"Even if you want to live, you have to have a life to live."

Nona smiled and shook her head. She did not explain, but she also refused in disguised fashion. It was not that she did not think that the person who had targeted her might be him. After all, among all the people she came into contact with, he was the only one with extraordinary skills and strange movements. Even if he had never mentioned it, Jiu Niang believed that this person's identity was definitely not simple.

Nona would think of a canal, but it was just a sudden impulse. Everything went smoothly and she was embarrassed to leave. It was like chasing a duck to the gutter. "In fact, she had started to regret it very early on. These days, if she showed off too much, she would sooner or later be targeted by others. She only wanted to be an honest person and live a life of peace and quiet.

So that day, even though she was angry at Wang Er, wasn't it to find a way out for her?

Thinking about it for a moment, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of fear. If she really managed to think of all the things that she wanted to do without making a sound, at that time …

Windmill, waterwheel, sink...

These things didn't seem out of line at all. Moreover, many of them were not that complicated. Even if he didn't do it himself, someone would probably be able to do it very soon.

But...

However, she had forgotten one crucial point: drought!

Yes, drought.

She didn't know if others had already felt it, or if she was the only one who had. The drier the weather is now, the less rain there has been since autumn. It was almost the new year, and the weather was getting colder and colder. The cold wind blew every day, and people felt like they were going to freeze to death. However, there were no snowflakes at all, and there were no signs of snow. It was just that a lot of people had yet to realize that this was the coldest winter. Everyone's attention was diverted by the cold, so they did not realize that there was an even more terrifying danger lurking behind the cold.

"Don't worry, I, Situ Jin, will definitely give you some peace of mind." With a slight frown, a trace of dissatisfaction quickly flashed across his eyes. Situ Jin didn't expect her to reject him. He didn't want to make things difficult for her, so when he found out that she had given up in anger, he didn't immediately come to find her but tried to think of a way himself.

However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find a good solution. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, he was forced to find her. Originally … Originally, his purpose of coming here was to find out who was secretly collecting food. However, after checking, he found out that the situation was already so serious.

Thus, when he saw the map that Jiu Niang had drawn, he took it for himself without a second word and immediately headed up the mountain to investigate. Within a radius of several hundred kilometers, there was a lack of water everywhere. Some of the rivers had even dried up. Even if there weren't any dried up ones, the water level would still drop lower and lower … And that waterfall...

It had to be said that this place was blessed by the heavens. However, that mountain didn't have any decent roads. Everyone could still find water sources from other places, so there weren't any problems for the time being. However … But when the water in the vicinity has dried up, then... Then when the time comes …

If all those who lacked water were to run up the mountain, at that time … When that happens, who knows how many people will die …

"Thank you, but I'm not really interested in silver."

Gold?

A room full of gold? Oh my god, if this isn't a gold house, then what is it? Nona's heart was beating wildly, but … But in the end, he endured it.

No, he couldn't agree to it. If he did, he might not even be able to keep his little life.

"It's getting late, I'll treat you to a meal!"

Ninth Madame rejected him. Situ Jin didn't explode nor did he turn dark. On the contrary, he acted like he didn't care at all. He even giggled and said that he would be invited to a meal.

If he was angry, his dark face, or any other kind of woman, she wouldn't think much of it, but …

But this way …

Nona felt a little uneasy instead.

"No need, Grandma went out to buy groceries and will be back soon."

Ever since the time the old widow went out to buy vegetables, she didn't dare let her go out alone. She always had the pockmarked one with her. Although the yamen had already sent people to patrol since the last incident to prevent similar incidents from happening again, Nona was still worried …

Maybe people thought that it was just a coincidence, but she knew in her heart that it wasn't a coincidence at all, but an inevitable one! And it's going to get worse as the drought gets worse. If she hadn't foreseen that such a thing would happen, she wouldn't have bought the house so early on.

"Let's go, there's no need to be polite. It's not like I'm going to eat you!" "Besides, if the business fails and we become friends, then I will have to go back tomorrow. I don't know when I will see you again, so let's just take it as a farewell dinner."

Not allowing Jiu Niang to refuse, this time Situ Jin was very insistent. He directly pulled her by the hand and started to walk out. Unexpectedly, she looked shriveled and shriveled like a malnourished tree, but her small hands were soft and warm …

"You … Forget it, forget it, let go of me! "

He originally wanted to refuse, but …

But for some reason, he couldn't say the words of rejection. Nona was a bit discouraged. She shook off Situ Jin's hand and angrily rushed forward. The corners of Situ Jin's lips couldn't help but slightly rise as he looked at Nona, who was quickly running away.

