Chapter 11: Sensation in the whole village

Chapter 11 Sensation in the Village

Luo and his father and four others hurriedly walked over with two bamboo tubes of water.

The nursing master said: "This is Butler Zhou, tell him."

The four Luo fathers thanked the nursing master, bowed their hands to Butler Zhou, and said, "I have met Butler Zhou."

Steward Zhou is in his early forties, slightly short in stature, with a goatee on his square face. There is a glint in his eyes when he looks at people, and he asks: "Which one of you is in charge?"

Luo's father took a step forward and said, "Luo is responsible for this matter."

Luo's father spoke Mandarin at this time, not the country dialect, which made Butler Zhou give him a high look.

"You want to exchange water for food?" Butler Zhou asked, pointing to the bamboo tube in Luo's father's hand.

Luo's father understood and handed the bamboo tube to Butler Zhou: "Yes, our village is out of food. The villagers collected some water and wanted to exchange some food with the gentlemen."

Steward Zhou took the bamboo tube, took a sip, and said with a half-smile, "Minato? The earthy smell in the water must have been freshly dug out."

Butler Zhou returned the bamboo tube to Luo's father and said straight to the point: "Brother Luo, I don't want to come with you for nothing. Our master is interested in your water. As long as you take us to the water source, our master will promise you both." Bags of grain, which are all high-quality white rice and flour."

Father Luo's heart skipped a beat. Mr. Zhou's appetite was really big this time. He wanted to swallow their water supply.

Luo's father shook his head: "To be honest with Butler Zhou, this water is related to the lives of everyone in our village, so we don't dare to let it out casually. If Butler Zhou is not interested, Luo will ask other masters."

Speaking, he turned around and left.

When Butler Zhou couldn't reach an agreement, he didn't dare to push the victims into a hurry. For fear of causing trouble, he hurriedly called Luo's father and changed his words: "Brother Luo, don't be anxious. This is just what I asked, there is no other meaning." , our master has said that he is willing to trade food with you for water."

Hearing this, Father Luo and the others stopped, turned to look at Butler Zhou, and asked, "How do we change the food? Let's agree first, the food is too little and we won't change it."

Steward Zhou knew that Father Luo had a hard temper and was afraid of missing this rare opportunity to change the water. He gritted his teeth and said, "One jar of water, ten kilograms of fine grain."

Although the water urn is smaller than the water jar, water is precious nowadays. One weng of water is enough to exchange for ten kilograms of fine grain.

Luos father didnt want fine grains: Twenty kilograms of coarse grains for one jar of water. In addition to the grains, we also have to give us half a kilogram of salt and ten water jars. Our water is limited, and we can give you four jars of water at most.

They dont want fine grains, only grains that can survive. If there are more coarse grains, they can eat them for a long time.

Steward Zhou frowned when he heard they asked for salt, but thinking of the master's instructions, he had no choice but to comply: "Okay, let's change it like this."

His master said that the water must be replaced to prevent it from being robbed by other wealthy households in the city.

The matter of exchanging food was settled, and they could also get salt and water jars. Luo and his father were very happy.

Steward Zhou ordered his servants to bring four water urns and ten water jars, plus eighty kilograms of coarse grains and half a kilogram of salt. He personally took the ten guards with him and followed Luo's father and four others into the night.

Luo's father was cautious and asked Butler Zhou and the nursing staff to stop when they reached the mountain pass. Each of the four of them carried a water jar and walked up the mountain. They looked back as they walked to make sure no one was following them before they felt relieved.

The four Luo fathers came back and told everyone about the success of the food exchange. Everyone was very happy.

Grandpa San hurriedly asked everyone to put the filtered water into water jars and take it out to exchange for food.

Everyone moved very quickly. Within a quarter of an hour, four water jars were filled. Two people carried one, and eight people carried four water jars towards the mountain pass.

It took a lot of time to go back and forth, and the sky was already bright. Butler Zhou was waiting impatiently. When he saw torches and a few figures, he hurriedly led the nurse to greet them: "Brother Luo, you are here, let me Good to wait.

Luo's father chuckled and said, "It's a long way and it took some effort. Butler Zhou took a look and found that the water in the four jars was clean."

Housekeeper Zhou asked the nurse to hold a torch for lighting, and he looked at the water in one water jar after another. He scooped out the water from each water jar and took a few sips. After seeing that there was only an earthy smell and no strange smell, he felt refreshed. Ask the nurse to hand over eighty kilograms of coarse grains, half a kilogram of salt and ten water jars to Father Luo.

The eight Luo fathers took it and said, "Our business is over. Butler Zhou, please come back."

