the village would be really There is no guarantee.

"Yeah, Dongzi, tell me slowly, what's going on!" Miao Yinshu stood up abruptly, and asked Zhong Yu to pour him a cup of mung bean soup to quench his thirst.

After gulping down a cup of mung bean soup to the bottom, Dongzi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's people from the neighboring village who came to our village to make trouble! Didn't the village head uncle discuss it with several village chiefs from the neighboring villages?" Is it about digging deep water wells? At that time, people in several villages invited other well masters to dig wells. However, people in the lowest few villages thought that they were in the lowest reaches, even if there was a drought They can't be dry either. Therefore, no one is willing to spend money to ask the master to dig a well, let alone buy the water pump invented by the young lady.

Unexpectedly, the drought is so severe this time, even the water level in the lower reaches of the mother river is dropping rapidly, and their paddy fields have begun to lack water.Then, I don't know who came to our village for a while, and saw that we had dug a lot of deep wells along the mother river, and the water in the wells was more than that in the river.Some people spread rumors everywhere, saying that it was because we dug these wells in the upstream that caused the shortage of water in the downstream, which should have plenty of water.So they gathered people from several downstream villages to come and make trouble in our village!
Uncle Li Chang explained to them for a long time, but they just couldn't listen and refused to let go. They would not give up until people from our village filled the well.

I don't know which conscienceless person actually took advantage of the chaos to say that the idea of ​​digging the well was the idea of ​​the eldest lady, and someone was looking around to find out where the eldest lady lived. Judging by the posture, they wanted to come to our mountain to make trouble Woolen cloth!That's why the chief told me to run faster and come over to inform the eldest lady.

I have fastened the gate at the bottom of the mountain. Uncle Zhong, who came back with me, is gathering the brothers who are working today and guarding the gate! "

He finished all the ins and outs in one breath, and at the end, Dongzi said to Miao Yinshu very righteously: "Miss, don't worry, everyone has agreed, and will protect you, absolutely not like that." People with thin eyelids and small minds come to hurt you every bit!"

"Miss!" Before Miao Yinshu could speak, Cui Gu was already hugging Xiao Xue'er nervously and her arms were trembling, "Miss, why don't you follow Mr. Fei to escape from the small gate in the back mountain to avoid the wind?" Head! Come back when things are over!"

"Yes, Miss, you'd better leave for a while, and come back after those people have dispersed!" Zhong Yu clenched her fists tightly, and she also looked like she was swearing to protect Miao Yinshu to the death.

Fei Yunyi had even forgotten about the defense of men and women, he grabbed Miao Yinshu's little hand with one hand, and was about to pull her to escape through the back door!

"I didn't do anything wrong, why did I run away?" Miao Yinshu's stubborn temper came up, and he didn't want to be a deserter no matter what, "I want to see what they want to do? I don't understand science, But I still want to put my ignorance on others. Faced with such people, I would be wronged if I escaped! Therefore, I will not leave, and the gate below does not need to be fastened. If they want to come, let them come up! "

"But, Yin Shu, if you really let them come up, they will destroy all the Chinese herbal medicines on your hillside!" Fei Yunyi knows best how much energy Miao Yinshu has spent on these Chinese herbal medicines Yes, when she was so angry and about to lose her mind, he gave her the most pertinent advice.

"However, I'm not convinced. It's because they don't want to plan for a rainy day, but they want to blame our village for their mistakes. If I don't argue with them, I will be irresponsible to everyone in our village!" The villagers of Shilipo only saw the hope in it, but they didn't know the key to it. If they didn't come forward, the deep water well that everyone worked so hard to dig might really face the end of being buried again. .

She is unwilling to have such an ending, so she has no choice but to meet those ignorant people without fear.

But at this time, it was the first time that Fei Yunyi hoped that Leng Jianxiao was still there, so that he would not feel that his skinny self had no confidence in protecting Yin Shu.

But scholars also have the stubbornness of scholars. Facing Miao Yinshu's firmness, he also forgot that Feng Dexian wanted Dongzi to protect him from danger when he asked Dongzi to report. He held Miao Yinshu's hand slightly and said: "That's good , I’ll be with you! It’s just that we can’t let them in, so let’s meet them outside the gate at the foot of the mountain!”

"Yeah!" Miao Yinshu, who was supported, grinned. She admired Fei Yunyi, who was so fearless in the face of danger. She didn't want the little Zhengtai she fancied to be weak forever.

When he came to the foot of the mountain, he simply explained what he meant. After looking at each other today, the hired workers on duty resolutely decided to believe in the judgment of the boss, and expressed their support. Holding farm tools, they followed Miao Yinshu and opened the door. door.

