Dressed as a cute kid with a farm: Pick up a brother to farm

After the adult and the child had their fill, they did not go to harvest the vegetables right away, but went out with the wooden barrel.

It's both going out to fetch water and taking a walk.

Of course, the most important goal is still walking.

Take a hundred steps after a meal to stay healthy and live longer.

Meng Huaishao carried a backpack on his back, held Ye Yaoyao's hand with his left hand, and held an empty bucket in his right hand, and walked slowly towards the ancient well.

We also saw patrolling villagers on the road. The number of people in today's patrol team was obviously much smaller than before.

In addition to the people from Xiaofeng Village, Youliang Village and Anmu Village, there were also lightly injured people from Xiaoshan Village who took turns to form teams.

As for Sheung Shui Village?

Their village suffered the heaviest casualties. There have been white flags all over the village in the past few days, and even more people were injured, so they really couldn't spare any manpower.

Even the daily water was delivered by men from the other three villages.

Adversity sees the truth.

In this drought-stricken year, they encountered banditry and disaster, but ultimately escaped death, which can be regarded as a new life.

When their fates are connected and intersected, a magical effect will occur, and the small mountain village is the bond that binds them together.

Before they knew it, the people from these five villages had become as close as one.

-

The chief of the small mountain village went to the yamen early in the morning.

It was such a big event, but I didn’t go that day. It can be said that I was unable to attend due to my serious injury.

Then, unless you can't get up, you have to go no matter what.

Moreover, the messenger who delivered the message also said that Captain Jiang, the captain of the county's garrison, had specifically instructed him to go.

The village chief then realized that Jiang Yongchang had really gone back to report.

He took everyone away directly, not because he wanted to take all the credit, but because they were in such a miserable situation...

Just help directly. The conditions do not allow it, so Jiang Yongchang simply takes the bandits away so that they can handle their own affairs.

The most important thing is that this group of bandits have committed many evil deeds and have long been on the wanted list.

This time the whole army was wiped out in the small mountain village, but there was a lot of silver reward!

The exact amount has not been announced yet. The county government said that it would report it to the court and wait for the court to allocate the reward money.

Although Niu Youcai didn't know how much the reward was, he walked with a light step.

In his decades of life, this was the first time he was praised by the county magistrate, and the first time he enjoyed the honor of sitting in the hall.

Niu Youcai feels that with this day, his whole life is worth it!

And this honor was earned by the whole village with hard work!

Therefore, even though he had spent the entire day in the county government office and it was already dark when he returned, he still hurried to the homes of several clan elders and told them about the matter.

By the way, he also showed the cart of food and water he brought back.

The soldiers arrived in a hurry that day and had no idea there was water in the village.

Niu Youcai and Shangshui Village also had a tacit understanding to keep the news a secret.

So, when the county magistrate rewarded him with food and water, he accepted it with tears of gratitude.

That's a true expression of love, deep as the sea...

Well, who can't act?

When he thought of those people on the road who were thin and dry due to long-term hunger and thirst, how could he not act it out?

Let’s put these people in their shoes. When they are in dire straits, they are suddenly blessed with a cartload of food and water. Wouldn’t they be excited?

Anyway, Niu Youcai didn't care about his reputation anymore and burst into tears in the court.

Then, they happily brought back the food and water.

The water from the ancient well in the village can now only supply these five villages and is barely enough for daily drinking.

The cart of reward given by the county magistrate was not much, but it was not less either.

After discussing with the elders, Niu Youcai decided to distribute the water to the villagers tomorrow morning.

Each family may not get much, but this is a common honor, earned by the blood and tears of the whole village. No matter what, they have to have a taste of it.

As for the cart of grain, it was first stored in the village’s public warehouse.

The quantity is not too much, but it is all white rice. Find a cellar to store it, and you can eat it together when you hold an event in the future.

At the same time, I also plan to save a bag and make white rice porridge for everyone in the next few days.

"Today is a good day~"

“Whatever you dream of can come true~”[Note 1]

The out-of-tune song rang out everywhere on the ridges and paths at night.

Everyone in the village knows that the village chief is in a very good mood today.

They couldn't remember how long it had been since the village chief had been so happy.

If the village chief is happy, then it probably means something good is happening in the village!

As I was thinking about it, someone opened the door and shouted loudly.

"Village Chief, what good thing happened to you today? Why are you so happy?"

"Hey! You'll know tomorrow!"

The village chief waved his hand and was not prepared to reveal the news in advance.

"Don't go too far tomorrow. I'll ask Kang Xiao and Kang Yi to inform you of the meeting time!"

After saying that, the village chief quickened his pace and walked away.

His face was frozen from smiling, and he was afraid that he would be grabbed in a moment, so he couldn't help but let out the good news.

This leak doesn't matter, but everyone who heard it will be unable to sleep at night.

As for the matter of being too excited to sleep, just let him bear it alone!

Meng Huaishao and Ye Yaoyao hid in the grass, adding water while watching the village chief who was pulling up grass, kicking stones, and laughing at the sky, his face full of worry.

"Village chief, grandpa, Fengfeng?"

Ye Yaoyao looked at Meng Huaishao in confusion.

If the village chief goes crazy, will the village still be okay? Can they change the village chief? Is the new village chief easy to get along with?

Xiaoqing next to it turned her head along with Ye Yaoyao and stared at it with her big vertical pupils.

However, Meng Huaishao, who was already familiar with Ye Xiaoqing's style, was no longer afraid.

He didn't know how he had acquired this ability, but he could see clear stupidity in those cold vertical pupils.

"what!"

Meng Huaishao held his forehead helplessly and patiently explained to Yiwa Yi Chong: "The village chief is just happy. Get some sleep and you'll be fine tomorrow."

In fact, the village chief is not like this usually.

Mostly because it was dark and there was no one around, so I let myself go.

Meng Huaishao couldn't help but hug Ye Yaoyao and buried his body in the haystack again, fearing that he would be discovered by the village chief.

When we found out, everyone was quite embarrassed.

The village chief, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth, jumped around the ancient well, then walked forward, took out a bunch of copper keys, unlocked a few copper locks, and then pushed open the well cover.

He lay down beside the well and looked inside. The water level had partially recovered, and he felt even happier.

"What a good ancestor of our Niujia Village! He has recovered one third of the area so quickly!"

He looked at it curiously for a few times, then covered the manhole cover again and locked it.

In order to reduce the probability of discovering abnormal water levels in the ancient well, he specially found several iron chains and nailed them around the well cover.

After fetching water every day, the door is locked in the afternoon and no one is allowed to come in at night!
