rural little doctor girl

Chapter 128 It is difficult to go home

The so-called capable man can bring back some food even if he hunts in the mountains.

Although people didn't eat a lot of meat in the past, after all, meat was extremely expensive, so who would come to eat it if they had nothing to do?
They have money and can't buy food.

Now they only eat wild vegetables, and there are fewer and fewer wild vegetables, and occasionally some meat is a must.

Most of the unmarried girls fell in love with the firewood cutter.

There are many girls who like Chi Hang, after all, his ability is obvious to all.

When he came back from hunting for the first time, Chi Hang carried a pig alone.

That pig, even if a family eats meat every day, it will take more than half a month to eat it!

The little girl opened the door secretly, seeing that there were not many people around, then walked towards Chi Hang timidly.

Liu Xue looks very white and has never been out of the house much before.

Some time ago, her mother told her that there was not much food at home.

Liu Xue also asked naively, "Why didn't the people from the government come to rescue them?"

If her mother hadn't explained it to her, Liu Xue might not understand it until now.

The bottom has become a river, even if those people want to come, how they come, even if they use a boat, they will save the rich people first, and when it is their turn, I don’t know when.

"Brother Chi Hang." Liu Xue walked to Chi Hang's side and called in a low voice, not even daring to lift her head.

Chi Hang was chopping firewood, and when he heard that voice, he thought it was Gu Yu's return, but he didn't think the voice sounded like it. When he raised his eyes, he saw a little girl walking in front of him.

"What's the matter?" Chi Hang said, and walked aside without a trace, feeling that he was a little far away from Liu Xue, so he continued to chop firewood.

"Brother Chi Hang, are you tired?" Liu Xue whispered, handed the handkerchief in front of Chi Hang, raised her watery eyes, and stared at Chi Hang intently.

Chi Hang frowned slightly, and changed the ground with the wood.

He didn't know why so many little girls came to talk to him recently.

"Not tired!"

After answering, Chi Hang went directly to the other side, thinking it's better not to stand with those people, it would be bad if they made him cry.

Liu Xue held the handkerchief awkwardly in her hand, looked at Chi Hang's appearance, pressed her lips tightly, and gradually blushed on her face.

Slowly withdrawing her hand, Liu Xue frowned.

When she was in the village before, she was a flower in the village. After all, those men couldn't take their eyes off her when they saw her.

"Brother Chi Hang." Liu Xue plucked up the courage to walk in front of Chi Hang, and whispered, "Your forehead is sweating, how about me."

Chi Hang raised his sleeves and wiped off all the sweat on his forehead.

Holding the handkerchief tightly with her slender fingers, Liu Xue stood in front of Chi Hang, pursing her lips/lips lightly, showing a pale streak, "Brother Chi Hang hates me?"

"Ah?" Chi Hang didn't realize what was going on now, so he quickly waved his hands, "No, I'm not used to being touched by others."

Liu Xue looked up at Chi Hang resentfully, and lowered her head in aggrieved manner.

She had seen it a long time ago, every time Lin Guyu helped Brother Chi Hang wipe his sweat like this, Brother Chi Hang was very happy.

When Lin Guyu came back from picking wild vegetables with Mrs. Song, she saw Liu Xue standing in front of Chi Hang.

"Xue'er is here," Lin Guyu called out with a smile, "Do you want wild vegetables, I picked a lot today!"

Liu Xue glanced at Lin Guyu with aggrieved and tearful eyes, muttered/lips, shook her head, and said in a voice that couldn't be lowered, "Brother Chi Hang, I'm going back first."

With that said, Liu Xue turned and left.

That figure was thin and helpless, as if she was being bullied by others.

Lin Guyu looked up at Chi Hang, and asked wonderingly, "What did you tell her?"

Chi Hang also felt puzzled, shook his head, and said innocently, "I don't know what's wrong with her."

Now that Lin Guyu was back, Chi Hang put the ax aside and helped Lin Guyu walk in with the basket.

After lunch, Chi Hang said that he wanted to go to see how the village was doing, and Lin Guyu also wanted to go with Chi Hang. The two of them agreed, so they gave the bean paste to Mrs. Zhao to have a look, and walked directly over there. go.

After leaving the village, Chi Hang watched Lin Guyu's movement of raising his hand to dry himself, and thought for a while, "I'll carry you down!"

Lin Guyu looked at Chi Hang's forehead covered in sweat, stood on tiptoes, and helped him wipe it off carefully.

A gust of wind blows and the leaves rustle.

The broken hair in front of Lin Guyu's forehead floated to Chi Hang's face, and he put it behind his ears with a smile, "I can walk by myself, you are not too tired!"

"Not tired!"

As Chi Hang said, he squatted in front of Lin Guyu.

Lin Guyu looked left and right, smiled and lay down on his stomach.

Hands naturally wrapped around Chi Hang's neck, close to his ear, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired!" Chi Hang responded readily.

