Chapter 242: The Tiger Ties the Bond (3)
Jiankong trotted all the way, the afterglow of dusk shone on both sides of the road, and the peasants walked back and forth carrying water, and the countryside that looked ordinary on weekdays was full of human touch.
Erhu is still doing research with a few villagers, although Erhu Bar does not have much culture, but it is still a little familiar with things in the rural fields, and Erhu actually has some clue about the problem of the well.
It is not a few people who think that this is poisoned by wizards and the like, this rural area is a relatively poor village, and the payment of land taxes in the countryside is indeed relatively slow, and every time it is buckled, many villagers will feel that this is the secret hand of the imperial court, and the conspiracy theory has become the mainstream view at some point.
"It must be the hand of the imperial court, so that our entire village is exterminated! Do you think that if we pay properly, there will be so many things? β
Another villager also expressed his opinion, "It's true that this thing is a bit unusual, but is it the hand of the imperial court?" There are so many villages in our Datang, and not every village is rich, there are definitely not a few like us, and last year was a locust plague, where is there still much surplus food in everyone's hands! β
Erhu shook his head and asked everyone to calm down.
Erhu: "Look! The possibility of natural disasters is high! As for whether it is the hand of the imperial court, it is indeed not necessarily, and everyone should not be so pessimistic! Although the imperial court is not far from here, if there is really a disease, won't the people of Chang'an be infected? Wouldn't the people there know? If you think about it, you probably know it in the past. If it was said that this happened in some barbarian land, I still believe it, but we are here, it is unlikely to happen. β
The villagers do agree with Erhu's remarks, but people are panicking, if they don't find out the problem as soon as possible, they are afraid that everyone will fall into chaos by themselves, what will happen to people once they fall into chaos, Erhu knows this very well along the way, it seems that the water of the monk Jiankong has made some trouble.
Jiankong ran from afar, and Erhu was very happy to see that he could still run all the way.
Erhu: "Who's here?" are waiting for you! β
Jiankong: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I occupied the donor's house here for a while, and then I woke up." β
The villagers were concerned about Jiankong's physical condition, and they all thought that Jiankong had only rested for a while, and he shouldn't have come out so early, and Jiankong also specially bent and stretched up and down to make everyone feel at ease.
Jiankong: "When the little monk first lost consciousness, he did feel very uncomfortable, but there was something strange in his stomach, and it felt like there was something wrong with the water quality, and maybe there were some unclean things mixed in the water!" β
Through these words, Erhu was more sure of his previous opinion, this well is indeed not clean, he quickly asked people to fish up the water from the well, since the water is polluted, the water must be replaced, so there may be a way.
However, the water in the well seemed to be bottomless, and Erhu was worried about whether he was wasting time by doing so, and the villagers were very frustrated when it was getting late. At this time, Erhu casually said that if a new well could be drilled, how many should be there, and then the villagers questioned it, and then laughed at Erhu for being so naΓ―ve.

It's not that the villagers haven't thought about digging new wells, but where will the money come from? The villagers here are not very good at these things, the ancestors did not dig wells in the craftsmanship given to them, only the farmland, Erhu is very depressed, this kind of craftsmanship will not be how they survived from generation to generation.
Immediately, Erhu and Jiankong found a villager to spend the night, and it would definitely not be safe to travel at night, not to mention that Erhu was more energetic than this well, and he also stayed with Jiankong.
Erhu: "If you don't go back for one night, will you be scolded by the abbot?" β
Jiankong: "The monks are compassionate, and if I explain the reason to the abbot, I believe they will not blame me." β
Erhu: "If that's the case, I've got another trouble to hand over to you." β
The two chatted late, and Erhu exchanged his ideas with Jiankong, and Jiankong said that he was still willing to give it a try.
The next day, Erhu told the villagers that he planned to dig a new well again, and if the villagers who were willing to help came to sign up, everyone was willing to contribute, and if they didn't have money, everyone's enthusiasm was still very high.
Then Erhu took the next step and explored the places where the water might come out of the village, thinking that it was indeed possible to dig well water in several places, so that the villagers marked it and instructed the villagers to start removing the sand on the surface. Many people don't understand why Erhu did this.
Erhu: "Originally, it is indeed easier to dig a well in summer, isn't it just spring, let's try to bet on luck, if your village is lucky, even if it is earned." β
Then Erhu called a few respected people in the village and the able-bodied young people, and taught them some easy ways to dig a well.
Erhu: "You have to observe the situation on the ground first, some places are wet, after the sun shines, hey?" You see, this place is, you are actually cooler than other places, so there is probably water under this area. If it's raining, you can see that the water on the ground is very easy to disperse, and it is likely that there is not much water in the soil, and it will fall into the ground at once, so you should not waste time in such a place! β
Some villagers shirked that they were busy farming in the summer, and they didn't have much time to dig wells or the like. How much time can be delayed in digging a well by working together? Erhu felt angry, but at this time he still suppressed his dissatisfaction.
Erhu: "If you don't have time to do it in the summer, it's okay to do it in the summer, because it's all manual work, and it's faster to do it in the summer." If you do it in winter, it depends on where the ice on the ground freezes slower than other places, even if there is a layer of frost on top of it, and the ice melts faster than other places when the weather is warm, then it means that there is actually a water source under this land. β
Now the villagers had nothing to say, and Erhu put his mind at ease, stepped on a few points directly, arranged for someone to guard it, and waited until Jiankong came back with a few senior brothers, and Erhu began to prepare to work.
Among the people in the Jiankong belt, there were also some people with tools, and the villagers were very curious and watched this big show together.
