The two little girls from the Su family looked weak, but they were very cruel when they killed people.
She didn't dare to bring bad luck upon herself.
Da Zhuang's mother didn't agree, so Da Zhuang started making trouble again.
He pointed at Daya and said, "Mom, if you don't dare to go, let this money-loser go."
In order to appease Da Zhuang, naturally, whatever he said was what it came down to.
"You silly girl, didn't you hear what your brother said? Go quickly. If you can't get water, don't come back."
When the head of the village was asked for water by Da Zhuang's mother, someone also asked Su Yin's family for water.
"Su girl, I really have no choice." The person who spoke was Yang Youcai's wife.
"The dew I collected these days is of no use at all. If there is any way, I will not ask for it."
She wiped her tears gently with her sleeve.
Su's mother was somewhat moved, but she didn't say anything.
Su Yin said, "Aunt Youcai, it's not that I don't want to give it to you. It's just that my family doesn't have much water. If there is any extra, we will definitely help. You should know what kind of character I am after all this time."
"Can't it be distributed more evenly? We only need a little bit." Yang Youcai's wife begged.
Su Yin looked embarrassed, "Really? I'm starting to think about whether I should keep my mule. If I keep it, there will be no water for it to drink."
As she said this, she sighed heavily.
Yang Youcai's wife was not the kind of person who would make a fuss. After hearing her say this, she stopped pestering her.
When she came to the Su family, many people were watching her secretly. After seeing that she returned empty-handed, those who originally wanted to try to please her gave up the idea.
As soon as Yang Youcai's wife left, Daya followed timidly behind, hesitating to move forward. She lowered her head and kept twirling her sleeves with her fingers.
She looked at Su Yin, then at her parents behind her.
When she turned her head, she met her mother's fierce eyes, urging her to go over.
She didn't want to make things difficult for Sister Su Yin, but she also knew that if she didn't go, she would be beaten up when she returned.
She hesitated and struggled, as if there were iron leads under her feet, preventing her from taking that one step.
After a moment, she made a decision and turned back.
Da Zhuang's mother had been staring at Daya, and when she saw that the girl came back without leaving, her anger rose.
"Mom, I don't..."
Before she could even utter the word "dare", she was slapped in the face and fell to the ground.
"You are such a money-loser. Now you don't even listen to me."
"If I had known this, I should have drowned you in the water when you were born, so that you wouldn't waste food here."
Aunt Wang, who was walking in front of them, turned around and helped Daya up from the ground.
The tiny person had scratches on her arms and legs, and when my hand touched her arm, it felt like I was grabbing a piece of skin and bones.
"Da Zhuang's mother, that's enough. Water is scarce in every household right now, so how can we have extra water to give out? If I ask you to give it, will you give it? You don't dare to go yourself, so why make things difficult for a child?"
"I'm disciplining my own child, why do you care?"
"I'll take care of it in front of me."
Seeing that the two were about to start a fight, the men on both sides hurriedly spoke out to stop them, preventing the situation from escalating further.
They walked for more than two hours, and it was not until noon that Yang Lizheng let the people rest.
When they heard about taking a break, everyone immediately found a shady place to rest.
Su Yin helped Su's mother down from the mule cart and helped her walk under the tree.
Everyone looked worried.
"The sun is shining brightly now. Let's rest for an incense stick before leaving."
Yang Lizheng gave the order.
Just after he finished speaking, Yang Lizheng looked at his second son Yang Lu and said, "Second son, take a few people to look around the area during this break to see if you can find some water."
Yang Shou disagreed, "Dad, look at how dry the trees are around here. There must be no water. It would be better to let my second brother and the others have a good rest, save some energy, sweat less, and they won't get thirsty so quickly."
Yang Lu had the same idea, "Dad, we can't go too far in this short time, so going back and forth is useless."
Yang Lizheng's face darkened, "If I tell you to go, then go."
Yang Lu had no choice but to go against his father, "Okay, I'll go, I'll go."
"Wait a minute, look for someone, don't look for anyone else, try to find the few families who came into the city before."
These families have the most stored water in the entire Xinghua Village. They can still survive for a while, but others are not so lucky.
If they can't find water, this team will be in trouble sooner or later.
Yang Lizheng was worried.
He knew that he couldn't walk far in a stick of incense, and he also knew that it would be extremely difficult to find water in this area. But even so, he had to do it.
He has to calm people's hearts.
Yang Lu was the first to find Yang Dashan.
When Old Lady Zhang heard this, she didn't wait for Yang Dashan to speak, "We won't go. It's so hot, and we've been walking all day. Our legs are almost broken. We finally got a rest, but now you're asking people to go out again."
Yang Lu smiled awkwardly.
When he came, he didn't expect anything from the Zhang family.
During the time they spent together, they knew exactly what kind of person Old Lady Zhang was.
He looked at Yang Dashan, "Brother Dashan, what do you say?"
Yang Dashan stood up and said, "I'll go."
Yang Dashan's wife disagreed, but since the man had spoken, she did not stop him.
Yang Lu skipped Su Yin and went straight to Yang the Butcher and Yang Dashu.
"Uncle Yang Fu, where are you going?"
"While everyone is resting, let's go look around to see if there is any water."
Su Yin took a look at the surrounding environment. There were strange rocks in the distance, and many trees survived between the rocks. This kind of karst landform is not easy to store water. When rain falls, it will flow underground and form groundwater.
"I'm afraid there's no water here."
Yang Lu sighed, "That's what I said, but my father insisted, so I had to go along with him."
Su Yin thought for a moment and understood Yang Lizheng's intention.
"I will go with you."
"No, no, just rest here."
"fine."
Seeing that she insisted, Yang Lu stopped persuading her.
Su Baozhu said, "How about I go."
"I'll catch the bus and have some time to rest, but you don't know how to catch the bus. You'll keep walking and need to rest."
Everyone in the village heard that Yang Lu, Su Yin, Yang Dashan, Yang the Butcher and Yang Dashu were going to look for water nearby.
Some people also want to go, but when they think about the fact that their own water supply has run out, they realize that this activity will consume a lot of energy and it will be difficult to endure.
The five people went into the forest and divided into two teams.
Su Yin, Yang Dashan and Yang the Butcher are in one group, and Yang Lu and Yang Dashu are in another group.
The first group walked towards the west, and the other group walked in the opposite direction.
There are not many trees on the hills in this area, but there are many protruding rocks, with trees and rocks interspersed.
Su Yin stood on one of the stones, looking into the distance, and her eyes were attracted by a tree.
