Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

Li Zheng was collecting money from door to door, and when he came to Cheng Mu's house, Cheng Mu went out to talk to Li Zheng about the situation.

"There are only two of you in your family, so you should have some twenty coins."

Cheng Mu said, "My family doesn't have any cents now, and the money is all used to buy rice."

There are a few families like this, and other families may not believe it, but he knows that Cheng Mu's family has always been poor, "Then we have to write down the name and report it to the prefect of Qingzhou, Cheng Mu, you have to think about it."

"Lizheng, if you remember, just remember my name. It has nothing to do with Ah Yun. He was implicated because of my incompetence."

Li Zheng had no choice but to write Cheng Mu's name in the notebook.

Waiting for Li to leave, Cheng Mu closed the door, sighed and went back to the house. What is the difference between this and excessive tax collection.

The well in Cheng Mu's yard was dug deep at that time, and now there is water even in severe drought, but they dare not waste this water.

The potatoes and radishes planted in the yard are growing. Every day, Yunyun pours the water from washing dishes and feet into the vegetable field, so the radishes and potatoes are growing well.This is also what he cares about. Potatoes and radishes are the main dishes in winter. If you treat them carefully now, winter will be better.

The river is almost dry, and the villagers usually have to stand on the dry river bed when they go to wash their clothes, and a group of people who go to take a bath at night usually disappear.

Yun Yun hasn't bathed for more than ten days, and the well water is so precious that he and Cheng Mu are reluctant to part with it.

After all, it was summer, and it was easy to sweat. Whenever Yun Yun rubbed her arms, black and gray balls could be produced.

When sleeping at night, Cheng Mu noticed that Yun Yun was scratching her body, so she quickly lit the kerosene lamp to see what happened.

"Is it itchy?"

Yun Yun nodded, a layer of dust had accumulated, and she felt uncomfortable even scratching it.

"I'll fetch water for you to take a bath." Cheng Mu just got out of bed when Yun Yun stopped him.

The well water is precious, and no one knows when the well water will dry up.

Cheng Mu was completely awake. He brought a small basin of water for Yun Yun to wipe first, and he moved a stool to enjoy the shade in the yard.

The moon is big and round and full of stars. Tomorrow will undoubtedly be another sunny day.

Yun Yun washed her limbs in the room and felt better, so she called Cheng Mu in.Lying down this time, the two quickly fell asleep.

Who in the capital would worry about the water problem because of the drought, and those high-ranking officials and nobles would enjoy themselves as usual, and who would understand the suffering of the common people.

What is not done now is probably the reservoir on the mountain, but now there is a shortage of water, and the animals in the deep forest are starting to come out to drink water again. It is too dangerous to take Yun Yun to the mountain to take a bath. It is better that he takes two buckets up the mountain to pick up two buckets water back.

Cheng Mu didn't tell Yun Yun this idea, and while Yun Yun was taking a nap, he carried two buckets and a shovel and walked up the mountain for self-defense.

Walking along the familiar road, a lot of leaves have accumulated on the ground. In order to reduce water consumption, the big trees have shed large leaves.When passing by the wild fruit tree, Cheng Mu saw that the fruit tree looked half dead.The small fruit trees didn't take deep roots, didn't get enough water and wind, and consumed too much nutrients in the previous results. If they weren't watered, they might not survive for a few days.

Now people can't care about it, how can they care about trees.

Cheng Mu continued to walk forward, and from time to time, he could see wild deer scurrying around in the woods, all in order to drink water by the stream.

The small river where the snails were picked before had already dried up, and there was not much water left in the small reservoir where the fish were caught, only a shallow puddle.Cheng Mu continued to walk up for three or four miles until the river reached his knees.

He watched from a distance for a while, a wild wolf was drinking water, and there were other small animals waiting in the woods.He, too, had to wait when the grazing animals came to drink before he could go down to fetch water.

Mosquitoes were buzzing in the woods, and Cheng Mu waited for more than an hour under the cover of leaves, when a group of wild goats came to drink water, he came out of the woods and stood by the river to tentatively scoop a ladle of water.The wild goats were drinking water, so he had no time to take care of him, so he hurriedly poured it into the bucket.

His hands were scooping water, but his eyes were looking around. After a while, he found something dangerous on the opposite side.

The two buckets of water were almost full, Cheng Mu didn't hesitate, and went back into the woods with the water.

Seeing that there were no animals following up behind him, Cheng Mu breathed a sigh of relief.Just now he saw a group of porcupines moving in the woods. The porcupines are full of thorns. They are fierce by nature and love to attack people.If you are targeted, you will be lucky not to be stabbed to death by the porcupine's quill.

Cheng Mu was still vigilant and walked out. When he reached the side of the wild fruit tree, he stopped, put the water aside and covered it with big leaves, and started digging the tree.

When Yun Yun woke up, she saw that there was no one around, and she searched the whole house, but she didn't know where Cheng Mu went.

The goats and chickens are growing well, but the grass has withered recently, so they can only eat hay.

"Ayun, open the door!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Yun Yun hurried to open the door. Cheng Mu was carrying water at the door, and a tree was tied to his body.

Yun Yun quickly loosened the tree off Cheng Mu's body, and then helped carry the bucket.After entering the house, he wrote on the palm of his hand, "Where have you been? Why is there so much water?"

"I'll tell you later, take a bath with this water first."

It turned out that the water was for him to take a bath, and there were fruit trees, which seemed to be the one on the mountain, but most of the leaves had fallen off, so Cheng Mu had gone up the mountain!

"I don't wash it, the water is too precious."

"I just picked it because you were itchy. It's not easy to wash it once. I don't know when the next time I wash it this time."

Yun Yun still didn't want to, Cheng Mu worked so hard to pick him back, it's a pity to let him take a bath.

"A Yun, you feel bad, and I feel bad too. And I plan to water this tree with bath water. It will die sooner or later on the mountain. Whether it can survive here depends on luck."

It was this tree that he ate the fruit of. Yun Yun looked at this young sapling, which has been dug up now, and if it is not planted quickly, it will dry out and die.

"Hurry up and take a bath in the house, wash it clean, I will dig a hole in the yard and plant trees." Cheng Mu brought water into the house, closed the door and started planting trees in the yard.

Yun Yun cherished the two buckets of water very much, poured the water into a small basin, and slowly wiped her body, and finally washed it clean with only one bucket of water.

When he came out, Cheng Mu had already planted the tree, and he went into the house to pour the used water into the root of the tree.

"There is still a small bucket, you can wash it too."

Cheng Mu didn't expect Yun Yun to keep water for him, and he hadn't washed for a long time.After drying Yun Yun's wet hair with a sweat towel, Cheng Mu kissed Yun Yun's forehead and went into the room to take a bath.

Both buckets of water were poured into the roots of the tree, and the fruit tree stood upright in the ground. Cheng Mu combed Yun Yun's sun-dried hair with a wooden comb, and then tied it up with cloth strips.

"I hope this tree can survive, so that next year there will be fruit to eat."

"I will take good care of this tree."

Cheng Mu took Yun Yun's hand and kissed the back of it. Let this difficult time pass quickly.
