On the way back, Yu Yi has been thinking about "Dunjia Tianshu" and the martial arts competition. By practicing "Qi Training Method", his inner strength has made great progress. However, these improvements are relative to himself. Who is he among his classmates? How is still unknown.
As he was walking and thinking, he suddenly bumped into a child and felt a pain in his chest. The child fell directly to the ground, seemingly injured.
"Look, everyone, we hit someone!"
A woman next to the child saw the child being hit and immediately shouted out. Within a moment, she was surrounded by villagers.
Yu Yi took a closer look and saw that the child was very thin, his lips were a little black, and his hair was messy and scattered around. The woman was dressed in plain clothes with several patches on her clothes.
Yu Yi wanted to step forward and help the child up, but he didn't expect that the child deliberately avoided Yu Yi's hand and was still rolling around on the spot. At the same time, the screams became louder and louder.
"Oh, even if you hit someone, you still have to silence them. Let's all judge!"
The middle-aged woman also shouted loudly, and some villagers couldn't stand it for a while, and stepped forward to block Yu Yi's retreat.
"I asked you to be reasonable, please. Yin Yin was the one who bumped into me. I helped him out of kindness, but you said that I wanted to silence you. What on earth do you have in mind?"
Seeing that his help was blocked, Yu Yi felt slightly angry and began to defend himself.
It seemed that she did not expect that the other party was actually very articulate. The woman was speechless for a moment and simply sat on the ground and started crying, while the child continued to roll on the spot.
Yu Yi has encountered this kind of tone in modern times. It's just a touch of porcelain. Others at least act in front of the car, and sometimes the effect of using red ink is very realistic. In comparison, the touch of porcelain between this woman and a child is a bit childish. .
"It's so outrageous that someone else is an orphan and a widower!"
Some old men in the crowd couldn't stand it, so they all stood up and spoke for the woman. Following the old man's accusation, some middle-aged people around him also began to agree.
Yuyi felt the pressure from the surrounding villagers and felt that there was no point in continuing to spend it, so he wanted to use the money for personal gain. He happened to get 130 yuan from selling fish last time, so he slowly walked up to the woman, gave her the money, and said He said softly: "If I admit defeat, you can use this money to heal the child's injuries. Be more careful next time you walk."
Seeing that her goal was achieved, the middle-aged woman didn't want to continue to be entangled, so she stood up, stepped forward, helped the child and left.
Yuyi watched their backs, cursing the bad luck in his heart.
At this time, he found a familiar figure in the crowd, it was Diao Xue whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Why are you here? What a coincidence!"
Yu Yi smiled slightly. He felt that he hadn't seen Diao Xue for a long time. The shyness reappeared, so his words seemed a bit hesitant.
"Thank you for helping the mother and son just now!"
Diao Xue watched the mother and son leaving, and didn't look back until they were out of sight.
The two found a pavilion and chatted for a while. It turns out that after Yu Yi began to use the halberd's moves, Diao Ruxiao lifted Diao Xue's ban and agreed that she could go out freely. In addition, she would also participate in the martial arts competition. By then, the two of them might not be friends, but rivals. .
As for the mother and son, they are residents of a household in the east of the village. The child has been sick since childhood, and the child's father was killed by bandits when he went out. The mother cultivates the family's fields alone, and life is very difficult. Recently, due to weather reasons, there has been no rainfall for a long time. Crops were severely short of water, and the land in Daoxiang Village began to crack. The mother and son's only source of income was cut off, so they had to go out to beg, sometimes using some means.
Hearing what Diao Xue said, Yu Yi immediately sympathized with the two of them and asked, "Since it's a drought and there is a lake to the west of the village, why don't you go there to lift water to irrigate crops?"
"Do you still remember the time when you carried 100 buckets of water? The distance between the west and east of the village is several miles, and women are just ordinary people. They have to irrigate so many crops. How can a few buckets of water solve the problem?"
Diao Xue smiled.
After hearing Diao Xue's explanation, Yu Yi realized the seriousness of the problem.
Walking out of the pavilion, Yu Yi found that the villagers looked very hungry. Some old people were even lying directly on the ground. The miserable situation was unbearable to look at. It must be that the drought not only affected that woman, but also affected the entire Daoxiang Village.
Suddenly, someone from the villagers shouted: "Everyone, come with me and go to Diao Ruxiao's house. I heard that everyone is discussing solutions to the problem there."
Hearing this voice, the villagers' dull eyes were instantly filled with energy, and they walked towards Diao Ruxiao's house one by one. Yu Yi and Diao Xue naturally followed them.
"Everyone, please be quiet. The drought is not limited to our Daoxiang Village. As long as everyone unites, we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty!"
As soon as he entered Diao Ruxiao's mansion, Yu Yi heard Diao Ruxiao's voice.
"I said how can we unite as one? If this continues, our whole family will starve to death, how can we overcome the difficulties!"
A middle-aged villager, Yinxian, was dissatisfied with Diao Ruxiao's morale boosting, and directly raised the most practical issue.
"Yeah, we have to find a way!"
"That's right, Diao Ruxiao, aren't you very capable? Why can't you solve this problem?"
"If this continues, why should we call it Daoxiang Village? Let's just call it Dry Land!"
Following the middle-aged people's voices, the scene fell into chaos.
"I fully understand everyone's mood at this time. I will organize young adults in the village to carry water to your homes. Please go back first!"
Diao Ruxiao poured her inner energy into her voice, which instantly drowned out other sounds at the scene.
"I believe Lord Marten will help us get through this difficulty!"
After hearing Diao Ruxiao's solution, some villagers also nodded. There were fewer and fewer villagers at the scene. In less than a while, only Diao Ruxiao, Diao Xue, Yu Yi and Zhang were left.
"Father, if we let it develop, I think the villagers in Daoxiang Village will riot sooner or later!"
Diao Xue stepped forward and described some conditions on the street to Diao Ruxiao. The drought had caused them to lose their harvest, and some people were even starving to death on the street.
"I am also aware of the drought situation. It is also the same situation in other places now. It seems that riots will happen sooner or later."
Diao Ruxiao touched his beard and fell into deep thought.
"Father, you said you would organize the young adults in the village to go to the lake to fetch water. I think we should start as soon as possible."
Seeing that Diao Ruxiao was silent, Diao Xue was very anxious. The miserable situation of the villagers on the street was still vivid in her mind, so she couldn't help but remind her.
"You are right, call all the young adults to my house in my name."
After Diao Ruxiao finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the inner room.
So Diao Xue and Yu Yi started to notify each other, going from house to house, shouting and walking. After a while, their voices became hoarse and their legs and feet became a little sore.
However, the villagers were not active, and some even closed the door when they saw Yu Yi and Diao Xue. It seems that the villagers don't want their relatives to do such hard work, and they want to push this kind of thing to other people's homes.
Diao Xue was naturally feeling uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, if there were any problems, she would always go to her home immediately. When she called on everyone to solve the problem, everyone backed down.
