Yan Shu's words not only angered Yan Yao, but also made the villagers of Xinghua Village instantly understand what was right and what was wrong.

"Can the refugees be so pitiful that they become lawless? Should that kid Xiang Yang be severely injured by them?"

"That's right, Yao girl, if Xiangyang were your brother, would you still be able to say such things?"

Wang Cui'e immediately jumped up in anger, pointed at the woman and cursed angrily.

"Li Xiuzhen, who are you cursing?"

The woman who called Li Xiuzhen smiled coldly.

"Hey, I'm just making an analogy and you can't stand it? That boy Xiangyang was almost beaten to death by them. Why should Xiangyang's father and mother forgive them?"

Yan Yao was criticized by everyone, and her fair cheeks suddenly turned red.

Yan Xiangyang had drowned at this time in his previous life, but in this life Yan Xiangyang was only seriously injured. It is said that Yan Shu saved his life in time.

This made Yan Yao feel uneasy, and she gradually discovered that all the changes in this life revolved around Yan Shu.

Yan Shu, who was supposed to betray Jiang Ci and run away in the previous life, not only did not run away in this life, but got along well with her brother-in-law, and even the fate of Yan Ersheng, Yan Wen, and Yan Xiangyang changed as a result.

The reason why she spoke for the refugees today was because she knew that this group of refugees would sack Xinghua Village in a short time, especially since the few people arrested today were the ones who took the lead in making trouble in their previous lives.

This time they remembered their kindness so that their family could be safe before disaster struck.

Yan Yao thought with hatred that everything was originally under her control. If it weren't for what Yan Shu said just now, no one else would point the finger at her.

Yan Fugui glanced at Yan Yao with a cold face.

"Girl Yao, it's a good thing to be kind-hearted, but showing kindness indiscriminately is aiding the evildoers. These refugees should be punished for beating Xiang Yang seriously."

Some villagers echoed: "What the village chief and the fourth girl said makes sense. We can't let them go just because they are pitiful."

Other villagers also began to express their opinions.

Generally speaking, they are on Yan Shu's side and believe that these refugees should be punished.

In the end, Yan Dahu and Yan Fugui took several villagers and turned several refugees to the county government office.

Before leaving, Gazi and the others looked at Yan Shu with hatred in their eyes.

After everyone left, the seventh uncle looked at Yan Shu.

"Fourth girl, come with me."

Yan Shu nodded obediently, wondering what the seventh uncle wanted to talk to her about.

The two of them came to the river at the entrance of the village together.

The seventh uncle stood on the shore, looking at the calm river with a solemn expression.

"Fourth girl, what do you think about the large number of dead fish in the river?"

Yan Shu was a little surprised. Why did the seventh uncle ask her alone about her opinion on this matter?

After pondering for a moment, Yan Shu said truthfully: "In previous years, the weather has gradually turned cooler at the end of August, but this year the temperature has remained high. Moreover, the water level of the river has dropped sharply recently, and the water flow in the mountains has also stopped flowing. The bottom flow has slowed down, causing water The fish there are deprived of oxygen, causing pond overturning.”

Uncle Seven nodded in agreement: "Your analysis is very reasonable. The weather this year is indeed extremely hot. It reminds me of the great famine 50 years ago. The weather back then was also so hot and unbearable for a long time. The rainfall caused the failure of most of the crops in the Sui Dynasty, leading to starvation and death all over the land, and people changing their seeds to eat."

The seventh uncle was still frightened when he recalled the natural disaster that year, and he became more and more worried.

Yan Shu sighed lightly, natural and man-made disasters are the times that test human nature the most.

In the near future, the famine 50 years ago will happen again. According to the description in the book, this disaster will be much more difficult than the last time.

The seventh uncle continued: "I'm worried that this year there will be a natural disaster like the one 50 years ago, or even a disaster more serious than that one. Although there was a famine back then, the late emperor was a wise monarch, and the imperial court devoted the entire treasury to distribute food relief to the people. Most people were able to survive that cold winter, but the situation today is much more severe, with turmoil in the country and border riots. If famine breaks out again, it will be a hell on earth. I can’t imagine it."

Yan Shu looked at the old man in front of him with admiration.

This old man is the most educated person in the Yan family, and he is also the most knowledgeable and thoughtful old man.

