Chapter 188 Dark River
The man's surname is Niu, from a village called Niujia Village in Tongnan County, he is the village head of that team,
35 years old, medium height, dark face, stocky and honest, smiling at the villagers of Taohua Village at the moment.

"Mr. Wang, Miss Xiao, Mr. Wu.
After greeting Wang Yonggui, he waved to Xiao Ningxue and Wu Chongwen who were standing in the camp.

When we were separately looking for resettlement places, we also had exchanges, and it was clear to each other which village we came from.Xiao Ningxue and Wu Chongwen also raised their hands to greet them, and then turned their eyes to the buckets and clay pots on the ox cart.Do you know what's in the buckets and crockpots?
Water, crystal clear water!
So the villagers in Niujia Village found water? And water was brought to them!
This was beyond everyone's expectations. I didn't expect the people in this village to be so righteous, which is really impressive.However, they were able to escape the snowstorm and travel thousands of miles to get here, which would have been absolutely impossible without solidarity and mutual assistance.

Therefore, these people in Niujia Village are people who can rest assured to make friends with.

At this moment, Village Chief Niu and the men driving the carriages and carts spoke loudly.

"You haven't found water yet, have you?"
"We found it over there."

"Fortunately, with Miss Xiao's advice, we really dug water out of the gully."

"Anyway, everyone is not far away. In the future, you can go to our side to get water. Although there is not much water, it is enough for everyone to drink."

What they said moved the villagers of Taohua Village deeply.

Along the way, I saw a lot of selfish people, and it was the first time I met villagers who were willing to help so wholeheartedly.

Wang Yonggui was also very excited, his hair was graying because of the water, and they came to send charcoal in a timely manner.

Busily invited the men who brought the water into the camp and left them for lunch.

The fire is burning, the pot is set up, the pancakes are pancakes, and the steamed steamed buns are steamed. Although the food is scarce, they still try their best to entertain them.

The carriages and ox carts were filled with water, and the big guys were not polite, they came to carry water one after another, and filled the empty containers at home.

And Village Chief Niu's dark face is also filled with a knowing smile. The people in Niujia Village also know how to repay their kindness. If it weren't for the kindness of the villagers in Taohua Village, they would have already become slaves to the local aliens.

What's more, Miss Xiao taught them how to find water, dig a water cellar and other ways of life without reservation. Their gratitude is beyond words.

The first thing to do after finding water is to bring water to them.

People from the two villages were roasting by the fire. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the topic turned to finding water.

Village Chief Niu smiled and said: "There is no trick, just follow Miss Xiao's method and search for the lower ravines to see if there are any living shrubs."

"We searched around for two days, and we really found it. After digging, the water came out."

After hearing this, Wang Yonggui tapped his bong sadly, "How deep have you dug?"

"Two or three feet."

"Then you are lucky. We also found such a place, but we didn't dig out any water."

"Look slowly, anyway, the water on our side can provide everyone with food and drink, so you just go and pull it."

Xiao Ningxue squatted aside without any sense of presence, warming up by the fire, listening to their conversation.

The villagers of Niujia Village are so unreserved, Xiao Ningxue has a very good impression of them.Such a person who knows how to be grateful is worthy of deep friendship no matter what.

But what she thinks about the most is the problem of water source.

Why is there not only no water in Taohua Village, but also can't even pour some water into it? But there is water dug out in Niujia Village? What is the reason?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ningxue got up and said to Village Chief Niu: "Uncle Niu, where is your well dug? Can you show me there?"

"Of course." Village head Niu replied, and immediately appointed someone to lead Xiao Ningxue and Wu Chongwen to inspect it.

Wangshan ran a dead horse, looked close, and rode for more than two hours before arriving.

The well they dug is located in a low-lying gully on the east side, and the pond, two feet square, is filled with water.Clear and translucent, blue, like a blue gem inlaid on the yellow earth.

They just sent so much water to Taohua Village, and the tank is full of water again, and it seems that the water volume is quite large.

But this place is quite far away from the snow-capped mountains. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the water on the snow-capped mountains to seep here, and even if it seeps here, the amount of water cannot be so large.

So the water here is most likely flowing out of an underground river.

Xiao Ningxue climbed to the hillside by the well, and took a telescope to watch the west.

Where they dug the well the day before, red flags were planted on both sides, which were very conspicuous under the telescope.

A well can't store water, but a well has a large amount of water. What does this mean? Just thinking about it, Wu Chongwen spoke from the side.

"The hole we dug yesterday couldn't store water, the bottom should be empty."

"The wells here have water, and nine out of ten are because of the proximity to the underground river."

What Wu Chongwen said was exactly what Xiao Ningxue was thinking at the moment, she put down the binoculars to add. "The direction of this underground river should be from west to east."

"When we go back in a while, we will take a look along the way, mark the place where there are shrubs alive, and roughly mark the location of this underground river.'

"Of course, the most important thing is to dig. If you are lucky and the underground river is not that deep, maybe you can dig it out."

Wu Chongwen nodded in agreement, and the two didn't delay afterwards. After thanking the man who led the way in Niujia Village, the two returned to the village together.On the road, I also found three or four ravines with green plants, so I put flags on both sides to mark them.

After such a delay, he did not return to the village until dark.

The entrance of the village was full of torches, and when he saw Xiao Ningxue and the others, Xiao Shan anxiously greeted them with the help of Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao held Xiao Ningxue's hand, trembling with anxiety.

"You girl, why did you come back so late with Brother Wen? It made everyone very anxious." Xiao Shan was almost anxious, and he was already organizing people to go out to look for it.

Seeing Xiao Ningxue and the others coming back here, tears welled up in his eyes.

"It's good that I'm back, it's good that I'm back." He couldn't help murmuring, his heart ached from the anxiety.

Wang Yonggui held his pipe with a serious face: "Brother Wen, girl Xue, no matter how powerful you two are, you must pay attention to safety, how dangerous is this wilderness? Next time you have something to bring more people with you.

Dong's mother and daughter, Sai Dongshi and the others rushed to heat up meals, and then they all entered the camp together.

In the camp, several bonfires were lit, and everyone sat down around the fire.

Everyone knew that they were going to Niujia Village to inspect the wells, and all of them turned their curious eyes on them.

Without waiting for everyone to ask, Xiao Ningxue opened her mouth while drinking hot tea.

"Awen and I suspect that there is a dark river underground."

"This dark river is right under the water hole we dug yesterday."

"Now that we have drinking water, it will take a few days to dig out that dark river."

"If it succeeds, then why would we spend thousands of miles building canals in Xiping City to divert water? The water in the underground river can be used directly to irrigate the crops and cultivate the land."

After Xiao Ningxue finished speaking, everyone's eyes were burning.

Under this dry yellow land, is there really a river?
If this is the case, wouldn't it be just around the corner to turn the loess into an oasis and enjoy a rich life with the fragrance of melons and fruits?
"Then we will dig tomorrow and dig out this hidden river." Wang Yonggui waved his bong confidently.
