Chapter 140 The Magical Well

Feng Bailing thought of some past events about Xiao Jin that Princess Shun told her.

This child seems to be born with the ability to communicate with animals.

Chayue, who has always been very rude to people, met Xiao Jin in the morning and even licked his face.

An idea came to her mind, she pulled Dugu Xiaojin aside.

"Xiao Jin, tell me, can you feel that there are locust eggs in these fields? Don't worry, whether you know it or not, I won't blame you. Look at these villagers, they have been devastated by locusts. If the pests cannot be controlled well, they will not be able to survive.”

Dugu Xiaojin recalled the yellow and emaciated appearance of the villagers, and the children who were seven or eight years old were not as tall as him because of malnutrition.

"Brother Xiaojin, can you really help catch bugs? Just help them."

Feng Xiaoli hugged Dugu Xiaojin's arm, shaking it back and forth.

"Let me try."

Under the expectant eyes of Feng Bailing and Feng Xiaoli, Dugu Xiaojin nodded.

"But even if we found insect eggs, we couldn't kill them. The fields in Qi Village are not small. We can't kill insects one by one. Besides, spring plowing is about to happen. If we miss the sowing season, this year will be wasted .”

The old village head was wrong.

"It can be directly irrigated with water. I have some medicine here, mixed in water, and within ten days, all the eggs can be removed. If you miss the sowing season, you will not grow food, but sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes. The few I brought today If the big bag is not enough, I will send someone to bring some when I go back."

Feng Bailing said with a smile.

She had observed the topography of Qi Village. There are many canals here, and it is very convenient to divert water to irrigate the farmland.

"Daughter, your idea is good, and it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that the village has suffered from drought since the locust plague. Several wells have run out of water, and we have to dig wells outside the village for drinking water."

The old village head wrinkled his face like a bitter melon.

"It shouldn't be. The difference between Chudu and here is only a few dozen miles. The rain is abundant. How could the well be dry?"

Feng Bailing wondered.

"Just overnight, it dried up inexplicably. I have gone to see it, and there is no water in the well."

The old village chief shook his head.

"When did the well start to dry up?"

Feng Bailing asked.

"It was just three years ago. Speaking of it, it was about the same time as the locust plague."

The old village chief sighed.

Feng Bailing, who has read the materials, is very clear that drought can cause locusts to grow and reproduce in large numbers and rapidly, all of this is so accidental, it is a coincidence, or there may be other reasons.

"Elder sister said before that people from the Grand Master's Mansion want to buy the village?"

Feng Bailing asked casually.

"There is such a thing, it is said that the geomantic omen of this place is good."

The village head doesn't know much about feng shui, he only knows that Qi Village has had a rough time just like the Princess Mansion in recent years.

"Ma'am, Brother Xiaojin has circled all the places where there are insects."

Feng Xiaoli ran over like a group of children.

Feng Bailing asked the old village head and the old and weak women and children in the village to work together to turn over the marked soil.

"I'll go and see the wells in the village, Xiao Jin, help dig the soil together, watch Xiao Li, don't let her get into trouble."

Feng Bailing said, walking towards several dry wells in the village.

Qi Village is not big, only seventy or eighty households.

There are five or six wells in the whole village. The water in these wells is used to meet the drinking water for the daily people and livestock in the village. There was originally a stream outside the village to irrigate the fields, but after the well dried up, the stream also disappeared. It stopped flowing.

The first well was next to the old village head's earthen house. Feng Bailing checked the mouth of the well, and the water in the well was indeed dry.

After thinking about it, she went to the second well again.

The second well was in the middle of the village, and it was also the largest well, but it was also dry now.

Two or three wells have been walked, but nothing has been found.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Feng Bailing was about to go back, remembering what the old village head said earlier.

"If the old well in the village ancestral hall hadn't dried up more than [-] years ago, the sweet potatoes irrigated with that water would be sweeter than honey."

Feng Bailing's sweet potatoes are delicious because of genetic domestication and high-tech products, but the old village chief's sweet potatoes are only irrigated with well water...

Feng Bailing paused and walked back, the village's ancestral hall was in front of her, and the well there was also the earliest well in the village.

Walking to the well, Feng Bailing lowered her head to look at the mouth of the well, it looked no different from the other wells.

But at this moment, Feng Bailing's seventh consciousness moved.

Her eyes lit up, and a faint stream of water vapor came up from the well.

From the eyes of others, this is a dry well.

But in Feng Bailing's view, the presence of water vapor means that the water has not dried up.

It was dark at the mouth of the well, Feng Bailing lit a torch and leaned down to take a closer look.

A person jumped out from behind, and the person pushed hard, Feng Bailing was shocked, she was about to be pushed into the well.