Luo's father was worried that Butler Zhou would send a nurse to follow them, so he asked Butler Zhou and others to leave first.

Steward Zhou had already changed the water and had done a great job. He happily left with the water in the courtyard and four water jars.

After Luo's father watched them go away, he took the remaining seven people, food and water jars and hurried towards the mountains. When they returned to the mountains, Gu Jinli and the others filtered out a lot of clean water. Everyone worked together to fill ten water jars and all the water jars, bamboo tubes, and water bladders with water.

The third grandpa asked everyone to pile up all the water, grain, and the precious bag of salt, and said to everyone with excited faces: "Let's share the water and grain!"

Water is distributed easily, and each family has two water jars. As for the jars, water bags, and bamboo tubes, these belong to each family. Each family fills them with water and takes them back.

The salt is divided into five parts, and each family gets one share.

Eighty kilograms of coarse grains. Since there was no weighing, the old method was used to distribute the grains bowl by bowl. After the grain was distributed, each family packed it in sacks.

Gu Jinli was afraid that his family would not be able to keep the food and water, so he suggested to Gu Dashan: "Dad, let's give the food, salt, and two jars of water to the third grandfather's family for safekeeping, and take it back. I'm afraid the milk will come to **** it. "

Gu Dashan was a little hesitant after hearing Gu Jinli's suggestion, fearing that it would displease Mr. Gu.

The third grandma scolded him: "You have to be filial to me, no one will stop you, but you can't starve your children and your wife to death. Leave your things at my house, and I will look after them for you. If Pan is dissatisfied, let her come to the old woman." explain."

Gu Dashan was scolded and remembered the incident of Xiaoyu being injured and begging for food and Cui being beaten, so he fell silent and did not object again.

Gu Jinli and Gu Jinan hurriedly moved food, salt, and water to the third grandma's house.

The third grandfather looked at the already brightening sky and said to everyone: "Da Shan and Tiezhu follow me out and tell the village chief about the water source."

They have received enough water and exchanged food for them, and now they can let the villagers come in to collect water.

Without any objection, the guys started to pack their things and followed the third grandfather and the others. After wrapping the food and water in wild grass, they moved back to their resting place.

Bang bang bang!

It is already getting dark, and all the villages are gathering together with banging clappers and gongs and drums.

Gujiacun has finished calling the names, but he didn't hear the third grandfather and other family members. Gu Village Chief's face looked very ugly.

The old Gu family is gloating about misfortune, and if they dare to be late, Gu Dashan and his family will definitely be beaten by the village.

Mrs. Zheng suffered a loss at the hands of Gu Jinli yesterday. After going back in the evening, Brother Zhi didn't know what was going on. He kept complaining that his hand hurt and cried all night. She was so angry that she felt angry. At this moment, she saw that Gu Dashan and his family were late and busy. He shouted: "Village Chief, the rules of the village do not wait for anyone. Let's hurry up. Maybe the Gu Dashan family has done too many bad things and died in a remote corner of the mountain."

Gu Chengzhi, who was in Mrs. Zheng's arms, even cried and shouted: "Beat the **** girl and her family to death, the **** girl and her family all deserve to die, wuwuwu..."

His hand hurts, it hurts so much.

"Lao Liu, how did you teach your child?" The third grandfather's angry voice suddenly came. He stared at Mr. Gu in the crowd and said, "Brother Zhi is so vicious at a young age. Do you know that Xiaoyu saved our whole village?" life."

Hearing this, the people in Gujia Village looked at Third Grandpa, wondering what he meant by this.

Grandpa Third came to Village Chief Gu and whispered a few words to him. Village Chief Gu was pleasantly surprised: "Is what Third Brother said true? Did that girl Xiaoyu really find the water source?"

Three grandpa directly asked Gu Dashan to hand a jar of water to the village chief.

Brother, take a look for yourself, this is the water that the five of us dug out last night. Its clear. The third grandfather said in a low voice, for fear of being overheard by nearby victims.

Village Chief Gu took the water jar with trembling hands and drank a few water from the mouth of the jar. The water had an earthy smell, but it was clear: "We are saved."

Old brother, there is not much water in the pit. Hurry up and ask the villagers to get water. If it is too late, the water will seep out. Third Grandpa reminded.

"Yes, yes, third brother is right." Village Chief Gu hurriedly told everyone in a low voice that Gu Xiaoyu had found the water source, and asked everyone to get things to get water.

One sentence directly shocked the entire Gujia Village.

Lao Gu's family was even more confused.

Zheng Shi screamed: "What? Did that **** Gu Xiaoyu find the water source? Does she have that fate?!"
