Chapter 62

"I'm gone. You wait for me at home." With 50 Liang silver in his arms, Li Changfeng pulled out the donkey cart from the donkey pen and said goodbye to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing watched Li Changfeng drive away and go back to the main room. His heart was a pile of chaos. However, when he thought of the food and meat in the space and some medicinal materials that can sell money, his heart was more stable, "you child, you really came faster." It would be fate if they were born in the year of drought and panic, but he and Li Changfeng would not let the child suffer losses and grievances.

When Li Changfeng arrived at the end of the village, Lin Fangliang and uncle Xie waited there. After uncle Xie got on the donkey cart, he sighed, "God is really......" he didn't leave a way for the farmers.

When they put away their donkey carts and came to the only rice shop in the town, not many people came here to buy food. Most of them just bought a small bag. It seems that no one is ready to buy big ones like Li Changfeng and them.

Lin Fangliang is from the town. Naturally, he has a familiar face with the boss of the rice shop many times. He went up and whispered to the fat boss. When he spoke, he motioned to Li Changfeng and uncle Xie. The boss touched his moustache and nodded.

Then Lin Fangliang motioned Li Changfeng and uncle Xie to follow him and the boss of the rice shop to the backyard. Half an hour later, Li Changfeng came out of the rice shop. Not long after, the side door of the backyard of the rice shop opened, six donkey carts came out and went directly to the outside of the town.

Lin Fangliang and uncle Xie went back to the village first with six donkey carts. Li Changfeng bought many dry goods that could be stored for a long time in the coarse grain store. After that, he bought some meat and big bones at Liu butcher's stall, told each other about the situation, and asked them to bring words to the Li family yard. On this day, it's better to prepare some food earlier, and then drive a full car home.

After listening, butcher Liu asked his wife to guard the stall, took out all his possessions and ran to the rice shop.

When Li Changfeng came home, Xu Qing, with the help of Lin Fangliang and uncle Xie, had stored the grain on the four donkey carts in the cellar under the warehouse, and Lin Fangliang and uncle Xie also went back to put their grain. Li Changfeng asked Xu Qing not to interfere. He turned back and forth and put the dry goods in the cellar.

Xu Qing and Li Changfeng looked at the full cellar stuffed with grain and finally put down half their heart. "Now they just hope that God can open some eyes." Li Changfeng hugged Xu Qing and whispered.

But God didn't open his eyes. The field that hasn't dropped water for half a month has dried up. This is seeing that the crops in the field wither and die before they grow up.

Li Zheng called the villagers to a meeting. This time, all the people who went to the house were men in charge. Xu Qing was pregnant and it was hot, so Li Changfeng went by himself.

"The officials of the government have posted notices. I'm afraid there will be a drought this year." Li Zheng said with a calm face, which made the villagers almost despair.

"How can I get it!"

"Our family depends on this harvest in the field!"

"How can we afford the food in the town?"

Uncle Xie and Li Changfeng sat next to each other and listened to the sighs of the villagers around. Uncle Xie was both happy and sad, "you still have foresight, otherwise...". Li Changfeng was not calm.

After the meeting, Li Changfeng didn't go home directly, but went to the field first. He walked again in the field. Looking at the withered and yellow crops in the field, Li Changfeng wiped the sweat on his forehead and walked to the river. Now the river has become very small and the river bank has widened, which also means that the dry season has really come.

Not only the happy village is holding this collective meeting, but Anle village and happy village are gathered by the villagers. After saying the same words, old man Li and boss Li almost came home with a sad face. It's too hot that even the children at home don't want to wander around in the yard and dam.

"Father, brother, are you back? What's that saying? " Lao San Li sat on the stool in the hall with his legs crossed to catch a cold. When he saw Lao Han Li and them enter the room, he greeted them lazily. Lao Han Li put the dry tobacco pole on the table hard, and the sound made old lady Li and little brother Li come out.

"What?! As early as the second trustor came back with a message saying that there might be something wrong this day. Let's go to the town to buy some food earlier. You just don't agree with us to buy it! All right! All right! I think our family can't live anymore! Just wait to be starved to death! " Old man Li's body trembled angrily. Why did he give birth to such a evil animal!

