Chapter Sixty-Sixth: Just Because It's My Family Well!

tely top-notch!""Yes, look at these leaves, so green and jade-like, they are well-cared for!""No, no, what's rare is this flower stalk and bud. Even if it withers this year, it will be full of flowers...From this day forward, almost everyone in the Li family changed their routines. 。 Jiayin slept all day and kept watch at the wellmouth, drawing water all night. 。Of course, the old woman had to go along. The whole family kept pulling water and watering 。 Tedious and arduous, but no one in the Li family complained. 。Compared to when we were living on the steppes, fleeing as refugees with the constant danger of being beheaded by barbarians 。Compared to the despair that night at the dock, this kind of hardship is just hardship. But in my heart, I feel grounded! They are fighting for life, doing their best 。Villagers came to Li's house every day to draw water, silently watching the Li family do "useless work". 。Some people also wanted to water the fields, but they didn't have a car. They carried water all night and barely watered one patch. 。 Just thinking about it, I instantly gave up. 。Days pass by day, and the mountains and forests have turned yellow for the most part. Even standing in the sun to breathe can feel like a burn. 。The river outside the village has begun to dry up, and the wells in each village have run dry. 。Those with relatives in the city began to head there. 。Those without relatives in the city, dragged their families and belongings to even deeper mountains. 。Many people also flocked to QingShui Village, without mentioning how much they disliked the village before. 。The reason is that this well belongs to the Li family. 。Although it often dries up, it is always quickly refilled. 。Each household doesn't want too much, just enough for one day. A bucket of water is enough to prevent thirst for children and the elderly. If there's still some left, they can cook a pot of porridge. As long as they don't starve, that's all that matters. 。But when there are too many people, there will always be some trouble. 。Originally, there were dozens of families in the village. They all lined up to draw water. 。These twenty-plus outdoor villages always squabble over water. 。The village chief couldn't stand it any longer, so he came to Li's house every day to oversee the distribution. 。Not only do people from Wucun have to drink at home, but they also have to take care of the livestock. 。So, I thought I'd draw two more buckets of water. 。Everyone naturally disagreed, there was so much water. 。Whoever draws two more buckets, it’s possible that the last one won't have any water left. 。And the well, no one knew when it would have water again, there was no pattern at all. 。The villagers who were stopped became unhappy and complained. 。Aren't you guys bullying people You won't even let me carry two more buckets of water. 。"Then, the Li family even brought a whole truckload of water to irrigate their crops! Why don't you mention that What's the reason!"

In the courtyard, silence fell abruptly because of this statement. 。Old Mrs. Li sat under the eaves with her granddaughter in her arms. 。Jiao Yin has lost a lot of weight these days, and her face is a bit pale. 。Old Mrs. Li was already feeling distressed and helpless, and hearing such words made her furious at that moment. 。"Why Because this is my family well! During times like these, letting you draw water is out of a sense of kinship." 。It's not your debt!

Our family well, let alone watering our land

It's okay that he's splashing water in the courtyard and won't let you hit him. 。Then, are you going to have the government arrest us 。"Did we break the law What a brazen face you have!" The old woman lived peacefully in the village, always smiling. 。To suddenly scowl and scold someone like this is truly unexpected. 。But soon, Wu Sanné and Zhang Ersao were all joining in. 。"That's right, drinking other people's water and still having to be told what to do by you..." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。"Who are you, the county magistrate!" "If you have the ability, don't come live in our village! We won't lend you our houses or share our water with you!" 。"That's not helping at all, you ungrateful wretch!"

The villager from outside the village was scolded until his face turned red and his neck thick. He wanted to leave but didn't want to, so in the end he could only stand at the back of the line. 。Everyone took turns drawing water, one person per bucket, and it was just enough. 。Just as the crowd was making their way out, on a mountain path not far from Li's house... 。Suddenly, a cloud of dust appeared, and three or four wild boars ran down. Behind them were several old men chasing after Zhao Shu, shouting loudly. 。"Kill them, they'll ruin our crops!"It turned out that Uncle Zhao and the others, unable to help with watering at night, had volunteered to take over the other tasks of tending the fields. 。Working the night shift during the day, fearing that wild animals on the mountain would harm the crops. 。Unexpectedly, a wild boar had its eyes on the Li family's land and came today with its companions to have a feast. 。Uncle Zhao was watching closely and quickly discovered it. He knocked on the copper basin to drive away 。The wild boar, startled, ran straight into the village. 。Everyone screamed in fear and scattered, who would dare to confront a wild boar head-on 。At that very moment, Old Four Li directly climbed out from the courtyard wall. 。He held a thick wooden club in his hand, and with one swing, he brought it down on the head of the leading wild boar. 。The wild boar let out a shrill scream, its brains splattering, before collapsing to the ground. 。Jiayi squeezed out from the front door, lagging behind. He was also in a hurry, so he jumped onto the back of a wild boar. 。 leave the palace Have two more dishes added for lunch and summon them over to dine together."The crown prince shook his head, a touch of annoyance in his voice as he replied, "My younger sister, the...
