Chapter 273: Digging a ditch begins

Niu Li still wanted to excuse himself, "Yongjing damn, I haven't done much in the past two days." Actually, it's all done by men, and I don't do much work."

"Sister-in-law, don't say that. You're more capable, I know better than anyone else that you've done your best, I can't let your efforts go to waste, and if you refuse again, I'll be very angry."

Seeing that Chu Xintian was not joking, Niu Li was worried that she would be really angry, so she accepted the money.

Chu Xintian gave them so much silver, but an ordinary person couldn't earn so much for a month's work

They only did it for four days and hadn't thought of such a good thing before.

Chu Xintian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone had accepted the silver.

"Yongjing damn, what else do you need to do, let's go and help you" Niu Li took two taels of silver, and she was even more unhappy, she wanted to ask Chu Xintian what else she could do for her, so that she could try her best to help her.

As soon as Niu Li said, everyone agreed.

In Chu Xintian's view, the next work is not a small project.

She wanted to dig a river to divert the water from the deep pool in front of the wolf mother's house on the north mountain to the foot of the mountain.

Then dig a simple pit at the foot of the mountain to serve as a water cellar. After the medicine field is completed, the medicine field is irrigated with water from Beishan.

That's why Chu Xintian wants to buy all the saline-alkali land here.

She just wants to use the water of the North Mountain.

Chu Xintian told everyone what he thought.

Chu Xintian found the Niu family and his wife, Li Fusheng and Grandma Li to help with the work, because the two things of logging and opening the canal were related to Beishan.

There are only the Niu family and his wife, Li Fusheng and Grandma Li in the whole village, and they are worthy of Chu Xintian's trust.

Chu Xintian had long thought that Beishan was the territory of the wolf mother, and she didn't want other people in the village to enter the mountain to disturb the peace of the wolf mother.

Chu Xintian believed that the Niu family couple, Li Fusheng and Grandma Li would definitely do what she said, they would not covet the things in Beishan, and they would not easily enter Beishan.

Therefore, Chu Xintian asked them to help deal with these two things about Beishan.

After listening to Chu Xintian talk about building canals and water cellars, everyone felt that Chu Xintian gave them two taels of silver each, even if they helped for another ten days, no matter what, it is also a slack season now, and there is no work to be done in the field.

And they all know that Chu Xintian never owes others, and if they work with Chu Xintian, they will definitely get a lot of benefits.

So everyone agreed to follow Chu Xintian tomorrow morning, first of all, go to Beishan to inspect the terrain, and then see where the river channel and water cellar are suitable.

Of course, if he wanted to build a canal in Beishan to lead the waterhole down, Chu Xintian had already discussed this matter with the wolf mother in advance.

After all, the water that Chu Xintian wanted was brought out from the deep pool in front of the cave door, and the cave belonged to the territory of the wolf mother, and she had to discuss it with the wolf mother.

Of course, the wolf mother will not object.

Early the next morning, Niu Li and Li Fusheng arrived.

Chu Xintian left Bai Yongjing to look after the house, and then took the wolf mother, hammer and tools up the mountain.

From the foot of the mountain to the door of the wolf mother's house, it was all uphill all the way.

Beishan is a very high mountain, and the wolf mother has taken Chu Xintian to many places, but Chu Xintian has never climbed the entire mountain, nor has he climbed to the top of the mountain.

Chu Xintian didn't know how many mountains she hadn't been to, but she felt that the cave where Mother Wolf's family lived might not be deep in the lonely mountain, nor very high, not even halfway up the mountain.

Niu Dazhuang is very careful in his work, and as soon as he enters Beishan, he begins to count steps and measure the distance.

On the edge of the deep pool, Niu Dazhuang gave Chu Xintian a number: "Second daughter-in-law Bai, I have already walked two thousand steps."

The step length method, although not very strict, is also effective.

Chu Xintian calculated it based on the number Niu Dazhuang gave her.

The ox is big, tall and strong, and the pace is relatively large.

If Chu Xintian's step distance is fifty centimeters, then Da Niu's step distance is at least one meter.

But the road up the mountain is all uphill, and the road conditions are a bit difficult to walk. Chu Xintian was a little less. On average, seventy centimeters per step is about the same.

In other words, the distance from the foot of the mountain to here is about 1,400 meters, that is, less than three miles.

They came here from the foot of the mountain, and they walked for less than a quarter of an hour, almost.
