The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 875 Underground River Ancient Ruins

Bai Meixi very much agrees with this idea. Planting Populus euphratica forest is better than making any marks. Populus euphratica forest can fix the yellow sand and reduce the dust in the entire town in the future. However, it is very troublesome to actually implement it.

"What's the use of this? Plant a poplar tree every 500 meters. Where's the money? Do you know how much it costs?"

The young man's idea was quickly rejected by the old people in the town. Life here is poor and it is difficult to maintain food and clothing. How can there be money to buy so many poplar trees.

The young man immediately stopped talking. Most of the people here make a living by growing potatoes and breeding camels. Occasionally they help nearby people pull goods and exchange some money for daily necessities.

It’s not easy to buy new clothes all year round. For something as luxurious as buying a tree, I probably won’t be able to save enough money in my next life.

"Let the mayor think of a solution. Besides, this matter is not our town's business. If this road can be opened, the surrounding villages and towns will benefit. Everyone should do this together."

These young people have always wanted to change the current situation of the town and help make the place rich, but no matter what ideas they put forward, the elders in the village objected to them because of lack of money.

The young people in the town couldn't refute this. They once resold some things outside and made some small money, but the money was not enough to change the current situation of the entire town.

"How much does it cost to buy a Populus euphratica tree here?" Bai Meixi really wants to do this. If no one here is willing to do it, she can fill the desert road with Populus euphratica forest bit by bit.

"Populus euphratica trees are not valuable. A small sapling only costs more than one yuan. But if you plant it from here to the Gobi Prison, planting one tree every 500 meters will probably cost tens of thousands of yuan."

The income of local people is not high. Tens of thousands of yuan is already an astronomical figure. Even if several towns gather the power of this, it will be difficult to achieve this.

Bai Meixi secretly remembered this matter. The money in her hand was enough to pave this road, but she couldn't take out the money at once. She had to make a business that seemed very reasonable and turn this road into a business. The road is slowly paved.

Bai Meixi set her sights on those wild camels. There were many people around Atu town who needed camels to transport goods, but camels reproduced very slowly. Wild camels were stronger than domesticated camels, so they should be able to sell one for a good price. price.

Just this small business is not enough for her, she must find a business that can make more money.

Bai Meixi planned to find a place to stay in the small town of Atu and asked around if anyone had a house for rent.

Most of the houses here are one- and two-story adobe houses, and each family has many children. Even if there is an empty room, they have to live under the same roof with the owner, which is extremely inconvenient for Bai Meixi.

"Sister, the kind of single empty house you mentioned can only be found in the desert. It is a temporary settlement built by everyone. It is too inconvenient for you to live there alone with your child. You might as well stay with everyone. It’s good to have someone to take care of you if something happens.”

People in the town are very concerned about Bai Meixi and her daughter, and have persuaded her several times to stay in the town. If she has to go out for something, there will be someone to help her take care of the child.

"No, my child is not in good health and needs to rest. He cannot stay in crowded places for too long."

Baimeixi just likes a place that is uninhabited and not too far from the town of Attu. The temporary buildings in the desert are just right. "In that case, let me take you there. There is an empty room about two kilometers away from here."

A young man in the town was very enthusiastic about being a guide for Bai Meixi. He said that his name was A Li and he was studying archeology in Puhai. He came back this time during the school holidays and would also do an archaeological project here in the future. Research as your graduation thesis.

"Sister Bai, that house was left by the people who came here for exploration two years ago. It is quite spacious and there are some furniture inside. If you need anything else, just come to the town to buy it. The people here are very good, especially It’s for people from out of town, and everyone is willing to help.”

Ali introduced enthusiastically. He rode a camel and kept chatting with Bai Meixi. The two-story adobe house soon arrived. This temporary building was a bit dilapidated, and there was a lot of sand accumulated inside. It was almost No more than a person's ankles.

"I haven't been here for two years, and I didn't expect it to be in such a dilapidated state."

Ali was a little embarrassed when he saw the situation in the house. Before, there were some cloths covering the windows to block the wind. Now those cloths have long been blown away, leaving only an empty rectangle for the whole house to see. It's especially desolate up there.

"It doesn't matter, it's already very good here." Bai Meixi is very satisfied with this environment, especially the second-floor attic. If the door is set up in that place, she will have enough time to get out of the space even if someone comes to see her. .

"Sister, I will bring you some water in a moment." Ali found two water bladders from the house. Both of these water bladders were large. They were both filled with enough water for Bai Meixi and her child. Four days.

"Ali, I never asked you where the water in the town comes from. Is it tap water?"

Bai Meixi suddenly remembered that there was always water in the town of Atu, and judging from the usage, they did not need to save water, and there was still enough water to irrigate the ground and grow flowers.

"There is no running water in a place like ours. It depends on the two wells in the town. Everyone who needs water has to go to that place."

Ali casually said that there have been these two wells in the town since he was a child. The water in them seems to be inexhaustible, enough for the whole town to use, and it has been like this until now.

"Do you know how long those two wells have been there? Are there any other villages or towns with wells?"

This news makes Baimeixi very excited. The presence of wells means that there is groundwater in the desert, and the scope is likely to extend beyond this small town.

"There are also them in other towns. Some are wells and some are natural puddles. I don't know when they were formed. It may be that these water sources existed first and then later villages and towns came into being."

Ali only learned about his hometown after studying archeology. He said that there was a very ancient city here hundreds of years ago. It was later buried by the desert and turned into this desolate appearance. They are like this This archaeological project aims to restore that period of history.

"Ali, have you ever thought that the groundwater you drink now probably comes from that ancient city. Since they can build a city here, they must be inseparable from water sources. Even if the city is covered by desert, the underground river will Still exist."

Bai Meixi expressed her thoughts. This idea made Ali feel very novel. He immediately went back and sent a telegram to his teacher, providing new research directions.
