Accidents happen suddenly.

Look, in just half a month, the crops in the fields slowly withered.

Although it's not particularly outrageous, the green seedlings have become dry and yellow, and even their heads are drooping.

Only the roots can absorb a little bit of nutrients.

Farmers familiar with farming only need to take one look to know that nothing can be done.

The soft paddy fields also began to dry up, leaving only puddles of water the size of a fingernail.

Seeing the farmers getting anxious and sighing every day, they sat in the yard.

Villagers in Xiaoqiao Village also found that the water source in the village was getting smaller and smaller.

In the past, when women washed clothes by the river, the water was so fast and frightening that they needed to be very careful, otherwise a big wave might come at any time and wet their trouser legs.

So everyone was extra cautious when washing clothes and didn't dare to go any deeper.

But now, even if you squat on the shore to wash clothes, you have to bend your body again and again, otherwise you can't reach the water.

So as soon as they noticed the change, everyone tacitly added more water to their own large water tanks, for fear that they would not even have enough water to drink later.

Everyone in the village gathered by the river and lined up to fetch water, and many of them were muttering.

One of the women had a sallow complexion, as if she had not eaten for some time.

Some people saw this and were wondering.

"Aunt He, I saw your Yunxiang and Uncle He bought a lot of food some time ago. Why do you look like you haven't eaten enough? You look like you're about to faint standing here!"

Aunt He sighed, "No matter how much food there is, there will be a day when it will all be eaten up. Don't we have to eat sparingly?"

"You young people should not take it lightly. You should save what you should save. You don't know how long these hard times will last..."

After hearing this, the people around fell into deep thought and felt that what Aunt He said made sense.

Even if everyone had stockpiled food before, to be honest, the food was not enough to last a lifetime.

Moreover, the days without food have just begun. When the crops in the fields die completely one day, they may not have a harvest for several years and will really not be able to eat fresh food.

Can't we be more frugal?

.........

Swallow Village.

Wang Shuhui looked at the rice in the rice jar and felt a little worried. The town had been in unrest during this period, and the people in the village didn't react much when they found out about it.

Especially the boss, he just said that there was a special granary in the village and there was enough food.

Tell her not to worry and just do it with courage!

But as news from outside kept coming in, Wang Shuhui still felt uneasy.

There are many people in the village and they can eat a lot. With dozens of strong men eating one bite at a time, the rice in the rice jar will be empty in two days.

Moreover, this rice jar is as tall as a person.

If this continues, Wang Shuhui feels that there’s no need to wait for a famine to come. The appetite of the people in the village alone will be enough to starve them to death!

Before she recovered from her worry, everyone rushed in upon smelling the delicious food, and hurriedly crowded around the pot to serve their own meals.

They were used to coming over to grab food at mealtime. Wang Shuhui's cooking skills really made this group of rough guys obedient!

A group of people held their bowls and praised, "Second sister-in-law's cooking skills are getting better and better!"

"Yes!"

"I wish I had the blessing of my second brother!"

"You haven't woken up yet, where are you going to find a wife?"

"Hahaha!"

"What are you laughing at......"

While everyone was arguing, the second brother walked in with a bowl and a gentle look on his face. He first filled half a bowl with rice, and then put a lot of dishes into the bowl.

Half a bowl of rice and half a bowl of vegetables, a full bowl, and then carefully handed it to Wang Shuhui, not forgetting to remind her, "Be careful, it's hot."

Everyone was so upset.

The second brother filled his wife's bowl with food before rushing into the crowd of men to get his own meal. As for Qi Shiyi...

Forget it, the boss is not as important as the wife. I should focus on my wife.

At first, everyone was making eyes at the boss and Wang Shuhui, the girl he rescued, and they kept thinking that they should be a couple.

I didn't expect that in just half a month, my second brother and Miss Wang had made amazing progress!

In the blink of an eye, he married someone else!

When this news came out, everyone was amazed.

The second elder brother is really doing great things quietly. He usually practices calligraphy in the yard quietly. Unexpectedly, he becomes the second one in their village to get married!

Look how greedy these guys are.

After that, I never dared to say anything nonsense in front of Wang Shuhui, otherwise I would be beaten to death by my second brother.

Seeing her husband's considerate look, Wang Shuhui couldn't help but blush.

Everyone in the kitchen saw what happened just now. She felt so embarrassed that she glared at him shyly, then took the meal and went back to her room to eat.

The second son, who had prepared the meal, was left to look for a wife.

........

Half a month ago, Wang Shuhui came to Yanzizhai just to have a place to stay.

She felt that although the people in the village were bandits, they were not as vicious and evil as her brother described.

On the contrary, they are straightforward, cute and very loyal.

I thought I was just trying to make a living in the village, but I didn't expect...

Recalling that some time ago, she just wanted to go into the woods to pick some mushrooms, but she almost died from the attack of a giant snake!

If the second in command hadn't come to my rescue in time, I would have been trapped there...

The second brother's martial arts skills are actually not the best among everyone, especially compared with Qi Shiyi, it is simply horrible.

His main role in the village is that of a military strategist. He has a sharp mind and is the one who makes plans for many things.

So even though his handwriting looked like chicken claws, Qi Shiyi didn't bother to care about his meager interests and hobbies.

Pens, ink, paper and inkstone all cost money, but just for this military advisor, I'll just spend money on it.

We can only let him be happy.

That day he heard from his subordinates that the new cook had gone into the woods and had not returned for a long time, so he thought of going to check it out.

When she was just found, a ferocious snake as thick as a tree trunk was about to bite Wang Shuhui. It also tried to wrap its tail around the girl who was trembling with fear and had a pale face.

This was the first time that the second brother encountered this situation. He didn’t know why he felt so angry at the time, and felt that he would not be a man if he didn’t stand up at this time!

In fact, thinking back on it, if it had been someone else in the situation of danger at that time, he would have definitely turned around and ran away immediately without even looking back!

But it was this woman...

Looking at the girl lying on the ground, and thinking about the time they had spent together day and night, an indescribable emotion passed through his heart, prompting him to have the fearless courage for the first time in his life!
