Mr. Xu's words hit the mark.
And now, he has come up with a temporary solution.
People from all the villages present were a little concerned, and as the people from Lingshui Village left, Jia Gentian from Yinghe Village simply called the people in his own village to go back.
Instead of wasting time here, fighting for life and death, it is better to go back and dig wells, dig a few wells at will, and ensure that the sweet potato seedlings in the ground can grow and people will not starve to death. There is plenty of time to avenge the vengeance of cutting off the water flow.
If nothing else, just cutting off any future contact with the in-laws in the villages upstream would stifle them to death.
"Brother Zhenshan, what should we do?"
Watching the people who came to trouble them from Lingshui Village and Yinghe Village leave, the village chiefs from several villages upstream gathered here looked at Lin Zhenshan together.
Lin Zhenshan twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling really uncomfortable.
When he was unwilling to cut off the Peach Blossom River, it was all instigated by these people.
Now, seeing that something might be going to happen, each of these people has left them alone, what a bunch of bastards!
But Lin Zhenshan couldn't do anything.
Forget it, let’s take a loss and remember it!
"Tear it down!"
Lin Zhenshan looked at the young people from his village who were guarding the wooden embankment, "Hurry up and collect the wood!"
"Come here one by one and let them dry in the sun. They are good materials for building a house and making beams. Don't be washed away by the water!"
Lin Zhenshan yelled, and the young men in Shangxi Village got busy.
When the dam was built before, ropes were tied to each log. Now, as long as the ropes are untied and the water flows down, the logs will stand up on their own.
After removing the vertical logs, the same method was used for the remaining horizontal logs stuck in the narrow channel. First, cut the ropes connecting these logs, and then drag the floating logs ashore one by one.
It only took less than half an hour for the wooden gate to be dismantled. The white river water surged down, causing a huge wave in an instant. Several big fish were also taken out of the river and fell to the shore. On the beach, the villagers of nearby Shangxi Village got a big deal.
"Leave, come back!"
"Go back and dig a well!"
…
The villagers from the upstream villages who had gathered at the narrow channel of Taohua River dispersed one after another.
At the same time, the villagers from the downstream villages mentioned by Mr. Xu were already on their way upstream. On the way, they saw the Taohua River surging down. The people in these villages were quite confused.
The battle was over before they even reached the battlefield.
"I'm back, I'm back!"
The village chiefs of several villages simply dispersed their people, but they did not follow them back to the village, but made an appointment to go straight to Lingshui Village together. This matter must be clarified!
When they arrived at Lingshui Village, they found that the people of Lingshui Village were digging holes within a certain distance on the bank of Taohua River in groups.
"Old Qi, what are you doing?"
After finding Guan Laoqi and exchanging pleasantries, the village chiefs asked about their doubts.
Guan Laoqi pointed to the people digging the hole and said: "Dig a well!"
"Isn't this year doomed to be a severe drought? We can't wait for God to rain, and the water in the Peach Blossom River may stop flowing at some point, so we have to prepare early."
"Can this dig out water?"
"Just digging like this? Shouldn't we ask a Feng Shui master to figure it out?"
"That's right!"
Several village leaders really looked down upon the behavior of the people in Lingshui Village.
Guan Laoqi curled his lips and said: "Can't you tell me, how old are you? Are you looking for a Feng Shui master? I have all the money and food, but I still dig a damn well?"
"This is just a matter of luck. If you dig out water, God has opened your eyes. If you can't dig out water, then you deserve to suffer!"
It’s so simple and plain!
Guan Laoqi waved his hand and continued to work hard.
Several villagers looked at each other, looked at the energetic scene of the people in Lingshui Village, and finally decided to do the same thing when they returned to the village.
If you dig out water, God bless you, if you can't dig out water, you deserve to be punished!
…
Because of Mr. Xu's idea, the method of digging wells to find water quickly spread in the villages around Taohua River.
Villagers in various villages, apart from carrying water for irrigation every day, spend the rest of their time digging wells.
Don't tell me, someone really hit a dead mouse with a blind cat.
And this blind cat was clearly talking about Xu Laoer.
On the second day when people in Lingshui Village were digging wells along the Taohua River, Xu Laoer was tired from work, so he went home to find something to eat, and then inadvertently took his sights on the old turtle staying in the corner of his house.
The yard of his house is not very big, but it is not big, but why does this old turtle stay in that corner
Thinking of this, Xu Laoer wondered whether there was actually water under the corner of his house
But Xu Laoer wouldn't dare to mess with this old turtle without his father's permission.
In this family, Lao Turtle is an ancestor.
Well, this ancestor didn't just enjoy himself without working. One fish a day was really difficult for him.
After telling his father about his guess, Mr. Xu thought about it and felt that it was really possible.
Even if this old turtle has not become a spirit, he is still spiritual.
And the eldest river clam also stayed here and did not escape back to Peach Blossom River.
What does this mean? It means there is something weird about this place!
dig!
Mr. Xu made the decision immediately.
Therefore, the three men of the Xu family no longer wandered by the Taohua River, but broke open a section of their own courtyard wall and began to dig a well.
Guan Laoqi received the news and hurried over.
"Brother Xu, what are you doing? I came to help you build a house and lay the foundation. How is it possible that there is water in this place?"
"That's not possible!"
Mr. Xu pointed at the removed old turtle and giant river clam, "These two big guys are willing to huddle here. I think it's a good idea. It's all luck anyway!"
When Guan Laoqi saw this, he stopped talking and said, "Then it's done, it's up to you!"
Then, Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu dug for two days, and water came out!
The white groundwater rushed out of the soil and soon flooded Xu Laoer's knee joints.
"Boss, hurry up and go find your Uncle Qi and ask him to bring someone to deliver the stones!"
"okay!"
Boss Xu ran like crazy and started calling people from afar.
As soon as Guan Laoqi and others heard that the water had been dug out, they immediately rushed over with their people.
There is naturally no shortage of stones.
Baskets of stones were sent down, and Xu Laoer and Xu Laoer casually built a circle of stones around the well.
Then, the outside of the well must be built high with stones to ensure safety.
And with the well of Lao Xu's family, everyone in the village had their thoughts set on Lao Turtle.
The poor old turtle instantly became the feng shui master in the village, specializing in finding water wells.
Xu Laoer led the team, and Lao Turtle took action.
In just three days, more than a dozen water holes were found in Lingshui Village.
Some of these water eyes are in the village and some in the fields.
With these wells, although the drought continues, the villagers of Lingshui Village feel a lot more at ease. (End of chapter)
