Cai Junze recovered a lot after resting for two days.
The wound on Yang'er's forehead also healed.
"Yang'er, do you want to go to the Prince's Mansion to study with Master Geng?" Cai Junze asked him.
Yang Er nodded and said, "Dad, if we don't go for two days and we haven't told the teacher, will the teacher think that we don't want to study with him anymore?"
Cai Junze touched the injured spot on his son's head and said, "No, I told him before that if we can't go, it means we have other things to do. Master Geng is a very sensible person and will understand."
Then I asked him, "Does it still hurt?"
Yang Er shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore!"
Asked his father: "Daddy, does it still hurt?"
Cai Junze smiled and said, "Daddy doesn't feel any pain anymore."
Liu Shuting came in from outside, looked at the father and son, and said, "Do you want me to take you there?"
Then he explained, "I'm a little worried that Niu Jiashi will find a chance to retaliate against you."
Cai Junze said: "No need, Niu Jiashi is also injured, and he shouldn't be making any moves recently."
Liu Shuting was still a little worried, and said solemnly, "It's hard to say. That man is a madman. It seems he can do anything. Especially now, with the severe drought and food shortage, many people are starving. People like him are likely to do crazy things. I think it's better to be cautious."
Cai Junze thought about it and felt that it made sense. He said, "But, it would be too much trouble for you to deliver it."
Liu Shuting said, "It's okay. There's nothing to do at home. I'm just idle. Why not send you and Yang'er to the county town? At least I can keep you safe."
Cai Junze smiled and said, "My aunt needs company too!"
Liu Shuting said, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are at home."
Cai Junze said: "It's different. You are you, and her parents are her parents."
Then he said, "Uncle, you don't have to worry about me. When I go out, I'll hide a knife on me. If Niu Jiashi dares to provoke me, I'll stab him with a few knives."
Finally, he persuaded his uncle to stay at home.
Then, he took Yang'er out.
On the way, he was still quite vigilant.
There was indeed a knife hidden on his body!
Prince's Mansion.
Li Fangming noticed some bruises on Cai Junze's face and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Junze, your face looks like this... did you get into a fight?"
Cai Junze touched his nose, smiled bitterly, and said, "Yes."
Then I told him what happened on the way back two days ago.
Hearing this, Li Fangming frowned.
After that, he sent people to secretly protect Cai Junze and Yang'er.
However, he did not tell Cai Junze about this.
It was also from this day that Cai Junze accompanied Yang'er to study during the day and practiced calligraphy himself. When he came back at night, he would train with Liu Shuting and sweat profusely.
Liu Shuting is quite strict when it comes to training.
Well, this is what Liu Shulin requested.
And then, everything just went on like this day after day...
In a blink of an eye, it’s October.
The water in the well was almost dry, and there was a water crisis. Liu Shulin proposed the idea of digging the well deeper.
Liu Shuting: "Sister, leave this to me!"
After getting the tools, I went down the well and started digging.
After digging for a few days, he found water. Moreover, he felt that there seemed to be an extremely rich amount of water underground. He continued digging for a few more days and was surprised:
“There’s actually a river down there!”
He dug out a cave below, and when he entered the cave, he saw that there was actually a river inside!
This is an underground river, winding and rugged. No one knows where it comes from or where it goes. It gives people a very magical feeling!
In her previous life, Liu Shulin dug out this underground river, so she was not surprised by this.
This river is quite high from the ground and hidden very deep.
Perhaps, because it was hidden so deeply, the two-year drought had little impact on its formation.
Father and Mother Xia were also very excited to see the river dug out from underground.
"Now, we have water to use again!" Mother Xia sighed. In the past few days, she had been worried about the water problem. She didn't dare to use water much and tried to save it as much as possible. She was really worried that the water would run out and it would be the end of her.
Father Xia also said: "Yes, I hope the water in this river will not dry up."
Other families in the village also dug deeper wells, and then they also discovered underground rivers...
For a moment, the village was in an uproar!
Everyone is celebrating the discovery of water!
Finally, I don’t have to worry about having no water to drink!
Niu Jiashi's injuries had recovered by this time.
The lost eye can never be recovered.
Recently, he often went to Changhe Village to hide, hoping to steal something. However, there were always people patrolling Changhe Village, and he had no chance to do anything.
However, during these few days of hibernation, he heard that the people in Changhe Village dug a well and found a river underneath.
So, after returning, he also went to dig a well.
After digging for a few days...
Sure enough, there is a river deep underground!
He did not tell other people in the village about this discovery.
He wished that everyone else in the village would die of thirst!
At this time in Wupo Village, some families had already fled to escape the famine, but the vast majority stayed.
Seeing that there seems to be no end to the drought, food is in serious shortage, and the water in the well is almost dry, the villagers are quite desperate and see no hope.
Some families, in order to reduce the burden, directly dropped their newborn babies to death...
