Chapter 648 Out of Water
"You're welcome. With water, we'll be better off. But I have to remind you that water in the village will attract the attention of the surrounding people, so you have to make arrangements."

"Don't worry. I've thought about this. We are all poor people. It's impossible to deny them water. People from other villages come to fetch water. Each family has a large bucket of water every day. Is there any more?"

"You can also ask them to pool their money and ask us to dig wells. However, we cannot guarantee that every well will produce water."

The village chief was ecstatic: "Oh my! If every village's well could produce water, we could grow crops in this area."

“How many places were affected?”

"Almost half of the imperial court was affected. The southernmost part was relatively safe, but our area was the worst hit."

"Well, let's dig through the water first. I have something to say."

When the village chief heard this, he said seriously, "Please give your orders."

"You have well water, but you can put it in buckets and sell it in town or on the official road. It's better to sell it in the county town. You can use the money to buy food. Otherwise, you will still not be able to survive if you only have water but no food."

"That's a good idea. Then bring more people with you, or you'll be robbed on the way."

Shitou was carrying soil while talking to the village chief. The way they talked made it seem as if water was destined to come out.

The village chief stared at the basket that was coming up and saw the soil becoming increasingly moist. He was excited. He was sure that if he continued, water would definitely come out.

And the men who were transporting the soil were also looking at the soil with longing eyes.

Some even reached out and grabbed a handful, taking a deep sniff of the moisture in the soil.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Qin Yue took a breath and connected to the deep water source. Water rushed up along the pipe, making gurgling sounds. At this time, Qin Yue looked up and shouted towards the wellhead.

"My husband, please go down."

Shi Tou was stunned for a moment, then he grinned and shouted at the village chief while filling the bucket.

"Water is coming out, my wife got water out"

The village chief stood up suddenly, walked to the well, and looked down. It was dark below, but he still stared at the bucket below.

After a while, the bucket was pulled, and Shitou quickly turned the wheel. The bucket soon appeared from the wellhead. The old village chief looked at the clear water in the bucket and cried excitedly.

"Good, good, that's great, we finally have water. You and your wife are a great blessing to our village. Thank you, thank you."

As he said this, he knelt down in front of Shitou. Shitou lifted the bucket aside and quickly helped him up.

The other villagers also dropped their work and rushed over. They looked at the water in the bucket and, like the village chief, all knelt down in front of the stone.

Even the women and children who were enjoying the fun at the doorsteps of their homes all rushed over here.

A large group of Wu Yayas knelt in front of Shi Tou, but Shi Tou had no time to pay attention to them. He was pulling the rope outwards.

Because his wife was still down there, he had to pull her up first. They should be grateful to their wife.

When Qin Yue came up with dirt all over his face, the villagers unexpectedly stood up and knelt down to Qin Yue again.

"Benefactor, please accept our three greetings."

Qin Yue wiped the mud off her face and showed her silver teeth: "Get up quickly, get up quickly, you are lucky, the terrain here is low, so we can get water. I am also lucky, get up quickly, get up quickly."

After the villagers kowtowed, they quickly stood up. They gathered around the bucket, looked at the water in the bucket, and all shed tears.

Qin Yue said: "In an hour, everyone can come and fetch water with buckets. I have cleaned the bottom of the well, so you can just fetch water directly."

"Thank you, benefactor. You have worked hard."

"Well, let's clean this place up first. I want to go back and rest with my husband."

"The house is ready. If you need anything, we can help you."

"it is good!"

Shitou held his wife's hand and walked towards their new home, while the village chief was talking to the villagers around the well.

Qin Yue and the other person entered the new house and looked around. Although it was still in tatters, it was much cleaner now.

Even in the middle of winter, there were few insects or ants. Apart from the thatch on the roof, the rest was made of adobe.

The broken window was basically repaired, but the paper on it was still torn.

When I entered the house, it was quite clean, with only a few simple broken furniture. This house was really shabby. If the wind was stronger, the roof would be blown away, and the corners would be floating.

Shitou chuckled and said, "Wife, I'll go and burn the pit first." "Okay, I'll go chop wood."

"No, they have already chopped some, you take a rest, you have worked hard today."

After saying that, he pushed her to the edge of the kang, then turned and left.

Qin Yue smiled, touched the torn mat on the kang, then took out the ordinary bedding from the space, first spread a mattress as thick as a room, then folded the quilt and placed it behind the kang.

She searched around the house and outside, but couldn't find even a charcoal basin. So she found a worn-out ceramic bottle, which seemed to be a small jar, probably used for pickling pickles.

She carried the small jar into the house, took out some charcoal from the space, and lit it. Then she found a very ordinary pot from the space, placed it on the charcoal, added water into it, and planned to make a pot of tea.

During this time, he wiped the kang table on the ground dry and cleaned it, and then placed it on the kang.

After all this tinkering, the house began to feel a bit like home, especially after the temperature rose, it felt more presentable.

Seeing the water boiling, she brewed the tea, took out two coarse porcelain bowls, and shouted outside through the window.

"My husband, are you okay?"

"Okay, here it comes."

As soon as Shitou entered the house, she quickly poured him some tea: "Come, have a drink and take a break. You've suffered a lot while we were out this time."

"Hehe, this is not suffering at all, it's much better than before, at least I have my wife here, so I won't starve."

"After today, this village will become bustling, and more people will come to us to dig wells. How much water should we charge for a well?"

"It depends on their intentions. They are so poor, how can they have any money?"

"It's just a symbolic fee."

"Don't accept it. If you do, they will think that we should take money to do things. If you don't accept it, they will be grateful to you."

Qin Yue lowered her eyelids: "Let them come and beg, as long as they are sincere, I will go and dig a well for them."

"Okay, I'll beg you."

At this moment, it was completely dark, and the villagers outside were all holding buckets and queuing up to fetch water.

This village is finally no longer dead silent.

Just as Shitou said he wanted to cook, there was a noise in the yard. The village chief and his men entered the yard. They did not dare to rush into the house directly, but shouted softly.

"Is your benefactor here?"

Shitou came out of the house and asked, "Village Chief, you are here, what's the matter?"

"Where is your wife?"

"I'm too tired. I'm lying down."

"Too."

He waved to the people behind him, and each family put a small cloth bag in his arms, and Shitou couldn't help but pick it up.

After the villagers finished releasing their fireworks, the village chief said embarrassedly:

"This is a token of our appreciation. Although this amount is too little to equal the kindness you two have shown us, this is all we can do. However, in the future, as long as you ask, we will definitely help if we can."

"Okay, thank you everyone."

Shi Tou didn't say anything polite. He knew that they wouldn't want it if he returned it, so he had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing that the grain was harvested, the village chief finally smiled.

"You've been tired all day, and we've just settled down in our new home. Have a good rest, as we still have a lot of work to do in the future."

"Yes, thank you everyone. When we have our house ready, we will invite you all to come and visit us."

"well"

The village chief then took his men away, sent Shi Tou to the gate of the courtyard, watched them go away, and was about to close the door when two men came over carrying two buckets of water and put the buckets at the door.

He smiled foolishly at Shitou: "Here, you guys are tired after a day's work, you will definitely need water to cook at night. It's well water, really sweet, the food will definitely taste good."
