Chapter 19: The Search for Water
Abstract: The villagers began to search for water everywhere, and in order not to be obtrusive, Zhang Yu's family also got involved
The weather in Zhang Yu's hometown is still dry as before, the scorching sun is in the sky, there is no sign of changing the sky at all, and now, most of the crops in the fields have died, but there is still no half drop of rain.
Seeing such a situation, people are getting more and more panicked. Now, there are very few wells that produce water, needless to say that they are used to irrigate crops, and even the villagers in the village are running out of water to drink. Nowadays, it is becoming more and more difficult to get water, and every day, people have to go to the well where the water comes out to line up to fetch water.
On the other hand, Long Xiang is also very worried about the situation in his family, the Long family has become unstable because of the conflict between the two factions, and later, the food mutation has made the situation of the Long family even more precarious, although the father of the dragon said to Long Xiang not to worry, in fact, the situation over there is very not optimistic, although, because of Long Xiang's reminder, the father of the dragon hoarded a part of the food materials, in a short time, you can deal with it, but this is not a long-term solution.
Long Xiang and Long's father both know that the autumn harvest is very critical to their family, but they didn't expect that at this time, there was a flood in the Long family, the clouds were thick, and finally there was no daylight, and many crops were drowned, not only that, because a large number of people in the city poured into the countryside to rob grain, causing great losses to the countryside, and now, many fields have been unmanaged, and the situation of this autumn harvest is not optimistic.
On the contrary, Zhang Yu is exposed to the scorching sun every day, and now the villagers have changed from worrying about the crops to worrying about themselves.
Now the water source has become very tight, and the remaining well water in the village will not last too long, and if it does not rain again, the current well will soon dry up. The people of the village are already discussing going out to find water.
There is an enchantment of the gods in the village, and it is relatively safe, but when you go out, you will definitely encounter a lot of unknown dangers, so everyone is very cautious about this.
"Sister, the well in our village is estimated to not take long, and everyone is now discussing going outside to find a water source!" Zhang Jian said to Zhang Yu that he was also very concerned about this matter.
"Well, if the weather is still like this, if it doesn't rain, it will definitely not work if you don't go out to find water." Zhang Yu looked at the scorching queen outside.
"Well, but I heard that the drought area here is quite large this time, and there are such situations everywhere, now, where to find water sources!" Thinking of those rumors from people, Zhang Jian said a little distressed.
"Wells are usually drilled in the plains, and the situation is similar to ours here, I think this time I have to go to the mountains to find water!" Zhang Yu thought for a while and said.
"It's very dangerous to go to the mountains now, haven't the plants begun to mutate? Also, there may be evolved animals in it. "Zhang Jian was very smart this time.
"Well, what you say is possible, but if you don't go to find water, what will the people in the village do, will they die of thirst like this? Besides, what you said is only possible, after all, the mutation of plants has only just begun, and the mountains should not be so dangerous. Zhang Yu replied after thinking for a while.
"Sister, what you say makes sense!" Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Zhang Jian thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case.
"The important thing is that the people in the village don't know about the plants starting to mutate, they don't know about the animals, they don't understand the danger at all, and when the time comes, there is no water, they will definitely go out to look for it." Speaking of this, Zhang Yu sighed, in order not to cause panic among people, the state has hidden many things.
Covering up the truth of the matter does have some advantages, that is, people will not panic too much, and there is still hope in their hearts, so it is more beneficial to the stability of the general situation, but there are also disadvantages to doing so, the so-called: ignorance so fearless, people do not know these things, so even if the danger is in front of them, they turn a blind eye, and often put themselves in a dangerous environment without knowing it.
Zhang Yu doesn't know how to evaluate this approach of the country, as the old saying goes: "If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone", Zhang Yu is just a weak woman, her ability is very limited, so she can only choose the latter, many things, she can only choose to turn a blind eye, because she is really powerless.
"Sister, I don't think my brother has been in a very good mood lately, what's going on?" Zhang Jian suddenly thought of Long Xiang's abnormality during this time, so he asked.
"Hey! The Long family's side also suffered a disaster, so he was in a bad mood and worried about the situation over there. "Even Zhang Jian, who has a big nerve, has discovered Long Xiang's recent abnormality, which shows that the situation on the Long family's side this time is really serious.
"What, Brother Long's hometown has also suffered?" Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Zhang Jian sighed for a while.
"Well, it's the opposite of ours, it's a flood." Zhang Yu said a little helplessly.
"What, there's a flood over there! Why are the two sides uneven! Zhang Jian and Zhang Yu have the same feelings.
Hearing Zhang Jian's emotion, Zhang Yu didn't hear it, at this moment, she was thinking about what happened to the Long family, if it was just a flood, Long Xiang shouldn't be so worried. Although she also asked, Long Xiang seemed to have her own thoughts, and she didn't tell her in detail, only asking her not to worry.
However, seeing Long Xiang like this, how could she not be worried. However, Zhang Yu imagined that Long Xiang had thought about it, and after he made a decision, he would definitely tell himself.
Sure enough, the village chief called a meeting to discuss the issue of water.
Water is now being used less and less, and if we can't find a new source of water before the current water source is exhausted, the whole village will not be able to survive. The person in charge of the village knows this, so, now, it is necessary to start preparing in advance.
Sure enough, Zhang's father, who came back from the meeting, told everyone that the village had decided to organize people to go outside to find a water source. The safety of the village, there are gods, there is no need to worry, so, this water search plan, the young and middle-aged people in the village must participate, at the very least, each family has to have one person out, of course, except for special circumstances.
Because of the existence of a spring in Zhang Yu's space, there is no need to worry about water at home, but this matter must be kept secret, and in order not to arouse everyone's suspicion, Zhang Yu's family must also participate in this plan.
After some discussion, the representative of Zhang Yu's family is Zhang Jian, and the representative of Zhang Yi's family is Wang Lin.
As a result, people began a long search for water. And at this time, Long Xiang received a call from his younger brother Long Zheng.
