The old woman looked Du Tingyue up and down suspiciously, and didn't say anything, just handed two dilapidated bowls to the two of them: "Drink."

Mo Xia looked at the water in the bowl.

The water was not considered clean and clear, with yellow-brown sludge deposited on the bottom of the bowl, and a thin layer of turbid dirt floating on the surface of the water.

How could Du Tingyue let Mo Ya drink this kind of water?Putting his hand away from the water bowl that Mo Ya was about to take over, he drank it all in one gulp. Looking at Mo Ya, he seemed very embarrassed: "My lord, I am really thirsty, so I drank your water. Don't take it for granted."

Before Mo Xia had time to stop Du Tingyue, Du Tingyue had already done it in one go.Mo Xia frequently looked at Du Tingyue with worried eyes. Hearing these words, he immediately answered with a pun: "I'm not harsh at all, but I feel wronged that you accompany me all the way."

Mo Xia thanked the old woman, pointed to the small courtyard, and asked some probing questions: "I heard that there was a severe drought in the south, and the people were displaced. Looking at the life of the old woman, although it is not the same as before, she still has food, water, clothing and firewood. It is not likeAfter natural disasters."

Maybe it was talking about the pride of the old lady, which made her eager to show off and tell.As soon as he opened his mouth, the chatterbox couldn't be stopped: "Speaking of which, I'm all thanks to our Lord Qingtian Liu."

Du Tingyue moved her footsteps, blocked Mo Xia behind her, held the old woman's hand, and was sincerely curious: "Ma'am, we came to Lingyuan County from other places to visit our relatives.The rumors we have heard are very different. Why don't you tell us, what is the reason behind this?"

"The old lady's surname is Liu." Because of Du Tingyue's kind actions, Aunt Liu's defense against the two of them has been lowered a lot, and seeing the two of them are so sincere, she can't help but want to say more to them: "Our familyAlthough it is not considered rich and powerful, there are still a few acres of Susukida for the food and drink of the family, but God is not open this day, a drought almost killed the old woman's family."

Even though she seemed to have survived, Aunt Liu couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of the dark scene at the other end.

Du Tingyue took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into Aunt Liu's hand without any explanation.

Aunt Liu looked at this embroidered handkerchief so delicate and fragrant, it was luxurious and luxurious she had never seen before, she was holding it in her rough and cracked hands, she was at a loss what to do.

Du Tingyue smiled and said: "Ma'am, it's all over, so don't worry about the past. Wipe away your tears quickly. You might as well tell us how your family survived until now?"

Because of the handkerchief, Aunt Liu became happier the more she looked at Du Tingyue, she just thought that such a beautiful and kind-hearted girl must be a good person.

She carefully rubbed the smooth silk on the palm of her hand with her thumb, and was reluctant to wipe her face. She spoke again, knowing everything, and endless words: "God doesn't want to rain, the seeds sown with great difficulty, I hope he will haveIt was a good harvest, but all of them died of drought in the field. I wanted to buy some rice, but no matter what, I had to make it through, but those unscrupulous merchants in the city charged us seven hundred dollars for a bucket of rice."

Mo Xia blurted out, "Seven hundred dollars?"

According to the price of Daliang, at the time of the heyday and the world, it cost less than ten yuan to fight rice in a good year.It is now that Emperor Delin is fatuous, and the price of rice among the people is at most a hundred dollars.

Seven hundred renminbi a bucket of rice, this price, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is more expensive than gold.

"Yes." Speaking of this, Aunt Liu couldn't help crying again, "My son was so angry that he had a leg broken after arguing with them. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu saved our family's life."
