A small peasant girl

Chapter 864 The Difficult Drought

"Girl, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Uncle will tell you what he knows." After hearing Wenzi's question, the farmer suddenly became interested. He never knew that people who deal with the fields all day long There is an opportunity to be asked questions.

"Well, uncle." Wenzi knew that when talking to someone with a little less self-esteem, he should lower his posture, so as not to make people feel superior and arrogant, which would directly affect the mood of the other party, thus changing the content of the answer, "Uncle, Is the lack of water in this area the same in other places?"

"Hey, girl, you just ask about this matter. It's almost the same. The water in the fields has been cut off in several villages around here. We can only pray to God for some rain." Crop The old man originally thought that Wenzi would ask some fresh questions, but it was this one, with a hint of disappointment on his face.

"Then uncle, don't the yamen ignore this matter? If there is a severe drought in previous years, there must be some policies to deal with it?" Wenzi knew that the questions she asked might not be answered by the old man in front of her, but she I just couldn't help but want to know, in the eyes of the villagers, what role did the yamen play in this severe drought.

"The yamen? Take care of it, why don't you care about it. Wells are being dug everywhere. The ground is full of potholes, but no water has been dug. Hey..." The old farmer felt more and more helpless. Although there were still some wells in the village, the water from the wells The water inside can be used by the villagers for daily life.

If anyone uses someone from the well to irrigate the field at a critical moment, so that the villagers cannot drink clean water, the eight generations of ancestors will probably be dug out and scolded.

Wenzi asked a few more innocuous questions, and then thankfully got into the carriage and returned to Liujia Village with a worried look.

When Wenzi arrived home, Wang Qingwen was walking back and forth in the hall, unable to stop for a moment. He had something on his mind and wanted to see Wenzi urgently.

Before the Wenzi people entered Wang's house, a servant who was keeping watch outside trotted over and told her that Wang Qingwen was looking for her. After entering the house, Wenzi saw Wang Qingwen and said directly, "Uncle Wang, listen to what they said. Are you looking for me?"

"Girl Wen, you're finally back. If you don't come back, I'm going to die of panic." Wang Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wenzi. He encountered a very difficult thing and wanted to find Wenzi as soon as possible.

In Wang Qingwen's eyes, Wenzi is an extremely smart woman, unmatched by ordinary women. Discussing things with Wenzi can often lead to a good result.

"Uncle Wang, I see you are in a hurry. What's the matter, let's talk slowly." Seeing Wang Qingwen's anxious look, Wenzi could only calm down before he could talk about it.

"Yes, yes, I was too anxious, Wen girl, you go back to the house first, I will go in and change clothes to find you." Only then did Wang Qingwen realize that the two of them are in the hall at the moment, and there are many people talking. It will be troublesome if you miss something and be overheard by interested people.

After Wenzi returned to the house, he changed into clean clothes first, and let Xiaoying go to the kitchen to eat some food. She had been running around for a day, and he was a little weak and urgently needed food to provide energy.

After a while, Wen Zi also finished his food, Wang Qingwen came over after adjusting his mood, and said directly to Wen Zi, "Girl Wen, I'm afraid there will be a drought this time."

Wang Qingwen is in charge of a large number of Wenzi's fields. There are a lot of dry fields and paddy fields. This year, he only spent money to hire workers to help cultivate the land.

But just after the crops were planted in the fields, God ran out to destroy them. It didn’t rain at all, and the weather was getting hotter. I really wanted to completely cut off the farmers’ livelihood.

"Uncle Wang, when I went out today, I also saw the serious shortage of water in the paddy fields. The old farmers who farmed the fields also said that the river is drying up, I'm afraid..." Wenzi had a helpless expression, wanted to laugh but didn't know How to laugh, I just feel that my heart is blocked and panic, and it is difficult to breathe.

"Girl Wen, if things continue like this, something bad will happen." Although Wang Qingwen doesn't deal with the fields, he also knows some basic common sense. .

"Uncle Wang, I understand what you mean. I'm afraid the yamen is also worried about this matter." Wenzi couldn't think of a good way at once. She is really not an invincible and omnipotent character. Things that make Wenzi very fragile and vulnerable.

"The yamen has already sent people to dig wells everywhere, and I don't know how the situation is going." Wang Qingwen's entire face changed, and he was so worried that he had a lot of gray hair, "Wen girl, what do we do? If you don’t do anything, do you continue to wait like this?”

"Uncle Wang, of course that's not the case, but I can't think of a perfect solution at the moment." Wen Zi saw that Wang Qingwen was too impatient and a little out of order, maybe after Wang Rouying became demented and came back, Wang Qingwen was not quite right.

Sometimes, Wenzi didn't know whether her choice was right or not. She trusted the young and old members of the Wang family extremely, and believed that the members of the Wang family were absolutely loyal to her.

But the Wang Rouying incident was like a thorn that pierced Wenzi's heart directly, making her afraid to find out who set the fire that day, and she didn't dare to imagine how explosive the result would be.

If Wang Rouying really had this desire to set fire, Wen Zi would feel that she had failed in life, and she had given her sincerity to Wang Rouying, but in the end she became an enemy in her eyes.

"Hey, girl Wen, I made things difficult for you." Wang Qingwen subconsciously realized that his abnormal behavior had become a burden to others when he heard Wenzi's words. Among them, "Then, then you rest first, Uncle Wang has gone back first, we have something to discuss."

"Well, okay, Uncle Wang, you should go back to rest earlier." Wenzi didn't directly point out Wang Qingwen's abnormal behavior, but thought that he might be too tired and his body needed to rest.

Wenzi had enough rest, but she still felt that she had to find the world and tell the story of her seeing the old woman before going to bed. There was no special reason, but there was a voice in her heart that forced herself to do so.

When he found Tiandi, Tiandi was holding a wordless book in his hand, studying the knowledge written on it seriously.

Liu Kangdi, who was sitting at the side practicing calligraphy, saw Wenzi enter the room, took a look at Wenzi, and burst into tears for some reason.

Wenzi saw this scene with his eyes, and immediately walked to Liu Kangdi's side quickly. Wenzi bent down, and then asked in a gentle voice with a concerned expression, "Little brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you so good? Did you cry? What happened? Talk to Third Sister, okay?"
