As the days passed, Li Qingling's worries became deeper and deeper. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. The flowers, plants and trees in the forest did not have enough water, and they were slowly withering.
Especially the small river, the water level is low again. If this continues, the small river will be completely dry within half a month.
If this continues, their family, even if they have food, will starve to death here because they have no water to cook.
Li Qingling felt that they couldn't just sit and wait for death, and if they continued to sit and wait for death like this, they would really lose their lives.
"Let's dig a well!" Li Qingling hesitated for a while after eating, before speaking to Liu Zhimo, "The water level of the river is getting lower and lower, and it will really dry up completely in a few days. , At that time, if there is no water, what shall we do?" It would be great if we could dig a well and get spring water, and she would not worry that there would be no water to drink.
Liu Zhimo also knows the seriousness of the problem now. Once the river runs out of water, they will be forced to embark on the road of escape. If they really flee, the probability of their family surviving safely is very small.
In order to survive, it is imperative to dig a well.
"I don't know much about digging wells, do you understand?" Liu Zhimo looked up at Li Qingling and asked, digging a well is not so easy, it depends on whether the soil amulet meets the conditions for digging a well.
If the conditions are not met, digging down may collapse, which is very dangerous.
When Li Qinglin heard Liu Zhimo's words, she shook her head with a serious mood, saying that she would not know either.
When the well was dug at home before, she didn't go to see it, and she didn't know the knowledge about it. If she was allowed to mess around, people would die.
Did you just give up like this
Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo felt a little heavy, they looked at each other, and each fell silent.
If there is really no way to dig a well, then you can only find a water source.
Without water, you will really die of thirst.
At this time, Dahe's timid voice sounded, "I will...I can dig a well." His words successfully drew everyone's attention to him, which made him even more nervous. With a straight face and rubbing his hands, he said, "My father digs wells for people in the village, and I followed him to see them. He also told me how to look at the quality of the soil."
Li Qingling looked at the anxious Dahe, with a smile on her face, "Okay, I believe you." She believed that Dahe would not say this and deceive them.
If he is not sure, he dare not say it.
Li Qingling's words of believing made Dahe's eyes light up. He originally thought that Li Qingling might not believe his words, but he didn't expect that she would believe him as soon as he finished speaking.
This inadvertently increased his confidence.
"Since Dahe Club has jobs in this area, let's find it now!" Liu Zhimo patted Dahe's shoulder encouragingly, thinking that there was no hope, but unexpectedly, hope was right in front of him, it really was, Another village ah!
"Okay..." Dahe nodded heavily, turned around and ran to get the hoes, and went to the riverside with Liu Zhimo and the others.
Dahe wandered around the riverside before finally deciding on a location not too far from the riverside. He said that a well could be dug there.
Hearing his words, Li Qingling dug with a hoe without saying a word.
After digging for half a month, the water was finally dug out. The moment Li Qingling saw the spring water, his eyes were moist.
Half a month, it was really hard, and I was exhausted physically and mentally.
Fortunately, they didn't give up. If they gave up halfway, they would really never see the spring water.
After Li Qingling went up from the well, she gave Dahe a thumbs up and praised him a lot. She knew that he was under a lot of pressure because the spring water hadn't been dug out during this period, and she was afraid that she might make a wrong judgment.
Today, the spring water finally came out, so he can rest assured.
Dahe scratched his head, and smiled foolishly, he was completely relieved, he finally lived up to everyone's expectations.
Several people worked together to put down the well circle and put the well cover on, and it was over.
Li Qingling sat slumped on the ground. Although she was very tired, she was very happy in her heart.
She didn't expect that a momentary act of kindness would benefit her.
Dahe, a young child, not only knows how to dig wells, but also digs well circles, which really surprised her.
If it weren't for him, in a few days, they might really face the dilemma of having no water to drink.
Her eyes looked worriedly at the river water that was about to bottom out, wondering when it would rain in this hot and deadly sky? When will this drought end
She really couldn't stand it, it was too hot.
"Let's go home." Li Qingling stood up and said loudly, it's really too hot this day, sitting here for a minute, I feel like I'm going to be roasted, it's better to go back to a cooler cave to escape the heat .
Liu Zhimo took a hoe and walked back side by side with her, followed by three boys.
As soon as she returned to the entrance of the cave, Li Qingling felt a burst of cold air rushing out, and her hot body felt much more comfortable in an instant.
She is really glad that she is living in a cave at the moment. If she lives in a house, it will be extremely hot.
The temperature must be at least forty degrees.
really hot...
