Chapter 772: There are doubts about the obstruction of drilling wells
Fu Xiaojiu looked at him puzzled, "Brother Zhang, do you feel any discomfort?" ”
Wan Zhang lowered his eyes embarrassedly and said, "That, can someone else do the thing of applying medicine to my whole body?" You're still pregnant, and you've been busy with me for so long, so you're going to be tired, so let someone else do such a simple thing. ”
Fu Xiaojiu said indifferently: "I have a good body, and I don't feel tired at all!" ”
"Third Sister-in-law......"
Bai Yusheng couldn't help but remind Fu Xiaojiu.
Fu Xiaojiu reacted for a while before he understood, and Wan Zhang was embarrassed again.
Fu Xiaojiu didn't insist this time, and said empathetically: "Okay, then I'll call Tan Langzhong and Zhai Langzhong to help." ”
Although in Fu Xiaojiu's view, doctors don't care about the patient's gender at all when facing the patient, but Wan Zhang's era is conservative after all, and she is still the wife of Wan Zhang's best friend, it is normal for Wan Zhang's heart to be awkward.
The previous treatments were all indispensable to Fu Xiaojiu, but if someone else could do the medicine, Fu Xiaojiu would not be strong, and at the same time, he could make Wan Zhang feel more comfortable.
Zhai An and Tan Zhanpeng were also very happy to learn that the new drug worked well.
The two of them also asked Bai Yusheng a lot of questions when they were applying medicine to Wan Zhang, and they were all patiently answered by Bai Yusheng.
Fu Xiaojiu told Nianzhen, Wan Lin and others about Wan Zhang's situation at this time, and they all felt that Wan Zhang's hope of recovery was greater.
After applying the powder to Wan Zhang's whole body, the tonic medicine that Fu Xiaojiu boiled for him specifically for his physical condition was also boiled.
Applying external and internal supplements, two hours later, Wan Zhang's body took a miraculous turn.
Because of the poison residue, not only the skin on his face was grayish-white, but the skin on his body was also gray, and it was also red when he touched it.
Although Wan Zhang's skin did not return to the color of normal skin after applying the powder, it was no longer red when it was touched.
Seeing that Wan Zhang had improved a little, Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help but increase his confidence, and he had to continue to upgrade the formula without sleep.
Nianzhen forcibly pulled her to rest, so she had no choice but to rest.
Bai Yusheng was also persuaded by Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo for a long time before going to rest.
Originally, Bai Yusheng wanted his two family members to take care of Wan Zhang at night, but Zhai An and Tan Zhanpeng never left, and took the initiative to ask them to guard Wan Zhang at night, after all, they were Lang Zhong, and if something happened to Wan Zhang, they could deal with it in time.
Bai Yusheng had to agree to them, telling them that if Wan Zhang had a situation that they couldn't handle, they would come to him in time no matter what time it was.
Although Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo persuaded Bai Yusheng to rest, the two of them worked tirelessly with Gong Rui and the craftsmen to build various machines.
The sooner we find a source of water, the sooner the drought can be alleviated.
The disaster situation in Dongzhou County is lighter than that in Linyang County, and if well water is successfully drilled in the fields, the drought in Dongzhou County will be alleviated in about three days.
After half an afternoon and a night of hard work, two small excavators and three drilling rigs were finally built.
Everyone had a simple bite of breakfast and carried the machine to the field before dawn.
Under the guidance of Gong Rui, all five machines began to work.
Wan Linlu said with some regret: "It's a pity that Brother Jing Zhang can't see it at this time, if he can see these exquisite machines replace manual labor, and soon dig out the water, he will definitely jump up with joy." ”
Qi Hongkuo's eyes were also full of hope, and he smiled expectantly: "Don't worry, Lord Wan, with the two miracle doctors Fu Langzhong and Bai Langzhong, Wan County Ling will soon be able to witness with his own eyes how the drought has been alleviated." ”
Qi Hongkuo said that the matter of digging ditches and wells here should be handed over to Gong Rui's supervision, and they should go back to the county government to continue to distribute money and grain to the people, and then find out what else the local people need help with.
Wan Lin agreed to Qi Hongkuo's suggestion, leaving some officials and officers and soldiers to assist Gong Rui, and they returned to the yamen.
Compared with Linyang County, the disaster fight in Dongzhou County is indeed smoother.
This is still due to Wanzhang's hard work and early prevention.
Wan Zhang's condition this morning is much better than yesterday, Fu Xiaojiu and Bai Yusheng plan to upgrade the medicine powder again today, so that Wan Zhang can recover faster.
Both disaster relief and Wan Zhang's bodies are developing in a better direction, and everyone's mood is improving.
However, sometimes it is not a good thing that things go too smoothly, and there will always be inexplicable problems.
Wan Lin was sitting on the edge of the bed and excitedly telling Wan Zhang about using machines instead of manpower to dig ditches and dig wells, when Tan Su suddenly knocked on the door in a hurry.
