Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 1897

While I was worrying, there was the sound of a carriage running, and it was the convoy that went to fetch water and came back!
And Danian ran ahead of the convoy on horseback, and came over first to report to Gu Jinli: "Madam, Lao Bao and the others failed to get water, and even broke a carriage. Lao Bao was hit by a carriage to save others."

Sure enough, the Grizzly Guard didn't give water, and even beat people!
Gu Jinli's face darkened, and he asked, "How is Lao Bao injured? Is it serious?"

Danian shook his head: "Lao Bao is a veteran, experienced, only injured his arm, and Uncle Mu Tong is looking at his wound in the carriage, and they will come over in a while."

He came here ahead of time to tell his wife, so that she would know what to do.

"Okay, I got it." Gu Jinli responded, and explained to Da Nian: "The next few days will be passed down, and everyone will eat dry food, and each person will have a bowl of water every day. Unless they are sick or patrolling soldiers, everyone else Don't ask for more water."

If the water is not available, they must make arrangements in advance, and they cannot use up the existing water.

"Yes." Danian rode away, first ran to inform Yao Baihu, and then informed the relatives and servants of each family.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at the right house.

Gu Jinli lives here, and Zuo Zhai is where Yao Baihu and the others work. Gu Jinli usually doesn't go there.

But Lao Bao and the others knew that Gu Jinli was powerful, and Gu Jinli gave the money for fetching water, so they came back to her as soon as possible.

"Call!" The officer stopped the carriage.

"Ma'am, Lao Bao is fine. He was hit by a carriage and dislocated his arm. I have already fixed it for him." Uncle Mu Tong's voice came, and after reassuring Gu Jinli, he raised the curtain and helped Lao Bao down. .

Lao Bao's face was covered with bruises and bruises, and his feet were a little limp. When he saw Gu Jinli, he said guiltily: "Madam, forgive me, I will not be able to fetch water in the end."

After saying that, he handed the money bag he was holding onto to her, and said even more guiltily: "I ordered five taels...but the people from Grizzly Guards took the money and wouldn't let us in... Don't worry, madam, the five taels of money came from my Deducted from military pay."

Gu Jinli shook his head: "You don't need to make up for the money, as long as you are fine, as for the water, we can think of a way, don't worry too much."

"Ma'am, Da Nian said that Lao Bao and the others didn't get any water. I'll come over to have a look and ask Lao Bao a few words." Yao Baihu immediately brought Lu Shi over after hearing the news.

Gu Jinli nodded: "Go to the tent and talk about it."

Gu Jinli took the group of them to a large tent next to the house.

This big tent was built by Qin Sanlang before he left, it was used for him to meet his subordinates who came to him urgently when he was at home, and now Gu Jinli is here to meet Yao Baihu and the others.

"Old Bao, what's going on, tell me clearly." Yao Baihu asked as soon as he sat down.

Old Bao sighed, and told about their fetching water at the Grizzly Guard... They are the Grizzly Guards who have arrived halfway through the hour, and they are the first batch of soldiers who came to fetch water. According to the rules, they took out their military cards and reported The guard can go in to fetch water after keeping up with Feng's name.

But when the people of Grizzly Guard heard that they were soldiers under Qin Qianhu's command, they immediately changed their attitude and stopped them, saying that it was cold and the well was frozen and they could not fetch water.

This is simply nonsense!
The soldiers and horses of the Shigang Guard who came after them could go in to fetch water. Why did the well freeze when they arrived?
Lao Bao knew that the Grizzly Guards were deliberately embarrassing them, so he stuffed five taels of silver into the gatekeeper's general banner, and begged him to go in and inform Zhuang Qianhu that the people from Chang Liang Wei Qin Qianhu had come to fetch water.

Zongqi collected the money and left, but he didn't come out for more than an hour.

"The people guarding the gate of the guardhouse are not allowed to leave their posts without permission. The general flag can't come out for a long time. I think it was authorized by Zhuang Qianhu. I was in a hurry, so I simply cited General Xu's military order, saying that General Xu said, Nowadays not all guards have wells, in order to ensure that the soldiers can drink water, the guards with wells must not refuse the soldiers of other guards without wells to draw water, and ask them to let us in."

"It may be that these words angered them. Later, the horse was frightened, the carriage was damaged, and I was injured. At this point, we also know that the Grizzly Guards will not give us water. , can only bring the convoy back.”

Yao Zongqi frowned, and asked the key question: "After you were injured, did the generals of the Grizzly Guard come out to ask?"

Lao Bao shook his head: "No..."

The guards at the gate even laughed at them, telling them to go back and treat their injuries quickly, so as not to delay the injury and lose their hands.

With a bang, Yao Zongqi slapped the table and scolded: "It's too much to deceive people. The military order issued by General Xu, but they deliberately made things difficult for us. They wanted the two guards to become enemies and destroy the first line of defense against the enemy. Unity?!"

Lu Shi hurriedly persuaded him: "Sister, don't be angry, it's important to solve the draft problem first."

Gu Jinli nodded, and agreed: "Aunt Yao is right, let's write down the matter of Grizzly Guard first, and we have to go to Grizzly Guard to ask for an explanation after my husband comes back. Now we have to find a way to get water."

Grizzly Guard is the head of Zhuang Qianhu, and only Qin Sanlang of the same rank is qualified to seek justice from Zhuang Qianhu.

But Yao Baihu said worriedly: "The first line of defense used to be wasteland, and it was necessary to build guards to guard it before digging wells. However, there are few well-digging masters. The first line of defense is only one of the three guards. We have all the wells, but the Grizzly Bear Guard won't let us fetch water, so we can only go further to Saliu Guard. However, Qian Hu of Saliu Guard is also a member of General Jiang. Hu is a gang."

The Grizzly Guards didn't even fetch water for them, but Sha Liuwei could?

"And begging is too useless!" Yao Baihu felt aggrieved and didn't want to ask for help.

Gu Jinli thought of something: "Xiaoji, go to the house and ask Ji Zhenniang about the Dabu Well."

She remembered that Dabuwei was digging a well, and that well was dug at the same time as Shaliuwei's well. Now that Salixwei's well has been dug, Dabuwei's well should be almost dug. .

Not long after, when Xiaoji and Erqing came back, what she told her was: "Ma'am, the wells in Dabuwei have not been dug. I heard that after the imperial decree came down, the masters who dug wells in Dabuwei were transferred away. Shaliuwei, and before the soil was completely frozen, dug the wells in Salixwei."

Damn!

Gu Jinli couldn't help swearing, it's so simple, the person who dug the well was immediately transferred away by the imperial decree, do you want to make it so ugly?
Yao Baihu was also very angry, and wanted to yell at him, but he was afraid of General Xu and General Jiang, so he didn't dare to swear.

Gu Jinli asked Er Qing again: "Have you seen the well in Dabuwei? How deep has it been dug? Has water come out?"

Erqing also knew that it was difficult to get water in the northwest, and Gu Jinli often talked about digging a deep well, so after arriving in Dabuwei, he asked You An to look at the well. You An told her the situation, and now replied: " We dug nine feet deep, but the land here is dry, so we haven't seen any water yet."

Nine feet deep?
That is more than 20 meters away!
Gu Jinli's eyes brightened when he heard this: "It's a deep well. If this well is drilled in shallow water, if it's drilled a few meters down, water will probably come out!"

But Yao Baihu said: "I'm afraid we won't be able to dig. The weather is too cold and the soil is frozen solid, so we can't dig at all."
