Chapter 33 Water Thieves Enter the Village
"I knew I was right!"
Ye Yan'an smiled and turned around. When he saw the person behind him clearly, he jumped three feet high as if he had seen a ghost.
"Oh my god!"
"Hey, my dear son!" Luo Qiuyue smiled warmly and kindly, "Come here, let me take a good look at what's inside this cute little head of yours."
Ye Yan'an was so frightened that his crown flew off and his upper and lower teeth were chattering.
"Brother, save me..."
Ye Yanping looked up at the sky: "Hey! I'm so busy, I'm going to kill mosquitoes for Xiaojiu!"
"younger brother……"
Ye Yanshun looked down at the ground: "Hey! I'm busy too, go kill mosquitoes for Xiaowen and Xiaowu!"
Ye Yanan burst into tears: "Mom, I was really wrong..."
Luo Qiuyue smiled and said, "Is there a possibility that you are not wrong at all?"
Ye Yan'an was skeptical, "Ah? Really?"
Did he really guess right?
"Really, I was wrong. Come here, I promise I won't beat you to death."
"Mom, please forgive me!" Ye Yan'an knew that something bad was going to happen, so he ran away.
"Don't call me mom! I'm not your mom!" Luo Qiuyue roared like a lion, raising the broom in her hand high.
"I picked you up from the cesspool! When I found you, your head and mouth were full of shit! I didn't expect you to be the same even after you grew up! Go find your real mother, I don't want you anymore!"
The broom was dancing so fast that it was impossible to get through. Ye Yan'an was running away like a rat with his head in his hands. How miserable could he be?
"Dad! Dad! Help me! Mom is going to beat me to death!"
Dad, I offended Mom because of you!
I am your number one admirer!
"Qiuyue."
The handsome figure of a man appeared.
Luo Qiuyue paused.
Ye Yan'an's face lit up with joy.
Sure enough, I still have to rely on my dad at the critical moment!
"I've poured you a bath. You're tired of beating the child. Thank you for your hard work!"
After saying that, he turned and disappeared.
Ye Yanan:? ?
Ye Yanan:???
Ye Yanan:???????
"Ye Yan'an, keep yelling until your throat is broken. It would be best if you could call your biological parents over too!"
Luo Qiuyue pounced on him with great might.
She chased.
He escaped.
He couldn't escape even if he had wings.
Ye Yan'an was as tired as a dog and barking like a ghost.
Heartache (′-ω`)
This family seems to be getting too much?
Shouldn't he really learn more about his own background?
…
The sky was low and the stars were twinkling, and Heihe Village finally returned to peace.
If it weren't for the years of severe drought, if it weren't for the constant shadow of death, this would have been a peaceful and beautiful summer night that would make people fall into deep sleep.
But the current situation is turbulent and no one can really sleep well.
It was time for the patrol team in Heihe Village to change shifts. Although all the people on duty at night were women, everyone was very responsible.
The women were all at home dealing with pots and stoves, and suddenly they were able to come out and do something for the village. Everyone felt curious and happy.
"How is it? Nothing's wrong, right?"
"No, not even a mouse!"
Everyone thanked each other for their hard work, the previous group yawned and went back to rest, and this group began to stand guard behind the city wall.
Heihe Village is backed by a mountain, so only the wall needs to be built on the village entrance side. Today is the first day of building the wall, and the progress is slow. Now the wall is only as high as the threshold.
The women looked ahead and chatted softly, talking about the east and west. There was no better time to gossip than this.
Suddenly, a soft "creaking" sound was heard.
The women fell silent, squatting behind the wall and looking outside vigilantly.
After a while, a large group of strong men carrying wooden barrels appeared. They walked quietly and stealthily towards the village entrance.
"They must be here to steal water!"
"Don't be impatient, take a look first, don't alert the enemy."
The group of men walked over briskly and with ease.
"Wow! Heihe Village is actually building a city wall! These bastards have suddenly become smart!"
"Could it be that you discovered that the water was stolen?"
"Who cares? Let them build it. They build it during the day, and I'll tear it down at night!"
"Damn it! If anyone dares to guard against us, then no one will have a good life!"
The men chuckled triumphantly.
"Hurry up! We're going to make a big splash tonight. First, drain his reservoir, then knock down his wall!"
"Bang, bang, bang", what a sharp gong sound!
Even more piercing than the sound of the gong was the screams of a group of women.
"Thieves are coming!"
"Everyone come quickly!"
A large group of women suddenly appeared from nowhere, some holding hoes, some holding iron rakes, and some holding dung ladles from the pit toilet, and surrounded them.
"Damn it! There are still people guarding here at night! Get out!"
At the command of the leading man, the others rushed out frantically. They didn't take them seriously as they were just a few women.
But they underestimated the speed of Heihe Village. Men, women, young and old rushed to their front in an instant like a rushing mountain torrent.
The firelight illuminated the faces of the water thieves.
"They are from Jingui Village!" Someone recognized them immediately.
The leading man put down his burden and rubbed his hands in embarrassment and shame. "Brothers and sisters of Heihe Village, we are so sorry! We are not water thieves. We just heard that Heihe Village has more water than can be used, so we wanted to borrow some to solve our urgent needs. But before we could notify everyone, we were discovered! It was a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!"
"Borrow? Who would borrow something in the middle of the night?"
"Do you think the people of Heihe Village are stupid?"
"Do you believe what you say?"
…
"It's true that we were inconsiderate!" The leading man nodded and bowed. "I wonder if anyone here is the village head? Can I have a word with you?"
The village head stood in front of them and said, "You are a bunch of water thieves. You have no right to talk to me. Tell me the truth. How many times have you come here to steal water?"
"How many times?" The man pretended to be surprised. "No! Tonight is the first time!"
"You're lying! This isn't the first time you've come here to steal water!"
"You said you were going to do something big tonight, drain our reservoir and knock down our walls!"
"You guys are not having a good time, so don't even think about having a good time!"
The women on patrol repeated what they had just heard.
The people in Heihe Village were furious when they heard this!
"These bastards are so vicious!"
"They don't have any water themselves! And they want to drag us down with them!"
The man refused to admit it, "You must have misheard us. We are all old acquaintances from all over the place. How could we say such nonsense?"
"Who are you guys? Get out of here!"
"If you don't get out of here, I'll beat you to death!"
The villagers raised their fists.
The man suddenly knelt down, and the others followed suit.
"We are here to borrow water sincerely. The village well has dried up, and the elderly and children at home can't stand it any longer. If we don't drink water, we will die!
People are all made of flesh and blood. The Heihe Village cannot stand by and watch people die. Please have mercy on us and give us a way to survive. We don’t want much, just a bucket of water per person!
