I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Lizheng snorted and said, "Xiaobei went to the mountains to fetch water and encountered leopards, tigers, buffaloes and wild boars... Don't tell her mother..."

The next second, he started snoring.

The headman's wife was startled and looked at Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin was mending Ji Xiaobei's clothes and seemed unaware of this.

She went out and found Aunt Song and told her.

Aunt Song's eyes immediately turned red and she said, "I don't know when the village well will be able to supply water. These four buckets of water should be enough for us today!"

The next moment, she rushed out of the cave, waving her arms and shouting:

"Water can't be used carelessly. It can only be used for cooking. The rest can be saved for dinner. So what are you doing staring at the bucket and spitting?

When Auntie serves the porridge later, I’ll give you a full portion…”

The boy licked his dry lips and left.

Aunt Song told Second Madam Ji, and Second Madam Ji told her husband.

Soon, everyone in the village knew that this water was obtained by Ji Xiaobei with his life.

When people passed by Aunt Song, they deliberately turned their heads away and didn't look at the bucket.

In the end, the truth was kept secret only from Ji Xiaobei’s family.

Aunt Song, Aunt Ji and other women cooked the porridge.

Medium consistency, which is ok.

At first, Aunt Song put a large pot of water and only two bowls of rice in it.

Ji Xiaobei gave her three more bowls.

"Auntie, please put more food in. People are hungry and haven't eaten for a long time!" said Ji Xiaobei.

"Put more water, people are thirsty too!"

Aunt Song waited until Ji Xiaobei turned around, then secretly added another bucket of water.

The children and the elderly were served first, and Aunt Song deliberately scooped out some rice grains.

There were not enough bowls, so after the children finished eating, Ji Xiaobei asked the women to eat next.

The women all stepped back. The men hadn't eaten yet, so how could it be their turn?

Ji Xiaobei had no choice but to serve it to the men who went to clean the well.

Each person had a bowl, and the porridge in the pot was completely gone.

The Ji family sat together drinking porridge.

Mrs. Lin glanced and asked, "What about Heita's child? We can't stop him from eating just because he eats a lot!"

Ji Xiaobei thought: ...He went to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks! He didn't eat our porridge.

She leaned back and let Fu Jichang explain.

I didn't expect that I used too much force and almost fell backwards to the ground.

Fu Jichang reached out and gently pushed her on the back.

Ji Xiaobei sat up straight and rolled his eyes at him: You are so quick, did you know I would fall?

The little movements of the two people were seen clearly by Mrs. Lin, and she actually grinned.

"Hahahaha, Tana's kid will definitely not starve himself. When he comes back, I'll give him some dry food, hehehe..."

Everyone else was slurping their porridge, and no one noticed Mrs. Lin's unusually excited expression.

Fu Jichang looked at Ji Xiaobei in surprise. Ji Xiaobei was also concentrating on drinking porridge.

Never mind, the Black Tower isn’t important. He won’t starve anyway.

He also joined the ranks of slurping porridge.

Ji Xiaobei took out a piece of naan from his sleeve, broke it into small pieces, and threw it into the bowls of Mrs. Lin and the others.

No one asks where it comes from, and it's useless to ask.

It’s better to just eat it obediently!

"Uh...uh...uh..." Ji Decai outside the cave called weakly.

Decai was hungry and thirsty. Woohoo, I was bullied into this state, and my Debiao was gone...

Ji Xiaobei picked up the bowl and walked towards it, secretly took out a big pear and stuffed it into its mouth.

Woo wow, delicious!

After eating two in a row, its fear was relieved.

Ji Xiaobei looked at the forest worriedly: I don’t know where Ma Debiao has gone. It is carrying so much food. If someone finds it, that person will definitely become rich.

Oh, let’s leave it to fate!

I don’t know whether it returned to the village.

After lunch, people were sleepy and tired, so they lay down in the grass and fell asleep.

Ji Lizheng hasn't woken up yet.

Fu Jichang took a nap and vaguely heard the sounds of loud gongs and drums, shouting and fighting in the distance.

Wei County’s bandit suppression team moved quickly indeed.

Heita went there with the documents from the Anzhou Tongpan, and the county magistrate was already frightened out of his wits.

Organize the county's guard team and send them down to suppress the bandits.

The county magistrate wondered how the judge knew that the people of Wei County were being harassed by bandits?

He also knew that the bandits in Wei County were called the Huzi Army, and they were a united force with the Huzi near Anzhou.

He also knew that there were four leaders in the Beard Army, three of whom had been killed, and the last one was still left.

He also knew...

The county magistrate was trembling with fear, it was terrible...

Over the years, I have been threatened by the Hu Zi army and have done many shameful things.

I am also forced to do so...

No, we have to go to the villages that were hit hardest by the disaster.

In addition, Heita had already reported the situation to the governor of Anzhou as quickly as possible.

Half an hour later, Ji Lizheng woke up and went to clean the well with ten people in high spirits.

Fu Jichang, Shitou, Haixia, Shugen and others went to the village.

Ji Xiaobei took advantage of Lin Po's nap and slipped out to find Ma Debiao.

She walked past the village of Jijiawan and saw many soldiers with bandages on their legs.

Seeing Ji Xiaobei coming over, he held up a big knife and shouted loudly, blocking her way.

Ji Xiaobei explained the situation, saying that he was a villager and had come out to look for the donkey because he couldn't find it.

The two soldiers looked at the tall and strong Ji Xiaobei and couldn't help but take two steps back.

Didn’t they say that the villagers here are almost running out of food?

How could there be such a strong man or woman!

One of the soldiers did not dare to be careless and stepped forward to grab Ji Xiaobei and wanted to take her to see the captain.

"Why are you touching me?" Ji Xiaobei elbowed him.

The poor soldier was thrown into the weeds on the side of the road by the huge force.

The other soldier took two steps back in fear...

The soldier got up covered in dust and was about to call for help when he saw a man walking towards him.

"She is indeed from the village, and she came out to look for a donkey..."

The soldier looked at the thin Fu Jichang with a dusty face and nodded.

This man has a gentle look and is really thin, so there should be no problem.

"I just saw him in the village. The captain also saw him..."

The two soldiers whispered to each other and released Ji Xiaobei.

"I'm going to find Ma Debiao~!" Ji Xiaobei said and was about to leave.

"The Black Tower is already there!"

Fu Jichang's voice echoed lightly in the air, and Ji Xiaobei had already left the village.

Fu Jichang spread his hands helplessly: Why do you always walk in a hurry, not like a woman at all...

I walked all the way to the small road north of Cishui Town, but there was no sign of Ma Debiao.

Instead, he was interrogated by the soldiers.

Ji Xiaobei looked at the deep forest in the distance. It was here that he first met Ma Debiao.

This is also where we parted ways with it last time.

She felt sorry for the food, and even more sorry for Ma Debiao.

Suddenly, she heard a sound of earth-shaking in the distance.

earthquake?

Ji Xiaobei subconsciously covered his head and ran towards an open space.

No, no...

The scene seems familiar...
