Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 535: Return to Hong Kong Island

"Brother, don't joke with me. I have been studying this for more than a month. How do you know there is water here?"

Xizi followed and became anxious.

The characteristic of the plateau is that the slope is very steep and few people can climb up.

Yang Xiaole also stopped when he reached a certain position.

Then he walked around in a circle.

Walked back again.

Stop from time to time.

He stopped at one place and said, "It's hard to explain this to you, but if you draw water from that position, you will definitely get water."

There is no need to drill to a depth of dozens of meters as before.

Although the groundwater could no longer be seen, he predicted that its location would not exceed 15 meters.

This is a very normal water level in the south, but in northern Shaanxi, it is really very shallow.

Xizi looked at the place he was pointing at, which was the gap between two plateaus.

The plateau on the right is where their village is.

"Is this true? The terrain here is a little higher than ours! Can there be water?"

Xizi was a little bit unconvinced.

Digging a well is a technical job and it is a slow process. It cannot be completed in a day or two.

"If you believe me, just fight near here. If you don't believe me, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Yang Xiaole shrugged and said something to him.

This made Xizi even more conflicted.

"Really?"

I asked still worriedly.

Yang Xiaole put away his expression this time and nodded: "Really, just do as I say, just do as I say, dig on this slope, it won't be more than about 20 meters, and you will find water."

This also adds the height of the slope.

Of course, the location is not at the top of the plateau, otherwise it would have to be at least twenty meters higher.

Because the height of the plateau is about twenty meters.

And he couldn't guarantee it yet.

After all, he couldn't see behind him.

There is no problem in digging here, unless by some coincidence, we are unlucky enough to find that there is a previously buried mountain underground.

Xizi looked at him, although he didn't know how his second brother could say such words.

But since they were young together, he had seen the magic of his second brother.

I looked at the distance from my village.

Not far actually.

It is less than two kilometers away and can be seen at a glance.

If this well can really produce water at a depth of 20 meters, it would not be impossible to slowly dig through the two plateaus and move the cave dwellings in the village over there.

He looked up at the sky and said, "Let's go. It's going to be dark soon. It's not safe here at night."

Yang Xiaole also looked around and nodded.

Follow the other party back along the original route.

When we returned to the cave, it was already dusk.

The two of them entered the cave, and Song Yuchun was already lying on the kang.

"I was wondering when you would come back!"

Seeing the two people come in, he said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xizi went to get some water.

He said, "We are going to Dongyankou. I am going to dig a well there."

After finishing, he said to Yang Xiaole: "Brother, wash your face and feet. Remember not to pour out the water! We will take turns washing."

Song Yuchun was not too surprised.

"Have you decided? Is it reliable?"

Xizi nodded and said, "It's settled. We'll start work in a few days and get it done before the spring ploughing. Otherwise, it will delay the spring ploughing."

In fact, the reason why he believed what Yang Xiaole said was because of him.

Another reason is that the place he had explored before was less than one kilometer away from where Yang Xiaole mentioned.

So there is still great hope.

Yang Xiaole knew that Xizi had put in a lot of effort. Although there was some distance between what he said and what he said, the general direction was correct.

I took my own towel and washed my face.

Xizi and Song Yuchun used the water he had used to wash their faces, and then the three of them took turns washing their feet.

The washing water was poured into the bucket beside.

Reserve for later use.

When we were done, it was already dark.

After blowing out the kerosene lamp, several people lay down on the kang.

"Xizi, no homework today!"

Song Yuchun was teasing there.

Xizi smiled and said, "My second brother is here, what else should I be busy with?"

Then they started talking about recent events. Although Xizi and the others had letters from home, they could not have received a complete oral account.
Yang Xiaole did not mention anything about his grandfather Yang Mancang.

Any normal person would not tell this story.

Since Xizi doesn’t know, then he doesn’t have to know.

The three of them chatted and boasted there until midnight, then they slowly fell asleep.

……

The next morning, at daybreak, the three woke up from their sleep.

Yang Xiaole was happy to leave.

I came here to see Xizi. Since he is fine and there is no trouble, there is naturally no need to stay here for long.

After all, I didn’t know the way when I got here, and wasted too much time.

He also has to go to Hong Kong Island.

As for the place where the two barefoot doctors were, he was not planning to go there for the time being. When the time comes, he would just give a brief account of the situation based on what future generations would describe.