"Ten thousand adults! Ten thousand adults! ”
Wan Lin heard that Tan Su's tone was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Is it Tan Su?" In! ”
As soon as Tan Su entered the house, he said breathlessly: "My lord, it's not good, something happened when we were digging a well!" ”
Wan Lin stood up with "Teng", "What's wrong?" ”
Wan Zhang's heart also tightened, staring at Tan Su nervously.
Tan Su replied with an aggrieved face: "We have already dug a well this morning, and we have also dug two new canals to divert water. But when the second well was about to be drilled, a group of villagers suddenly appeared out of nowhere, saying that we had destroyed the feng shui of their village by digging a well there, and that we would not be allowed to dig a well. ”
Wan Lin's thick eyebrows twisted slightly, "How can this be?" ”
Although Wan Lin couldn't help but be angry when he was blocked from digging a well, if he really violated the taboo of a certain village, it was also negotiable.
Wan Lin suppressed his anger and asked, "Isn't there already a well already drilled?" Can we just change the location of the second well? ”
Tan Su shook his head helplessly, "The place where the well was dug was surveyed by Lord Qi and Mr. Gong before, and there will be no water in another place." ”
Fu Xiaojiu said angrily: "Even if the water is gone, what kind of feng shui do you pay attention to?" Do these villagers prefer their crops to die of drought and people to starve to death to believe in feng shui at this time? ”
Fu Xiaojiu's words are very reasonable, and the theory of feng shui can be believed, but the people are bored, what feng shui do you care?
Could it be that this feng shui is to starve people to death, and then become a cemetery with excellent feng shui?
Wan Lin told Wan Zhang about the location of digging a ditch and digging a well, and Wan Zhang said with some annoyance and puzzlement at this time: "According to what Brother Lin just said, the location of the second well should be in Jinping Village, and I have never heard of any special feng shui when I organized the villagers to dig a ditch to store water!" ”
Tan Su was a little calmer than just now, and boldly guessed: "My lord, you are a parent official who thinks about the people, and they know that what you do is for their good." But we adults are from the capital, could they be worried that we won't really help them, so they want to stop us from digging wells? ”
Wan Lin nodded and said, "I think there may be such a possibility." Some places are very xenophobic, and the locals can do anything, but outsiders will be very vigilant when they do things, and they are afraid that outsiders will do something bad for them. ”
However, Tan Su and Wan Lin's speculations were denied by Wan Zhang.
"The folk customs of Jinping Village are very simple and enthusiastic, many businessmen and students will pass by Jinping Village, if they borrow or beg for food and water in the village, the villagers are very enthusiastic, so they will not have such a heavy defense."
Wan Lin retorted: "Can borrowing and begging for food and water be compared to breaking ground in their fields?" It makes sense for them to be more guarded. Since they don't want to dig a well there, let's change the place and work hard for them to get water where there is a well. ”
"No, why do I think there's something wrong with this? Just like Fu Lang said, people can't live anymore, what kind of feng shui do you talk about? ”
Wan Zhang's heart swelled with great doubts, and he asked Tan Su again, "Are those people really villagers?" Is there a village chief or Li Zheng following? ”
When Wan Zhang asked this, Tan Su was stunned.
"They're all dressed as villagers, aren't they villagers? However, the person who took the lead was a big man who looked very fierce, he had a horizontal face, bulging eyes, and he looked like he was in his thirties, and he didn't say whether he was the village chief or Lizheng. ”
After Tan Su finished speaking, the suspicion in Wan Zhang's heart became even heavier.
"Why don't I remember that there is such a number one person in Jinping Village? Although I don't know all the villagers in Jinping Village, if there is such a big guy, how could I not have seen them when I took them to dig a ditch to store water? ”
Wan Lin immediately understood what Wan Zhang meant, but said with some incredulity: "Do you suspect that the big man is not from Jinping Village, or even a villager at all?" ”
Wan Zhang nodded noncommittally, "Brother Lin is right, I did guess so." But this is a bit unreasonable, the drought is so severe, how can anyone come out to stop us from helping the villagers alleviate the drought? ”
Wan Zhang showed a slightly embarrassed expression when he said it, "Say something boastful." In the two years I have been in office, I have traveled to all the villages and towns in Dongzhou County and solved the difficulties encountered in each village and town, and the people still support me very much. No matter what I say they do, they will cooperate. It is unlikely that something like this will prevent you from digging a well like today. ”
Wan Lin also said: "Brother Zhang, you don't have to be humble. When we were digging ditches and wells in Linyang County, the people brought their whole families to bring us water and food, and contributed. You care more about the people than Lu Xianling, and they should indeed cooperate with us as you said, and they will never come out to stop the disaster relief. ”
Fu Xiaojiu suddenly asked, "Mr. Gong, they didn't have a conflict with those villagers, did they?" ”
Tan Su replied: "Before the little one came, the two groups were in a stalemate, but the little one specially told Mr. Gong to be calm and not impatient, and wait for the little one to come back and report to Lord Wan before making plans." ”
Fu Xiaojiu breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, "As long as the people are fine, if our officers and soldiers really do something with them, let's not talk about whether they will suffer losses, I'm afraid that they will put a charge of bullying the people on our heads." ”
However, he was afraid of something, and Qi Hongkuo suddenly walked into the house out of breath.
