After a while, Mu Shigao came back after making inquiries.

Mu Shigao called several in-laws over, and then said: "The entry fee is ten cents per person."

"There are two places where you can get water in the city, one is in Shunning Lane in the east of the city, and the other is in Shifang Inn in the west of the city. The fee for fetching water at both places is ten cents per bucket."

Liu Wei frowned and complained: "The entrance fee has increased to ten cents per person. The previous entrance fee was only two cents."

It only costs ten cents per person, which is too expensive.

Liu Wei didn't want to go into the city, so as for fetching water, he left it to his elder brother and the others, so that he could save ten cents.

"In this special period, it is definitely different from before." Mu Shigao looked at several in-laws, "How do you decide whether to go to the city to collect water?"

Jiang Bei had a hesitant look on his face and said, "Brother-in-law, wait a minute. Let's discuss it."

Li Qiang scratched his head and said, "Yes, big brother. We will discuss with our families before we decide how many people will go to fetch water."

"Okay, then you can discuss it as soon as possible. We have to line up early to get water from the city."

After several families left, Liu Wei walked up to Mu Shigao with a smile and said flatteringly: "Brother, can you please help me fetch the water at our house? This can also save ten cents in the city fee."

Mu Shigao patted Liu Wei on the shoulder, and then said seriously: "Brother-in-law, it's not that I won't help you. It's about fetching water. We don't know if anything else will happen."

"For example: What if each person can only fetch one tank of water. So, in order to prevent such a situation, it is better to have one person from each house."

Liu Wei felt a little dissatisfied and replied with a hint of resentment: "Okay."

Liu Wei felt that the eldest brother Mu Shigao was unreasonable and would not even help his brother-in-law.

Liu Weihei returned to his family with a calm face. Then he complained to his family.

He kept saying that the Mu family was unethical, unkind, and stingy.

After hearing this, Mu Yanqiu became a little unhappy and quarreled with him for a few times. In the end, Liu Wei's father came out to stop them.

The three brothers of Mu Shi Gao had nothing to say. The three of them were preparing to go to the city to fetch water. Not only did they need water, but they also had cattle.

After a cup of tea, the in-laws agreed and sent representatives to the city to collect water.

A group of people drove an ox cart and lined up to enter the city.

After waiting in line for about a while to burn incense, they finally arrived at Mushiquan.

After paying the entry fee, the soldiers were allowed to pass.

After entering the city, everyone discussed it and divided the group into two waves.

One wave goes to the east of the city, and the other wave goes to the west of the city. After each family has fetched water, they don’t have to wait and go directly out of the city.

The three brothers of the Mu family went to the far west of the city, while several in-laws went to the closer east of the city.

When Mu Shiquan and others arrived at the west side of the city, they found a long queue.

Mu Shigao said: "You guys line up first, I'll go see the notice over there."

"Okay, brother." Mu Shiming nodded.

"Okay, brother, go ahead." Mu Shiquan took the cow rope from Mu Shigao's hand.

After a while

Mu Shigao came back with a calm face, "Because of the shortage of water, each household can only fetch water once every three days. The buckets used to fetch water are based on the county government buckets."

"If the county government's water bucket is smaller, it will cost a lot of money to fill our big water tank."

"Money is a trivial matter. It would be nice to have water." Mu Shiquan doesn't care much about money. "It's nice to be able to buy water with money, but it would be despairing to be afraid that you can't buy water even if you have money."

!”

Mu Shigao sighed, "Indeed. Compared with money, water is more important."

After waiting in line for about half an hour, it was Mu's turn.

When the three brothers from the Mu family entered the yard, they saw the buckets next to the well, with expressions of surprise on their faces. The county government's buckets were ordinary household buckets.

It would take at least ten buckets from the county government to fill the big water tank they brought.

The yamen servant said numbly: "Fetch the water yourself. How many buckets of water do you want? How many buckets do you need?"

"Go ahead."

"Okay, brother." The three of them replied in unison.

After that, the three of them fetched water together, and it took them as long as a cup of tea to fill the three large water tanks.

The three of them paid for the water and left Shifang Inn.

After leaving Shifang Inn, Mu Shiming and Mu Shiquan left the city first. Mu Shigao wanted to find out about becoming an immortal.

But after asking the waiters and shop owners in the city, they had never heard of the immortal.

Mu Shigao returned disappointed.

When the two brothers Mu Shiming returned to their resettlement place, Mu Dabin quickly stepped forward to inquire.

Knowing that a large vat of water costs one hundred pennies makes my heartache visible to the naked eye.

"This water is really expensive."

Mu Shiquan quickly explained: "Dad, money is a trivial matter. You can just earn it later."

"Yes, dad, you don't have to worry about money. You can still buy water with money. If things continue like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy water even if I have money." Mu Shiming also helped to console him.

Mu Dabin also understands this truth, but he still can't help but feel sorry for money.

After that, everyone started to light a fire and boil water.

Qingcao took advantage of adults not paying attention and sneaked to several large water tanks. Then she added some space water into several large water tanks.

Because space water can strengthen the body and relieve fatigue. She discovered this accidentally when harvesting grain.

During the half month of escaping, she would secretly provide water for her family members to drink. This would ensure that their family members would not get sick.

After adding space water, Qingcao sneaked back to sit next to his family.

At noon, the village chief asked each household to send a representative and discuss the matter.

The main thing is to discuss whether they want to stay in Anfeng City for a few days. If so, they must find other places to settle.

Because the place where they are now placed is too close to the city gate and is not very safe.

Because people coming and going are disaster victims. It is easy for conflicts to occur and it is dangerous.

If they don't stop, they will set off at 00:00 tomorrow morning and continue on their way. So those who need to replenish supplies must do so today.

In the end, the minority obeyed the majority and decided not to stop.

The Mu family still has enough supplies, so there is no need to go to the city to buy more.

As for their in-laws, the Liu family and the Li family felt that something was missing, so Liu Wei and Li Qiang went to the city together again.

But when it got dark, the two of them had not returned yet.

The Liu family and the Li family were very worried. The two families came to find Brother Mu Shigao San. They hoped that they would go to the city together to find Liu Wei and Li Qiang.

Mu Shigao agreed, but he asked Mu Shiquan to stay and protect the family. If the three grown men all left, in case something happened.

None of the three members of their family has a strong man to protect them, so one person has to be left to take care of the family.

The two brothers Mu Shigao and brothers from the Liu and Li families went to the city to look for someone.

Several people searched the city but could not find anyone. Because it was getting late and the city gate was closed, they had to stay overnight in the city.

Qingcao looked at the closed city gate and said very worriedly: "Dad, the city gate is closed. The eldest and second uncles haven't come out yet. Did something happen to uncle and the others? Otherwise, why didn't the eldest uncle and the others find anyone to come out?"

Mu Shiquan rubbed Qingcao's head, "Why do you worry so much, little girl? Be careful not to grow taller."

"Am I worried about my uncle and the others?" If she were an outsider, she wouldn't worry about it.

"Okay, you can play by yourself."

Qingcao pouted, it is true that children have no human rights. Qingcao hummed and then left.

Mu Shiquan turned around and went to find Mu Dabin.
