Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 373 The Drought Solution (5)
"Xiao Hua, is this the piece? Do you want me to dig it down?" You Zixuan held a hatchet and made a gesture to dig it up.

"Not yet, don't worry. This place is just a location for judgment. Well, let's use this place as the main line. Let's look upwards along this way, and we will definitely find it." Xiaohua knows that if this place is wet, it means that there is water flowing down. Maybe it's here that there is no water.

"Okay, then let's walk up this path and have a look." Lu Qiumo took the first branch and pulled the leaves apart to see how wet the land was.

The more you go up, the more moist you feel.Suddenly You Zixuan called out: "Xiaohua, I heard the sound of water flowing, did you hear it?"

When everyone listened, it was true, there was the sound of water flowing, and they were all overjoyed immediately. "Quick, let's find the source of water, follow this to find the source." Xiaohua immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this mountain still has a source of water.

That is to say, how could there be no water in such a big mountain.Although the foot of the mountain has withered and yellowed a lot, the mountain is still lush and green. How can there be water shortage.

The people raised the stream-like water source they had found, and kept going up. After walking for about half an hour, they found the source.It turned out to be under a big tree and flowed out of a crack in a big rock.

Xiaohua didn't expect that there would be big trees in this place. The trees I saw before were generally not tall, but the ones in this area, it seems, will not be small by then.

"Okay, this is the place. Excavate. The deeper you dig, the less you dig, so you can store water. Mr. Jiang, you can send a few yamen servants to live here and guard them. Starting tomorrow, the water will be transported down. Let's I need to find a few more places. Although I am a little tired this way, at least I can drink water."

Master Jiang is very happy now, and finally he doesn't have to worry about running out of water, which is really great.Mouth opened, unable to utter a word in excitement.

"I understand how you feel, don't get excited now, let's find a few more places, I think there must be several places like this mountain, not just this one." After Xiaohua was overjoyed, she remained calm.

Seeing the yamen servants digging there with hoes, Xiaohua gave them a few words, and when she was about to leave with her people, the little boy said: "So my sister is looking for a stone that can flow water, so what?" I know a few places, my sister will come with me."

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. Since this kid knows that a stone can flow, how can he make himself so thirsty?

After walking for less than half an hour, they found another source of water in another place.Xiaohua now knew what she was thinking: "Master Jiang, look, this is usually the way to find water. This child is familiar with the way, and you can follow him to find water. According to this, find more and dig deeper. , Store the water so that you don’t have to worry about running out of water. Just ask the villagers to carry the water during the day.”

After solving the drinking water problem in Qu'an, Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief.But she knew that this was only temporary, and it was up to God to save face.

Mrs. Jiang nodded: "Thank you, Miss Hua, we people in Qu'an will remember your great kindness in our hearts."

Xiaohua waved her hand: "It's nothing, let's just leave it at that. It's getting late, so let's go down the mountain quickly. Sir, let's leave a few people to stay here. The rest will follow the children to find a new water source tomorrow, and we'll go back first."

Lu Qiumo and Lu Taishou didn't expect that they really found the water source.Just now I went back to the place where the two yamen servants left to dig the water. Now the digging is still full, and there is a lot of water in it. Now, although it is muddy at the moment, it looks like I have seen hope.

Xiaohua didn't know that these men looked at her differently at this moment.Taishou Lu and Lord Jiang looked at her with gratitude.Lu Qiumo was incredible, You Zixuan was full of pride, and Du Yuchen looked at her complicatedly.

night.

"Xiao Hua, how do you know that there is water in that place?" You Zixuan and Xiao Hua looked up at the stars in the sky in the courtyard of the Qu'an County Government.

"Hehe, it's nothing. It's just that when I was a child, my family was struggling. I searched for things on the mountain every day. In order not to starve to death, I wanted to find all kinds of things that could be sold and exchanged for money. After a long time, I knew what kind of place on the mountain might have water. .”

You Zixuan knew that Xiaohua's family was poor when she was a child, but when she said it calmly, she felt so distressed.

"Forget it, those things are over, and what are you talking about?" Xiao Hua looked at the stars in the sky and knew that tomorrow would be another sunny day.I sighed in my heart.

"It's fine, why are you sighing?" Du Yuchen came out and asked.

"It's nothing. I just think that tomorrow will be another sunny day. If it doesn't rain, the problem will not be solved after all. What is solved now is only the current problem."

When Lu Qiumo walked out of the room, he just heard such a sentence, so he asked, "How do you know that tomorrow will be sunny?"

Xiao Hua didn't even bother to turn her head and give him a blank look, she leaned her head lightly on You Zixuan's shoulder, pointed to the stars in the sky and said, "I see, there are so many stars. On a night with stars, tomorrow must be sunny."

"Why is it sunny on a night with stars? Isn't it the moon?" It was You Zixuan who asked this question.

"Don't ask me why, I'm not very clear. I just know that even if there is a moon at this moment, it will rain the next moment. Just because there is a moon, it doesn't mean that it must be sunny. But if there are stars, it must be." Observe the results for yourself over the years.

She didn't know whether it was absolute, but she knew that since she was a child, she had never seen a night with stars, and it would rain the next day.

"Oh, that's it." The three men replied in unison.

"Okay, let's go back and rest. I'm exhausted. Let's go back to Chengjiakeng tomorrow. Master Jiang and Taishou Lu have seen it today. They should know what to do. As for the one in sea water, I'm not particularly sure. You just look at it." Do it."

Xiaohua stood up, stretched herself, and said she was going back to sleep.Today is another night where I can't wash and wash. For this slightly clean freak, she gritted her teeth and endured it.This water is a precious thing and cannot be wasted by her.

The next day, Xiaohua and You Zixuan rushed back to Chengjiakeng, Du Yuchen returned to Qingzhou, and Lu Qiumo and Lu Taishou went to several other counties to solve these problems.

Three days later, Xiaohua received news that basically speaking, the drinking water problem has been temporarily solved, and those refugees have gradually returned home.

The food from the disaster relief was also sent to various county government offices, and the county government offices publicly donated porridge.In addition, the problem of fresh water near the sea, because the first time it was still a bit salty, after doing this a few times, it became watery.It's just that a lot of firewood needs to be burned, but fortunately, the drought has been too long this day, and all the firewood is empty.
