294 Out of the water
Zhao Shuang said: "This villager, dare to ask you who have planted crops for so many years, is every time you plant crops, you will definitely be able to harvest a bumper harvest?" ”
The villagers laughed and said, "The eldest lady doesn't understand nongsang, right?" How can the crops be planted to get a bumper harvest, drought and flood disasters, locusts, and rat plagues may all fail to harvest, how do you know the suffering of our people? ”
Zhao Shuang asked again: "Then ask you again, if water can be pumped out of this well, do you think I will move over, live in your Yanjing Village, and eat the water in this well?" ”
The villagers laughed teasingly: "Miss, is it uncomfortable to live in the county government mansion in your Lanfeng City?" How did you come to live in our poor, dirty little village? No, it won't! ”
Zhao Shuang said: "Since you plant it, it may not necessarily be a bumper harvest, you still have to plant; Since I don't dig a well for myself, why do you still complain so much when you go to dig a well for your own sake of drinking water? ”
After hearing this, the villagers didn't feel any shame, but said: "Digging a well is not planting crops, although your eldest lady doesn't drink water for herself, but you are for your own good name, who doesn't know now that you are a famous heroine in Lanfeng County, a good person, a talented woman, erudite and talented, and sympathetic to the people, if you don't come to help us dig a well, who will help us?" ”
Zhao Shuang suddenly felt that her impulse to do good deeds was about to be exhausted, she gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, you can think so, now I will ask you one last question, do you still want to dig a well after passing Yanjing Village?" ”
The village chief hurriedly ran over, pushed the unscrupulous villager away and said: "Miss Zhao, don't be like the untouchables in the countryside, their family is a well-known bastard family in our village, and they are unreasonable, you and Lord Zhao help our village dig wells, our whole village is very grateful, if it weren't for you and Lord Zhao, our whole village would have already gone to ask for food and be a homeless person." ”
Zhao Shuang said: "I'll just ask, do you still want to dig this well?" ”
"Fighting, of course, fighting, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must also fight, this is our hope not to be homeless and to live. Look at those displaced people, six or seven times out of ten will die on the road, we don't want to see our relatives starve to death and die of disease on the road. ”
Zhao Shuang didn't bother to say anything, and with a wave of her hand, Rou Niang came over, handed a cloth bag to the village chief and said: "This is the thing that our girl has been busy with these days, and she has specially given you the things that have been configured in Yanjing Village. But be careful, don't get it on people's skin, don't say I didn't make it clear to you, don't trouble me if you hurt your skin. ”
When the village chief heard this, his hand holding the bag shook, but he still held the bag firmly, this is a treasure that can dissolve stones.
The village chief took the villagers and poured the powder diluted with water on the big stone in the well, and after half a sound, he went to dig the stone again, and the stone became soft and easy to dig out.
The villagers were excited: "Miss Zhao won't be a fairy, right?" You can make something like this that melts stones! ”
With this miraculous fossil point, the enthusiasm of the villagers to dig the well suddenly rose, not only because the problem was solved, but also because of the trust in Miss Zhao.
Counting the time, another five days passed, Zhao Shuang visited Yanjing Village again, the villagers were still digging wells, and they had already drilled ten zhang deep, which was an incredible existence in ancient times.
It was precisely because Zhao Shuang found them this place with special soil quality that they were able to play ten zhang deep, and the wall of the well was still hard, and there was no possibility of collapse.
The village chief said: "Miss Zhao, although the water has not yet been pumped out, the newly beaten soil is starting to damp, and we must have water underneath!" ”
Zhao Shuang said: "I also think that there should be water down there, and I think that water should be pumped out today." ”
While he was talking, a shout came from the well: "Out of the water, out of the water, the water is very big, quickly pull the people down to come up!" ”