She was indeed a kind-hearted and kind-hearted girl. She was obviously unwilling in her heart, but … However, he still couldn't bear to refuse her … Just like when he was treating his injuries, even though his mouth was extremely stinky, in the end, he still made everything up properly. He was probably afraid that Ye Zichen would not take the medicine again and would even write a detailed description of how to eat it or even eat it a few times. Of course, he couldn't avoid saying some more nasty words in the end …

If you don't do what she wants, don't blame her when you die.

To be honest, he was completely stunned when he saw it, let alone the guards around him. If she hadn't stopped them, they would have long since rushed over to find trouble with this girl …

This was the first time someone dared to speak to him in such a manner and treat him with such attitude.

But... But for some reason, not only was he not angry, he … On the contrary, she felt her heart warm up, to the point of even forgetting that she had once again made herself faint …

"Hey, didn't you say you would treat me to a meal? You walk so slowly, don't tell me you can't bear to part with that bit of silver! "Howl …"

After walking for a long time, he suddenly realized that he had left Situ Jin behind. Nona felt embarrassed and shouted loudly with a darkened face. Luckily, there weren't many people on the road, otherwise …

"Hur hur, don't worry about eating. You won't be able to eat to your heart's content."

Situ Jin didn't seem to be the least bit angry. Instead, he leisurely made fun of her.

Since he was born, this was the first time he took the initiative to treat someone to a meal, especially since he was a girl.

Although this girl was a bit too young and she looked … Even his subordinates didn't think about that … But... However, for some reason, he suddenly had a thought. If he could find a girl with a character like hers, she shouldn't be too lonely in her entire life, right?

"Hey!" Where else do you want me to go? Didn't you just say that it's just for eating? "

She knew that this fellow would not be so kind as to just treat her to a meal. He did eat this, but … But when he asked to go home, this guy actually directly picked him up …

It had to be said that Situ Jin's Qing Gong was indescribably good. Although he carried a person on his back, he was still as light as a swallow …

"We're here!"

After a long while, Situ Jin stopped and put Nona down from his shoulders …

"Ugh …" You bastard, what are you trying to do? "You know what? You almost played me to death just now!"

Being carried on her shoulder like a sack was definitely the first time for Nona. Furthermore, she had just f * cking eaten her fill. If this fellow didn't stop, she would have thought that she was about to vomit.

"Pah!"

A heavy slap landed on Jiu Niang's head. With a stern face, Situ Jin scolded, "Such a young age, not learning well. What, I'm an old lady, not a lady at all!"

However, a trace of a smile flashed across his black and white pupils.

Hehe, when this girl exploded her fur, she was really very interesting. She bared her fangs and brandished her claws; it was as if she was a little kitten that had always been angry. I don't know why, but it was especially interesting.

"Lady your head!" Can a lady eat it as a meal? Moreover, whose lady is being carried on her shoulder like a sack! "

With both hands on her hips, Jiu Niang glared at Situ Jin, her heart beating down on the word 'lady'.

Hmph, my lady, my lady your sister, what use is a lady to me? Can a lady beat a hooligan? She was a true man, and had been deceived by this shameless fellow.

He said that he would treat her to a meal and even said it pitifully. He said that he would be leaving tomorrow. It was unknown when he would meet her again in the future …

Hmph, she was really blind. In her previous life, in addition to this life, she had lived for at least thirty years. As expected … He was too soft-hearted …

He thought that the drought was getting worse and worse, but who knew what would happen tomorrow … He might not be able to see her in the future … It was not like modern times. There were all kinds of cars, trains, and airplanes. As long as one had the money, they could go anywhere they wanted to.

"Eh …" What are those people doing? "

Just as Nona was about to lose her temper, she saw dozens of men walking in one direction in large groups. Moreover, they looked a bit off …

How should he put it …

Based on Jiu Niang's many years of experience, these guys looked like they were going to fight a group battle!

Right, a group fight!

Looking at their faces and ears flushed red, and their bodies were filled with rage …

But... Was it just that there were group fights in the ancient times?

Moreover, all of these people were grown up men. There were no elderly, no children, and no women …

"Don't tell me the old, weak, and handicapped are not allowed to participate in battles?"

Nona found it funny and said so casually.

However, she didn't expect that Situ Jin would actually answer honestly, "Yeah, of course the elderly and children wouldn't be allowed to participate in something like this!"

"What?" Was it really a fight? Are these people crazy? Is there something you can't talk about? Do you have to fight? "No, no, let's hurry up and inform the yamen!"

Nona was definitely a good citizen, and in her opinion, this sort of thing was simply a gathering of people for a brawl. He had to call 110 as soon as possible because he had something to ask for the help of his uncle. However, there weren't any police here, so he could only call the yamen …

"It's no use, we've been short of water for so long, we've fought countless times between the village and the village already. Without water, the yamen would be useless!"
