In the afternoon, Zhang Taiping and Wang Gui bought irrigation equipment in the process and came back, not only hundreds of meters of thick water pipes, but also rotary sprinklers.

Then the whole village mobilized, no matter what the old and the young could do, they helped. It took only one day to install the pipes leading to the lavender fields on the hills.

When launching the water pump in the pond, Zhang Taiping called out the rocks entrenched in the water hole, and then lowered the water pump to the edge of the spring, not daring to put it into the spring, for fear of being washed away or destroyed by the undercurrent.

Immediately after the rock climbed onto the shore, it attracted the attention of many tourists, who gathered around to watch it, and were surprised by the two characters on its back.

But after the rock came ashore and felt the strong sunlight, it began to turn around and retreat into the water. Although it is an amphibian, it can live in water and on land, but it prefers cool water to such arid land. .

Three movable rotary nozzles are installed on each hill. Not long after the power is turned on, you can see the sprayed water blooming on each hill like a lotus flower. The colorful haze is reflected under the sunlight, which is very is pretty.

Watching this project, and the participating villagers all cheered after seeing the colorful spray sprayed out like fireworks.

Then it was still busy. Water pipes and sprinklers were installed on the top of the mountain to solve the urgent need, but the whole village still needed to install various pipes and irrigation facilities.

It took several days to mobilize the whole village to install water pipes and irrigation facilities throughout the village.So far, the drought has become more and more serious. Many wells in the village have bottomed out, and many people come to Zhang Taiping to fetch water for food.There are even folks from nearby villages driving a car to fetch water every morning with buckets.

After the irrigation facilities in the whole village are installed, turn on the power, and then turn on the switches of each pipe card. After a while, the whole village is shrouded in water mist. The young lads and dolls simply ran wantonly under the sprayed water.

"Be careful of animals hurting people these few days. The weather is severe drought, and the water sources in the mountains are also reduced. The animals in the mountains can't find water to drink and run out." Wang Gui said. Several animals came out of the mountain."

Both of them belong to the kind of people who do not manage specific matters in the village but are influential. They are sitting opposite each other in the shade, drinking a small wine.

Dasha was also sitting beside him. He had a lot of alcohol, so he didn't care about the quality of the wine, as long as he could drink it.He drank a glass of wine and said in a low voice, "I have also seen many monkeys coming out of the mountains in the past few days."

Zhang Taiping nodded. He also said that he found it, but it was at night. Many small animals sneaked to the edge of the pond next to Peach Blossom Mountain to drink water at night. They were all driven away by Ah Huang a few days ago. Zhang Taiping stopped Ah Huang's behavior, and these small animals were able to drink water with peace of mind and then leave.

Wang Gui said: "It doesn't matter if relatively mild-tempered animals like monkeys and antelopes come out, and it will help attract guests to the village. I'm afraid to come out with big guys like blind people or South China tigers."

Zhang Taiping nodded, this is indeed a problem, thinking about how to deal with it.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and the old village head called.

After receiving the notification, I heard the anxious voice of the old village chief: "Marshal, a person in Tuping Village has had his head opened and is being sent to the old man. You should tell the old man to make preparations. Good treatment."

Zhang Taiping responded and quickly got up and went to the back room to speak to the old man.

After coming out, Wang Gui asked, "What happened?"

"Someone in Tuping Village has had his head opened, and they are being sent here." Zhang Taiping said.

It didn't take long after the words fell when they heard noisy voices outside, and a group of people came over carrying a stretcher.There were the old village chief and the village chief of Tuping Village, followed by a group of people, each with anxious or dignified faces.

A middle-aged man in his 30s was lying on the stretcher, his face was covered with blood, and he was already unconscious. A person next to him pressed the head of the man on the stretcher with a handkerchief, but blood still oozes from the handkerchief.On the other side was a woman and a pair of children. The woman and the girl were crying and crying, but the boy was pale but insisted on not crying. He just clenched his fists to express his inner tension.

After a group of people entered the yard, Zhang Taiping said: "Take the side door." It is more convenient to enter the back room through the side door.

