Chapter 70 No.80
Second watch, finally cashed in, did not do a good job, today is embarrassing %>_<%——
People were excited when they heard that there was water!I couldn't help but lamented Lao Cao's good skills, but Lao Cao still looked like he couldn't wake up, as if the person who was praised just now wasn't him.

Wu Hong clenched his fist with one hand and slammed it into the other, "Great, Nanlu River is only seven or eight miles away from our two villages, even carrying water every day!"

With the water source, people were anxious to go home to look for utensils to hold water. Wu Hong and Lang Yonghai discussed it, because the outside was not peaceful, and several surrounding villages had been occupied by outsiders. It was decided that the people of the two villages would go there together and come back together, so that the safety of the people of the two villages going together would be more assured.

After discussing the travel plan, the people dispersed. Wu Hong personally sent Lang Yonghai out of the village. Before the two villages had a very unhappy fight over the joint shrine, but in the end Wu Hong only asked Lang Yonghai to share the genealogy of Tuli Village. Take it back to the ancestral hall of Wujia Village to enshrine. As for the ancestral tablet, it is still enshrined in the ancestral hall of Tuli Village. One is because he cannot move the ancestral tablet without authorization, disturbing the peace of the ancestors, and the other is because Tuli Village is a big village after all. There is an ancestral hall in the village. If he empties the ancestral hall, he will not even think about merging the two villages. At that time, the conflict between the two villages will become more acute instead of reduced.

So he made such a decision, and sure enough, after he spoke out, Lang Yonghai burst into tears of gratitude, and finally did not lose his ancestors in his generation!At the beginning when he came to beg Wu Hong, he said that he wanted the other party to make any conditions. He was already prepared to live the rest of his life with infamy and guilt. He didn't expect that Old Wu would leave him the ancestral tablet!What is he not grateful for? Although Tuli Village cannot be incorporated into Wujia Village now, from now on, everything in Tuli Village will only be followed by Wujia Village!
It was also for this reason that after learning that the water source in Wujia Village was also polluted, he hurriedly summoned people to Wujia Village to have a look. Now that a solution has been found, the people of the two villages must of course act together.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Qiao Miwei did not dare to blatantly use the water from the Taoyuan, so her family also joined the ranks of fetching water.

Now Father Qiao has to mow the grass outside every day, because the weeds in the wild are growing wildly due to the recent mutation of the sun, and there is a trend of becoming more and more rampant. Qiao Miwei's house is halfway up the mountain, and the ground here is basically empty. Covered by turf, the weeds suddenly grew to half a person's height after being irradiated by the mutated sunlight, and the growth speed was extremely fast. If there were too many weeds, they would attract mosquitoes and flies, and if there were more mosquitoes and flies, their home would be more dangerous, so every day Joe My father would go outside with a sickle to mow the grass.

So the grass near my home has never grown, but these weeds seem to have mutated again recently, and the grass that was cut down the middle has also grown taller, directly growing to the height of a person, and basically two or three One day can grow a crop.

In order not to attract mosquitoes, Mother Qiao dug a lot of mugwort in the wild, dried them, lit them every day and placed them in every corner of the house to repel mosquitoes.

Sun Ying saw that Qiao's father would go out every day, so he also took a sickle to replace Qiao's father, but was stopped by Qiao's father, he was afraid that Sun Ying would be accidentally bitten by a mosquito, so he would not be able to explain to his dead sister up.

It's just that Sun Ying didn't listen to the persuasion. He was a young man after all, and he felt that he should have done these jobs. Father Qiao couldn't hold back Sun Ying, so he had to give the job to him, and he went to the field to weed.

Father Qiao piled the cut grass together, and within a few days, he built a big pile. After being exposed to the sun, it turned into dry firewood. Burning, after the army saw it, they also followed suit and cut all the grass in their area for firewood.

After breakfast this morning, Qiao Miwei rolled out a broken bicycle and parked it in the yard, tied two [-]-jin empty buckets to the back seat of the car with thick hemp ropes, then turned around and shouted while holding onto the handlebars , "Mom, I'm leaving."

Mother Qiao walked to the door and glanced at Qiao Miwei, seeing that she was tightly covered, she said, "Let's go, don't make Wu Dongwei wait too long, be careful on the way, and save some water."

Qiao Miwei pushed the car out the door, and did not forget to turn her head and talk to Qiao's mother, "Got it, you go back, don't pick me up at the entrance of the village today, the villagers of Shuanghekou Village went very early every day these two days , and the buckets are getting bigger and bigger, every time I have to wait for a long time, I guess today is later than yesterday, so don't pick me up."

Mother Qiao nodded, "Okay, if you don't pick it up, I'll pick it up at the foot of the mountain. You can't push it up by yourself."

"Just let my brother pick me up. I'll talk to him when I get out later." Qiao Miwei stepped on the crossbeam, stepped on the pedals, and waved at Qiao's mother, "Go back quickly, don't let the sun shine on."

"Don't look for your brother. I guess he has to mow the grass in the backyard today. I'll tell him later, ride slowly. Your father hasn't fixed the brake yet." Mother Qiao babbled again worriedly.

