Villager of Daming

Chapter 517 Natural Harmony Without Suspicion (Fourth Change)
The tent was set up, the stove was set up, and the people from Guanglu Temple brought people to make noodles. We ate water noodles tonight, and there was water, and we ate water noodles even in cold weather.

In order to save time, everyone used large wooden barrels and basins to collect water, scooped it up to the side and filled it into the water bag.

A large water bladder can hold dozens of catties of water, but if it is too heavy, it will increase the burden on the horse.

The horses and camels are drinking water vigorously. The camels have not had water for several days. They can persist, but it does not mean that they are willing to be thirsty.

33 wild donkeys enjoyed it not far away. They didn't complain about the lack of grass today.

Standing next to the water pump, Zhu Xi put his hands in the sleeves of his military overcoat: "If you don't go around the desert, you will never know how precious water is. Li Chang, when we are leaving, do we take it with us?"

"Take it." The chief nodded: "Stay here, others won't be able to use it when they come, the well head is made of iron, it will oxidize, and the cowhide cushion inside will also age.

What's more, what is being used at the moment is the pipe for drilling the well, which is brought to Helin, and the well must continue to be drilled to provide clean water for the people.

The rivers in Helin are not only used by people, animals drink them together, and the common people drink the water from the river directly, and they may get sick.

In addition, where are the drilling tools to facilitate our prospecting and finding coal and iron ores so that we can develop the place. "

"The oasis is gone if it is gone. There is still water. How did the sandstorm blow?"

Zhu Xi was not in a good mood, thinking that others lacked supply points on the road, and the animals lacked a home with water.

"As long as there is groundwater, the desert can be cured. This is the only way to go. With a small population, who wants to come here to plant trees?"

The head of the village didn't think too much, his task was to take good care of the prince and King Qin.

On the other side, the young general and two guides watched others cook.

Dried vegetables are soaked in small pieces or small pieces, including dried eggplant, dried cucumber, dried radish, dried green onion, dried coriander, dried radish strips, dried cowpea...

Vegetables with large leaves, such as lettuce and cabbage, should be dried and crushed, put into sacks and continue to be pressed.

Take it out and soak it to give people supplements of vitamins and chlorophyll.

Today, I ate water noodles and made sauce. Dried vegetables are soaked and fried with meat sauce. Don’t be too salty, so that people can eat more vegetables.

"Xiaqiu Village has a lot of treasures. When it comes to digging a well, a well is dug out in a short time, and no one needs to carry water."

The guide watched the people meet there and talked with another guide and the young general.

The person who met with him raised his head: "Xiaqiu Village is the team appointed by His Majesty to follow. I am afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Qin will be in danger. This time, I will bring my family property with me to the village!"

"Yes, yes! If you don't encounter special circumstances, how can you know the strength of Xiaqiu Village? I observed their guns, and they seem to be different from the ones we hold."

The young general echoed and was puzzled. He saw the guns on the backs of Xiaqiu villagers. Was it a flintlock?The length is different.

"How do we understand? Let's just cook. Xiaqiu Village must have a way to ensure the safety of the two Highnesses."

The person who met him shook his head, he didn't inquire at all, for fear of being watched.

"According to the current speed, we can reach Helin before the twelfth lunar month. We celebrate the New Year there, and the winter is very cold."

The guide covered his ears with his hands. His ears were cold. Even though it was afternoon and the temperature was low.

"Xiaqiu Village will make proper arrangements to keep the house warm. When we were in Yingtian Mansion, there was floor heating in Guanglu Temple, and there were many fire walls in the imperial city.

It's not cold if you don't go out of the house, and it's not as cold as going out... going out is not as good as it is now, the water can freeze at night, if you don't have cotton clothes and quilts, you will really freeze to death. "

The dough maker was finally touched. He was afraid of the cold and was not used to the current climate.

On the other side, Zhu Xi also said about the temperature: "When you go to the place, you have to repair the fire path and build the greenhouse. It won't be used this year, but others will be able to use it in the future."

"It can be used this year. It was very cold in the first spring, so I couldn't go. There are some mung bean sprouts growing in the car in the village, and they are long enough. I will fry bacon for the two highnesses at night." The chief helped move the water pump, and the water pump vibrated , sinking into the sand.

A person in the village slapped his forehead, turned and ran away.

Zhu Biao said: "No bacon, the beancurd sticks I made before, fried with bean curd sticks, eat something light. Huh! The wild donkeys are here."

When he was talking, he saw a wild donkey slowly moving over, as if looking at the place where the water pump came out.

"They didn't drink enough. They had a lot of water before. It was because the horses controlled the amount of water they drank every day without feeding the camels.

It was opened to drink, but there was not enough water. The wild donkeys only had the original ones, 33 of them divided into ten and a half pots.

They want to eat and drink enough so that they can support their search for the next shelter. "

The head of the village judged the mind of the wild donkey, and the wild donkey would not think that the water was pumped by someone and could not drink it.

They have no right of ownership in their hearts, as long as it is water, it is a gift of nature.

As Hanhan said, wild donkeys will use their hooves to dig the soil during drought, dig a big hole, and water will seep out for them to drink.

When they drink by themselves, other small animals can also come and drink together, and sometimes they will chase them away.

It is said that wild donkeys can dig a hole two to five feet deep, but unfortunately the place where the well is now digging is too deep, and they cannot dig it down.

The wild donkey that was responsible for the forward exploration got closer and closer. Someone took the water and carried it to the side to fill the water bag. It was startled and hid some distance back.

Standing there observing, and getting closer.

From time to time, someone got up to catch the water, and someone put buckets and basins there to wait for the water to be collected, and the wild donkey avoided and came back again and again.

Until it judged that there was no danger, and couldn't stand the temptation of water, it simply stood beside the water outlet, lowered its head to drink water, and ignored the people standing up beside it.

"Put a few pots by the side and let them drink. Don't delay our work." The chief ordered.

At this time, the person who had just left came back, took the wooden board, lifted the water pump and put it below, so that it would not sink.

Five large basins were placed aside, and the water pipes were flushed against the basins. Someone pushed the head of the donkey that was still drinking water from the mouth of the pipes.

The wild donkey was pushed, took a look, saw that there was water in the basin, and moved a few steps to drink in the basin.

Here you can continue to fill other people's buckets and basins with water without delaying each other.

The donkey was happy to drink and howled a few times. The other donkeys ran over, spread out, and began to drink around the basin.

They not only drank the water from the five basins, but also went to drink from the human basins, which they probably took for granted.

So the person who received the water gave them the basin again, and the pipe of the water pump helped them add water from time to time.

They didn't leave the wooden basin until all the donkeys were full, and ran to the side about thirty steps away to stand and watch.

The team washes the basin, and then fills the water bag with water.

"I guess the wild donkeys are wondering where the water is coming from, it's not the same place they usually drink from."

Zhu Xi looked at the group of wild donkeys who were still looking around, and said with a smile.

"Maybe they are thinking about eating grass. They were given grass before, and they can still eat after drinking a lot of water."

The head of the village also laughed, but he didn't feed the wild donkey.
