This world is actually a book.
It took Yun Hua a few days to fully digest this matter, or in other words, what she really needed to digest was the future of Dudu and Doudou.
In this book, it is obvious that Tang Jianqing, the main character, becomes rich later on, but the lives of his two sons, Dudu and Doudou, are extremely gloomy.
This was what Yun Hua really cared about.
As long as the heroine Xiao Ruyue was mentioned, Yun Hua didn't take it to heart at all.
If it was Tang Jianqing in the past, then maybe he might be confused by Xiao Ruyue again, but now it's not Tang Jianqing, but Bao Siqing, it is absolutely impossible for him to be confused by a woman like Xiao Ruyue.
Especially now, Bao Siqing also knew that they were in a book, and Xiao Ruyue was the heroine, so he would be more careful.
Both of them have the same plan, that is, to take care of Dudu and Doudou no matter what, these two children are the most innocent. As for the rest, so what if the world is a book? They don't just follow the plot casually.
They are the center of the world, they make the world, not the world restricts them!
Both of them have this confidence.
The following days, step by step.
In addition to working in the village, Bao Siqing also went out to make money and earn various bills.
On the county transportation team, Tang Jianqing was given the title of Martyr, but he was removed and the position was vacated, and a new person had already been arranged. Even if he came back now, it would be impossible for him to return to the transportation team.
These days, iron rice bowls are full of radishes and pits, and there is no one more.
But Bao Siqing didn't care about this trap, he felt more comfortable not going there.
The two of them didn't forget to review. Although the questions for the college entrance examination this time are quite simple for those who study hard, they don't want to be careless. It would be too embarrassing if they miss it.
This spring has been particularly dry.
It hasn't rained a drop for two months.
The Wuli River, which flows through Xiaheshu Village, has also stopped flowing.
Murakami has been scrambling for water during this time.
However, Xiaheshu Village is downstream. Liuhe Village and Shangheshu Village in the upper reaches of the family have already withdrawn their water, and when they reach Xiaheshu Village, there is nothing left.
Seeing that the leaves of the crops in the field were rolled up and were about to burn, and the field was even more cracked. Many people's wells could not get water, and the draft water had to be picked up from other houses.
Now there are only two wells in the village that can produce water, one is the well of the village party secretary Chen Fushan's family, and the other is the well of Bao Siqing and painter Lin Yun.
Everyone in the village went to Chen Fushan's house to fetch water at the beginning, but how many people in the village could drink water? How could the water coming out of that well be enough for the whole village to eat.
The few families that had a good relationship with Lin Yunhua first came to painter Lin Yun to fetch water, and then other families couldn't bear it anymore, so they also came to fetch water one after another.
I thought that Lin Yunhua would be unwilling, but in fact Lin Yunhua had no objection. If Dudu and Doudou were at home, she would ask the two little guys to help press the water.
With short hands, the people in the village began to think of Lin Yun's paintings again, saying that people in the city are educated, but they are different.
No matter what, the Tang family refused to come to Lin Yunhua to carry water.
Tang Jianbing and Chen Ying didn't care so much, they were taught by Lin Yunhua to cook and eat, and Lin Yunhua was kind to them, no matter how ugly the Tang family's old lady and the big house were with Lin Yunhua, They were always on Lin Yunhua's side, but they couldn't say it out loud to hate their parents.
Gradually, almost half of the people in the village came to Painter Lin Yun to fetch water. The well in her house was dug well at the beginning, and the water flowed out continuously, so it could be supplied. Unlike the well in Chen Fushan's house, which was too shallow, the water supply was insufficient.
Especially after half a month, the well of Chen Fushan's house simply dried up. Now that it's done, the whole village will only have the well of painter Lin Yun left.
Even if they came to fetch water, the whole village kept pumping water all day long, and the water was not enough for the whole village.
what to do
In the past two days, Tang Jianqiang took people to Liuhe Village and Shangheshu Village in the upper reaches of the Wuli River to negotiate, hoping to let the two upstream villages open the gates and release water, so that they can have some water in Heshu Village. People, livestock and crops are all needed. water.
Now is the critical period for crops. If the water shortage continues, then this year's summer grain production will not only be reduced, but the harvest will be wiped out!
