More than a dozen young men worked for Zhang Taiping, there was no stealing, cheating, Zhang Taiping supplied cigarettes and tea every day, the villagers were simple, they felt that the wages were a lot and there were cigarettes and tea to drink, they all worked very hard, only five days to dig faintly more than half, it seems that it will be less than ten days to dig it up.

Wang Peng used to be very Zhang Taiping who had been out for a while, and he knew best how to get along with the gangsters and young people, and he mixed with a few young men who drove excavators in two or three days. During the break, Wang Peng was farting with Wu Gang, and suddenly an eagle cries in the sky.

Wu Gang looked up at the eagle spreading his wings in the sky and asked in surprise, "What is that?" It's an eagle, right? ”

Wang Peng said triumphantly: "It's an eagle, but this eagle has been tamed by people, who are you who tamed this eagle?" ”

Wu Gang hesitated and said, "It won't be a handsome guy, right?" ”

"You guessed it. Last winter, I don't know if it was the god killer who injured the eagle's wings with a gun, but fortunately he was tamed by the eldest brother after being rescued by him, and his current name is Xiao Jin. ”

Wu Gang looked at Xiao Jin with envy as he circled and gradually fell towards Zhang Taiping's house. Not to mention in the cities, in the countryside, many people are proud to have a mighty dog, and as for taming the eagle, it is just a matter of thinking, and few people can do it. Leading the dog is the dream of every man who has lived in the mountains.

"It's still holding something in its claws." Xiao Jin fell, and said to Wang Peng after seeing it clearly.

As if this eagle was his own, Wang Peng said with great honor: "Well, Xiao Jin basically doesn't need his eldest brother to feed him, he goes to forage for food by himself, and he can catch one or two prey." I think it looks like a rabbit, but today you are blessed, and my sister-in-law's stewed rabbit meat is the best. ”

Two parrots, which had mysteriously disappeared for a few days, also appeared, flying in a circle above everyone's heads, shouting "eat, eat".

The villagers who heard it all laughed, saying that what these two guys said was not true.

Wu Gang asked again in surprise: "This bird can speak human language?" This bird can speak. "Obviously I was shocked, and I was a little emotional.

Wang Peng said with a little contempt: "This bird's name is parrot, and it can say a lot, and it is also raised by the eldest brother's family. ”

"It's also in the handsome guy's house?" Wu Gang is really convinced of Zhang Taiping, and he can raise so many extraordinary animals.

At noon, the lads were very fond of Xiao Jin, who was standing on the roof, but they did not dare to get too close to him, and threw the meat in his bowl far away. It's just that the arrogant little gold squinted and stood on the eaves, ignoring these things thrown over. At home, only Xiaojin will eat the things that Zhang Taiping personally fed, let alone these strangers.

Ten acres of land is not a small amount, and the soil dug up by digging three meters is about to cover the northern slope of the barren mountain in the south.

On the ninth day, it was already nearing the end, and there was only more than half an acre left near the foot of the barren mountain. It's close to the barren mountain, and there are a lot of rocks underneath, so it's not as easy to dig as a few days ago. When I dug two meters deep, the soil underneath became moist. The old village chief, who had been wandering around as a free overseer, looked over and said, "There is a water source down here."

He said to a villager next to him, "Go and call Dashuai here." ”

After Zhang Taiping came over, the old village chief asked: "There may be water dug up here, are you still going to dig it?" ”

Hearing that water can be dug up, Zhang Taiping was immediately overjoyed, if there is a living water source under the pond, it is the best thing: "Dig, why don't you dig it, it's better to have a water source, the pond must have a water source." ”

The village chief said: "Then dig it, but now you can't dig here first, you have to clean up everything else first, otherwise the water will come out and flow everywhere, and it will be difficult to work elsewhere." ”

Zhang Taiping nodded, and the excavator went to dig somewhere else first. At night, all the other places were dug up and connected to the southern slope, and when the time came, the pond was filled with water and could reach the bottom of the mountain. Only the small piece where there might be a water source was not in a hurry to dig up at night.

Early the next morning, after dawn, the excavation began. When digging to a depth of three meters, the soil is indeed wetter, but there is no water yet, and when digging to a depth of four meters, it is not as moist as when it is three meters. The young man who dug stopped and waited for Zhang Taiping's opinion.

Zhang Taiping thought about it, when the land was wet at three meters, it meant that there was a water source, but when it was four meters, it was not as wet as when it was three meters, indicating that the water source was not directly below. He fell into the big pit that was dug four meters deep, touched the surrounding soil wall, and when he came up, he said to the young man who was digging: "Just dig in the direction of the barren mountain from a place three and a half meters deep." ”

Sure enough, his guess was correct. The more you dig into the mountain, the wetter the soil becomes, and when you dig two meters into it, a little water begins to seep out.

