Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Time passed quietly in silence. After an unknown amount of time, Father Liu gently woke up Lin Weizhong and said, "Weizhong, it's your turn to keep watch. Go and have some rest."

Lin Weizhong fell asleep in a short while. When he heard Liu's father's voice, he opened his eyes and saw the moonlight outside was like water, spreading across the entire starry sky, making it seem particularly peaceful and tranquil.

He stood up, walked to the fire, and took Liu's father's place.

"Uncle Liu, you should take a rest!"

"Okay, I'll take a nap!"

The night breeze is slightly cool, carrying a hint of earthy fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Lin Weizhong has completely woken up from his sleep.

He first looked at the fire and added two pieces of firewood into it. Then he went to see his son Lin Keyu who was still sleeping and covered him with the blanket that had slipped off.

The nights are getting cooler now.

"Wei Zhong, it's cold at night, you should put on this clothes." Father Liu said as he handed the clothes to Lin Wei Zhong.

Lin Weizhong took the clothes and felt a warm current in his heart. He looked at Liu's father gratefully and said, "Thank you, Uncle Liu. Go and have a rest."

The next day, it was dawn.

The villagers started to get up and pack their things one after another.

Village Chief Hu took several people from the village who were going to change the water and asked about the water change. Father Liu hurriedly urged Liu Caixia: "Caixia, take all the water bags and come with me!"

"Okay, Dad!"

Liu Caixia hurriedly took away all the water bags, including those of Lin Weizhong and his son.

He said to the rest of the people, "My father and I will go take a look. You stay here with the villagers and wait for us to come back!"

They have quite a lot of luggage now, so they definitely can't all go together.

The rest of the people stayed behind to pack up. In case they had to continue their journey today, they couldn't fall behind.

I had already talked to the two village chiefs yesterday, and they showed me the way. The house that the brother and sister rented was quite remote, near the foot of the mountain. It took us nearly half an hour to get there, and it was indeed not close.

There was already a local villager waiting here, a little boy who looked to be about ten years old, holding a booklet and a small bucket.

When this person saw a stranger coming, he took the initiative to greet the person. Yesterday, after the two village chiefs went back, they gathered the villagers and told them that chestnuts could be cooked and eaten. Everyone in the village was very happy.

When he saw someone coming today, he took the initiative to greet them and express his gratitude.

"You are from Hujia Village, right? Are you here to exchange water as well? Thank you for telling us how to eat chestnuts. Today, everyone in the village has gone up the mountain. We will be less likely to go hungry in the winter."

"Yes, you're welcome, little brother. We could have gotten the water you shared yesterday, it's a mutually beneficial thing. I also want to thank Village Chief Yu and Village Chief Yang for pointing the way yesterday!"

Another villager from Shitou Village also echoed, "Village Chief Yu and Village Chief Yang led the men of the village up the mountain at dawn. Thanks to the chestnuts you introduced, we have one more thing to eat in winter to fill our stomachs! Thank you so much!"

"Why don't you go east?"

Although Father Liu learned some news from the two village chiefs yesterday, he still wanted to ask the villagers what they thought.

"Everyone who can leave has left. The ones left have difficulty supporting their families. If they stay here, they can still rely on the mountains for food. There are still wild vegetables and tree barks in the mountains that can be eaten. If they continue to leave, it will not be much better. Without money, they can't buy food. If they stay here, there are still mountains. They will never starve to death!"

This seems to be the case. In years of famine, there are many people eating grass roots and tree barks.

At least you can find some food in the mountains. If not, there are more grass roots and tree barks than in other places.

"That's right, little brother. Home is always better. No one wants to leave if they can stay here!"

"Yes, as long as we can hold on until it rains, we can survive! According to the experience of the old people in the village, it should rain soon!!"

As they were talking, they arrived in front of a thatched house with a fenced yard outside.

There was a wooden door in the yard. The young man in front knocked on the door and waited with the people behind him for someone to open it.

Father Liu saw that no one came to open the door for a long time, so he asked the little brother, "The person inside didn't come out, is he gone?"

"I knocked on the door, and a voice from inside answered me just now. The voice was relatively quiet, so you might not have heard what they said later. They told us to wait, so we waited. When they were drawing water from the well in the backyard, we were not allowed to go in, so we had to wait outside!"

"I don't know if there's enough water. I see there are quite a few people behind us."

Father Liu looked around and saw that besides the seven or eight people from their village, there were also five or six people from other villages that he didn't know.

I don't know if there is enough water.

"You definitely can't change all of it. They change the water twice a day, morning and evening. After all, the water accumulates and seeps up from the ground.

However, if it doesn’t rain later this day, the groundwater will definitely become less and less. After a day of rain, only two or three families in our village could barely get some water.

I don’t know how lucky this brother and sister were. The well had been dry for a long time, but after they came, there was water again. The two children couldn’t finish drinking it, so they took it out to exchange for other things!

If there are many people, everyone will get an equal share. It is impossible to fill everyone's bucket. The water here is very clear and sweet. The villagers bring it back to drink. "

Village Chief Hu and Father Liu stood at the back, looked at each other, and could only nod and sigh: "People with good luck can't envy it."

After waiting for another half an incense stick of time, the door opened and a child dressed as a man who looked about 15 years old came out with a sky rocket on her head. However, Liu's father, an old hand, knew at first glance that it was a girl.

The man pretended to be gruff and said, "If you want to change the water, give me the stuff and I'll fill it for you!"

"it is good!"

The little boy from the village handed over the registration booklet and bucket.

The little girl went in with her things, and soon came out carrying half a bucket of water. The people in Hujia Village took a look at the water and found that it was indeed as clean and clear as they said.

The little girl looked at the people from Hujia Village and said calmly:

"There are too many of you. I don't have enough water to give you. Show me what you are going to exchange. I will give you the water and you can divide it among yourselves. I will choose the things I need most. As for how to divide it, you can solve it privately."

The little girl spoke concisely and with a seriousness that could not be refused.

Only Father Liu could tell from the tone of her voice that she was pretending to be calm!