When entering the backyard, the old village chief of Tuping village scolded: "What are you doing in? Waiting outside!" All those who followed from Tuping village stopped and waited outside, only the village chief was still there. The woman and her two children followed.

The old village chief didn't follow, Zhang Taiping asked, "How did this happen?"

"It's not because of the water problem." The old village chief sighed and said, "Our village is better and there are no major problems. Other villages are not like this. The water shortage is very serious. No, it is because two people fight for water. I got up, my eyes were red, and I slapped the head with a brick." After speaking, he sighed again, lit the dry tobacco and smoked it, and stopped talking.

Now as the drought continues, many water sources have dried up. Stuff like this happens every day, and more people are praying for rain.In the village, the old village head forbids worshiping gods and praying for rain, but in the village, it is just a little inconvenient to drink water, and nothing else is affected, so there is no phenomenon of worshiping gods and praying for rain.

After asking about the situation, Zhang Taiping also walked into the back room. The old man is undergoing emergency treatment.The patient was placed on the ground and had already taken off all his clothes. The old man lit an alcohol lamp beside him, and the slender and trembling silver needles were sterilized on it, and then inserted into the patient's body at an incomparable speed.

After the needle was inserted, the blood stopped. As long as the blood stopped, the next thing would be easy, and the people next to him breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man continued to take his pulse for treatment, and he worked hard for more than an hour before he bandaged the patient's wound.

He straightened up and said, "It's not a serious problem now, it's just that he lost too much blood and fell into a coma, and he will wake up after a while. However, there may be a slight concussion after being hit on the head. I will prescribe some medicine for you." Decoction once in the morning and evening. Due to excessive blood loss, give him more blood-enriching food during this time."

If this kind of urgent trauma is not treated in time, it can kill a person immediately, but if it is treated in time, it will not take as long as other diseases. As long as the dangerous period is over, there will be no serious problems. in the way.

"Old man, how much is the consultation fee?" asked the village head of Tuping Village. Although he was not young, he was still a junior in front of the old man, and asked respectfully.

The old man waved his hand and said nothing, indicating that they could carry the person away.The old man rarely charged fees for treating the villagers.

The village head of Tuping Village didn't dare to ask about the consultation fee anymore, and only wanted to discuss it with Zhang Taiping after going out.The woman kept thanking the old man, but the old man just nodded.

It was the little boy who had never cried when he saw his father was rescued. Before leaving, he knelt down and said, "Thank you, grandpa, for saving my father." Then he kowtowed three times.

After leaving the back room, the old village chief asked the village chief of Tuping Village, "How's it going?"

"It's nothing serious, just go back and rest." The village head of Tuping village looked at the environment in Zhang Taiping's yard, stood on the side and looked down at the environment of the whole village, and asked in surprise: "Look at you guys." The trees and crops in the village don't seem to be affected by the drought?"

The old village chief pointed to the rotary sprinklers installed everywhere and said, "The village has spent a lot of money to install irrigation facilities, and it has been watered once."

"Have all the crops and trees in the whole village been watered?" the head of Tuping Village was astonished.

"That's right." The old village head said with some pride, "Even the nearby hills are connected with pipes."

"Great!" The head of Tuping Village gave a thumbs up and said.

The old village head said with a smile: "It's just a long-term plan."

The head of Tuping Village all said enviously, "Your village has made money now, and you have made a lot of money under your leadership in the past two years, right?"

The old village head smiled and said: "This is the result of the joint efforts of the villagers. I, an old guy, dare not be greedy for credit."

The village head of Tuping Village smiled noncommittally, and then said righteously: "You have also seen the situation today. Our village is already short of water. Can you ask the villagers to come to your place to get some water?"

The old village chief patted his chest and said, "It's no problem, just come."

"Then I will thank you here first." The village chief of Tuping village said and bowed to the old village chief.

