Chapter 78 The Second Young Master's Smile

If we don’t separate them today, won’t we just wait to die of thirst?

For a moment, no one dared to speak. It made sense for Miao Daxing, who usually loved to make trouble, to remain silent at this time, because he didn't even look down on the bowl of water at all, and he had other plans in his mind.

Seeing that no one was talking nonsense anymore and six of the seven crying gourd brothers had already distracted themselves and started talking about other things, Lai Fu immediately ordered: "Divide the water."

The water distribution is carried out in an orderly manner, and the next step is to queue up.

This was something Wang Dafeng liked to do, so she went there with a dog-beating stick.

Ding Gui finally had time to find his wife and daughter: "Hey, Bao'er, what's wrong with you?"

He could tell at a glance that his daughter seemed unhappy. Ding Xiaodie sighed, "If we had used that cuckoo machine earlier, Miao Wang's father might have..."

"Don't say that. I know you all mean well, but Miao Wang's father has been ill for a long time. Besides, his family isn't so poor they can't even have a sip of water. How can we just watch our pillar of the family die of thirst? Right?"

Ding Gui gently hugged his daughter.

"You said Laiwang's father has always been ill?"

"Yes, I also heard from Dayou before. Dayou and his family are relatives, so he knows it very well. He was not feeling well before he left to escape the famine. He saw a doctor, and he seemed to have a problem with his lungs. Later, if it weren't for the children at home, he would have just held on!"

"I see!"

Ding Xiaodie let out a long sigh.

But her brows were still furrowed. Although this matter had nothing to do with her, it reminded her of one thing: how important medicine was in ancient times.

"Xiaodie!"

Suddenly an excited voice sounded not far away.

Turning around, I saw Lu Xingluo walking towards me with a smile on his face. He was wearing a light purple robe today, and even his headband was purple, making him look even more refined.

"Second Young Master." Ding Xiaodie hurriedly learned how to greet him like the servants of the Lu family.

"Don't be polite. I never care about that."

It was as if Lu Xingluo was never unhappy. Whenever he appeared, she would be in good spirits. However, she then looked towards Lai Fu's door curiously: "What are they doing?"

Why are all the villagers gathered together?

Ding Xiaodie knew that she couldn't keep this a secret any longer. If she did, it would only backfire. So she simply said, "Uncle Lai Fu led everyone up the mountain today and actually found a water source. He brought back a few buckets, and now everyone is lining up to share the water!"

"real?"

Lu Xingluo was amazed: "Dayun Mountain is so dry that even the leaves have turned yellow. It's really a miracle that we can still find water."

Ding Xiaodie suppressed her laughter and said, "Of course not."

At this moment, Ding Gui, Zhang Xiucai and Lu Xingluo said hello, and then returned to the group of villagers. They should not interfere in other people's children's affairs, and give them some space.

Ding Xiaodie secretly sweated: "..."

"By the way, why are you here?" Looking up, she found Uncle Jiu standing across the street, holding the horse's reins in his hand. Perhaps the horse was too hot, so he stood under a dead tree that didn't provide much shade.

"I just came to ask if you found a water source. Now that you have, I feel much more at ease!"

"By the way, if we find a water source, we should give your Lu family a share."

Only then did Ding Xiaodie remember with shame that finding a water source meant they couldn't keep it all to themselves. How could they forget the favor the Lu family had done them?

The village chief was probably so happy that she forgot about it. But just as she was about to go in and tell him, Lu Xingluo stopped her and said, "No need, no need. We have a water source at home." He then lowered his voice and said, "Our Lu family has an ice cellar that never melts. We've been shipping ice in from outside for years, and this year, my father anticipated a natural disaster early on, so he stored ice and water. We should have no problem using it for a few months."

Ding Xiaodie was surprised, wow, this... is really rich!

But then she said seriously: "Second Young Master, please don't say this kind of thing to others casually again."

"I understand, but I trust you." Lu Xingluo smiled, revealing his white teeth. He really had a good appearance, but in Ding Xiaodie's eyes, he was just like a little brother. Although he was taller than her and older than the original owner, his purity and innocence made her own immaturity appear everywhere.

"You can't even trust me from now on." She shook her head and sighed, "Kid, you should be more careful!"

There are so many people around, no one knows whether each of them has a red heart or a black heart, but if a word of his words leaks out, it will put the Lu family in danger.

Just when Lu Xingluo was about to say something, Miao Wang's family started howling again.

You'll feel energetic again after a break. Now Miao Wang's mother is holding an empty bowl and crying that there are too many children in the family and too little water, not enough to drink. She hopes the whole family will die of thirst!

"What, not enough to drink?"

"Do we have enough to drink?"

"That's right. We all save this sweet water to drink. These wolf cubs of yours have no conscience at all. They are all selfish and just want to drink their fill."

Amidst the villagers' curses, Lu Xingluo asked curiously, "What happened?"

When had he ever seen such a quarrel among rural people? He even thought it was very interesting.

Ding Xiaodie told him the tragedy that happened in Miao Wang's family.

After hearing this, Lu Xingluo actually said, "It's not difficult. I'll go help his family."

"no."

Ding Xiaodie's forehead was covered with sweat: "I can't help."

"Why?"

"Go back with Uncle Jiu quickly. Ask him why he can't help. The Miao Wang family's affairs will be handled by our village."

As Ding Xiaodie finished speaking, a gentle voice sounded behind her like a ghost: "Xiaodie, isn't this the Second Young Master?"

Just when everyone's attention was focused on the water, Ding Mei spotted the second young master who was watching the fun from behind the crowd. She happily ran home, put on some makeup and rouge, and ran back.

Ding Xiaodie, who heard the sound at this moment, turned around and was so scared that she screamed. She patted her chest and said, "Second sister, what are you doing? If Ding Xiang hadn't been standing next to you, I wouldn't have dared to recognize you."

It's so scary. The face is painted white and the two blushes look like monkey butts.

Her purpose is obvious, a young girl in love, but it's just too much, right?

Seeing her reaction, Ding Mei twitched her lips awkwardly. She thought she was quite beautiful and even called out, "Second Young Master."

"laugh!"

Lu Xing looked at her and actually laughed: "Xiaodie, your second sister is really interesting."

“…”

What is interesting?

In his eyes and heart, it was just fun, but for Ding Mei, oh my, it was too much, she would mistakenly think that Lu Xingluo liked her.

Ding Xiaodie was confused. It was said that men in ancient times matured early and got married early. What was wrong with this second young master? Was he too naive?
