Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space
Chapter 686: The Old Immortal Appears
Gu Yunxi stood on the street, quietly watching the people coming and going, queuing up to get water, the hustle and bustle, her eyes curved.
A full well of water was barely enough to sustain the lives of nearby residents.
The government sent officials to require that families with less than five people could only draw half a bucket of water each household, and those with more than five people could only draw half a bucket of water for five people.
With government officials maintaining order and registering water collection, ordinary people in the capital city also had water, as did wealthy families. This rare water was not wasted at all.
However, by the afternoon, the water was all gone.
There are still many people who have not gotten water, but the wells are almost dry.
Many people regretted it very much. If they had known earlier, they would have lined up earlier today!
"Sir, there's no water in the well again. What should we do if we don't have any water?" someone in the crowd shouted.
The officer didn't know what to do, so he just shook his head and said, "It's all up to fate!"
When the people heard this, their faces were filled with disappointment. There was no water left, and their joy was in vain.
I don’t know how long this drought will last. Now the family has no water to cook. If they don’t drink water, they will die of thirst.
"Uncle, maybe there will be water in the well again tomorrow morning!" A childish voice sounded.
Gu Yunxi looked through the crowd and saw the child talking. Wasn’t that the child who talked to her yesterday?
"Uncle, we met a kind aunt yesterday. She said she had a dream in which the old immortal said that there would be water in the well! Maybe the old immortal will continue to fill the well with water tonight!"
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.
The child's grandmother, seeing everyone looking at her grandson, quickly reached out and hugged the child in her arms.
The people hurriedly asked, "Auntie, is what your grandson said true? Did someone really say yesterday that the old immortal would make the well have water?"
"Yes, ma'am, is this true?"
If this is true, they will not leave and would rather continue to queue here and wait for the old immortal to give them water.
Otherwise, when the old immortal gave them water, they would go home and come back tomorrow, but they would not be able to get water. Isn’t this what happened today?
Many of them came here specially from the outskirts of Beijing. They set out at dawn and walked for a long time before finally arriving here.
The old woman held her grandson tightly in her arms and nodded to everyone: "It's true, I heard it with my own ears!"
"If you don't believe me, why don't you come back here tomorrow morning to see if there's water in the well?"
When the people heard this, they were very excited. Some of them just stopped moving and found a place to sit nearby, waiting for the old immortal to come and give them water.
When Gu Yunxi saw this scene, he frowned slightly and turned away.
She went to the Hidden Language Hall again, and this time, she asked the people there to help her...
The next morning, the street was still noisy. Many people woke up from their sleep and the first thing they did was to look towards the well to see if there was water in it.
However, they were disappointed as the well remained dry.
Someone in the crowd cursed: "We've been cheated. There is no such thing as an old immortal! Let's go home!"
"That's right, that's right, a whole night wasted, let's go, let's go." Many people began to leave carrying buckets of water.
Suddenly, several women screamed, "Oh my! Could it be that the old immortal is angry because we are all guarding here?"
"Think about it, with so many of us here, how could the old immortal show up? If he doesn't show up, how can he give us water?"
"Oh, what you said makes sense. We can't see the gods just because we want to. Let's go, let's go quickly. We can't really offend the gods."
"Maybe if we all leave, the gods will come?"
As the women talked, they ran away like the wind, carrying their clay pots and wooden buckets.
Many people heard what they said, agreed with them, and hurriedly left.
Soon, the street became deserted, with only two officers guarding the well left.
Gu Yunxi hid in the dark and watched this scene with a smile on his face. When night fell, the two guards left and there was no one on the street.
Shuang Qiu went out first to check the situation on the street. When he was sure that there was no one around, he brought Gu Yunxi to the well quietly...
After finishing everything, Shuangqiu quietly took Gu Yunxi away.
The next morning, the streets were bustling again, and everyone exclaimed: "The gods have appeared! It really is the gods who have appeared!"
"Yesterday, there were too many of us and we frightened the gods, so they didn't come to give us water. Today, no one stayed here, so the gods came."
Upon hearing the noise, the officials hurried over, maintained order, and lined up to get water.
In this way, in the following month, Gu Yunxi added water to the wells on the street from time to time, which to a certain extent alleviated the situation of many people dying of thirst due to lack of water.
At the same time, Gu Yunxi received a letter from his hometown saying that the second batch of honeysuckle had been picked.
Fortunately, the village chief had someone dig a few large pits and store water, so that there was water to irrigate the honeysuckle. Otherwise, we would not be able to pick the second batch.
Gu Yunxi handed the letter to Mr. He with a smile and said, "Grandfather, don't you like honeysuckle? The village chief sent the second batch of honeysuckle picked this time and put it in the warehouse. I will have someone send it to you later."
Master He smiled as he finished reading the letter and nodded slightly: "Yun Xi, you are so thoughtful."
Nowadays, most of Mr. He's business is managed by his capable managers, while he himself lives in the capital, leading a life of enjoying his grandchildren.
Gu Yunxi's grandchildren are all filial. They always think about and care about this old man. He really doesn't know how he earned such a blessing!
"By the way, Yunxi, have you found a sales channel for the honeysuckle picked at home? If not, you can sell it in my shop in the city..." Master He said with a smile.
From now on, the shop will be handed over to Achuan and his family. We are all one family, and his shop is also the Lu family's shop.
However, the entire Lu family is now in the capital, and no one has returned to the provincial capital, so Mr. He has never mentioned this matter.
Gu Yunxi smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, Grandfather, I have found all the sales channels, and the honeysuckle we picked at home are not enough to sell!"
"That's good, that's good." Mr. He nodded with a smile, and saw Mrs. He walking out of the house.
Mrs. He was holding a box in her hand and was about to go out. When she saw Yun Xi, she smiled and took Yun Xi's hand and walked away together.
Mrs. He smiled and said as she walked, "Tomorrow is Qingqing's wedding day. Grandmother is old and was afraid she would forget. Now that she remembers, she will take the things I gave her back. Yunxi, come with me."
Gu Yunxi nodded and told Xiao Cui to get the gift she had prepared.
