Since that day, the Hu family is still noisy on weekdays, but that's what they do after closing the door. At most, people passing by can hear some noises. The Hu family seems to be silent in the village like this .

He Anle paid attention to the news of their family from time to time, but later, they had no other actions, so they gave up. They had more important things to do.

It's like the water in the river is about to dry up, the weather is getting hotter day by day, and the drought in other places has spread to them, and the price of rice has doubled immediately. At this time, the price of rice is more expensive than before. Triple, and even as it was, there was still so much demand that two shops in town had closed.

"Wuya, what are you doing here?" Li Tianfu ate a small piece of cucumber extravagantly, and saw Wuya hurriedly walking outside with a basket in his hand.

The adults in the family also hurried out, and before he could speak, they went out.

"Brother Fu, don't you know that I went to catch fish in the river? Everyone has gone, Brother Fu, hurry up and go with your things. If you go later, you won't be able to pick up anything." Glancing at him, he thought to himself, Brother Fu must not have paid attention to the affairs of the village, they had been waiting for today.

"Is it right by the river?" Li Tianfu continued to ask, looking at the surrounding places, such a lively event, of course he is indispensable.

"Yeah!" Wu Ya nodded, got free, and trotted outside.

Li Tianfu looked around, didn't have time to rummage through the basket, and directly took down the basket containing dried wild vegetables in his milk, dumped all the contents on the table, and couldn't wait to go out with the basket.

As soon as they went out, all the adults and children in the village walked towards the river and came to the door of Brother He's house. As soon as they raised their hands, the door opened, and He Anle came out with a small basket in his hand.

Li Tianfu looked at the big basket he was carrying, and then at his small basket, "Why did you bring such a small basket?"

He Anle closed the door and said with a smile: "The big fish in the river have been caught, and the rest are some small shrimp and small fish. This basket is enough."

"Should I change to a smaller one?" Li Tianfu asked hesitantly.

"No, let's go." He Anle helped him make a decision.

It was a little late when they arrived, the river was full of people, they continued to move forward, and came to a place where there were few people, took off their shoes, folded their trousers, walked into the water, and, like everyone else, dumped the muddy water Pick up all the small fish and shrimp in the basket and put them into the basket.

"Brother He, did you hear any sound?" Li Tianfu picked up the small fish in the river absently, and this reminded him of his disgusting feeling of being dominated by fish before.

"Huh?" He Anle paused, seeing that other people didn't pay attention to them, grabbed Fu Ge'er's hand, and said helplessly, "Don't touch the clothes, it's dirty."

Li Tianfu looked at the clothes on which he poked a few small mud marks, and looked away guiltily, "I'll wash it for you when you go back."

"You don't wash your own clothes, but you still wash them for me? Is it true?"

Li Tianfu said cheekily, "It's fake."

He Anle focused, "It seems that there is really some sound?"

Apparently other people also noticed the voice coming from the front, "Come out, brother Fu, something seems wrong."

He Anle took Fu Ge'er's arm and went up from the muddy water. His feet washed away the mud in the water, and then put his wet feet into his shoes. In the position, two groups of people are confronting each other.

He Anle told him to stay behind, "You wait here, I'll go up and ask what happened?"

"It's okay, we won't be able to fight for a while, I'll go with you." Li Tianfu took his hand and squeezed to the front together.

The village head negotiated with them with a bad face, and Li Tianfu asked the people next to him: "What happened? Who are these people?"

"Because of the lack of water, we cut off the river, so of course there is no water in the downstream river. These are people from Zhaojia Village. Their village is in the middle of the river. Now they bring people to us to ask for an explanation. coming."

"Open the dam. This river does not belong to your Lijia Village. You have cut off the river. How can we live?" Village Chief Zhao led a group of young and middle-aged men and said aggressively.

"There is no water in this river, which eye of yours saw us cut off the river?" Village Chief Li sneered.

They did cut off the river a few days ago, and then every household took water home and stocked it, so there is basically not much water in the river now.

"This earth dam was built by us to catch fish. Although I don't know where you got the news that we stopped the river, but in fact we didn't. We are busy catching fish, you should leave now!"

There was indeed no water in the river, it was all muddy water, and the people who came carried a small basket in their hands, which contained small shrimps and fishes from the river, and greens from Zhaojia Village. The middle-aged people already believed what they said.