"Understood." Qiao Mi exerted force on his feet, and the car slid downhill, and the pronunciation of the last word had been pulled to the foot of the mountain.

The bike Qiao Miwei was riding was sent by Wu Dongwei a few days ago. This kind of bicycle is the earliest model, a large black bicycle with a beam in front. It is the first time for Qiao Miwei to ride such a bicycle, and this bicycle has already It is very old, the brakes are still not very sensitive after repairs, the rims are also a little bent, and various parts are in a semi-strike state.

But even so, Qiao Miwei is also very satisfied with this car, because their family only has four-wheelers, and it is not worth driving to fetch water, and they don't waste so much oil. Bicycles are environmentally friendly and convenient, and fetching water back and forth is just right. Appropriate, she tensed up all over her body, and carefully rode her bicycle to the door of the village chief's house. Almost everyone in the village had arrived, small carts, bicycles, unicycles... all kinds of convenient tools were loaded with various water containers. utensils.

When everyone arrived, Wu Dongwei, the leader of the team, got on his bicycle first and headed for Hedajing on the South Road. The distance of seven or eight miles was not too far, and everyone walked quickly with empty buckets. They arrived in less than 10 minutes. destination.

From a distance, many people could be seen queuing up to fetch water. Qiao Mi squinted slightly, and there seemed to be more people than yesterday. They parked their cars aside, unloaded empty buckets and spontaneously lined up at the back of the line.

Slowly the sun came into the sky, the scorching sun scorched the earth, and the roasted people were extremely thirsty. Qiao Miwei took off the small water bottle from her body and unscrewed the cap to take a sip of water. She took two sips of tea, screwed on the bottle cap, and carried the small kettle on her back. She still had a few persimmons on her body, which she could take out to quench her thirst when the water ran out. Everyone else was also prepared. It was a countermeasure that I had to make when I was roasted two days ago.

For an hour or two hours, the front line did not move forward, and almost no one left. The crowd gradually became agitated, and someone shouted loudly, "Can the front get water? If you don't get water, let's go to the other side. I've been waiting here for half a day."

What he said was correct, but because of the growing anger from the sun and the delay in moving ahead, his tone smelled of gunpowder, and this sentence directly shouted out the aspirations of the people behind the team. After a while, everyone echoed loudly, "That's right, isn't it just fetching water? You can still drink enough water here all the time? Hurry up and fetch water to make way."

"Get out of the way, it's been two hours, why is the barrel not full, why are you so ink-stained?"

"Yeah, what are we doing ahead? Whether we can fetch water or not, we can go forward if we don't."

The villagers of Shuanghe Village were angry when they heard the yelling behind them. The well in the Nanlu River was built by their village, and the water here was also from their Shuanghe Village. So overbearing, what’s wrong with asking them to wait for a while, even if they don’t give them water, that’s what they should do, so the grumpy one replied, “If you want to be beaten, you can go back if you don’t want to be beaten, and if you want to be beaten, you can wait for me.” Come on, the buckets in our Shuanghe Village haven’t been filled yet, so there’s no place for you outsiders.”

A villager in Liuhe Village said, "What do you mean if you want to hit or not? This water belongs to your family? It belongs to the state. You have no right to control the well!"

The villagers of Shuanghe Village took a deep breath, "It was returned to the country. Our village paid for this well. Without our village's money and effort, the water is still wading underground. You drilled one. This well is our Shuanghe Village. Yes, seeing how pitifully you have been pumping water for you for two days, why, what do you want to occupy the well?"

The people in Wujia Village were annoyed when they heard this, and shouted, "Who wants to occupy the well? You are a thief calling for a thief. There are only a few people in your village to fetch water. We have queued here for two hours, and you haven't done it yet." Let’s talk about it, don’t say that this well belongs to the state. Even if it belongs to your village, you have no right to prevent us from fetching water. If you have the ability, you can set up a charging point next to it and see who will pay you. .”

A guy from Shuanghe Village slapped the water bottle in his hand, turned around and pointed at the person who had just spoken in Wujia Village, "Who do you think is a thief calling for a thief? Shame on you, how do you know that you have to queue behind us when you come to fetch water? I don’t know in my heart that this well belongs to our village, and now I’m quibbling again, I’m sorry, I just think this pot of water is not good-looking, I’m going to pour it up again, if you have patience, wait slowly, If you can't wait, get out early, who begged you to come here to fetch water?"

The person who had just spoken in Wujiacun was immediately angry, and he was about to fight with his arms, but he was stopped by Wu Dongwei, and he said in a low voice, "Brother, don't get stiff, let's bear with it and beat today's water." Let’s talk about it when we come out, he’s still talking about it for a while, let’s go up and cut him.”

The person caught by Wu Dongwei gasped for a few breaths before suppressing his anger, slammed on the ground, turned around and returned to the team, Wu Dongwei was relieved to see that the people in his village had been persuaded, yes The people in Shuanghe Village said, "Brother, we are all neighbors from ten miles and eight towns. Now that everyone has suffered a disaster, we should understand and support each other and help each other. Everyone is a little angry because of the sun, and they speak a little bit. You Don't mind, fetch water, we'll fetch after you finish, and we'll wait behind."