The people of Xinghua Village have not yet realized the seriousness of the future, but Uncle Seven has already.

"Seventh Uncle, you are the most senior elder in Xinghua Village. What you say is very important. It is time to remind them to make preparations."

The seventh uncle looked at Yan Shu deeply for a while.

"Fourth girl, you have changed so much. You are like a completely different person from the one you were before to the one you are now."

Yan Shu's heart tightened. He and his original owner had changed too much. An old man like Uncle Seven could easily spot the difference.

The seventh uncle smiled meaningfully.

"But changes are a good thing. You are much smarter and more filial now than before."

Yan Shu smiled and understood what the old man meant.

Neither of them peeled off this layer of window paper.

“I’ve been through so many things in the past few months, and it seems like I’ve suddenly become enlightened.”

-

When Yan Shu returned home, brothers Yan Wen, Yan Wu, and Yan Huai immediately surrounded him.

"Little sister, what did your seventh uncle say to you?"

"Seventh uncle asked about the dead fish in the river."

Yan Wen said: "What does the seventh uncle think?"

"Uncle Seventh thinks it's caused by the weather. The water level in the river has dropped seriously, and there's also a flow cutoff in the upper reaches. If this continues, there will be a water shortage."

When the family heard that they were short of water, their faces became heavy.

"How can we live without food and water? God is trying to push us to a dead end." Liu Wenniang couldn't help complaining.

Suddenly thinking of something, she looked at Yan Shu awkwardly.

"Daughter, I was just talking for a moment and had no intention of slandering you gods."

Yan Shu smiled and said: "Mom, the immortals have a very high level of cultivation and will not get angry just because of a complaint."

"That's good. I'm afraid that if I say the wrong thing, it will affect your ability to survive the calamity. It's better to speak less ill of the gods in the future. I heard that the gods have great magical powers. If a mortal scolds them in his heart, the gods will hear his voice immediately. "

Yan Shu:......

I really complied with that sentence, made up a lie, and had to use countless lies to cover up the lie. I felt so tired!

"Little sister, the water in the river has dropped sharply. Should we build a reservoir?" Yan Huai reminded.

Yan Shu's eyes lit up slightly: "This is a good idea."

Digging a reservoir can store a lot of water. Although it is not a long-term solution, it can solve the draft problem within a month or two.

If the Rong Di Army hadn't attacked, the villagers in Xinghua Village would not have easily fled the famine. She felt that the Rong Di Army would not be able to attack within the past month. During this period, she needed to stock up on some supplies.

After discussing the water storage issue, Yan Wu and Yan Huai were ready to start digging the water reservoir.

Yan Shu and Liu Wenniang processed the two baskets of fish together, salted them and dried them in the sun.

In the evening, Yan Shu was ready to go back.

Liu Wenniang filled half a basket of salted fish and asked Yan Shu to take it back.

"Daughter, there has been some unrest around our village recently. Let your second and third brothers take you back together."

"No need, it's clear sky and the sun is shining brightly, those refugees don't dare to mess around."

What Yan Shu was thinking was that after her second brother and third brother sent her home, they would have to walk at night when they returned to Xinghua Village. That would not be safe.

Liu Wenniang still wanted to persuade Yan Shu, but Yan Shu had already got on the donkey cart.

"Mom, please go back and tell me and my brothers that I will come see you another day."

After saying this, Yan Shu whipped up his whip, and Brother Donkey immediately started to move obediently.

Liu Wenniang frowned, still worried about her daughter going home alone, so she turned around and hurried to the backyard.

The three brothers Yan Wen, Yan Wu, and Yan Huai were working hard to dig the reservoir, and the three of them were sweating profusely as they worked.

"Second child, third child, please stop for a moment."

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Yan Huai wiped the sweat from his face, put down the hoe in his hand and walked to Liu Wenniang.

"Your little sister is gone. I don't trust her to go back alone. The third child, you and the second child will go over and take a look."

Upon hearing that Yan Shu was gone, Yan Wen and Yan Wu also put down their work and walked over.

"Why did my little sister leave without saying hello? It's too unsafe for a girl to leave alone like this."

Yan Wen urged: "Second child, third child, follow us quickly. My younger sister should have just left the village. You can catch up if you walk quickly."

"We're going right now."

Yan Wu and Yan Huai washed their faces and hurriedly chased them out.