No food harvest means that the entire brigade will go hungry. Who can stand it
However, there is a shortage of water everywhere. The upstream water is sufficient, but I am afraid that after the water is released, I will run out of water.
After all, the weather this year is abnormal, and no one knows when the drought will end, and when will God be willing to rain!
The attitudes of the two villages above are very tough, and they are determined not to release the water. If Xiaheshu Village dares to kill people again, they will be beaten directly.
Chen Fushan went to the commune and asked the commune leaders to negotiate.
But these days, food is related to wealth and life, and the leaders of the commune don't have enough face, so to put it bluntly, the two upstream villages just don't agree to release water!
People in the village are in a hurry, and if they don't release the water, it will kill them!
The people in the village began to gather and plan, rushing up to open their dam directly, so that the water would be released. Even if they repaired the dam again, at least a lot of water would be released.
Tang Jianqiang disagreed.
This took the whole village to go to the other two villages to open the dam. It was obvious that they wanted to fight. Village to village, so many people, all of them were desperate to do it. What if something happened
With so many people fighting, it would be a major event if something happened, a matter of life and death.
But if you don’t go, the higher-ups won’t release the water, the crops will die from drought, and the villagers will die as well. What should I do
"Drought conditions are likely to continue this year."
Yun Hua couldn't understand what Bao Siqing was tinkering with, but she could understand what he said.
"Hey, what can we do if this situation continues." Yun Hua was also worried.
Even though she has no sense of belonging to Xiaheshu Village, she really can't relax when it comes to the survival of so many people.
Not to mention the next 30 years, and the next 20 years, many people have never experienced a life of not having enough to eat, but in this era, such things as starving to death without enough food do exist. .
"What are you doing?" Yun Hua still couldn't help asking.
Bao Siqing curled his lips, "Groundwater detector, referred to as water detector."
Yun Hua was a little surprised, "It seems that the engineering team has such a thing, does it exist now?"
"The technology is not difficult, and the principle is very simple. There must be a professional engineering team, but it may be difficult to find it in a small place." Bao Siqing said, "So I made some by myself. The drought continues, and one well has two wells." The wells are useless at all, more wells are needed, and now they are all dug wells, not machine-drilled, and if you find the right location, you can save a lot of labor."
Yun Hua nodded.
While doing it, Bao Siqing explained the principle of the water finder to Yun Hua, "In fact, it uses the different resistivity of different substances, such as soil, rock, water, etc. The resistivity of these things is different..."
Bao Siqing made several trips to the county seat, and finally finished looking for the water instrument.
He made a test first, and if the effect is good, he will make a few more.
The instrument is ready, but how to let people use it
I still have to go to the village party secretary Chen Fushan.
During this time, Chen Fushan's hair was almost gray.
The drought is about to catch up with the severe drought more than ten years ago. People are very afraid, for fear that there will be starvation again.
The upper reaches refused to let the water go, and it was unrealistic to fight for water, and people would die, but if it was really pushed to that point, people might not care about anything and would have to grab water.
After discussing with Tang Jianqiang, Chen Fushan and Tang Jianqiang went to find the most experienced well-digger in the village to find a few places to dig wells and try to see if water can be dug out. Can't... Then there is really no way out, and nothing can be closed!
The site for digging the well is near Painter Cloud.
The reason is that this side is far away from the village, and the terrain is relatively low. In addition, everyone can see that the only well in the village that has water is Lin Yun's well. This is the most important reason.
All the middle-aged and middle-aged people in the village worked hard. The well has been dug for the third day, and it has been dug to a depth of seven or eight meters. There is only a bit of wet soil, and there is no water at all!
In such a hot day, and no water was dug, everyone was in a bad mood.
"If you can't, go grab water! The Wuli River is not just for their two villages. If they don't release the water, they are killing us in Xiaheshu Village. If we can't survive, they can't live either! Grab water!"
"Grab water! Grab water!"
People's blood was aroused.
Very angry! It just exploded at one point!
Chen Fushan hurried over with Bao Siqing.
"Stop it all, listen to me!"
Chen Fushan stood on the chair and shouted loudly, "Everyone be quiet!"
"Uncle Fushan, what are you going to say? Tell me when we go grab water! It's not too late, it's best to go tonight, let's fuck it! If we don't let us live, then no one will die!"
