Chapter 104 It's just a scam
"I'm glad you're okay. Get up and rest first." Shen Yuefu looked at Liang Huanxue who was already fast asleep in her arms and gently kissed her on the head.
Then he carried her back to the house.
Liang Huanxue lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
"Huanxue seems to be sleeping soundly." But as soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of what happened before.
It was as if he was still in that strange place and couldn't escape.
"I'm so afraid that everything I see now is also fake." He could hardly tell the difference between truth and falsehood.
Shen Yuefu smiled and gently pinched his hand, "It's not fake, don't think about it, go to sleep."
Liang Huanxue leaned on her, and with his other hand holding Liang Huanxue, he felt a little relieved.
Today is still sunny.
Liang Huanxue woke up rubbing her eyes until noon.
Old Mrs. Liang had steamed some rice cakes. When she saw that she had woken up, she quickly took a few pieces for her to eat and also brought her a bowl of milk.
"Milk, where does this milk come from?" When there is no water to drink, milk becomes even more precious.
"It was given to her by the second aunt of the Niu family in front. She said that if you hadn't promised to give her a bucket of water that day, her cow would have died of thirst, so she brought the milk here specially. It was freshly squeezed this morning and is very fresh." Old Mrs. Liang knew that there were many people waiting outside to fetch water.
But she was not in a hurry. She had to wait until Huanxue had eaten and drunk well before going out.
Liang Huanxue ate some rice cakes, drank some milk, stretched herself, and went to the front yard to check on the few remaining chicks.
She put all the dying chicks into the space, and there were only three or four left in the chicken coop.
Under Liang Huanxue's careful care, nothing went wrong.
There were quite a few people standing outside the yard, and Liang Huanxue knew they were here to fetch water.
I guess it has been waiting for a long time. Even with such a bright sun, it would rather stay here and not go back.
I'm afraid if we stay any longer two of them will pass out.
Liang Huanxue pushed open the gate and waved her hand, "Come with me!"
She took out the water tank and put it back where it was before.
While they were fetching water, Liang Huanxue went back into the house and made a dozen bowls of mung bean soup. She deliberately added some ice water, which tasted icy and cool, and was especially refreshing.
Some people were reluctant to drink it and wanted to take it back home.
"Just remember to return the bowl to me." Her words immediately made the villagers laugh.
Liang Huanxue noticed a sneaky figure not far away and knew it was Shen He at a glance.
There must be something bad happening when she appears here.
Liang Huanxue winked at Nian Huayue.
Nian Huayue immediately walked over and said to Shen He, "What are you doing here?"
"What? You guys are so overbearing that you can't even let me pass by and take a look?" Shen He's attention was on Liang Huanxue, and he didn't notice Nian Huayue approaching.
was startled.
"Who knows what you want to do? What if you poison and frame Huanxue again?" Nian Huayue looked her up and down, especially her hands, looking at them again and again, fearing that there was something hidden in her hands.
"Who poisoned it? You all know who is at fault!" Shen He came here intending to use the same old trick again.
But I didn't expect that I would be discovered before I even started.
I can only escape in shame.
Liang Huanxue heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Shen He leave. After the rest of the people had drawn water, she took the water tank back.
There is only half of water left in the water tank, and I don’t know how long it can last.
Liang Huanxue's small face was filled with worry. "I want to go to the valley to have a look. Maybe I can find a new source of water."
"If there is still a water source, it would have been found long ago. Why is it our turn to look for it?" Nian Huayue still remembered that the village chief had brought a large group of people to search all the possible places.
"Isn't it because I didn't go with you?" Liang Huanxue didn't want to give up easily, she had to give it a try anyway.
Maybe we can find groundwater?
"Huanxue, it's getting dark, let's go back." Liang Huanxue was worried that there might be wild beasts.
With such bad weather, the beasts probably haven't had a full meal for a long time.
If he suddenly appeared, Liang Huanxue was not sure she could escape successfully.
It didn't matter if he got hurt, but Huanxue must not be hurt.
Liang Huanxue followed Liang Huanxue back to the foot of the mountain.
No one knew who had leaked the news that she was looking for water. Many villagers were waiting at the foot of the mountain. When they saw her coming, they hurriedly asked, "Did you find water?"
"How could she have such ability? You think too highly of her. She's just a child. She just had a little better luck, but you guys praise her to the sky." You can tell who the person is from this sour tone without even looking at the person.
Shen He stood at the front of the team, with her hands on her hips and a sarcastic look on her face.
"If it was so easy to find, we would have found it long ago. Would we still need to send Huanxue?" Grandma Sun came out to speak for Liang Huanxue.
"That's right. It's so easy to say. If you have the ability, go find one yourself!" Niu on the side also echoed.
"You know what, I do have a place to go now, and I can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing after you go there." Shen He seemed to have been waiting for someone to mention this.
As soon as Mrs. Niu finished speaking, she immediately took over.
When Liang Huanxue heard this, her heart sank.
She intuitively felt that what Shen He was going to talk about would not be a good place.
After hearing this, the villagers immediately surrounded Shen He and started asking questions.
Shen He described the place in great detail, as if it were a paradise on earth.
"Is there really such a place, and how could you happen to encounter it?" Nian Huayue did not doubt that there was such a place in the world, but she did not think that Shen He could have such luck.
"Of course I was able to find it because I was sincere enough. If you are willing, you can leave with me tomorrow morning and go to that place." Shen He ignored Nian Huayue and continued to lobby those who were interested in the "paradise on earth".
It hadn't rained for a long time, and life was becoming increasingly hard. It seemed that the country was on the verge of despair. Naturally, many people were interested in the place described by Shen He.
"If you are willing to follow her, I won't stop you. However, I'm not sure whether you can come back then." Nian Huayue didn't think that Shen He could really find such a paradise.
I'm afraid it's just a scam, just like Tagang Village.
Once you follow her, you may never see her again in your next life.
"Nian Huayue, you have no ability, so why do you doubt me? Even if your Liang family begs me to take you there, I won't agree. So don't worry about it." Shen He looked arrogant.
"Don't worry, this is something that we in the Liang family will never do in our lifetime. Even if I beg you, I won't stop you if you want to die. But don't take innocent people with you. You have to think it over. Do you really want to go with Shen He?"
Nian Huayue felt that she had said everything she wanted to say.
