The southern village boundary that the old man took Qi Ke to see was a poor river, which had changed from the surface and depth of the river that could be used to sail to the fact that it could only wash clothes, and if it weren't for the fact that the water network was connected and could get a little water replenishment, this small river would have dried up a long time ago.

This small river is not important to the villagers of Siliu, it is just a village boundary river, but for the villagers of Sanliu on the other side of the river, this is the river with the largest amount of water flowing through the village, and the large households that intercept the water source are related to the border army generals who used to guard the coastal defense, and they have been powerful and blessed for many years, and they have seen the river shrink year by year, and the water level has fallen, and they do not reflect on their mistakes at all, so they know that they are holding Siliu Village and not forgiving, and they have to ask the salt merchant to pay for Sanliu Village to find a new water source.

Qi Ke asked that the final flow of this small river was the sea, and immediately felt that the water of this river was already shallow, what could be done to stop the river, and the sea did not lack this amount of water replenishment.

However, it is needless to say that Sanliu Village is already a dead village, and why the previous villagers did not stop the river is a matter of the past, and the new villagers in the future will have to do so if they want to keep the water consumption when they are busy farming.

After reading the boundary river in the south of the village, Qi Ke followed the old man to the boundary river in the north of the village, which is the village boundary of Siliu and Wuliu Village, the situation is the same as the boundary river in the south of the village, and it is worse, it is the big family in the county that occupies the best water vein in Wuliu Village, and the big landlord of Siliu Village is a salt merchant, without the background of the county, not to mention the busy farming, and usually instigates the villagers to come over and compete for the waterway, fortunately, the salt merchant has some ability, and Wuliu Village is not called to occupy the waterway of Siliu Village, Otherwise, they villagers alone would really not be able to deal with the children of big families with family support.

Qi Ke felt that these three villages were really powerful, one had the support of relatives of the generals in the army, one had the support of a big family, and the other was a salt merchant, and each of the three villages had a big family that did not obey each other.

However, these are all things of the past, the big families have withdrawn, now these villages are empty, those who can escape have fled, there are these eighteen people in Siliu Village are even popular now, some villages only have a few old and weak sick and disabled, you can still see people when you catch the sea, and it is not strange to see fewer people one day, either sick or gone.

Qi Ke kept these stories in his heart, and he could write them down in the investigation book and hand them over to the Bai Jiajun, so that the army could understand the living conditions of the villagers as soon as possible.

When they returned to the village, the people who happened to enter the mountain also came back with firewood and wild vegetables Zhang Luo's first meal today, Qi Ke sent the two old people back to Yuan Ting's house, politely declined their invitation to eat together, and under the pretext of sorting out the situation collected this morning, they made an appointment to talk again in the afternoon, and then said goodbye and left.

After returning to Zhuangzi, Qi Ke immediately flashed into the spiritual realm and took the drone out, taking advantage of Yuan Ting and a group of them being busy eating, no one in the village was moving, and the sky was sunny and bright, so she immediately put the drone into the sky to scan the entire territory of the village and the surrounding environment of the two adjacent villages.

Yuan Ting and the others, who have been busy in the mountains until now, naturally didn't notice it, they were tired and hungry, and all their thoughts were on the stove.

Qi Ke finished taking the pictures to be used, put away the drone, and then found a room in Zhuangzi where someone had lived before, because she didn't want to clean the dust, even if the room where the Shen family lived was not clean, at least the tables and chairs could be used.
