The koi of fast crossing are busy farming with their cubs

Chapter 301 The Control Group of the Escaped Heroine (16)

"Head, there are all refugees near the official road, and the bark and turf around them have been picked up and chewed raw for drinking. Except for the Luo River, there is no sign of water at all!"

"Some villages are afraid to wait any longer. Before the water comes, the food will die due to drought. Therefore, many people are distressed to collect the food. If they can keep a little bit..."

Everyone felt very heavy. The drought had lasted for more than half a year. The sky was cloudless and there was no sign of rain.If food cannot be grown this year, the whole country will face severe famine next year!

"They all go to the river to scoop up water and settle it, boil it and drink it.

People can go hungry for two or three meals, but they cannot lack water!

The situation is serious now, and everyone can no longer be picky," Brother Qi forced the big guy to scoop water.

The big guy knew that he was right, so he could only dawdle with his things to scoop up water.

When it was completely dark, Zhu Kaiyan and the others trotted over on horseback.

"Girl, mother, Yiyi, look!" After getting off the horse, Zhu Kaiyan strode to the mule cart, suppressed his excitement and jumped on it, then took out the things in his arms, and said in a low voice.

"What is this?" The old lady Zhu and Zhu Jiayi are sick these days, except for going to the toilet, they can go outside for a while while eating in the morning and evening.

Suffocated, the little old lady wants some excitement in life.She couldn't wait to take the things over.

This is a thick bamboo, the length of the arm is short, before the old lady asked, the big guy heard the sound of water swaying in the bamboo tube, it was crisp and sweet, and it sounded like heaven to them on such a hot night!

"Well, is there really water in this bamboo?" Both the old lady Zhu and mother Zhu were amazed.

Zhu Kaiyan nodded with a smile: "My sister is right. There is water stored in bamboo, which tastes sweet and delicious, with some bamboo fragrance! We cut a lot, and they are all stored in bamboo. easily broken.

After a short rest, let's call some more people to go and chop more bamboo. "

After that, he took out another bag of things and handed it over.

"What is this?" The old lady Zhu took it first and opened it curiously.

Inside the furoshiki were five plump and colorful bamboo chickens and more than 20 eggs!

"I knocked them out," Zhu Kaiyan explained: "Although there is no water source near the bamboo forest, the bamboo grows well, and there are some small animals that are unwilling to move away, which is cheaper for us."

Zhu Jiayi's eyes moved, and she said with a smile: "Second Brother, do we have bamboo shoots?

They can eat whatever they want, and maybe they can lay eggs for us. "

"It's fine if you like it," said the whole family without any objection.

"When I have time later, I will weave a few more cages for you, spread hay on them, and hang them firmly on the handlebars. This will not take up space, and will not scare bamboo chickens, so they can continue to lay eggs after they get used to it!"

Zhu Kaiyan patted her on the head, as if everything is up to you and you are extremely talkative.

Zhu Jiayi smiled and said nothing, the main reason is that the locusts are coming soon, bamboo chickens will not be short of food, and because of the high protein intake, the eggs are frequent and large, and even double yolk eggs can appear.

From Zhu Kaiyan's point of view, the girl's happiness is very simple, and he is also happy to spoil her, secretly thinking about catching more bamboo chickens for her to drink soup and eat meat to replenish her body.

If there are too many, they can be marinated and dried, and eaten every now and then.

Cutting bamboo shoots is the most labor-intensive. Most of the bamboos that store water are strong and strong. They need to be chopped many times with knives, and finally they have to be broken with feet!Not every bamboo can store water, and the condition of each section of the same bamboo is not the same.

Zhu Kaiyan sent all the water storage bamboos for himself and Zhu Kai Yongde to the old lady for a look, and let the women make arrangements.

And they couldn't wait to make an appointment with someone to continue hunting for treasure in the bamboo forest.

While Zhu's mother turned a blind eye, Zhu Jiayi secretly collected a lot of bamboo for water storage in case she didn't need it.

Because of the existence of the bamboo forest, they stayed here for an extra two days.

At night, when it was as dark as ink, they set off and came back to send them off twice, until the sky was slightly bright.

Bamboo tubes took up any free space in Zhu's carriage.

Looking at so many bamboo tubes, the family members are very satisfied.

They continued to drive towards the town on horseback, and when they arrived at the station, everyone cleaned themselves up from the inside out.

Pack them up and continue to resupply in the city!
A few days ago, there were refugees around, and they might riot and rush up at any time, especially because they had to stay up as night owls in order to have a water source that would not be discovered by others.

It was rare for Seventh Brother to realize that he set off an hour later than usual after letting everyone recharge their batteries.

Every time they leave a town, many beggars take envelopes and go to various restaurants and teahouses containing storytellers.

There are many novel little stories in the envelope, including how to face various natural disasters and man-made disasters wisely and correctly.

This relaxed mode is easy to accept, and it is much better than the official announcement of the Eight Classics!

The water problem has been solved for the time being, and the big guy is used to the speed of traveling every day, so he feels that time passes quickly, but he still feels sad and unbearable when he sees more and more refugees on the side of the road.

After Zhu Jiayi got up this day, her right eye kept jumping.

She pursed her lips slightly, opened the curtain and looked out the window.

The sky is still cloudless, blue and beautiful, but the temperature is so high that eggs can be hatched!
Zhu Jiayi doesn't think that for a person with koi attributes, it doesn't mean that the eyelids keep twitching all the time.

She squinted her eyes slightly, concentrating on perception.

The wind carried a warm and suffocating breath on the face and skin of the person.

No, her eyes widened slightly. Although she didn't see or hear any signs of locusts, there was a unique aura in the air, which clearly came from the locusts!
Zhu Jiayi subconsciously turned her head to look for Xiang Weizi, and sure enough, the latter had already started preparing things quietly.

When the other party was in the town, he had already ordered his father and brother to buy a lot of sacks, cotton rope, salt, oil, aniseed and so on.

The drought in every place is becoming more and more severe, and many towns have closed their gates to prevent the influx of refugees, which means that those who have customs clearance documents can go unimpeded.

At noon, Zhu Jiayi finally saw a dark cloud drifting over very quickly.

Not only her, but other people, including another wave of refugees who detoured, also noticed it.

It's just that those people jumped up happily, hugged and cried excitedly, "It's cloudy, the clouds are coming up, it's going to rain!"

The shout of joy was gradually overwhelmed by another hum.

"What, what sound?"
