Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 9 Out of the Water

Gu Damu and Gu Dalin's family have many children. The two brothers gave birth to eight boys and six girls. There is also a frail and elderly mother. The family consumes a lot of water.

Gu Damu felt very sad when he remembered the appearance of several children who were thirsty but had no water to drink.But he is the head of the family, and the decision he makes is related to the life of the family, so he has to be cautious.

Gu Damu's eldest son sat on the periphery with the children of several families, blocking the sight of the surrounding victims and preventing them from seeing the adults of several families discussing matters. Seeing his father hesitated, he couldn't help but say, "Father, my son is not afraid of being tired. This work is our family's way of life, and we have to do it."

When Gu Dalin's son heard what his cousin said, he followed: "Uncle, Brother Qingliang is right. We are willing to do this work, and we are not afraid of being tired."

Tired and bitter, afraid of what?

As long as there is water, all the hard work is worth it.

Seeing the support of the children, Gu Dalin persuaded again: "The children are willing to do it, and they are not afraid of hardship. Don't hesitate, eldest brother, and decide quickly. The eldest guy doesn't have much time to wait for our house."

This is a matter of the five families. The third uncle said that a decision must be made quickly on this matter.

Gu Dalin added another sentence: "Brother, my mother hasn't drank water for a day. I can't find water tonight. What will my mother drink tomorrow?"

Gu Damu has always been filial. Thinking that the old lady was too thirsty to speak, he finally patted his thigh and said, "Third uncle, this work is done for our family. Let's go dig water tonight."

When the third grandfather heard this, a smile appeared on his dark and serious face: "Okay, since everyone is willing to dig water, then this matter is settled, we will gather at the entrance to the mountain pass in half an hour and dig water together. "

After the matter was finalized, each family took action. The Tian family, Gu Damu, and Gu Dalin took the children back to their resting place, had dinner, and packed up the tools they could use.

After the Tian Gu family left, Gu Dashan and Mrs Cui came to the resting place of the third grandmother's house. Both of them had injuries on their faces. Mrs. Cui had a clear slap print on her face, and Gu Dashan's forehead was red. Something is swollen.

The third grandmother looked angrily: "Then Mr. Pan is getting more and more poisonous as he gets older. Why doesn't God come down and strike her to death."

"Okay, we still have work to do, so hurry up and pack up and go." The third grandpa whispered to Gu Dashan and Cui Shi that Gu Jinli had found the underground waterway and that the families were going to dig water in the mountains overnight.

Gu Dashan and Cui's eyes widened when they heard it, and their hands trembled with joy: "Yes, there is a water source." It was discovered by his little fish.

The third grandfather nodded: "Well, you two quickly go to dinner, tonight's work is heavy, you are full."

They have already eaten it, leaving three servings, two for their husband and wife, and one for the Chu family.

Gu Jinxiu brought the two of them dinner, which was a mixed stew of Sichuan grass vegetables, beans, leaves, and grass roots in wooden bowls.

The couple took over and ate it, and it tasted weird, but it was the only cooked meal they had eaten in the past few days, and Cui finished it in tears.

After they finished their dinner, the third grandfather, Luo Fu, and Luo Wu had already packed up their tools and tied them to their bodies.

Father Luo knew that the old Gu family's iron tools and jars were all in charge of Mrs. Gu, and Gu Dashan had no tools available, so he handed a shovel and two water jugs to Gu Dashan: "Take it."

Gu Dashan took it gratefully: "Second brother Luo..."

Father Luo smiled heartily: "Don't say anything, you have followed the old master to dig the well, and you will need to work hard tonight."

The third grandmother also distributed her iron pots, water jugs, bamboo tubes, and ropes to several children and tied them to them: "Hang them all up, I'll use them tonight."

Gu Jinli also carried his straw mat on his back, and said to the third grandma, "Third grandma, let's bring the straw mat too."

"Yes, yes, bring a straw mat. You have to take turns to rest when you dig soil in the middle of the night. You will need a straw mat."

