Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm

There is no moon or stars in the sky.

Every household had lit up lanterns, and the carriage could only illuminate a small area around it, which was surrounded by darkness.

Occasionally, the howls of animals could be heard around, which scared the grass in the car and burrowed into the old lady's arms.

Uncle Ma got out of the car and quickly adjusted the positions of several cars in the convoy.

The car he drove with Gu Zhang was the first, and the car Gu Sanlang drove with his eldest uncle was the last.

My eldest uncle is from the mountains and often goes hunting in the mountains. Although he is a bit older, over fifty, he is courageous and experienced. He is the last to go and can respond to any emergencies in time.

After adjusting, keep moving forward.

At this time, the people walking were clinging to the side of the car. The unknown darkness was really scary.

If you walk the ten miles quickly, you'll be there in two-quarters of an hour.

But this group of people was very tired after walking for a day, and it took almost half an hour to arrive at the inn that Uncle Ma mentioned.

Everyone was overjoyed to see the light in the inn.

The inn is surrounded by a low loess wall, which means to circle the place.

Everyone drove the car in, and the waiter at the door shouted, "We are here—"

The group of people had little experience in going out, and the car was not unloaded, so they all rushed into the inn.

Qian found a bench and collapsed on it.

Li's body was already weak. Although she rested in the car several times along the way, she was no better than Qian. She leaned on a chair and panted.

Li Chunhua and Chen were in good condition, and they hurriedly unpacked their bags and got water to drink.

The men were gathered around the counter, and Uncle Ma was asking the shopkeeper, "How can I stay in the shopkeeper's hotel?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the clothes of this group of people and saw that they were all country men. He said slowly: "One tael of silver for the upper room, four buckets of hot water, and five hundred yuan a night for the other rooms. One bucket of hot water, and one bucket for the whole shop." Twenty cents per person, nothing. You have to pay for your own luggage. If you want bedding, you have to pay extra."

"The fodder for the rest of the animals costs five cents a bundle. If you want it, go to the waiter and buy it yourself."

The village chief frowned, "Shopkeeper, twenty cents for this shop is not cheap anymore. Can't you even provide me with a bowl of water?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyelids and said, "It would be nice to have a shelter from the wind for twenty cents. Do you want some water?"

"If you want to drink water, you can buy it separately, one hundred coins a bucket. If you want to drink it, you can collect firewood and burn it yourself."

Boss Zhang shouted first, "Isn't the water you sell too expensive?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Do you know where this water comes from? The water in the well has dried up! I hired people to pick it from the Yangshizi River more than ten miles away. I have to pay dozens of coins for a bucket of water. If you don’t like it, go pick it out from the river yourself.”

Everyone was silent, the drought was getting more and more serious.

When I came out this morning, there was only half a bucket of muddy water in the house.

Uncle Ma didn't say anything. He looked at everyone. He was just on his way. As for how everyone wanted to stay in the hotel, everyone had their own ideas and he couldn't control it.

The village chief spoke up first, "My family all lives in Tongpu, and the road is still choked with trees, and the money is wasted."

"Buy another bucket of water and we'll boil it ourselves."

Everyone also thought that it would be more cost-effective to live in Tongpu.

The village chief's family consists of eight people, including the elderly couple, two sons, two daughters-in-law, a teenage grandson, and a nine-year-old granddaughter.

The village chief took out the money bag from his arms, and while counting the coins, he said to the shopkeeper: "I don't need to pay for my two children, right?"

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, "Why don't you give it? Your baby won't take up space when sleeping?"
