"How can this be possible!"
Zhou Ergui said loudly, "It is impossible for the villagers to agree to this. This is..."
Song Yuehua said, "We are just a group of farmers. Facing the army of the Mo Kingdom, it is undoubtedly like an egg hitting a stone. Only by risking our lives can we have a hope of survival."
Zhou Dafu patted Zhou Ergui on the shoulder and said, "Ergui, let's talk to everyone about this matter. No matter what, we have to get them to agree. Nothing is more important than being alive."
Zhou Ergui covered his forehead and sighed heavily.
The next day, Zhou Dafu called the remaining villagers to hold a meeting in the big house.
They went in in the morning and came out in the evening. Song Yuehua, Ji Ming and others were on duty on the top of the tower wall.
It was not until the next evening that Zhou Dafu came to inform Song Yuehua that everyone in the village agreed.
Song Yuehua looked at his tired face and asked, "Uncle Dafu, come in and have a cup of tea."
"OK."
Zhou Dafu was not polite at all. He drank up the whole pot of tea after entering, and then he said happily, "In fact, the people in our village are quite reasonable."
"That's right."
There were a lot of things to prepare, and from that day on the villagers became busy again.
Zhou Dafu and Zhou Ergui led the villagers to move stones, dig pits, set up nets, and set up rolling logs outside the village.
When Zhou Dafu held a meeting with the villagers in the big house, he did not tell the truth. He used the name of a cult and talked until he was hoarse before he got the villagers to agree to their plan.
Even though the cult was scary, the village had won before, so although everyone was nervous, they were actually quite motivated.
Although the term "cult" could deceive the villagers, it was still difficult to deceive Zhang Rushan.
Song Yuehua and Duan Yidao had no choice but to tell the truth.
Zhang Rushan was stunned for a moment.
Ji Ming was rarely able to speak, and he paused, "The imperial court... fought here from the border..."
Seeing the two men's appearance, Gou Wa Zi asked, "Can we survive?"
"Maybe..." Zhang Rushan said.
Gou Wazi heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's OK as long as I don't die."
He had just gotten married and hadn't even had a baby yet, so how could he bear to see her die?
Zhang Rushan continued, "If they really attack, everyone in our village might die."
Dog boy, "..."
"If there is no way to make a living, then find one. What Daya is doing now can't be useless." Erguotou asked while holding his face.
Song Yuehua hummed and said, "This matter needs to be kept secret. Now, apart from us, only Master Duan, Uncle Dafu and Uncle Ergui know about it. You guys should keep your mouth shut."
Speaking of Duan Yidao, Erguotou asked again, "Where has the master been these days?"
Song Yuehua said vaguely, "Master Duan has his own things to do."
The current problem to be solved is the water shortage. Since Mr. Duan came back, he has been busy diverting water. It is estimated that it will take some time.
The next day, Erguotou and Gouwazi acted as if nothing had happened. After practicing martial arts, they went back to work for the village.
Only Ji Ming came over to ask Song Yuehua, "If the Mo people attack us, where are you going to escape to?"
"Fight hard." Song Yuehua sat on the stone steps, picked up a small stone, threw it upward with force, and the stone flew out of the yard wall.
Ji Ming snorted and laughed, staring into the distance, "I wanted to escape yesterday. With my current abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to find a safe place, but I still have my grandma, my uncle, my cousin, Zhang Dandan, his mother, Tangyuan, and his grandma."
"Song Yuehua, do you think that people take root in this way without realizing it?"
"Originally I was just a little beggar you brought back because I had a fever. How did I end up here? Family, relatives, friends, such a good place, it would be such a pity if it was destroyed!"
Song Yuehua hummed lightly and said, "I understand you."
While the two were talking, Zhang Rushan knocked on the door and came in. Judging from his expression, it seemed that he had not slept all night.
"Daya, have you left any way out?" Zhang Rushan stared straight at Song Yuehua.
Song Yuehua, "..."
Ji Ming was also stunned for a moment and said, "Zhang Rushan, what are you talking about?"
"I just..."
Zhang Rushan rubbed his eyes and said, "My parents, grandma, I want to leave a way out for them. I think you...maybe, you can leave a way out for Dabao and Xiaobao..."
Zhang Rushan sat down dejectedly with his head hung.
He thought about it all night last night. If there was anyone who could find a way to survive, among the hundreds of people in the village, he could only come to one conclusion, and that was Song Yuehua.
Apart from her, no one else has this ability or capability.
Song Yuehua sighed and said, "Things haven't come to this point yet. Instead of thinking about how to survive, we should think about how to keep everyone alive."
Zhang Rushan glanced at her and hummed dejectedly.
Ji Ming put his hand on Zhang Rushan's shoulder and said, "You are the first Tongsheng master I know. Make good use of your ability. Whether our village can survive depends on you."
"Shut up!" Zhang Rushan pushed him.
While the two were not paying attention, Song Yuehua wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. This was also the reason why she was reluctant to tell them the truth so soon.
After another half a month, many elderly people who stayed in the village fell ill. Grandma Xi came out from the compound to help these elderly people with their treatment, but many of them still did not survive.
Song Yuehua asked if it was because of the water. Granny Xi nodded and gestured for a long time. The general idea was that the drought lasted too long. The elderly already had some health problems. When they encountered such a long drought, the minor problems turned into major problems...
Several elderly people died one after another as if they had agreed to do so, and some who had been ill for a long time were unwilling to waste water and boil medicine.
After learning about this situation, many people in the compound returned to the village to take care of the old man for his last period of time.
Lin's father, Lin Lizheng, also fell ill, and Grandma Xi had to run around in and out during this period, which was very tiring.
In order to help these people treat their illnesses, Ji Ming was afraid that he would exhaust himself, so he went to find Zhou Dafu that day and asked him to think of a solution.
Song Yuehua was also afraid that Grandma Xi would get sick, so after discussing with Uncle Dafu, they decided to send the sick elderly people to the compound.
"No need."
Old Man He said in a light voice, "It's been three years. I didn't expect that I could make it this far. Daya, it's all thanks to you!"
The He family members in the yard began to sob. He Lei was pushed by his father and knelt at the door.
"I am satisfied to be able to leave in such a dignified manner..." Old Man He's voice weakened.
"Grandpa!"
He Lei knelt down and rushed forward. His family members put their hands under his nose and he died.
The entire He family burst into tears.
Song Yuehua went to a few more families, but only a few were willing to move into the compound. The remaining elderly people were taken care of by their families.
In the following days, Song Yuehua went to Bugui Mountain every night to bury bamboo pipes with Master Duan. After working day and night for more than half a month, they finally brought water.
The water flow is not strong, just enough. Recently, old people have died in the village every now and then.
Zhou Lizheng also returned to the village to help deal with the funeral affairs of these elderly people.