Zhang Taiping waved his hand and said, "Just dig in here until you dig out a big water eye." ”

This is an old man who is also watching the excitement next to him and said: "This is going to dig into the mountain, it is best to pay homage to the mountain god before digging, so as not to have any accidents." ”

The young man who dug looked at Zhang Taiping and waited for his order. The village chief and a few other people next to him are also in a group, and Zhang Taiping should tell the mountain god first.

Some customs have their origins and culture when they exist, and Zhang Taiping didn't want to violate them, so he said to the young man: "Then wait a minute, worship the mountain god." Then he went to prepare things himself, incense and firecrackers and so on.

After worshipping the mountain god, most of the people in the village were relieved and dug several meters deep into the mountain, and the water inside was already gurgling outward, but at this moment, they heard the iron claws of the excavator tie and hit something hard.

The young man said, "It may have dug into the big rock inside." The young man continued to dig into it a few times, as if he had dug through the stone wall that blocked the groundwater, and the groundwater gushed out.

The old village chief looked at him and said, "This water eye is not small, I don't think I need to draw water from the river to the pond anymore, this groundwater is completely enough." ”

Just as he spoke, the village chief suddenly let out a "huh", because the water that was surging just now suddenly became smaller. Looking inside, I saw that the gap where the water was still bubbling just now was blocked by a textured stone.

The young man who was digging said, "It's all right, it's just a stone blocking the water's eye, just dig it up." As he spoke, he took control of the iron claw and dug up the big stone and poured it on the thin dirt that had been dug up next to it. Sure enough, it was this stone that blocked the water eye, and after digging it up, the water immediately returned to its previous appearance.

Everyone was praising this water eye, and they all said hello to Zhang Taiping, but they heard a scream behind them.

Zhang Taiping was startled, this was Fan Ming's voice, and quickly turned around and ran to Fan Ming's side, only to see her sitting on the ground, pointing to the big stone with texture just dug up with a frightened look.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Taiping asked as he helped her up.

"It's, there's something in it." It's still a look of horror. Just now, everyone was looking at the spring, and she felt that this stone with patterns was interesting in the back, so she wanted to observe it, but she didn't expect to see a scene that shocked her, the stone was moving!!

Zhang Taiping wondered, how could there be something in a stone, squatting next to him in the past to observe carefully, this attentive look gradually became serious, the texture on it was not disordered, but seemed to have a plan, just wanted to use his hand to rub off the mud and sand on it to look carefully, but suddenly felt that a thing stretched out from the "stone" like lightning, he quickly retracted his hand, and the thing that the lightning stretched out retracted again.

"Good guys!" Zhang Taiping couldn't help but scream. What kind of stone is this, it's clearly a turtle. When I dug it up, I couldn't see the real face in the thin mud and sand, and it was dug out of the mountain, so people thought it was just a big stone with a texture, and no one would think that it was a turtle at all.

Zhang Taiping's shouting attracted the villagers to come over, and they all gathered around, staring curiously at this special "stone".

The village chief asked, "Dashuai, what's wrong?" ”

"It's not a rock, it's a turtle." Zhang Taiping replied.

"Turtle?" "How did the turtle get to the mountains?" Everyone was incredible.

Wang Peng wanted to step forward and poke with his right hand, but Zhang Taiping hurriedly said, "Be careful of being bitten." "Just kidding, the head sticks out as fast as lightning, it's resting on Zhang Tianping, if it rests on someone else, you can't dodge, not everyone can touch it. If he was bitten by a turtle and pulled into the turtle shell, it would be a little infiltrating to think about it, Wang Peng smiled and didn't dare to step forward again.

Zhang Taiping took a shovel from the side and picked out the "stone" the size of the grinding disc from the mud and sand, and it was not as heavy as the stone. At this time, everyone can clearly see that this is really a turtle shell, but the other parts are shrunk in the turtle shell and can't be seen really. They all sighed with amazement as to how such a big turtle had gotten into the ground. There is little water in the north, and it is not easy to see a little turtle, let alone such a perverted big guy.

Scoop a basin of water and splash it on the turtle shell of the grinding plate, its head flashed out and shrunk in, it is really a turtle shell, a good place to defend the turtle shrinkage.

The mud and sand on the back are washed away, the texture becomes clear, and the color of the turtle shell is similar to the color of the rock, giving people a feeling of ancient vicissitudes, which must have been formed after a long time of carving. Zhang Taiping faintly felt like a seal character, but the people here didn't have much research on ancient Chinese characters, and they couldn't see anything.

The old village chief said, "Invite the two old men." ”

Everyone in the village knew who the two old men were referring to, and a few half-grown young men scattered in a hurry, but they went to call someone.

ps: It's the end of another month coming, and I'm here to borrow flowers from my brothers and sisters to hit the list.
