The sunset is so beautiful, like blood-colored azalea, and it seems like someone set a fire in the sky, and the fiery red clouds roll and rise in the sky.
"Mom, look over there!"
Suddenly, Lin Erhu pointed to the horizon and shouted in surprise.
Ye Chuqiu took a closer look and saw thick smoke slowly rising from a place under the setting sun. Although it was far away, the light of the fire was faintly visible.
After a while, the setting sun gradually disappeared from the horizon, the sky became darker, and the firelight became clearer in the dusk.
"It's the direction of Lusu City!"
Ye Chuqiu said in surprise, "Could it be that the rebel bandits gathered their forces and attacked Lusu City again?"
"No way!"
Lin Dahu opened his mouth and looked at the smoke on the horizon, speechless.
After a while, he asked: "Mom, what should we do now? Let's leave quickly."
"No, no, no, wait a little longer."
Ye Chuqiu waved her hand, Lusu City was destroyed, and these people would definitely have to flee. In this way, her gratitude points would be restored.
"All right."
Lin Dahu had never dared to disobey Ye Chuqiu, so after hearing her words, he could only agree.
"By the way, let's go to the small river you discovered today. Let's filter some more water. When the refugees arrive later, it will be troublesome to find the water source." Ye Chuqiu suggested again.
At this time, people's awareness of hygiene is not strong. When there are more people, the water in this small river will inevitably be polluted.
"good!"
Lin Dahu responded and greeted Zhao Hehua and the others. The group of people took the cattle and hurried to the river again.
Different from Ye Chuqiu's imagination, the water in this small river has bottomed out long ago, leaving only some mud. Under the moonlight, messy footprints on the riverside can be vaguely seen. Thinking that this group of refugees is not just theirs, I want to come early.
Someone has been here.
However, although the water is dirty, now is not the time to worry about it. Let's use the old method, filter it first, boil it, and keep it for later use.
There is water by the river, and refugees will definitely come here when the time comes. Ye Chuqiu just happens to be waiting here.
Thinking of this, she quickly looked at Zhao Hehua and said, "Hehua, thank you for your hard work. Please boil some water."
"Mom, son... my daughter-in-law is not working hard."
Ye Chuqiu simply said "Thank you for your hard work", and Zhao Hehua was so nervous that she didn't know what to do. From the moment she married into the Ye family, even when she gave birth to a baby, she never received a word of thanks from Ye Chuqiu.
Now that she received Ye Chuqiu's words of hard work, Zhao Hehua felt full of energy, and quickly followed Ye Chuqiu's instructions and started setting up the stove to boil water again.
About half an hour later, the water was filtered and boiled. Zhao Hehua brought it to Ye Chuqiu and said, "Mom, the water is boiled."
"Put it there after it's burned."
"Ah? Leave it there?"
"Why don't you let it go?"
Seeing her look like this, Ye Chuqiu felt a little strange, so Zhao Hehua said: "Oh, I thought mother wanted to boil water to wipe herself."
"Don't tell me, my whole body is really uncomfortable."
Ye Chuqiu guessed that now she was worse than a beggar. She didn't dare to look at herself. Hey, once upon a time, she would rush into the shower room and take a quick bath if she sweated a little.
People, but now, let alone taking a shower, it would be nice to be able to drink enough water.
"I also want to take a bath, but there is no shortage of water here. When the refugees come over, the water will not be enough for them to drink. How can we waste such precious water and use it to take a bath?"
Ye Chuqiu said something and then looked at Zhao Hehua, "Hehua, if you have nothing to do, just boil more water. It's best to boil all the filtered water in the bucket. We don't have enough. Go to your second uncle and third uncle."
Borrow a bucket from home."
"Oh well."
Zhao Hehua responded and went to boil water again. After working for more than an hour, he boiled the water and let it cool down.
"Why did Mom suddenly boil so much water? I thought Mom wanted to use it to wipe herself, but it turned out she didn't."
After having some free time, Zhao Hehua chatted with her husband Lin Dahu.
"Mom has always been thrifty. She must have thought that when the refugees arrive later, we won't have so much water. Let's burn it first so that we can have something to drink on the way." Lin Dahu replied.
"So that's the case, sir, you are smart." After hearing Lin Dahu's words, Zhao Hehua was convinced.
At this moment, refugees were coming here one after another. After running away all night, everyone was tired and thirsty. At this time, Ye Chuqiu stood up with a smile and said to them: "The water in this river
It's too dirty, full of silt, and you can't drink it."
"Who says you can't drink it? I'm starving to death, and I don't care if it's dirty!"
"That's right, it's not clean. You won't get sick after eating it!"
These refugees did not take it seriously, and Ye Chuqiu said: "Oh, what I mean is, I have boiled water here. If you are thirsty, just come here and drink."
"Are you so kind?"
"You don't want to charge us money, do you?"
“Let’s make it clear first, we don’t have money to buy your water.”
What haven't you seen during the escape? There is no free lunch, and naturally there is no free water. After listening to Ye Chuqiu's words, they became a little wary of her!
"Hey, why don't we help each other when we are away from home? I don't have any food, but the water is from the river. I asked my son and his wife to filter the water and boil it. If everyone drinks it, won't they get less sick?"
Ye Chuqiu said and sighed, "My old lady has done good deeds all her life, but now she is about to starve to death. I just think that when I get to the King of Hell, the King of Hell will see that for the sake of my good deeds, he can give me a good pregnancy in my next life."
, don’t throw yourself into this poor man’s family again and suffer this heinous crime.”
Listening to Ye Chuqiu's sincerity, everyone believed it. Thinking about the situation of themselves and others, they couldn't help but feel sad.
Ye Chuqiu continued: "I don't ask for anything else now. I just hope that everyone who drinks my water can say thank you to Mrs. Lin and add some merit to me."
"Just saying thank you, that's no problem!"
Even then, some people let down their guard, walked up to Ye Chuqiu, and drank the water she boiled.
"Here, the freshly boiled water is much cleaner than the water in the river."
While Ye Chuqiu was scooping water for everyone, he listened to the words "Thank you, Mrs. Lin." Then he saw the gratitude value in his system rising steadily, and he burst into laughter.
Zhao Hehua, Lin Dahu and others on the side looked at each other in confusion. In their eyes, Ye Chuqiu was not such a generous person. In the past, she would not reach out to help a child fall in front of her.
In addition to being good to her parents' family, she has always been the kind of person who "keeps the snow in front of her own house and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles" when it comes to others. It's just a matter of effort, but if it has nothing to do with her, she won't do it.
Do it.
But this time, she actually went to such great lengths to ask her daughter-in-law to boil water for others to drink?
Isn't this too strange?
Especially when she mentioned death just now, several children couldn't help but think about it.
Some people say that when a person is about to die, his words are kind. Ye Chuqiu has been so kind these past two days. Is it possible that she has a desire to die?
Lin Dahu clenched his fists and looked at Ye Chuqiu who was so happy scooping water for everyone, but his heart became more and more nervous.
