Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Otherwise, we have to say that "old ginger still gets the spiciness".

Thanks to the planning of the old village chief, he tried every means to win over Doctor Qiao and his grandson and get along well with them. He also repeatedly warned the villagers not to take advantage of others just because they were the only two of them on the road. You know, in their line of work, who doesn't have elderly people and children? If someone has a headache or fever, who can guarantee that there is no doctor to treat them and that they can survive smoothly?

The village chief specially reprimanded several troublesome families in the village, and finally suppressed the bad thoughts of some people who were jealous of the doctor's ox cart and were ready to make trouble. They also thought that they had an extra guarantee with the doctor's escort along the way.

But who would have thought that a member of the Lin family would suddenly appear on the way and kidnap the doctor and his grandson in a few seconds.

Just tell me whether it’s infuriating or not?

But that day, he also heard Lin Xiaoyue shouting at Dr. Qiao.

To be honest, if he were in those circumstances, he would also be tempted.

Three meals a day is really tempting, okay?

He paid special attention to the conditions of the Lin family. No matter how he looked at it, they didn't seem as wealthy as the little girl said. At most, they could be considered "car owners."

If we were to pay for three meals a day for Dr. Qiao and his grandchildren, even if we added up all the things in the car, it wouldn't be much.

Therefore, he concluded that the girl was talking nonsense. She first painted a big rosy picture for Dr. Qiao to lure him in, and then she might be able to deliver on her promise.

By then, won’t Dr. Qiao be forced to go back to them in anger?

After all, there were at least hundreds of people in their group, and they were very impressive. If they encountered a few robbers on the way, at least the number of people would be enough to scare them.

Unlike the other side, there were only seven people. One was disabled, and six useless women. Walking on the road, they looked like fat sheep with a sign saying "Come and grab me".

But the village chief waited and waited, and after a few days, Doctor Qiao showed no sign of falling out with the Lin family or returning to their village. On the contrary, it seemed that the two families were getting along even better.

The village chief was puzzled and had a lot of questions to ask, but no one could answer him.

Until just now, Ergouzi came running to him panting and told him that the little girl had made a good thing that could clean up the dirty water.

He thought Ergouzi was suffering from heatstroke again. Why was he talking nonsense in broad daylight?

But when he saw Er Gouzi pour the water from his water bag into a bowl for him to see, and said that it was just poured from the little girl, he could no longer remain calm.

I took a sip of the clean water with a hint of sweetness. It was exactly the same as the water from the deep well in the village. It didn't have any earthy smell and it was no longer yellow. It made people feel happy just by looking at it.

So the old village chief leaned on his crutches and hurriedly called on the villagers to bring water containers, and asked Er Gouzi to help him go over to take a look. If it was true, he would definitely go over to thank the little girl in person.

As a result, after taking a look, it turned out to be exactly as Ergouzi said.

Since the clean water thing is not groundless, let's not worry about whether she is a little girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage. With the ability to make dirty water clear, it is no wonder that Dr. Qiao was won over.

I can't help but admire you.

As for Ergouzi, he kept nagging in his ear, saying that the little girl asked them to fetch water before sunset, and that the bucket and the charcoal inside had to be taken back to the girl.

The village chief had no time to listen to his chatter. He just felt that this boy was very noisy, like a mosquito, buzzing in his ears non-stop.

Haven’t you seen that the old man’s legs are shaking and it’s difficult for him to walk?

If it were someone else, he would have carried the old man away long ago, but this idiot is still keeping on complaining.

The village chief was so angry that he could not contain himself.

Ignoring Ergou, the village chief was so angry that he trembled and followed the villagers.

As a result, the clever little girl didn't see anything, but she saw the villagers arguing over who should get water first. Not only were they arguing so hard that their faces turned red, they almost got into a fight.

A bunch of unruly people... a bunch of unruly people...

The village chief was so angry that his heart ached, but when he saw that it was his own wife who was leading the fight, and several daughters-in-law beside him who were fanning the flames and jumping for joy, he almost suffocated with anger, and rolled his eyes and fell down.

"Stop... Stop it, everyone." The village chief's voice changed with anger, but unfortunately, the people present were rushing to fight and no one paid any attention to him.

Think about it, if you were asked to drink dirty water for more than ten days, and then you were given a glass of clear and clean water, how would you feel?

……

The riverbank was bustling with activity, but the Lin family was unaware of it.

Old Man Lin was busy weaving straw hats, Miao and Xiaocao were busy cooking, and Lin Xiaoyue tricked her sisters aside and forced them to drink Zhengqi water.

None of them could escape Lin Xiaoyue's clutches, and they cried and howled in anxiety. Especially Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, their cries were deafening, and their cries were as miserable as they could be.

Zhengqi water is indeed a daunting existence in any time and space.

It’s true, only those who drink it will know.

Chun Xing, who was busy sorting the water brought back from the riverbank beside her ox cart, looked up and saw the Lin sisters tangled together, shouting and making noises. She thought they were having fun. She quickly stuffed the wooden bucket in her hand into Doctor Qiao's arms, and then left him with an extremely excited back view, and ran towards the Lin sisters, shouting and joining the fun.

Doctor Qiao held the wooden barrel, not knowing whether to throw it away or hold it, and he was shaking with anger.

Oh, another annoying day.

Good weather!

……

The afternoon time passed quickly.

It was not until the evening that the scorching sun, with its heat waves that burned half the sky red, finally gave the creatures on the ground a little breathing room.

The evening meal at the Lin family was almost over. The moment before, Miao was still complaining that Lin Xiaoyue had taken her own wooden barrel and charcoal out and had not taken them back. In the blink of an eye, they saw Ergou, who was in a mess, holding the wooden barrel, and walking towards them with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

When people got closer, they saw scratches on Ergouzi's face.

Chun Xing was a straightforward person. She had been traveling with the villagers for nearly a month and was quite familiar with Ergou. She immediately asked him what happened.

Ergou saw that the Lin family was sitting together to eat, each with a bowl of fragrant rice, and a large plate of vegetable soup in the middle. The color and aroma were so tempting.

He swallowed, not daring to look at it any longer, fearing to embarrass himself. He quickly put down his things, turned around and prepared to run, but his stomach started to act like an empty city stratagem at this moment.
