Chapter 83 Filling the Well 2
But Miao Yinshu saw that Feng Dexian had nothing to do with the current out-of-control state, so she could only pace back and forth anxiously scratching her ears and cheeks, she couldn't stand it anymore and asked Fei Yunyi in a low voice: "Your family's Xiao Shishi What? Why didn't you see anyone else?"

With Xiao Shishi on his way, these villagers who only know how to use brute force will naturally be separated soon.

"Master said that he will accompany Yan Zhi to buy some things in the afternoon, so he will probably come back very late!" Zhong He helped to solve the confusion.

It turned out that Xiao Yanzhi was very good material for practicing martial arts quickly. Although Xiao Shishi had no choice but to accept that apprentice at first, after a few days of contact, he really fell in love with that kid.So, after the martial arts training this morning, he promised Xiao Yanzhi that when Fei Yunyi's martial arts class was over, he would go to his house and take him to buy some necessary items for the family.

"What a coincidence!" Miao Yinshu muttered to himself, but he didn't understand why Feng Laosan took the lead in filling the well, so he couldn't figure out the ins and outs of the matter.The suggestion from Shuijing was put forward by himself, so Miao Yinshu could only bite the bullet and decide that it was more important to solve the matter first.

So, he raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Fathers and folks, don't be impulsive, everyone be quiet, and explain the matter clearly! Such a brawl can't solve the problem!"

Wuwu spoke at the top of her throat, on such a dry and hot day, her throat was about to burst into smoke.

"What's there to say, we just want to fill the well!" Feng Laosan responded loudly in the crowd.

"Third Uncle, you have to tell us why you want to fill the well!" Feng Xiaohong scanned the crowd, and felt relieved when she saw that her parents were not among the radical crowd, and immediately helped Miao Yinshu to speak.

"That's right! If you don't make it clear, you just say you need to fill the well. Of course, everyone can't understand it, so they won't give in to each other! If you make it clear and what you say makes sense, maybe everyone can help you fill it together." !" Miao Yinshu could only use the tactics of maintaining stability.

When Feng Dexian heard Miao Yinshu's words, he was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look at her suspiciously, then seeing Miao Yinshu winking at him, he immediately picked up Lingzi and said, "That's right, that's right, If you have a good reason and it is beneficial to everyone, everyone will definitely not just confront you like this! Folks, you all calm down and listen carefully to what the third child means!"

Seeing that the head of the village had said so, everyone finally settled down, but there were still several villagers guarding the side of the well, in case Feng Laosan and his gang were going to smash the pig iron cover of the water pump again, which was their responsibility. Lifeblood, it must not be destroyed.

After everyone quieted down, Feng Laosan saw that Feng Dexian was listening to his explanation seriously, coughed a few times immediately, then straightened his messy clothes and said, "Brother, didn't you hear that in the county town Did something come out?"

Feng Lao San is a side branch of the old Feng family. Although they have been related for more than three generations, they are still old relatives. It is correct to call Feng Dexian a big brother.

"What are you talking about?" Feng Dexian was stunned for a moment, looked at Fei Yunyi and then at Miao Yinshu, both of them shook their heads inexplicably, waiting quietly for Feng Laosan's next words.

"I went to the county town early this morning to go to the market, and I heard many people in the county talking about the fact that the imperial court has allocated food and money for disaster relief, which will be distributed to various villages in the near future. However, because our Shilipo Although the output of rice is lower than the normal year, there is still rice after all, so the food and money that the imperial court said for disaster relief will not have our share in Shilipo!" Feng Laosan said angrily, while hating He gave Miao Yinshu a hateful look.

The meaning in those eyes was to secretly blame Miao Yinshu for being troublesome, and to propose something about digging a well, which made them work hard and didn't even get disaster relief funds.

"Our village is also a disaster-stricken village, why can't we get help!" Feng Laosan's words immediately resonated with most people.

Their idea is very simple. If they had known that the imperial court would allocate food and money so quickly, they should have waited for help at home. Why waste so much time digging wells and farming!Everyone has a lazy mind, and everyone wants to get something for nothing.

Miao Yinshu was sweating when she heard the words, she didn't know what to say, she could only see how Feng Dexian answered.

"Let's not say that I haven't received a notification from the town that the food for disaster relief has arrived in our county, or that our Shilipo is not within the scope of this disaster relief. Just for the food for disaster relief, I would like to ask Tell me, everyone, how much food do you think the imperial court can allocate? How long will it save us?" Feng Dexian's eyes did not show the look of contempt for everyone, but a kind of heartbroken emotion, "Or, Everyone thinks it’s better to earn something easily than to create something that belongs to you by yourself? Or do you think it’s natural to get something for nothing?”

"This..." Some thin-skinned people blushed slightly, and secretly lowered their heads.

But Feng Laosan was still unconvinced and said: "If it was a normal day, of course everyone would still work hard in exchange for harvest. But Mr. Lichang, you probably have forgotten that the ownership of our paddy fields is not our own, even if it is No matter how hard we work in this paddy field that is about to dry up for a year, in the end, we still have to hand over the rent to Mr. Zhou’s family. And in such a dry weather, the rice output must be very little, so hard work After so many months, in the end we don’t keep a single grain of rice, so we might as well take the imperial court’s bailout with shame!”

