Chapter 235: flashlight
Yang Yu: "Okay, if it rains heavily, we will hide first." In fact, if the mountain torrent really comes, they can hide where they can go even if they hide.
Zhou Wei was about to leave after dinner, Feng Yi was a little tired after a busy day, so Zhou Wei stared at it in the middle of the night. Yang Yu suddenly stopped Zhou Wei when he was going out: "Zhou Wei! Wait a minute."
Zhou Wei looked at Yang Yu suspiciously, and comforted: "Don't worry! It shouldn't be raining if it's not going to rain."
Yang Yu shook her head: "I didn't say that." She put her hand in her sleeve, and after a long hesitation in her heart, she took out something and handed it to Zhou Wei, saying, "You take this thing, it is late in the mountains, it can be used for Lighting." The torch was completely useless on rainy days, so Yang Yu thought about giving Zhou Wei a flashlight.
Zhou Wei brought it over, looked at the pitch-black thing in his hand and asked, "Can this illuminate?"
Yang Yu nodded and started to teach him step by step. When the light came on, Zhou Wei said in surprise: "This thing is so powerful, how can a small one emit such a bright light."
Yang Yu: "This thing is called a flashlight, you must keep him."
Zhou Wei regained his senses after hearing this, turned off the flashlight in a panic, put it in his sleeve, and even used his inner strength to listen to the surrounding movement, seeing that no one was relieved.
When he left, he did not forget to instruct the tea lady: "You don't need to know about any of these things on your body except me. You must not say that you know it?"
Yang Yu: "Don't worry! I know it in my heart, you should be careful along the way."
Seeing this, Zhou Wei also knew that he could not delay any longer, so he left in a hurry.
When he got to the mountain, it was pitch black, because it rained and there was not even a shadow of the moonlight. Although he could see at night, it hurt his eyes very much. Zhou Wei went deeper, and when he heard no one around, he took out the flashlight and turned it on. In an instant, a beam of strong light shot out, and the surrounding environment was clearly seen.
There should be a flashlight in hand, Zhou Wei's action was much faster, and he completed the task within a few quarters of an hour.
Zhou Wei found a cave on the mountain and began to study the flashlight in his hand. Unfortunately, even though he was still a little powerless in the face of high-tech things, he had to sigh the magic of this thing.
When Zhou Wei came back, Yang Yu had already slept, but she tossed and turned that night. In fact, she didn't sleep well at all. Yang Yu had a dream, and the dream was full of the shadow of a mountain torrent. Yang Yu didn't know it at this time. What happened, I thought about it and fell asleep again.
When she woke up, she saw that there was no sound of rain outside. Yang Yu excitedly walked to the door wearing his middle clothes and slippers, and saw that the rain had passed, and the sun was already hanging up early.
The yard was also covered with wheat at this time, and there was not even a place to go. Fortunately, the rain stopped in time, otherwise their wheat would have been ruined.
However, after the rain stopped, what brought everyone was not joy but a burst of anger. More than half of the people in the village didn't get it back that day. .
Yang Yu didn't dare to show off too much at this time, so he could only stay at home and not go out, and even the wheat didn't dare to bask in the sun.
In this rain, their city suffered serious losses, and less than half of the food they recovered was less than half. The prefect in the city was said to be dying of grief.
After a few days, the wheat has been husked successfully, and the patriarch has begun to take people from house to house to collect taxes. However, it was not very successful. No matter what the patriarch said, some people just cried and said they couldn't come up with it. But it is true. This time everyone lost so much food. The court not only did not reduce the income, but also increased it by 10% on the original basis. The people are really miserable.
The court's increase in taxes was also a last resort, because the Third Prince had already fought with Beixin, and Beixin would not be able to live in winter and could only think about other things.
The patriarch in the village on their side did not collect the food, and the prefect of the city ordered the government to help collect the food, which became the fuse of the conflict. What the people are afraid of is the government, and what they are afraid of is the officials in official uniforms. These people are not so gentle, and they even used force against some people who refused to pay for food. This year has been nothing short of chaos.
Feng Yi and Zhou Wei have also been busy recently, and they go out from time to time. They are mysterious and they are not allowed to be asked. Yang Yu felt that their village seemed to be getting more and more depressed this winter. Originally, they were planning to build a vegetable greenhouse at this time, but Zhou Wei also stopped them. In recent days, many people have been short of food, and they have no choice but to fall for the grass. When I was working on a vegetable greenhouse, I couldn't help being a little too pushy.
On this day, the children came back without the excitement of the past, Yang Yu: "What's wrong with all of you, all of you are listless."
Xixi said sadly: "Mother, Xiaocao with me, Zhaodi and the others don't study anymore."
Zhou Rui: "So are we, Xiaopang and Tiedan are not going either."
Yang Yu felt very sad when he heard it. How could he have money to read to his children when this person would not be able to eat.
Yang Yu thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow, you will bring something for the Master when you leave, and you will also stay at home to study from the day after tomorrow." It's better to be more cautious these days.
Zhou Ze: "Mother, I see."
Zhou Rui looked up at Yang Yu with a wrinkled face and asked, "Mother, is it really that serious this time?" He heard from many classmates who were studying together that many of their families had already started to run out of food, and some of them were afraid Can't hold on to the New Year.
Yang Yu touched his head: "I'm afraid this year is really difficult, but don't worry! Mother will definitely make you full." In the cellar she dug with Zhou Wei two years ago There are few things, and even her space has a lot of inventory, enough for their family to last for a few years.
Waking up early the next day, Yang Yu sent the children to the private school after they had finished cooking. Before leaving, Yang Yu also found a box for Zhou Yu to carry. Inside was the food for the master, and the master treated them to them. The children in the family are good, especially if they like Zhou Rui. Although Yang Yu doesn't plan to let the children go, the tuition fee that should be taught is not less.
When I got to the master, I saw the master sitting alone at the desk and sighing. The bustling private school was also empty, and there were no students.
Zhou Rui: "Master!"
The master raised his head and looked at the four children in front of him, and forced a smile: "You are here, find a seat and sit down!" After thinking for a while, he said, "No need to look, just sit in the first row." Just pick up the book and start teaching.
