In front of the red leaf forest, two women grabbed the same handful of wild vegetables and refused to let go.

"I obviously saw this place first!"

"What use do you see?! I picked this vegetable first! That's mine!"

……

The two people who were arguing endlessly were Wang Xiulan and Li Guihua.

When other people around saw the two of them arguing over a handful of wild vegetables, they didn't bother to try to persuade them. They quickly picked the wild vegetables they could see and threw them into their own baskets.

The two of them were not clear-headed. There were obviously a lot of edible wild vegetables around, so they just grabbed the handful they had in their hands.

If you don’t pick it, we won’t be polite!

If other people picked the same handful of wild vegetables as themselves, Wang Xiulan and Li Guihua would not say anything, but who would let it be such a coincidence?

The two of them are fighting each other more and more happily these days. Now what is in their hands is just a handful of wild vegetables?

This is their face!

Hearing the sound in the red leaf forest, several young men immediately raised their weapons and shouted: "Who is over there?!"

"It's us, don't be nervous." Song Shan hurriedly ran to the front.

"You are back? Did you find water?"

"Oh my god! They are still holding rabbits in their hands!"

"Those lazy guys in my family don't want to go up the mountain because of the strong sun, otherwise we can have a meal."

Everyone’s attention immediately shifted to the rabbits carried by Father Song and the other four. After counting carefully, there were actually six of them!

Song Bai took his mother's basket and held the two rabbits with a smile: "Let's eat meat tonight!"

"Okay, eat meat." Mother Song laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. "Did you find water this time?"

In fact, she knew for sure that she must have found water, otherwise her son would not have said that he wanted to eat meat.After all, this rabbit requires a lot of water to process. If you can't find water, you might as well wait until the next town to sell it for money.

"Go back and tell us." Father Song nodded.

It happened that the team picking wild vegetables also arrived in front of the red leaf forest. After listening to Song Youcai's words, they all walked back with their baskets on their backs.

Wang Xiulan and Li Guihua, who were still deadlocked, looked at each other and silently divided the wild vegetables in their hands into two halves, each of them took half and put it in the basket on their backs.

snort!

I won’t argue with you this time!

As soon as the group came out of the mountain, the people guarding here saw them and hurriedly waved.

"Back! They're all back!"

Village Chief Song was so happy that he walked over to the other side. When he saw people looking for water and people picking wild vegetables coming back one by one, he finally calmed down.

"Grandpa! We caught a rabbit! Let's make some meat soup tonight." Song Shan picked up a rabbit in his hand and rubbed it in front of his grandfather.

Make soup?There is no water in their house.

Is it? !

Village Chief Song's eyes flashed, and he held Song Shan's hand tightly: "Did you find the water?"

"Found it, found it! Don't worry."

"Uncle Cai is really awesome. He led us to find a water pool in a cave. There is a lot of water in it, which should be enough for us to last for a while."

After Song Shan finished speaking, everyone around him was very happy.

Found water!

They don’t have to eat carrots every day!

You won’t die of thirst on the way!

"God open your eyes!"

"I just said that as long as we move forward, there will be hope of living!"

"Song Laoer is really capable! Not only did he find water, he also caught so many rabbits!"

"Don't think too hard. The people who went up the mountain caught this rabbit themselves. It has nothing to do with us."

"I know, isn't this fun?"

Today was such a good day. Not only did they pick a lot of wild vegetables, they also found a water source!

Both of these things are related to Song Lao'er's family. Fortunately, they followed the village chief, otherwise they might have died of thirst in the village!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Song's father walked up to Village Chief Song, waved and shouted: "Each household should spare a cart. Those who have an ox cart would be better off emptying it, and put whatever water they can hold on the cart." . Those who have a bullock cart send two people, and those who don’t have a bullock cart send three people to push the cart into the mountain. I will take everyone to the cave to fill the water later."

As soon as these words came out, everyone dispersed.

Why are you still crowded here?Why don't you go back quickly and free up the car?

Song's father also took Song's mother and two sons back to the shed at home, and threw the rabbits to Song Liu: "Skin and wash the two rabbits, and tie the other two and leave them."

After hearing that they had found water, the Song family members were full of energy and started working in an orderly manner.

Dou Xiaomei and Song Nan set aside the two large pots they brought at home and lit a fire to boil water.

The two large pots were filled with water, and two of the four large water tanks in the Song family were finally empty.

Song's mother vacated the second oxcart so that Song's father and Song Bai could put two empty water tanks on it and put two wooden barrels in the back.

"I'll go up with my second son, and you guys can clean up here. Don't worry, there's quite a lot of water there."

Song Bai led the ox cart, and Song's father went to Village Chief Song and struck the gong three times.Not long after, several bullock carts followed Song Bai, and someone pushed a cart to follow.

At this time, those families who did not buy cattle were very regretful, and some even wanted to ask the Song family to borrow a cattle cart, but this idea was dismissed by Village Chief Song.

"You didn't buy them at that time, and don't even think about borrowing them now. Except for the special circumstances of Du Shan's family and Song Song's family, all three of you can afford cows. In the town, even the Liu family and his wife bought cows. You Why didn't you know how to buy it? Now you know you regret it? With five of you, we only have two oxcarts left that can transport water. Who will we lend it to? Who will we not lend it to?"

The three members of the Song clan couldn't save face and walked back in despair.

Wang Xiulan and Li Guihua shamelessly went to the front of the motorcade. Village Chief Song knew that they would definitely not be able to borrow them, so he didn't even bother to look at them.

"Borrow an oxcart? No!"

Mother Song's face was already bad when she saw the two people coming over, but her face became even worse when she heard their idea of ​​borrowing the oxcart.

If anyone else had asked, she might have borrowed it.

But who are these two guys?Can she still know?

Once you borrow this bullock cart, can you still return it?

"Now that your bullock cart is not being used here, it doesn't matter if you lend it to us for use. We are just transporting water, and we don't want to kill the cattle for meat." Li Guihua curled her lips.

Wang Xiulan echoed: "I promise to return the water after transporting it. I have absolutely no other ideas. And I heard that I caught a few rabbits at home. Can you give me one? Half one, half one is fine. Xiaohe and the others are already well." I haven’t tasted meat in a few days.”

Wang Xiulan really had no choice. She only had a water tank and a wooden bucket at home.The cart is definitely not as stable as the bullock cart. If the cart is going up the mountain, how much water will it need to be sprinkled on the way back?

The most important thing is that Song Song is the only strong worker in the family, unlike other families where four or five strong workers can push a cart into the mountains.

She still had to stay by the side of the convoy and couldn't follow them into the mountains.

Li Guihua is different. She only has two buckets at home, which she bought together when she was buying food in town. Du Shan can carry two buckets in one hand without any problem.

She just wanted to see if she could trick the Song family's oxcart into coming over.If he really wanted to cheat me, then the Du family would also have an ox cart!
