Chapter 132 The parents on the road to escape 30
Yuan Xi and his second brother walked in front, followed by Zhang Lei and others carrying wooden buckets, and the group walked towards the well.
There was a long queue at the well. The patriarch stood on the edge of the well and watched the villagers fetch water one by one, his eyes narrowed with laughter.
"Clan leader."
"Yuan Lin and Yuan Xi are here."
The patriarch turned around and saw the two brothers. He couldn't help but walk over and share this happy event with them. The point was that he didn't know if there were any gods he had missed, so he asked the two brothers specifically.
"immortal?"
Yuan Xi's eyes twitched, it couldn't be what he thought, right?
"So much water came out of the well overnight. It must be the blessing of the gods. I don't know which god did it, so I just thanked them all. It's not surprising that there are many people, and gods must be like this."
"Then you have to thank the gods, but we can't forget the ancestors of Zhangjiacun."
Zhang Yuanlin felt that this incident should be caused by the appearance of his ancestors. Last time their ancestors showed up and dug out so much gold and silver, this time it should be his ancestors who did it. I wonder if his father and grandfather couldn't bear to see their descendants die of thirst. , the apparition has come.
He completely forgot that his family was not short of water to that extent. According to his thinking, Shunzi's father should have appeared.
Yuan Xi didn't know what his brother was thinking, and suddenly his eyes filled with tears.
"Don't worry, I won't forget. I thanked you early in the morning. I planned to write it down in the family tree when I go back. It's a pity. If we were in the village, we should open an ancestral hall now to offer incense to our ancestors and hold a banquet. Busy and lively.”
It was so simple to record it in the family tree without any sense of ceremony. The patriarch always felt a little regretful.
Yuan Xi watched the two old men chattering non-stop. From the initial harmony of thanking various gods, they ended up arguing about whose ancestor did it. The second brother insisted that it was his ancestor, and the patriarch was not happy. , the two quarreled.
In fact, it doesn't have to be like this. The ancestor of Yuan Dynasty, Xi, looked at the sky speechlessly, feeling that he had become older for no reason.
"Clan leader, are we still leaving today?"
Yuan Xi interrupted the quarrel between the two and asked why they came to find the clan leader in the first place.
The two stopped immediately. The patriarch touched his beard twice, pondered for a moment, and said: "Let's rest for a day. Everyone has replenished the water. I don't know if there will be water on the road ahead. We will set off tomorrow."
The villagers fetching water cheered when they heard the patriarch's words.
"Grandpa Patriarch, there is water here, why do we have to leave?"
Shunzi's eldest son didn't understand why he had to leave. His little head was filled with the fear of nearly dying of thirst due to lack of water at home in the past two days. In order to save water, Shunzi's mother didn't drink water for a day and fainted. If it hadn't been for this, the patriarch would not have known that Shunzi's family was so short of water.
Later, the patriarch scolded Shunzi, and together with other families in the village who had abundant water, they collected a few buckets of water for Shunzi's family.
Otherwise, their family would not be able to survive until now.
When Shunzi came to this village yesterday, her first thought was to fetch water from the well. Relying on others' help is not as good as having water at home. People in the village who have water will also complain if the weather lasts for a long time.
As a result, the well dried up. He was unwilling to come here early in the morning and threw a stone down angrily. Then he heard something different. He couldn't believe it until he fetched the water and drank two big gulps. Not an illusion.
The patriarch touched Shunzi's eldest son's head with yellow hair and said, "Because, we are going to a place where there is no drought. The rivers there have not dried up. We don't have to worry about lack of water and we can still grow crops."
"Is it the same as before in the village?"
The patriarch smiled happily and replied: "Yes."
"Ah, then don't do it."
Shunzi's eldest son has a slumped face. He is already five years old. He remembers his life in the village and was often hungry. However, he was able to eat every meal along the way. After meeting Black Tiger Village, their family had money. The food was better, and he passed through several towns on the road. His father also bought many things that he had never dared to think of before, such as pastries, candied haws, candies, and toys. He could often drink white rice porridge.
Now that he had to live through the hard days in the village, he felt an aura of resistance all over him when he thought about it.
The patriarch's body froze. Could this little bastard have any more disgusting expression on his face?
Yuan Xi laughed unceremoniously. When he laughed, the people around him also laughed, but not as loudly as Yuan Xi. The patriarch couldn't hide his eyes from wanting to stab him.
The patriarch recited Tong Yan Wuji several times in his mind, and asked: "Isn't it good to be in the village? Life is stable, and you don't have to work hard on the road like now."
The old man was nostalgic, and the patriarch's tone was full of nostalgia. If it weren't for the sake of survival, he really didn't want to leave the place where he had lived for most of his life, and he didn't know if he could go back in this life and return to his roots. Thinking of this, the clan leader couldn't help but sigh.
"But I don't have enough to eat in the village, but I have enough to eat every day on the road. Dad will also buy me delicious and fun things."
As long as there is water, it is actually not bad to be on the road all the time. He silently made a wish in his heart: I hope I can find water every day, and if the road is longer, I can stay on the road all my life.
Patriarch: I can’t! ! !
The patriarch listened to his words and comforted him: "When we get to the new place, life will be better, even better than on the road."
That is to say, the patriarch didn't know what the little kid had wished for in his heart, otherwise he would definitely sue the parents and ask Shunzi to give the kid a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots.
"Grandpa Patriarch, I am already five years old, not three."
Faced with the expression of "You're lying to a child" on this little kid's face, the patriarch couldn't hold back any longer. Yuan Xi immediately stepped forward and coaxed the kid away with candy.
Although I enjoyed watching the show, I still have to save some face for the clan leader. He is quite old and having too many emotional ups and downs is not good for his health.
But it’s so funny, hahahaha.
Yuan Xi laughed in his heart, with a smile on his face. Looking at Shunzi's eldest son, he felt that this child had amazing bones and must be a talent in the future.
When Shunzi came to fetch water again, Yuanxi returned the child to him and said with sincerity: "Take good care of him, this child is very clever."
Shunzi took over his eldest son with a happy face. He didn't understand why Uncle Yuan said this, but when his son was praised, Shunzi couldn't help laughing and exchanged greetings with Uncle Yuan.
Turning around, I saw the expressions of the other people fetching water that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and oh, there was also the angry face of the clan leader.
Shunzi:? ? ? What happened?
Seeing that Shunzi had accomplished a great feat by discovering the water in the well, the clan leader snorted and left.
After Yuan Xi exchanged greetings with Shunzi, he went back with his second brother. He walked very fast on the road. He had no choice but to laugh too loudly just now and was afraid that the clan leader would catch up.