Not far away, more than a dozen people walked towards them stopping and going, and vaguely saw a familiar figure mixed in the crowd.It seemed that because he saw the door opening here, the figure suddenly turned into the nearby grove, and quickly disappeared into the greenery.

Miao Yinshu's eyes narrowed slightly, wondering if the figure was the person she had guessed, Fei Yunyi, Zhong Qi, and Zhong Yu's father stood in front of her with vigilant expressions, as if facing an enemy Waiting for the group of people to approach.

"Look, they copied the guy and are waiting for us?" Someone in the crowd who came along yelled loudly, "It must be because of a guilty conscience that they are ready to resist!"

You are the ones with a guilty conscience!
Miao Yinshu secretly slandered, but took the initiative to push Fei Yunyi and the others away, wanting to stand up and stand in front.

However, Fei Yunyi was not willing to give in, he had already blocked Miao Yinshu's face because of his long arms that he had practiced for several months, so he would not let her be exposed in front of the people, and whispered: "Yin Shu , if it doesn’t make sense to reason with them later, you can hide behind me and don’t come out, so as not to be accidentally injured!”

"Yes, miss, we will definitely protect you!" Zhong Qi also said immediately that the hired workers held on to the farm tools in their hands in the same hatred, and they were conscious of the big deal.

Ok!Miao Yinshu admits that the feeling of being protected is very good.However, she didn't want to be treated like a sick cat, so she poked her head out from behind Fei Yunyi and stared closely at the neighbors who had already stood in front of them to see what they were trying to do.

"Who is Miao Yinshu? Come out quickly!" The one who spoke was a middle-aged strong man, apparently the leader of the pair, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Miao Yinshu secretly rolled her eyes. Except for herself, all the people on their side are men, okay? Uncle, you have too little eyesight to see.

So, she opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but Fei Yunyi waved his hand at her as if he had eyes behind his back, and quickly took the lead to answer: "May I ask who you are? What's the matter, girl?"

Yes indeed!What are you looking for her for?

Miao Yinshu felt that Fei Yunyi's question was very good.If it is said that she "invented" the water pump and suggested digging a deep well, she is also the "culprit".However, this idea has already been made, should she take it back?

Therefore, she also wanted to know, since a group of people were already arguing with Feng Dexian and the others about digging the well, what was the purpose of this group of people coming to her?

"Don't worry about who we are, it's better to quickly call out Miao Yinshu who is bewitching the public with his rumors, otherwise, don't blame us for not being polite for the sake of old neighbors!" The leader said fiercely .

Will the old neighbor still stage such a show?Miao Yinshu rolled her eyes again, feeling that this ancient man was really unreasonable, and it was really difficult.

"Our young lady doesn't confuse people with gossip, don't spout blood!" Zhong Qi immediately retorted loyally, after reading a little book with Fei Yunyi, he was still very eloquent, "Before, when our young lady first invented the water pump, You have benefited a lot from the village chief's selfless sharing with the villages. Now you are so ungrateful and troublesome to our eldest lady, thanks to the fact that you have the nerve to say that it is for the sake of the old neighbors! "

Uh-huh!Brother Qi Zi, well said!give it a like!
Miao Yinshu nodded secretly, feeling that such a shy young man, who can stand up and speak for his boss in an emergency, is indeed worthy of praise.Moreover, it also shows that the idea of ​​letting him read and write is right. Look at how well he used the two idioms of "spouting blood" and "ungrateful"!

She likes it here, but they are not vegetarians either.

The leader snorted with a sneer and said, "Hmph! I knew that when your village used this water pump to buy people's hearts, it was uneasy and kind, and now it seems to be more confirmed. It turned out that it was an idea. I want to use demonic methods to intercept all the water of the Mother River, and only reserve it for you people in Shilipo. This kind of intention is really terrible! Before we are in a good mood, I advise you to use that The demon girl handed it over to us for disposal, otherwise, if people from all over the world know that there is a witch in your village, I'm afraid everyone in your village will suffer accordingly!"

"Uncle, you keep saying that Miss Miao is a demon girl. Could it be that this year's drought, you also want to force it on Miss Miao ignorantly?" Seeing Fei Yunyi's anger, Jun Yan straightened his face and scolded very seriously, "A month ago, the clan elders in our village realized that this year's weather might be abnormal, and after the discussion, Uncle Feng has informed your villages. I hope everyone can take precautions before they happen. But you rely on yourself to be in the lower reaches, and you don't take the old people's predictions to heart.