Old lady Li, little brother Li and the third, the eldest daughter-in-law stood aside, silent, and the children were silent. The atmosphere at home made them instinctively feel that it was better not to make noise. Old lady Li thought it was a big thing. "What's the matter? Didn't you say it that day? Let's use this money to send me to take the exam. As long as I get into the exam, master, "old Li patted his thigh excitedly," that's everything. I'm afraid our family won't starve to death! "

Boss Li opened his mouth, "but, third, our food is only enough for our family for two months. There is no food harvest. We......" boss Li's daughter-in-law followed boss Li's words and became desperate. Yes, no matter how careful you are, if you don't have food, even adults can't endure it!

Li Lao San shook his head. "Brother, I didn't say that just our silver. How much food can we change when we go to the town now?" Boss Li was stunned, "can..." seeing boss Li shaking his God, old three li smiled: "it's a month's grain. Our family can't afford it. This grain price, so why don't you place your hope on me? I can take the exam next month. You only need to endure for one month! Just have everything! "

Little brother Li couldn't help but say, "what if you didn't win?"

As soon as Li Laosan heard this, he directly stood up and strode to brother Li and stared at him fiercely, "what's your heart?" Old lady Li and they were also surprised by little brother Li who suddenly said this.

Old Li hurriedly put his hands together and kept worshipping around, "you child, how do you talk! Bad luck! Bah, bah, don't blame the passing gods. The children in the family are young and don't understand, don't understand! "

Little brother Li's eyes were almost red, but he still looked at the people in front of him, "this is the truth, third brother. Have you thought about us, brother and your children? It's a good thing that you passed the exam, but what if you didn't pass the exam? How can our family survive? "

"Shut up! watch your mouth! watch your mouth! I told you to shut up! " What Li Laosan couldn't hear most was that he couldn't pass the exam. Every word of Li xiaoge'er was poking his heart. Therefore, Li Laosan, who had been dazzled by fame and wealth, directly slapped Li xiaoge'er. Li xiaoge'er was knocked down unprepared, his head "hummed", and he couldn't hear any sound in his ears.

"Third! What are you doing? " Boss Li once pulled it. He was already crazy and was about to come forward to beat brother Li. He slapped him hard, "wake up, that's our own brother!"

Li Laosan knelt on the ground, his eyes full of blood, struggling to get up again. Old Li's third daughter-in-law hurried to hug him, and several children were scared to cry. Old Li asked Old Li's daughter-in-law to bring the children into the house. He and old Li wanted to help little Li who sat motionless on the ground up.

"My brother, oh, no pain, no pain." Old lady Li was distressed to blow on brother Li's red and swollen face beaten by old three li. While comforting brother Li, old man Li held brother Li, "come on, get up. I'll clean up the beast later. Get up."

Little brother Li just felt his uncontrollable eyes were hot. He stared at the father whose mouth kept opening and closing. Ah, there was also a big brother who was scolding the third brother, and a third brother who was crying and holding the third brother.

"Father, ah."

Little brother Li made a small cry and let several people in the hall look at him. Boss Li also specially slapped old three li on the head, pulled a smile and said to little brother Li, "don't be afraid, big brother, I'll take it out on you!"

Little brother Li still didn't move, but gently pushed away old man Li's powerful, wanted to hold up his hands, and looked at old man Li and them with red and tearful eyes.

"I can't seem to hear you."

Li Changfeng thought about the meat at home. Before long, he took his tools and prepared to go up the mountain to dig more traps. He would see if he could harvest something tomorrow. Now that the dry season is coming, no one wants to come to the statue. Anyway, he is idle.

Xu Qing wanted to go, but his stomach was the biggest reason why he couldn't go. He had no choice but to watch Li Changfeng leave alone and stay at home waiting for Li Changfeng to come back.

The weather was muggy. When he stopped, he felt sleepy and sweated. There was not much water in the well. There was a well in the space, but it was too extravagant to take a bath with Lingquan. Therefore, Xu Qing, who was bored and had nothing to do, had to lie on the recliner made by Li Changfeng for him in the hall. After teasing Xiaobao for a while, he went to sleep like this.

On his way up the mountain, Li Changfeng met many Amis digging wild vegetables with baskets on their backs outside the mountain. This day is very poisonous. The food in the town can't afford to buy. If he doesn't get more wild vegetables back, his family can't survive the next day. He just doesn't know how long this wild vegetable can let them dig.

In order to introduce bigger prey, Li Changfeng took more roads into the mountains, dug traps and made signs. It was already dark. Li Changfeng missed Xu Qing at home and didn't stop too much, so he hurried home.

As a result, when Li Changfeng got home, in addition to Xiaobao around him, he didn't see Xu Qing's figure or hear his voice. The house was dark and there was no light at all.