"Grab water! Grab water!"
"Shut up!"
Chen Fushan roared, "You don't know the consequences of grabbing water? How many of you can end the fight if you don't die? Who of you wants to die? Whoever wants to die, stand up!"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
But someone still said: "Uncle Fushan, no one wants to die, but if there is no water, then everyone will die together!"
"Let's dig a well first." Chen Fushan said.
"It's been digging for three days! I dug so deep that I didn't even see a drop of water. In order to dig this well, Sanwazi broke his leg and stopped digging! Anyone who likes to dig, anyway, I don't care about this well." dug!"
"If you stop digging, you won't be able to dig out any water. It's a waste of effort."
"I don't want to sweat a drop, and I don't even want to drink saliva."
Chen Fushan almost died of anger, but he also knew that he had to calm down now.
"I know that everyone is anxious that the well has not been dug. It is because we chose the wrong place. There is no water in this place! Or the water is too deep and we can't dig it."
Chen Fushan said, "I found a machine for everyone. Use this machine to test and find out where the water can be dug out!"
"Is there really a machine that can measure it? What kind of machine is this, so deep?"
"It's not a lie, is it?"
"Just such a thing, can it detect where there is water?"
Chen Fushan said, "I don't know how to use this machine either. I'd rather have the Jianqing Society. Let Jianqing operate the search for water. If we find it, we'll dig wells! If we dig a dozen wells, isn't the water enough? I heard the old man say , the drought will not be solved for another month, and the water in the Wuli River is almost gone. Even if the two villages above them stop them, they don't stop much. We take the risk to release water, but we can't release much. Let’s dig the well ourselves! In a few days, the water in the two villages above them will be used up, tell them to stare blankly!”
"Secretary, it's okay if this machine can really find water for us, but if we can't find it, we're wasting time..."
"I promise, I can find it!" Chen Fushan said, then glanced at Bao Siqing.
Bao Siqing nodded, "If I can find it, if I can't find it... I'll go grab water with you."
Ever since Bao Siqing said that he was not Tang Jianqing but that he was Bao Siqing, the villagers had always had a strange feeling about him, and they didn't pay much attention to him when he was working.
At this moment, Bao Siqing took the initiative to say that if he couldn't find water, he would follow him to grab it...
These words really surprised many people.
Tang Jianqiang gritted his teeth: "Okay, I also believe in Uncle Fukuyama! Let's dig again. If we still can't dig water, let's grab water together!"
"good!"
The energy of the villagers was aroused.
Bao Siqing took the pole and began to explore. To be on the safe side, he chose the most likely point where water would emerge from the few points he found, and directed everyone to dig.
"Are you sure it's here?" Tang Jianqiang asked.
Bao Siqing nodded.
"Jianqing, if you can't dig out the water...you have to be the first to fight for water." Someone said.
Bao Siqing nodded again, "Okay."
That being the case, dig it!
On the first day, not even a bit of wet soil was dug out.
The next day, some wet soil was dug out, but there was still no sign of water.
People have actually been discouraged.
How much effort it takes to dig a well. Everyone is tired, hungry and thirsty. They have been working hard for the past two days. After two days of digging, there is still no movement, and 80% of them will not be able to dig out water. up.
Those who are impatient will simply drop their picks and quit.
"I don't think it's a waste of effort. I have dug so deep and there is nothing."
"That's right, I'm exhausted, I might as well find a place to thank you, I'm so hungry that I've lost my energy."
This negativity is contagious.
If one person does not do it, the others will not do it either.
Tang Jianqiang himself was also a little depressed. He was trying to boost morale, but it was useless.
With a sullen face, Bao Siqing walked forward and dug by himself.
Tang Jianqiang and Tang Jianbing helped him dig together, but how long did they have to dig
Just then, Yun Hua came with Dudu and Doudou.
Two children carried a big basket, while Yun Hua carried a pole with two buckets on both sides.
"There's no food in my stomach, so of course I can't do any work, so I'll eat to cushion my stomach, and if I continue digging, I'm sure we'll be able to dig out water!" Yun Hua said.
A group of strong laborers who were passive and sabotage looked at each other in blank dismay.
These days, every household is short of food, and this Lin Zhiqing actually took out his own food for everyone to eat
She is really confident that the well can dig out water!
