Jagged Warlord

61. Drought resistance 2

In fact, the village head Yang and this woman have no grievances or enmities, but as the head of the township, he has to focus on the entire Qiantingzi township.So, the head of Yangxiang said to the Taoist again with a smile on his face: "Sun Daochang, I beg you to intercede with Lord Long again."

Taoist Sun narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "There is no way, the poor Taoist wants to do a special ceremony for the Dragon Lord, the Dragon Lord has face, calmed down, maybe he can do some thin clouds for you, spread some Bo Yu. But~" The Taoist closed his eyes, and said leisurely: "This time, the skill and practice of the poor Dao will be greatly damaged, and maybe it will also reduce the fortune and life."

The mayor of Yang hurriedly beckoned, and a follower immediately came over with a small bag.Village Chief Yang took the pocket and weighed it in his hand, and the silver coins inside made a rattling sound.

"Daozhang Sun~ Thank you for your hard work." The head of Yangxiang said with a pleading tone.

The Taoist priest took the bag, with a reluctant expression on his face, and said: "Hey, I'm afraid this ceremony will cost me ten years of life, and I'll make up for it no matter what. But because of your piety, I'll help you again. "

"Thank you, Daoist, thank you, Daoist~!" The village chief Yang thanked in a hurry, while arranging people to fetch the incense table and incense candles for the ceremony.

As a result, about 10 minutes later, the incense case and candles were not brought, but a team of people from the county government came instead.The leader was Liu Xian, the county magistrate, a few people who looked like students, and more than two dozen soldiers in black with guns on their backs.

Although the mayor of Yang didn't enter the county for a long time, he also knew that the guards of Yudong had changed, and these soldiers should be the new SS soldiers.

As soon as Liu Xian saw the head of Yang, he scolded him at the beginning, "Yang Sanba, the guardian envoy has issued repeated orders to prohibit Wu Zhu, do you have donkey hairs in your ears? If you can do this, you can do it. If you can't, I will replace him immediately." .”

The head of Yangxiang looked helpless, and said: "County head, it doesn't rain today, and we can't get water out of the well. Isn't there really no way?"

As soon as she heard that the county magistrate was coming, the woman burst into tears again. After fighting, she threw herself down by the well and snatched the two children in her hands.

Liu Xian's face darkened, and he asked, "What's the matter with these two dolls?"

"Uh~" Yangxiang was speechless

The woman said loudly: "They are going to throw my two dolls into the well, saying they are sacrifices to Lord Dragon."

"Absurd, ignorant, cold-blooded."

Before County Magistrate Liu Xian could open his mouth, a student from the Road and Mine School spoke.Liu Xian turned his head and saw that the man was Zhang Ji from the mining department of the Road and Mining School. According to other students, he was the best in the mining department.

Liu Xian took the opportunity and said, "That's right, it's not the Qing Dynasty now, we should advocate science and oppose superstition. These are the students from the Road and Mine School, helping everyone dig wells and find water."

The villagers of Qiantingzi Township sized up these students. The youngest was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the oldest was only in his early twenties.As the saying goes, if you have no hair on your lips, you can't do things firmly. If Daoist Sun, who has practiced for more than ten years, can't do it, how can these young people do it?

I saw Zhang Ji stepping forward a few steps, walked up to the head of Yang, and asked: "Master, as a head of a village, you don't want to dig a well to save yourself during a severe drought, but engage in such feudal and superstitious witchcraft. Don’t you feel ashamed for sacrificing the lives of two innocent children?”

The head of the sheep village was so angry that he rushed straight to Tianlinggai from the soles of his feet, how dare this doll talk to him like that?But it is obvious that they are backed by the county magistrate and the army.

The head of Yangxiang suppressed his anger and said: "I, Yangsanbai, have no skills, and I have thought of all the ways I can think of. If you can find water in the younger generation, it doesn't matter that I, Yangsanbai, kowtow to you on behalf of the thousands of elders in Qiantingzi Township." ?”

Zhang Ji waved his hands and said, "There is no need to kowtow. What I, Zhang Ji, learned is for the benefit of the country and the people." After finishing speaking, Zhang looked at the surrounding terrain, and then at the dry well.Asked: "Who chose the location of this well?"

County Magistrate Liu Xian looked at the Taoist priest and asked, "Master Taoist, is what he said reasonable?"

The Taoist priest looked erratically, and said, "He's talking about Western learning, which is not the same as the art of geomantic omen learned by Pindao."

"Cut~!" Zhang Ji and a group of students from the Road and Mining Academy gave the Taoist a disdainful look, and Zhang Ji said to Liu Xian: "County magistrate, disaster relief is like firefighting, let's start now?"

Seeing the expression on the Taoist priest's face, Liu Xian felt that he was guilty, so he nodded and said, "Yang Sanba, find some people who are familiar with the terrain to act as guides and porters for these students."

As a result, villagers who were familiar with the terrain led the way, and a group of villagers started to work in Qiantingzi Township carrying the equipment brought by Zhang Ji and the others from school.

Zhang Ji first went down to the dry well to inspect the rock and sand layers on the well wall. The situation in the well was almost the same as he had estimated in advance. This place is indeed an anticlinal structure. His purpose of going down was to understand the structure of the rock formation. Thickness, and possible orientation.

After Masui, Zhang Ji and some classmates used instruments to measure the surrounding terrain, and then wrote and drew marks on the map.Hearing that a well-drilling team had come to the county seat, nearby villagers gathered to watch the excitement.

Afterwards, Zhang Ji went down to check several disused wells one after another, and then said to Liu Xian confidently: "Mayor Liu, 300 meters ahead, there must be water."

Liu Xian nodded and shouted: "Yang Sanba, why don't you ask someone to dig it?"

The mayor of Yang was a little hesitant, and muttered in his mouth: "In case it is abolished~"

County Magistrate Liu raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you afraid of? There is a special fund in the guarding envoy, so you can't use it from Qiantingzi Township."

The mayor of Yang yelled at some peasants carrying hoes and shovels, "Idiot, why are you still standing there?"

The burly man who was called to be stupefied looked at the head of Yang Township, then at the head of County Liu, and finally at Zhang Ji. He stepped forward, bowed, and asked, "Masters, Shengming, I'm so confused. I don't know how far this 300 meters is?"