Thousands of kilometers away, who can prove anything?

"You're leaving on this very day!"

Xizi watched him packing his things and muttered to himself.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "I just came to see you. By the way, I won't go to see your girlfriend. You can do whatever you want. No one will care about you anyway. If you go back to BJ in the future, you can bring her home if you want."

Xizi felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole took out two bottles from the things he brought with him and said, "You know how to use this stuff. Drink it when you feel uncomfortable. Don't drink too much. This stuff is not only useful for humans, but also for animals."

I’m worried that this guy will expand his sheep-raising business after the New Year.

It would be a waste of effort if the animals get sick and die.

Xizi took the things and nodded.

He didn't know what this thing was exactly.

But I know that with this thing, no one in my family has ever been sick. Every time someone in my family goes on a long trip, they must bring this thing with them. And this time when he came here to jump the queue, many people got sick, but he was fine.

Moreover, the educated youth who drank this thing would recover quickly.

"Okay, got it. Thank you, brother."

Yang Xiaole patted his head, wanting to tell him something, but before he could finish, he said, "Okay, do whatever you want. If you need anything, send me an urgent telegram. Did you hear me?"

He felt that he should not interfere too much.

This is a precious experience for children of this age.

There are ups and downs, as long as people are safe, that's enough.

Xizi said with a smile: "I know, otherwise I wouldn't have written that letter to you!"

Then he laughed and said, “How are you going back?”

"Don't worry about it. I'll go to the commune. Some people from the commune will go to the city. I'll find a way myself."

Xizi thought he had been there before and didn't think much about it.

"Okay, I'll take you there!"

Yang Xiaole nodded and smiled at Song Yuchun, "Yuchun, I'm leaving now! Come to my house and play when you come back to Sijiucheng!"

"Oh, okay, that's for sure!"

The other party agreed with a smile.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole went out.

At this time, everyone next door had already gotten up.

Yang Xiaole went over to say hello to the other family and walked down the mountain.

Come to the foot of the mountain, or the foot of the plateau.

Yang Xiaole thought about it and took out a thousand yuan from his pocket.

“Here’s a thousand dollars!”

When Xizi saw the money, he blinked, but didn't take it. Instead, he looked at him curiously.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "I'll show you this money. I also gave him a thousand yuan. I'm not showing it to you, but to tell you not to go astray for money. If you have any difficulties, send me a telegram. You have to believe that your second brother has the ability. Remember, I'm talking about difficulties."

Xizi rolled his eyes when he heard this. Fortunately, he didn't go to get it just now, otherwise he would be embarrassed.

But I also understood what Yang Xiaole meant.

He nodded: "Okay, I get it. If there is really a hardship that cannot be solved, I will send you a telegram."

"Hey, that's right!"

Under Xizi's speechless gaze, he put the money away.

"Okay, go back. I wasn't kidding you about the place I told you about. If you want to gain a foothold in the village, this well water is very important. Remember to dig it."

Seeing his second brother speaking so seriously, Xizi put away his smile and agreed.

"Okay, don't worry!"

He knew that his second brother would not harm him, nor would he speak in such a strange way.

Yang Xiaole nodded, put his things on his back, gave him a pat, turned around and walked away.

As he walked, he waved his hand: "Go back! You don't have to see me off."

Xizi stood there and watched until the other person disappeared around the corner, then he went back.

He was thinking there on the way back.

It seems that the previous idea was wrong.

You can't spend your time going out to collect firewood every day, you have to do something useful.

Then a team meeting was held.

But Xizi didn’t tell Yang Xiaole about what he did.

……

Yang Xiaole walked while holding the map, and found a place to quietly take out BJ's jeep.

Driving towards the city.

There is no snow now and there are no swamps here.

The jeep drove very fast here. Although it could not reach the speed of 70, 80 or even 100 kilometers per hour as in later generations, a speed of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour was still acceptable.

This is the benefit of independent suspension.

Not too bumpy.

If it was an SUV like that of later generations, my liver would be shaken to pieces.

The journey was over 200 kilometers. It took two days to get here, and only about four hours to reach the city on the way back.

When I arrived in the city, I was not in a hurry to go anywhere else.

I first had a meal of mutton soup with steamed buns in the city, and then slowly went to the airport.

The reason why I left in such a hurry.

