Farm girl, she is always digging holes to bury people

"Uncle Master, apart from the water tank at your home, is there water elsewhere? For example, is there a pond?"

Qi Nan and Zhong Cheng looked at the spread of the fire. Although it spread quickly, it did not burn the entire house.

It can be seen that Zhang Qingyuan spent some money to build this house. At first glance, his house is the one with the largest area in the entire village.

"Yes, but next to the family down there, there is no time. And even if we use all our strength to transport water now, it will all be burned by the time it gets here.

Forget it, never mind, let's stay at my old buddy's house first, and let this place burn by itself. "

Zhang Qingyuan accepted the reality with a dejected face.

He didn't want to drag down these juniors to suffer along with him. This fire looked difficult to put out. Don't worry, the fire still couldn't be extinguished, and something happened to people.

"Save it if you can! Come on, let's fetch water. Even if we can't save the house, we'll see if we can preserve as much of the medicinal materials inside as possible."

After Qin Nan finished speaking, he looked into his outer courtyard and found two buckets.

Maybe these two buckets are the only property left by Zhang Qingyuan, but maybe these buckets can save more of his property.

The villagers behind heard the call for help and ran out one after another. They all carried all the tools that could hold water. After filling the water from their homes, they hurried to the place where the fire broke out.

"Everyone comes to help carry water, and we can pour as much water as we can."

"Zhang Qingyuan, stop sitting on the ground and come help!"

"Okay!"

The villagers and guards went out together and poured basins of water into the burning house, but the effect was no longer obvious. The area in front of the house did not continue to burn, but the fire in the entire house was no longer under control.

"No way!" Zhang Qingyuan said this for the second time.

But this time the situation is better.

After the fire in front was extinguished, the guards rescued some more items.

There are benches with missing arms and legs, as well as some burned herbs.

Zhang Qingyuan felt even more autistic when he looked at these tattered things.

It would be better to let him think that he has nothing from the beginning! Will he have to live on these shabby benches from now on?

Qi Nan and Zhong Cheng ran very fast, and soon they found the water source Zhang Qingyuan mentioned.

Looking at the shelducks floating on the pond, they felt a little familiar.

But now we can't control so much. Finding a way to transport the water up is the most important thing.

After the two drove away the shelducks near the pond, they quickly scooped up a bucket of water and prepared to go back.

"Stop! Who is there and what did you do to my ducks?"

"Why are you here?" The same question rang out twice, and Qin Nan saw clearly that the people who stopped them were the bandits they met in the reed swamp before.

She asked: Why do these ducks look so familiar? It turns out that the group of bandits came here and brought the shelducks here as well.

She now understood why the old man had been so wary of outsiders visiting before, and why every house had to be fenced off.

It's not as if they are guarding against these bandits. From the fact that these ducks can play freely in the pond, it can be seen that they should be protecting these bandits.

Since we are all acquaintances, it would be nice to have one more helper if we can.

"Stop talking about this now, help put out the fire!"

"Whose house is on fire?" The bald bandit immediately put down his long pole and hurriedly ran to Qi Nan and the others.

"Doctor Zhang's house, please help bring water."

"How can this work!" The bandit looked at the two buckets of water in their hands and expressed doubts.

"I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold by the time you deliver these two buckets of water."

"We can't control so much. Let's transport the water up first. There are many people fighting the fire up there. Let's see if we can think of any good ideas."

"Okay! I'm going to find some barrels too. Brother, brothers, come out and put out the fire!"

"coming!"

……

The bald man basically responded to everything among the bandits.

He howled out, and the bandits who were still letting the shelducks in the fields popped up one after another.

"What's going on? Why is there still a fire?"

"I don't know! It looks like there was a fire at Dr. Zhang's house, and the damage is not clear."

"Why are you still standing there? Go help put out the fire."

The bandits were dispatched en masse, and the fire-fighting brigade added a large number of manpower.

The situation above is not optimistic. The villagers have used up all the water they can use at home, and now they have to carry buckets to the underground ponds to transport water.

When he arrived at the burning house above, Qinan quickly poured out the water in his bucket.

Even if it's a drop in the bucket, it's better than doing nothing.

Just transporting water back once was not enough. After the water in Qi Nan and Zhong Cheng's hands was splashed out, they didn't even hear a sound and were annihilated in the black smoke.

"This won't work." Qi Nan pulled Zhong Cheng. "Remember the big vat in the old man's house when we came here? Let's try this."

Qi Nan just brought up the big tank, and the old man came to them and explained: "The water in my two big tanks has also been scooped out. Now there is only water in the pond at the bottom. Even if 1 people come to transport water, they can't save it." Not coming back."

"That's it, don't worry about it. Today's things have troubled everyone. Let's go back and rest. Let the fire burn by itself. There will be a day when it burns out."

Zhang Qingyuan had given up his hopes for a long time, and he was very touched by everyone's reaction today.

In the past, he liked to be alone. He felt that places with many people tended to be mean-spirited, and he was also a person who hated trouble, so he had been living alone in the small house on the roadside.

Until one day bandits from the reeds suddenly broke into Taoyuan Village.

At first they were also scared, thinking that the bandits were coming to rob the villagers.

But I didn’t expect that the bandits came to raise ducks.

The villagers of Taoyuan Village are notoriously poor. They live high in the mountains all year round and can only barely support their families by farming diligently every day.

Even at the end of the year, you may not be able to eat several meals of meat.

The arrival of the bandits made their lives richer. They taught the villagers how to raise ducks, and from time to time helped them drive away other people who wanted to bully Taoyuan Village.

As time goes by, everyone becomes more like a family.

For the safety of each other, the people of Taoyuan Village planned to move to a safe place, so they chose the current location to build new houses and breed shelducks.