Gu Jinli smiled, she brought straw mats not only for rest, but also for other great purposes.

After everyone tied up the things, the third grandfather looked at the completely dark sky and said: "Xiaoyu and Luo's family will go first, we will wait for half an hour before starting, we will all walk in the dark, gather at the mountain pass, and then set off the fire after entering the mountain. Bundle."

Although their resting place is remote, there are many disaster victims around. If there is too much movement, it will be eye-catching, so they must leave in batches.

Father Luo nodded and took Luo Wu, Luo Huiniang, and Gu Jinli to leave first.

The darkness of night covered them.

Two quarters of an hour later, the five families met at the entrance to the mountain, lit the torches with fire zigzags, and walked towards the deep mountain together.

Gu Xiaoyu walked in front to show everyone the way. After walking for half an hour, he finally came to the place where he picked Sichuan herbs.

Chu and Aunt Tian were not here, and Father Luo shouted worriedly, "My son, it's us, come out quickly."

When Mr. Chu heard Father Luo's voice, he took Aunt Tian to get out of the weeds: "We thought it was other disaster victims, and we hid for fear of danger."

The Chu family was lit by the torchlight, looked at a large group of people, and said with a smile: "Everyone is here." Even the old lady of Gu Damu and Gu Dalin came, which shows that everyone attaches great importance to the water source.

The third grandmother handed her the dinner food she brought: "Hurry up."

Tian Erhua also handed over the dinner prepared for Aunt Tian.

Gu Jinli took everyone to the small hole dug earlier, poked into the small hole with a wooden stick, and brought out the muddy wet soil: "Third grandpa, look."

The third grandpa grasped the wooden stick, looked at the muddy wet soil above, and nodded excitedly: "There must be water in the ground, so just dig here."

Luo's father was a escort, with a burly body and strength, and took Luo Wu and the two to hoe together.

The third grandfather said from the side: "First dig a three-meter-wide pit, and then dig deeper."

The wells dug are all funnel-shaped, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and then deepened.

The Luo family's father and son are extremely powerful martial arts practitioners. They quickly dug a three-meter-wide pit, and then followed the pit to reduce the area and continue to dig deeper.

The girls and daughters-in-law of several families were responsible for hauling the soil. When they had nothing to pack, they piled the excavated soil onto the straw mat, and a few children carried the straw mat to transport the soil away.

The other strong laborers who can dig soil are resting next to them. I don’t know when to dig tonight. They have to take turns, otherwise such a heavy work will be exhausting.

The Luo family's father and son are very powerful. In less than an hour, the father and son have dug a three-meter-deep mud pit.

Seeing that the two of them were so tired, the third grandpa hurriedly called them up to rest, woke up Gu Dashan and Uncle Tian, ​​and let them both go down the pit.

Gu Dashan and Uncle Tian couldn't wait for a long time, they tied ropes and went down to the pit and continued to dig soil.

Gu Jinan and Uncle Tian's eldest son followed, put the excavated soil into the pot, and transported it out of the mud pit.

After half an hour, the mud pit was more than one meter deep. Gu Dashan and Uncle Tian collapsed from exhaustion and were lifted out of the mud pit.

The third grandpa hurriedly asked, "Is the water out?"

Gu Dashan shook his head: "The bottom of the pit is mud-like, and there is no water yet."

The third grandpa frowned and called to Brother Gu Damu and Gu Dalin: "Go down and dig."

"Hey." Brother Gu Damu and Gu Dalin responded, tied a rope and went down the mud pit.

After Brother Gu Damu was too tired to dig, the third grandfather, Gu Qingliang and Gu Qingtian cousins ​​went down to the pit and continued to dig.

Several families took turns digging the soil, and they were busy for several hours without seeing the water.

Gu Jinli waited anxiously while helping to carry the soil, until she fell asleep with exhaustion, and was woken up by a burst of cheers: "The water is out, the water is out!"