One reason is that Xizi is fine, and another reason is that there is a flight to Wuhan this afternoon.

There are very few flight flights during this period, and a delay could result in a week's flight.

Get on the plane quietly.

We arrived in Wuhan at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Half an hour later in Wuhan, an international flight from BJ to Yangon will stop here, and will also pass through Guangshi before finally arriving in Yangon.

Opened in 57, it operates once a week.

Now when Yang Xiaole travels, he has to check the flight schedule, otherwise taking the train is too slow.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the plane landed in Guangzhou and Yang Xiaole got off the plane secretly.

When you come here, it’s not so convenient to take a flight to Hong Kong Island.

Not in these two days.

You can only take the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway to Hong Kong Island.

It took nearly 160 hours to travel more than 4 kilometers.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Yang Xiaole got off the train station.

Once he got off the station, he didn't have to be so careful, after all, he had an ID card from Hong Kong Island.

You don't even have to drive the car.

I called a taxi near the station and went directly to He Tianwen's villa area.

……

"Grandpa! Show me your tricks!"

In the villa, a little boy about three years old was pestering an old man with slurred words and acting coquettishly.

Mr. Suo was sitting on the sofa and shook his head helplessly when he heard the voice.

He said with a straight face: "What tricks? Do you think I am a performer on the flyover? I am doing kung fu."

"No, I just want to watch the show."

The little guy kept pulling at his clothes.

"Fanfan, don't make trouble with grandpa."

Su Ling was not far away, seeing this scene, and had a stern face.

The frightened little guy dared not speak.

The old man waved his hands nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's okay! What do kids know? Hey, grandpa is playing a trick on you!"

After saying that, he stood up with a smile.

He found a stick and said with a smile, "Come on, go out, grandpa will show you a trick."

Seeing this, the little guy happily followed him out.

As soon as the door opened, I saw a figure walking towards me.

The old man's eyesight is much better now than before.

He shouted, "Where did this thief come from?"

As he spoke, he jumped down from the stairs and swept out with a stick.

"Hey, old man, you can't be so dishonest! And you even have a weapon with you."

Yang Xiaole said with a smile.

He grabbed the stick.

The old man pulled hard a few times, but it didn't move at all.

Then he let go of the stick, took a quick step forward, and punched out when he got closer.

"Old man, if you hit me again I will fight back!"

Mr. Suo is not as strong as him, and his health was not that good before due to his age.

Now I drink more well water and feel much healthier.

Plus the old man’s many years of experience.

You really have to use real kung fu, otherwise it would be bad if you get hurt.

But the old man ignored him, his punch missed, and he just came over with a mountain-leaning attack, but Yang Xiaole dodged it with his maneuvers.

"Wow! Old man, you can!"

Watching the old man do a roundhouse kick, Yang Xiaole laughed.

The man half-crouched, exerted force on his lower body, relied on the old man, and then threw the other person out.

The old man turned sideways and landed smoothly.

After hearing the news, Su Ling saw this scene and shook her head helplessly.

Seeing that the other party had stopped, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Grandpa, you are getting stronger and stronger! Go to the park more often, there are too many old ladies there."

"Pfft!"

Su Ling couldn't help laughing there.

The old man yelled, "You bastard! You tricked me into coming here, and now you're just running away for two or three years."

Yang Xiaole chuckled: "The more capable you are, the more work you should do!"

Then he looked at Su Ling: "Auntie! How are you doing recently?"

Su Ling pulled the little guy and nodded: "It's okay, it's okay, Fanfan, call... call brother."

Hua Youfan looked at the stranger in front of him curiously, but still called out obediently.

"elder brother."

"Oh, you're so good, you can even walk now!"

Yang Xiaole smiled.

He smiled at Mr. Suo and said, "Don't be angry, old man. I will smash those things some other day to avoid exhausting you."

"you dare!"

The old man glared at him.

Then they walked towards the house together.

"Where are Uncle and Tiantian?"

Seeing that there was only one nanny in the villa, I asked.

Su Ling smiled and said, "Your uncle is out. He will be back soon. I don't know about Tiantian. Since he started his internship last year, he has never known when he would be back."

Yang Xiaole nodded.

Hua Yourong went to college here, but it was only a three-year program.

You can do internship in the third year.

Judging from the time, he should have started interning in the company with Huang Qiujing last summer!

It's just that we haven't been in touch, so I don't know the specific situation.
