Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 12 The Pond Is Occupied
The rest of the people somewhat questioned the authenticity of the pond in the mountains.

Wang said bluntly: "If you go at your current speed, you won't be able to arrive tomorrow."

Tong's face was slightly stiff, but looking at the crying toddler in her arms, and the dry and white lips of the five-year-old daughter beside her, she felt guilty.

"Mother, I'm thirsty." The Wang family aunt looked at her mother dryly, her eyes lingering on her chest.

The younger brother can drink milk, and she wants to drink too.

But where does Tong's still have milk now?
He could only pretend to be angry and glared at his daughter, watching her lower her head in frustration, feeling pain in her heart.

Wang Dayou looked at the team, everyone fled in a panic and had nothing to bring.

What's more, long before the refugee army came, most people had no food left in their homes.

There are many trees in this deep mountain and old forest, but the branches and leaves are dry and falling, and I can't find fresh tender leaves even if I try to chew them.

The family holding the dog in their arms struggled to look at the dying yellow dog they had kept in their arms for ten years, and kept swallowing their saliva.

Another person had a goose in his arms, and because he was so thirsty, he couldn't help biting the goose's neck and drinking blood to quench his thirst.

It's just that the blood felt refreshed when he first drank it, but after a while, his throat felt as dry as fire, and the man couldn't help scratching his throat.

It’s okay not to eat for one or two meals, but not to drink water for a day, let alone humans, livestock can’t stand it.

What everyone Xu said is right, if you go on your way in such a state, you will not be able to reach the pond tomorrow.

Wang Dayou swallowed his saliva, and shouted to the villagers: "Everyone, work harder, get there early and have water to drink, not for yourself, think about the children, you have to hold on even if you grit your teeth!"

Everyone looked at the child, then at the sun that was almost climbing to the center above their heads, gritted their teeth, and nodded.

Wang Dayou sighed, looked at Wang Shi, and signaled her not to worry.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang's complexion improved a little, and she also encouraged: "Everyone, if you persevere, we will not be far from the pond. As long as we are fast enough, we can arrive at noon!"

Obtaining Wang's accurate words, the big guy worked hard and greatly accelerated his speed.

Even seven or eight-year-old children puffed up their cheeks and struggled to move their calves, not lagging behind adults.

In today's world, it is not easy for underage children to live to this day. Xu Yue is carried on the back by her brother, watching these children struggling to keep up with the pace of adults, she is very ashamed.

In comparison, I feel much luckier.

However, when she was about to reach the pond in the hinterland of the mountain, Xu Yue suddenly saw traces of being trampled on a clump of weeds.

At first glance, they thought they were footprints left by some kind of large beast, but when such footprints appeared one after another, Xu Yue suddenly had a bad feeling.

However, she could find the traces, let alone Wang's side. When she measured it with her fingers, her face suddenly darkened.

"Someone has been here!" Wang frowned.

Dawangcun and the others were stunned. Their faces were numb due to hunger and thirst, and they didn't realize what this meant.

Xu Yue and Xu Erniang immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Subconsciously, Wang raised her hand and made a gesture to move forward quietly. When she turned around and saw Wang Dayou and the others looked dazed, she realized that this was not her own soldier. She coughed in embarrassment and said in a voice that everyone could hear. :

"Someone may have already stepped into the pond first. Xu Da, you lead everyone forward quietly. I'll go and see the situation first."

As he spoke, he ordered Wang Dayou again, "You come with me."

Wang Dayou glanced at Wang Shi in surprise, then at Xu Da, seeing him nodding, he hesitated to follow Wang Shi and take the first step.

Seeing Wang's jumping out for a long time, and every time he can avoid the stones and other obstacles under his feet in advance, although Wang Dayou is only a blacksmith, he also feels the difference between Wang's and ordinary women .

But before he could think about the difference, lively voices came to his ears, and the two had already walked out of the forest and came to a piece of low grass.

In the middle of the grass, there is a circular pond with a diameter of about five meters.

Seeing the clear water source and feeling the steam rushing towards his face, Wang Dayou swallowed hard and almost cried with joy.

However, by the small pond, there were more than [-] more people, dressed similarly to them, and it was clear at a glance that they were villagers from other places who had fled to the mountain because of the drought and military disaster.

At this moment, they are surrounding the open space by the pond, making a fire to boil water for cooking, talking in dialect and laughing.

Wang looked at Wang Dayou and asked him if he could understand what those people were saying?

The so-called different customs in ten miles, different pronunciation in a hundred miles, the entire Sanyang County is so big, and the accents are also different from place to place.

For example, Dawang Village and Yangjiao Village are only ten miles apart, so their accents are different, but it’s just that the two places often communicate with each other, so you can understand it after you get used to it.

Wang Dayou tried his best to prick up his ears and listened for a while. It seemed to be the accent of the northern part of Shanyang County. The daughter of a family member in Dawang Village married there. He even guessed and guessed roughly.

"It seems that they have just arrived not long ago, and they are discussing to occupy this pond and avoid disaster here."

The drought situation in the north of Shanyang County is slightly better than that in the south. The conditions of these people seem to be much better than those in Dawang Village, and there are more men, there are fifteen young and middle-aged men.

When Wang Shi heard Wang Dayou's words, her face sank.

Looking at the bright water pond, Wang Dayou swallowed his saliva. He could bear the hunger and thirst, but now that the water is in front of him, he can't drink it to his heart's content. This taste is particularly painful.

If Wang Shi hadn't stopped him, Wang Dayou might have rushed over.

But judging by the attitude of that group of people, if he rushed over, he would probably be beaten to death.

Mrs. Wang silently wrote down the situation of that group of people, and greeted Wang Dayou, and the two of them came back quietly.

As soon as the two returned to the team, Wang Dayou told the story that the pond had been occupied, and the villagers of Dawang Village immediately exploded.

The thirst for water made them show their crazy side, and they raised their hoes and sickles and were ready to go all out to grab the pond.

Seeing this posture, Xu Da immediately raised his eyebrows proudly at Wang's side. See, isn't this the advantage of having a large number of people?
Mrs. Wang didn't bother to talk to him, stepped forward, and stopped the villagers of Dawang Village who were about to grab the pond with their hoes and sickles.

"The other party has more people than us, and their strength is stronger than ours. If we rush forward in such a reckless manner, we will definitely lose."

"Then what do you say?" Wang Dahai, a villager holding a goose, said in a very angry tone, thinking that you, a woman, should meddle in a man's affairs?

Wang Shi was swayed by the blatant sexism, but soon, as soon as the powerful aura of battle-tested was released, Wang Dahai felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the words in his throat got stuck and disappeared.

Not only Wang Dahai, but other villagers could not help but calm down when they felt this powerful aura, and looked at Wang in astonishment.
