Chapter 380 Fetching water from deep mountains

If there is no result after such a headache, he can't imagine what the scene will be like when collecting water in the village in the future.

You know, there are a lot of enemies in the village. These young people now may have forgotten how precious this water source is when there is a real shortage of water. If those who have enemies in the future are really on the road, they will fight against each other. If you turn over other people's water and retaliate, the village will definitely be in chaos.

If other villages are in chaos because of lack of food, then their village may be beaten to death because of lack of water. After all, water is life at that time. If you take someone else's life, they will not follow you. Work hard!

"Is what Qin He said wrong?" Chen Zongze said, looking at the people surrounding him.

The people he glanced at all lowered their heads. It was obvious that neither party wanted to offend. It would be wrong to say more, but it would be good not to say anything.

Their performance itself has already explained a lot of problems.

Seeing their reaction, Chen Zongze already knew it.

This time many uncles in their 40s came, and they could almost guess what was going to happen next. They had no objections to this at all. This unhealthy trend must be suppressed.

"It seems to be correct. In this case, Doctor Chen Liangshu, you and Chen Liangshu have to help Qinhe carry a bucket of water back today and tomorrow. The water in a bucket must be at least half full."

"Also, now here, in front of everyone, I apologize to Qin He. It is indeed your fault in this matter. If there is a conflict between the two of you, you will be angry with Qin He in your heart, and the two will fight fist to fist. I don't mind if you get a bruised nose and face, but you're not allowed to get wet."

"How important water is now!"

"Now you still have water at home, and there is still a little bit of turbid water in the reservoir. Some people have already floated. This time I brought you here to collect water. Put away those shameful little thoughts of yours. If you continue If the drought continues like this, the water here is our life-saving water. If anyone touches it, people will fight you desperately. Who can bear the consequences?"

After speaking, Chen Zongze looked at Dr. Chen Liang: "Do you accept this punishment or not?"

Many people looked over with burning eyes. Dr. Chen Liang almost broke his teeth. He was still young and loved saving face. Now that he had lost face, a surge of hatred suddenly emerged in his heart.

He not only hated Qin He for being troublesome and dared to resist, but also hated Chen Zongze, his uncle in the family, for not giving him face.

Chen Liangyi, Chen Liangyu, from the names of these two people, we can know that there is a close relationship between the two people, and they are members of the tribe who have not yet entered the fifth service.

"I admit it." Dr. Chen Liang said loudly, and the current situation could not help him deny it.

Chen Zongze nodded, just accept it. He was annoyed by those stubborn people who refused to give in. "Very good, go apologize to Qin Zhiqing, and bring the water to others tomorrow, and this matter will be over."

"You should also take this as a warning. Being young and energetic is not an excuse to make mistakes. You must also be responsible for being frizzy. Remember, never make fun of water. Don't make any more mistakes on the way. Go to It’s not easy here.”

This time I went to fetch water from a deep mountain pool to explore the situation. The reservoir is not dry yet, and the spring under the reservoir is still producing water. The water in it should still last for a few months. When the time is up, if it doesn’t rain again, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it anymore, and when the time comes, I will really have to go into the mountains to get water every day.

Seeing that the matter was over, everyone dispersed in twos and threes and quickly returned to where their buckets were. They had worked so hard to get here. If the water was spilled, it would definitely be distressing.The four Qin Jiang people also returned to their previous positions. They saw that the buckets were still standing in place and the water was no problem. They were immediately relieved.

For the rest of the journey, everyone walked in silence, with heavy breathing accompanying the entire journey. Sweat flowed down the cheeks, gathered on the chin, and finally dripped on the ground, splashing some dust, but within a few breaths , it was baked dry by the hot earth and disappeared without a trace.

Everyone was very tired and no one spoke. Even the children who were the most energetic when they first came here are now all wilted.

Those who were very favored at home still wanted adults to carry them back. The soles of their feet were so painful that they no longer wanted to walk, but without exception, they only received a beating in exchange.

They didn't want to go on this road, but they had to go. Who told them to cry for their father and mother so early in the morning?

Today's parents and elders rarely pamper their children, and they don't have the conditions to do so. There is actually no big difference in the treatment of those who are favored and those who are not favored.

The steps became heavier and heavier as they walked. Qin Xi and the four of them were a little better off. After all, someone changed their shoulders and helped pick a section of the road, but the others were in misery. They were so tired that some even wanted to give up. The water in the reservoir, Isn't it just dirty? The muddy smell is the main point!As long as you can drink it.

As for the wild ducks swimming in the water and the children who often play in the water in the reservoir, they can selectively ignore them.

After another two days of sunshine, almost all the springs in the reservoir will be exposed. By then, you can directly scoop the water from the springs, and it will be much cleaner. However, everyone is short of water. When the time comes, you can come to this spring to fetch water. There's a queue.

With so many people going to fetch water, maybe the water in the spring in the reservoir won't last as long as previously thought.

Nowadays, people in the village who don't go to fetch water just lie down at home to avoid being exhausted and starving quickly.

After all, what I eat every day now is something with clear soup and little water. There is very little food in it and it is digested quickly.

Early in the morning, someone took a basket and a sickle and went to dig wild vegetables and roots in a distant place. There was little food to eat, so naturally other things were needed to make up for it.

The water we brought home was carefully scooped out and poured into the water tank. It was too hot today, so there was a wooden board placed on top of the water tank. The water in it was used for drinking and cooking. , the water for washing dishes, bathing and washing clothes is picked from the reservoir.

"Phew, it's finally over. I hope it rains soon. That road is too difficult to walk. I don't want to go there to fetch water every day. It's too far and my feet hurt from walking."

Tang Ying sat on the small bench and took off her shoes. When she saw the blisters on the soles of her feet, she couldn't help but hissed: "There are blisters on the soles of my feet. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't be so curious."

If you don't follow, nothing will happen. If you follow, it will be a waste of time, energy and effort, and you will suffer a huge loss.

Although I dislike the fact that the water in the reservoir is stagnant and unclean, compared with walking on a mountain road for five or six hours, it is definitely a bit dirtier!It’s not that I can’t bear it.