"Yes! What the third child said makes sense!" The villagers who tended to agree with Feng Laosan immediately agreed.

Rich Zhou!

Miao Yinshu's heart moved slightly, and she couldn't help but look at Fei Yunyi, who was also turning to look at her, it seemed that the two wanted to go together.

"Uncle Feng San is indeed right!" Seeing that Feng Dexian was stunned by what he said, Miao Yinshu immediately interjected, "However, I personally think that these things are not as important as life!"

"Life is of course important!" Feng Laosan didn't know what Miao Yinshu wanted to express, so he could only answer in this way, but then said, "It's just that since the imperial court has allocated food for disaster relief, then we Of course they won't die of hunger."

"Can't you die from hunger? Maybe!" Miao Yinshu said with a faint smile, "However, have you ever heard that death from thirst is faster than death from starvation?"

"Heh..." Everyone gasped, not knowing what Miao Yinshu meant by that.

"Although I read about it in an unofficial history book, I don't think everyone wants to try this horrible experience!" Miao Yinshu glanced at the crowd and continued, "It says in the book that if a person doesn't drink water, You may die of thirst in three to five days. But if you don’t eat, as long as you have water to drink, you may be skinny, but at least you can last for ten days and a half months, or you can last for a month if you have more perseverance. Come month!
Of course, these are also idle books that I read when I have nothing to do. I haven't done experiments in this area myself, so I don't know much about the specific situation.After all, ants still steal their lives, and I am living well so naturally I won't make fun of my own life.

And if you want to try it out, you can fill up the well right now.Anyway, the water in the mother river has dried up, and if the wells are filled, the rice will dry up and die immediately, so Uncle Feng can go to the county town to ask the county master to come to the disaster relief.As for whether you still have water to cook or not, it depends on your good fortune, and pray to see if God can rain heavily before you are about to die of thirst! "

After saying this, Miao Yinshu never looked at Feng Laosan and the others again, and only said to Fei Yunyi: "Yunyi, I have something to discuss with you, let's go to my house first!"

What she said has already reached this point, whether they still want to save effort and wait for the court to provide disaster relief depends on their own wishes.

Feng Dexian saw that Miao Yinshu's method of retreating into advance stunned Feng Laosan and the others for a moment, he nodded secretly approvingly, and added formally: "You guys dug this well together at the beginning. If you think it’s really okay to fill it up, then you can fill it up! However, I also said that these wells were paid for by my nephew’s silver. In the case of water shortage, you have to find Master Yang and the others to dig the well again. Then, whichever of your family contributes the most to fill the well, you will pay the money! You don’t come to report to me! Oh, that’s right , A well at that time cost 30 taels of silver!"

After saying this, Feng Dexian also left with his hands behind his back, following Miao Yinshu and the others.

Leaving a group of villagers, you look at me and I look at you, but no one speaks.

Those who have a conscience, and those villagers who are also opposed to filling the well, sneered and said in a low voice: "Mr. Fei and Ms. Miao are not from the village, but in order for us to escape this drought, a person who came out The idea of ​​digging a well to build a water pump, one of them helped us pay off the money for digging the well. But some people are still ungrateful and insist on sending some moths out. I want to see if there are starving and thirsty people in the village. He is satisfied after the phenomenon or something!"

After finishing speaking, the people who led his own family also left. At the end, he left a sentence: "Anyway, if I go back on my word and dig the well again, my family will not pay a penny!"

"That's right! We won't leave our house either! Let's die of thirst, why do we have such ignorant neighbors!" Another person also looked heartbroken, and shook his head and sighed without arguing with Feng Laosan and the others. Angrily leave.

When everyone in the village had almost left, Feng Laosan and his group were also stunned, staring at each other, counting the heads, there were only eight people.And there are more than 20 wells along the river in the village, each of which costs 30 taels of silver, which means six to seven hundred taels of snowflake silver.When the time comes, there will really be a shortage of water, how can they spend so much money to hire someone to dig a well?

After thinking about it, another three or four people left with their heads down.

Feng Laosan saw that the situation was not right, so he said to himself: "It's too hot today, I'm dizzy, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Then, he left in a despondent manner with his tail between his legs, and the rest of them followed suit.

Not far away, behind a half-dead tree, a man looked at Feng Laosan and his cowards, and spat on the ground bitterly. After checking left and right, he also quickly leave.

Miao Yinshu returned home and let Jiaoxue go back to the stable by herself, then brought Fei Yunyi into the backyard.

Looking at the panax notoginseng and ginseng in the courtyard, Miao Yinshu hesitated whether to reveal the secret of space to Fei Yunyi, but Fei Yunyi had already asked, "Yinshu, have you encountered any embarrassing things? ? Or did you hurt your heart because of everyone's nonsense just now?"

"Everyone has their own destiny, and everyone's thoughts are different, and I never feel that others should follow my way of thinking, so no matter what their decision is, it won't hurt my heart. "Everyone has the right to choose their own path, Miao Yinshu really didn't take Feng Laosan's actions to heart.

"However, this matter must have something to do with the Zhou family. They are taking advantage of the fire to provoke the relationship between our village!" Fei Yunyi believed that no one would want to cut off his family's existence for no reason.
