Seeing tears in his eyes, but annoyed and silent, Shen Ningsi finally couldn't help but sighed and said, "Come in with me."
How could she not feel sorry for the children's plight? But she felt even more sorry for their lives!
Lying on the bed, Shen Ningsi picked up the handkerchief beside her and carefully wiped Gu Xiuwu's wound. He subconsciously avoided it, but the next moment he stood there obediently.
Shen Ningsi said softly: “Don’t be angry that I don’t feel sorry for you.”
"I didn't! You're not my biological mother, so if you don't feel bad, then don't feel bad!"
Shen Ningsi increased the strength in his hands, and Gu Xiuwu suddenly cried out in pain and closed his mouth in disappointment.
Shen Ningsi then continued, "When you rush forward, think about your family. If you are injured, it's okay if you can just treat it normally. But if you are seriously injured, where can you be cared for these days? Only by protecting yourself can you protect your family. Food is important, but getting hurt for food is not worth it. Don't do such things again in the future, understand?"
snort!
Gu Xiuwu remained silent, obviously still angry!
Gu Yun'er had been frightened for the entire day, and when she saw her brother still in this state, she burst into tears.
"Wow, my second brother is hurt, it hurts! Wow~"
"Don't cry, I'm not hurt!" Gu Xiuwu's face immediately fell. He was the worst at coaxing people. He looked at his eldest brother as if for help, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he secretly glanced at Shen Ningsi.
Seeing this, Shen Ningsi was both angry and amused. He knocked on the table and said, "All of you come and sit down. I want to make three rules with you."
She looked at the three children and said, "Don't make similar mistakes again. When there's a huge disparity in strength between you and your opponent, you absolutely cannot rush into a fight. Everything must be done to protect yourself..."
Before Shen Ningsi finished speaking, Gu Xiuwu's eyes lit up and he asked, "What if I can beat him..."
“No way!”
Shen Ningsi twitched his eyebrows. Why did he feel that this child was on the path of becoming a dark villain and there would be no turning back?
"I don't object to you having the ability to protect yourselves, but I don't want you to use that ability to do evil. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Let's do our own things well and not rob others..."
Gu Xiuwu interrupted Shen Ningsi again, clenched his fists and shouted, "They are the ones who stole my things!"
On the side, Gu Yun'er quietly tugged at his clothes and said crisply, "Second brother, mother is talking about you guys stealing Uncle Wang Er's water."
this……
How does she know?
"Your Uncle Wang has come to our house. If it weren't for his friendship with your father, I'm afraid our family would be destroyed today."
Hearing this, Gu Xiuwu looked uncomfortable. That was the water he had snatched with his own skill! He said in a muffled voice, "At worst, I can just find the water and return it."
"Not only do you have to pay it back, you also have to apologize."
Gu Xiuwu clenched his fists. He had never learned how to apologize since he was a child! Humph!
Gu Xiuwen, on the other hand, said seriously, "I understand."
Well, this is a good child!
Shen Ningsi nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to speak, Yun'er beside him said coquettishly, "Mom said that we have to pay the interest of three more bowls of water to Uncle Wang Er's family. It's exactly one bowl a day, and it will be paid back within three days."
Then, Gu Yuner asked curiously, "Brother, what is interest?"
Before Gu Xiuwen could reply, Gu Xiuwu flew into a rage, shouting, "Are you crazy? I only took a basin of water from his house! Why should I return so much? It wasn't you who went looking for water, you don't know how difficult it is!"
That's water! It's more precious than food!
Gu Xiuwu clenched his fists, spinning in anger. If it weren't for the fact that Shen Ningsi had just given birth, he would have probably hit him with that little fist.
Even Gu Xiuwen frowned and said, "Wanning Village has been suffering from drought for nearly a year, and all the water near the village has dried up. We can only find water in the river in the neighboring village. But these days, the villagers are keeping a close eye on us and won't let us get water. When we went to the government office, we heard the officials there say that the river in the neighboring village is also going to dry up."
"If we want to find water again, we can only go to Black Cloud Village, ten miles away."
But they had just handed over the bandits from Heiyun Village to the government.
Ana Shen said, “I’ll find a way to deal with the water issue.”
"What can you do?" Gu Xiuwu stomped his feet in anger.
She actually has a way.
Shen Ningsi raised his eyebrows and said, “You guys follow me.”
As a 22nd-century doctoral student at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, well-versed in farming, she was not only skilled in farming but also in studying weather patterns. After all, the most crucial aspect of farming was the weather. She remembered learning a lot about water production during a year of participating in a research project to return to farming in the desert.
It is said that there are also methods used by soldiers.
For example, dig a one-meter-deep pit in the desert, place the helmet in the pit as a water container, and then put a piece of plastic film on top. Then wait for a few hours and water will condense.
The principle is very simple, which is to condense the moisture in the air into water. Of course, this will not work in the long run, but it is more than enough to solve urgent problems.
The desert was arid, and the air was unusually dry. But even though Wanning Village had been dry for nearly a year, the humidity was far better than in the desert. So she had nothing to worry about.
She brought Gu Xiuwen and others to the yard, squatted down, touched the ground under her feet, and said, "Dig."
“…”
What are you digging? The ground?
The three siblings looked at Shen Ningsi in silence, their expressions were inexplicably similar, but Gu Xiuwu's eyes looked like he was looking at an idiot.
"Are you still thinking of digging a well?"
If this were possible, with so many people in the village, they would have done it a long time ago!
What kind of a lousy idea is this? He shouldn't have believed it!
"If you want to dig, just do it slowly by yourself! Humph!" Gu Xiuwu turned around and left angrily.
Gu Xiuwen obviously also felt that Shen Ningsi was daydreaming, and said calmly: "I'll go see him."
"Hey! Don't go, just dig one meter!"
Shen Ningsi became anxious and tried to call them, but the two brothers invisibly quickened their pace.
Shen Ningsi sighed deeply and glanced at Gu Yuner beside him.
Gu Yuner pouted and burst into tears.
"Wuwu~ Mom, I... I miss Dad. Wuwu~"
Although she was still young when Gu Hong left, and could barely remember what he looked like, whenever she felt scared or sad, she would subconsciously miss that blurred figure.
At the same time, in a jungle a hundred miles away from Wanning Village, a team dressed as soldiers was heading towards Wanning Village.
"General, we'll be able to reach Wanning Village in three days at the shortest, five at the longest. Don't worry, with this ongoing drought, Wanning Village is faring much better than other places. I heard that in some places, people are already exchanging their own children for food."
“…”
