I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 110 It Turned Out to Be Blocking the Entrance!

Drill a well in two hours?

Isn't this a fantasy?
The middle-aged Ge Yi was deeply skeptical, but not only him, even the young man in shabby clothes didn't believe it, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "Father, can a well be dug in two hours? How is this possible!"

"Well, it's a good thing to have doubts." Ge Yi middle-aged nodded and said: "This is also the reason why I brought you out this time! As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books! Just blindly drill in the books, After all, it is only on paper!
If you want to know the truth of something, you can only know it by seeing it with your own eyes. "

The young man in the shawl nodded, expressing that he was educated: "Since that's the case, let's go and have a look!"

"Yeah. Let's go and see, if it's true or not, you'll know at a glance."

As a result, several people got on the mule cart again, full of doubts, and rushed to Beisizhuang, where Jinghu North Road belonged, in front of the endless stream of mule carts pulling water.

As a result, the further south you go, the greener the seedlings will be.

Especially after stepping over the boundary marker and coming to Jinghu North Road, it seems that the word drought is just a cover.

A series of bamboo tube bridges are erected on the field, and gurgling water flows out of the bamboo tubes.

In the fields, there were many figures, all busy fetching water to irrigate the fields.

Seeing this, the middle-aged Ge Yi jumped off the mule cart and walked along the bamboo tube bridge, followed by the young man in shabby clothes and the old servant in linen.

A few people walked in the fields, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and finally came to the source.

It was not a well, but a strange thing standing on the ground, with a long pole on top, which was pressed back and forth non-stop by several strong men in turns.

As the long pole is pressed back and forth, a steady stream of clear water is pumped out from the ground and flows along the bamboo tube bridge to the distant fields.

The three stood aside, watching curiously for a long time. After all, the middle-aged Ge Yi couldn't bear it any longer. He took a step forward, bowed his hands and saluted, "My little brother, I'm being polite here! Dare I ask, what's going on here?" well?"

"Of course it's a well!" A strong man lining up next to him nodded proudly.

Recently, all first-timers, without exception, have asked this sentence.

Gein, the wells that people have seen before are not like this at all. They all have large wells with a radius of one meter or even two meters.

As it is now, it is only more than one foot, and it is covered by the water press, so you can't see it at all.

I don't know, I thought it was some kind of witchcraft.

The three of them looked like foreigners.

The strong man smiled and explained, "The wellhead is just under the water press, and a long bamboo tube extends into the well below."

The middle-aged Ge Yi nodded knowingly, and asked: "I just met the villagers of Hujiazhuang. According to them, this kind of well can be dug in two hours?"

"Isn't it just two hours!" The strong man nodded without hesitation, his face full of arrogance.

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed around: "Look at so many wells, if we rely on the old soil method, how can we dig so many wells?

Speaking of which, the previous government didn't do anything about personnel, so now it's a good thing to do!
The two villages on Jingxian Road in the north now come to fetch water from our village! "

He was talking vigorously when a man next to him slapped him fiercely and shouted, "Shut up!"

"Hey!" The brawny man laughed and said nothing.He just looked at the shocked jaw drop of the stranger, and was really happy in his heart, so he wanted to show off.

The middle-aged Ge Yi didn't ask any more questions when he saw this, and thanked him again, and then walked straight forward.As far as the eye can see, there are more than a dozen such wells scattered everywhere.

They came out of Kaifeng Mansion, crossed Jingbei Road, and then passed Jingxixi Road, but they had never seen such a well.

He reckoned that this should be a self-rescue measure for the Jingbei Road appeasement envoy to deal with the drought.

And go further, verify it and you will know.

Thinking of this, he asked someone about the road ahead, and said that if he traveled quickly, he could reach Yuejiagou before dark.

Ever since, several people replenished water and food, and with full of expectations and doubts, drove the mule cart and set off again.

Yuejiagou, as the name suggests, is adjacent to two river ditches, to be precise, it is sandwiched between two river ditches, one south and one north.

Standing by the river ditch in the north, Ge Yi's middle-aged man became even more puzzled, because there was still water in the ditch in front of him!
If you don’t know, you must say, isn’t this nonsense, how can there be water if there is no water in the ditch?
Gein, he started from the southern area of ​​Jingxi South Road. Along the way, almost all the small rivers have dried up.

And in this small ditch in front of him, there is actually still water... Although the water level is very shallow, only knee deep, it is indeed still flowing.

Somewhat bizarre.

Not only him, but even the young man next to him was deeply puzzled and curious: "Father, why don't we go ahead and have a look?"

"Well, very good." The middle-aged Ge Yi nodded gratifiedly: "It's very good if you can have a questioning spirit and want to explore. Let's go and look ahead."

A few people walked west along the river bank, the sun had already slanted to the west, and the setting sun was like fire, reflecting in the river water, dyeing red clouds.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, I saw the answer.It turned out that there was a shallow canal dug by hand, and water was pouring into this ditch.

The ditch is heading west, and the section of the river that is not filled with shallow channels is also dry.

So, the few people walked south along the shallow ditch, and came to a small river full of water.

The small river in front of me is not spacious, the widest point is only more than 50 meters, but the water flow is very full.

There is a constant flow of boats on the river.

This scene is very bizarre.

Along the way, they have seen rivers as big as this, but they have all dried up.This is the first one with water.

The middle-aged Ge Yi was full of doubts, and walked towards an old man who was fishing by the river bank, and bowed his hands very politely: "Old man, I am polite here. How is your harvest today?"

The old fisherman grinned and pointed to the wooden barrel at hand: "Here! There are two or three of them, but it's okay."

After finishing speaking, he looked Ge Yi middle-aged up and down: "Your accent doesn't sound like a local, does it?"

"Haha!" The middle-aged Ge Yi smiled and nodded: "You are very knowledgeable. I came from Xiangzhou City, and I happened to pass by here when I was going to visit friends in Jiangling Mansion.

But when I came this way, all the ditches and lakes and ponds I saw were all dried up.

But for some reason, the river in front of him was full of water.

Can the old man tell you one or two? "

"Haha...!" Hearing this, the old fisherman immediately grinned, loudly and heartily.

Then, stretching his finger to the southwest, he proudly said: "Twenty miles ahead is Zhangshui, and this river flows into Zhangshui. Ten months ago, the government recruited labor and blocked the entrance to Zhangshui.

Therefore, the river seems to be flowing, but in fact, it is stagnant.

Only in and out! "

It turned out to be blocking the entrance to Zhangkou?

Hearing this, several people were all stunned.They thought about it a lot, but they didn't expect that it was the answer!