Chapter 730 Second Prayer for Rain

The drought has continued for more than a month, and many rivers with insufficient water flow have dried up.People in the city don't farm land and drink tap water. They just feel that prices are rising rapidly. Apart from complaints and anger in their hearts, there may be no other profound feelings.However, rural people feel deeply about the drought. This year's harvest is destined to be completely empty. Fortunately, rural people have the habit of stockpiling food for their families. If there is no harvest for a year, they will not return to the point of starvation. The problem has caused great inconvenience to life.

Many trees on the mountain have died of drought, but the small village of Wangjiagou is still full of vitality. People's lives are not affected too much. The whole village is still covered with greenery, and the beautiful environment has not changed.Every day, there is an endless stream of water trucks from nearby villages to fetch water here.

The people who came and went looked at the envious eyes in the village, and the villagers gradually realized the benefits of installing irrigation facilities.

Zhang Taiping wanted to move very much, this day he took out his motorcycle and planned to take a look around the neighborhood.

Yaya has already had her summer vacation, and it is too hot outside these days, so she basically stays at home watching TV and playing games, or learns to swim in the hot springs taught by Ye Ling.Seeing that Dad was about to go out at this moment, he ran up and asked, "Dad, where are you going?"

Zhang Taiping said: "Father is going to go out for a walk, do you want Yaya to come together?"

The little girl nodded quickly: "Yes, yes!"

Put the little girl on the back seat, and when he was about to start the motorcycle, Wukong ran out from the house, screaming and jumping here, obviously wanting to go with him.Zhang Taiping smiled and started the motorcycle, spraying black smoke on Wukong's face.

"Squeak!" Wukong swiped and pulled a few times in the air, and when the black smoke cleared, he opened his eyes and the motorcycle had already driven out. With a roar, he immediately turned his head and went into the room to take out Ye Ling's mountain bike, jumped on it Teng then chased after Zhang Taiping.

Even if Zhang Taiping rode the motorcycle very slowly in the village, it was impossible for the bicycle to catch up. Wukong was destined to follow behind and eat dirt all the way.

When she was about to leave the village, Yaya shouted happily: "Father, drive faster, Wukong is catching up!"

"Okay! Hold Dad tight, smash the door and throw Wukong away!" After speaking, he accelerated his speed and rushed out.

When Wukong arrived at the entrance of the village with his bicycle, the shadow of the motorcycle had already disappeared, leaving only the dust that had lingered, so he had to stop and turn the car and ride back to the village.

Zhang Taiping did not ride too far, and stopped after a short distance around the Huanshan Road.

There are farmlands on both sides of Huanshan Road, but the corn sown after the wheat has been harvested has not germinated.The ground was so sun-baked that it condensed into plates, and some places were even cracked by the sun.

Looking around, a desolate scene.If you see this scene in the evening when the sun is setting, it will inevitably make people feel like the end of the world.

Zhang Taiping took out a cigarette, and the little girl immediately said, "Dad, let me light a cigarette for you." Children love to do this kind of thing, light a cigarette for their father.

"Okay." Zhang Taiping knelt down and handed the lighter to the little girl.

The little girl held the lighter in one hand and ignited the flame, and then covered the cigarette with her small white jade-like hand, and carefully handed it over to the cigarette brought by her father.When it was lit, I happily let go of the lighter and returned it to my father.

Zhang Taiping stood up to smoke a cigarette, looking at this piece of land whining under the sun with a blurred complexion, he couldn't even see a single person.It's hard to imagine that such a green world like Wangjiagou still exists in such a big environment. One is hell and the other is heaven.

The little girl walked carefully from the side of the road to the ground, found a stick and poked a pile of soil and said, "Father, there is a toad here, it's dead!"

"En." Zhang Taiping responded lightly.Lack of water not only means that the crops cannot grow, but even these small animals hidden under the shallow soil cannot survive.

The child's mind is sensitive, and he felt that Zhang Taiping's mood is not high. When he returned to his side, he also became serious and said, "Father, is it possible that crops cannot grow in this field?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "The weather is too dry to grow crops."

"Then why can we still grow crops in our village?" The little girl raised her head and looked at her father's face and asked.

"Because there is a source of water in our village, which can be used for irrigation." Zhang Taiping said, gently stroking the little girl's head.