For some reason, Chi Hang never felt a little tired when he was with her.

The road down the mountain was very fast, and when the two of them were about to reach the village, they saw that it was full of water, and all they could see were the roofs of each house.

Lin Guyu got off Chi Hang's body, turned his head to look at Chi Hang, "There is so much water, if we wait for it to dry naturally, we don't know when it will be."

"Yes." Looking at so much water, Chi Hang couldn't help worrying.

Chi Hang glanced around and thought for a while, "It is estimated that the river is all flooded now, there is no way to lure these away."

Drain the water away?

Lin Guyu turned his head to look at Chi Hang, and said a little puzzled, "Then do you know where is lower, we can lead the water there."

Hearing what Lin Guyu said, Chi Hang smiled, "Yes."

Pointing to the northeast corner, Chi Hang said calmly, "There is a very low trough over there, it would be great if we could divert the water there."

So what if it's a low valley, are they going to dig out a river channel in that small valley and lead the water there?

This is unrealistic. If it is introduced, I don't know how long it will take.

"How?" Lin Guyu asked in confusion.

"I think, if we can have one," Chi Hang wondered for a moment, and then said, "It's like the kang we live in, isn't there a passage below, if we have a passage, we can lead the water through. "

Hearing what Chi Hang said, Lin Guyu frowned slightly, and said with some puzzlement, "Dig a hole?"

"No need." Chi Hang said, pointing to the other side and said, "I think we can build a wooden cylinder on top, pour all the water into it, and flow directly into the trough, which is much better than digging a tunnel. .”

Having said that, Chi Hang frowned helplessly, "It's just that we have someone to pour the water every day, and we don't know when it will be finished."

"Why don't you just dig that valley lower, then the water will pass through easily." Lin Guyu frowned, feeling a little headache.

If there is a modern machine, it will be fine, and the water will be pumped directly, so there is no such trouble.

"Waterwheel," Lin Guyu looked at Chi Hang excitedly, and said affirmatively, "Although the waterwheel is slow, we can do it at the same time."

Chi Hang was originally a smart person, but sometimes, he has been deceiving himself and others, such as Zhou's problem.

"You mean, let's build a water wheel and sprinkle water directly over it?" Chi Hang thought for a while, and then said, "Then some people dug a tunnel underneath."

"En." Lin Guyu frowned slightly, and said a little worriedly, "I think it's better to divide them into left and right, with the water truck on the left and the digging on the right."

Even if these two methods are feasible, they also require a lot of manpower and material resources.

What's more, the waterwheel is easy to say, but it is not so simple to do.

The waterwheel is generally very high, and then there is an axle supporting many wooden spokes, which are evenly scattered around, and there are scrapers and water buckets on the top of the spokes.

Lin Guyu only remembered the general operation method, but didn't know how to make it.

If so much land was dug, it would be easier and more convenient to rebuild the house directly on the mountain.

So the idea of ​​the two of them is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Lin Guyu sighed, took Chi Hang's arm, and walked towards the mountain weakly.

The original home is now lost.

Not to mention that their homes are gone, and their fields are gone too.

The field is the lifeblood of the farmers, only with the fields can the farmers support themselves.

"The solution the two of us are thinking of is really troublesome." Lin Guyu raised his eyes to look at Chi Hang, and sighed, "If it's so troublesome, it's better to live directly on the mountain, the worst is to build a big yard .”

"That's right." Chi Hang nodded in agreement, "There is no other way now, go back and talk to the village chief."

The village head is a little older and knows more than them.

Lin Guyu and Chi Hang walked up, and just as they reached the door, they heard Mrs. Zhao laughing loudly.

Chi Hang and Lin Guyu looked at each other wonderingly, and when Lin Guyu went to Mrs. Zhao's house, they saw a woman with dirty hair and dirty face, who was wolfing down food.

When Mrs. Zhao saw Lin Guyu coming back, she smiled and said, "Gu Yu, you can be considered to be back. What a coincidence, a man went hunting in the northwest, and saw a man fainted by the side of the road. I brought it back, I didn't expect it to be your eldest sister!"

Lin Guyu looked at the person who was eating frantically, and frowned slightly. He couldn't believe that this person was Lin Lixia.

In Lin Guyu's impression, Lin Lixia has always been very polite, like a lady like everyone else.

It was only then that Mrs. Zhao noticed that Chi Hang was also standing on the side, and said a little embarrassedly, "Don't take offense, your eldest sister hasn't eaten for several days, that's why she's so hungry."

Chi Hang just nodded slightly, leaned into Lin Guyu's ear and said something, and then respectfully said to Zhao Shi, "Let's go back first", and then left.

"Eldest sister?" Lin Guyu felt a little uncomfortable seeing Lin Lixia like this.

Lin Lixia stopped eating, looked at Lin Guyu pitifully, tears fell uncontrollably.
