Liu Shihu, the old hunter, also stayed behind to guard the place with Xu Fugui.
Liu Shinan and Yang Nianhua also needed to buy water, so they pushed a wheelbarrow to meet up with Liu Yuhan and the others. They went to the place they had previously arranged to buy water.
There is water in Liu Yuhan's space, but where can he find a hidden place?
The group walked towards the south of the city, where they saw several deep wells managed by the county government. They should be groundwater or something, as there was no shortage of water in that area.
The county government officials controlled the water sales, and even said that this was to prevent riots, and the money earned was used to treat the victims. I really don’t know how to put it... Treat the victims? Why didn’t we see any food or porridge distributed at the city gates?
After hearing this, Old Lady Jiang scolded them.
He is truly a good public servant of the people, and he goes wherever there is money.
There were many people lining up to buy water. A large wooden spoon could fill a water bag. The price was 30 wen each, which was an exorbitant price!
There were more than 400 people in their famine-stricken group, and they had taken about 200 water bags from their wheelbarrows. The remaining five taels of silver were still a little short.
Looking at such a long line, Liu Yuhan asked her father to trick her uncle away, and she, her mother and grandmother went to find a place to get water.
Yang Nianhua was dragged away like this. He suddenly realized that he didn't understand this younger brother at all. Not only did he not leave any buns for his family when he ate them, but now he actually left three women behind!
Yang Nianhua decided to go back and talk to his wife and let her have a good chat with his younger brother.
Liu Yuhan took his mother and grandmother to a remote alley. There was a dilapidated door in the alley. When they pushed the door open, there was no one inside, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
The three of them checked inside to make sure no one was there. Liu was guarding the door, while Liu Yuhan was in a room. He brought two wheelbarrows into the space and began pouring water non-stop, filling up all 200 water bags.
He also took the smaller of the two water jars taken from the bandits, cleaned it, filled it with water, and made space for it.
Liu was pushing a wheelbarrow with a water tank slowly. Liu Yuhan had covered the water tank with a wooden lid and a piece of gray cloth on top.
Liu Yuhan and her grandmother were pushing a wheelbarrow filled with water bags. It was quite heavy.
I went to the place where I had agreed to meet Liu Shinan, and sure enough, I saw him and Yang Nianhua coming over.
Yang Nianhua always felt that it was not appropriate and insisted on coming to find his mother-in-law and the others. Liu Shinan saw that it was almost time and followed them.
Before Yang Nianhua could even wonder why they had bought the water so quickly, her mother-in-law told her to push the cart.
The group met up with a few people at the city gate.
When they walked out of the city gate, they didn't stop when they saw the villagers. They asked the village chief to tell people to follow them. Didn't they see that a group of people at the city gate were eyeing the things in their car?
They stopped to rest in the woods beside the official road ten miles away from the city gate.
