After wearing the book, my professional group CP

Chapter 697
Hearing Wen Xiange's words, Xu Kai glanced at her in surprise, but didn't ask any more questions.

He knew that this apprentice was very sensitive to calculations and numbers. Specifically, he hadn't seen her practice it yet, and he would test her again when he found a chance.

"Then Lao Yang, let me do the calculation again with you." Xu Kai said to Professor Yang.

"Okay." Professor Yang nodded, and basically did not refute Xu Kai's words.

Their calculations were not as fast as Wen Xiange's. It took them nearly an hour to calculate a rough figure, which was basically the same as what Wen Xiange said.

"You're right. It's true that digging from here is the easiest way to save labor, and you can dig a canal along here to go to the pond over there." Xu Kai said.

"Then what should we do now, should we go find their captain in Xiaofeng Village?" Zhou Tao asked.

"Well, the few of us can't do this, and they must be hired."

Xu Kai nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll talk to their captain about this."

Both Xiaofeng Village and Huangping Village belong to a brigade, and their captain is a 60-[-]-year-old veteran.

After hearing Xu Kai's words, the old captain frowned and said, "You are talking about Luofeng Mountain, right? That mountain cannot be dug."

"Aren't you seriously short of water? Where there is water, why can't you dig it?" Zhou Tao asked immediately after hearing the words.

"There is no reason, it has been passed down from the ancestors, and that mountain cannot be dug." The old captain raised his eyes and shook his head.

"It's passed down from my ancestors, why haven't I heard of it?" A young man next to the captain also frowned and asked, Wen Xiange remembered that he seemed to have seen him in the crowd yesterday.

"You guys definitely don't know, we all of the older generation know that Luofeng Mountain cannot be dug, it is said that if you dig it, there will be a catastrophe." The old captain waved his hand.

"Could it be that your ancestors knew that there was a hidden river there, so they were afraid that the water would flow out and flood the fields after digging?" Wen Xiange suddenly said after thinking about it.

"I don't know, anyway..."

"It's drought now, why worry about flooding the field? Isn't our field short of water? I support digging. Let's go. I'll call you people." The young man waved his hand before the old captain finished speaking and was ready to call people. .

"You bastard, stop for me, if I say you can't dig, you can't dig." The old captain slapped the table angrily when he saw his grandson insisting on going his own way.

Wen Xiange and the others standing aside had complicated thoughts at this moment, and their expressions were a bit indescribable for a moment.

For whom are they working so hard and in such a hurry?

Knowing that there is water, but they also lack water, the old captain insists on following the ancestral precepts and disregarding the life and death of the members, they don't know what to say.

"Teacher, let's go back." Seeing this, Wen Xiange supported Mr. Xu and said, they have found a solution, as for whether they want to use it or not, it is none of their business, life or death is their own choice.

"Well, let's go." Xu Kai nodded, the water source was found, and he had an explanation for this trip.

"Hey, don't go." The young man hurriedly stopped him when he heard that Xiange and the others were going to leave.

After finishing speaking, he eagerly said to the old captain: "Grandpa, I don't care whether you agree or not on this matter. I will tell everyone now that if most members of the commune agree, this mountain must be dug. We can't follow the rules and let us Starve to death."

"You, you, what do you know? It can't be raining all the time. I believe it will rain soon. But if you dig up Luofeng Mountain, the fields will be flooded by then, and we will really have to pay for it in the future." There is no food to eat, maybe there is no place to live." The old captain also pointed at the young man angrily and said eagerly.