"Sister..." Li Qingning swayed towards Li Qingling like a little penguin, and kept calling her sister with her small mouth.
Li Qingling responded, put down the hoe in his hand, squatted on the ground, separated his hands, and waited for Li Qingning to come over.
Li Qingning giggled and threw herself into Li Qingling's arms. Li Qingling kissed her little cheek and asked her if she was good or not? Did you listen to sister Rou
It's true that the children of the peasant family are in charge of the family early, and a child as young as Rou Rou has to take care of Li Qingning who is younger than her.
Regardless of her small size, she still looks good when she takes care of others.
Li Qingning hugged Li Qingling's neck with her small hands, nodded her head, and stammered that she listened to what Sister Rou and Sister Xi said.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingling patted her little head and said she was really good, and then praised Liu Zhirou and Xiaoxi a few words, making both of them blush.
Li Qingning is a very obedient and sensible child, taking care of her is very easy.
"Miss Xiaoling, you can eat, it's already cooked." Xiaoxi blushed and whispered.
Li Qingling suddenly felt that Xiaoxi was really helpful. She could take care of the two little girls at home and cook, so that they could have rice or porridge when they came back. She saved a lot of heart.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Xiaoxi shook his head and said it was not hard.
Sister Xiaoling is the savior of her and her younger brother. If Sister Xiaoling hadn't brought them back, they would have starved to death long ago.
She should help with some work.
Li Qingling smiled and asked them if they had eaten
"Eat." Before Xiaoxi could open her mouth, Li Qingning nodded and said that she had eaten, and even reached out to pat her stomach.
Seeing her naive look, Li Qingling kissed her several times, "Ghost spirit." She put Li Qingning back on the bed, let her play, and she went to eat.
Before the meal was finished, Ah Huang ran back in a hurry. Before she could tell him to eat, he bit her trouser leg and dragged her out.
With a thump in his heart, Li Qingling quickly finished the remaining two mouthfuls of rice, and vaguely asked Ah Huang what happened
Ah Huang was impatient and anxious, but he couldn't speak, so he turned around in a circle, arched Li Qingling's bow and arrow with his big head, and looked at Li Qingling again.
Seeing Ah Huang like this, Li Qingling had a bad premonition in his heart.
She quickly went up to get the bow and arrow, "Don't make any noise at home, I'll go and see with Ah Huang, what happened?" After that, she took the bow and arrow, followed behind Ah Huang and left go out.
Ah Huang took her along some remote roads, and she followed silently with a bow and arrow.
Ah Huang didn't stop until he came to a thorny place. He looked at her and then outside.
Li Qingling didn't need Ah Huang's reminder at this moment, she had already heard someone talking outside.
She looked through the bushes and saw a group of men in soldier's clothes sitting on the ground talking.
"I don't know how long this battle will last? If we continue to fight like this, we will either be hacked to death or starved to death."
"The prince will not rebel later, and he will not rebel sooner, but he rebelled during the severe drought. What can we do?"
"I've been drinking porridge for a while, and my mouth has faded away. I wonder if there are any prey in this mountain? Let me make a tooth sacrifice."
"Take a break and go take a look!"
Li Qingling was shocked when he heard what they said, and the hand holding the bow and arrow was trembling.
These people are soldiers and horses of King Nanyan, if they find her family, they will really die without a place to bury them.
She took a breath quietly, winked at Ah Huang, and left quietly, one by one.
After walking a certain distance, Li Qingling ran wildly, if he didn't hurry up, it would be too late.
"Ah Huang, you go quietly to find Ah Bai, continue running to the deep mountains, don't confront those bad guys, they are numerous and powerful, we can't fight them, we can only hide, wait for them to leave return."
Li Qingling told Ah Huang while running, Ah Huang hummed and ran in another direction.
She ran back to the cave at the fastest speed, and before she was out of breath, she moved the stones piled up at the entrance of the cave as quickly as possible, covering the entrance of the cave.
After meeting Xiong Xiazi and Hua Baozi last time, they had to block the entrance of the cave with stones every day before they dared to sleep.
She also looked outside and blocked the entrance of the cave with stones. As long as she didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find that it was a cave.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Liu Zhimo saw Li Qingling flustered, his heart sank, and he asked her in a low voice.
After blocking the entrance of the cave, Li Qingling breathed a sigh of relief. She said in a low voice, "A group of Nanyan King's soldiers are coming from Songshan, let's hide first." Hope not to be found.
Hearing this, Liu Zhimo's heart sank even more.