Not every village is like their Lijia Village, who are willing to spend money to build wells in the village. This is the case in Zhaojia Village. There is no public well in their village, and they rely on the water in the river to maintain their lives on weekdays.

With the increase of the drought time, the money required for well drilling has also increased a lot, and the later the well drilling price, the higher the price. In the future, it is estimated that no one is willing to dig wells, because it is estimated that there will be no water coming out of wells.

"The village chief looks like what they said is true, let's go back!"

"Open the earth dam, and even a little bit of water won't flow to us."

Seeing that they couldn't get any advantage, Village Chief Zhao gave Village Chief Li a gouged look, regretting that he didn't come to settle accounts with them as soon as he got the news.

The fish in their river had been caught and eaten long ago. Looking at the fish they put aside in Lijia Village, they were salivating. If they had come earlier, they would have been compensated. Why did the people of Lijia Village move so fast?

It only took two days, and they picked up all the water in the river? !

Everyone in Lijia Village said that they should store all kinds of things at home first, and then carry water to water the sweet potatoes in the field. Anyway, the sweet potatoes are almost ripe, and it doesn't matter if they water the last time.

Seeing that they couldn't take advantage of it, the people in Zhaojia Village could only leave unwillingly, and their village had to find someone to dig a well.

When they left with hoes, sickles and other things, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If they really wanted to fight, those who came without tools would be at a disadvantage.

When the crowd dispersed, He Anle stayed and said solemnly: "Village Chief, I don't think it's okay to continue like this."

Village Chief Li sighed, "There is nothing we can do now."

"After a while, let's arrange people to patrol the village!"

"That's not what I mean, what I mean is that if people lack water, the beasts on the mountain will also lack water..."

Their village was surrounded by mountains, and once the wild beasts came down from the mountains, it was impossible to guard against them.

The village chief paused, and his face became even more sad. This is indeed a big problem. If they are not prepared well, once they go down the mountain, they will cause not a little loss.

"Then what do you think should be done?" the village chief asked.

"The best way is to build a wall, but the current situation is obviously unrealistic, so we can only choose to plant a circle of thorns around the village."

This kind of thorn is the kind that grows on the mountain. It is cold-resistant, and the thorns on its body are very powerful. If a bush is planted around their village, it can at least prevent it from not only wild animals, but also people.

The drought in their south is so severe, and the drought in the north will only get worse. There will definitely be a large wave of victims flocking here. Will anyone come to their remote place?He is also hard to say.

Fu Geer's house is the safest, and the high wall is the best protection. After He Anle plans to go back, he will also surround his own house. They live in their hearts. When the beast goes down the mountain, the first goal is to them.

Village Chief Li hesitated, "Is this possible?"

"Do you have a better way?" He Anle asked back.

After thinking for a while, He Anle reminded, "Please tell everyone to check the door of your house. If wild animals come down the mountain, can you resist their attack? If the door is not strong, go and repair it!"

He looked at the withered grass on one side and said, "It hasn't rained for a long time, and the weeds are all withered."

There is a wall around the village head's house, and he is not very worried. He plans to let the news know by the way when the fish will be divided, and the sooner the digging of thorns can be done, the better.

Li Tianfu added on the side, "We can dig a few more traps at the foot of the mountain. If they go down the mountain, we can catch one by one."

"This is a good idea." Village Chief Li nodded.

"Then let's go fish first."

"Go!" Village Chief Li was thinking about something, and waved to them after hearing the words, thinking in his heart, the two of them actually made two good suggestions, when they share the fish at night, they will give their family some bigger ones.

It is true that they divide the fish according to the strips, according to the head of each household, but the size of the fish is different. If the village chief’s family is not short of food, his share is not needed, and he will divide the fish. , can be said to be relatively fair.

The two picked up a lot of small fish in the river, basically the size of two fingers, or even smaller. They have a lot of family members, so they will get a lot of fish, and there are still a lot of dried fish in their family. A lot...so Li Tianfu didn't have much enthusiasm for picking up this little fish.

At noon, when the fish was distributed, after picking up the fish and sending the fish home, the village chief called a meeting. Those who went to the meeting were of course his grandma, his father, and the younger generation. It doesn't matter if you don't go.

Li Tianfu: "Brother He, do you and your aunt want to move to our house first?"

He Anle shook his head, "I plan to build a wall around my house."

"Okay, I'll ask my father and uncle to go over and help."
