The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 914

[Chapter 914 Drought (2)]

The blue sky has no cloud, and the fiery sun burns the earth. There was not a single pedestrian on the road, only the trees stood listlessly where they were. It wasn’t until the sun went down that someone walked out slowly.

The elder sister-in-law of the Wang family stood in front of Yu Xiyu with a gourd and whispered, “Brother and sister, there is no water at home, please give us some water to drink!” It has not rained for nearly two months, and drinking water is a problem in many places. The same is true here in Wangjia Village, where drinking water is difficult. Fortunately, there is an old well in Wangjia Village, and water can still be drawn now. However, because there is not much water, it can only be used for daily drinking by the villagers. As for the livestock at home, you can only deal with it yourself.

Yu Xiyu said apologetically, “Sister-in-law, I’ve also finished drinking the water I received today, so there’s no more.” In fact, there is still a big pot of water at home, but she won’t give it to Tang Shi.

Seeing that Xixi refused to give, Tang Shi said angrily, “Brother and sister, don’t you just ask you to mix some water for me? It’s not to kill you, so why be so stingy?”

Yu Xiyu said coldly: “Sister-in-law, don’t you know what season it is? Not to mention that my house is out of water, even if there is water, I have to prepare it for the pier.” justice. The only headache is this Tang Syndrome, who is particularly domineering and likes to take advantage. And she always wanted to use her sister-in-law’s status to crush her. Fortunately, Yu Xiyu is not a weak person, otherwise I don’t know what it would be like to be bullied.

Tang Shi was very annoyed and said, “It’s just to let you drink some water for my house, not to kill you. If you come from a big family, I think it’s a poor family.” Knowing that Wang Ershi died in battle, Tang Shi received a pension. I made up my mind. It’s a pity that I haven’t even seen the shadow of Yin Zi after several months of planning. Therefore, Tang Shi complained a lot about Xiyu.

At the beginning, Yu Xiyu was good at fighting with people, but now she has adapted: “Sister-in-law’s words are strange, now this water is not life. You want my water, but you want my life with Dunzi. Duanzi is Ershi’s only heir, how could you, a auntie, be so ruthless, thinking of forcing your nephew to die?” When he said this, he deliberately amplified his voice.

Dunzi ran out of the house, looked at Mrs. Tang and shouted, “Don’t bully my mother.” While shouting, Mrs. Tang was pushed out the door.

To this auntie, Dunzi is extremely disgusted. Every time I come, there will be something less at home.

Just as Yu Xiyu was about to stop her, she saw Tang shove Dunzi to the ground, and Dunzi fell with all four of his feet upside down.

When Yu Xiyu saw that Tang Shi dared to do something to her son, she couldn’t be more polite. He rushed up and pushed Tang Shi to the ground, pinching the tender meat, the pain was so painful that Tang Shi was dying.

Soon, someone walked in and pulled the person away. Yu Xiyu cried and told the whole story: “It’s okay to bully our orphans and widows in the past. But now in this situation, water is life, and she wants to take away the water from our house because she wants to kill us. Orphans and widow mothers. Anyway, they can’t live anymore, and the big deal is that they die together.” In the countryside, they use the country’s methods to solve the problem.

Yu Xiyu is not only tanned now, but her behavior is no different from that of an ordinary peasant woman. Not to mention Yan Wushuang, even the Yu family would not recognize her.

Dunzi saw her mother cry and cried too loudly.

The cries of mother and son attracted more villagers to watch, and finally even the chief was alarmed.

When the rior knew what was going on, he not only scolded Tang Shi, but Tang Shi’s husband was also scolded like a dog-headed Lin Xue. In the end, Tang Shi walked back home with her husband in despair.

Dunzi hugged Yu Xiyu, wiped her tears and said, “Mother, when I grow up, I won’t let others bully you again.”

When Yu Xiyu heard this, her tears became more and more fierce: “Good boy, if you say this, my mother will be content.” She had a way to kill the Tang family, but considering that she had not yet gained a firm foothold when she arrived at Wangjiacun, so She didn’t dare to act rashly, and she only used patience with Tang’s bad behavior. If Tang Shi didn’t come to make trouble this time, it would be fine for the mother and son. If she didn’t give up, she would not be merciful.

The situation in Wangjia Village is just a microcosm of the entire northwest. It has been drought for almost two months, and many places have problems with water. In some places, it is necessary to run several miles away to fetch water. The only good thing is that the law and order is very good now, and there will be no robbery and theft.

In troubled times, the government has put up notices, whether it is a serious crime like robbery or an act of stealing chickens and dogs, as long as they are caught, they will be executed on the spot without going through the county court’s trial once it is confirmed. Since the notice was posted, fifteen people have been executed in two villages near Wangjia Village. People are cherishing their lives, and they don’t dare to change their minds when they see this situation.

The two places with the worst drought were Yanzhou and Linzhou. Yunqing had already gone to Linzhou to appease the people. However, this lack of water is not the same as lack of food. There are warehouses for lack of grain that can be called, but now there is a shortage of water everywhere, and no water can be adjusted.

Looking at Yuxi’s gloomy face, Han Jianming said, “Yuxi, worrying about this matter is useless.”

