Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
Chapter 11 The sensation throughout the village
Father Luo and the four of them hurriedly walked over with two bamboo tubes filled with water.
The nursing master said: "This is Steward Zhou, tell him."
Father Luo thanked the nurse master, bowed their hands to Steward Zhou, and said, "I have met Steward Zhou.
" Short, with a beard in the face field, and a gleam in his eyes when looking at people, he asked: "Who is in charge of you?"
Luo father took a step forward: "Luo is in charge of this matter."
Luo's father said at the moment It was the official language, not the rural dialect, which made Servant Zhou look at him high.
“You want to exchange water for food?” Steward Zhou asked, pointing to the bamboo tube in Father Luo's hand.
Father Luo understood, and handed the bamboo tube to Servant Zhou: "Yes, our village is running out of food. The villagers collected water and wanted to exchange food with their master. "Servant Zhou picked up the bamboo tube, took a sip, and smiled half
smiling He said: "Come? The smell of soil in the water must have just been dug up. "
Servant Zhou returned the bamboo tube to Luo's father, and said straight to the point: "Sister Luo, my brother doesn't come with you, our master loves your water, our Lord loves your water, as long as you take us to the water source, our Master will allow you two bags of grain, all of which are high quality white rice and white noodles. Father Luo's heart was pounding, and the appetite of the Zhou family master this time
very large, trying to swallow their water source.
Luo father shook his head: "To be honest with Servant Zhou, this water is related to the lives of everyone in our village, so I dare not take it out just like that. If Servant Zhou was not interested, Luo would ask the other master. "Then he turned and left
.
Seeing that they were unable to reach an agreement, Servant Zhou dared not urge the victims to rush over. Afraid of causing a disaster, he hurriedly stopped Luo's father, and changed his words: "Sister Luo, don't worry, my brother just asked this question, there's no other intent. , Our master said that he was willing to exchange food with you for water."
The four Luo fathers stopped when they heard those words, turned to look at Servant Zhou, and asked, "How did you change that? Let's talk first, we don't want to change it because there's too little food. .
" Fearing that he would miss this rare opportunity to replace the water, he gritted his teeth and said, "One jar of water, ten catties of fine grains." In spite of
the water jar was smaller than the water tank, the water was precious now, and one water jar was enough to exchange ten catties of refined grains.
Father Luo did not want refined grains: "One urn of water contains 20 catties of coarse grains. In addition to food, we also had to give us half a salt catties and ten jars of water. Our water is limited, so we can give you four jars of water at most."
They don't want refined grains, only grains can survive, and there are more coarse grains, so you can eat them for a long time.
Steward Zhou frowned when he heard that they were asking for salt, but thinking of his master's explanation, he had no choice but to agree: "OK, just change it like this." His master
it said that the water had to be replaced to prevent the water from being destroyed by Fucheng. Other wealthy households were robbed.
The matter of food exchange was already resolved, and they could also get salt and a jug of water.The four Luo fathers were very happy.
Zhou's servants ordered his servants to bring four urns of water, ten jugs of water, 80 catties of coarse grain, and half a catties of salt, to the table, He personally brought ten nursing homes and followed Father Luo into the dark night.
Father Luo was cautious, and when he reached the mountain pass, he asked Servant Zhou and the nurses to stop. The four of them carried the water jars and walked up the mountain, looking back as they walked to make sure no one followed them, and then they felt relieved.
The four Luo fathers came back and told everyone about the success of the food exchange, everyone was very happy.
The third grandfather hurriedly asked everyone to put the filtered water into the water jar and take it out in exchange for food.
Everyone moves very fast. After a quarter of an hour, four water jars filled up. Two people carried one, and eight people carried four urns of water into the mountain pass.
It took a lot of time to go back and forth, and the sky had already dimmed. The waiter Zhou waited impatiently. When he saw the torch and some figures, he hurriedly led the guards to meet him: "Sister Luo, you can count that, let big brother This wait a long time."
Father Luo laughed and said, "Still far away, it takes a bit of work, butler Zhou saw, the four urns of water are all clean."
Zhou's maid asked the nursing home to hold a torch for lighting, and she saw water from one urn to another. He took water from each urn and drank a few sips. Ask the Nurse Academy to hand over eighty catties of coarse grains, half a catty of salt and ten jars of water to Father Luo.
