Niu Lili was very happy when she heard that Qi Xiaoyan had passed the exam!

Before Village Chief Qi came to pick them up, Niu Dajun had already found an ox cart to take Qi Xiaoyan and He Tiantian home.

The grain that He Tiantian asked Niu Lili to buy for her was also loaded on the oxcart.

"Not bad, not bad." Village Chief Qi was very happy when he heard that his daughter had passed the exam, which diluted the sadness on his face.

Seeing that her father had not been in good spirits these days, Qi Xiaoyan thought he was worried about her. She smiled and comforted her: "Dad, my exam went very well. I have made you worried these days."

"My daughter is so good, I'm not worried." Village Chief Qi said proudly, driving the bullock cart back.

"Then why are you so tired these days?" Qi Xiaoyan asked worriedly. The weather was really hot and she kept wiping the sweat from her head.

Village Chief Qi didn't want to spoil the fun, but when he saw his daughter's concerned eyes, he sighed and said, "Hey, from the Chinese New Year to now, not a drop of rain has fallen in our TY County!"

He Tiantian was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered this.

In Huai City, although it is drought, it is much better than here in TY County.

Something big is going to happen in TY County!

He Tiantian felt a headache when she thought of the nervous little turtle in the barrier! Because Qi Xiaoyan was taking the exam, she was also anxious and nervous, and she forgot about the little turtle in the barrier who kept shouting that she was hungry.

"Are we really going to cause a disaster?" Qi Xiaoyan frowned and looked around. There was no water in the river, and the trees were listless and dying.

"Our village is okay. The snow on the mountains has melted, and we can still get some water to irrigate the ground. But there is only so much snow in the back mountains, and it is almost gone. There will be more places to use water in the future, so what should we do?" Qi Cun This is what worries me!

He Tiantian said nothing, thinking about how to appease the little turtle after returning.

She always felt that the little spinner turtle was pretending to be crazy. In the face of drought, it might have a solution, but it didn't say anything!

After I go back tonight, I will torture the nervous little spinner turtle together with the snake king.

Everyone's good mood was somewhat diluted by the drought.

"Okay, there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Xiaoyan, you don't have to worry about your family. You can go to the army with peace of mind." Village Chief Qi comforted him. It was rare for his daughter to get her wish, so she couldn't be unhappy anymore.

Qi Xiaoyan also knew that she couldn't help, so she could only comfort her father and said, "Dad, I get paid for my work. I will send it all to you. Maybe the life at home will be better."

"These are not things you should worry about. As long as you work hard, it will be the greatest comfort to dad." Village Chief Qi said with a smile, his simple face full of love, which made He Tiantian envious.

It’s great to have mom and dad!

It’s better to have mom and dad around!

By the time we arrived at Qijia Village, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon!

Compared with other places, the crops in Qijia Village's fields have sprouted, but they are dry due to lack of water.

First, He Tiantian was sent back to Grandma Qi San’s house, and He Tiantian moved down two bags of grain.

Seeing He Tiantian's foresight, Village Chief Qi thought about going back, sorting out the tickets and money at home, and buying food.

Grandma Qi San was very happy to see He Tiantian back and made brown sugar eggs for He Tiantian.

After He Tiantian ate the eggs, Grandma Qi San whispered: "Tiantian girl, put these bags of grain in the cellar."

"Okay." He Tiantian agreed. In times of famine, food is life!

He Tiantian picked up a bag and sent it to the cellar that she usually used not far from the kitchen.

"It's not that cellar." Grandma Qi San reminded in a low voice, "Come with me."

Grandma Qi San took He Tiantian around to the cowshed in the backyard and whispered, "Push the cow trough to the left. The cellar is under the cowshed."

He Tiantian was stunned and asked, "There are two cellars at home?"

"Yes, we usually use the cellar in the front yard. The one at the back is for hiding things." Grandma Qi San said, "We put some of the food we received from the team in the cellar in the front yard, but you The ones we bought can’t be left there. At this critical moment, these two bags of food are our life-saving food!”

He Tiantian entered the cowshed and pushed the trough hard, but found that it couldn't be pushed!

"Why are you in a hurry?" Grandma Qi San said with a smile. After saying that, she came in with a cane and kicked the three-inch golden lotus on an inconspicuous stone in the corner. The stone shrank a little, "It's OK now! "

"Oh, grandma, you still have a mechanism at home!" He Tiantian said in surprise, she has gained a lot of experience.

"This was originally my family's old house. I knew there was a cellar in the house, but I didn't know where it was. My brothers and sisters have all left and gone to the city to find a future. I didn't leave. I served my parents. My father was here. She told me that she had this cellar at home before she died," Grandma Qi San explained, "Only my husband and I know about this place. Now that you are my granddaughter, I tell you so that I won't be useless one day. People know this place.”

He Tiantian hesitated. Such a high-end cellar, and it was also a dense cellar in the house of the largest landowner in TY County, so it must not be empty inside.

"Grandma, this is the secret place of your ancestors, why don't you bring me here?" He Tiantian hesitated, after all, Grandma Qi San still has descendants.

"Okay, you are my granddaughter, why is it bad?" Grandma Qi San said, "Hurry up and push that trough again. It's broad daylight now, we have to hurry up!"

He Tiantian saw that Grandma Qi San insisted that she didn't want to take possession of the contents anyway, so she pushed the trough with openness. Sure enough, she could push it. There was a black hole three feet long and more than a foot wide, with stones inside. Ladder made of bricks.

Grandma Qi San went down carefully, took a match and lit the oil lamp on the cellar wall.

This is no longer a cellar, it should be considered a secret room!

He Tiantian moved two bags of food down and then took a closer look at the secret room.

There are more than thirty steps from the staircase, which shows that there is a height of ten meters from the ground to the bottom of the secret room. If you don’t know where the mechanism is, you can’t dig it out even if you dig three feet into the ground.

Under a few dim oil lamps, He Tiantian discovered that there were actually two rooms in this secret room.

One was filled with household items, pots and pans, as if to live a good life, and the other was tightly closed, presumably to place some valuables.

He Tiantian was curious, but didn't ask.

"Grandma, the food is put away, let's go up." He Tiantian said, the secret room had not been ventilated for a long time, and the smell was not good.

Seeing that there was no greed in He Tiantian's eyes, Grandma Qi San felt more relieved and said, "Tiantian girl, I will take you to that room to have a look."

He Tiantian was stunned, quickly shook her head and refused: "Grandma, although I am curious, after all, this is something from your ancestors. It is not appropriate for me to see it."