"Then they will have nothing to eat if they don't grow crops, will they starve to death?" the little girl asked, her face full of worry.

Zhang Taiping looked at his daughter's serious face, picked her up and put her on the back seat of the motorcycle, shook his head and said, "I won't starve to death for a while, the country does not allow such things to happen." At the same time, I added a sentence in my heart, if the drought continues, I don't know the result. "Let's go."

On the way back, Zhang Taiping met a group of people. Dozens of people were carrying a pig, which had been cooked, and brought a lot of tribute.In the center of the barren and arid cultivated land, a simple altar was set up, all the tributes were placed on it, and three tall incense sticks that were two feet long and thick as a little finger were lit.

Zhang Taiping parked his motorcycle on the side of the road and watched with his legs propped up.

"Father, what are they doing?" Yaya asked curiously.

"I'm begging for rain." Zhang Taiping replied simply.

When the father and daughter were talking, an altar for worshiping the heavens had already been set up over there, and the enshrined pig was placed in the center.This is modern society, there is no custom of using humans to sacrifice to heaven, and the law does not allow it, so the one who sacrifices to heaven is a pig, if it is placed in the feudal ancient times and the theory of gods and ghosts is prevalent, it is rare to see this kind of pig in hundreds of years It is not impossible to use children to sacrifice to heaven in the great drought.

After setting up the altar and offerings, everyone knelt on the ground and bowed to the altar, only an old woman in a strange costume was left waving a wooden sword in front of the altar while muttering something, Unexpectedly, it is the so-called spell.

After about ten minutes, the sorceress finally stopped dancing, and her body swayed like a pendulum.After stopping, he said: "God has accepted your offerings and heard your requests. In a few days, the rain will be sent down to alleviate the severe drought."

The people kneeling on the ground hurriedly kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, shouting "Thank God" in unison.

This kind of situation is bound to happen, and it is definitely not the case.When people face insurmountable natural disasters, they always unconsciously pin their hopes on ghosts and gods.Many riots or uprisings in ancient times all came from this situation. The most typical one was the peasant uprising at the end of Han Dynasty. It was called the Yellow Turban Rebellion in history. It was based on ghosts and gods, and the slogan was "the sky is dead , Huang Tian shall stand." All the participants had yellow turbans tied on their heads.

People in modern society have received decades of scientific education, most of them will naturally not rely on ghosts and gods once they encounter natural disasters like in ancient times, but such people still exist, just like this part of people now.

Outsiders can tell that the witch is a liar at a glance, but others have nothing to do with it. Once someone comes out and accuses the witch of being a liar, I believe that the first person to stand up and refute angrily is definitely not the witch but the group who were deceived people.

This is what Zhou Yu is willing to fight Huang Gai's family and endure.

"Father, do you think they can ask for rain?" Yaya asked innocently.

Zhang Taiping started the motorcycle and replied, "Maybe."

Yaya immediately said happily: "Then I also ask God to hurry up and make it rain soon. After the rain, crops can be planted, and people will have food to eat and water to drink."

Zhang Taiping smiled silently and didn't say anything, the motorcycle rushed out.

On the way, Yaya asked, "Father, why is there no one in our village praying for rain?"

Zhang Taiping remembered that at the beginning there were indeed people begging for rain, and the momentum was still rising, but in the end the old village chief suppressed him, expressly prohibiting such feudal activities.In addition, there is a water source in the village, and people just have a little inconvenience to drink water. They haven't reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted. Naturally, no one confronted the old village chief, so no one organized any activities to worship the sky to pray for rain.As for whether there is anyone in my family who worships God and prays for rain, I don't know.

"Because our village does not need to ask for rain, our village has water sources." Zhang Taiping said, "Besides, this is a feudal activity, and the police do not allow it."

The little girl immediately said nervously: "Then I also prayed for rain just now, will the police come to arrest me?"

Zhang Taiping laughed loudly: "No, as long as you pray for rain silently in your heart, others will not know. Only God can know, and it will rain."
