The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Outside, five or six oxcarts carrying water were rumbling by, and there were also many men carrying water along the way, making the scene quite lively.

"Grandpa, where is the crop field where we water it? Is it far away?"

"Most of them are in the north of the village, about ten acres, not far away, about five or six miles away. There are also five or six acres in the west, about three or four miles away."

"Five or six miles is not far, it's three kilometers. How can we irrigate so many acres? Isn't there a pond or water over there?"

"Are you stupid, girl? If there's water in the pond over there, why do you have to run to the river to get it?"

First meeting... Uh, it's really a silly question.

"As you can see here, there are rocky mountains behind us and a river in front of us. It's either sandy or gravelly. Once the water comes, everything will be flooded. It's not suitable for growing crops at all. The little land at the north end was acquired from the neighboring village with great difficulty in the past decade or so."

"Then your place is not suitable for living at all. Why did you choose such a place to live? The uncle said that there are falling rocks in the east. It's too dangerous. Can't you move to some other place?"

When a place is designated as a dangerous area, the state should intervene to mediate and allow people to move to safer places.

"It's not as serious as you say. In previous years, if the water level was stable, the North Head Pond would not dry up, irrigation would not be a problem, and the sandy land would have some harvest. It's just that this year there was both flood and drought. I'm old, and this is the first time I've encountered a year with one season of freezing, one season of famine, one season of flooding, and one season of drought. Families with little food and money are almost running out of money. If there is no harvest of this crop, I don't know how many people will starve to death." The old doctor said and went back into the house.

When I first saw it, I never expected that with such advanced modern technology, there are still places where life is so difficult. Agriculture is backward and people rely entirely on the weather for food. This Yangshu Village is really too backward.

Aunt and Dazhu didn't come back until almost evening, dragging a lot of things, a full ox cart, mostly rice and flour of various qualities. They moved everything into the house swiftly.

"Auntie, my wife can't cook, so I want you to come here and cook every day. Uncle and Dazhu can also eat here."

"How can we do this?" The aunt wiped her hands on her clothes. Their family was indeed running out of food, but they couldn't take advantage of others like this. Moreover, she could see that this girl was a delicate eater, and people like them couldn't eat with her. "No, no."

"Then how about this, Auntie? I'll give you food, whatever you want, and you can come over every day to help with cooking and clean up the place. Is that okay?"

The aunt was still very hesitant, she felt that even so she was still taking advantage.

"Auntie, I really don't know how to cook. You saw it yesterday. I can't even light a fire. If you don't help, we won't even be able to drink porridge and will have to eat raw rice." Chu Jian walked up to her, grabbed her arm, and started to act coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I agree. Girl, I'll go cook now. Tell your aunt what you want to eat."

"Auntie, I'm not picky about food, everything is good! Make more, you guys are tired today, we can all eat together tonight!"

At night, Li Daqiang's family left with a bag of coarse rice noodles. Gangzi in the next room also woke up, and his family was busy taking him away.

After the old doctor finished his work, he came over and told Jing Muyang to have a good rest. The formal treatment would begin tomorrow. The process would be a bit difficult, so he should be mentally prepared.

After Chu Jian poured water for Jing Muyang, he took a comfortable bath and put on his newly bought clothes.

"Mu Yang, does it look good?" Chu Jian turned around. The light pink suit that the aunt bought for her was very playful.

"It looks good." Jing Muyang smiled. "I'll take you to choose one in a few days."

"Mu Yang, are we really going to stay here for a month?"

"The old doctor said that detoxification and recovery will take at least this long, so we can't be impatient."

"Then I'll ask Auntie to take me to the market town tomorrow to make a phone call. After you stabilize yourself, we'll return to Beijing, or we can ask them to pick you up. The hospital is well-equipped and will be more conducive to your treatment. Besides, I'm about to start school."

"Don't go to the market town. I'm worried about you being alone. Besides, I asked Dazhu to take the message out during the day. Someone will come to pick us up soon."

“Okay.” Chu Jian thought about it. Jing Muyang had to detoxify tomorrow, and she was worried about leaving him alone. And since he had already asked someone to contact him, it would be the same no matter who came to pick him up.

Chu Jian took off her coat and climbed onto the bed. The bed in the doctor's house was much bigger, so they didn't have to squeeze together. She lay quietly at the innermost side, some distance away from Jing Muyang.

Jing Muyang blew out the light and lay down quietly.

It was still early, and without TV or cell phone, the night seemed a little long. Especially after the previous two nights, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Nice meeting." Jing Muyang broke the silence.

"Yeah." Chu Jian responded softly.

"If something unexpected happens during the treatment, don't go back to Beijing alone. Just wait here and someone will come to pick you up."

"What are you talking about? Don't say unlucky things! The old man should be confident that everything will be fine. No matter what, we will go back to Beijing together." Chu Jian tilted his head to comfort him.

"Going back by plane?" Jing Muyang asked with a smile.

"Probably not. I haven't heard there is an airport in Yinzhou."

"Do you fly often? Describe to me what it's like?"

"Take a plane? The main thing about planes is that they are fast. It only takes two hours at most to get from here to the capital. As for the feeling, some people get motion sickness, but the clouds on the plane are really beautiful, one cloud after another, layer upon layer, like a cotton castle, especially when the plane flies above the clouds. The sea of ​​clouds, with the golden edge of the sun, is super shocking, simply invincible! Mu Yang, I will take you to take a plane when the time comes." She described to him with golden eyes.

"Okay." Jing Muyang felt a little sour in his heart. When he first saw Zeng You above the clouds, she was indeed a fairy from outer space.

"Mu Yang, there is something I want to say."

"what's up?"

"You spent a lot of money today, twenty taels of silver is nine thousand yuan! And you only get this little thing in return, it's really not worth it."

"Twenty taels of silver can be exchanged for a cartload of grain, which is several hundred kilograms. It's worth it. Besides eating the grain ourselves, the rest will be distributed to the villagers, which should allow them to live in peace until the harvest."

"I thought you would do this. And Auntie, you must have stayed here on purpose. I can actually cook, and I'm pretty good at it."

"You can cook? Can you make yourself look ugly by cooking?" Jing Muyang laughed.

"That's because I don't know how to light a fire. We don't need to burn firewood to cook. We can just use electricity or natural gas. It's very convenient."

Jing Muyang was silent. Natural gas was something he didn't understand. He couldn't even imagine what kind of fairyland this was when he first met him.

"First meeting, if there were no things you said, just like now, do you think you could live?"

"Yes, it's just like in ancient times. What's so difficult about it?"

"That's good." Jing Muyang seemed to relax a little.