Oak Xi shook his head and said, “Thanks to all the preparations I made before, I thought it would be perfect. I didn’t expect it to happen, only to realize that what I had done before was just a drop in the bucket.” Looking at the quotations presented by various places, Oak Xi felt that he thought too much. Naive. No matter how much preparation you have, you will be helpless in the face of a drought.

Han Jianming felt that Yuxi’s idea was unacceptable, and said: “There are also droughts in Henan and Shanxi. However, more than 80,000 people have died in Henan in more than a month, and more than 60,000 people have died in Shanxi. Only more than 300 people died. Yuxi, this is all because of your preparations in advance.” The more than 300 people who died in the northwest were all old, weak, sick and disabled, who could not survive the sweltering heat.

Oak-hee didn’t relax because of Han Jianming’s words: “Brother, the question now is how long this drought will last? It’s already mid-August, and if it doesn’t rain, more and more people will die. A lot.” If it was just now, Oak-hee wouldn’t be so worried.

Han Jianming said: “We are human beings, not gods, and we have no ability to call for wind and rain. All we can do is to minimize losses.” In fact, Han Jianming said that the current situation in the northwest is already very rare. Without Oak Xi, the situation in the Northwest would have been worse than in Henan and Shanxi. After all, the northwest is a barren land, and there is a serious shortage of water.

Oak-hee was reviewing the papers every day, and seeing the tragic situation below caused negative emotions, and just released the negative emotions just now. Soon, Yuxi calmed down: “Big brother, it’s been two months of drought now, and I’m worried that there will be a plague of locusts.” After almost two months of drought, the food in the fields could hardly be recovered. The most terrifying thing about the locust is that it eats everything, and it does not let go of flowers, plants and trees. If there is a locust plague, the northwest will really become a barren land. If this is the case, it will take at least two or three years for the Northwest to restore its pre-disaster state.

Han Jianming said: “I have checked a lot of information during this time, but I have not found an effective way to prevent and control the locust plague.”

Yuxi also found a lot of information herself, and also asked Mammy Quan and Doctor He, and even asked Han Ji to ask those who had experienced the locust plague. Unfortunately, no useful method has been found.

At this time, Xu Wu said outside: “Wangfu, Doctor Bai has written a letter for Cui Mo to send it to you.” Doctor Bai has been staying in Yucheng and was unwilling to come to Haocheng.

Yu Xi asked, “What did Doctor Bai say in the letter?” Since hearing Yun Qing said that someone had poisoned the letter paper before, Yu Xi was no longer willing to open the letter by himself. From this, you can see how much Oak Hee cherished her life.

After reading it, Xu Wu said: “Doctor Bai said in the letter that locusts like to live in warm and dry places, so he guessed that the arid environment should be very beneficial to their breeding and growth. Otherwise, the locust plague could not only be caused by drought. appears in severe cases.”

After Oak-hee finished listening, she took the letter and read it again. After reading it, Oak-hee said, “If that’s the case, I can’t stop it if I want to.” Because this is simply not something that can be done by human beings.

It has been dry for almost two months now, and the fields, meadows, and dry lakes are all warm and dry places. And these places have now become hotbeds for the growth of locusts.

Han Jianming said: “Since we know that these places are places where locusts lay eggs and breed, we will do our best to kill them. In such a hot day, if the ground is renovated, it should be able to kill them all.” I can’t stand it all day, I believe these locusts are the same.

Oak Xi whispered, “That’s the only way.” There was no better way. It can only be used in the simplest and most clumsy way.

Han Jianming comforted Yuxi and said, “Yuxi, it’s a miracle that the Northwest has the current situation. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.” bitter.

In front of Han Jianming, Yuxi didn’t hide her emotions, and said, “I’m not trying to put pressure on myself, I just want to do more when I look at those papers, so that the people below will suffer less.”

Han Jianming said with a smile: “It’s true that you are a bodhisattva. But you have to take good care of your body, even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about a few children. If you have something, six What can the child do?”

Oak-hee nodded slightly.

After dinner, Zaozao licked his face and said to Yuxi, “Mother, I also want to move to the Green Bamboo Courtyard.” The Green Bamboo Courtyard is much cooler than his sister’s yard.

Because the weather is too hot, Zao Zao now only practices in the morning and evening, and at other times reads and reads with her husband.

Yuxi nodded and asked Liu’er, “Do you want Liu’er to move in together?” There are enough rooms in the Green Bamboo Courtyard, and if Zao Zao and Liu’er moved in, they could each get a room. But certainly not as spacious as Liu’er lived.

After two months of drought, most of the bamboos in other places have dried up. However, the bamboos in the Green Bamboo Garden are watered every morning and evening, so they are still green.

Liu’er shook her head and said, “No.” Although the Green Bamboo Courtyard was cooler, it wasn’t as comfortable as living in her own courtyard.

Zaozao took the opportunity to give her opinion again: “Mother, I won’t go to read with my husband in the future, and I will stay in the yard to take care of my younger brothers.” After taking care of the younger brothers, there is no need to read and read.

Yuxi said with a blank face, “Your brother and the others have Lan’s mother and they take care of them, so they don’t need your care.” Zao Zaoxu was seven years old, and Yuxi would not be willing to appease her.

Zao Zao looked at Yu Xi with a bad face, and stopped talking about this topic wisely.