Eight of Luo's fathers took it, and said: "Our deal is done, Servant Zhou, please come back."
Father Luo was worried that Servant Zhou would send the nursing home to follow them, so he let Servant Zhou and the others go. First.
Housekeeper Zhou had replaced the water, made a major contribution, and happily left with water from the treatment site and four jugs of water.
Father Luo watched them go far away, and rushed to the mountain with seven others, food, and a jug of water.
The third grandfather asked the big men to pile up all the water and food, as well as a bag of precious salt, and said to everyone who was excited: "Let's divide the water and the food!"
As for jugs, water bags, and bamboo tubes, these belong to each family, and each family fills them with water and takes them back.
Salt is divided into five parts, and each family gets one part.
Eighty catties of coarse grain were not weighed, so an old way was used to distribute them bowl after bowl.After the grain was divided, each family packed them in sacks.
Gu Jinli was afraid that his family's food and water could not be stored, so he suggested to Gu Dashan: "Dad, let's grab some food, salt, salt, and the two jars of water that we brought to third grandfather's house for safekeeping, and take back, I'm afraid the milk will be robbed."
Gu Dashan hesitated after hearing Gu Jinli's proposal, for fear of offending Master Gu.
The third grandmother scolded her: "You must be devoted to your sixth son and nothing will stop you, but you cannot starve your son and daughter-in-law to death. Just leave your things in my house, and the old lady will take care of you. If Madame Pan is not satisfied, let her come to the old woman." Let's say. "
Gu Dashan was scolded, recalling Xiaoyu's wounds asking for food and Cui's beating, he fell silent and did not mind anymore.
Gu Jinli and Gu Jinan hurriedly moved food, salt, and water to the third grandmother.
The third grandfather looked at the already bright sky, and said to the big guys: "Da Shan and Tie Zhu will go with me and tell the village chief about the water source." They had enough water and
exchange food, and now they can let the villagers come to fetch water.
No one objected to those big guys, they started packing their things, following the third grandfather and the others, wrapping food and water with thatch, he said, and move it back to their resting place.
...
Bang bang bang!
The sky was already bright, and the villages gathered together with the beating of the bells and drums.
The village of Gu family had already finished counting the names, but they did not hear that the third grandfather and his family were supposed to be.The head of the village had a very ugly face.
The old Gu family members were arrogant and dared to be late, the Gu Dashan family would definitely be beaten by the village.
Madam Zheng suffered a loss at the hands of Gu Jinli yesterday. After returning home at night, Brother Zhi had no idea what was going on. She kept crying in pain in her hands and crying all night. He shouted: "Village head, the village rules don't wait for anyone, come quickly, maybe Gu Dashan's family did too many bad things and died in some corner of the mountain."
It cried and shouted: "Kill the family of that lowly girl, the whole family of that lowly girl deserves to die, woo woo woo..."
His hands hurt, it hurt.
“Sixth, how do you teach children?” The angry voice of third grandfather suddenly came, looked at old man Gu in the middle of the crowd and said: “Sister Zhi is very cruel at a young age, you know, Xiaoyu saved our entire village alive."
The people from the Gu family village heard those words and looked at the third grandfather, wondering what he meant by this?
The third grandfather came to Village Chief Gu and whispered a few words to him. Village Chief Gu was very surprised: "What the third brother said is true? Did that girl Xiaoyu find the source of the water?" The third grandfather directly asked Gu
Dashan to bring the water jug Give it to the village chief.
"Sister, look at yourself. This is the water that our five families dug up last night. Clearly," said the third grandfather in a low voice, afraid that the disaster victims nearby would hear.
Village chief Gu picked up the water jug with trembling hands, and drank a few sips of water from the mouth of the jug The water smelled of earth, but the water was clear: "We are saved." "Sister, there's not much water in that hole
ask the villagers to get some water, then the water seeps out." The third grandfather reminded.
“Ya, yes, third brother is right.” Village chief Gu hurriedly told everyone that Gu Xiaoyu had found the source of the water, and asked everyone to fetch some water.
In short, it instantly caused a sensation in the entire village of the Gu family.
The old Gu family was even more confused.
Madam Zheng shouted: "What? Woman******gu Xiaoyu found the water source? Does he have that life?!"
